Does anyone want to challenge the results?

Berkus, I'm waiting for your reply.

Basically, Medium and I played a game – I lost around turn 111, but he said it wasn't interesting that way and suggested we play a proper game. This happened sometime on Friday. We haven't played since, and I haven't been able to reach him.

Things have piled up, and there's no end in sight, so I'll probably take a break from the battles; I think it will be better for everyone. I'm withdrawing for now.
My apologies to the organizer, and best of luck to SpiriTT in the tournament :smile13:

22.07.10 Pit for LM (red, Rampart, Kairin, Kairin) def Catch (blue, Conflux, random Intei, Dessa), Jebus Cross, 141. Took one restart and started. Generated a decent map. 111 - there's a stable on the road and a tavern next to it. 112 - found a centaur mine, I see a conservatory. Aine with an army is almost reaching the village, there's an elf mine nearby. 113 - Mefala takes the mine, Kairin is standing near Pandora with a group of minotaurs. 114 - Pandora gives 25 high elves - a total of 39, very good. Golems are being upgraded for ranged attack to expert level near the Hive. After that, I decide to attack 60 gold golems for a +5 shield and Pandora for 5000 experience. I find my home town. 115 - a demon hoard of 20, a couple of upgrade buildings, a medusa hoard of 4. 116 - I find a unicorn mine and a conservatory deep in the spawn, I run towards them, along the way +4 wyverns. 117 - a mine, 1 angel, gloves. At home - unicorns with a castle, in the secondary town - elves, very little money. I also took two more dwarf mines. 121 - I rush to the stable and run to the Hive, the Naga Bank, and Pandora, 122 - +4 wyverns, a minimal Naga Bank. 123 - +10000 experience, I rush to the conservatory. 124 - +4 angels, I run to the Guardian. 125 - +4 wyverns, 4 mythical dragons kill an angel, a wyvern, some centaurs, and a few troglodytes out of 40. In the center, behind the angels with a large stack, I take the Sandals of the Saints. 126 - behind the giants with a large stack (7 titans), I take 15 wyvern monarchs in Pandora and 3 angels in the conservatory. The secondary town is a Swamp. Hive for 4 wyverns. 127 - Hive for 6 wyverns, a +6 sword and a sphere of fire, I rush to replenish mana. Kairin finally gets magic in the last slot - earth. 131 - I found a +6 all helmet in the corner of the desert behind archdevils. I visit the stable and run to it. 132 - helmet, Pandora for 10000 gold, I kill a couple of Guardians in the Castle spawn, upgrading earth magic to expert, I rush to the Swamp to replenish mana. 133 - I run through the wilderness to the book of earth and the hat of 5th magic, which I spotted earlier in the first week. Along the way, I take 6 hydras behind the trolls. 134 - I take both artifacts, nearby there's a +4+4 armor, 1 angel, 15 gorgons, and 4 wyverns. I teleport to the Swamp, upgrade wyverns. 135 - a utopia for 2 black dragons, they give junk. Pandora for experience. 136 - I take the second central town - the Tower - with a mage using flight, Kairin teleports there and runs to attack. I reach the capital very successfully and take it, killing Intei with a watchman's shield. 137 - +8 wyverns from the Castle spawn, I'm sitting in the Conflux. 141 - Dessa appears in the desert. I teleport and attack. Dessa has no troops, except for 12 birds with an elixir, she dies in 1 round. Thank you for the game.

22.07.10 Pit for LM (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Catch (blue, Conflux, random Inte, Dessa), Jebus Cross, 141.

It happened. At first, everything seemed fine. There weren't really many might heroes, but Ciele came as the second hero. She leveled up on a bunch of crypts, then took a pack of faerie dragons at 6. And then she had a brain fart... An external dwelling of Phoenixes was revealed, and I decided to take it on the first week, since the birds were spawning in the fort (there were no Air Elementals from the start). I go into the second pack of faerie dragons to take down the dwelling with them. The pack is either 8 or 12. I think 8 should do it and go in, but there are 90 Wasps... Ciele didn't have mana yet... And I lost so stupidly that I didn't even manage to retreat. In the end, no faeries, no dwelling... I hire Dessa in desperation and quickly level him up in the stacks.
On the second week, I take the dwelling, faerie dragon packs, and the Griffin Conservatory. In total, there were 4 Hives at the respawn and one Griffin Conservatory with 3 Angels. But plenty of crypts and 4 Dragon Utopias. On the third week, I take all the Utopias. There's a faint glimmer of hope that the opponent won't come on the third week, so I'll buy everything and 19 Phoenixes might be able to put up some fight. I already saw his weak stacks in the center at the end of the second week. But the hopes were not meant to be fulfilled... Everything ended very quickly. Thanks for the interesting game :)

Elimination Chamber: Round 2
24.07.2010 Kluka (red, Conflux, Monere, Monere) def Piterius (blue, Necropolis, Vidomina, Tamika) Anarchy (12) 141 SoD Unlim

Started without restarts.

Each got 3 castles.
111. Monere takes a pandora for 5K experience with 70 zombies, resulting in expert offense and logistics, basic earth. But then a stack of 30 faeries gets morale and wipes out my 15 :(
112. Captured one village. Nearby is a prison with a level 1 hero behind gremlins. I was afraid to take the faeries (and rightly so, it was a big stack). Should have hired the gnolls, didn't think of it, lost 3 air elementals. Found a passage to my 2nd castle through two 6K-guarded passages (earth elementals and a portal with hogs+golems). Near the third castle, I found an external dwelling of pixies and air elementals (behind magogs).
113. The armies of the two castles merged. Monere broke through the elementals (losses - swamp dweller), hogs (losses - prison dweller and 1 air elemental) and golems; from the other side, Deemer broke through a crowd of gogs for an obelisk. Nearby were boots guarded by 50+ gargoyles, decided it was too early. Monere took tactics instead of expert earth (no spellbook yet).
114. The outlines of the next village are visible. Scrying shows it's exactly under a blue-colored ore mine. But judging by the template, there should be another zone before the village adjacent to blue. Scouting revealed one portal with its guard cleared, probably near my 3rd castle.
115. Monere takes the second village and sits there to replenish mana. On the other road, there's a 3000 guard, leading to one of the opponent's secondary castles.
116. Marking time. Monere expertised tactics without getting expert earth, meaning no expert scrying :( Uland broke through the 3000 guard, then got distracted by a chest, - there was a pendant of the gravedigger :( On blue's turn, Vidomina came there on a centaur and ran into a crowd of goblins guarding a Griffin Conservatory. Earlier she showed zero skills, so she's clearly not the opponent's main hero.
117. I coveted a pile of gold, and was 1 tile short of capturing one of the Necropolises. In the third castle, I build the Mage Guild, and Sanya with 10 faeries breaks through the goblins, visits a well, and kills Vidomina. Blue's Wei kills Sanya, but she managed to destroy 3 vampires.

121. I take the Necropolis. In the tavern are Luna and Vidomina :) Vidomina on her army wipes out liches and orcs, Luna with 86 pixies attacks and accepts the enemy's surrender. After that, there's no money to transport the army. Monere breaks through to the next respawn (medusa-magog elevator), but there's a block of a huge stack of pegasuses guarding a pandora. Turnaround. Finally, expert earth!!!
122. Maxiuley! Losses: 2 water elementals, 3 air elementals, 8 fire elementals. Chain lightning scroll.
123. Finally picked up the boots (even then lost 4 air elementals)
124. Armageddon scroll! Though only 180 damage for now :(
125. Built birds, but was tempted by a chest and didn't bring them to Monere. Result: lost 1 firebird and 1 phoenix. Took an external dwelling of phoenixes, got a cap +4 and a cloak +2 to speed. Was 1 tile short of a Conflux (with a fort).
126. Marking time, captured a level 6 hive (guard - 49 griffins - formed a single stack. -1 wyvern).
Found an elevator to the central treasure zone. Monere sits replenishing mana; forgot to drop the army in the garrison :( Luna, instead of taking 20 pixies from the external dwelling, went towards the opponent with 7 faeries.
127. Again marking time. Luna opened scouting and destroyed 1 of the opponent's scouts; Galtran blocks her path to the village.

131. Scout took a gold mine. Burned 9 of my own fire elementals :( the pandora gave 20 huge griffins, a cloak +2+2
132. Took 20K experience, air spellbook, plate armor +12-3, +1 to speed (on top of existing +2)
Deemer duplicated in the last captured town (also a Conflux). So couldn't use one of the towns. The position wasn't key, so we decided not to interrupt the game.
Tamika takes a Griffin Conservatory on my respawn. Blue's Galtran destroys Luna at the cost of his 3 wyverns.
133. Using flight, the scout took the red orb. Stupidly lost two firebirds to 60 monks :( Monere takes pandoras for the entire 5th level and for 15K experience.
Blue's Roland appears in the central treasure zone from the other side.
134. Pandora with all air elementals. Using a cartographer, I reveal the entire top floor of the map. Scout -1 enemy scout. I'm about to disband to replenish mana and attack Roland, but notice that the central village has no tavern and lvl 1 Mage Guild. I disband to a location from which I can disband into the central village next turn.
Tamika with skeletons enters a zone adjacent to my first starting castle.
Galtran avenges Terek for the scout.
135. Roland moves right through the treasure zone, so the plan changes. The army, using the freed Ignham and the air spellbook, is transferred to the second starting castle; Monere disbands there and thins Roland's army with Armageddon. Roland surrenders.
136. I blundered, wasted a day marking time. Only took the sphere of fire. Surrendered the first starting castle to the opponent. The opponent took my first castle, having an army of huge vampires and 355 skeletons.
137. Dimension Door - well - 2 Dimension Doors - attack Tamika - Armageddon - Tamika surrenders with 85 skeletons.
141. 4 Dimension Doors, destroy Tamika and drive off Roland.
Surrender follows.

Thanks for the game!

Berkus, get in touch. I'll be waiting for an hour.

24.07.2010 Kluka (red, Conflux, Monere, Monere) def Piterius (blue, Necropolis, Vidomina, Tamika) Anarchy (12) 141 SoD Unlimited

...

Thanks for the game!

Been there. A very contact-heavy template. On the third turn with Roland, I misjudged the direction and ended up in the red zone instead of the treasure zone with the Cartographer, upgraded Earth Elementals, and a bunch of Necromancy roaming units eager to be tamed:)
Armageddon had nothing to counter it; I never found control either at home or in Pandora's Boxes.

Thanks for the game.

Elimination Chamber: Round 2

07/25/2010 AYMAN (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Deriel_Linch (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 132

I don’t remember the game anymore, I saved on the third turn, just took the Griffins maxed at 132 and saved. It gave me a clearly better start. On my second turn at my own respawn I immediately checked the Dragon Utopia, and after maxing the Griffins, my plans were for a second Griffin Conservatory in the dungeon and a nearby Dragon Utopia, and then possibly a home Dragon Utopia. But the generator wasn’t kind to Julian, clearly not making him happy.

Deriel_Linch15:08
1) zero gold.
2) the only treasure zone is in the desert.
3) no idea why he upgraded inferno, 40 demons won’t save me here.
3) you have a Dragon Utopia at your respawn (scouting showed it) and that’s at least a buyout.
4) no Dragon Fly Hives or Griffin Conservatories
5) chains are broken
this is a hopeless GG.

Thanks Julian for the game and time !!!!!!!!!!!

Elimination Chamber: Round 2

07/25/2010 AYMAN (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Deriel_Linch (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2c4d(3) 132

Confirmed.
Thank you for your time.

Javdet (blue swamp, Brokh, Brokh) def Berkuz (red barbarian, Kreg, Kreg) 8mm6a 131 VaTa under SOD

jumped back. gnarled general and block to the center, building a so-so, then 6 vivs there as well. Kreg met him, but a buyout, resource switch, and an attack - better stats and more damage.

thanks for the game.

Javdet (blue swamp, Brokh, Brokh) def Berkuss (red barbarian, Kreg, Kreg) 8mm6a 131 VaTa under SOD

Thank you for the game.

Confirmed. Thank you for the game.
