Posts from "Rookie-2010. Summer"

I'm not really an online fighter, but that's just for now... I learn quickly, and I'll get my revenge in the Finals!

I believe in you!))) =) Let's go back to the good old days!!))

YoshiDo (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def shadow of the homeless (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 1-2-4 I took all the restarts, and it gave me a very strong start: 3 stacks of skeletons and not far from the castle, 3 resource nodes guarded by gnomes, ogres, and lizardmen. I took them with several heroes. In one direction, the road was blocked by many rakshasas, so I didn't go there right away. In another direction, there was a horde of archers; I went in the third direction, and not far from the road, there was a portal to the outside. I came out, but I couldn't find a secondary castle yet, and the road in the dungeon led to the main guard. In the first week, I had 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 in the stronghold. In the second week, I break through to the dirt and see red mines. I keep secondary heroes for reinforcements and make my way deeper into his territory. In one turn, he attacks. In a very difficult battle, a small core of my soldiers survives. I move on and see his capital with only a stronghold. In the next turn, I attack, bringing everything I have left, and I win. Thank you for the game!

GG
Well... he didn't exactly shine, either in the group or in this game. :)
Of course, it was his first online game playing Dungeon, with only one stack for Shakti, etc. :)
But he played poorly, no matter how you look at it. :(

Thank you to the whole group for the games.
Good luck.

25.05.2010, Vortex123 (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala) def. Albert@s (red, Castle, Valeska, Kirr) 2SM4d(3), 127
There's not much to describe; the generator won.
Thanks for the game.
Yes, there was a battle near Poltava... On turn 111, I see the usual plains landscape with a couple of crypts and several chests, 5 heroes, among whom I find Kirr... I decide to play. On turn 113, I fight 49 golems and see the blue heroes; I'm on the opponent's respawn point. I don't want to take a rest after meeting them, so I run away to the top with Kirr, fighting a hundred centaurs (I thought I could break through to the secondary resource, develop, and control the breached area), but I run into a block of Unified, and there are no more roads anywhere... I could have entered the opponent's respawn point on turns 115 and 116 with 2 units and provoked a rest on turn 116, but, after thinking about it, I decided not to do that and to finish the game as it is... The result: on week 2, 500 gold in the citadel, everything is cleared, not a single extra gold coin, and there's nowhere to get them from... The opponent comes to me, I surrender all resources, build a castle, and it's an easy victory for blue, thanks for the game...
P.S. I was surprised to see that on turn 121, you were still using unupgraded elves...

05/28/2010 KEKC (red, swamp, Wistan, Wistan) def. magamet (blue, Castle, Valeska, Orrin) 2SM4d(3) 142
In the first week, I found a secondary swamp.
As a result, I built 12346+Stronghold in my main castle and 1236+Stronghold in the secondary one.
In the second week, I took a conservatory near the secondary castle for 1 angel.
I checked the underground, but the defense was too strong.
I checked the portal and ended up in the Treasury, where there was a whole line of Hive castles.
While I was exploring, I completely forgot about building castles, and as a result, only Basilisks were added to the secondary castle.
But I already have about 30 Vivs.
In the 3rd week, I decided to take a Utopia on my main land. While I was returning, it became day 141.
As a result, I built a castle in both swamps.
I still haven't built a Gargoyle, I focused on Vivs.
I took a Utopia for 3 Black Dragons on day 141, and I got a +5 sword to everything, a Titan's Sword, and a Book of Earth (but magic is only developed to the first level). I was going to attack the Great Owl (35 + 5 Greyd Devils), but I didn't have time. While I was transferring troops, the time ran out. Then I thought that if I had taken the opponent's castle, I would have violated the red-rush rule, so it's actually good that I didn't have time to transfer them =)
On day 142, I sent the Devils to the Underworld, although they did take a couple of souls.
With the same move, I captured the opponent's capital with unredeemed troops.
Then came the surrender.
Thanks for the game

05/28/2010 KEKS (red, swamp, Wistan, Wistan) def magamet (blue, castle, Waleska, Orrin) template? date?

Confirmed!

05/28/2010 KEKS (red, swamp, Wistan, Wistan) def magamet (blue, Fortress, Valeska, Orrin)

Took a Utopia with 3 black dragons on level 141, received a +5 sword to all stats, a Titan Sword, and a Book of Earth (still, magic is only developed to the first level). Thanks for the game.

You can use magic from the Books of Elements without building a Guild.

Rookie Tournament, Week Two
or Three Weeks Until the Playoffs
a brief report

Group A

Almost everyone is still in the game. Vegtam solemnly promised that he will soon finalize the schedule and start scheduling games; we have to believe him. Yourdestiny and Prorock are catching up with bijho and Weber, while Shamanenok can already relax a bit. Bravo! 4 wins guarantee a place in the playoffs. The guys still have to fight for second and third place, and everyone has a chance. Good luck!

Group B

Something isn't working out here yet. There are no complaints about Basir777; he has already started his fourth game. I recommend that the others think about it: you have played 1 game in 2 weeks. Are you sure you can play the remaining 4 games in 3 weeks? Keep in mind: I rarely award technical wins (like: I was trying to contact my opponent for 3 days before the deadline, and he refused to play); more often, I award a technical loss to both.
Antrekott did not confirm the game with Basir. Are there any problems? If not, then oh dear.
Sin has been replaced by Furious. Good luck!

Group C

Uff... We made some noise in this group, but more on that below.
ten'yu bezdomnoy, thank you for your promptness. He has already finished playing, well done. And by the way, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. 3 points is not a bad result, especially since three, or even four, players advance from the group. I think this is a good chance to make the playoffs, but we'll see :)
Dutin, catch up with the guys. The others seem to be following the plan. Good luck!

Group D

I'm so happy with you :) Only 4 games left
TunguS, congratulations again on making the playoffs. You're on fire, Belarus!
Albert@s - it is very likely that he also made it. But for now, I will refrain from congratulating him and will not guess who will get which place.
magamet', unfortunately, the playoffs are not in the cards for you, but the other three are quite capable of competing for a spot.
And most importantly... No one needs to be highlighted in red. Well done. :) Good luck!

Group E

For now, Imb is leading, which is not surprising. However, there was a setback, which means the intrigue is still there :)
theShevanesian, drunkenstein, Alexxl - I'm grumbling a little: one game in two weeks is not enough; catch up.
DC has been replaced by ds281. Good luck!

Instead of P.S. Event of the Week

The result of the game Zadira-YoshiDo is annulled
Some people are already aware of the details, while others are not. Just in case, I will briefly describe the situation and explain the decision. A little background. Player YoshiDo violated the rules by performing a 141-turn rush, after which he admitted defeat and refused the offered autosave. Both players behaved like gentlemen, which I was sincerely glad about.

Then, while reviewing the saves, YoshiDo noticed something strange. Namely: save 131 could not lead to save 133, no matter what. I will not go into details, but for example, in save 131, a pile of gold was picked up, which reappeared in save 133. Save 132 was missing; between saves 131 and 133, the players took a 2-day break, i.e., from May 21 to May 23. YoshiDo contacted me and his opponent with these saves to clarify.

I analyzed the saves of both sides down to the smallest detail, plus the guys from the contact group helped with their assumptions, and we found out:
Zadira made save 132 during his opponent's turn; of course, it turned out to be incorrect, and they started playing again after the break.
There can be no doubt about Zadira's fair play. There was a mistake. It turned out that he didn't even know that you can't make saves during your opponent's turn. Maybe this is obvious to you, but indeed, it is not written anywhere... I can't blame him for anything, but I can't credit such an unclear game either.

I believe that a replay will be the most logical solution, and the guys seem to agree. Moreover, they are both quite real contenders for 1st or 2nd place in the group. I wish them both a worthy fight and a fair match to determine who is stronger. At the same time, maybe you will reconcile :) And let your mistakes be a lesson to you.

Once again, good luck to everyone, and may the odds be ever in your favor. GL/HF

Lock tar ogar! Yoshido, where are you? It's been 3 days, and you're still hiding. Come out, you coward!!!

28.05.2010 Furious(red, Castle, Valeska) def Basir777(blue, Rampart, Kyrre) 2SM4d(3) 145 played BT
used all restarts plus a couple due to an early encounter etc
started at 2 hours
on the first week 1-6 in the Citadel except monks
on the second I took the minimum and the third, got Earth and smashed 3 guilds to level 2, but Slow never dropped, because of that I didn't have enough resources for angels
on the 3rd a couple more cans, ended up with 8, placed a portal (didn't make it for the 2nd because I had 0 mercury, damn) and rebuilt the guild and finally got the desired Slow)
went for the Dragon Utopia as late as 141 because it was very far away, the damn thing, and didn't really get anything worthwhile
on 143 broke through the GO, opponent surrendered when he saw my army
14 angels probably killed his without losses))
Valeska 18(17,23,4,5) Archery Tactics Earth Air Logistics Defense Leadership Expert, artifacts on attack and defense and Golden Bow
14 angels 15 fanatics 17 crusaders 13 champions, 48 griffins 88 archers and a stack of halberdiers

Thanks for the game, good luck in the future)

Ready to play a match in the playoffs!

Kash! ..thank you for your humanity, understanding, patience, and for the time and attention you’ve given. I wish I had more opponents like you :rolleyes:

YoshiDo where are you? You’ve been “toning up” for 3 days now, come out...

I’m playing, not just talking. I’ve already finished my 4th game, and you’ve only played two, one of which was annulled. Yes, I put you on ignore for 2 days (you know why), but why panic and stir up trouble? You have FOUR opponents.
P.S. Okay, enough of this BANTER, send me a message on ICQ, I’m ready to fight today (not on ICQ, of course, but on 2sm4d(3) :smile13: ).

Vortex123!!! Join Hamachi, let's play. My ICQ account has been hacked, and I can't log in there anymore.

hey... where are all the opponents?
begich, I only see you online, but I'm writing and there's no response... did they hack your ICQ too?

I've been trying all week to play with someone from my group, but unfortunately, it hasn't worked out. I only managed to start a game with Buulgen, and even that has been going on for five days now...
