After several restarts, I either had 111 remaining or none at all; in short, I took the start without any interesting bonuses.
Week 1
With Ivor, I got 6 Elves; I branched out to 5 heroes, also got Kyrre and Mephala — the full Rampart combat kit :) On day 112, I went into the Imp cave with 40 at GS; the stack of Imps got Moraled immediately and reduced my Grand Elves by 4 — too bad. Kyrre reached level 4, got Offense and Earth magic — the folder is selected. I broke through to the Citadel with a secondary hero, bypassing Zombies and avoiding the road guarded by two shooter stacks — Medusas and Orcs. I immediately revealed the Conservatory(1); the Citadel itself turned out to be entirely in the path still blocked by guards. I instantly placed a Roc in the Citadel and captured the prison for Marcos, getting Alamar with some troops. At my own respawn, Cockroaches with Unicorns captured the external dwelling of Elves with Centaurs; another external dwelling of Elves behind 50-99 Gremlins was also revealed (I decided not to attack the second one). On day 117, to avoid losing tempo, I took the Conservatory(1), but as luck would have it, the Griffins got Morale almost every turn and devoured all the Troglodytes, the Roc, and 18 out of 30 Centaurs; in the main castle, I had 1-6.
Week 2
I ate everything available near the road, took the second external dwelling of Elves, the purchased growth without an Angel, while Kyrre was running to capture upgrades; I chained Fury with Expert Offense to the Conservatory in the rear of the respawn. On day 122, the Conservatory was revealed as 2-4; the army allowed me to go even for the maximum — we went. Conservatory(3) against 42 Grand Elves, 6 Unicorns, 85 Centaurs, 2 Rocs + single Pegasi. I don't know what kind of day it was, but where the Conservatory(4) could have gone smoothly, due to Morale I barely handled the triple — three Griffins from the right side, distracted by the Pegasi, flew straight to the corner with the Grand Elves! In short, I emerged with 10 Centaurs, 3 Unicorns, and all the Grand Elves — thank goodness. Kyrre runs toward the adjacent zone along a roadless path near ГО, next to which is another Conservatory; along the way, the chain grabs a shield at the home respawn, Conservatory(1), and a necklace of +1 speed. In the adjacent zone, I immediately find 2 convenient Dragon Fly Hives, totaling 14 Wyverns, and find the entrance to the underground. On day 127, I take the opponent's main. On day 131, the opponent, out of desperation, tries to take a Pandora's Box and suffers defeat — thanks for the game.
an army of 80 lizards and 20 ducks – is that how you took Utopia?
I looked at my report and didn't immediately understand the question. No, of course, I didn't take Utopia with 20 ducks.
Well done, guys! :smile54:
HellLighT, twaryna, Wladysha, Vinceras advance to the next round and take the top qualifying spots in their groups.
RozenKran, artbocha, SVAROG, Егор Коробейников, JustObserver also move on to the next round, but will be randomly assigned to groups.
In Group 2, marader-kisa and darkello advance based on their seasonal game ranking, with a tie in points within the group.
We'll wait for the result of the last match of the round, Pyre - m2d3, and then draw for the third round.:rolleyes:

We started, all of his rests are over, and we stopped at 111. But he's not here yet.
Round 3 is starting
The group assignments for round 3 are in post #3 of this thread. Within each group, everyone plays against everyone else.
The deadline for round 1 is 2 weeks, meaning approximately 1 game per week. You can play in any order.
We will summarize the results of the second round on August 6th.
The player who is blue in the table chooses their Castle first. The red player chooses their color.
The group stage is played on the 2SM4d(3) template; players can choose the template for their matches (recommended).
Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Regarding Group #2
According to the priority rules in case of a tie in points within a group:
a) Berger coefficient
b) Head-to-head result
c) Time of group completion
d) Position in the seasonal ranking

All three players played their last game on 07/16/2012, so the ranking will be based on the seasonal ranking. I have preliminarily summarized the results based on the spring ranking, but Pit will calculate the ranking for 07/22/2012 tomorrow, and the result may change.
m2d3 let's finish the game this weekend.
P.S. I have a router; maybe the problem is with it...
Here's the problem: we tried connecting with HellLight both via Garena and Hamachi – it doesn’t work. If anyone has any ideas, please help. We have a normal connection with everyone else.
P.S. I have a router; maybe that's the issue…
But we played together, and everything was fine.
Or did you recently install a router?
I was given this link, although I haven't tried it myself yet:

Or maybe in the next Novice tournament, we could introduce the following changes to the rules?
The tournament would be held with a 2-minute time limit. I see a positive side to this, as it might prevent experienced players from signing up for such a short time limit. But for new players, it would be a good experience; I remember playing and it was fine...
The main goal of the tournament is to introduce new players to the rules of the game, and to the conditions under which online games and main tournaments are played. In other words, to show that 2 minutes is not a limit, and that 6 minutes can be quite interesting for strategic gameplay.
And those who like to play with a 2-minute time limit can go and play on GR; I don't want to:D
18.07.2012 HellLighT (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) def SVAROG (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 131
After several restarts, I either had 111 left or nothing at all, basically took the start without any interesting bonuses.
Week 1
With Ivor, 6 elves came, I spread out to 5 heroes, also got Kyrre and Mephala, a full Rampart arsenal :) On 112, I entered the imp cave with 40 GS, the stack of imps immediately morale'd and did -4 Grand Elves, sad. Kyrre hit level 4, got Offense and Earth — folder selected. Broke through to a secondary Citadel, through zombies bypassing the road where there were two shooter guards — Medusas and Orcs. Immediately revealed the Griffin Conservatory(1), the Citadel itself was still at the full path length from the guard. Immediately placed Roc in the Citadel and captured the prison for Marksmen, got Alamar with some troops. At my home respawn, Tarakan with Unicorns captured an external dwelling with Elves and Centaurs, another external dwelling with Elves behind 50-99 Dragon Flies was lit up (decided not to hit the second one). On 117, to avoid losing tempo, I take the Griffin Conservatory(1), but as luck would have it, the Griffins morale almost every turn and eat all the Troglodytes, the Roc, and 18 out of 30 Centaurs, leaving 1-6 in the castle.
Week 2
I eat everything possible near the road, take the second external dwelling of Elves, buy out the growth without the Angel, while Kyrre runs to capture stat boosters, chain transfer Fury with expert Offense behind the Cons in the back of the respawn. On 122, the Conservatory shows 2-4, the army allows even a max pull — let's go, Conservatory(3) against 42 Grand Elves, 6 Rocs, 85 Centaurs, 2 Rocs + single Pegasi. Don't know what kind of day it was, but where Conservatory(4) could have gone normally, due to morales I barely handled a triple, because from the right flank, 3 Griffins distracted by Pegasi flew straight to the corner with the Grand Elves! Anyway, I came out with 10 Centaurs, 3 Rocs, and all the Grand Elves, thank goodness. Kyrre runs to the adjacent zone off-road near the Griffins Obelisk, next to which is another Conservatory, along the way a chain picks up a Shield at the home respawn, Conservatory(1), Necklace of +1 Speed. In the adjacent zone, I immediately find 2 convenient Dragon Fly Hives, totaling 14 Wyverns, find the entrance to the underground. On 127, I take the opponent's main. On 131, the opponent, out of desperation, tries to take a Pandora's Box and is defeated, thanks for the game.
