We took respawn... I got lucky with generations... sometimes Ivor would come, sometimes Kyre... and then we started! I got Ivor again!!! I have 7 bows, but the second hero is a slowpoke with 7 goblins... on day two I spot a horse Pandora's Box near the town and a piece of Griffin Conservatory.. I decide to play... on day 3 I broke the guard of a cave and 40 iron golems with an external dwelling... I leveled up Attack and Archery... I'm standing at the watch tower... the opponent gave me info that GO is not on the road, but I was fine with that... on my turn I spot a respawn... I see another Griffin Conservatory and a passage to the secondary zone guarded by monks and nomads... I realized it won't be easy for him to break through and take a rest... on turn 116 I killed 76 ghosts for a Pandora's Box with 10k experience (so I have Expert Attack, Logistics, Archery, upgraded Tactics and Earth Magic) then a 2nd-level Naga Dwelling and ran to the secondary zone... there was another Griffin Conservatory there but I didn't check it and went straight to the town (should have)... I capture the secondary town and build magic... near the town there were Liches with a Pandora's Box and an artifact... in the tavern Grindan showed up... I bought him and with 6 horses, fairies and air elementals I attack the Liches... and there were 37 of them!!! I fought well and end up with 2 horses... I upgraded Earth Magic to Expert... I gave the army to the horses and rushed to the capital myself... then with the horses I captured a (mini) Griffin Conservatory, a level 20 Dwarf Dwelling, and a Crypt, and with my main I captured a 3rd-level Naga Dwelling... then a couple of Griffin Conservatories (1+3) and it's time to go to the opponent... but I have no money for splitting because I bought a feast for a 4th Griffin Conservatory... which I take with a weak hero and there are +2 angels there... on turn 125 I break Monarchs for a couple of tombs and 100+ Water Elementals for Shackles... on turn 126 I find a Necklace of Curse Negation and Angel Wings in the tombs!!! I run to the opponent... at the fork the road goes to the secondary town and the center... I go to the center and on 1.2.7 I reach Red's capital and capture it... surrender follows!
Thanks for the game!!!

Cobra, what the hell... you set up a Jebus Cross with him? :(

Anyway, I'm waiting until you can play.

Saves. Grazie, Maretti.

Thanks for the game!

20.01.12. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Luna, Galthran) lose Tiamath (blue, Dungeon, Shacty, Shakty), 2sm4d(3), 145.
A very bad game from my side. Had a good chance for winning saving just one day!
We started when I had restarts yet, but it's impossible to restart Galthran. Moreover I had Luna as starting and that also was nice.
111 - 5 heroes, roads are slow, not much gold is seen, Dungeon is upstairs, but I decide to play. One road is leading on the grass secondary town but is blocked by orcs.
112 - small crypt. Found conservatory.
113 - observatory tower shows quite reach Dungeon zone, where I broke. Found that I have 3 roads to towns, but, unfortunately, they are slow...
114 - took Dungeon, found and visited stables nearby. 7 heroes.
115 - first critical mistake ruined quite a lot. The passage to all reaches of Dungeon was blocked by ... a rock (!) which I didn't notice early. Instead of easy birds and early conses I got real problems with building-up my castle and had to fight for every gold pile...
116 - found a portal to treasury, but other side is blocked by lizards.
117 - built birds, no money left. Galthran is on the stables. Only 52 skeletons raised. Founs second conservatory near Dungeon.
121 - sold all resources, bought a new hero and 4 firebirds, took 20-dwarf treasury.
122 - stupid loss of 1 bird. Broke to the next zone with town to collect some skeletons.
123 - it also occurred to be Dungeon... And with a really long road to it. Found there only cloak for magic +2+2.
124 - climbed on the underground observatory tower and saw 2 utopias. Combined with advanced view earth that allowed to build a plan for further game. A wrong one, possibly. I decided to clean up 3 underground treasures leaving one quite big on a surface to opponent.
125 - filled mana in the well and retreated to the capital. Broke to the last of my zones with towns.
126 - a crap like a week ago... Wanted to get to conservatory - but found no way to it, only mountains... Had to lose a day for a trip around.
127 - +2 angels, retreated to the first dungeon to visit stables. Built castle in capital.
131 - walking to conservatory.
132 - +2 angels, got to treasury. With expert earth I found that opponent has an access to it, so I decided to start here.
133 - red orb, 8 wyvren hive.
134 - terrible move. First Mirlanda lost a lot of skeletons fighting for 6 wyvs, than I forgot to remove red orb and lost much more with a battle against 50+ manticores. Got 15 minotaurs-kings in Pandora.
135 - got recanter's cloak and Pandora with 25 medusas after army-consuming battle against 100+ master-genies. Luna got 6 more wyvs. Treasury was finished here.
136 - trying to restore my skeleton's stack. Only 300 left...
137 - +3 angels, +4 wyvs, entered new treasury, finished turn near utopia.
141 - +4 wyvs, utopia with earth book, a minimal-one unfortunately. But still with best possible artifact, probably. Moreover there was 2 parts of AOTD, but marketplaces on 144 didn't bring me the rest... Made double-mana and finished turn at Castle town, that was taken few days ago.
142 - after stables building went to the 3rd treasury zone. +4 wyws there.
143 - +16 wyws, +1 speed. Stupidly lost a firebird and 5 minotaurs.
144 - took the second and the last utopia. Was quite encouraging on entrance - a maximal one. I desperately needed parameters because it's hard to fight with 10-10 against 20-30. Unfortunately the result was Water Tome, Sea Captain's Hat, Big Bag of Gold and Boots of Levitation.
Here Shakty took an utopia near main guards and got my capital. That utopia gave +6 all helm and fire tome. If I played one day faster I could take it and with +12 to warrior's parameters final battle would be much more interesting.
Unfortunately it happened like this:
Galthran (9, 9), 47 storms, 6 angels, 608 skeletons, 9 birds, 8 psi-elementals, 48 wyvs, 44 evil eyes against Shacty (28, 27), 49 minotaur-kings, 23 wyverns, 28 medusas, 54 eyes, 130 troglodytes.
Due to tremendous difference in parameters there was no chances at all.

Thanks for a game.

20.01.12. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Luna, Galthran) lose Tiamath (blue, Dungeon, Shacty, Shakty), 2sm4d(3), 145.

Confirm.

In first week i preper whole game for take mino dwell and blood vial protected by lots ents. In second day i sacrifice scout to scout how many ents are and it was good decision. 40 in 6 stacks would be to much for Shak on 1 level with 100 trogs. Minwhile first week i found second dung. In 117 i take mino dwell and finish in town with POS + 1-5 and 1-3 in second town. I also discovered that i have pretty nice entrance to treasutre zone on grass. I saw ther 2 topes and hive so my plan was go ther as soon as it possible. Before this i take 3 naga banks and build up both castles 1-5 + POS. In third and four week i clear whole treasure zone - was little hard becouse i make few mistakes in battles and lost a lot of meat, but when Pit shows up in entrance to this zone i decide take all i can before he will, no matter of loses. Luckily Pit decide to move back and i had time and reinforcments from new week to take it 4 topes and few hives. I can said i get ther complet stuff of arts to stats. Also received air and fire books, angel wings, wizard hut. My army was smaller then Pit's but in stats i had triple adventage.
I was little affraid that he hide his real stats or thta he can have some magic surprise like berserk or arma. After short mind storm i decide go to him before he gets to much skiele. Becouse i wasnt sure what trap he preper i decided to discrease attack and deffence and increase spell power. Ive missed with this decision but still double stats were better then double army.

Thx for game.

Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Kyrry, Gosha and Aislin) def KobRa (Red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar ) 8mm6a,1.1.7 SoD

Got myself a "chocolate" start. 3 necros, and then an Aislin of level 5 with log falls out of prison; she and Gosha were given land immediately, and it only got better from there - 3 cons are found in one small area, Dragon Utopia, and an elven external dwelling. The AI is easily killed, and there's another con there. By the end of the week, 180+ skeletons.
Vamps protect against an early encounter at the pass. In short, it was just insane.
But things didn't go well for KobRa.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm that after the disappointing defeat against Maretti, I no longer wanted to play.

Mizrael - black_knight, Sky Pioneer - bRitv04ka, today is the last day for you to play.

Sky Pioneer - bRitv04ka - this match revealed some controversial facts. The result of their game is not final.

Mizrael - black_knight - 1:0
[10:45:16] Mizrael [1] vs bkack_knight [0]
[10:45:18] R55Max generate coin - 1

It's a pity that they couldn't agree on a game, and there were no games planned in the near future, so Mizrael, good luck in the future, there's no need to wait until the coin is generated.



The tournament is already approaching its final stage, and there are very interesting games left. I would like all the remaining participants to take their games seriously, and even more seriously to the agreements on the game!

The deadline for the end of the 1/4 finals of the winners and the 1st round of the 1/4 finals of the losers is 01/30/2012

Maretti (blue, Caitlin, Gundula) def Satyr (red, tazar) on 124, 2sm

No restarts were taken. I got a very nice start seeing archer dwell and cav dwell day 1 and got Gundula. Took the cav dwell day 3. Map was fairly rich in gold but I took a long time finding the wood mine. Luckily I just got enough wood day 7 to build cavs. Before that I used Tyris with champions to beat Magi guards to next area, then retreated her to main town so that she could beat pack sharpshooters and take another cav dwell in my area. Moved Gundula close to town to take a min medusa store and get stabels 121. Week 2 I split army to go to both other areas. Gundula had adv view air so I could keep an eye on opponents move. 123 I united the army with 15 champs and went to a t-area. Next day he gave up due to suiciding in a full medusa store.

Thanks for playing.

Maretti (blue, Caitlin, Gundula) def Satyr (red, tazar) on 124, 2sm

Thanks for playing.

I don't remember the last time a map beat me so badly. On turn 121, I attacked 20+ Ogre Mages for a resource and a Gorgon's Head, there were almost 40 of them, and I had 29 Lizards, 5 Wyverns, and some weak units with a level 0 hero. Thanks to the cannon, I managed not to lose, although they put up a fierce resistance. I was left with 3 ducks and 21 archers. On turn 122, in a Gorgon's Head, they managed to kill 10 archers and one Wyvern in the turn I was rebuilding my army:smile21:. On turn 123, I found a level 1 resource (before that, there were two level 3 and 3-4 resources), I didn't have enough money to buy anything, so I decided to attack a Medusa Lair, but I failed. Amen.
Thank you for the game.

24.01.2012 bRitvo4kA (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Sky Pioner (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Galtran), Jebus Cross, 145
On a big resp without a single hive and only one level 2 Griffin Conservatory, but instead a horde of elves and 3 unicorns, with whose help I broke into the center a bit faster. And there, a Kyrre boosted at the stables with Boots of Speed and Gauntlets of Ogre Power was already uncatchable for the unblessed Galtran.

Thanks for the game.

24.01.2012 bRitvo4kA (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Sky Pioner (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Galthran), Jebus Cross, 145
On a big respawn without a single Beehive and only one level-2 Griffin Conservatory, but an external dwelling of Elves and 3 Unicorns, with whose help I broke into the center a bit faster. And there, a Kyrre boosted in the Stable with Boots and Gloves was already uncatchable for a Galthran without Logistics.

Thanks for the game.

In this draft, there wasn't a single normal external dwelling on the main. 2 Troglodytes were found on day 7. The Beehives were all Dragonfly Hordes, nothing to take them with on week 1. I tried to level Galthran, but Skeletons came slowly. On week 2, instead of a quick exit to the center, I had to collect Beehives and Conservatories, and for some reason I ventured into a Dragon Utopia 3, which gave nothing useful, but instead ate my Minotaurs and Troglodytes.
On day 126, I exited through Thunderbirds to the center (they incidentally used Lightning Bolts to kill 2 Angels), but my opponent had already run away along the only road. Catching up without Logistics, Pathfinding, and Control was not possible.
Thanks for the game.
