So, a week has passed. We played 6 games and 2 on a saved game – not bad ;) I updated the fourth post; now, it includes the lower bracket. I left empty spaces for the matches that haven’t been played yet. The winner, Scorpiona - KiNB, will play against Dimast, and the loser will play against Paul Man Utd. Also, the winner of the Juristis - Sky Pioneer match will play against Stryfe, and the loser will play against Ingersol. This is in case I’m unavailable, but I’ll remind you again :) Try to finish within three days, okay?
Guys from the lower bracket, you can’t afford to make any more mistakes!
Good luck to everyone, the deadline is September 1st.
Fidesxfx (Red, Citadel, Crag) def Amiloo (Blue, Swamp, Tazar) Jebus, 127. 111. At the castle there's an external dwelling of rocs for 20-49 magogs, I decide to play. On the way a Pandora's box for 10-19 upgraded dendroids. I decide to play after all. 112. Killed 18 dendroids, got 10k experience. I think I definitely need to play. 113. Sorrow, I realize it's not all that smooth. ! The road is blocked by 5-9 upgraded castle horses, on the second one there are 20-49 scorpicores, golems, and a ton of stuff. I decide to hit the external dwelling of rocs. 114. From the external dwellings: 1 rocs, 1 ogres, 2 wolves. I run for another Pandora's box for 50-99 evil eyes. 115. In the Pandora's box there are 80 goblins, not what I expected for such a guard(. 116. I resign, and bought myself out at the tavern on the map, there I take a Hive for 6 wyverns, a gnomium, a medusa factory. 121. Went home to refill mana, and on 121 ran to break through one of the blocks, kill upgraded horses, still can't expert Earth. 123. Hive, finally expert Earth. Another Hive. 125. Epic fail, I take a Hive, run to the secondary hero, there's a Pandora's box, I beat the guard, the Pandora's box is empty, I take a village, and hoping to resign back home, I build a tavern there, and then I don't have enough movement to attack, I can enter the castle, but I didn't build the Mage Guild. Sadness. 126. Resigned back home, I break through the second guard on the way to the secondary hero, there are 24 scorpicores. I stand without mana. Scout heroes take another Hive. Then again epic fails, I see there's a well at the tavern on the respawn, I resign without thinking, and only then it dawns on me that without another hero I can't buy myself out there))). But luckily, after taking Deesa's ducks, he ran and bought Crag, who refills mana and runs to clear the way to the GO. 127. I beat the GO, failed enough, losing 2 chudics, 2 ducks. There was a double GO with 50-99 efreets, and the same number of scorpicores. Noticed Opa, I can reach Tazar, but I decide to first hit the Hive, beat the Hive, stay there overnight. With a scout hero I attack Opa's scout hero, hoping to kill a snake there, and that the others won't bring snakes or something else to Tazar. And so it is. After passing the turn, I was attacked. Thanks to the birds, I move first. FB. What made me smile was that on the first turn they cast Mass Slow on me, I have the artifact +10 resistance. And resistance activates on 2 stacks at once, I was stunned). In terms of stats and army I was losing, but had an advantage in mana. And a Shooter on 130. I still messed up a few times in the FB, but overall, blindness on the wyverns, kill his archers with my ducks, after which kill everything else. And under Mass Slow, while I still have mana, I shot down the opponent's ducks with my shooter, then Mass Shield, and the slaughter began. At the end I had about 10+ ducks left. Thanks to Amiloo for the game, it was intriguing, I believed until the end that I would lose. But luck was favorable to me. Good luck in the tournament.
I confirm. Got a crazy lucky break, one native secondary hero, mountains of gold, external dwellings: 2 wyverns, 2 bulls, 2 basilisks, 7 gnolls, 1 liz, 1 hydra, on day 2 I take a Pandora's box with 60 lizards, on day 3 I get the Golden Bow, and there are no more obstacles for me in this world, by week 2 I have 1-6 in the castle, half the external dwellings because the rest are unexplored. I see the opponent has no secondary hero for a week and a half and heroes are buying out slowly, I feel like a winner, in the middle of week 2 with perfect development, good stats, 50 ducks, and Shackles in my pocket, I go to beat the GO, I break through the devils, immediately take the Dragon Utopia, boots, a couple of Pandora's boxes for experience, and all level 4 spells. Out comes Crag through the GO, he doesn't attack, I think whatever, maybe 58 ducks and 100+ lizards will be enough, luckily I have Shackles, and I charge in with 10 mana Oo GGWP the game was amazing, no one expected such an outcome :)
The slow roads were dealt. The scout revealed an external dwelling of Wyverns on the secondary and I decided to play. Oh, it was tough…:o Home respawn is small and poor, 2 roads to GO (gold dragons) and the Fortress secondary, where Shakti immediately ran. By mid-week 1, the Fortress was captured. On both respawns, the wood mines were far away and blocked…On the first week, I couldn't even build the planned portal in the Dungeon… 117 Dungeon left with 1-5 in the fort, Fortress 123, 6 in the fort + captured external dwelling of Wyverns. 121 Scout successfully loses a couple of Wyverns in the Max Seclep:eek: …while Shakti runs around the Fortress recapturing gold and wood. Exits to the treasure zones: one into empty sands, the other through the Fortress about 3-4 days of movement. No Dragon Fly Hives or Conservatories on the respawns:( . 126- 127 I break through an exit into a grass secondary via the rough terrain, hoping for something!!!:smile13: :smile13: :smile13: 133 After running past the exit towards the opponent in the Fortress, Shakti captures the Conflux. 134 First Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Dragon Flies:p 135-136 The scout reveals the exit into the treasure zone and a Naga Bank, Shakti runs for money, there also turned out to be a Conservatory (3), while scouts break through the exit to the opponent and reveal the territory:smile14: . 137-142 The scout reveals the opponent's territory and I observe Tazar's movements. Shakti dives into the treasure zone, ate a couple of Pandora's Boxes with 25 Evil Eyes and 10k gold, a Dragon Fly Hive with 4 Dragon Flies and looked into a couple of Libraries…Artifacts are nowhere to be seen… 144 Shakti runs to visit Tazar. 145 Reaches the castle. FB: Tazar (6-12-2-3-(30) had 2 strong stacks of shooters which stung a lot…but Shakti's magic (13-12-8-10-(200) still carried the fight.
On day 111 with an obelisk I scouted golden bow, external dwelling of serpents and bulls (but bulls were in the far corner of the respawn in bypass, and to flag it you'd need to lose about 5-7 days :( ) On first week 1-6 in the Citadel. Blocks on all secondary towns, nothing to break them with. Main hero only level 2 :smile18: . 121-124 I break through a triple block and take a Rampart secondary town. 125 I hit 88 air elementals with a growth stack for a chest of 10k experience. I got roughed up pretty good - 2 Wyverns, 7 basilisks, 15 growth serpents, 10 lizardmen and about 30 gnolls :smile16: . But my main got Attack and Earth. Right away I scouted an external dwelling of marksmen, and with the prospect of the golden bow, I build marksmen in the Castle of Rampart. For the rest of the week I was scraping resources and gold. 131-133 I upgrade 30+ elves, Dwarf Cottage to 20, I transfer goods to the other end of the explored map for the bow. 134 I take the bow for 49! archmagi with a loss of 2 Wyverns, a couple of cows and about 10 archers :( I notice the opponent near the guard on another secondary town — had to change plans and run my main home. 135 The opponent doesn't hit the guard :smile32:, my main goes into the subway and scouts a Hive 136 Tanya finally on my respawn, I hit the scout hero so it won't scout my respawn 137 They hit my scout hero with a Conflux growth stack and head for the obelisk :smile07:, my main takes a level 6 Hive, right away a Necropolis secondary town and splits for home. 141 Tanya lights up the obelisk. That's it, Tazar panics and walks around his castle for two days, afraid to go anywhere. 143 My main realizes it's useless to sit and decides to go to the opponent's capital through the Rampart secondary town. But I didn't manage to get far — on 144 Shakti showed up on the respawn, I split for home again. 145 With full liquidation and buying everything, Tazar holed up with golden bow in the capital, even though he knew magic would decide it. And so it did — a 220-damage lightning bolt left no chance.
Thanks for the game! Good luck in the tournament! I'll root for Tanya and wait for a rematch in the finals :D
Убив один раз, становишься негодяем, тысячу раз - героем.
We chose a rematch after the meeting and a couple of 111s. I spawned at the top, roads were slow, no external dwellings on the main. Broke through to 113 onto the grass, took Conflux, nearby air elemental external dwelling; due to a lack of money, I fought with only 3 heroes (a tournament anti-record). Only on 116 did I manage to take a Crypt and 3 treasure chests for 2000; from rags to riches, I immediately built 1-6 in the Castle (except Hell Hounds). On week 2, I tried to build chains, targeted the only Griffin Conservatory on the main; it turned out to be 3-4, so I had to expert Fire Magic at the expense of Earth! On 131, with the cart and Curse, I cracked it. Then I ran to the only explored treasure zone with a couple of Dragon Utopias; 40 air elementals saved me in the minimal battle, I got a Shield +4 All, started leveling Wisdom — as it turned out, just in time. On the advanced level, I took a Pandora's Box for all Earth Magic, then cracked a tier-3 Dragon Utopia on 142. Attack grew to 30 — I could hit the opponent. On ГО, I experted Earth Magic from the Castle's horses, and by the end of the month, I took the opponent's capital. I spotted an upgraded Necropolis at my opponent's, but the Tavern showed an advantage in troops, so I didn't worry too much. I went on to take another couple of Dragon Utopias, got a Red Orb and a Helm +6 All; in the end, the drawn-out game finished only on 224 in a human secondary town. 1500 Skeletons and 14 Angels + meat couldn't withstand the onslaught of 7 combat-ready stacks (+ Ballista) with 40 Attack. Thanks for the game, Sir Juristis, and good luck in your next game!
We chose restart on meeting and a couple of 111. I spawned at the top, roads were slow, no external dwellings on the main. Broke through to 113 on the grass, took Conflux, next to it an external dwelling of air elementals, due to lack of money I fought with only 3 heroes (tournament anti-record), only on 116 managed to take a crypt and 3 chests for 2000, from rags to riches, immediately built 1-6 in the castle (except dogs). On week 2 I tried to build chains, aimed at the only Griffin Conservatory on the main, turned out to be 3-4, had to expert Fire magic at the expense of Earth! On 131 with cart delivery and curse I cracked it open. Then I ran to the only scouted treasure zone with a couple of Dragon Utopias, 40 air elementals helped out in the minimal fight, got a shield +4 all, started leveling Wisdom, which turned out to be just in time, on advanced I took a Pandora's Box for all Earth magic, then cracked open a Dragon Utopia treasure on 142. Attack grew to 30, could hit the opponent. On GO from the castle horses I experted Earth, and by the end of the month took the opponent's capital. I spotted a leveled Necromancer from the opponent, but the tavern showed troop advantage, so I wasn't too worried. Went and took another couple of Dragon Utopias, got a red orb and a helmet +6 all, eventually the dragged-out game only ended on 224 in a human secondary town. 1500 skeletons and 14 angels + meat couldn't withstand the onslaught of 7 combat-capable stacks (+ ballista) with attack 40. Thanks for the game, Sir Juristis and good luck in the next game!
We scouted each other perfectly, I got red Rampart, which I love. With rests things were much worse, having chosen all rests out of them they didn’t resurrect 2 simply excellent ones, I got a huge respawn in a quarter of the map. On the first week, horses were built in the castle, the external marketplace allowed me to buy well. On the respawn there were two camps that first gave 4 Archmagi and then a bear and 2 castle horses; scout heroes cleared the crypts of the respawn with them. I got a secondary only on week 2, the castle; on the third week I took a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns and jumped into a portal, and Valya got crushed here too. She looks at my army with a scout hero and doesn’t attack; I look at her army too, I see an advantage in meat and a slight one in stats 10-11 vs 7-8, and I attack. 4 Angels 8 horses 60 archers 15 swordsmen 20 pikemen 1 pikeman and 7 Wyverns at Tatiana’s 2 Dragons 10 horses 15 Dendroids 25 Pegasi 36 Grand Elves 100 Centaurs 8 Wyverns at mine; Tactics allows me to set up and cover the Elves. On the first turn I get Mass Slow, but it doesn’t affect the Dragons, and they fly forward to cover the archers. The Centaurs get morale and go for the Dragons; the exchange is harsh for me. Having covered the archers and killed them, I lose the Dragons and Centaurs, and the Angels with Cavaliers hit my horses, removing their retaliation. But the Elves are well protected and shoot painfully; on the third turn I get Forgetfulness on the shooters, but lucky for me it’s not expert level, so damage is halved. In the end, Valeska flees, leaving me with 16 archers, 15 Dendroids, 8 Wyverns, and 6 Pegasi. I take the main castle. I realize where Valeska is heading at the end of month 3 and quickly transfer 22 archers and 25 pikemen from the castle, build and upgrade Dwarves. Thus, on turn 137 my castle held out. After that, surrender followed. Thanks for the game. And many thanks for auto.
The spawns were simply excellent for me, I got red Rampart, which I love. With the rests things were much worse, having chosen all the rests from them, 2 simply excellent ones did not respawn, I got a huge respawn in a quarter of the map. On the first week, Centaurs were in the castle, the external market allowed me to buy well. On the respawn there were two camps which gave first 4 Archmages and then a Bear and 2 Castle horses, the scout hero cleared the crypts of the respawn with them. I only got to the secondary castle on the 2nd week, Castle, on the third I took the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns and dived into the portal, Valya crashed here too. She looks at my army with a scout hero, doesn't attack, I look at her army too, I see an advantage in meat and a small one in stats 10-11 vs 7-8 and I attack. 4 Angels, 8 horses, 60 archers, 15 swordsmen, 20 pikemen, 1 Pikeman and 7 Wyverns for Tatiana 2 Dragons, 10 horses, 15 Dendroid Soldiers, 25 Pegasi, 36 Grand Elves, 100 Centaurs, 8 Wyverns for me, Tactics allows me to position myself and block the elves. On the 1st turn I get Mass Slow, but it doesn't affect the Dragons and they fly forward to block the archers. Centaurs get morale and go to the Dragons, the exchange is harsh for me, having blocked the archers and killed them I lose my Dragons and Centaurs and the Angels with Cavalry hit my horses, removing the retaliation. But the elves are tightly covered and shoot painfully, on the 3rd turn I get Forgetfulness on the shooters, but my luck is that it's not expert level and the damage is halved. As a result, Valeska runs away leaving me 16 archers, 15 Dwarves, 8 Wyverns and 6 Pegasi. I take the main castle. I understand where Valeska is heading at the end of week 3 and quickly transfer 22 archers and 25 pikemen from the castle, build and upgrade Dwarves. Thus, on turn 137 my castle held out. After which came the surrender. Thanks for the game. And huge thanks for the auto.
Heh-heh. After Valentina's giveaways, a single stack of 27 archers at the start seemed powerful!!! The scout revealed a Griffin Conservatory on the respawn and another one on the secondary, + a stable, I decide to play. 113, the secondary Citadel is captured, Valya reclaimed the Boots of Speed and the passage to the second secondary. 114, Tower is captured, I light up the scout, here is another Griffin Conservatory. But there is still no money… and no buildings either except the Naga Bank. 117, I barely scraped together enough for the horses in the Citadel. 3 respawns turned out to be simply poor. No money, no stat upgrades, and no artifacts. 124, Naga Bank (4), only now can I buy the army and I break through another exit into the Inferno underground. Here I looked into the treasure zone with a Dragon Fly Hive of 8 Wyverns and captured 2 Pandora's Boxes for 100+ Demons for 3 levels of Magic and 5 points of experience 127, I break into the castle behind the stable at the start of the week and was a bit short of Expert Earth, I looked into a Tree of Knowledge. 131, Griffin Conservatory 2. 132, Kyrre exits the portal. I take another Griffin Conservatory (2) and I don't have enough to buy the remaining army from the castle. Despite the fact that 4 respawns are behind me :o ….well, I just didn't manage to reach one more Griffin Conservatory… I can't even say anything about the final battle… I felt the Expert Defense, my units hit the Dragons and Unicorns dealing very little damage. Receiving serious damage in return from the elves, the shooter only removed small fry…
25.08.2011 CryptoNight (red Castle, Valeska, Clavius) def Tomash (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Tamika) Balance 212 Week 1: Interesting fact - about 60% of my draws were Necromancer, and on the 6th generation Clavius appeared - and I knew it was fate)) I never played Necromancer before - decided to try it - I liked it))) But in order - on day 1, having 19 unupgraded archers and 20+ spearmen - I break through militia blocks - lost about 5 spearmen somewhere))) Clavius gets level 2 Necromancy and discovers an external dwelling of Swordsmen - decision made to play))) All week, using chains, I take down goodies (there are very few on the respawn - an external dwelling of Swordsmen - and a couple of treasure chests, not a single crypt - no Dwarven dwellings in reach)) 2 secondary heroes are spotted - both in the metro (and both turned out to be Necromancers) Decided to hit 60+ Master Grevlings on the grass (lost a couple of Goblins, the Grevlings died a hero's death:smile19:. Flushed with success, I head down - but waiting for me is trouble - 20-49 Medusas (turned out to be with a master stack) :smile18: After that, I turn around and head to the 2nd entrance to the metro - it's even worse - on top are Master Vampires (I lost 10+ Skeletons and a couple of spearmen) - and below..............Master Air Elementals:smile18: That's how week 1 ended))))) Another external dwelling of Swordsmen is spotted - but I can't take it because the guard is Master Lizardmen. Week 2: On day 123, I bang on the 1st metro entrance again - break through the Medusas with 5 Cavalry and 40 spearmen - and right on cue, they kill 2 Cavalry and 8 spearmen - the Medusas are underground - and the master stack has the same speed as the Cavalry:mad: I broke through to a secondary hero - but it was a total bust - nothing there except a chest and a couple of gold piles - I turned around and rushed back to town - to learn Slow and hit the Griffin Conservatory under my main - luckily I already had a solid stack of Archers and Zealots (75 and 23 respectively) - the level 3 Griffin Conservatory fell without a problem - lost a couple of spearmen - now have 160 Skeletons and 3 Angels - what more could a man want:D Week 3 - The Griffin Conservatory fell on day 132 - after which I broke through the Air Elementals - and straight through the small ГО - 70 master Lizardmen and 49 master Minotaurs - I break into a Necromancer fort - Central Castle) - where there is a lot of good stuff (Shield +4, Hat +3, Sword +3) - but then 2 mega fails happen in a row - first, 1 Minotaur kills 1 Angel with its special ability, and then I mispositioned Archangels and the first stack with Tactics:eek: Result - 10 Archers and 1 Angel (I'm in shock). But I don't lose heart - I continue necromancy - converted the leftover fodder into Skeletons at the Necromancer castle - and I burst through a secondary hero to the opponent's main - right on day 136 I take his main - and stay in the castle on day 137 - so they don't take it back:D Week 4 - The start of a very interesting game - a war of Cavalry begins (very interesting) where magic carried a lot (just consider the battle where 5 Griffins and 3 Zombies desperately kill 30 Centaurs and 6 Sprites) The opponent constantly casts Veil of Darkness on the Necromancer secondary that is adjacent to us both - I uncover it with Visions) I escaped to another zone - where I collected about 300+ Skeletons and leveled up to 15. Plus, I bought out the Rampart growth - and he was forced to kill his own troops - and by week 4, Rampart was left without units and Grand Elves) Week 5 - Plague Week:smile16: I see out of the corner of my eye that the opponent is getting ready to break into the treasure zone - and I myself fly in behind him through zero-guard - but I'm about a turn behind - but luckily the ГО was over rough terrain - and he got stuck in the sands - where I caught up to him)) FB - from my side - 37 Zealots, 750 Skeletons, 8 Cavalry, 1 Angel, 75 Archers - against 23 Grand Elves, 270 Skeletons, 6 Angels, 49 Master Dwarves and 2 Cavalry and 17 Pegasi. It went through 1 portal - 750 Skeletons alone would have wiped everything out) Plus the opponent had no mass magic - and I cast Slow and Shield - and the Skeletons couldn't be killed)) Thanks for the interesting game)
first week nothing special, 1-6 in the castle, skeletons are piling up. Tamika Necromancer also came for Rampart, and in previous generations Isra and Vidomina came, so the lineup for Necromancers had been set long ago. then even a second Necromancer, Vokial, came, whom I ran through the upgrade buildings and maxed out Necromancy without fighting a single battle. that's what undermined me, I decided I'd clear like a governor and necromance with two heroes, gave the noob Necro an army, and without checking, I went into a maxed Naga bank on 124 with a greased stack :smile35: almost 100 skeletons, 6 horses, 9 wood elves, 40 dwarves stayed there, basically almost all the meat, I crawled out with 14 elves and 20 centaurs, and about 80 skeletons left
but on my respawn there turned out to be as many as 4 external dwellings of Dwarves, and, initially not giving it much thought, left without an army - I decided to build a stack out of them, bought them up the second week, upgraded them in the castle, plus they accumulated in the village, eventually on 131 I had 90+ Dwarves, who almost solo took me the Griffon Conservatory duo, then I also took the Griffon Conservatory 3, and the opponent crawled out of the metro and stopped on the way from the main, I realize I won't make it in time to defend, I dive into the Naga bank with 5 Angels and 60 Dwarves to buy all the growth, again maximum - all the Dwarves stay there, the Angels, though on 5 HP, all survived. but I bought everything, the opponent holed up in my castle, I take another Griffon Conservatory 2, go home with 7 Angels. the opponent runs out of the castle, having bought horses and elves, I take the castle with Angels without losses - upgrade and again gather Dwarves from all places, 60+ growth per week is a joy to behold. the 4th week goes by in fights of junk heroes, the opponent has few heroes, I sacrifice several more to him, pretending to fight for the Necromancer castle, meanwhile I scouted the exit to the treasure zone and stand before the main enemy for a speed boost at the start of the next week, I clear another Naga bank along the way, which again turned out to be maximum, but 7 Angels and single Pixies handle it easily.
I place and DO NOT BUY the Dragons.
211
week of the PLAGUE.
well that was just the end, not only did I not buy elves after the 3rd week, due to losing the main, I lost almost 100 Dwarves, 3 Dragons, and all the rest of the growth in the castle and village, while the opponent only had 1-6 in the Citadel, so the blow to him was weaker... my advantage in buildings and economy went up in smoke, having almost 20k gold, there was simply nowhere to spend it....
on 211 with the army of the 3rd week and 7 Angels I break through to the center, but the opponent follows, he has Pathfinding, catches up, 750 skeletons and mass Slow against my advanced Earth and advanced Air, I wanted both, in the end I maxed out neither :( ... the arrow on 220 didn't save me, there was no mass Haste, GG WP
confirmed. there were fewer disconnects this time.:D
we played with catch-up sessions starting on Thursday
on day 1: Septienna appeared as the 3rd hero, I decided to level her, got creatures in the citadel - which gave me hope, took a secondary, external dwelling of orcs, scouted a griffin conservatory, a dwarf cottage, and the road to a snowy secondary with 3 blocks.
on day 2: I took griffin conservatory 1, a dwarf cottage, and a snowy secondary - from which there was no further road and all..
day 3: I pushed further through the snow :( I got a shield +4def, pandora's box with 15 storm elementals, armor +3s and a sword +2a, made it to a Conflux secondary from which there was a road.
day 4: through a lookout I saw the opponent operating in the center, took a Necropolis secondary, a pandora's box with 5k gold, and went to the center, I was smart enough to go there with 1 angel to be faster :D, stopped near a portal, not far from which, as it turned out, was Tamika, who caught Septienna out in the open,
I could have probably run if not for expert tactics and slow, then we checked the combat log - expert tactics, mass slow and haste on skeletons decided it, 5 creatures fell to nearly 500 hasted skeletons, lightning was of little use here.
Guys, there are so many clones among you, it's insane :D It's strange that the organizers allow this to happen.
For example, Amiloo, is he really a newbie? I watched his FPVOD, he's definitely not a newbie, although he makes a lot of mistakes and has many questions, but he's definitely NOT a NEWBIE)))))
