Posts from HeroesWorld.ru vs GamerHome.net 2011

Well, it seems Red has rage-quit...

Numvan, congratulations! The game was captivating, and I enjoyed watching it, but I had to leave and missed part of it. I came back and saw some great News!)). You got to the Treasury earlier, collected the Hive, but I was surprised why you went back to take your town on day 142. The Chinese player could have bought the entire army there. Why didn't you go to capture his castles? I noticed that the Chinese put a very big emphasis on the Guild of Mages, and they also like to build Capitols. When our players can only build a 1000 mana structure, and sometimes they don't even build that. Maybe I don't understand the strategy very well (and that's probably the case, I haven't played it much), but I think it would be better to take the Chinese player's town, learn magic, and double your mana! And then you can face all these things with more confidence. Basically, come and take everything that's already prepared for you :D I'm not criticizing in any way, I'm just sharing my thoughts. I repeat, the Chinese put a very big emphasis on magic, so be careful! We're used to ignoring this and focusing on 2sm4d3, relying on Dragon Utopias, and the situation where everyone trades all their resources for 121 to buy things doesn't surprise anyone. But the balance here is different... And of course, I'm happy about the victory! I believed in it :D

Redwhait (orange, tavern, theodore, izra) lost to Hotyun (blue, castle, lord haart) 226 8XM8. It's tough to play with such a situation, especially not understanding the rules:confused: (it says you can't recruit Adel, Rylando, and Syre for diplomacy before level 20, but there are no instructions that others can do it (idiotic rule #1)). The start wasn't very good, even though it's Izra, there's little money and a very long respawn – 3 days to reach the treasure, and I don't see a second exit. As a result, in the treasure on level 115, I encounter a block of 20+ groups of creatures or artifacts (I ask about a restart, and they say to look for a second exit (idiotic rule #2)). I had to search for it through the snow without skeletons; it's naturally at the other end of the respawn and on the sand:mad:. Okay, let's move on; there's a small treasure, then a teleport, and then GGR, genies for a chest, and nothing else is visible. I enter the teleport, and of course, it leads to a swamp!!!!!!!:smile54:. Well, I managed to defeat the guard and started to retreat. I spotted a gnome camp in the respawn, bought what I could, and sent a weak unit there; it reached level 20, and there's a prison nearby, guarded by a pack of rovers. I decided to take it, gave all the mages, and there, a level 10 archer with ranged attack takes the gnome camp. I create a chain back to the block, and only at the end of the second turn, I'm there. After buying and reinforcing what I could, I defeat the creatures there, gaining 10k experience. I level up air and wisdom. In the next zone, I take a chest with 50 wolves; there's a water book for a hundred creatures, but nothing else interesting. In the next zone, there's a village, and then just empty walking. I attack a group of cows for the Pandora artifact; there are 45 of them, and I have 200 skeletons, a hundred or so gremlins, and the rest are minor units. It took a lot of mana, but I lost only 50 skeletons and a ballista. In Pandora, I gain 15k experience. Next, I enter a sandy zone and decide to take the prison guarded by creatures. They beat me up, and I'm left with only skeletons and wolves, but the zone turns out to be rich in hives; while I collect them all, I also find a library and a vampire cloak. Then, the blue player arrives, and a dilemma arises: where to go? I decide to accumulate mana and run home, taking the treasure along the way. I rush home; the blue player, with a dragon, defeats a couple of my weak units. I decide to steal the Pandora artifact from under the nose of his army of storm elementals. There's the entire 4th level of magic, but the teleport fails; there are no 4th-level guilds, and I can't use the teleport (idiotic rule #3). I have to retreat with the army. The blue player starts to pursue me; the army consists of a horde of ducks, a mosher from the castle, and a group of vasas (I only realized at that moment, or perhaps later, that he had a diploma, although I'm not sure if he received it on one of the levels, but I refused it on one of the levels). Next, I decide to take the water book guarded by creatures, and at the same time, get about 70 skeletons. I take it, defeat Izra, and rush to the capital, but the blue player catches up. Mass haste and vivas take down 300 skeletons in one hit, and then all the ducks. I thought about surrendering immediately and not wasting time, but I thought that I had a treasure in the swamp, and there's a lot of good stuff there. After buying and reinforcing the remaining units in the capital, I head there. First, in the sands, I get 15k gold for defeating a group of genies. Then, in the swamp, I start collecting clues and Pandora artifacts, but the opponent starts to catch up very quickly. I think that the blue player took the boots in the swamp that I had in my respawn (probably my mistake; I never managed to kill the group of elves; at first, they would have defeated my gremlins, and then I didn't have time for them, but that was a mistake). In the end, I run through the entire swamp into the underground; he follows, only having earth vision:confused:. Then, entering the underground, I take the sanctuary with air vision:eek:. It's just crazy. Next, I find a village near it, along the way, clues, and a prison guarded by psychics. Here, I make a small mistake and let the opponent catch up with me after a day. In the final battle, the chances were initially minimal, and they ended when there were 10 units against 40 ducks. I wanted to buy my way out and run away behind the ducks, but there were shackles. Thank you for the game.

I don't understand what's going on with these heroes? Did you choose them yourselves?

Added after 33 seconds
and what's with that Jelu there too???

Fire, you're always in the know :D
They're playing with all random heroes. And Jelu is just an observer.

The HeroesWorld vs. Gamerhome match is declared over. The score in random maps is 5-2 in favor of the Chinese team, and the score in fixed maps is a draw, 2-2. According to our players, the last game on 8mm6a is no longer of interest, so it will not be played.
Thank you to all the players for participating in the match and to the viewers for their support.
I think the match was a success and helped to expand our Heroes community and facilitate an exchange of experience with the Chinese. I see that our regular players also want to play with them, and I hope that this time the contacts with the Chinese will continue even after the tournament. Fortunately, GH is already considering inviting our players to their tournaments, and I suggested creating a thread on the topic of fan games.
In conclusion, I would like to quote the Chinese player anny_nini

As we all know, the number of H3 players has been decreasing over the years, thus we should cherish any friendly communication no matter where he is from

That's why I do all this. But constant statements in the spirit of "the Chinese are like this, and the Poles are like that" (and not only on our resource) do not contribute to strengthening relationships. In my opinion, the Heroes communities are not in a position to continue living in isolation. Oh yes, one more piece of advice: take off your rose-colored glasses and realize that it's not just in the CIS that people know how to play Heroes.

StickyFingaz, respect for organizing, even though towards the end, he started to not care anymore :D. I watched the events with interest.
The Chinese took this matter very seriously:smile42:.

Oh yes, and one more piece of advice: take off your rose-tinted glasses and realize that it's not just in the CIS that people know how to play Heroes.

Golden words! Very accurate.

I also almost believed it out of habit:D. In this pleasant and flattering nonsense for Russian players:D.

Dirty, maybe you could organize an offline tournament with the Chinese? To somehow redeem yourself? :D :D

This would be a truly inter-portal tournament, and not like with heroesportal. Constantly the same faces, and it's unclear whether it's on HP, HB, or just one resource))) :D

heroesportal vs heroesworld vs gamerhome - offline?

I heard that the Polish players have different rules than everyone else... what are the specific differences in their rules?

The first match [URL] took place two years ago and ended in a draw, 4-4. Last time, the match didn't generate much excitement, and the team, frankly, didn't play with its best lineup. This time, I hope the Chinese won't get such an easy win :smile53: and the ХВ team will win.

...

I will be assembling the team based on the following criteria:

Sticky, you'll have to explain to the Chinese now that you were the one who assembled the team, according to your criteria, and you didn't choose the strongest players (there wasn't my favorite, Pete, and even the great loser Alex) :)
Just kidding, I'm just teasing and provoking healthy anger ;)
But in general, well done to all the participants and the judge!
