It would be great to have scarves for all tournaments :) That's a good idea.

You can't make enough scarves for all the tournaments:smile42: We also need knitted hats and socks:D Or a pair of socks for 2nd or 3rd place as a consolation prize:D Although, then we would need a whole knitting factory:smile26:

Here's a guy. To avoid redoing the reward, he convinced his sister to knit another scarf :D

:D if you want to survive, you need to be resourceful)))
and he didn't really have to persuade her much, he just asked, and that was it))))

Yura, thank you, and a double thank you to Tanya
I already tried to ask some familiar beautiful ladies to knit warm things that might be useful in Denmark, and maybe Cobra would also want a set... They say that even the Black Sea sometimes freezes... But the ladies were merciless and didn't want to knit...
And TaKo, as always, is amazing

;)

The working week dictates that it starts on Sunday, so here are a few words now.

The top bracket can essentially relax; matches b2, b3, b7, b8 should be played within a week or two, and the next matches c1, c2, c4 can be played within a month.

Tomorrow/the day after tomorrow, we will find out about the status of the unplayed matches in the second round of the lower bracket and individually record the results. Next, pay attention! The next round continues until March 25th. All those who have not been able to agree and start playing with their opponent will be subject to a coin toss. But first, the decision will depend on the logs. So, check in more often. Let's finish the tournament before summer ;)

BorzoiD (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Psyche_7 (blue, fortress, Bron, Alkin) 213 SoD
A good start - a Dungeon secondary hero, 2 Minotaur external dwellings with portals allowed for a decent expansion. 3 experience chests, Shakti levels up admirably: Defense, Logistics, Pathfinding, Scouting, Fire Magic (+Fire book on respawn).
On 122 I head to the center with 39 Minotaurs and 20 Harpies. By the end of the week I captured several harpy stacks and picked up some decent items from the ground - a chalice and a Sword +5 to all stats. The army, however, was dwindling rapidly; there was no Earth Magic or Resurrection, so I essentially fought only with Fire Elementals... By 127 Shakti's army consisted of 5 harpies:) The opponent didn't venture deep into the center (I wouldn't have either in his place, seeing Shakti's tavern stats:)
Starting from 131, armed with Black Dragons, I finished collecting loose loot in the center, forged the Angel Alliance, farmed the neighboring respawn, captured 4 Behemoth external dwellings and built them in two castles. The opponent is nowhere to be seen; judging by the number of towns, he is also developing an alien respawn.
By the fourth week, having bought out the growth, I rush to the opponent. No Town Portal, clearing is tough... Foolishly, I expose Luna, who has Earth Magic, and Town Portal is postponed indefinitely. By 211 I managed to capture and hold several enemy towns, including the main one. Dessa got Earth Magic and ran to level up for Town Portal, but then Alkin stays within reach with 4 flies, and the GG follows.
Thanks for the fun game!

Mizrael, respond!

Tutoti :)

I took 1 rest, opp took 2 + there were a few level differences and we started playing fairly quickly.
111- Crag got an artifact +1 speed, scouting revealed 4 Griffin Conservatories under the castle, 2 Dragon Utopias, 2 external dwellings of birds, a cloak +2 speed, Shaktii in the tavern with 70 troglodytes :smile23: . I'm afraid of one thing - that the opp won't take his last rest 111.
112- we're playing :smile03: . Found another Griffin Conservatory, gold mine captured. Crag on one side without an army, purse on the other with Tyraxor (I thought I'd quickly take a secondary and return the army to the main hero, but that was not the case, got stuck in a long corridor)
113- Tyrax hits a guard block of the Dragon Utopia without taking the secondary :smile35: , two days wasted.
114- Shaktii takes the external dwelling of birds with the loss of a bird and 20+ troglodytes and falls just short of the dwarf dwelling - decided to take Vidomina. The dwarf dwelling is guarded by 15 with grandmasters and due to moral losses I lost another bird, 30+ troglodytes and 10 dogs. Meanwhile, Crag wandered to his native village under guard and, with nothing better to do, started collecting gold and resources
115- with a bear already, I take another external dwelling of birds
116- I take a secondary, found an external dwelling of bears, but there's no one to take it and no time. The wagon offers a flail +4 attack. GO 100+ mages and few crystal dragons
117- Crag of level 1 carries the army to the capital :smile13:
121- upgrade of all birds (21 total), chains for taking Griffin Conservatories.
122- main hero takes 2 Griffin Conservatories +2+4 with the loss of 2 birds and a horse without losses +3 +1. Total of 10 angels, 19 birds, 3 bears and an ogre. Crag got Air Magic.
123- another +3 angels, the main hero runs to the Dragon Utopia.
124- cloak +2 speed, Crag leveled up Air Magic and a view scroll was delivered, we look - the opp in the center is also not visible :smile54:
125- ring 1/1 attack/defense, Galthran from prison with 80+ skeletons (just the right ogre for the Dragon Utopia). With the loss of 4 birds and the ogre, a level 3 Dragon Utopia falls, gave good stat boosts: a sword +5 to all and a sword +12/-3, a necklace +3 to all and a sphere of Air Magic. Immediately sent the bears for an upgrade and am preparing to head to the center through the second Dragon Utopia, but the opp on his turn came out and congratulated me on the victory.

Thanks for the game!

You can't knit scarves for every tournament:smile42: We also need knitted hats and socks:D Or a pair of socks for 2nd or 3rd place as a consolation prize:D Although, then we'd need a whole knitting factory:smile26:

It would be possible to send thank-you notes by mail to the girls or guys who will be making such gifts for the tournament. It might not be a lot, but I think it would be nice :) Let it be just a piece of paper, but it will remind the person of a good deed.

The AK’s decision regarding the match between Katherine and Volodymyr can be found here.

GoD (Blue, Necromancer, Galthran, Galthran) def CryptoNight (Red, Citadel, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) Jebus Cross 125

After all the rests, it generated decently. On day 111, I immediately popped a box behind the Harpies, a Dragon Fly Hive for 10-19 Pits.
112 - an epic throw with a big stack of Pits - and the fight went poorly (miscalculated the cells and the fake was killed in round 1, when it was supposed to distract a couple of stacks), and there were way too many Pits... ended up with a bit over 20 Skeletons... but no despair - 4 Beholders are popped, 2 adjacent, Necromancy is already Expert.
On day 115, 3 external dwellings of Wraiths are revealed - we're figuring out how to take them all and place them at home.
Everything works out, Goshian falls asleep at the Griffin Conservatory near the table, there are still plenty of external dwellings of Skeletons and Zombies.
123 - a Dragon Utopia drops, a Sword and Boots of Speed, Goshian speeds up near the GO.
124 - I go out to the center... hmm... we're late... the reds are already here, Crag shows modest stats, 5-9 Beholders, 1-4 Harpies, about 20 Lizardmen (singles and a stack of 10-19).
125 - Reds on their turn took, it seems, a Dragon Fly Hive, we ran around a bit more, and Crag disappeared into the darkness, but it turned out not too far away, we managed to catch up and attack.
After we cast Mass Haste on our troops, the Reds concede defeat.

Thanks for the game!

23.02.2012 herolwy (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def God (blue, fortress, Bron, Bron) 136 SoD

I went into the desert on W2D3, and found Bron on W3D6 when he was going to enter the desert. I attacked him and won the game.

I already wrote about this in the Tribune, then remembered I hadn't confirmed the report, but I don't feel like making up anything new, so I'll just do a regular copy-paste...

It's all nonsense... the Chinese player played very badly... and also lied in the report - wrote that he went to the center on day 123, although he was still at his own respawn on day 125... didn't take a single Dragon Fly Hive, a bunch of external dwellings - something like 4-5 Unicorns, 2 Elf Dwellings, Wood Elves, Dwarves, Centaurs, Dragons, and even money... and a Dungeon on top of that... out of all that, about 30% was taken... the only positive move - a mini Griffin Conservatory on week 1, although without the Angel from it, he wouldn't have done anything at all... overall, his play was disappointing given such a sweet setup... as for me, I got a complete dead end - a block cuts off both roads - to the GO and the town. Only a corner town remains... there turned out to be 63 Griffins, which, considering Bron only came once without any Nomads and with 12 Gnolls, was very problematic... at least Gurney showed up, managed to break the Griffins in 2 tries - but it wasn't worth continuing then... a Gnoll external dwelling, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Griffin Conservatories - all in the dead end, that's all the generator gave me... luckily, Bron got Earth Magic at level 4, so on day 121 he ate a box for 10k experience. Got Expert Earth Magic and went to take a Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory purely with 2 weeks of growth. because all the army was lost on week 1... I took the max Griffin Conservatory with 9 Lizardmen and 25 Lizard Warriors... in short, on day 126 I was at the ramp before the GO, where I got caught - managed to run away, but was completely cut off from the center. immediately on day 131 I took a home Dragon Utopia - got Armor of the Damned and Shield of the Dwarven Lords... not what I needed... tried to break into the center again, but there were already Gold Dragons and over 30 Unicorns... I didn't like that a rematch on the block wasn't allowed, considering that on day 115, having a sweet setup of 5 Dragon Fly Hives and 3 external dwellings of Wyverns, a Griffin Conservatory, Boots of Speed, Gauntlets, a Cloak, Abandoned... I agreed to regenerate the map, because my opponent didn't have a GO on the road - a mine guarded by Skeletons was blocking it, the GO was 1.5 turns from the center entrance...

I took 1 rest, opp 2 + there were several by level and we started playing fairly quickly.
111- Crag got an art +1 to speed, scout revealed 4 Conservatories under the Castle, 2 Dragon Utopias, 2 external dwellings of birds, cloak +2 to speed, in the tavern Shakti with 70 Troglodytes :smile23: . I fear one thing - that the opp won't take his last rest 111.
112- we play :smile03: . Found another Conservatory, gold mine captured. Crag on one side without an army, the main hero on the other with Tyraxor (thought I'd quickly take a secondary and return the army to daddy, but that wasn't the case, ended up in a long corridor)
113- Tyrax hits a guard block at a Dragon Utopia without taking the secondary:smile35:, two days wasted.
114- Shakti takes an external dwelling of birds with the loss of a bird and 20+ Troglodytes and falls just short of a Dwarf Cottage - decided to take it with Vidomina. The Dwarf Cottage on 15 with GS and on moralities killed another bird, 30+ Troglodytes and 10 dogs. Meanwhile Crag made it to the native village under guard and started gathering gold and resources out of boredom
115- now with a bear I take another external dwelling of birds
116- take a secondary, found an external dwelling of bears, but there's no one to take it and no time. In the cart they give a flail +4 attack. GO 100+ wizards and few crystal dragons
117- Crag level 1 carries the army to the capital:smile13:
121- upgrade of all birds (21 pieces), chains for taking Conservatories.
122- daddy 2 Conservatories +2+4 with the loss of 2 birds and a scout hero without losses +3 +1. Total 10 angels, 19 birds, 3 bears and a behemoth. Crag got air.
123- another +3 angels, daddy runs to the Dragon Utopia.
124- cloak +2 speed, Crag leveled up air and they brought a scroll with scouting, we look - the opp is also not visible in the center :smile54:
125- ring 1/1 attack/defense, from prison Galthran with 80+ skeletons (just the behemoth for the Dragon Utopia). With the loss of 4 birds and the behemoth the tier 3 Dragon Utopia falls, gave well on stats: sword +5 to all and sword +12/-3, necklace +3 to all and orb of air. Immediately sent bears to upgrade and I'm preparing for the center through the second Dragon Utopia, but the opp on his turn resigned and congratulated me on the victory.

Thanks for the game!

I confirm, thanks for the game.

StickyFingaz def Forrest
In the first session they played up to 143; by the second attempt, the opponent no longer had any desire to play SoD.
The save from the final day is attached. By the way, I think it's an interesting save

GoD (Blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def. CryptoNight (Red, Stronghold, Crag, Crag) Jebus Cross 125
Confirming – I reached the center not through Archons, but through Giants without a growth stack (I had to make a small detour on the off-road, which ultimately decided the outcome – I didn't have time to eat 2 more hives and get a +6 armor helmet before turn 125, which would have drastically changed the game, but I played the way I played):D I also reached turn 124 (I was on turn 123, rushing towards the Guardian Angel before the Guardian of Order).

Volodymyr (Fortress, Tazar) def herolwy (Necropolis, Galtran), Jebus Cross, 126

We took 2 rest days, the generation was not bad – 2 external dwellings each of geese and hydras, there were trees and a box, behind the golems. On 113 the opponent reported that the map was error. From the conversation I understood that there was no road to GO, I had similar suspicions myself. When asked if he was sure the map was unplayable, a positive answer was given. I open it, there's a bugged passage to a neighboring respawn, which Galtran ran into and that was it, the map is completely normal. Honestly this is GG, but considering he's a Chinese player and that I looked at the map - RiMpel2 says play a new one

We take the remaining rest. We generate for luck and here's a freebie, in the tavern Bron with 6 wasps. Not much money, near the castle, so only 5 heroes on 111. Then spread and the fat starts: 2 throne cons, a tree near the road behind the magogs, a shield +3+3, a sword +6, and a грудак +5. Closer to GO Bron finds a tree and another throne con. Tazar already with earth, runs into the Dungeon village, buys a book there, no slow. Wandered for a long time, got into the tree only on 115, minimal. Tazar runs home to replenish mana and hopes for slow, it's not there.

On 121 he takes the 8th tree, then another one, and through a chain 9 angels are gathered.
On 124 I hit GO, at least 2 extra days ran, I get 20k experience and 4 geese. No slow, I use shield and skin, but the stack slowly melts.
On 125 I kill a horde of units, it turns out to be the opponent's GO, and I run into the treasure zone, follows GG

Thanks for the game!
