As far as I understand, players Demon13, Amisterio, Blastlife, Ihtiandr haven't contacted anyone in 2 weeks:smile29:. No one warned me about their absence either. If these players don't show up before the end of the tournament (or by the time all games in the group stage are played), they will be given technical losses for the unplayed games.:smile19:

I'll stand up for Demon13... :) The guy is playing; I was one of the first to start playing with him, but he currently has little time and a big problem with time zones... :( I think we'll finish our game in the next few days.

Thank you for your understanding; all games will be played by the end of the tournament, according to the rules. Currently, there is almost no time because of exams. Everyone has exams differently; for me, it's like I can't even leave my room.
Currently, there is a saved game with Tootsie Pie (123 or 124). I contacted other opponents, but due to lack of time, no agreements have been made.

probably the most interesting and dramatic game in all my time on HeroesWorld

we didn't take respawns
there are external dwellings of Manticores and Minotaurs, slow roads, Shakti with 2 stacks, level 2 not built,

on week 1 took external dwellings, 2 miniature crypts, water mill, 3 mysterious gardens, prison with a level 1 Zubin, Gnoll chasm, there is a stable but very far away across rough terrain, earned some money and resources, 6 heroes, Minotaurs in the Citadel, by the end of the week had plenty of money could have also built Manticores but never found mercury, Shakti with a group of Minotaurs went to the grass secondary hero

on week 2 at the elven secondary town, lots of money, several statistic boosts, max Dragon Fly Hives, built Mage Guild with Haste, Slow, Shield and Lightning, but no Earth or Air, broke through to the metro near ГО, ring +1/1 luck and morale, bow +5% and helmet +3 knowledge, thanks to expert tactics managed to break through 55 Liches with a group stack behind armor +5 defense and Genies behind shield +6 defense, nearby was a Dragon Fly Hive with 50-99 group Swordsmen which blocked the passage further into the treasure zone, but ran out of mana didn't dare to attack, no one to pass the army to and Shakti spends the night with Evil Eyes (, at home Castle, secondary town Elves

on week 3 thought about going into the treasure zone, but positioned incorrectly and couldn't bring the weekly growth, from the lookout spotted an Inferno secondary town and path to the underground, whether the guard was broken through or not isn't visible but nearby resources are untouched, nowhere to replenish mana, decided to replenish mana in Inferno and go towards the blue player, 133 metro guard not broken through, 134 Shakti took the blue player's capital, which turned out to be
quite close, Dragons built, Castle, Mage Guild 2 with Blind, weekly growth partially bought, Shakti on Pegasi spends the night in the castle, the scout hero sent immediately gets a ticket to the tavern from a scout hero with 4 Angels, either immediately or after a day Ivor returns there are Angels, I don't dare attack the Dragons,

building a chain to bring the weekly growth, Ivor went into the metro, took the Inferno secondary town and blocked the road, Shakti sits in the castle, the weekly growth went back, in the distance on the road Solmyr is visible with 2 stacks of group Pegasi, Shakti could reach him but wouldn't be able to return, lucky that the Demons nearby weren't killed, was afraid there were 4 Mage Guilds and Solmyr would attack with cannon fodder and hit with a chain, as it turned out later in the Inferno secondary town level 3 was built and there was an opportunity to build level 4, Shakti with 6 Pegasi kills Solmyr and crashes into the Demons, made another foray for a statistic boost )

on day 142 had the idea to break through the guard of 100-249 group Pit Fiends and transfer the weekly growth, but Colorado successfully positioned himself in the passage leading to the guard, thought about either going into the metro to army-swap or attacking, on day 143 took pre-max Naga, sold everything to zero, bought Cursed Temple armor, 2 Dragons 2 Unicorns 14 Grand Elite Unicorns + some cannon fodder, in case Shakti couldn't pull it off,

sweated during the most tense final battle, no Air or Earth, 50 mana, Ice Bolt for 170/8, Blind, Slow, Haste, the blue player had 22 mana, closed into the top corner, Ice Bolt into the Grand Elite Unicorns, immediately got mass Slow, Evil Eyes and Medusas chipped away at the Grand Elite Unicorns, Colorado slowly approached, waited, hit with Angels and Dragons, after mass Shield and the first removal of Blind from the Angels his mana ran out, Ice Bolt Evil Eyes and Medusas almost killed the Wyverns, the Ballista helped a lot, which finished off the Grand Elite Unicorns and helped chip away at the Angels, at the end 30 Evil Eyes 7 Medusas remained - no shooting and Ballista, the blue player had 2 Angels 1 Grand Elite Unicorn and tent, the tent countered the Ballista, with a counterattack Evil Eyes managed to kill 1 more Angel, Shackles of War prevented retreat, though there was no money to ransom Shakti anyway

Dessa killed Ivor with the loss of Unicorns and single units, returned the artifacts, didn't have enough movement to return to the Castle, in the blue player's capital single units of Goblins and 2 Centaurs, no change, heroes start gathering towards Dessa, started to worry when I saw Kyrre with 88 Imps 20 Gnolls 5 Dwarves 48 Gogs, 2 single units of group Pegasi and comparable stats, thought that's it, now she'll kill Dessa take all the artifacts and return the Castle, but 2 Dragons and Grand Elite Unicorns held out.

thanks for the interesting game!

From the start, 3 stacks and two native heroes. I see the Griffin Conservatory — ah, beautiful... On the second day I realized that the GO is not along the road. That means either there will be a rest on a fast encounter, or it will be a short game. I clear the blocks to the Conservatory, losing 40 Troglodytes on white Griffins. 112 — the Conservatory turns out to be a single unit, I take it with losses of two Troglodytes and three Harpies.
114 I come up topside and see that there is an immediate transition to the opponent's respawn, the guardians are not cleared. Well, let's see if he makes it there... The external dwelling of birds is visible, but the guards are 20-49 Minotaurs, guarding some other artifact. I pick up a Barbarian secondary hero and see that there is another external dwelling of birds. Well, it's all clear now... I capture the external dwelling, build birds and a portal, two marketplaces. 121-122 I buy out all the birds and fresh Troglodytes and head to the opponent's Castle with an army: 1 Angel, 19 birds, 130 Troglodytes (didn't have enough money for Medusae and Eyes, and that's fine — they'll be a reserve if anything), however just as I reached the Castle, the opponent writes gg.
Thanks for the game!

How can I participate in a tournament?

Where can I find players so we can play right now?

Opp gave me the red color.
We played on fast roads, opp took all the rests, if I'm not mistaken, I took two.
It wasn't SM, but some kind of Jebus Cross, lots of money and pickups, in a word, it was a chocolate extravaganza.
111 - Two native heroes arrived (one of them Fiore), all blocks with Ciele are easily beaten, lookout tower, with it you can see Griffin Conservatory (2), crypt, and passage to the Rampart respawn behind about 30 griffins.
113 - Passage to the Rampart zone.
116 - I take Rampart, split for home, run to take pickups and to the other respawn in the elevator.
117 - I build phoenixes. I go down, there I spot a lookout tower, with it Inferno is revealed, and already captured by blue. I have very big plans in my head....
123 - Finally got ready to take the Griffin Conservatory. Took it and ГО to the opp
125 - I see opp running into a portal, I stay on top to avoid being spotted. Opp attacks and gg.
Thanks for the game!

I don't have the strength to write a detailed report right now (it was a very tough game, for my opponent even more so, I think — we played for about 16-17 hours), and everything is basically in the replays anyway. The starting respawn wasn't super, but not bad — plenty of good crypts, but not much gold, plus one external dwelling — wyverns. A Dragon Fly Hive nearby behind 20+ Storm Elementals (8), a Pandora's Box behind 20+ Manticores (60 Lizardmen). Started off okay — captured everything without major losses, but the exits to the adjacent zone along the paths had 16 Arch Magi and 10+ Snipers. Foolishly, I flew into the first zone with group of Serpent Flies, they got morale and cut down a lot of my troops. Then the Snipers also got a bit of morale and finished off almost everything. In the adjacent zone, with 40+ Lizardmen and 4 Wyverns + some extra troops, I recklessly attacked an Imp cache (40); naturally, morale triggered and they blocked the Lizardmen, I only got out with 20 Lizardmen. Then there was a ton of other trolling — morale on Dragons, Angels, a Pandora's Box behind 143 Magmas giving only 15k experience, etc. The pinnacle was a plague week when I was rushing to cut off all the growth from my opponent and didn't buy out the Lizardmen and Wyverns at home. But overall, at the end of week 3, I freed Kyth at level 10 and started necromancing — fortunately, I had already taken the Boots, and all the Necromancer artifacts were there — Boots, Cloak, and Pendant. My opponent didn't come for me, went to eat treasure zones, while I necromanced and used Gunnar to capture all his towns, shipping out the growth. In Tower, thank God, I caught Dimension Door — taught it to two main heroes and eventually caught Neela replenishing mana in her main hero (although I had already necromanced quite a bit and had a 2-3 times advantage in troops. Spell power was much higher — had Lightning protection, Ice Bolt hit for about 700, I think; combat stats were slightly higher).

Thanks for the game. =)
