28.07.2010 theShevanesian(blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) - SpiriTT(red, Castle, Valeska, Alkin) 8MM6a 136

The respawn was decent, an external dwelling of elves under the castle - we play. Plus green also has Rampart. Got lost in the topography, only found green on 124. At the end of the second 123456 in the castle in both castles and an external dwelling of uniques on green's respawn. On 132 I take the Griffin Conservatory on day 3, run to grab two more when suddenly red jumps in with what seems like a so-so army... As a result, on 136 I take another Griffin Conservatory on day 2 and attack... In terms of stats, I'm a bit worse, with the problem of having less mana - 16 vs 46, but 69 elves instead. And then my luck began:
1. The opponent didn't fly to hit the elves on the first turn;
2. Morale triggered regularly for me, for the opponent - almost never;

Overall, with difficulty, but I won. You could say it was due to luck. Thanks to Spirit for an interesting game!

The round ends on Sunday. Please report on the progress of the games and any problems with your opponent (if any).

I request the opportunity to finish the match with Pradromalo. I didn't avoid playing; I even adjusted to my opponent's schedule. But as soon as I needed to leave for 3 days, I was immediately removed from the tournament without explanation, even though my opponent was aware of my departure.
On July 31st and August 1st, there was still no response to my request to finish the game.

But as soon as I had to leave urgently for 3 days, I was immediately removed from the tournament without any explanation. My opponent was aware of my departure.

Pit for LM (red, Stronghold, Kreg, Gurnisson) def Javdet (blue, Castle, Valeska, Tant), 2sm4d(3), 131.
My opponent chose all restarts; I got a significantly better starting position.
111 - From the observation tower, I see my starting area: 2 conservatories, an outer market, a Hive, a stable, and 2 fast roads leading to secondary locations, plus some hidden spots below. Gold is average. 112 - The hidden spot turns out to be a monster lair. 113 - I scout another Hive and 2 Orcish hidden spots. I foolishly throw all my goblins at the 20-49 Gnomes, too lazy to pick off the single units... But I buy Gurnisson and decide not to take the last restart after all. For the rest of the week, I hang out in my starting area, upgrade expert artillery, and take a hidden spot on day 117. Build order: bears + orcs in the Stronghold, all resources are sold at the outer market.
121 - Naga bank of 3 (Kreg), both conservatories are very large. 122 - Naga bank of 3 (Gurnisson), a secondary Tower, a medusa stockpile of 8. Gurnisson learns expert earth magic. 123 - Astral projection reveals a gnome stockpile of 10. 124 - Astral projection reveals a stockpile of 15, a secondary Dungeon. 125 - Another naga bank of 3, mana doubling, monster upgrade, Kreg with them runs towards the Hive. 126 - A couple of skirmishes, I learn Shield and Stone Skin, Kreg - +8 Wyverns, Pepelina - another +4 Wyverns. 127 - +7 Angels from the two conservatories, I stand near the Guardian.
131 - I kill the triple Guardian (20 green + 7 gold dragons, 27 Hydras + 5 Chaos Hydras, and 41 Naga Queens), they put up a good fight, leaving behind monsters (6), angels (6), and a few Wyverns and Rocs. I reach the Castle, where Tant is sitting with an army. The angels quickly kill everyone.
Thanks for the game.
