Posts from SELECTION for FB-4

Let's all go, don't be scared...
You shouldn't have lost the game.

Answering Wlk777's question. Let's refer to the regulations. It states:

In case of a tie in points, the following order will be applied:
1. Berger Coefficient
2. Head-to-head result
3. Date of the last game.
4. Coin toss in the WT chat.

Your question involves comparing.
1) Berger Coefficient - identical.
2) Head-to-head result - a tie (round-robin with three players).
3) Date of the last game. This means that the player who played earlier advances.
Based on this, the ranking will be determined, and it's not a complicated process. If zloy_romantik also had their last game...
But in general, it's too early to draw conclusions. For this situation to be possible, romantik still needs to win 2 more games. So, let's see.
In general, this is a preliminary decision, according to the regulations.
By groups.
Group A
Everyone has a valid result, except for Vigo - please inform us about your further plans for the tournament.
Group B
Everyone gets 5 points.
Keep playing, comrades, and keep it up.
Group C
Also ahead of schedule, everyone gets 5 points.
You're on fire, comrades! This round-robin could get interesting....
Group D
Hmm...
P.Alexei - 5 points
Hermit - valid result
The rest - not good, invalid result!
Erdem - please inform us about your further plans for the tournament.

SpiriTT - what do you mean by "date of the last game"? Does playing earlier mean it's better? Or, like in the old days of competitive chess, does a later game have an advantage in case of a tie? Please explain, because what's obvious to you might not be obvious to others. If it's the first option, then everything is clear in our group regarding who advances; the only thing unclear is who will advance from which position (this will be decided in the remaining games of the other participants).

Erdem - please provide an update on the tournament plans.

We have confirmed Hermit's participation. I commit to playing all games on time.

The sooner the games are played, the better. The sooner a player completes ALL their games, the better it is for them (with the same score, the player who finishes earlier will rank higher).
Erdem, act quickly, good luck!

The sooner the games are played, the better. The sooner a player completes ALL their games, the better it is for them (with the same score, the one who finishes earlier will rank higher).

I'm trying to be the first in the group!

I've messaged everyone in my group several times, but some people never appear online, and others keep postponing, so we haven't even managed to finish all the games in one group yet.

Group D
I'm waiting for your reaction to the Hardcore+ post.

It happened. Got complacent with a chocolate layout (about 40 Wyverns from 5 hives, 6 angels from 3 cons, a teapot in a home mini Dragon Utopia) and with 131 went to the center, ignoring 2 more home Dragon Utopias, one of which had a cape — salvation from the opponent's imp on 2K+ :)
Thanks for the game!

Hermit(blue, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Erdem(red, castle, Valeska, Galtran) 8mm6a 215

Things were going pretty well. On the first turn, I attacked with a hydra in the castle. On the second turn, I got a secondary Necropolis (green), and my opponent also had a brown Necropolis, two Hives, and on turn 131, with an increase in resources, he took a Utopia. There, the only bonus was +3 to knowledge, but also a Speaker's Hat!!! With the money from the Utopia, I upgraded the hydras. Tazar had exactly 25 mana left after the Utopia. He sped up with a Fly unit to capture Erdem's Necropolis on the next turn and continue his advance; after all, he has an explosion ability, but it seemed like my opponent realized something was wrong and built a Veil of Shadows, and I was stopped. I had to struggle to reveal the area again with a scout, and only after a few days, when it was revealed, did I capture the red Necropolis... It turned out that I wasn't wrong to rush, because my opponent's main hero was Galtran, with stats similar to mine. Carefully using ranged units, I captured his capital, losing 4 Wyverns to a Cyclops on turn 8, and this was with Tazar!!! I missed out on capturing Tyraxor with his entire army, who had taken the Utopia in the Swamp Treasury, and continued on to Gosh. I could have locked him at the entrance to the Underground and caught him in the swamp with expert logistics and a purely swamp army, but I chased after him to kill Erdem... :( Along the way, I received an increase in resources from my capital, and my army in the tavern was already larger than my opponent's. I caught up with Galtran near the conjunction village with 10 mana. I took a cloak +2 to speed with a scout and attacked. It didn't even come to an explosion. My opponent bought his way out with 150 skeletons, Wyverns, and Angels... I took a Hive, a shield +3 to attack and defense, and a Wanderer's Ring. By the way, I know a tactic at the expert level, but the troops are not placed, and the battle starts immediately. Because of this, I lost troops to my opponent's scout units and in the battle with ranged units... Next, I planned to pursue Gosh, but the scout found a Hive and a Utopia, and there were two more nearby, and I took all three directly on the fourth week. Then I ran to Gosh and, with some effort, killed him. If I had known about Armageddon, I would have put on a cloak right away... that's what I should have done, but many troops died from Armageddon, and then Gosh, attacking many times, tried to kill my troops with ranged units. But it didn't help. Tazar killed all of Erdem, Galtran, and on the next turn, my opponent had no more cities left, and the last red hero, Tyraxor, attacked a village with a single Griffin... I killed him too. There are 4 more campaigns left, but I'll finish them later...     Thank you for the game.

That's how it was. I took all my unplayable respawns; the game penalized me severely in terms of money, but I found Gosha in the tavern. In round 1, I killed a brown necromancer; at home, I only had enough for level 1-4 creatures in the citadel. :( In round 2, things were bleak; I just kept spawning skeletons on my native respawn and earning money to somehow get out of this crisis. I took an external dwelling of angels with ransom. At home, I could only add horses without a castle… It’s so sad. I was already going to give up, but I decided to resist. In week 3, I scouted a way out of the metro into the swamp; there is a Dragon Utopia near the elven throne, but I don't have anything to take it yet. Gosha went to the teleport to spawn skeletons, set up a chain, and then guests arrived led by Tazar. I lost my necropolis; during the battles, I managed to preserve the chain using pawns. Then I lose my capital, take a necropolis village in the metro, and after 2-3 days, using the chain, the pawn takes the swamp utopia (mini: lion shield, sword +2+2). In week 4, Tazar doesn't quite reach me; I lead my company along the chain to Gosha, who takes several hives in the metro. After 2 days, Tazar catches up; I had no mana, and as a result, we exchanged 7 vivs from Tazar for 250 skeletons, and I bought myself out. Ransom at the necropolis village, hive, and utopia mini with a pawn (fire book with enhancement), Pandora for 10k experience, external dwelling of necro-horses, nagashnik mini. At 212, Tazar jumps out with stats twice as high and attacks. Immediately, an implant flies into him for 2k while I have 35 vivs left; there are 7 remaining. Here, I make a mistake and don’t immediately cast antimagic on 300+ skeletons but restore 10 vivs. :smile22: In the second round, the opponent launches an attack; I treat an armageddon for 1k, leaving me with a handful of skeletons, and he has 30 lizards, 11 vivs, and 5 chaos hydras. I buy myself out. :( Tazar doesn't reach the necropolis village and gets caught in a hit-and-run. Gosha does a hit-and-run (the opponent is already wearing a cloak of resistance) several times with an arrow for 230 (it's a pity that there was no lightning; otherwise, I would have exhausted his entire army), leaving Tazar with 5 chaos hydras. After that, further resistance was useless… :smile15: Thank you, Vladimir, for the game! I will be studying this pattern! :)

Everything is good, except for Vigo - please provide updates on further plans for the tournament.[/COLOR]

I'm back from my business trip, I'm ready to play, contact me, and we'll agree on a time.

I confirm. 3rd defeat in a row this season, very disappointing; I found one three-dragon Utopia, there were every chance to help with Town Portal and Boots of the Dead, but Gosha got closer than 6 centimeters to the track and blew his cover + the whole operation was busted... :smile34: That's it, enough night sessions for me 2 nights in a row, my entire schedule is messed up, I'll go relax somewhere by the sea... Taking a heroic vacation. Thanks for the game! :)
