15.02.2012 AlexAG (red, Necropolis, Clavius, Clavius) def Scooter72 (blue, Conflux, Luna, Luna) 2SM4d(3) 132
We started the game a long time ago, playing over two sessions, so I remember the first half vaguely...
After the draw, Conflux, Necropolis, and something else remained; I chose Necropolis, the opponent took Conflux and the blue(?) color for balance... As he later admitted - he had never played Conflux before, so it was extremely difficult to get into the game without preparation.
The respawn turned out to be small and relatively poor, so I had to break out almost immediately. I took the external dwelling of vampires and skeletons under the castle, with 8 vampires and 70 skeletons (14 zombies and a couple of gremlins don't count) and attacked 14 gr. swordsmen and 15 gr. basilisks... They thinned out my army considerably - only 43 skeletons remained, but the passage to the secondary with the castle was opened, which had quite a lot of meat for restoring the skeleton stack and further development.
on 117 due to lack of money in the main only 1245 in the Citadel...
on 121-123 I gathered some money on the secondary and went to collect valuables in the corner of the secondary...
as a result, on 124 I took +3 attack, on 125 - a Pandora's box for 5K experience, but I didn't dare go into the nagabank-four (and rightly so)
on 126 I pick up some money in the dwarf dwelling and prepare to break into the main, while setting up the chain...
127 - I take some money from the gr. elves (let them go peacefully to avoid meat losses)... in the main - 12456 in the castle...
131 - I upgrade the skeletons, take one angel, and speed up to clear the road to the second secondary. Skeletons 212, only upgraded ones continue to grow...
132 - I break through to the second secondary, spot a Rampart and a couple of crypts right near the exit there, search one crypt, prepare to take the castle and go down where the second crypt is and, possibly, the passage to the opponent (as it later turned out - it was indeed there)
during the transition, the opponent concedes on the timer and writes GG...
fairness demands noting that at that point the opponent had only bought the psychics, and there were a bunch of unrecruited units in the castle with no money for them, and I would have reached his main in about three days and taken/blocked him
thanks for the game :)

I can't find Sergey Syachin on either ICQ or Hamachi, and I don't know how to contact him. We started a game - we've been playing for about 4 days...
Auto-translated
It seems that it's easier to find Syachin on VKontakte. I needed to play with him on ICQ, but he didn't respond for two days. Then I wrote to him on VKontakte, and we played right away.

Overall, the game turned out to be interesting, but Cassian didn't have time to finish it within the deadline, so he gave me the victory. Maybe we'll finish it later, but it will be outside the tournament :)

I hope to have the playoff game draw ready by 6:00 PM.
So, there will be a draw after all? Meaning I could be matched against anyone who finished first in their group, except for Pomidor? Or him too.

16.02.2012 AlexAG (blue, Fortress, Tiraxor, Nimus) def PlayHeroes_HP (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Kirry) Jebus cross, 134
We played for a long and painful time - in three sessions...
During the first session, we went through seven restarts (three of mine, two by the opponent, and two more of mine due to block), during the second session we started playing, but the opponent had internet issues, so we had to repeatedly load autosaves or save at the end of the turn and then reload due to disconnects... The third time everything was fine, so we finished normally.
The respawn turned out to be gorgeous in terms of money - 8 heroes on day one, bears on day four, 123457 in the castle on 117.
Near the castle, there were several small external dwellings scattered around - three goblins and some orcs
On 115, I spotted a bear external dwelling deep in the corner; things were complicated by the fact that my main hero and primary troops were slightly elsewhere, and next to the same external dwelling lay a blood vial, so the guard was appropriate - 45 gr basilisks... Simultaneously on 115, a minimal "can" is opened - 1 angel is a decent help...
I somehow build a chain, move troops toward the external dwelling, but I have to fight for it with level 1 Fiona (advanced scouting and stats 2-2-1-1, no book)... The 45 basilisks successfully fall; of the troops, only the most valuable remain - a hundred goblins and an angel... I attack the external dwelling, lucky with the terrain - I block the passage with single units and, sacrificing all the goblins, I finally take the external dwelling, getting the much-needed +1 growth on 117 and 2 bears from the external dwelling
Since the respawn turned out to be truly gorgeous in terms of money (and a market was found) - on 122 I build an upgraded den and on 123 I leave with five gr. bears to get some cash to keep the party going...
on 125 I take three more angels from the "can", snatch a Pandora's box from snipers with 60 gr. goblins, build a chain and on 127 I crash into the main army, immediately retreating toward ГО.
on 131, by mistake, I lose one of the five bears on a crushing six; Nimus with the bears retreats to the vanguard to collect Pandora's boxes, while the rest of the troops (by this time all except cyclops are upgraded and bought out) are dragged in the rearguard toward two Dragon Utopias, around which the Pandora's boxes are scattered...
132 - I sacrifice a pawn at the first Dragon Utopia, it's minimal... I take it, but it's trash - water book, basilisk breastplate, sulfur ring and some other junk...
133 - a second pawn arrives, spots the second Dragon Utopia, it's pre-mini... I open it - also almost complete trash - dragon breastplate already, fire book, some wagon and another fourth completely useless artifact (I don't remember which one)... Upset, I go to ГО (50+ gr. unicorns), having 5 magic points but expert earth.
134 - the unicorns fall without losses, I immediately take three more angels near the passage, and 8 ducks... In transition, news comes from the opponent that he lost half his army and, considering an early exit from the group, doesn't really want to continue.
Thanks for the game, waiting for the play-offs :)

16.02.2012 gnoll (Blue Castle Valeska Edric) def d-neez (Red Necropolis Clavius Clavius) 2SM4d(3) 224
We played in three sessions, with the first two being a long time ago, and the last one - about two days ago with a fb - after a large time gap, so I don't remember anything. I'll try a bit based on the saves:
111 Archers not built, 3 roads in different directions and Griffin Conservatory. 5 heroes, the setup seems normal.
112 Another 2 Griffin Conservatories, stable. Definitely decided to play.
117 One town, heroes Dessa and Kyrre. Cavalry built in the Citadel. Was clearing the territory since there was no progress.
123 Took the native secondary hero, saw a Dragon Utopia in the underground treasure zone. By this time the main hero was Dessa lvl 6, but Edric was freed from prison at lvl 10 - he takes the place of the main hero.
127 I don't know what I was doing until this time, but Griffin Conservatories not taken, artifacts not dug up. In the main town - Castle and Magistrate, in the secondary - Citadel with swordsmen.
137 By this day I took 4 Griffin Conservatories for 9 angels, entered the underground killing zone. Main town unchanged, secondary - cavalry in Castle.
144 Edric lvl 18, stats 11 13, enters the Dragon Utopia with angels, 35 ducks and a power stack. Dragon Utopia was 2 I think (don't remember exactly). Lucky, got a chalice +6.
147 Treasure zone already cleared, stats 23 23, 55 ducks. In the towns still no angels.
211 Third native town.
Then follows the capture of the opponent's main town, a secondary on snow. Pandora's box with Flight and Dimension Door. At some point I thought the opponent had lost Clavius - he disappeared without a trace from the Thieves Guild.
Well, in the end he appeared, and on 224 I attacked him. There were 1000 skeletons, 9 angels and small units with stats 14 8, against my 9 angels, 55 ducks, 26 champions and a considerable number of crusaders with archers... Stats 25 25. In short, no chance, game over.
Thanks for the game!

kalababa never replied to me. I suggested we play, so I win. I left for a place with no internet until the next tournaments. Thanks to all the participants. Goodbye.

I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't been able to find three opponents at once for a long time: Targat, MOM, and Charrizard. The last one is sometimes online, but hasn't responded lately. Can anyone suggest where I can find them? Because there are only three days left, and I haven't played three games yet. It's quite frustrating... maybe I won't make it out of this stage with two losses, but I'd like to play, and the sooner the better. As Scorpion would say, a tournament is a serious matter!
