Round 11 "Contact N00bs" - "Fried Eaters"
Deriel Linch (Red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Clavius, 5 7 6 4) def злой_романтик (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Tamika, 6 11 6 4) 2sm4d(3), SoD, 141.
Yeah, the Necro secondary skills and the converter decided it, and also the gates that fell on the first hit of the ballista + oil, which I just couldn't level up in time :(
P.S. First time I see that ALL skills for 2 heroes were upgraded ABSOLUTELY IDENTICALLY :D

Homo Homini vs Nebuchadnezzar

bRitvo4kA (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Kirr) def XL' (blue, Castle, Valeska, Galtran), Mini-Nostalgia, 213

I played with 3 heroes, but I didn't have enough time for each turn and teleportation to fully enjoy the game.



Thank you for the game!

Homo Homini vs Nebuchadnezzar

bRitvo4kA (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Kirr) def XL' (blue, Castle, Valeska, Galtran), Mini-Nostalgia, 213

I played with 3 heroes, but I didn't have enough time for a full turn and teleportation.
Thanks for the game!

It was a good game! Likewise!

Nebuchadnezzar vs Fried-Eaters

KillerVampire (red, Castle, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def rebellious (blue, Tower, Nella, Nella) 2sm4d(3), SoD, 146.

I chose Gurnisson and didn't regret it. In the first week, I was shocked – two secondary heroes (fast roads) and a breeding ground for Cyclops. Cyclops in the castle, in the second week, a third secondary hero and another Dungeon, :D :smile03: well, I thought... :smile10: it's time to gather a powerful army. I scouted the wings and started collecting monsters. I gathered 49 Griffins + 11 Angels, and so on. Complete control – in short, NO CHANCE. I went to the opponent, took all the available BUILDINGS, cleared the territory of the Collectors that were annoying me, and went to his main underground. I couldn't catch up immediately, but on the next turn, unconditional surrender :smile24: I'm going to write a report now....
Thanks for the game, we played all night and a couple of hours the next day.

Nebuchadnezzar vs Fried Eaters

KillerVampire (red, Castle, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def rebellious (blue, Tower, Nella, Nella) 2sm4d(3), SoD, 146.

He was cornered at the edge of the map, and the only road led to a single swamp secondary resource. His own starting area was twisted with winding paths, making it a 4-day journey to the nearest Necropolis. From the swamp, a Dungeon and a distant sandy treasure were visible. He didn't venture into the sandy treasure, but the Dungeon only contained Pandoras with rags and experience, guarded by hundreds of monks and archmages... With enough money, he could have built up his army using Gorgons (2 outposts), but where would he get them...
Thanks for the game.

Round 2: "Epuny" vs. "Kontaktnye Nuby" Mizrael (red, Conflux, Kalt, Kalt) defeated Deriel Linch (blue, Inferno, Marius, Marius) with a score of 8mm6 213. We played with WT without experience, taxes, or a bank (which was a bit of a setback; I was counting on having a bank on the first day, but I had to rely on the market instead). I started off well on the first day, although I had few air units and kept losing butterflies. However, by the end of the week, I had built earth dwellings with a Stronghold and 2 outposts + an air outpost. I also defeated a computer-controlled Barbarian, who quietly died in the sands on the second week. From the second week, I gathered some ducks and angels, explored the map, but only found the Utopia at the end of the third week. Along the way, I also defeated another computer-controlled player (dungeon), who had brought in a Capitol. On day 141, I found a level 3 Utopia, which was quite large, but it was perfect for my Soda:D: with Crown of the Magi, Crown of Wisdom, and a +6 helmet on everything. However, flying to the air expert is also a form of control. I gathered some treasure along the way and, while scouting for air units, I found where the blue player was. I flew there and encountered a scout with a growth bonus. I killed it in one round using mass haste. On the way, I sent Clavius with a Barbarian-carrying bag, and I chased after Marius. On day 213, the demon attacked on her own, trapped in a corner with +1 speed, tactics, and mass haste, which wiped out almost her entire bag of units, and she didn't manage to escape. Thanks for the game.

Hey guys, is anyone playing in teams? It’s been quiet. Blackpoint (Andrey), we’ve been playing our game for a month now, hopefully we’ll finish it?

I will start severely reprimanding people after the weekend!!!!!!!! And I will ban them from the tournament.

Lomath vs Homini
6th Round Kebazavr (Red, Tower, Nella, Kyrre) def bRitvo4kA (Blue, Stronghold, Gurni, Gurni) 2sm4d(3) 145

My opponent took all the respawns and rushed the start of the game, not letting me choose the correct resource. But I got 2 native heroes. On the first day, 2 Griffin Conservatories were revealed, one on day 3-4, the second not broken into. There's a ГО above and 3 roads to the secondaries, the second Conservatory was only determined on the second day to have 2 angels. I have heroes Ain, Grindan, Kyrre. Also there are 2 Dragon Utopias and 2 Nagabanks. Pre-built Naga in Citadel. On the second day, all this was gathered and on 134 a slag Dragon Utopia was eaten for wings in the underground treasure zone, outside Grindan learns all air behind a hundred hell hounds, there I lost -1 angel, didn't expect that 53 damage would take off the angel at the end. Grindan constantly determines the map by scouting land and air. On 135 I needed to retreat and I asked to hang in the fight, when I came back I crashed and there's no Hamachi either, before that I almost didn't finish Kyrre's entire turn, time ran out, I left. Later I took the Blue castles one by one and on 144 ate a pre-max Dragon Utopia, again slag, when I was hitting it I crashed again, finished the turn to the end, in which I learned the entire 4th level of magic, recorded it because the opponent was offline and I couldn't hit Crag Hack, because the AI would have fought there. We loaded, I hit, passed the turn, after which on 145 I caught the Blue army in a speed battle and after the game they told me that the report would not be confirmed, as there are suspicions of unfair play + a bunch of questions in my PM about the game, why I didn't hit, why I went there, why I didn't take this and that, why I went against a powerful Gurni in terms of parameters and so on in the same vein.... In the end I told the opponent to learn to play better instead of making accusations. I have all the saves, he does too. Let them check and as he said award an AK. Thank you.

7th Round Lomath vs Zharim
Markon (blue, Valeska) def Stinger (red, Bron) 136 8mm6a*Took 2 Dragon Utopias, one from under Artyom's nose, there was КВ and decent stats, then took all the castles by the end of the week, didn't manage a final battle.

Added after 14 hours 50 minutes
8th Round
Lomath vs Eaters of Fried Food

Kebazavr (Red, Dungeon, Shakhti, Shakhti) def Rebellious (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 126

Replay. Started immediately, got 4 external Troglodyte dwellings, a huge respawn. On the adjacent secondary, on the second day, 4 Griffin Conservatories were revealed and I had one at home. Shakhti had expert Armorer and Earth with Slow, as soon as the free stuff gathering began, a wipe happened. Thank you.

Round 13 "Zharim" - "Kontaktnye Nuby"
15.05.10 Piterius (red, Castle, Tyris, Tyris) def Deriel_Linch (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre), WT without experience and tax, 2sm4d(3), 225

Both took all resets, so we play with what we have. The spawn was decent - immediately a Dragon Utopia under the castle, good gold. I move confidently to the secondary town, it turned out to be Necropolis. On the way to it, I took an external dwelling of ghosts for a pack of wood; the dragon helped when breaking through the shooters on the path to Necropolis. On 117 I finally captured it, with another Dragon Utopia under it. Also on 117 I took an external dwelling of Marksmen. Scouting near the Central Area showed an external dwelling of elves near the blue player and a similar scout from that side :). So we see each other's dwellings and approaches to the Central Area, but no castles are visible. At home I built cavalry in the castle, Tyris level 8 with Expert Earth.
121 I build the second floor - immediately Slow! But only 10 mana. From Necropolis I see passages to 2 treasure zones. In the first, I took a Naga Bank and an Imp dwelling and ran into a lot of Greater Psychics; I went to the other one, there I killed 47 Manticores with the loss of a horse for a 4/4 hat and broke through into Necropolis to drink mana potions, took the secondary Beast town. 127 I stand before a pack of Giants guarding a Hive.
131 finally the first 4 Angels. This Dragon Utopia turned out to be not great, just 1 more tree and various junk; I broke through and ran to the Psychics. But I didn't fight them; I bypassed them through the Dread Knights; there was another relic and nothing special, except for an excellent level-up for Tyris. At the swamp respawn I finally reveal a Griffin Conservatory and a passage to a treasure zone, where the Dragon Queen is now. No gold for Angels.
141 +3 Angels. I return to the treasure zone; there are 2 Universes conveniently next to each other; I already have Fly (got the scroll for a pack of Elves back on the first one). Right there I take a Pandora's Box for all Level 5, and immediately a Level 5 hat :D, another relic, a gold mine, breaking through to Necropolis toward the Dragon Utopia - long overdue.
145 - Dragon Utopia of twos; from the useful loot, +5 War Boots and Shield of the Guardian; I immediately break back home, reinforce the army, and stand by the home Dragon Utopia.
146 - Dragon Utopia of threes; Titan's Plate, Book of Fire, and another Shield of the Guardian :). I fly down to the sand treasure zone where blue flags were flashing; another relic on 147, and I Town Portal home preemptively, since I see suspicious white legs on the path to the Central Area.
211 This is it - Kyrre breaks through the Central Area and rushes toward me, stats and artifacts are terrifying, and just a couple of days ago I had plans to fly to the blue player, "tear them apart." In the end I have to beat a retreat, buy back the artifacts and jump to the tree to Expert the last slot - Air. Right then I find a Griffin Conservatory behind a mountain on the swamp respawn; I take it - twos. That's a relief; I have 8 Angels, but Kyrre has significantly more Angels and Unicorns than my equivalents.
212 My home is taken, and for some reason I'm running around the cleared sand treasure zone :(. I find a teleport in it and emerge near the blue player's Dungeon secondary town; I also reveal an unbroken passage - a subway, roughly leading to the snow treasure zone. I pleasantly double my mana at the blue player's and jump to the subway; indeed, snow; Dimension Door up, a relic. Naturally, Kyrre spots me and follows on my heels. From the subway, to my joy, it went down! I realize she has 1 Dimension Door against my 2, but without Pathfinding I move like a turtle; I also visited the Arena and jumped to the blue player's swamp respawn (thought it was a treasure zone :) ). There I scout - I reveal Kyrre, who took a relic and is heading to the secondary town. 217 I Dimension Door to a relic right in front of her nose and Town Portal to the Necropolis secondary town; from there 1 move to home; meanwhile the noobs captured the blue player's main town!
221 I recapture my home, buy back, also buy Rampart growth, and head to the blue player's last secondary town. Kyrre got so carried away with the chase that she completely lost control of events.
224 I leave the blue player without any castles, but Kyrre on her turn recaptures the secondary town. By this time I'm ready for the final fight, except I didn't upgrade the 25 Griffins from Pandora; oh well, it's late, 13 hours of non-stop play.

Tyris level 25, 23-36-36-(300), Leadership, Tactics, Offense, Wisdom, Logistics, Earth, Water, Air.
10 Angels, 62 Wyvern Monarchs, 23 Champions, 69 Crusaders, 87 White Griffins and 25 ordinary Griffins, 149 Marksmen.
Kyrre level 20, 35-22-14-(120), Archery, Wisdom, Logistics, Scouting, Offense, Earth, Advanced Tactics
8 Angels, 53 Wyvern Monarchs, 37 Unicorns, 32 Pegasi, 101 Elves and 60+1 ordinary Centaurs, though I'd have separated the Pegasi for a counterattack since they fly farther :).
Speed +3 for both, both with artifacts for morale/luck. I leisurely set up with Implosion artifact for 3500 in the pocket, almost all magic, but there's the Colossus Axe and the Golden Bow. In the end I placed the Angels at the bottom and they didn't reach the Elves))). I hit the Angels; the remaining 5 kill one of mine and immediately shield their own Elves. After waits, the Elves leave me with 12 Marksmen; I think, just a couple more such shots under Bless or morale and it's over, but I still managed to kill the enemy Angels and block the Elves with mine in the second round. Then Bless/morale sped up the victory; my pendant turned out to be more effective :).

Thanks for the game!

Round 13 of "Roast" - "Contacting Noobs" 05/15/10 Piterius (red, Castle, Tyris, Tyris) defeated Deriel_Linch (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre), no experience and no tax, 2sm4d(3), 225 Confirmed. By turn 117, I took 2 single units, one Elf unit, and one Pegasus unit, plus horses in the Citadel. On the second turn, there were already 15 horses, but there wasn't enough money even for all the Elves. I take 2 Angels with the Scout Kyrre, and with her, for 60+ electric gold, I get a Golden Bow. I go into the Metro - there are Cons(3), a Dungeon, a Portal to the Unknown, and a passage upwards. I go into the Portal, and on the other side, it turns out to be a Sand Treasury... I crawled around there so much... I don't even want to remember it. But I was very lucky that Kyrre got the Pathfinding skill, and she immediately became the main hero. On turn 137, I take the first Utopia (Chupa Chups, +5 to all, +4 to all)... I'm just happy! And then Gosha finds two more standing nearby. I attack and take them... they gave a lot of gold, CZ, KV, +3 to all, +3/3 amulet, and something else useful, but I don't remember what. Scouts take a +2 Cloak, and Kyrre breaks back home - ready for the rush! Yes, by the way, there was an unpleasant moment. I went to break down Kyrre and forgot to remove the shackles. Thanks for the auto-cast (he needed it later too, so I went to kill without any remorse). On turn 212, I take the enemy Castle, and then everything happened as Peter wrote. I miscalculated my strength a little and was punished. I ran around a lot in the end. Thanks for the experience - I really highlighted many points for myself in long games, especially this one: "in a macro game, you need to go to your opponent with full control, otherwise it can turn out like this" (c) Piterius Thanks for the game

Very interesting game :) As they say, we'll learn from our mistakes :)

7th Turn "Roasting" - "Vampires" scorp (blue, Swamp, Tazar) def Kash (red, Conflux, Erdamon, Isra) Mini-Nostalgia, 117 or the second option )) Orange def Kash (red, Conflux, Erdamon, Isra) 114 - overview 115 - orange creeps past the guards straight to the castle 116 - felt sorry for the reds )) 117 - takes the castle and buys birds Thanks for the game )) To Victor, and for the humor to the bot )))

Round 7 "Roasting" - "Vampires"

scorp (blue, Swamp, Tazar) def Kash (red, Conflux, Erdamon, Isra) Mini-Nostalgia, 117

A real player, not a bot. :D
Almost everything is as it should be, anyone but Isra could be the main player. Everyone is a noob, level 2-3, Mashka has a log cabin, she should probably go to her mom's. There was no time to level up, I should have put up some birds. In general, I spent the whole week diligently gathering resources for birds in the fortress. I scraped together everything I could. I only managed to reach one computer. In the middle of the week, the first red player came, I returned my troops and killed him. The second one came on day 116 - I physically couldn't return the remaining troops, so I bought some Psychics to hold the castle. On day 117, I fought off the last groups, merged on two markets, and was 145 coins short for the birds. Time was running out, and I made a completely unnecessary move - the loser took the Psychics to kill the orc log near the castle for the chest, I put up the birds, but there wasn't enough movement to return the Psychics to their place.
Then I thought - forget those 2 birds, I found a hidden stash of angels, I should have put up a Citadel instead. And the second red player was a real pro, he waited until I put up the birds so he could buy them. Well, and against the bought birds, there was no one left to fight, and there was also nothing to use to take the hidden stash of angels. Thanks for the game
