29.08.2010, Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vigo (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Verdish/Kyrre) jebus 131
On the first week - after all my restarts, I got 2 stacks of Troglodytes and couldn't leave the Main even a step, because up to 10 Greater Ifrits blocked the exit from the City for some piece of junk (+1 to Spell Power). Well, nothing to do, I skipped 1 turn, on the second day I bought 7 Evil Eyes, couldn't take troops from a non-native scout hero, and went with my native troops against 8 of them. I had to sacrifice 7 Evil Eyes to exhaustion, only 70+ Troglodytes survived, and I went to collect gold. An external dwelling Manticore was spawned, I went there, took it, took a Mine, took a Stronghold village. I placed Manticores in the Citadel and their Portal. I didn't take any more external dwellings (there were 2 Troglodyte, 1 Evil Eye).
On the second week - I captured Gauntlets, Libraries, a Mini-Griffin Conservatory, with just 120+ Evil Eyes and a Greater Stack I took the Book of Earth, doubled my Mana and went with 160 Mana into a Level-2 Dragon Utopia (Sword of the Frozen and Oracle's Hat), went to the Center, with up to 100+ Units with a Greater stack, took the +4+4 Hat, the Central Castle, a couple of Hives, a Level-3 Dragon Utopia (Red Ball, Crystal of Earth, Orb of the Firmament), Town Portal to Main for Mana. On 131, Kyrre and Verdish entered my strike zone with troops. I took 2 Cats from an external dwelling, an army from a scout hero who had arrived at the Tavern, Town Portal to Central, attacked the scout hero who had the entire army nearby, also in the strike zone of Kyrre on Dragons (though who knows, a hefty scout hero level 30), Vitya concedes victory.
Thanks Vitya for an interesting game!
That's right, a great game was played. I got to the center in time it seems, everything was going well, but it's tough against КЗ of course.
Thanks Pasha for the game, good luck in the tournament.
In the first week, I had horses in the castle and hidden elves. In the second week, I built a second castle, with angels in the castle, dragons in the main castle, 2 hidden dragon stacks, a hidden horse stack, and a hidden elf stack. I summoned 3 horses and took all the magic on level 4 in Pandoria. In the third week, I got a +6 all stat hat and a hat with all level 5 skills. In the end, in the fourth week, I had 86 elves, 22 united, 16 angels, and 14 non-ultimate dragons, plus meat. I went to the center, and it was already empty. I took the school, the Sword of the Cladenetz, and flew to my opponent's Inferno, where there were 9 devils, 300 blue little guys, and some other creatures. I was shocked by the artifacts that caused bad luck, slow, and curse on everyone, and didn't allow me to cast spells, but with such an army, it's a sin to lose. Thanks for the game.
So it happened, we took a restart, no objective resets were given and off we went... On the respawn there were 5 external dwellings of caps, one of mages - I already sense an ambush, scouting showed there are no Griffin Conservatories at all. Alright, we push through thorns - I grabbed all 5 blue external dwellings, gathered the army, first reclaimed the mages' external dwelling from a horde of golems (a good horde it was, nice chunk of experience:)), in the pile I took Fior because Pathfinding was given right away. Adding a couple of freshly built nagas, I broke a horde of demons for a Pandora's box +10k experience, fat - papa with Earth and Tactics, which is the most important thing for a cap carrier on SoD (immunity to morale of swiftoids in the first round):D I broke the guard of a clue and spent the night in it. 121 - 5 nagas, golems and gargoyles destroy a Hive in no time, then a second, third... all small, I even felt a bit sorry leaving papa for the last Hive - I broke it in the Dungeon, gave the army to Ciele, she into the Hive, and there it's max... well stocked up on fat, harpies and golems were just devoured completely. Nothing left to do on the respawn (Dragon Utopia for backup), papa leveled up Earth, grabbed Archery and rushed to the center... And there it's either a pack of Arch Devils, or a stack of Giants. I don't have enough cover for the Arch Devils (golems and gargoyles have already passed), I go for the hometown Castle guys in helmets, of course with an upgrade - a whole 5 of them. I cursed them out properly, but broke them, sacrificing a pack of mages, a few Vives and 1 naga. I emerged into the center but I'm uneasy, mana is low, any moment Kir might come (Rampart is easier with Breach), but no guests and the center is successfully cleared. By the end of week 2 though I only grabbed Inferno, a gold mine and a bag +1000. 131 - I bring up the meat, take the КЗ from a good stack of green Drakes (Tactics saves the day), with its help I practically break Dragon Utopias with caps, first a mini one - Admiral's Hat, then a tier three (it was bloody, spell power a bit low for a good Resurrection and Vives slashed significantly) - two helmets +4\4 and +12. From Pandora's boxes they give either experience, or a bit of meat (just enough for the home Dragon Utopia - wings), in the end from meat I only have a stack of caps, and from three Dragon Utopias I got a Ring of the Magi, assembled the Admiral's Hat and it dumped Legion parts... So I cleared out the center, as you do:rolleyes: Papa dashes around the center like crazy (saw all parts of Armor of the Damned and a Chupa-chups), barely managed to grab everything and claim 3 external Devil dwellings with a build in Inferno, from the home Dragon Utopia I just upgraded them and only reclaimed the last helmet for the Armor when Kirya pops out, grabs Inferno, and even manages to take the sword +12 with Dimension Door. I take Inferno back, build a Castle, equip Armor of the Damned and Chupa... The elf's stats are 2.5-3 times higher (this is without Dragon Utopias... the hat, the sword and everything were the serious artifacts), 16 Angels, 14 Drakes - I feel I can't pull it off, and that's what happened, morale and luck avoided caps and devils, by the time the Drakes stormed the Castle I only managed to halve them, then the Angels showed up and even breaking the catapult didn't help, too much meat (2 external Dragon dwellings and 4 Griffin Conservatories with Castle rebuilding are much stronger anyway:D), and gathering the army was pointless - Kir with Dimension Door would catch me anywhere (there were also Shackles of War).
vitalic (red, Castle, Valeska) def. Blackpoint (blue, Dungeon, Shahti) Jebus 134
Gathered 28 archers on the first day and went into battle. There's a hidden stash of angels; I bought Gundula, and there are possibilities. On day 112, I saw the Guardian and got discouraged; there were more than 100 wizards and up to 99 Death Knights, but there's still a hidden stash of angels and a hidden stash of horses. On day 113, a conserve was found (it turned out to be the only one, and even a minimal one, on the entire giant map). On day 113, Valeska got the Tactics skill and upgraded the hidden stash of horses.
On day 115, she took the Consulate, and on day 116, after reaching 19 Black Knights, she took the hidden stash of angels; things are looking up. Valeska finished the week with a logo, pathfinding, and level 10, with a home base and angels in the citadel.
By the end of the second week, I broke through the Guardian with 120 wizards and took a minimal Utopia in the treasure central; it was not very good, but as it turned out, it was decisive, as it contained the Amulet of Renunciation. Then, we both played for a couple of days, I raised a few Vivs, and Shahti appeared. I had more creatures, and the home base provided a boost. I wanted to block the Vivs before the battle, gathered 70 of them, and also wanted to pump up the air, but I was afraid he would take my capital and upgrade to 19 of his own angels. I attacked and won without mass magic because the Archmages dealt more than a thousand damage per round. Plus, the expert ballista almost killed an angel per round. Thank you for the game.
So, the next round:
93 Basir777 vs 21 Pit for LM
39 Keba vs 16 Dubrovin Pavel
28 Zadira vs 118 vitalic
26 wowa vs ???
Attention. As far as I know, theShevanesian and AYMAN are playing, but for some reason, they can't finish the game. It's unclear who is avoiding whom, and I don't want to find out. If they don't provide a result by tomorrow, I will take punitive measures.
Kostya, could we, by mutual agreement, switch opponents? I'm sure none of us four would object if Petr and I switched opponents. :smile01:
I'm against it! Let things be as they are. I understand, Pasha, that you really want to get to the finals, but there's no need to be so blatant about it...
Just kidding a little, and you took it so seriously...
Kebazavr, do you think Petr was also so eager to swap?:)

Finally managed to finish the game. Couldn't find a suitable opponent before.
I don't remember the game well, since we played it long ago.
On the first week, I broke into Inferno and hit a block there; the second secondary hero had awkward guard. I struggled at the respawn and stuck in a Naga with Citadel. I took an external dwelling of Hats, and an external dwelling of Giants was revealed (behind the Cerberus horde).
On the second week, I took Rampart; I did some tinkering there, I remember Nela barely had any level-ups. In the end, I took the external dwelling of Giants and placed them in the castle's town.
On the third week, I sent a scout hero into the treasure zone. No specific main hero, 4 heroes are almost equally leveled.
On the fourth week, I took two sets of ducks and a second-tier item in the treasure zone with Nela (Sword + All Stats, and Sentinel's Shield). Deis, meanwhile, was already in another treasure zone. Luckily, it turned out generous. After all, my opponent had a native secondary hero since the second week.
At the beginning of the second month, Deis and Nela farmed that treasure zone (they grabbed ducks 28, Ring +1 Speed behind the Green Dragons, then Tome of Earth behind the Diamond Goblins, and had to fight a hundred Wizards for the Elven Helm). Luckily, everything went smoothly; I lost one Titan and some chaff. I took two Pandoras giving 25 Greater Demons each. The plan was to somehow upgrade the Titans. I picked up a couple of quest artifacts there (traded two of them for gold, one for 20k experience for Deis). In the end, with a big trade, I upgraded 14 Titans (left three for later). I broke through a GO 120+ Manticores and ran along the long road to my opponent. At turn 227, I approached his castle and decided to attack.
Orrin's stats were about half as low, but the army wasn't bad — 11 Angels, 35 Cavaliers, 57 ducks, 120+ Marksmen, a few Monks and Griffins.
Deis had 17 Titans, 17 Nagas, 28 ducks, 50 Grands (I decided to take them instead of 300+ Hats), 40 Archmagi, 50+ Golems, 50 Demons.
In the final battle, my speed +3 and Explosion for 1800 HP decided it. My opponent cast Mass Haste and hit hard with Cavaliers and ducks; I had already taken out the Angels with Explosion. Thanks to Armorer and Defense 30, the Titans were battered by the ducks and Cavaliers but only halved. In the end, I managed to secure victory during the siege.
Thanks for the game!!!!!!!

09.09.2010 AYMAN (red, Tower, Nela, Nela/Deiss) def theShevanesian (blue, Castle, Valeska, Orrin) 2sm4d(3), 227
Thanks for the game !!!!!!!
Yeah, got a good draw - external dwelling of horses [Cavalier/Paladin dwelling], Marksmen [sharpshooter/Marksman dwelling], native secondary hero, Dragon Utopia on the native respawn. True, the castles were a fair distance apart, and the roads were slow. Money was also a bit scarce; basically, I took the secondary hero on first horses at the Citadel. At turn 127, a major fail — scouted an angel external dwelling behind an orc horde, wanted to take it, but Orrin was a couple steps short, decided to take it with a scout hero — but there turned out to be 80+ orcs, and an upgraded stack on top of that. In short, I lost 70+ Marksmen and 4 horses, and never took the dwelling :( After that, I fought on horses.
On the third [week/month], I take the native Dragon Utopia — minimum spawn, only money worth anything. Too bad.
Exits to treasure zones turned out to be far, the treasure zones themselves large in area and sparse; from two developed treasure zones, the only useful finds were a +6 shield and an Air Magic book (found two days before the opponent arrived). In short, no Dragon Utopias or stat-boosting artifacts; true, I collected 56 ducks [Dragon Flies? Fire Dragons? Context: likely power-of-the-void creatures, or it's a specific artifact count or unit count; kept as "ducks" per instruction to preserve if uncertain]. But that wasn't enough — the opponent was just too superior in stats, and Earth Magic decided a lot. Oh well, it happens!
Thanks for the game!
