Sevan didn't show up, and today is the 22nd, so I'm writing.

08/22/2010 Furious (red, Tower, Aine, Tyraxor) def. Berkus (blue, Castle, Valeska, Kreg) 145 8mm6

Confirmed.

Where is my opponent?

Albert, your opponent will be someone from the Vortex123-YoshiDo pair. If they don't resolve it by August 29th, the winner of the Furious-Imb pair will be determined.

08/29/2010 YoshiDo (red, Tower, Nella, Septiena) def. Albert@s (blue, Barbarian, Gurnison, Charna) 217 8mm6
Both were leveling up Necromancers and gathered 500+ skeletons each. I attacked his Castle with my entire army; he had the hero Moandor with no stats and an army without Behemoths.
Thanks for the game!

29.08.2010 YoshiDo (red, Tower, Nella, Septienna) def Albert@s (blue, Barbarian, Gurnison, Charna) 217 8mm6
Confirming...opp played without resets, I had a normal draw, mathematically he shouldn't have had a better one than mine, so I didn't take a reset and we started...111- Charna comes and the scout hero picks up a necromancer's amulet at 5% from a wagon, the momma came to the family, the Griffon Conservatory and a home Dragon Utopia are revealed, 12357 in the Castle...121- pre-max gnomes, then another one like that, 122-3 behemoths and 9 birds with meat - I barely get out of the Naga Bank (only 15) - result minus 2 behemoths and 8 birds, plans are ruined...week 3 - building cyclops with their own nika (+7 per week)...week 4 - go to the behemoths and the Griffon Conservatory is trod, Dragon Fly Hive at max, shield +4, sword +2+2, I go to the Dragon Utopia, finally learned Slow through a scholar...Then the opponent arrives, I'm at the Dragon Utopia, I take it...junk...Water Book and Water Orb...here I screwed up (we played from night till morning)...bought up the entire army in the town and didn't leave it, additionally I didn't place scout heroes to slow down the opponent's movement...GG was at the Dragon Utopia with Shackles to break into the capital...I end the turn and immediately realize I lost...Additionally, the opponent attacks the scout in the town and he has an impla at 1500...thanks for the game, it was a pleasure to participate in this tournament, good luck to everyone...

my opponent didn't respond for a week
I don't know what to do.

Well, folks, summer is coming to an end. Shall we carry the tournament into autumn? :) In the upper bracket, we'll assume everything is fine. At least the guys warned me in advance that they would only be able to play after August 30th, and I gave them the go-ahead, as the lower bracket was barely keeping up with them. So, the final of the upper bracket: theShevanesian - тенью бездомной (August 31 - September 5) I think a week is enough time for you. If anything comes up, feel free to reach out. In the lower bracket, unfortunately, there are some technical issues: Vortex123 forfeited against YoshiDo (well, not exactly forfeited: he didn't respond in ICQ or PM, but he was still active on the forum and playing in the season); Imb forfeited against Furious. Imb had a valid reason, and I hope everything is okay now, but we can't wait any longer, sorry. A huge thank you to Albert@s for the games; we need more players who are as conscientious and punctual as him. The semi-final of the lower bracket: YoshiDo - Furious (August 31 - September 5) Good luck to everyone

To be honest, I thought the finals of the brackets would feature completely different players.

Vortex123 skipped a match against YoshiDo (well, he didn't exactly skip it: he didn't respond in ICQ or PM, but he still appeared on the forum and played in the season);

He finally replied in PM with an offer to play on Monday, but... as if on Sunday, the next round's game was already played :smile32:

I've already contacted Furious - ideally, the deadline is approaching for a quick result, as he's leaving on Friday, but we still need to agree...
Albert@s, thanks again for the game! You correctly pointed out that the statistics should have been worse, and it really seemed that way at the beginning, but betting on a Necromancer with good spells in the capital (Mountain Portal and Explosion), very powerful Goblins and Dwarves allowed me to have Titans by the 2nd month, and I also got a lot of Angels. And you also kind of messed up your own...

03.09.2010, тенью бездомной (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def theShevanesian (red, Castle, Tyris) 8mm6, 214

we played on unlim :) because from work, without leaving the production line so to speak

everything was quite sad, but at the end of week 3 we found a Dragon Utopia,
at week 4 another one, while I was taking them and getting a decent stat boost -
the opponent captured my capital,
and on 211 doubled his mana and ran back, having bought almost nothing
that same day Shakti from the stables recaptures the town, buys some stuff and runs after Tyris
takes a village - scouts from there go in all directions - find Tyris near a Dragon Fly Hive,
he takes it and attacks himself

Tyris level 16 (11-13-8-160) mass haste and potion
Shakti level 20 (27-15-10-110) mass haste-slow and all of level 4
two Dragon Utopias and a Pandora's box of level 4 decided it
thanks for the game

Yes, it all started well enough; on the second turn I plugged in angels, but then, no matter how much I ran around, I didn't find a single Dragon Utopia or any worthwhile artifact. On top of that, Tyris was leveling up terribly: no logistics, no earth (though they gave me air), and no attack—they only gave defense at level 15. By the time I reached the opponent, he had boosted his stats significantly thanks to Dragon Utopias, which decided the outcome of the game.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

What, was there really no one else to switch to besides Tyris?

Was there really no one else to switch to besides Tyris?

I thought about it, but I also had a well-developed Isra with not-so-great skills (and one skill slot blocked for advanced necromancy); I freed a level 10 mage from the dungeon, he has earth and fire experience, but I needed combat units. Besides, Tyris's specialization was appealing given the available stock of horses.

Congratulations to shadow of the homeless for being the first finalist in the "Novice-2010. Summer" tournament! Well done!
theShevanesian, welcome to the lower bracket. I hope we'll soon find out the name of your opponent.

YoshiDo and Furious, according to the latest information, started playing on Tuesday, but the connection was lost, and they won't be able to connect before the next Tuesday. They asked for a little delay, and I'm granting it. Guys, don't let me down. On Tuesday, I'll start checking in on you. :)

Yes, that happened – I was kicked out of the game and couldn't connect to the internet, and the game wouldn't launch on its own. I reinstalled the game, but I still don't understand what happened. The internet started working on its own the next day.
So, I'm waiting for Tuesday; Furious promised to return from his trip and jump right into the battle.
So, please be a little patient, and we apologize for the delay.
