11.03.2012 Tootsie Pie (blue, Tower, Aine, Vidomina) def Tomash (red, Conflux, Ignissa, Vokial) 8mm6a 131

We had a good laugh, I also had setups with 3 native heroes, but it didn't work out

in the end we're playing without air elementals, but there's an external dwelling of fire, I take it, another corner with an external dwelling of fire shows up... I go to it, on the way I find a 3rd external dwelling of fire.... it would seem everything is mega cool, 40+ fire elementals by week 1 day 2 in theory.... but on the respawn there's simply no money, Vokial comes in and expertises necromancy, goes to the adjacent zone, there are strange road forks, exits to teleports, while I was clearing everything, figuring out where leads where - it's already week 1 day 2, I really want fire elementals, I go in with Fiur (specialist in fire elementals and offense) into the Medusa Hives - + money. I think, that turned out not bad - I transfer the army to a left-behind hero and go in again, and I roll an 8 with Medusa Queens, no fire specialist, no offense, I don't cut the stack with the first strike, retaliations start, stone gaze spam, -8 fire elementals.

I was upset of course, a morale hit, but still ended up with 34 units, I think - that'll be enough. I take the enemy Tower, he didn't have a ranged shooter in his mage guild, I considered him harmless, but he showed simply micro miracles, and not only did he put fire protection on the gremlins (:D ) but he also managed to cast slow on the fire elementals exactly when they were coming in from wait, resulting in another -3 fire elementals.

another Medusa Hive appeared on the horizon, I, as if taught by experience, go in there with Ignissa, specialist is present, offense is present, but it's the maximum spawn, 5 or 6 stone gazes in a row, -15 fire elementals. :smile16:

it's time to give up, but there are skeletons, which are just accumulating without participating in battles.... seem to be alive.... Vokial goes into the sand adjacent zone, on the horizon an Imp dwelling, Dragon Fly Hive, on week 1 day 7 I send Labetta to the fire external dwellings, to buy them up and deliver by week 2 day 1, I pass the turn and..... I see legs. someone's unwashed legs. in the dark.

to be honest, I wasn't very scared, I thought I'd just lose Labetta, the chain to the main wasn't coming together with a rush, but with buying 1 additional hero - it was fine.

but the AI again showed miraculous omniscience, it simply ignored Labetta, and through unexplored territory, without any roads, knowing exactly where to turn, it gets straight to the main. not only that it's week 1 day 7 - week 2 day 1, I had everything ready for the upgrade of fire elementals, the upgrade of air elementals was done, but not a single one bought from the first week......

in the end, upon getting the turn, I discovered that in my castle sits a mage, with a shooter from my mage guild, with 24 Storm elementals + other meat. and I on this turn don't even have a chain reaching the castle.

ah screw it, I thought :smile15:

on this day, the artificial intelligence was a cut above me :smile41: :smile47:

thanks to the opponent for the game

4.03.2012 AlexAG (blue, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Kyrre) def 7z (red, Rampart, Mephala, Adelaide) Jebus Cross 137

Confirmed. The game turned out very long and tense, because I was away and practically had no opportunity to play. There was still an army and a chance to collect Dragon Fly Hives, but the last day and the need to get up in 6 hours took their toll. Thanks for the game.

12.3.12 7z (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Snooppy (red, Fortress, Wystan, Gunnar) 2sm4d(3) 117

Got lucky with the conservatory. On 114 I scouted and took a singleton, and on 116 I saw the opponent on the neighboring respawn and a double next to the road. Opponent went into a secondary with a citadel. I decided not to fight and ran to his main (Castle), where I killed a bit of meat with angels (his meat lasted for 3 rounds) and stayed the night there. After that, the opponent surrendered. My crash at the end slightly spoiled the impression of the game, due to which I had to replay 117. But it's good that the game was quick as we planned. Thanks for the game.

12.03.2012 Dimast (red Necro Clavius Charna) def gnoll (blue Tower Nella) 146 Scka
Got 3 chocolate buffs and 3 rests, decided not to play with the generator and play mid-tier, from the start 2 native, no need to build a converter, 2nd level is available, I set up vampires, and push through 111 cans, under 20 of them, I hit blocks, one I kill 60 zombies, the second I bypass, barb secondary took on day 4-5 only, set up horses in the Citadel, on 121 I bought, took Naga Bank and Dwarf Cottage, and in excitement I inserted dragons for some reason, well one plus no one will get morale, on 2 I take an external dwelling of horses, on 131 I bought, no tempo at all, barb respawns 3 pieces everywhere, slaughtering skeletons on them is brutal, but somehow I scraped about 450, and on 137 I take the opponent's castle, it's luxurious inside, Capitol, Mage Guild-3, giants were in the castle from turn 2, Nella goes into the treasure zone, I make a slight path mistake and let her clear the treasure zone, after taking all the castles, going into the treasure zone the amount of Dragon Fly Hives and a taken Dragon Utopia scare me somewhat, I count the days, think how to position the castle defenses, the stats are just scary 8-24-18-7, Bolt for 500 + Nella's specialty, I have 11-8-9-7. I attack, 5 dragons, 3 genies, 21 black knights, 428 skeletons, 14 liches, 7 Wyverns, 22 vampires, there's an angel, naga, 6+1 genie, 18 mages, 178 gremlins, and 32 Wyverns, I think there's a chance to kill, imps don't follow, Bolt doesn't either, positioning under liches and oil, I understand this chance is 99.9, I cast Mass Haste, but there's no damage at all against such armor, I barely kill the angel and genies letting the skeletons move in round 2, and then the black knights crit with 2 double damages in a row, the stats didn't decide it.
Thanks for the game.

Yes. That's how it was.
I was clearing the respawn and the treasure zone at a calm pace. Suddenly the OP arrived. ГО was either shifted (unclear unicorns to the side of the zone), or I don't know where it was, but 100 zombies separated us. The plan was the treasure zone, but it didn't give exactly what was wanted. And I played the last battle very incorrectly. We played for a long time, with no result.
Thanks for the game.

The GO was off-road, and behind the zombies was a secondary Barbarian dwelling adjacent to it; he ran through it.

12.3.12 7z (blue, Dungeon, Shahti, Shahti) def Snooppy (red, Swamp, Vistan, Gunnar) 117

It happened. And what was I thinking, giving Dungeon to my opponent?... I don't have luck in the lottery... but there, right away, without any rests, there were 3 troglodyte lairs and two cons: a level 1 and a level 2... and even the paths were good: a Shahti appeared on turn 115, didn't attack, and by turn 116 it was already too late...

Thanks for the game.

Well, another week has passed. The guys did a great job!!! Almost everyone played:smile20:

InOK - AlexAG will play today, and the result will be available tomorrow evening.

I was waiting for a response from Zzzloi until today, but I didn't get one. The opponent also didn't respond throughout the weekend, which is a shame, as the game had already started, and as a result, TECH suffered a defeat:smile29:

Players Snooppy, SeniorPomidor, Necrotal, HellLighT, thank you for the games! Making it to the playoffs is already a good result; the competition was tough.
SeniorPomidor, Necrotal, HellLighT, I think in the next season, you will become the main favorites of the novice tournament; keep practicing, and luck will be with you;)

The next round has the following schedule: Players in the upper bracket can take a little breather; they will have 2 weeks to play: 03/12-03/25
But the guys in the lower bracket have no time to relax; they need to finish within a week: 03/12-03/18

13.03.2012 In0k (Blue, Necro, Tamika/Crag) def AlexAG (Red, Stronghold, Dessa/Shiva) mini nostalgia, 232
used all restarts
the beginning was very fun.
scouting immediately revealed a dungeon, the passage was guarded by boars, nearby there was a portal behind goblins—decided to take the dungeon (since the guard at the portal exit was unknown)
ran to the dungeon, stomped around there for 3 turns, the computer built medusas and I didn't dare attack, even though I had brought 3 liches and 4 vampires. turned around and went to the portal—swamp.
At the end of the week, I captured an empty swamp castle—only serpents built.
The computer took my main at the swamp and bought out my horses from week 1
121 Main I reclaimed, on the next turn the last swamp hero killed himself on me.
122 total: 3 heroes and 2 castles—opponent is worse :)
123 took the dungeon with growth, but without the hero and main army
124 finished off the hero, then lost a lich and 4 vampires to 40 wolf riders with a gr. stack (both stacks faeried and charged)
131 overall 1 external dwelling of gnolls (there's also 1 hydra in the swamp behind a bunch of trolls)
completed week 1 objectives for tier 3 :) 5 heroes, horses in the citadel (have 5 of them), preparing to break through the troll block to the third computer (guard of shield+5)
136 captured the castle—3 external dwellings of archers and an external dwelling of swordsmen near the roads, Griffin Conservatory level 4, computers are dead, went to the nearest treasure zone.
146 in the treasure zone took an external dwelling of red dragons, built them in the castle.
147 4 Dragon Fly Hives for 32 Wyverns, plus another external dwelling of red dragons and 700 skeletons as a bonus, leveling up with mass haste.
took a couple more small Dragon Fly Hives, 3 Dragon Utopias
see a couple more Dragon Utopias, but decided to split up and go to the opponent (since 2 computers are still alive, stats show 17-9-3-3 and the strongest stack is Efreet Sultan)
217 split up, but didn't buy back
221 a hero with perfect stats got stuck (earth/air/tactics/attack/wisdom/logistics), but there's a level 20 Crag from the prison and he had all the artifacts (was finishing off Dragon Fly Hives)
224 I hit GO (which runs away)
on the way to his GO, I also took a Dragon Utopia and a couple of Dragon Fly Hives.
232 opponent has 1 hero and 1 castle, barely any army.

Crag Hack
Thanks for the game and for finding the time to play.
Apologies for the delay, circumstances.

I was waiting for a response from Zzzloi until today, but I didn't get one. Oppu also didn't respond all weekend, which is a shame because the game has already started, and as a result, TECH suffered a defeat:smile29:

Zzzloi also lost in "Speed and Aggression," apparently after only a few attempts.

It was, thanks for the game...
As usual, not a single orc from the start and no wolves (I'm almost used to it by now). The respawn fits into one screen, there's practically nothing on it. I immediately break through to the grass and run along the road - on the second day I run to the conflict, where I am already being waited for. At the entrance, a hero with gnolls, who shoots 2 magic arrows at me, and in the castle an elementalist who wipes out my entire army with 7 shots, including the birds. In panic, I collect chests and piles around the area with luck, while the comp sits tight in the castle.
Result - by the end of the first week, 1 hero, 1235 in the Citadel and no money at all.
Somehow I exchange everything I have at the external market, buy everything I can and run away towards Inferno along the road, luckily the main troops of this comp came in from my side and could no longer catch up with me. In the end, on day 126 I capture the Inferno castle, but I lose mine - exchange of 1-6 in the castle and a muniсipal for the previous 1235 in the Citadel (there was no money) and 500 income...
Then I somehow cleared the Inferno respawn, sometimes losing small amounts, searched one Dragon Utopia, but there was junk there. In the end, I couldn't find anything decent nearby by the time the opponent arrived.

Krag

Man, Krag is just a tough guy from Chelyabinsk, with a super bow, insane minus morale, and no archers.
