Besides, no strong player would want to participate in a beginner tournament:smile11:

Well, there were people who wanted to participate, but they weren't selected.

Scorpiona, if a player doesn't have a single game played within, say, 2 weeks during the tournament, what should we do? :)

12.01.2012 group C Dimast (red, Dungeon Shaktii) def Tag (blue Castle Valeska) 2SM4d(3), 127
And again a dungeon. On week 1 I take 2 external dwellings of Evil Eyes at home, another 2 on the secondary, I build 2 portals and an Evil Eye in the Citadel and Fort on week 2, buy out, I get 124 Evil Eyes (could have been 130 but lost 6 in fights), on week 12 I buy all of them and upgrade to Greater Evil Eyes, the crisis is very strong, fortunately many Medusa hives, on week 12 I'm about to take 2 Griffin Conservatories but word comes of a concession. And the opponent refuses from auto. At that moment the heroes have: someone has Earth with Air, Gurney with Air, Shaktii with Fire, etc. I haven't seen such a sweet deal in a long time.
Thanks for the game.

The tournament is called "Novichok-2012. Winter", not "Noob-2012. Winter" :smile04:
So learn from other newcomers how to play!:smile13:
P.S. There are no "dads" among the participants! And none of the strong players would want to participate in a beginner tournament:smile11:

12/13.01.2012 group D
Targat (red Fortress, Tazar, Ciel) def. Chairzard (blue Stronghold, Crag Hack)
We both picked all the resources, the distribution wasn't great, not a single dwelling, just a small piece of land. Luckily, I bought Ciel to counter the archers. There was a mine under the Castle, I captured a secondary Barbarian Castle, broke through the second passage to the grass with Ciel (a group of archmages) and took another Castle (revealed 2 clues and broke through, sent Tazar into the underground - and there were 6 Hives, I took them out in a week + 2 Cons + 3, returned home, took the Tower (book of air, hat +4 knowledge) and then Crag broke through to me, but Tazar with mass haste and 48 ducks did the trick (145 FB).

I don't consider myself a noob, but there's a significant difference in skill level among players.
I hope to at least take 6th place in the group.

01/12/12 A_I_D (Blue, Random, Rampart, Coronius, Mephala) def. Vataya (Red, Random, Stronghold, Gundula, Gundula) 2SM4D (3) 127
After 4 restarts on both sides, we had to play with what we got.
On day 111, Mephala appeared, so I decided to develop her. On the 2nd week, I found 2 elven dwellings and a native secondary resource, and built a dwelling there.
The map turned out to be more than favorable for me, unlike my opponent. Besides the monsters, there were also enough arenas to increase stats (on the last day of the game, the stats looked like this: 6 9 2 2, Earth Magic Expert, Archery Expert. The red player had 3 heroes with starting skills).
It's a pity that there wasn't a final battle, as something went wrong for my opponent, and he decided to leave the battlefield, refusing to finish the game, saying that he wasn't interested and didn't feel motivated.
After loading the game and looking at what my opponent had, I discovered that he had deliberately or accidentally lost his hero. As a result, Vatya agreed to his defeat.

Learn, practice, and seize the opportunity to play against stronger players:smile14:

...or do a broadcast/stream and get support from the chat/a more experienced player :)

I can stream if you explain how to do it, and there's another nuance: sometimes I'm embarrassed to show my actions to the public :D
