Posts from Qualifying round in Dnipro, 2011.

I will be there. With my laptop.

Dnipro.goal 25.02 at 7:00. I have a laptop, but it's a bit slow.
Return on 27.02 at 22:40.

Right before the tournament, life threw a few curveballs and put some pressure on me, but at the right moment, a couple of pep talks worked, and now everything is fine:).

Tomorrow we start.
Some are already on their way, and some are still getting ready. There are still 8 of us: Me, Rebe - Dnipro, Javdet, Medium - Crimea, Volodymyr, Psyche_7 - Kyiv, Forrest - Kakhovka, KostyaN - Nikopol. Not many, but we'll have time to play without rushing. Three days, three rounds, Swiss system, Buchholz, and a possible additional match for third place by mutual agreement.

Good luck to everyone, and may the best one win:smile02!

Should we expect any streams or something similar?

Please post some pictures right away...

Medium (red, Rampart) lose Psyche_7 (blue, Fortress), 2sm4d(3), WT under SoD
Volodymyr (red, Rampart) def Javdet (blue, Stronghold), 2sm4d(3), WTfull
КостяН (red, Tower) lose Rebellious (blue, Rampart), Jebus Cross, SoD
Piterius (red, Stronghold) vs Forrest (blue, Conflux), 8mm6a, WTfull, save 137

We started off cheerfully, but there was a minor scandal. We barely managed to persuade КостяН to play on SoD (look how far technology has come:) ), and even gave him Tower for it:smile20:.

Did Kostyan intentionally choose the weakest Castle to fight against the strongest one?

1st result is here
Volodymyr (red Fortress Ivor) def Javdet (blue Barbarian Tyrax) 117 skirmishes

Skirmishes, in short))))

Psyche_7 (-2200, blue, Fortress, Broghild, Broghyld) def Medium (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor), 2sm4d(3), 121, WT without experience/tax

===========================================================
Round 2

Psyche_7 (-3900, blue, Fortress, Broghild, Broghyld) vs Volodymyr (red, Conflux, Monere, Monere), Jebus Cross WT without experience/tax

Leaks, o_o_o)))
Who will be the winner?

get another LOL prediction (on the distribution of places) from Samurai:
1. Fortress
2. Volodymyr
3-5. Psyche_7
3-5. Medium
3-5. Javdet
6-8. Rebellious
6-8. KostyaN
6-8. Piterius

Did Kostyan intentionally choose the weakest Castle against the strongest one?

Since when is the Rampart on Jebus the strongest?

Well, Urfettin performs just as well as Galthran and Shakter.

rebellious (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def КостяN (red, Tower, Neela, Thant/Terek), Jebus Cross, SoD, 132

On the first week, I built cavalry in the castle. No archers at the start, so I upgraded the centaurs. Then externals started popping up: pegasi for a horde of gnolls, dendroids for a horde of thieves, dendroids+ dragons for a crowd of demons, elves, another set of dragons for a crowd of soldier-dendroids and pegasi — the last one I didn't color. On 122 I took the third dragon external. Didn't chase after the Dragon Fly Hives; there were three of them and a couple of conscripts — on the outskirts of the respawn. There was an external marketplace, secondary sources — native and dungeon. The Portal of Summoning gave 2 dragons :) Also, in a Pandora's Box behind a crowd of zealots, I got 20 Silver Pegasi. ГО broke through on 125 — a horde of efreets with a grail stack, no losses. The treasure zone turned out to be native too. Gave 3 gold in a Pandora's Box. I slipped past the Wings. Recalled back home to replenish mana. And in the treasure zone, Thant showed up — with quite high stats, though as it turned out — with a battered army. Kyrre (17-15-5-4, expert Tactics, Earth, Armor, advanced Wisdom and Artillery, 14 green dragons, 3 gold dragons, 11 unicorns, 39 Silver Pegasi, 18 soldiers, 63 captains, 36 grand elves) — behind him. ГГ.
Thanks for the game.

Since when is Rampart the strongest on Jebus?

In the original version, Pyotr made a mistake and wrote swamp for me... Afterward, he corrected it... and you've already started a debate here :D

Kostya and Andrey are waiting for the end of our epic with Tolik, which seems to be dragging on for a long time...
