Ready to join the battle. ICQ: 647246228 Hello. I'm writing to be on standby.

05/16/2010 Weber (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def bijho (Red, Stronghold, Kragg, Kragg) 2sm4d(3) 223

I confirm Weber. He played very poorly:( Thanks for the game:)

Confirmation is done like this

Albert@s (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def TunguS (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 232

111 - 9 archers for Valya, 6 heroes. 112 - path to the secondary is a horde of Marksmen, but 2 Griffin Conservatories, 4 Dwarf Cottages, and 3 Crypts are revealed; it's decided not to take the rest. A week of clearing, breaking back home, and 1246 in Castle. 121 by chain: 6 Champions to Valya, 38 Marksmen, and a mini-Griffin Conservatory; after that I'm torn, I don't know what to do — either go clear the path to the secondary and take 2 Griffin Conservatories, or finish collecting the Dwarf Cottages and Crypts; I settle on the second option. By 125 the opponent has taken the secondary. The strike army is bought out, so on 127 a Capitol without Angels, breaking back home. 131 - another dilemma: go into the unknown or take a Naga, Dwarf Cottage, Medusa-den, and 3 artifacts? I chose the second option, though with overnight stays on the Angel I managed it in 3.5 days...In the Castle: Town Portal, no Earth magic, the Scholar-Non-Scholar gives Navigation; I'm thinking whether it's even worth taking the secondary to get home successfully? 137 Angels. 141 mini-Griffin Conservatory, no luck...144 I finally decide to take the secondary along the way and Griffin Conservatory 2; Chains are set in case the opponent appears (but the map turned out to be overly closed — 15 Faerie Dragons and a horde of Scorpicores, the bypass is too far away). I return home closer to the Castle, Town Portal, Archangels, overnight stay, and 211...No opponent, 2 empty slots; I have no idea how to hit the GO, so I go to the treasure zone I found in the dungeon. Week 5 - a triple Dragon Utopia, a Hat: 4-4 Attack-Knowledge, the Book of Fire, and a Ring of Life giving me the Elixir of Life...I feel relieved, plus 31 Efreet, the Golden Bow, and about 30K experience in Pandora's Boxes; blue's hero grows like a weed. The last Pandora - 25 Gold Golems (if I can pull off an Armageddon at the end). Portal home, overnight stay, and off I go...13 Archangels, 23 Champions, 160 Marksmen, 33 Zealots, 52 Crusaders, 31 Efreet, and 25 Gold Golems (there was an option of 72 Royal Griffins or 320 Pikemen, but I decided they definitely wouldn't dominate). GO about 150 Scorpicores — no losses; next to it, blue's main Castle. On the next turn, I check with a scout hero; his army seems a bit stronger than mine, and his hero too; running without Earth magic experience is pointless, so I attack — 11 Gold Dragons, 55 Dendroids, 125 Grand Elves, 60 Pegasi, 120 Dwarves, 38 Efreet, and Unicorns (I don't remember how many). I cast Implosion on the Gold Dragons — almost -5; he shoots the catapult with the tower (debatable in this case, though with a favorable outcome... I still have 2 stacks of archers and Archangels); after that, he casts mass Haste, skips turns; I classically block him in his Castle with Efreet...Then it was simple — clones of Archangels decided the battle...I have the Speed Ring +2, plus the Elixir; everything was resolved quickly; part of the army didn't participate in the fight...Game result: 9 Chesterfield cigarettes, slightly burnt pilaf, and pleasant fatigue. TunguS played well, thanks for the game, good luck in your future battles on the fields of Erathia!!!

Albert, it's all great, and you did well. Your reports are formatted a bit differently; pay attention to that.

Where did they find so many inexperienced players? They seem to know the game better than I do.

GROUP B 05/15/2010 Sevan_80 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Basir777 (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2sm4d(3), 113 The opponent took all the resources and lost on the third day, it's both joyful and sad. Thank you for the game!!!

05/15/2010 Sevan_80 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Basir777 (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2sm4d(3), 113

I confirm, Sevan_80, it was very unfortunate. Either Ivor had no Elves, or the archers blocked all the paths for the entire game. Thanks for the game.

thanks for the game))

Аlbert@s (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def TunguS (blue, Rampart, Kir, Kir) 2sm4d(3) 232

I confirm! The initial distribution seemed okay, there's an external dwelling of trees nearby. I start expanding slowly and realize at 114 that I should have taken a restart—no crypts, no one-bank, nothing!! Half of the red player's territory is revealed; I see Valeska scurrying around, but there's nothing to buy army with, though the archers and buddies are running around like crazy) I manage to push through and collect everything, took 3 or 4 Dragon Utopia, got a +4 shield and a +3 necklace, everything else was trash. The chests had +5 bows, the rest was experience, money, spells; I had expert fire. Didn't get berserkers. Took 2 cons, only 3 angels total, lost 1 in the Dragon Utopia... overall, the imbalance decided it) I roughly knew where the grail was located and was already crawling toward it; I had DD and fly, but the opponent popped up) Well, that's where I lost, especially since the golden bow didn't save me(

16.05.2010 TunguS (Blue, Inferno, Marius, Marius) def magamet (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 221

I confirm

I just didn't see the path to her :(, and automatically went around, damn it, I was actually heading there along a different route... there were also a Bible and Pandoras standing there...

TunguS, just copy the top part of the report:

Albert@s (color? Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def TunguS (color? Rampart, Kir, Kir) 2sm4d(3) 232

and tell us what you were doing in the game (if possible) =) No need for such large quotes. Good luck on the battlefield! =)

White starts and wins, first red)))

Basyr is a very unpleasant opponent; I don't understand what happened to you? Why didn't you perform well in the game without rests? Or was it just too much for you?
Games like this don't enhance the tournament; please replay according to the initial setup...

They don't enhance it, but it's just a game... IMHO, in TOURNAMENTS, it's each player's business whether to give or take a "human save" (look, almost half of the players have "no auto" written under their avatars, which is almost the same thing). Get used to adult life!

GROUP C
19.05.2010 Zadira (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def тенью бездомной (red, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) 2sm4d(3), 135

My opponent took 1 restart on 111 and we were off
In the first week 123456 at the Castle with the Grove of Dendroids + the Citadel with Roc housing in the Citadel + an external dwelling of Pegasi
At the end of the second week I see Gosh with his entourage; on 127 there are chains from the Rampart and the Citadel with 10 Thunders; on 131 I hand everything over to Ivan and go to bait Gosh and his crew; I wipe them out in a Fireball without any major issues.

Thanks for the game!:smile17:
