Voland! Stop ignoring my messages in ICQ.I'll get offended and demand technical support. :) If you wrote something to me in chat a week ago, that's not an excuse; I'm in chat for general purposes, but ICQ is still a means of individual communication.

Voland! It's not nice to ignore my messages on ICQ. I'll get offended and demand technical support. :) If you wrote something to me in chat a week ago, that's not an excuse; I'm in chat for general purposes, but ICQ is still a means of individual communication.

That's why I'm writing here – as a last resort – to try and find Max.

The "I'm Looking for You" program will help :)

Thanks for the tip!

The final was quick and painless.

Medium_HP (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Zubin) def FireToSky (red, Rampart, Aeris, Solmyr), 8mm6a, full, 216

Built horses first with Castle, head, and external dwelling of archers; on the second turn took 6 Angels, 20 Dwarves, Shield +3+3 and a small axe; sent 2 Angels to break through to the corner village; with the rest moved to the center and started "pressuring" the reds hoping things were bad for them, since their gold kept showing low; Angels started spawning at home. They accepted on turn 131 with full buying, upgrades, 5 Angels, Light Magic with Spell Power 11 and bracers; Katya died and gave up artifacts, but by then I had already decided to switch to Zubin, who had picked up good skills. Then Solmyr went to finish with 4 Angels, but while he was moving, I already found something to meet him; he bought back with 1 Angel, killing 2 of mine and the remaining shooters. After that, we mostly mooshed remotely; got lucky with the corner village — Rampart; built a chain there, Portal on the second try, then Explosion and Dimension Door; took the blue computer — Castle, built Angels there, took Griffin Conservatory 3+3. At the end of the fourth, Solmyr jumped into the starting area, killed Luna there, traded a dozen Dwarves for 1 of my Angels, took the spawn, but his army was still weaker all game. Then Solmyr ran away, and I retook the starting area. At the start of the fifth, when most of the map had been eaten by joint efforts, a treasure zone with Pendant of Free Will, Boots of Speed, and +1 Speed appeared; I was just about to take it when Solmyr crept up to the starting area and hid in the elevator, apparently planning to attack.
I could have gone for the Pendant of Free Will or Speed and returned, but I decided to attack anyway, in case he ran. The final fight after Solmyr's Armageddon came down to a showdown between my 15 Archangels under Anti-Magic and summoned Fire Elementals, which seemed to appear 160+ at a time. I really regretted not equipping the Blackshard of the Dead Knight; Blind would have easily solved it, but without it, I had to struggle; in the end, the chain helped, killing the remnants of one Fire Elemental stack and weakening the second to the condition needed for the Archangels to strike.

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game!

A decent move. Kober managed it with the drowned ones.
And by the way, two dwellings of bears...

After the fight I realized it probably would have been worth surrendering Moscow and standing in the path of movement with the army folder. If Gundulka had stayed with what he came with out of joy - there would be a funeral service in the city... A ram, basically, although it's unknown if Kober would have settled in the city.

The tournament is heading towards its logical conclusion. There are only 3 matches left ;)

Medium_HP vs AlexTheGreat
KobRa_RR vs FireToSky
