01.02.2012 crzq (Red, Swamp, Mirlanda, Alkin) def fazka (Blue, Dungeon, Geon, Jeddite) 2sm4d(3) 123

We played rnd vs rnd. It generated a huge respawn with tons of gold, I built 1-3, 5, 6 in the castle. By week 2, Alkin had Expert Earth with Slow, Expert Defense and Advanced Attack, took a sword +5, losing 1 Wyvern and 1 Minotaur due to my own stupidity. I broke through in the main and, having bought out almost the entire growth, with marksmen and spears from the adjacent zone, headed for the Griffin Conservatory (and the maxims fell without issue), but the generator gave a minimum roll( Then word came of the opponent's surrender — as post-game analysis showed, the opponent had a tiny respawn (with the only road leading to ГО), though with an external dwelling of Minotaurs and a Griffin Conservatory (3), but he barely had enough gold to buy them out and portal them. I was streaming. Thanks for the game!

Finally, I got a magic matchup against a physical strength build :)

When I played on the local Krasnoyarsk portal, Tower was my favorite city, and Solmir was my favorite hero, although the need to build the corresponding level of the magic guild reduced his competitiveness. I still enjoy playing Solmir for Tower.

1.02.2012 Nolife (blue, Fortress, Wystan, Wystan) def Zzzloi (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2см4д3 144

We played Warlords' Tower, slow roads. The spawn was generous — at the respawn there were 2 external dwellings of Gnolls, 1 of Lizardmen, and 1 of Wyverns.
In the first week, I built levels 1-6 in the Castle and took out the Wyverns and the Necropolis.
In the second week, I cleared the underground Dungeon and captured a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns.
In the 3rd week, I took 4 more Dragon Fly Hives in the treasury and the library.
In the 4th week, I spotted Shakti and decided to attack.
144, I besieged the capital. With Wystan, 145 Lizardmen, expert Archery (+ bowstring), and a ballista, he mowed everything down under direct fire. Well, there were also 50 Dragon Flies just in case..

We played WT, slow roads. The spawn was generous: 2 external dwellings of Gnolls, 1 Lizardmen, and 1 Wyvern on the respawn.
On the first week I built 1-6 in the Castle and cleared the Wyverns and Necropolis.
On the second week I cleared the Underground Dungeon and took the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns.
On the 3rd week I took another 4 Dragon Fly Hives in the Treasury and the Library.
On the 4th week I spotted Shakti and decided to attack.
144 besiege the capital. With Wystan's 145 Lizardmen, Expert Archery (+ Bowstring), and Ballista, he mows everything down with direct arrow fire. Well, there were also 50 Dragon Flies just in case..

I confirm, didn't think there were so many changes in WT, would have picked a different castle otherwise

Ihtiandr (Castle, Tyris, Galthran) def Nolife (Fortress, Wystan) 2sm4d(3) 232

The game turned out very long, but interesting.

111
The restarts are over, nothing interesting around, one road from the Castle is immediately blocked by 50-99 thieves, I don't dare to attack right away. The second leads to a portal behind gr. dwarves. I break through with Tyraxor, on the other side – diamond golems. I sacrifice almost all spearmen on them. Tyraxor gets Log – I shove him into the folders. The secondary is Stronghold, a stable is immediately visible, a Dragon Fly Hive and gloves behind 10-19 Evil Eyes.

113
I enter a max-sized crypt, come out with 17 archers.

114
Galthran is the last hero in the tavern. Tyrax already has Adventure Log, Air Magic was given, I think of making Galthran a second front. Behind a block of thieves I notice a Necromancer's cloak behind 10-19 snipers. Also on respawn a Necromancer's amulet behind 10-19 Efreeti.

117
Tyraxor takes the Dwarf Cottage on day 15, I scout the Knight external dwelling, just barely miss it. In the Castle, there are horses in the citadel.

121
I take the Dragon Fly Hive with Galthran against 8 Wyverns (lost a horse on the guard, and another one in the hive), run to take the scouted 2 Dwarf Cottages on the Stronghold secondary, nearby I see a conservatory.

122
I break through the thieves under the Castle with Tyrax, reclaim the cloak, there I also find a scroll with Blindness.

123
I take the Dwarf Cottages, only 100 skeletons, I run to the conservatory.

125
I sacrifice the scout hero in the conservatory – it turned out to be a level 3 one, thought for a long time whether to go in or not, I decide to take it, after all I have Blindness.

126
Took the conservatory, lost a horse, a Wyvern, and some skeletons. Galthran is forcefully given Wisdom as the 4th skill. I take boots, an artifact for +1 morale/luck, there are also cards and a dove, luck is already +3)) I see a passage to a treasury from a strong respawn, but nothing interesting is visible there, I think about where to run.

131
Unable to think of anything better, I run into terra incognita at the bottom of the respawn, towards an expected passage to the secondary, hoping to find a treasure.

132
The secondary is native, but already looted by the opponent, I see a taken Dragon Fly Hive under the Castle.

133
I take the Castle, I realize the opponent's economy is great, there is a municipality in the secondary. Not sure where to run, out of desperation I run along the road in the direction of the opponent.

134
I see a portal on the road near the opponent's main passage, obviously leading to the treasury, I thought the opponent was already there, but decided to check just in case. I enter... Oh, a miracle! No trace of the opponent there, immediately a Pandora's Box behind 50-99 trolls, gave all Air Magic! It wasn't for nothing that Wisdom was shoved in) I decided not to twink further along the underground, ran to the Conflux secondary. With my scouting I spot the very treasury I didn't want to go to – there's a library, I think I need to drop by there.

136
I keep running through the treasury, took 2 Dragon Fly Hives.

137
Another Dragon Fly Hive, a Pandora's Box with 50 Zombies gives Galthran Expert Earth, gave Log. The opponent runs in pursuit.

141-145
I finish clearing the treasure, collected 35 ducks, found Boots of Speed, an artifact for +3 morale/luck. Morale is already +4, luck +6)) I decide to DD and fly to the long-spotted Dragon Utopia at the bottom of the map, hoping the opponent hasn't been there yet. I fly in – the treasure is indeed untouched!

146-221
The treasury turned out to be huge, a bunch of Dragon Fly Hives. The opponent runs to capture my Castle. There are 3 heroes left, I move for 1 minute each, fully fatten up and watch the opponent twink on my respawns. In the Dragon Utopia I got junk – Admiral's Hat, Diplomat's Ribbon, and a Level 5 Hat, which I was given earlier in the Pandora's Box. I find an Angel external dwelling, another Dragon Utopia. The generator keeps mocking me, in the Dragon Utopia I got Tome of Air Magic, but also Titan's Cuirass for Implosion, Necromancer's Boots and Gloves. Then another Dragon Utopia! Gave Angel Wings, Ring of Life for skeletons.

222
I thought the opponent was also fattening up somewhere, decided to capture his Castle, upgrade the Wyverns and replenish mana. Implosion hits for 1875. I run to him.

223
Turns out the opponent was nearby, attacked, and I only have 7 mana. I buy myself off for 60K – tons of gold from the Dragon Utopias.

224-232
I ransom, fly on wings to the opponent, make skeletons along the way. I capture his Castle, to my surprise the upgraded Wyverns weren't even built. I build and upgrade. In the tavern I spot the opponent's huge stats (24 33 21 19 against my 13 19 21 7). It's already 3 AM, my head doesn't work, I attack. I have 5 Angels, 70 gr. Wyverns, 1000+ Skeletons against his 73 Wyverns, 38 Gorgons, 43 Basilisks, 90 gr. Lizardmen, 163 gr. Spearmen, and 90 gr. Archers. My Implosion in the 1st round and GG from the opponent – he had no strong magic.

Even though it was very drawn out, it was interesting, thanks for the game!

Ihtiandr (Castle, Tyris, Galthran) def Nolife (Fortress, Wystan) 2sm4d(3) 232

Confirmed. While Galthran was churning out skeletons and killing 2 treasure zones on the surface, I cleared 2 treasure zones in the underground, there were about 7 Dragon Fly Hives and a Dragon Utopia. Even though I had more stats and troops, the explosion for 2k and 250 mana left no chance for victory. I had Wisdom, but they never gave me any magic..=(

Dear organizer! Please change my nickname in the tournament bracket to PlayHeroes_HP.

3.02.2012 Fellshut (blue Tower Solmyr Solmyr, Ivor) def ariputra (red Castle Valeska Valeska) 2SM4d(3) 135

We didn't play in one day, I don't remember the restarts, I see Ivor came, I see money, I see crypts, Medusa hives, fast roads—let's play))

Week 1 we scout, collect resources for Mages and Nagas, I take the Dwarf Cottage at the end of the week and the external dwelling of Gremlins (also there were 3 external dwellings of Gargoyles—I didn't take any of them)

ГО is very harsh, I don't even think about it, there will be no exit to the opponent in the near future, since the adjacent zones are through wasteland and very far + there's swamp and rocks, I decide to go to the underground, after leveling Solmyr a bit, I clear a Pandora's box of 10k for Crossbowmen on day 121, simultaneously Ivor and a hero from the prison are leveling, the Troglodytes came in very handy))

We enter the underground and upon opening Xylnaga I see 4 tasty Dragon Fly Hives and a Necropolis secondary, due to the lack of nearby wells Solmyr often gets beaten up, no decent artifacts at all.
Anyway, we build chains, take the Dragon Fly Hives, Naga banks, deliver chow, etc., GM3 is built, we collect resources for GM4

The tempo is shit for me, so I take the last Dragon Fly Hive on week 3, build a chain to Ivor, Ivor with Logistics runs to scout, I see more Dragon Fly Hives, the chain is set up just right, but then I see that the Dragon Fly Hive has already been eaten, I kill the scout hero first with a fake, and then with the whole army, there were 200+ Skeletons, Birds, Wyverns, and T1-6 from Castle without Griffins and Monks—morale -3, well, I punished all that almost without losses, then Valeska with 4 Angels and Necro meat manages to smack me around pretty well, but Solmyr was sitting at home just in case with a chain of 400, there was money for GM4 since there was an external market.

Thanks for the game, it was interesting)

What’s the next tournament?

Dear players AlexAG and Demon13, please determine a time when you can play!

4.02.2012 Vampi_r (Dark Jedi) (red, Swamp of Taz'Ar) defeated marader-kisa (blue, Dungeon of Sha'kti) 2SM4d(3) 127
Started without restarts
111, I almost lost all my gnolls - I forgot to split them into single units - I thought I'd take a restart on 112, but then I saw a scout - 2 hidden huts of lizardmen - I decided to continue
116, I took the second structure of Taz'Ar, and they gave me archers 12346 in the castle
125, I waited for reinforcements all week and took crypts to get Pandora for 20-49 droids - there were about 49 of them, and it turned out - I didn't take the dragonfly, I messed up badly, and I didn't buy the book, I was too stingy - as a result, I lost everything except the lizardmen ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( - (they also took some damage), but there is still hope - a lot of money and 2 preserves and a level 10 tank + archers against the lizardmen
127, the opponent wrote gg - the game didn't go well
After the game, I saw that there was a hidden nest of dragons for 20-49 fanatics - Sha'kti can't handle it on the 2nd turn (if there are 49 with morale)
Thanks for the game
P.S.: I ask Tanya to change my nickname to Vampi_r
