8.02.2012 Amiloo(blue, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Piterius(red, conflux, random, Monere) 135
At the start, we sorted out all the restarts and set off.
111 - no lizards, scattered into 7 heroes on serpents, on the road a Dragon Fly Hive for 20-49 gnomes and an external dwelling of gnolls.
112 - I pick up a secondary dungeon, along the road an external tavern and a bunch of prisons, which is very encouraging, I break through the guard of the Dragon Fly Hive - small, a Ciele comes out of the prison, external dwellings of Wyverns and Hydras are visible.
113 - I bring 2 ducks from home, pick up another 2 from the external dwelling, take a mini Dragon Fly Hive with Tazar, go break 5-9 Efreeti for a shield +5. 2 turns from the castle I find a КВ for 20-49 Thunderbirds.
114 - I run to the Griffin Conservatory - 20+ giants, not bad, take the shield with Tazar, hit a mini gnome dwelling, break into the dungeon to take a Pandora's Box behind the mummies to level Tazar a bit, there's also a Dragon Fly Hive and another external dwelling of Wyverns.
115 - in the dungeon a portal for another +2 Wyverns, Tazik takes the Pandora's Box for experience and levels up like a god (earth, attack, tactics, logistics, intelligence), though the single point of knowledge is worrying. I take another pre-mini Dragon Fly Hive and the 2nd external dwelling of Wyverns.
116 - with Tazar take a Naga Bank, a Pandora's Box for all of level 1, break back home, build a chain to take the Hydras for 10+ gr. Cyclopes. Ciele takes the 2nd human town.
117 - take the external dwelling of Hydras, at home 1-4,6,7 in the castle, buy the hydra in the dwelling and build the castle in the last 4 seconds of the turn like a pro :)
121 - Tazik takes the mini Griffin Conservatory, Sphere of Earth, directs his steps to take the КВ.
122 - take the КВ, boost up at home on gr serpent, for all the cockroaches on the serpent I plot cunning plans to enter the center.
123 - on the way to the Griffin Conservatory I take a Dragon Utopia 2-ku, get a cap device and red boots :) at the cost of 2 ducks and meat, with 38 ducks and negr. hydras I go to the Griffin Conservatory.
124 - break into the center, immediately grab a hat for +12 behind the trolls, right there take the castle, happiness exists.
125 - because the opponent is sitting far away on the respawn (checked with views from week 2, Nelka luckily took air), I calmly start eating everything with a boost, give multi-mana to 2 more cockroaches, in the Pandora's Boxes there's meat, in the Dragon Utopia a red orb and shield +4 all arrive.
126 - Tazik knocks out wings for 30 angels, another small Dragon Fly Hive, take the dungeon, scatter scouts in the center, the op is still at home.
127 - Cockroaches with mana jump around trying to squeeze something out and I find a sword +5 all, Tazik with a boost at the Pandora's Box behind the Bone Dragons. Ciele at home found and ate another external dwelling of Hydras.
131 - from the Pandora's Box I got 3 black ones :) another Dragon Utopia, from there КЗ, a kettle and a hat 5 lvl. With Tazar into the dungeon, make 1000 mana, prepare for the exit.
132 - Dragon Utopia with a cockroach - pendant +3 all, shield +12, break through the opponent's Griffin Conservatory - 25 gr. hydras, equip the orb and go prove it. In the pocket 76 ducks with upgrade, 13 gr hydras stats 23 43 I'm not afraid of anything.
133 - just run through the opponent's respawn.
134 - I sit in his castle, scattered cockroaches around the respawn.
135 - opp writes gg.

Thanks for the game, it was very exciting. The opponent was really unlucky with the spawn, whereas at my home everything was ok + the amulet of speed at the start really helped development.

12.02.2012 Tomash (blue, stronghold, Gundula, Gundula) def Dogbas (red, rampart, Mephala, Mephala) Jebuss Cross, 145

It turned out to be a very long game. First, we used up all the restarts. I got chocolate twice with 2 external bear dens near the castle, once my opponent took a respawn, once I charged off to hit a Pandora's Box of 90+ mummies, didn't spread out well, the ballista couldn't hold up, the curse on the goblins and no one's going anywhere... a loss, took 112

In the end, it gave both of us complete trash. I had 1 Dragon Fly Hive, an external dwelling of bears, goblins, wolves, and a Dragon Utopia. That's it, no more objects on the respawn. Literally.

In the first week, I upgraded the hounds, took a 20-stack of dwarves, barely squeezed in the bears, took the external dwelling. On the positive side, in the skeletons I found traveler's gloves and boots, a +4 hat, +1 all stats body armor. GO of 50-99 unicorns, didn't want to go in without oil... Gundula is leveling with 5+ skills: logistics, air, armor, earth; truth be told, because of this abundance, offense remained basic... Bears in the castle.

In the second week, I found a Pandora's Box deep in the respawn; the minotaurs went mindless - minus 20 dogs, +15k experience, expert air, logistics, wisdom; offense didn't even advance... Checked the Dragon Utopia - a small one, decided to take it on day 131. While I was messing around on the respawn, I built a Wyvern dwelling in the swamp secondary hero; the only Dragon Fly Hive turned out to be for 6 :( .... I'm clearing for experience all the guards I can reach, and with expert logistics and a set of boots+gloves, I could reach almost everything...

On day 131, I lost everything except the bears; I take the Dragon Utopia on day 2, a Gladius of +12 attack and heresy... but that was enough. I upgrade the bears, mass haste, attack over 20, Gundula, even without oil, cuts down the GO without losses. Immediately a Dragon Fly Hive, again a small one, a Naga Bank; I move everything further into the center; air scouts show that the opponent hasn't even approached his GO. Calmly I take a couple more Dragon Fly Hives, all small as luck would have it, Pandora's Boxes for experience and 15k gold; I bring up the swamp meat, take 2 more Dragon Utopias, again a Gladius, a +4 +4 hat, Orb of Inhibition, Cloak of Undeath; seems useful, but the stats are far from uber, and it doesn't give control :confused:

Only at the end of the week, on the ground, behind a laughable guard, I find Wings; a few more Dragon Fly Hives; a Dragon Utopia with a +4 all stats shield, +2 all stats boots, Sphere of Vulnerability (not so useless, if we assume the opponent has dragons), Sphere of Earth, Water... From a prison, I free Tiraxos of level 30, expert attack, tactics, logistics, pathfinding... but not a single magic school - not suitable for serious fights.

Again on the ground, behind Fairy Dragons that fled, I take the Air Book, a +5 all stats sword. The last skills gave me tactics and water; I wasn't against it. The treasure zone was almost exhausted; the artifacts seemed decent; I have the Cloak of Undeath, mass haste, mass slow, mass cure, and mass bless; I decided it was time to wrap things up. Out of 10 Dragon Fly Hives, I managed to gather only 59 Wyverns...

On day 141, I upgrade them in the swamp, bring in the bear growth; on the way, I take the Water Book and charge towards my opponent through his still-uncleared GO. On day 145, the meeting; Mephala, without leaving the respawn, gathered 77 Wyverns; her stats were worse but decent; Gold Dragons, a level 5 hat, Earth and Fire books...

The finale was tense; I doubted for a long time whether to wear the red ball or the cloak. In the end, I decided that having 3 expert magic schools with mass spells of levels 1-2, the cloak is more profitable, especially since with the Sphere of Water my bolt hit for 900+

In the end, the opponent had only oil, and blind. I didn't reveal my mass water, and responded to his blind with oil, to the second blind I responded with mass haste; he believed in his blind and went forward, revealing his formations; in the end, when I used mass cure, my troops were under haste, his under oil; plus, 2 rounds of his magic went to waste...

The Wyverns hit, the bears hit; they went mindless and hit again... In the end, out of 77 enemy Wyverns, 13 remained; the dragons stood pinned down by Dendroid Guards from the Pandora's Box; 96 elves dealt laughable damage even with no melee penalty; 14 horses looked warily at the bears, knowing they were next in line for annihilation... The opponent writes GG

A long game, strange respawns; I doubt I could have played significantly better; I didn't lose the bears; earth wasn't given on the first week, so exiting to the center on day 132 was inevitable...

Although the opponent had few decent external dwellings, he had a bunch of Dragon Fly Hives; IMO, if he had better timed their capture in a chain, starting with the weakest guard, he could have exited to the center in the middle of the second week, and then it would have been a completely different game... :smile14:

In any case, thanks for the game; although starting from the middle of the 3rd week, when I got the red ball and the cloak, and the opponent sat on his respawn, I believed I would win; but the finale frayed my nerves considerably

12.02.2012 Tomash (blue, stronghold, Gundula, Gundula) def Dogbas (red, rampart, Mephala, Mephala) Jebuss Cross, 145

The respawn point was large; there were many hives, two trees hidden nearby, and some archers. There were also two Dragon Utopia creatures and one conservator (2). I took all the hives with around 80 lives each, and the Dragon Utopia creatures gave me two level 5 artifacts and a book of fire. At the respawn point, I found a book of earth. As for parameters, I didn't find anything anywhere, which ultimately decided the game in favor of Gundula.
Thank you for the game.

10.02.2012 Javdet(blue, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Kilgor(red, rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 143 Jebus SOD

The start was sluggish. Tazar bought offense and air. By day 117, I leveled everything up, just in time to pop around 30 green dragons near the earth book. Day 123, ГО falls, I take the castle and the air book. Scouting shows that the opponent is unrealistically far away, so we save. Then I messed up with the chupa. Got distracted, and in the chaos forgot to equip the just-won crown to Edric. The fairies hit mercilessly. The mistake cost half the army.

Gradually, I took control of all respawns except the opponent's. Two swamps built, a third on the way, plus a castle. But Kyrre showed up with stats twice as high, though her only decent army unit was 12 gold dragons.

Thanks for the game.

10.02.2012 Javdet(blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Kilgor(red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 143 Jebus SOD

I confirm.
My starting position was difficult.
On one side: 2 dragon lairs and 5(!) cans.
On the other side: There's almost no money on the starting position; it feels like the balance is off; out of the 5 cans, 4 are level 1; a third of the starting position is cut off by a block, and besides the dragons, there are no other lairs. I had to play without archers (they didn't come with the heroes) and upgraded knights.
Even considering all of this, I could have won if I hadn't made mistakes.
1. On turn 117, I couldn't take the dragon lair; I was 220 MP short.
2. I misclicked and accidentally cast a spell, killing 2 angels.
3. The bears... they really got to me!

Thanks for the game!

10.02.2012 herolwy(blue, stronghold, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) def Magl(red, rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 133

I had sp+1 and learned expert haste. I took a Utopia at home and got speelbinder's hat. I went into the desert, and fly into a Dungeon town on 132. Luckily, Ivor was near the town. And on 133 I attacked him. He had only 10 spell point.

Confirm.
Lucky Tyraxor entered in center and immediately find town which I had been looking for 4 days before.
Good game.

02/13/12 Messiah (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vatya (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 146
First distribution +5k +5k experience, restart opponent at 112.
The second one was surprising: right away, in the city overview, there were 2 outer dragon dwellings, one troglodyte dwelling, and 1 manticore. I checked, and there were 2 more Hive dwellings nearby. It turned out to be more difficult than expected. The first Hive dwelling had weak guards (ogres), but the Hive dwelling was maxed out, and the dragon dwelling had liches 10+ or monks 20+ guarding it, and they also had boots, all on the road.
I went for the liches, but they were under 20, so I retreated. I had to wait for my army. By turn 117, I only took 1 dragon, and in the city, I had 1-4 and a portal (medusas). I took useless diplomacy and then ballistics from the scholar((..
On the second turn, I take the 2nd outer dragon dwelling and scout the direction: 2 Naga utopias, banks, cons 3+3, Hive 8, and 2 more outer dragon dwellings. With significant losses, I gradually take all of this, and after the +10 growth, I break through to the center through them. I managed to grab my piece of the center just in time; Kirr had been running around there for a week.
Thanks for the game!

13.02.12 Messiah (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vatya (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 146
First round: +5k +5k experience, opponent restart on 112.
The second one surprised me: immediately in the city overview, 2 external dragon dwellings, one troglodyte dwelling, and 1 manticore dwelling. Ran around, nearby there are 2 more Dragon Fly Hives. Turned out not to be simple. The first Hive had weak guards (ogres), but it was a max Hive; the dragon guards were liches 10+ or monks 20+ also guarding boots, and all of this on the road.
Went for the liches, turned out to be under 20, lost my army. Had to wait for more troops. By 117 only took 1 dragon; in town I had tiers 1-4 and a portal (medusas). Picked up useless Diplomacy and then Ballistics from a scholar ((..
On the second week I took the 2nd external dragon dwelling and scouted the direction: 2 Dragon Utopias, nagas, banks, Griffin Conservatories 3+3 Hives 8, and another 2 ext. dragon dwellings.. With heavy losses I gradually cleared all of this and after the growth of +10 black dragons I broke through to the center through those same dragons. Managed to grab my piece of the center just in time; Kyrre had already been running around there for a week.
Thanks for the game!

That was a game for sure.

From the start, Ivor in the tavern plus native, but only with Centaurs. Below the town, an external dragon dwelling guarded by 20+ green minotaurs. A Pandora's box revealed, guarded by 10-19 trolls, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a Dragon Utopia. I decided to continue, as the layout seemed okay. But that turned out to be practically everything. For useful things, there was one external dwelling each for the rest, and a Griffin Conservatory guarded by troglodytes (turned out to be a tier 2 dwelling). I decided to build dragons in the fort, but for some reason I upgraded the archers, and the dragons were no longer buildable, and the castle couldn't finish in time. Kyrre was level 2 by 117 :eek: somehow I had more work for Ivor. GO double 25 angels + 4 Ruby, no agility armor, I don't go for the second one.

On 131 I burst into the center and almost immediately ran into blocks of 50-99 bears and 50-99 green cows :smile45: still no agility armor... Had to hit-and-run, low mana, so I portaled home 3 times to replenish.

In short, we crawled around the center until both had stats 30+ (I took 7 Dragon Utopias, opponent apparently 6). I attacked Shakhter in the castle, and there were 15 black dragons there, a surprise... An explosion of 4K doesn't kill geese and dragons in one go. In the end, exchanging explosions led to me being left with 10 green efreets + 3 arch devils, while the opponent had some junk but more stacks. Just enough to escape and tomorrow wipe out all that junk with a cape or orb.

Manacles... epic fail... Zeke level 30 took the main town, but out of some stupidity I left it (it was already 5 or 6 AM), and in the end the main hero recaptured the horses, Shakhter portaled there. GG...

I would like a table.

The match R55Max - CryptoNight will be replayed from the start. A few days after the game ended, it was discovered (as seen in my report) that I made a mistake and committed a rule violation on the final day; I performed a 2dd (unintentionally) for the sake of taking one extra Dragon Utopia before FB (it played no role, and even decreased my already 100% chance of winning because I equipped the red orb from the Dragon Utopia, although Galtran had no mana at all). But a violation is a violation; as soon as I found out about it, I informed the judge and Andrey. Both gave the go-ahead for a replay. I think there's a 90% chance we will play on Monday.

Match R55Max - CryptoNight will be replayed from scratch. A few days after the game ended, it was discovered (visible in my report) that I made a mistake and committed a rule violation on the last day; I did 2dd (unintentionally) for the sake of taking one extra Dragon Utopia before FB (it played no role, even decreased my already 100% chance of winning because I equipped the red orb from the Dragon Utopia, although Galtran had no mana at all). But a violation is a violation; as soon as I found out about it, I informed the judge and Andrey. Both gave the go-ahead for a replay. I think there's a 90% chance we will play on Monday.

I confirm—it turned out to be a very ambiguous game)) Big thanks to Andrey for mentioning the violation—there was no question of any technical fault, but he suggested a replay) Both parties were fine with this:rolleyes:

16.02.2012 7z(blue, Necro, Galtran, Galtran) def d-neez(red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 221 Jebus SOD

Galtran once again showed what he's capable of. 50 Behemoths on D1D1 (from a Dragon Fly Hive and artifact +1 to all stats). 30 Ogre Magi on D1D2 (from an external dwelling of horses and resources). After the game it turned out that with the purchase of 2 horses, the maximum Dragon Fly Hive could be cleared without losing skeletons, but at the time it was scary to go into it :)

Excellent generation: Griffin Conservatory 3 on the first week and 2 external dragon dwellings. On week 2 (or 3), 3 more external dragon dwellings were found on the respawn. Lots of Dragon Fly Hives (about 30 Wyverns collected from the respawn) and a path to the center through horses.

Cleared the main for a long time, entered the center on D1D24. And it turned out to be nothing special. A couple of Dragon Fly Hives, a Dragon Utopia, and an external angel dwelling. I take the Dragon Utopia, get the Tome of Air Magic. Meanwhile, 3 Necromancers are running around the main, gathering 100-200 skeletons per day.

I see the opponent, whom I lead by 5-7 in all parameters, and I rush to attack. On this turn, the opponent gets the Chalice, and I decide to bring the skeletons from the main and the rest of the growth. The opponent hides in his main.

I have no desire to go at the opponent (parameters are approximately equal, he has a lot of troops there, albeit less). I break into the lower empty respawn and break through the GO to the upper one (empty). I gather the best stuff from the bottom, finish clearing my native respawn. I didn't have enough heroes for the upper one. The opponent sits in the base and builds a Mage Guild in an attempt to find control.

The opponent sits in the main, while I gather skeletons, clear respawns, and build Archangels. After building MG5 and getting "Necropolis Control", the opponent rushes into the final battle.
2 rounds and 15 Archangels, 50 Wyverns, 25 Dragons, 40 Horses, and 1,500 skeletons kill everything.

The game turned out drawn out, but interesting. After all, even on Jebus Cross, Necros more than live up to their reputation. Thanks for the game.

Confirmed, thanks for the game!

16.02.2012 Browser (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Hitch(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 146

We picked all the rest, I think - the respawn is terribly poor, there's a hydra hiding spot - I went on 112 - on 117, I stuck it into a Citadel. No money, nothing to cut, only run to the GO - along the way, 3 Pandora's boxes - empty, 10k and 45 lizards - with that I went to the GO - 124 or 125, I don't remember, I broke it - I scouted with air and earth, nope - then I saw he had black dragons for the GO - I took hives, KV, KZ, a bow - 40+ Wyverns, 10 hydras - I ran the whole treasure zone, ate - waited for him to come out of the respawn - Sword of Gladius, Shield of Gladius - in the end, when he came out - 25/30 vs 17/15 - he had an orb - almost no losses FB - he bought back with 5 cats and kept dragging the cat by the balls, thinking of catching me or something - the second time, I collected more ducks, there were like 57 of them already, attacked again, killed him. Thanks for the game

That was a game. Thanks for the time!A bit unlucky with the GO, but as we know, luck favors the strongest! Good luck with Maretti and morale!:smile13:
