I understand that there is an interportal going on, but I would like to know when the tournament will continue?

I understand that there's an interportal issue, but I'd like to know when the tournament will continue.

Because of the interportal issue, I didn't set strict deadlines for the tournament. I've contacted the players, and they promise to play soon.

16.10.2011 Gomunguls(Blue,Stronghold,Tiraxor,Tiraxor)def GoD(Red,Castle,Valeska,Shakti)8XM12,1.3.6
Bought Stronghold for 2100 in total... grabbed 2 secondaries on the first... on the second I broke a group of unicorns for 10k exp under 30 kr. cyclops for 20k exp, dragon external dwelling nagashnik.... then boots of speed, several medusaten and another nagashnik with combat spirit... by 1.2.6 I was already level 17.. upgraded scouting, water walking, logistics, defense, etc... at the start of the 3rd I broke a Dragon Utopia, they gave KV armor 4+4 and something else... then headed for the reds... grabbed a couple of their towns there and did good scouting... I see a Dragon Utopia and think about how to break it... in the end, I entered it with 80 wolves, 10 vivs, 12 birds and a bit of meat... lost a few wolves, 2 birds and 4 vivs, and they gave titan armor, necklace+ 3 all, and ring+ 4 all... refilled magic and rested... Zhenya broke the Dragon Utopia, then attacked my towns with some idiots and meat, I managed to mow down 1 of his angels... then the army retreated... and here I make a gross mistake—attacked a town hiding wolves and then saw shakter and decided to break him with shackles... and forgetting about the wolves, I gave the army without them to the spoon and got crushed(((...nothing left to do but attack like this... 10 hours of play exhausted both of us, so we started making mistakes...O_o... in fb I got caught in the rain... summoned water elementals, 2 stacks of 105 pieces fought and I predicted the outcome of the game—that after losing main troops I would finish off the opponent with one-water elementals and both heroes would vanish... but Zhenya makes a mistake and doesn't kill my warriors, I hide the last 2 orcs behind water spirits, then killed the angels and put anti-magic on the orcs... finished off remaining troops with dumahas and retreated to town... that's where we ended...
Thanks for the game!!!!

Yesterday, Paul and I played game 122 and saved the game. Today, we loaded the save, and Paul's castle is gray. He has already deleted his own saves. I suggested that he reveal his units and surrender – he acknowledged that my position was better, but he didn't want to surrender. I have a conflict on level 6 – on the first island, I'm standing near the maxicon, which is taken by an autobattle; I can see all of the opponent's moves (he went in the wrong direction – where I've already cleared everything). He has barbarians, wolves, and birds. Should I start a new game, or will the judges evaluate this save?

Get on ICQ – we'll talk there.

Is there really no way to fix it with an HD mod?

10/16/2011 Gomunguls (Blue, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) def GoD (Red, Castle, Valeska, Shakti) 8XM12, 1.3.6

Great battle! Thanks to Psyche_7 for organizing the stream, and to Sevensan and Dirty_Player for their insightful commentary.
GoD led in territory, troops, and heroes throughout the game, but luck (and a lot of mana) allowed Gomunguls to win at the last moment.

It would be very interesting to see both heroes die. Who would have the advantage then? :confused:

On block 111, there are 10-19 units of Earth Elementals with a Pandora. I was thinking of taking a rest, but there's another Pandora nearby for 19 wood. There are 90 fairies there. The scout breaks through and on block 112, eliminates the enemy hero with un-upgraded Gremlins. On block 113, I take the enemy hero.
On block 116, a green computer unit is harassing my opponent, and he loses.

Thanks for the game!

I messed up a great setup. But he deserved the win. )
Thanks for the game.

The rules don't seem to specify whether you can change the template for a fee.

21.10.2011 Gomunguls (Blue, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Jeddite) def Sevensan (Red, Castle, Valeska, Deesa) 8mm6a, 2.1.3
Bought a Barbarian for 1600))))) the game was alright, we each took 2 rests... I got a Sharpshooter and 38 wolves, lots of gold and many heroes, I don't take a rest... I broke through well, arrived at Barbarian territory near the end of the week... there I found decent items, on the first day I break the Griffins for a Cape of Speed, then Medusas for a Grave, and Liches for a Prison where Jeddite was sitting at level 10... then I start messing up and went for 50-99 Pits... yeah... there I lost all 55 wolves... then I captured an external Dragon dwelling... then I lost everything again)))))... hell... well, I thought okay, I'll keep playing and see what happens... I still had a lot of army in the Castle since on the first week I placed 1-5 in the Castle... I built the second Guild and trained Jeddite... then I ran around and captured my Conflux, several Pandora's Boxes, Boots of Speed... filled a Dragon Fly Hive with 30 Wyverns... overall everything was fine, and I decide at the start of week 4 to head towards Sevensan, while a second hero grabs a Vial (I was still missing one ring for the Vial of Life) and levels him on the computers... I go to the Conflux and there's a Dragon Utopia... I have a bunch of troops from different towns in my army so I decide to run back, give all the army to Tyraxor to break the Dragon Utopia, and the main hero runs for the Necklace +3 morale and luck (but as it turned out later, it wasn't even needed)... I break the Dragon Utopia, they give a Cap, Necklace +3 to spell power and knowledge, Shield +12, and something else... then I capture the Conflux, build Birds in the Conflux and upgrade Telepaths and Fire Elementals... near the second Conflux there was also an external Fire Elemental dwelling... then after buying everything and transferring it all to the main hero, I run back towards the Red player... at the fork I turned left and there sits the opponent's main hero in an Inferno Castle... meanwhile, with Tyraxor I grab the secondary hometown, where everything is already built and there's a Capitol... and a very angry computer watches as I settle into his Castle))):D ... then he attacks with attack 14 and an expert Ballista... the battle was interesting=)... on the next turn Deesa tried to run away but I caught her)))... in the FB there could have been different outcomes, but it went like this — I swarmed the Efreeti with Birds, and after my Wyverns exploded, I blew up the Champions... then I finished off the Efreeti and an Armageddon... while I was trying on new gear, the opponent surrendered...
Thanks for the game!!!
P.S. to numOne, Andrey, I want to apologize, but I won't be able to play for first place because I have a lot of work and still need to play many games that are already on fire + for me this game no longer decides anything since I'm advancing to the FB... so whoever wins in the lower bracket, let them win OFB 5.
Thanks everyone for the tournament!!!:smile13:

21.10.2011 Gomunguls(Blue,Stronghold,Tyraxor,Geddite)def Sevensan(Red,Castle,Valeska,Dessa)8mm6a,2.1.3

I streamed and commented the entire game (except for the final week) through Psikh.

111 I see a Griffin Conservatory, external dwellings of monks and griffins, lots of gold, a couple of Medusas, Dessa.
117 Killed the purple computer, generated a passage to it. At home 1-4,6 in the Citadel with a griffin external dwelling.

121 I kill the Inferno computer where Pit Fiends are in the Citadel.
123 Hive +8
124 at home Hive +6
125 chain Griffin Conservatory +2, Hive +4
127 Pandora's Box 15 gold, an angel is stupidly sacrificed.

Horses Castle, Efreeti Castle.

131 Took the Naga Armor and ran into the treasure zone where a Dragon Utopia is visible.
133 +15 experience, Ring of Speed
134 Hive +6. On the guard 70 Dendroid Soldiers + morale, I stupidly lose the last angel, without using Dispel on the roots.
136 Hive +6, at the same time some demons are being cut down. Checked the Dragon Utopia - a triple. I didn't climb in yet, approached the second one, transferred the army. 30 demons, 30 wyverns and a Azure Dragon. At the last second I climb in... A triple, I didn't have time to assess the Azure Dragon. As a result, the entire Azure Dragon falls in round 1. They never gave me Bless, so I was there without mana. I didn't take the Dragon Utopia... -30 wyverns and 30 demons (( Ran away with a Wyvern at 4 HP...

137 Finished the Dragon Utopia with Efreeti and horses.. Gave KZ, +2 all, +3 all, Shield +5! In short, excellent. I go to the second Dragon Utopia.

141 In 2 visits, 7 Gnolls + elementals + explosion I take another Dragon Utopia. They give Body +10, Helm +4+4 and Black Orb.
143 Stats 11 15 24 13, against Gomunguls 4 5 16 10. Army-wise I have the advantage, but my Explosion does 2200 with boost, and Rain does 1000. In short, a clear victory. But then he runs away (behind the Dragon Utopia)

Meanwhile, I continue and take another Dragon Utopia - a single, junk. They never gave me control.

212 He arrived at my Inferno. I holed up there with fresh growth outside the castle. - purely Implosion and run away, but he didn't reach me.
213 Brought another 18 Champions and in general the battle.

In this battle, I also just wanted to kill a couple of his stacks and run away, but I miscalculated that there was no Armageddon (though I saw both Fly and Dimension Door - clearly the Cape). There was Antimagic on 18 horses, and due to the stat difference they would have been unkillable (30 wyverns dealt 200 damage). But I exploded the Wyvern and passed the turn. In the second round, I got crushed. There was also a big machine of 12 Efreeti, lots of demons. In short, I gave away the victory, despite the loss in the Dragon Utopia.

P.S. We played with an 8-minute SoD timer, there was constantly not enough time to play and comment on what was what. The eternal time pressure took its toll.

Thanks for the game!

P.S. to numOne, Andrey, I want to apologize, but I won't be able to play for first place because I have a lot of work, and I also need to play many more games that are already scheduled, plus this game doesn't matter much to me anymore because I'm already qualified for the final bracket... so whoever wins in the lower bracket should win in the final bracket of OFB 5.
Thanks to everyone for the tournament!!!:smile13:

If you want to go there, we both qualified for the final bracket before our game! And we'll still have to play for the sake of it (if I make it) =) Otherwise, I'll win and disappear ))))

Actually, we both completed it on Facebook before! And we'll still have to play for the record (if I pass) =) Otherwise, I'll win and leave ))))

You won't have to)) I've already talked to Andrey, and he said that everything is fine regarding my decision... and we can play on Facebook)) if that's what you want)):rolleyes:
