Thank you for the game.

Wic (red, Necropolis, Xsi) def newb1k (red, Stronghold, Gundula) @ 8mm6a, 141

I played very clumsily; by the final fight my power stack should have been about twice as big, but I kept losing little things here and there, and it all added up considerably.

On week 3, I cleared 3 Dragon Utopias, gained stats and magic. Xsi leveled up cleanly — Armor, Offense, Logistics, Scout, Earth, Fire.

On 137, I jumped the cliff, took the opponent's (Conflux) town, and plugged in Phoenixes to the castle.

On 141, I upgraded the Zealots, brought the growth, and ran to the opponent. He accepted.

I had a good stat advantage, but the power stack was a shocker — 2 Angels, 15 Necro Horses, and freshly bought Conflux power. Meanwhile, they had decent power — 8 Angels, 20 Ducks, and almost all the Barbarian power.

Also, I made a big dumb mistake: I didn't remove the Black Orb for the final fight despite having 3 Armageddon-immune units (Phoenixes, Magic Elementals, Fire) and Red Boots. For that, I almost got punished — the opponent cast Antimagic on the stacks I hadn't managed to disable with battle magic, and cast Armageddon. I bought myself out with 1 Horse and 10 Fire Elementals left. Though a round later, Armageddon would have wiped everything.

And right then, the opponent surrendered for some reason... my army was practically gone, while he still had 6 Angels and 30 Wolves left. Plus he had Fire and Air spell books, even if no Dimension Door. Honestly, I should have been the one to surrender...

Thanks for the game!

2-0

positive (red, Dungeon, Deemer) def Psyche_7 (blue, Castle, Lyonis, Dessa) @ 2sm4d(3), 126

It was an interesting game. I was lucky to encounter a level 1 Guardian on the respawn point, and you can really feel the difference between taking a Guardian with a Miner and with a Mage. Then, through a secondary path, I managed to reach the opponent's respawn point (as it turned out). I gave him a level 1 Guardian and an Angel's Blessing, but I cut him off from it with a Guardian of Order. I had to take it.
In the final, the ranged attack of 110 was very helpful.

Thank you for the game.

positive (red, Dung, Deemer) def Psyche_7 (blue, Castle, Lyonis, Dessa) @ 2sm4d(3), 126

An interesting game turned out. Lucky, I stumbled upon a Conservatory 1 at respawn, the difference between taking the Conservatory with a Miner vs. a mage is very noticeable. Then through a secondary town I broke through to the opponent's respawn (as it turned out). The generator gave him a Conservatory 1 and an external Angel dwelling, but cut off that good stuff from him with a GO guard. I had to take it.
In the final fight, the archer at 110 helped a lot.

Thanks for the game.

I played carelessly, as usual :). The "CIS rules" were stuck in my head, I didn't pay attention to the difference in restarts. I had to play a layout that I naively wanted to restart on 112 (before that I had already taken 1 restart on 112 - a short road into GO and a small fork into a teleport behind a horde of gr. lizards). The generator cut me off not only from the Conservatory and the external dwelling, but also from my native lookout tower and a wood mine. Miraculously = external market + Dwarf Cottages 15+30, I built the first cavalry in the castle. Moreover, on the max Dwarf Cottages on grass (with gr.) I still lost the cavalry :( despite Orrin with expert archery.
I quickly captured a secondary town — Tower. Later scouted 2 Conservatories there, next to one an external dwelling of nagas (!). On the 2nd I took the home Conservatory-1 with a scout hero and for some reason ran to another secondary town via a teleport. Perhaps I should have tried to gather the Conservatories on the secondary town. It's just that by this point the opponent had run to my native lookout tower and could see my "meager" respawn like the back of his hand :). So I just hastened the denouement. There was nothing particular to block the double and the external Angel dwelling.

Registration hasn't ended yet, but half of the participants have already played 1 round, and some are already asking for a second one :)

Registration ends in 3 days, i.e., 06/01/11. Those who haven't registered, hurry up :) After registration ends, I will draw the pairings for the second round for the impatient ones :)

Also, I'll add that by default, all match reports will be included in the seasonal ranking. If anyone is against this, please let me know in advance.

Let's shake things up with some old-school stuff! readme 633061290

Well, I guess I'm the newbie here. )))

Actually, I would play it 199,799,700 times.

Congratulations to everyone on the start of summer and the official beginning of the tournament. Late registration is over. We have 50 participants :eek:
The last pairings for the first round:

readme vs Piterius
R55Max vs gnoll

Since there are 50 participants, and this number cannot be tied to either 32 or 64, a pure Double Elimination format will not work. Therefore, the tournament will be held using a Swiss system, but with some differences:

1. After the second loss, a participant is eliminated from the tournament.
2. The number of rounds is not limited (i.e., the tournament will continue until only one participant remains).
3. There will be no points or standings. I will keep three lists: winners (those without losses), losers (those with one loss), and eliminated (those with two losses). Places will be determined based on the stage of the tournament in which a participant is eliminated.
4. The draw is carried out randomly. Winners play against winners, and losers play against losers. If there is an odd number of winners, a winner will play against a loser.
5. Two players may meet in the tournament several times if there are no other draw options.

If anyone doesn't understand the system, please ask me on ICQ.

I remind you that the deadline for the first round is June 14, 2011. The draw for the second round, for those who have played, will be in the evening when the RNG returns home :D

P.S.: If anyone has problems with the first round, please let me know on ICQ.
