24.01.2012 momogo(blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) win d-neez (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) Jebus 137

blue has too many nests: 2 green dragon, 4 unicorn, 2 Pegasus, 1 Wood Elf, 2 Centaur .

but Faerie Dragon is too strong.
so, 131 I get gold from 2 Dragon Utopia, build gold dragon.
Then 133 enter the center area, get 3 Angel, some artifact ( orb of inhibition,Dragon Scale Armor, Spellbinder's Hat), access 2 library.

137 I find Shakti only has 25 mana in the city, then I attack and win.

Confirm, thanks for the interesting game!

At first I took all the rest, then the opponent took 113, ruining my setup from the already available 30k+ gold, 7 heroes, 2 Griffin Conservatories and 5 Dragon Fly Hives at respawn. The final layout wasn't bad — 2 native heroes, but right near the castle a roadblock to the secondary areas: 20-49 Evil Eyes + 10-19 Efreetis at the hive. On 117 I had built 123456 in the Citadel, scouted 7 Pandora's Boxes not far from the road and close to each other, the Earth Book behind 5-9 Skeletons, 2 Griffin Conservatories, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, and 4 Dragon Utopias. I decided not to go into any center, and there was plenty to do. On the second, I captured one secondary Castle, built Dragons, took far-away external dwellings of Evil Eyes, Medusas, and Minotaurs, cleared the level-2 Griffin Conservatory, took 3 Pandora's Boxes — 2 for experience, 1 for gold. On the third week I took the remaining secondary, 2 max Dragon Fly Hives, another 3 Pandora's Boxes — 2 with troops, one for 15k experience. The stats on the glowing Kyrre were already off the charts. I ventured into Dragon Utopias building a chain for a town recall, managed to take 2 out of 4 before Kyrre arrived. Useful loot: Sword +5 all, Sandals +2, and Amulet +3+3. I town recall, but only 25 mana and Kyrre is already attacking: 42 Unicorns O_o, 4 external dwellings of Unicorns + a double-secondary built up to 1-6 in the Fort gave a brutal troop growth. As it turned out, if the opponent had worn the red orb, even with full mana, the outcome would have been exactly the same.

Don't panic – it's only been 2 days since the start of the tournament. If he doesn't respond 2 days before the end, then you can panic:smile10:

Confirmed, good luck in the next battles.

Thank you for the game!

match of the second round

Forrest (red Necropolis) def. Vatya (Rampart and Ivory Tower) 133

Used all the rests. It faltered in blocks, but there were a lot of trees. I take a dragon lair on turn 112 and a 6th-level tree, then another 6th-level tree right away. As a result, I break through with 16 Archdevils, 300 skeletons, and 24 Vivicas, an Angel. There's a block with 15 Titans. I take 8 bears from a box for 92 Nagas. I kill the Titans, the skeletons die at a moderate pace. I take the center castle, then a Utopia on the entire 5th level, and another Utopia. My hero has Offense, Water, Earth, and Expert skills. I generate skeletons again, build and upgrade them in the center. The opponent reached turn 132 and was attacked. Mass haste and 400 skeletons, 9 Gray Dragons, and 44 Griffins went first – then the surrender followed. GG. Thanks for the game.

Forrest (red necropolis Gosha) def Vatya (rampart Ivor) 133

Used all rests. Surrendered in blocks, but lots of trees. I take the dragon external dwelling on 112 and the 6th tree, then another 6th immediately. In the end, a forceful push through 16 Arch Devils with 300 skeletons, 24 vamps, and an angel. There is a block of 15 titans. I take 8 bears from the box for 92 nagas. Kill the titans; skeletons are dying at a medium pace. Took the center Castle. Dragon Utopia on the whole 5th, then another Dragon Utopia. Gosha has offense, air, and earth expert. Regenerated skeletons again. Built and upgraded own in the center. Opponent came out on 132 and was attacked. Mass haste and 400 skeletons, 9 grey ones, and 44 geese moved first—surrender followed. GG. Thanks for the game

It happened; I signed my own death warrant at Cherk by leaving necropolis, which I don't know how to play. But the main throw was on 117, when I misclicked and built a town hall instead of a castle :smile18: My mood dropped immediately and a series of stupidity followed (didn't buy meat in the village, didn't unload the long-ears before the goose nest, and as a result, had to break through champs and then the horse external dwelling almost without elves). In the end, the planned push to the center was postponed indefinitely. On 124 I saw the opp's scout near my ГО :eek: This is an epic fail...

Pirat-071 is not responding to pings on Ace at the moment.
I won't be able to play on the weekend.

Please ask the organizer to contact my opponent and clarify things, as they are ignoring me on ICQ.

The first day was promising with Boots of Speed right under the castle, a taken Griffin Conservatory with a dwart, two revealed Dragon Fly Hives, and three Troglodyte stashes. As a result, there were four of them, the respawn was tiny (collected all the gold and only built 12346 in the citadel). GO - 17 Arch Devils, fought with an army of 124 consisting of 16 wyverns, 10 upgraded Harpies, 180 Troglodytes, 2 Angels + singles. Left with 14 wyverns, 4 Harpies, and 80 Troglodytes. Hoped to find Dragon Fly Hives, but all guards were strong, ran around licking my chops for a day, and on day 125 the opponent came out with 8 Angels and started collecting everything rapidly. Ran around a bit more and decided to surrender - no prospects whatsoever. Thanks for the game!

I confirm. Thanks for playing.

25.01.12 Dimast (Blue Rampart Kyrre) def Mefi (Red Castle Turis) 117
We voted for all restarts, the spawn was average, half the respawn on the block of 10-19 chars (only got around them on day 5), ran to Leoni's in the pillar, was given Earth, there are Logs in the hut, Pir grabs Tactics, there's Meph with Log and Pathfinder, took 3 external dwellings of dwarves and one of boards, used them to take an external dwelling of dragons, they killed all my Centaurs on morale, Meph found an external dwelling of elves and another of boards, would take about 7 days, at home there are horses in the castle, there is also an external dwelling of horses and 2 of dragons, a bunch of Dragon Fly Hives. GO or hydras or castle horses, or nagas, everything is easily shot down with oil. On 117, everything comes about the loss, there was one Dragon Fly Hive and one external dwelling of angels, upon breaching which the game was thrown.
Thanks for the game.

When will the lower bracket be available?

On Friday, closer to midnight.
