Inferno - A town for true masters of the game, who can turn a definite underdog into an unexpected winner. (S) from physical education

Guys, what's going on? Did Conchita actually marry Pablo? Or is he the father of her child, kidnapped by gypsies?)
P.S. What a circus. Did anyone at least write to them on ICQ and discuss the issue?

In a pleasant female voice: Were you offended and insulted? Are you sad and lonely? - Come to the VT chat, we will comfort you!

Has anyone at least written to someone on ICQ and discussed the issue with them?

No, they're just sitting there, waiting for you to give the signal. P.S. It would be nice to launch a good photoshopped image here...

Man, this is just a tournament to learn how to play, not some important one. But the spirit of Heroes still prevails here. By the way, I checked the saves, and I actually liked how blue played better. I didn't understand why red stubbornly ran along the rough road, having a rather weak guard on the short road. But it's clear that these aren't official saves, anyway.

I read through the argument. Kilgor, facepalm. To get so upset just because someone told you that you play well – that takes some effort.

You need to win 2 more matches, and then you'll be disqualified from the tournament.

But the spirit of Heroes lives on here as well.

This is much better than what's happening in the in-game chat.

You just need to win 2 more matches, and you'll be eliminated from the tournament.

Yeah, I'll have plenty of time to lose twenty more times; it's not a problem for me.

Guys, what are you doing, attacking this guy? When I was a newbie, I also constantly looked at guides, templates, and had a pen and notebook. Over the past year, I've filled almost an entire 96-page notebook with different ideas and notes about the game. I wrote down the priority of neutral unit movement, building layouts on a grid, battle strategies, and a whole lot of other things. The only difference was that I couldn't download videos or watch streams properly, so I had to do all this myself. As for whether he's complaining or not, of course, he is. This might be the first tournament he's played with other people, and no matter what his level is, it's probably the toughest psychological challenge for him. I'm just amazed by people who attack someone for no reason, especially when he played the game at a level that's slightly above what some people think it should be. I don't see any "sobbing" from Pomidor here. He's just trying to defend his point of view, and it's clear that he's genuinely upset about the possible unfair disqualification from the tournament, and he's expressing a strong desire to participate in it. And that's perfectly fine!

I completely agree with Andrey; he’s right.

I fully support Andrey; he's right.

+1. I declare a "hunger strike": there will be no streams until the "matter" is reviewed at an "open hearing".

17.01.2012. Group D. Scooter72(red, Necropolis, Clavius, Galthran) def MoM(Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2SM4d(3) 146

Restarted with MoM, he once on 111, I twice on 111, also had a tech restart due to the hero's starting level...

111 Scouted the area, a Dwarf Cottage was nearby, a Tree of Knowledge + not far from the castle near the road a Naga Bank...
In the tavern, both heroes are Necro, one of them is Galthran... Naturally, I take Galthran as my main and off we go... :)
I buy GM1 in the castle... I buy a total of 3 heroes, one of them is a miner (+1 Sulfur) I spread out in two directions, on one side immediately near the castle I hit a guard obstacle. With Galthran, I run down the other road to the end, breaking weak mobs along the way.

112 I notice I ran past the "Amulet of the Necromancer" which was lying almost next to the castle, how I didn't notice it I don't know... I turned Galthran around to break the block to the amulet...
With Clavius I found Sulfur in the same direction, also behind blocks... I run with Galthran for the amulet, then for the Sulfur... I heavily mess up the chain... I buy another hero.

113 Messing around with heroes, clearing mobs, gathering gold :) ... Ran to the Sulfur, took it, not enough Sulfur :( ....

114 Scout hero on the second road hit a block of upgraded Water Elementals. Scouted near the castle a Pandora's Box and a Dragon Fly Hive for 10-19 Unicorns...

115 Messing around with heroes, clearing mobs, gathering gold ;) ... silly mistakes.... :p I realize there's no more Sulfur to find, buy a market...

116 I break through 10-19 Air Elementals blocking the sawmill and the path to a clearing near the castle. There's a Stables nearby, I get a speed boost...

117 I send scout heroes to the clearing... In the castle I build Cavaliers in the Citadel...

121 I find a Dwarf Cottage in the clearing with scout heroes... I run there with Galthran. I buy Nagash... I pass the Cavaliers to Galthran via the chain...

122 I clear 2 minimal Dwarf Cottages.

123 Galthran already has 150 Skeletons. 5 Cavaliers. 7 Liches. I run off-road to take the scouted Pandora's Box and Dragon Fly Hive for Unicorns.

124 I build a Castle. Galthran levels up on the way to the Pandora's Box.

125 I take the Pandora's Box for 5000 experience, the Dragon Fly Hive gives 8 Wyverns. I lose 1 Cavalier against the Unicorns... :( I build a City Hall.

126 I run with Galthran to the Naga Bank near the road. Along the way, I take a minor Crypt. There were 2 Naga Banks, one was near the road, the other was 1 day's travel from the road.

127 I take the Naga Bank... 6 Nagas per stack... I build Dragons... I turn Galthran around to break the block of Water Elementals to the Barbarian secondary town...

131 I break the Water Elemental block. Next to it is an off-road path to MoM's secondary town... I pass the troops to the scout hero, break the off-road block to the Opponent's secondary town...

132 I run with Galthran to my secondary town... I leave 8 Wyverns with the scout hero and run with the scout hero off-road to the Opponent's secondary town...

133 I break the Barbarian castle at my secondary town... I see not far away a Pandora's Box guarded by upgraded Nagas 10-19. I run with Galthran there off-road.

134 I take the Pandora's Box. It gives 18 upgraded Ogres :smile35: ... I turn around towards home...

135 I find the castle at MoM's secondary town with a scout hero. Galthran has 335 Skeletons. 8 Cavaliers. 3 Dragons. and some small stuff... leveled up to 13. expert Earth, expert Logistics, expert Armorer...

136 I take the Necro castle at MoM's secondary town with a scout hero. Above, I see a neutral dwelling with Cavaliers for 50-99 Arch Liches + Boots of Speed. I turn Galthran there...

137 There I also find a cyclops stockpile. Galthran runs to the target... I build a chain from the castle to Galthran...

141 Galthran takes the minimal cyclops stockpile. A scout hero reaches an artifact for attack "Maces" behind Ogres...
Another scout hero at the Barbarian secondary town finds gloves in a skeleton...

142 I take the Cavaliers, get a speed boost at the nearby Stables. Level up at the Arena... Equip the boots... Bring the gloves via the chain...

143 I head towards MoM's main... Troops gradually trickle in via the chain... Money starts running out... Even though the Capitol has been built for a while...

144 I take a Naga Bank on the way to MoM. I stop Galthran near a block on his territory... I get a speed boost at an Angel... Luckily there's a Light spell that reveals the Opponent's territory... He shouldn't catch me on the move, no enemy heroes are visible nearby...

145 I see MoM's empty castle.... I reach it the next day... Kyrre is not visible nearby...

146. The last batch of fodder trickles in via the chain from my main... I see Kyrre near the Castle... I attack...
I see the odds are not in MoM's favor, I have 550 Skeletons and loads of everything else... If you remove the Skeletons, the chances are about equal :) ...
We hammer each other... MoM surrenders... Mine took it!!! :smile03:

Thanks for the Game!!! :)

So, there are quite a few strong players participating in the tournament, and no one said that Kilgor is some kind of mega monster, Father... The point is that before the tournament, all players who registered on the forum after the tournament was announced had their gaming experience verified, and their game saves were reviewed. Kilgor's provided game saves from Dogbas + a report demonstrated a low level of gameplay, especially considering that he managed to attack with only archers (leaving a pikeman in the castle) without any support against a gnoll, and expected there to be a maximum of 50 of them instead of 99... :confused: Naturally, after reviewing the game, we allowed Kilgor to participate in the tournament as one of the beginner players!

No one is offending anyone; I'll explain why a piece of paper and a pen are needed. For example, my mage attacks deal 8 damage (with the hero), and golems have 10 defense. So, 10-8 = 2 * 2.5%, which is 5% damage absorption. I have 10% increased ranged attack, so a total of 5% increased damage. 2-4 damage * 1.05 * the number of units gives us how much damage I will deal to golems with each shot.
I know physics well, and I also calculate battles with creatures; is that really so difficult?
And as for chains, don't say that... In the game with the creature, everything was bad. They did reach their destination, but I had to go back a third of the way to retrieve my troops, and once, nothing worked out at all....

111 -- I decided to divide the troops: 14 archers and 3 spirits headed upwards, along with a ballista and Rion to talk to the gnolls. I left the rest in the castle to deal with the gnolls that were blocking the stables.
112 - An epic defeat of the ballista, archers, and Rion. There were about 80 gnolls; they crept up and silently attacked my archers (there was a moment when the archers tried to run away, and anti-morale was triggered on them), but the suffering didn't end there. After attacking the gnolls (~32) with skeletons and halberdiers, the gnolls started to gain morale, and as a result, 30 halberdiers fled from the battlefield.

If you can calculate so well and know physics, why did you attack 50-99 gnolls with 14 archers and 3 spirits?

Yes, maybe it deserves respect, but I'm just saying it's frustrating; I prepared, watched a lot of streams on CM, and then this happened...

And, lo and behold, after watching streams for a week, we already have

115 I replenish mana, run to attack hydras. The hydras (9) fall in one or two turns; I take a +3 speed artifact and open the dungeon, and there's a 10th grindstone.
121 I kill 15 manticores and take the Sky Shield (+50% air damage).
122 I use the grindstone to replenish mana and go to the stables.
123 I run to the fourth castle with the grindstone and mana, and the cockroaches eat everything they can.
124 After losing some golems and a few gremlins, I take the fourth castle.
125 I use the grindstone and run to the second outpost, hoping it leads to the Overworld, but it turns out to be a treasure room. I kill about 70 cyclops (sweating a lot, but without losing a single angel, only 20 gremlins and a few units), and I take the Boots of Speed.
126 I clear the treasure room, killing about 80 minotaurs for the Helm of Divine Grace.

The amazing preparation with Anton helped!!! He really wanted to get into the tournament, so he prepared for 3 months and registered as one of the last players, when there were no more places in the tournament...

scooter72 I confirm. It's very frustrating to lose two games in one day. I lost winning matches. It's especially upsetting about the game with scooter. It turned out terribly stupid :((( I don't want to continue playing anymore. It's a pity.

And lo and behold, after watching streams for a week, we already have

Why not? It's not like we're micro-managing.
