Posts from "Rookie-2010. Summer"

KEKS, can we play together tonight? Or when? I'm in Hamachi, KEKS1234, password 1. Write here or in a private message. I'd like to play sometime this week; I might not have free time next week.

Like a homeless shadow, your opponent is KEK. Good luck.

Guys, I'm sorry, but I can't wait any longer.
I also don't want to award the victory based on the save from turn 117.

Attention: a slight change in the deadline for the second round
Both brackets are due by July 31st
This is all I can do for you.

theShevanesian, hello, I'm having some issues with ICQ, let's connect here or contact Agent Freeman_1980@inbox.ru.

23.07.2010, theShevanesian(blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Sevan_80(red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 8mm6 214

The starting position was decent — I found an external dwelling of Gorgons and Basilisk on the big respawn, and a Griffin Conservatory (turned out to be on 3). Not a lot of gold; on the first week I focused on finances and development, defeated the nearest computer, 123456 in the castle. On the second week I take both external dwellings, explore adjacent territories — still unclear where the red player is. On the third week the Griffin Conservatory, Gorgons already over 20, took max Dragon Fly Hives with a scout hero — moving forward to search. I wandered for a long time — the computers, as luck would have it, didn't reveal themselves much until the fifth week, no mines visible; I took a Dragon Utopia (valuable loot — gold and a Helmet of Knowledge), gathered some Dragon Fly Hives, leveled up. Then I finally figured out where to go and headed there. Week 147 was a Plague week — we decided not to replay. Finally on 212 I reach red's respawn, on my turn on 214 I attack the castle... 40 Wights decided the outcome of the battle. Thanks for the game!

Confirmed, thank you for the game.

Berkus (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def drunkenstein (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 8mm6 214

Started without restarts.
First week. Near the castle, there is a stable and boots (taken on the second day), 3 labyrinths (minotaurs taken), the hero is developing well (logistics, earth), 1 street, 23456 creatures, and a castle are built.
In the second-third week, I gathered 3 conservatories, a total of 4 angels.
The fourth week brought three utopias 1,1,3 (medal of vulnerability, book of earth, boots+2, shield 12-3, hat of the orator). After collecting the artifacts, I head home to double the points.
In the last few days, I take the opponent's secondary town and head to the main one (earth sight helped). Along the way, I take a utopia, and in the 214th encounter, I meet the red hero bringing reinforcements. After that, the opponent surrenders.
Thank you for the game.

Guys, the round ends tomorrow. You seem to have lost some enthusiasm. Please write to me on ICQ if you have any problems, unfinished games, missing opponents, or other issues.

Since the top bracket has reported all their issues and problems – fine, have it your way. I hope an extra 3 days will help you finish playing. I am extending the deadline for the second round of the playoffs
to August 3rd
The reasons are indeed valid, but KEKSu with the Shadowless team got the luckiest: after reaching 141, they encountered a bug with the AI. This bug could have been fixed by the organizer if the host had initially set the correct settings instead of 2-6-0-0. As a reminder for the future: when playing against AI, the map settings should be: 8-0-0-0

Bottom bracket, is anyone there?

Albert@s(red, Tower, Aen, Korbac) def Furios(blue, Conflux, Grindan, Gunnar) 8mm6, 143
Korbac(10-17-5-5) - Gunnar(13-7-6-4)
We went through all possible rests...played without rests, it was tedious...111 - 5 heroes, no daddies and mommies yet... 112 - behind 17 demons a prison, in which Korbac was sulking with expert Logistics, expert Armorer, and beginner Pathfinding...it's hot...I see a niche of nagas and giants, one Griffin Conservatory(3), took a few crypts and collected some cash, 12346 in the Citadel...no gems, for the life of me...127 - niche of nagas, I take the mini Griffin Conservatory...return home, where there's already a Castle and a Capitol...132 - Griffin Conservatory 3, return home, and forward into the unknown...141 niche of giants(I didn't build in the Castle - no gems, and exchanging resources while playing as Tower is not my style...) I dive into the Dungeon, immediately take the Griffin Conservatory 2, the next turn I see the opponent, who broke through the guard of the Dragon Fly Hive but didn't manage to take it...I decide to attack - 6 angels, 1 master genie, 1 mage, 19 core nagas, about 100 gremlins, expert protection, earth, water...13 spell points(mage rules)...He has - 9 phoenixes, about 90 ice spirits, 20 air elementals(stacks and singles)...tactics...He casts mass slow on me, I wait, then expert healing and move to him(I don't reach)...Round 2 - he hits my angels with phoenixes(-1), in response (-2), mass slow, I endure a direct arrow shot(-2 angels), the genie casts precision on the nagas, I hit the phoenixes with angels, heal my army. I approach with nagas and with luck kill the phoenixes(and I would have had enough without it)...Haste on the nagas, breaking through the air elemental shield with angels, and the nagas hit the ice spirits(-25 immediately), the opponent surrenders...thanks for the game, who's next?

Albert@s (red, Tower, Aen, Crobakh) def Furios (blue, Conflux, Grindan, Gunnar) 8mm6, 143
Crobakh(10-17-5-5) - Gunnar(13-7-6-4)

on the first map 3 Ice Nymphs
121 55 water elementals but zero effect
neither on my spawn nor the enemy's, in 2 treasure sites and a zone leading out absolutely nothing!!
not a single Griffin Conservatory, Dwarf Cottage, Naga 1 mini Dragon Fly Hive, 1 mini Crypt, and 1 Medusa Storage for 20
wanted to break through to the opponent right away on the second map, but a block of fire elemental horde (guarding dead man's boots no one needed) made me change my mind
because of that I spent the 2nd and 3rd week running around those 5 respawns and still found nothing
gold 0, so in the final battle there was nothing but water elementals and birds (in the Castle all the army starting from week 1 stayed in the Citadel)
19 Nagas decided the fight with 1 strike))(couldn't get a decent shot at them)
thanks for the game...
maybe we'll play again))

Imb (Red, Castle, Valeska, Marius) def YoshiDo (Blue, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 8mm6 133
Slow roads.

Week 1: Since the template is 8mm6 and without Logistics there’s no way to go anywhere, I took Marius into the mama. I took three crypts, external dwellings of archers and swordsmen, killed the computer, but didn’t reach the Castle. Marius level 8 — the best skills (Logistics, Defense, Earth). At home, Cavalry with a Citadel.

Week 2: Killed the computer, busted back home, took the Griffin Conservatory 3 in one day and the Griffin Conservatory 1 with a scout hero (both without losses). Took a cloak +2 to speed and went to the center. There, a passage to the subway is broken through. The opponent came out with a scout hero from the subway with a small army and was moving the other way along the road, but upon seeing Marius returned back. (No need to consult a fortune teller here — it became clear where Dessa was :))
I attack — the opponent buys troops, so the question of what to buy is settled.

Week 3: I run to the opponent through the subway, passed the growth via chain, but didn’t buy it all in one day — wanted to bring it tomorrow, but a scout hero Gurney kills one link of my chain, and I fail to deliver the other 7 Crusaders :(. Soon I reached the opponent’s capital and attack — I kill.

Thanks for the game on an interesting template!

I didn't like the map. I lost ground even earlier, and now the situation is much worse. Thanks for the game.

Looks like today is the last day of the tour, and we haven't even started...

08/03/2010, shadow of the homeless (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def KEKC (red, Fortress, Vistan) 2SM4d(3), 133
Double Dungeon, I buy items and with expert scouting and haste, I go to the swamp, I kill the monster...
Vistan loses on his turn
Thanks for the game, i.e., for the games :)

We apologize for taking so long to play.
