Well, if an opponent offers a game, why refuse? :confused: :smile07:
This is still a tournament, and I think I did the right thing. :cool: Such defeats only make you stronger, and next time I will think carefully before creating such a situation. And the opponent didn't go without a game – we played a fun match. :rolleyes:

There's time to play, but there isn't a single opponent :(

5.07.2011 gende (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Isra) def RozenKran (red, Citadel, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) 2SM4d(3) 234.

My opponent used all his restarts, I had 112 left. I spawned underground, with many blocks in all directions, ГО - Dimension Door (10-19), no tasty external dwellings, but I decided to play, since through the teleport on 111 I cleared an adjacent zone from Rampart (losing ~25 gr. Troglodytes to Centaurs on grass), and my opponent also seemed to have a slow start judging by the number of heroes. Around 115 I finally spotted an external dwelling of Eyes and decided to mass them; also, after spotting a Necropolis adjacent zone, I decided to make Isra my main.
I did a lot of "craning," running back and forth; by weeks 3-4 I only barely managed to mass Skeletons (~800) and Eyes (~100), took the Boots of Speed, split my army, and started taking 2 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Dragon Utopias, which were located fairly close together. The Griffin Conservatories dropped levels 1 and 2. The Dragon Utopias dropped levels 3 and 4. I got Wings and a Sword +5 to all stats. Before taking the 2nd Dragon Utopia, my opponent (Tyraxor 11-10-11-9, something like that, who had a level 5 helmet) was spotted in the Underground, but my main lacked 4-5 tiles to return to town. I built a level 4 Guild of Mages in Rampart, all garbage)
With the Wings, I ran away from my opponent, leaving him my main and secondary heroes, and flew off to make skeletons myself.
Surprisingly, Isra leveled up quite well — Attack, Defense, and Air Magic came up.
Around 215, having made 2k Skeletons with a collected Elixir of Life, I finally decided to push my opponent, who had Dimension Door, after first grabbing the Shackles of War, and started recapturing my native towns, building level 5 Guilds of Mages and looking for Dimension Door. So I rushed straight to Rampart, retook it, and the level 5 Guild of Mages gave me Dimension Door! After 3-4 turns I caught up to my opponent; in the final battle against 2k+ Skeletons with 10 HP, my opponent had no counter (Implosion dealt 1650 damage), especially since Isra had slightly better stats.

Total 10+ hours of play) Probably won't level Isra anymore, I decided to try it and didn't really like it) Thanks to my opponent for an interesting game)

Oh, and you can still watch the game recordings with my commentary on Justin (actually, if anyone is interested, I stream all my games in the fun section on sc2tv.ru)

And you spent a long time writing that report)
But overall, I enjoyed it; the stream went well, and I almost didn't oversleep for work.

My opponent used all their restarts, I had 112 left. I appeared underground, with many blocks in all directions, ГО - ЧД (10-19), no tasty external dwellings, but I decided to play, since through a teleporter on day 111 I took an adjacent zone from Rampart (losing ~25 gr. Troglodytes to Centaurs on grass), and the opponent seemed to start slowly based on the number of heroes. Around day 115, I finally spotted an external dwelling with Eyes and decided to mass them; also, after spotting a Necropolis adjacent zone, I decided to make Isra my main.
I did a lot of "craning," rushing back and forth, and only by weeks 3-4 did I manage to mass skeletons (~800) and Eyes (~100) and pick up Boots of Speed; then I split up and started taking 2 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Dragon Utopias, which were located fairly close together.

Before taking the 2nd Dragon Utopia, the opponent (Tyraxor 11-10-11-9, something like that, who had a level 5 hat) was spotted in the underground, but I was 4-5 tiles short of returning my main to the town. I built a Mage Guild level 4 in Rampart, all junk).
With the Wings, I ran away from the opponent, leaving them my main and secondary heroes, and flew off to make skeletons myself.
Surprisingly, Isra leveled up well - got Attack, Defense, and Air magic.
Around day 215, after making 2k skeletons with the collected Elixir of Life, I finally decided to push the opponent, who had Dimension Door; I first went back for the Shackles of War and started reclaiming my native towns, building Mage Guild level 5 and searching for Dimension Door. So I rushed straight to Rampart, took it, Mage Guild level 5 = Dimension Door! After 3-4 turns I caught up to the opponent; in the final battle against 2k+ skeletons with 10 HP, the opponent had no counter (Explosion dealt 1650), especially since Isra had slightly better stats.

Yes, you can still watch the replay with my comments on Justin.tv (in general, if anyone is interested, I stream all my games in Fanatics on sc2tv.ru)



I confirm! When I went down to the opponent on the escalator on day 145, I could have taken the capital in one turn and attacked Isra with 650 skeletons, but I chickened out (too few troops) so I stayed in the opponent's town. That was a fatal mistake, Isra ran away and massed skeletons - gg wp:smile02:

5.07.2011 CryptoNight (blue, Castle, Valiska, Shakti) def Kalababa (red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) 2SM4d(3) 224
My start was very promising – Shakti arrived and brought with him 100 brave troglodytes. I immediately captured a crypt (2), and Shakti set off to wander around the republic. On day 112, he found a passage to the metro and broke through there, losing a couple of archers and some meat, but then things started to go wrong – on day 2, I misclicked and didn't capture a mine, and as a result, I was 1 wood short of getting cavalry on week 1. Plus, on week 1, I attacked 28 ogre mages for the boots that increase speed, and I was left with only 6 units and 9 archers from my army. But I got the boots that increase speed, which was saved by the fact that I had hidden copies and archers.
On week 2, I broke through to the swamp, where I finally got bogged down, taking only a couple of piles of gold and resources, and some gnomes (3).
On day 131, the action started:smile44: – the first battle took place, in which we exchanged losses equally, but I noticed that he was very weak in magic. After that, I gathered resources for a GM2 and there (thank the gods) I found lightning and ran around the upgrade paths))) I got lightning that dealt 210 damage, and I somehow managed to survive the week without an army, again spent all my resources on buying units and went to him on day 144 – the second battle took place, where he had a large advantage in meat, and I had only 35 mana. In this battle, I killed 10 of his griffins and 1 angel (the second one had 2 hit points left), and all the archers, after which I ran away, leaving him with two griffins, a couple of archers, and an angel. Then I sat around without money and did nothing – I noticed that Kalababa was preparing for a treasure hunt at the beginning of the second month, and I ambushed him (with boots, a stable, and a log (Shakti wasn't running, but flying with 3500 movement points)) – and he, after killing 3 griffins, bought himself out with a whole army for 10,000, and the money problems were solved:smile03:. On day 221, I bought units and went to him, killing weak units – he settled in the castle with an army of 16 griffins, an angel, and some meat. I reached the castle, but didn't attack and turned back – he couldn't stand it and attacked. He had an army that was not much larger, but I had 50 mana, and I defeated him:smile19:

Yesterday, we played against krutilo and ended in a draw... we decided not to post this result and to play again, so expect a report ;)
P.S. I'm leaving until Sunday, family and kids... please don't register technical defeats, I'll play all the games quickly when I return.

This is directed at Calababa. As I understand it, after playing against me, he didn't want to stream the next game, but he still did... although during that game, he also said he wouldn't stream the next one, so it's quite possible that this time he'll actually do that.

6.07.11 Stryfe (blue, Inferno, Marusya, Marusya) def AlexAG (red, Swamp, Bron, Brokhild) 2sm4d3, 137
The spawn was pretty good - there was an external dwelling of demons and gogs, and gold was scattered around nicely... I spawned underground, surfaced on the first week, and captured a human secondary town. In my own Castle, I built 123456 in the Citadel... On the second week, I grabbed a couple of artifacts for stats, opened two Pandora's Boxes for 5k gold and 10k experience, plus I managed to convert imps, dogs, and the griffins built in my Castle into demons... On the third week, the opponent invaded the human respawn and stopped near a conservatory (which later turned out to be a tier 3 dwelling), but he didn't dare take it... I decided to attack him, and he bought me off... Afterwards, I took the conservatory and rushed to his respawn... But the opponent left me without fly - he preferred to throw himself into the Dragon Utopia-max, after which he surrendered. Thanks for the game!

Good game, thanks for playing.
At first the respawn seemed decent — a lot of gold was scattered around; on day two, with the delivered wyverns and six wasps, I had no trouble clearing the crypt right next to the castle. By the end of the first week, I built 12346 in the castle, but there was nothing else interesting... besides this crypt, there were a couple more in different corners of the respawn. As for treasure spots — only gnolls near the castle and a couple of lizardman caches 5 days away from the castle (and in a dead-end direction, not toward exits from the respawn to secondary zones).
In short, by the third week, I hadn't found anything except a two-week growth and a couple of artifacts... Well, except for a conservatory I could hardly handle, and an opponent who gave me a warm welcome :)
