Medium_HP (red, Tower, Iona, Lacus) def Gomunguls (blue, Barbarian, Tyraxor, Tyraxor), 6lm10a, 121
Thanks for the games!

Confirmed!
The first game didn't go at all...piles of portals tossed me back and forth..spent a lot of time trying to find my native town...the towns killed all my scouts..attacked from all sides...ГГ went far away, no money...lost tempo so decided not to continue...

In the second game the draw was good - played the same...found a speed ring near town, on 122 captured a mini Griffin Conservatory and there was an external dwelling of wolves...on 114 killed 8 monsters for a sword +6 and a speed necklace, losing a wolf and 4 goblins...next turn I kill 18 unicorns and lose 4 goblins and 14 wolves...get a Pandora's Box for 10k experience and immediately level up Earth expertise and scouting...on 116 kill a horde of air elementals for a library, 20 gnomes and visit the arena...on 117 I sit to replenish mana with stats 16 10 3 5...in the second week several Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories but my opponent's game didn't go well....

In the 3rd match the draw was terrible...road from town was long...and only one!!! went into a treasure chamber and stopped there...then back for the only Griffin Conservatory...then a loss in the treasure chamber...Val leveled up terribly, no tempo...thankfully chains helped do something...on the 3rd I cleared 2 Dragon Utopias, which gave junk...only a sword +12 was decent....well with what I had I went further along that long road and there was FB.... he had an advantage both in army and stats...

Thanks for the games!!!:smile02:

A bit late, but still:

Satyre (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) loose God (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 141 smka

Sold the castle, bought color. Broke GO on 124, but didn't make it to the castle, and that decided it.

Satyre (blue, Inferno, Marius, Marius) def God (red, Conflux, Monere, Monere) 134 8mm6a

Here I bought Inferno because of weak practice with Conflux. Caught Monere while he was expanding with Sharpshooters, when he had already taken 2 Conflux towns from the AI.

Satyre (blue, Barb, Tyrax, Tyrax) def God (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 146 8mm6a

Here I paid 3400 for the castle, probably overpaid a bit, but Dungeon didn't inspire confidence at all. Bad start, lack of money affected the tempo loss, but I killed my AI (Castle), leveled up GG to 8th level, and built Bears in the castle. I see 2 Griffin Conservatories.

On week 2 I started gathering them, 2 minimal ones. Broke through to the center, there I see 2 Dragon Utopias, but nothing to take them with, I run to the treasure zone with 12k guards, spotted a Dragon Fly Hive and a Dragon Utopia. There turned out to be 3 Dragon Fly Hives, gathered them by the end of the week and prepared to take the Dragon Utopia.

On 131 I take a minimal one with Angels, lovely. Then in the center I take another minimal one, a third Griffin Conservatory min in a row, send the Bears for an upgrade. I take the last Dragon Utopia, got good stat boosts, but no more control. Oh, and when I was upgrading the Bears, I broke through the Sharpshooters at my own respawn.

On the very next turn, Shakti shows up with 1-4 Archangels, I pick up Sharpshooters with Shiva and the Pope. Thanks to the Angels, she reaches Shakti and accepts his challenge. But he had no artifacts (as it turned out later, he simply had none), a hefty stack sits in the castle, I have nothing besides 5 Nagas and 20 Dragons, and no magic either. In short, I had to farm a bit more, got a Book of Water, and on 146 with about fifty Dragons and a huge advantage in stats, I kill all of God's stack in the castle.

Thank you for the games.

Congratulations to Satir for making it to the superfinal! GoD vs Medium in the lower bracket, good luck to both!

Medium_HP (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) +3300 def God (red, Barbarian, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) -3300, 8mm6a, full, 132

On 113 took an angel external dwelling, on 114 boots and a corner village, on 116 took a neighboring AI's Tower, scouted 4 or 5 Dragon Fly Hives and 2 home Dragon Utopias, everything seemed fine, built a Castle at home, which turned out to be unnecessary. On the second week took 2 Dragon Fly Hives on 14 Wyverns and headed towards the center, but due to a lack of money I couldn't fully buy everything, only brought an angel from the external dwelling, on 123 on the remaining movement looked into the center, there was Tyras with 100+ Wolves and support, no point in not attacking because I couldn't get far away, scraped some money together, took a nearby medal for buyback and attacked, there were 126 Wolves, only killed about 60, bought back by the skin of my teeth because I didn't have enough money at the opportune moment. Next I planned to take the Dragon Fly Hive in the interim and return to my corner village, there were 2 Dragon Fly Hives and a Dragon Utopia there, it was clear that with such Wolf growth and the center lost, there was little chance. Tyras took a nearby Griffin Conservatory, Dragon Fly Hive and +1 speed there and decided to go for the kill. Managed to isolate him from the chain, bought everything, on 126 took 6 Wyverns, on 127 did a town gate bank under next week's buy, rushed home, ready to defend. On 131 Tyras didn't attack, he even spent money on buyback according to the tavern. On my turn I bought everything, built GM2 with Blind and attacked myself. In the battle Tyras died, although he had the chance to flee without an army, which with such Wolf growth in my opinion still preserved chances. The next day red capitulated.

Medium_HP (red, Conflux, Moner, Moner) -2800 def God (blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) +2800, 8mm6a, full, 135

Start was mediocre but not bad enough to take the last restart, besides I had hopes for my opponent who had 2 restarts left. Regretted for a long time not taking the restart - little money, the intervening terrain was snow, blocked off from the AI, broke through to the central grassy zone but no village, the road leads to lava through an unpleasant guard. On 115 everything unexpectedly fell into place - found Air and Psychic external dwellings at home, secured some money, found a second Dragon Fly Hive. Stormed Master Genies from the external dwelling by brute force, took the external dwelling itself by the skin of my teeth, by 117 built Psychics with Citadel, Moner after the external dwelling simply walked 2 days home for spells from GM2 and to take 3 Medusa dens near the castle, a scout found another Dragon Fly Hive in the center. On 121 Mephala appeared on the grass, hung around there until 125, stole my already counted Dragon Fly Hive, on 126 stretched a chain to the central village, teleported Moner there, attacked, Moner had Blind but Mephala's unicorn aura triggered 2 out of 3 times. Still, the army advantage decided it, and Mephala bought back with 20+ Grand Elves and 4 Wyverns. After that everything went surprisingly well - took the brown swamp on 127, Wyverns with Castle built there, the portal at home built on the first try to an already ready Inteus, headed on the grass towards the Dragon Fly Hive, there was another max Griffin Conservatory, a second Dragon Fly Hive and a single Dragon Utopia with the Helm, near the Dragon Utopia behind the mountain another Griffin Conservatory, no mana for Moner to Dimension Door, but there was Zealot Scholar with 75 mana and Town Portal from Inteus, the Griffin Conservatory again max, Moner Dimension Doors to the second Dragon Utopia, again a single, this time with the Tome of Fire, I could not take the last slot with Wisdom but buy, for example, Fire, the hero Loch is scouting the path to the corner village and sees through the mountain the respawn of the purple Conflux player with a Dragon Utopia and Dragon Fly Hive, just in time for 137 to take everything and get a double. On 135 the opponent, seeing Town Portal, Dimension Door and Moner's power, decides not to continue.

Thanks for the games!

Medium, please write in this thread when you are available to play. I can't seem to catch you online on ICQ, and there's no point in writing to you on the forum, as I don't receive any messages there.

I can play every day this week, starting from 7 PM Moscow time, sometimes earlier.

Satyr (red, Inferno, Marius, Marius) def Medium_HP (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 143 8xm12a

Since the same-team chat cut out during the game, we had to scribble over the template. For Inferno, remembering that xm12 drops a lot, I gave 3k; Medium also unexpectedly sold their color quickly for 700. In the end, I took two restarts due to lack of money, and once more they just surrendered junk.

A large corner respawn was rolled, plenty of money. Immediately reclaimed the +1 speed ring; there are two exits from the respawn, one to the map corner, the second to the center. I ran along the second, came out onto the sand, where there is a fork. One branch is blocked by pits for the Dragon Utopia. I entered the metro and took the corner Tower village, there's another Dragon Utopia there. At 115 I broke back home, ran into the corner with Efreeti; at 117 "based on experience" I realized it also leads to a corner village. But I found 3 Dragon Utopias and a 4th one at home. There is a consulate on the way from Castle. Put the Efreeti in Castle and had another 9k left.

At 121 I broke back home, took the level 2 consulate, Naga at 4, and ran toward the pits. The noobs took Hive at 8. There are tons of roads behind the pits; I took the Inferno bot and the central village nearby. Reclaimed the prison with Saurug using exp. fire at 124; in the Tower, the watchtower is already being built. Saurug snatched Castle on the exits; Marusya headed toward the corner village from the Inferno bot. At 127, on the second attempt, I set up Town Portal; with Marusya, I took Hive at 4, the library, and Nagash's place. Spotted 3 Hives right next to each other and a Dragon Utopia. At home and in the bot 1-6 in Castle, in Castle 1-4 in Citadel. Marius has scouting, wisdom, logistics, learning, and water.

At 131 I bought up, took 2 Hives. At 132 a Dragon Utopia for stats, at 133 a Dragon Utopia near the Tower with loot, 134 - a Dragon Utopia in the sand that was also useless. They gave me books of fire and earth. No Dimension Door, no helmet or sword either. Marius Town Portaled without fire to the Inferno bot, took his army and snatched the village the bot had taken. Marius breaks back home and I run toward another Dragon Utopia. On their turn, the blues attack my scout with all their might in the village; good thing I thought to support him. Paid 40k and I'm free. Snatched Inferno, which then passed from hand to hand every turn. The bot killed 1 out of 2 angels from the scout; a Dragon Utopia I had been running toward for 2 turns was stolen right from under my nose, not good. But 2 more were found and in the second one, finally, they gave Dimension Door. Put angels in Castle. For about 3 turns we've been playing in time pressure.

141 - snatched Inferno, bought everything out, sat at home to replenish mana. 142 - took the Dragon Utopia at home, they finally dropped the sword. 143 - saw Shakti in the center, upgraded 8 angels and wanted to fly there hoping for contact (there is an advantage in army and stats), but before that killed a pesky saboteur who gave wings. The opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game.

Satyr (red, Inferno, Marius, Marius) def Medium_HP (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 143 8xm12a

Great start, 3 external dwellings of troglodytes and 1 Evil Eye, but otherwise it turned out the setup wasn't for the Miner, and I had to wait a long time for good new news. One road into the snow and an immediate block, on the second without forks after 4 days I reached a dead-end necro village, there was a Griffin Conservatory, but with a bunch of junk behind the gr. harpies, couldn't check it, and a Dragon Fly Hive, and another Dragon Fly Hive at home. With cheap units I broke through cross-country to another dungeon village, on the way in between there was a Dragon Utopia, near the village a sword +6 behind a horde of elves and a shield +3 behind dwellings, the Miner was idle until the end of the week, finished at level 3 I think, not much gold, but I decided to build the castle with medusas and a portal, because otherwise it wasn't clear how to take the Dragon Utopia even by week 3.
The entire second week was spent running around, the Griffin Conservatory turned out to be a one-unit one, I scraped together 20+ Wyverns from corners, took the sword and shield, approached the Dragon Utopia, took it on 132, there was a Tome of Water, Wings and a not particularly needed Gladius, then I ate three more Dragon Utopias, including the max one from under Marik's nose, but battle stats were just over 20, and when Marik revealed stats of 30 each and I also gifted him Wings due to time pressure, I decided not to continue.

Thanks for the game.
