I didn't even know that :) but it's not a fact that he "forgot" to wear it.

unless he revealed the alliance beforehand, maybe.

In combat, the difference is negligible, and the special ability could be compensated for with a potion. Moreover, Nela didn't have ranged attacks. I should play it sometime when I have free time. It would be nice to give Tyras a tent as well.

unless, of course, he hadn't blown the alliance cover before that, maybe

I had the misfortune of blowing the alliance cover when attacking a scout hero, there wasn't enough time.

In combat the difference is insignificant, and the specialty was possibly compensated by the elixir. Especially since Nella didn't have Shooting. I'll need to play around in my free time. I wish Tyrax had a Tent too.

The Tent isn't that crucial, the elixir heals instead of it. Quite the opposite - Prayer gives a total of 8 stats. It changes the sum of battle stats from -6 to +2 in Tyrax's favor.

Do you think that parameter compensation is better than +2 speed?

Sure. That’s how the additional +2 came about.

Of course. That's how you get the additional +2.

Doesn't speed matter? Being able to move first and attack last with a wait can sometimes be more important, especially with huge stacks.

Read it carefully again.

We have finished two matches, and finally we played all the first round of the upper bracket.

Three new pairs appeared:
Scorpiona - bRitvo4kA, the winner will face Gomunguls,
TERM - Maretti, Kilgor is waiting here,
shpilenger - VanjaM.
You have until September 3rd to play these two games.

The lack of news from the front lines is concerning:
R55Max - Tiamath and OUTLAW - Satyr. You don't have much time left, and there are no reports yet.
Please report on the current situation.
In the lower bracket, you need to play twice as many matches to get to the final battle (FB), so delaying things here makes no sense.

8 min time limit on mini nostalgica is a joke.

Mini-nostalgia requires at least as much time as Jebus Cross. I also made many mistakes due to lack of time. Here I agree, 8 minutes per turn is not enough; it should be 10 minutes.

At first, this caused confusion:confused:. I wrote:

Before the game, check how long your opponent voted for; maybe you can come to an agreement and increase the time.

If both players wanted more time, what prevented them?
Then I looked at the voting results in Tanya's table for Mini Nostalgia:
Maretti - 8 mins,
bRitvo4kA - 8 mins,
and it became clear what the joke was about.
Apparently, before the FB, we will have to survey the participating players again regarding the time limit.

Regarding auto saves and gum rests. I would very much ask the players not to discuss this topic anymore. Respect yourself and your opponent.
Victory mainly consists of the level of play (i.e., the player's potential skills, the maximum they can show), the specifics of a particular match-up, and... unfortunately, our mistakes. We are playing online, so mistakes are inevitable. And you have to pay for them. Even Usain Bolt was disqualified from sports for a false start, although everyone knows that ..........
I heard from many players: "Here, I took an auto save and now I feel ashamed to post my victory." Many compromise by writing a draw in such cases. Even in the "Novichok" tournament, guys who just started playing refuse the offered auto save. Think about it, do you need a stolen victory?
The price of victory is very high in this case. Getting into the lower bracket doubles the number of matches. Also, at the final stage, the results of the second stage matches between participants will be counted.

Tiamat lost the first game. We can't arrange the second game due to time constraints. I'm rarely at home in August because I have a lot of work. I can play on the 7th and 11th if needed. I'm available practically any time.

05.08.2012 Stryfe (red, Conflux, Tunarr, Gunnar) def God (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) Jebus Cross, 127
First the opponent chose his 2 restarts, then I chose 2, and we began.
111 - air units not built, under the Castle I see 2 Pandora's Boxes - for zombies and dwarves, Gunnar arrives, I go to the zombies with him, spread out into 6 heroes.
112 - Gunnar takes a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, gets Earth magic, took 2 Crypts, opened some view and saw 3 external water dwellings, 1 each of fire, earth, psychic, and bird dwellings + also a Griffin Conservatory and a Club +5. On the respawn, 3 Dragon Utopias are visible, there are 8 heroes.
113 - Gunnar runs around the upgrade structures, scouted the ГО, scout heroes gather freebies.
114 - 2 Pandora's Boxes with Gunnar for 5k experience and all level 1 magic, captured a secondary Stronghold. Gunnar already has Slow.
115 - I send main hero to the external psychic and bird dwellings, on the respawn there is a Shield +4 All.
116 - +external psychic dwelling.
117 - +external bird dwelling... also captured free water and earth dwellings. Birds in the main are in Fort. Gunnar is level 11.
121 - Shield +4 All. Gunnar runs to take the Club +5, and also the farthest Dragon Utopia ;)
122 - Pandora's Box of 20 upgraded earth elementals with a scout hero, Gunnar finds Stables.
123 - Stables, Library, and Dragon Fly Hive +6 with Gunnar, who stands on Utopia 1-2.
124 - Utopia number two with Cap of level 5, Collar of +3+3 Attack/Knowledge and Cloak of +2+2 Attack/Knowledge. The plan was to take 2 more home Utopias and 3 Dragon Fly Hives, but I saw the opponent's movement near my ГО which blocked the road to the main treasury and I decide to go for contact. At home I built Mage Guild level 4 - it has Blind, Anti-Magic, and Dispel.
125 - broke through the ГО and sat in the central dungeon.
126 - captured the enemy main and killed Kyrre, who was boosted on a single Pegasus.
127 - I reach the Lab with Power and a surrender follows.
Thanks for the game! 1-0

I can never catch Outlaw online. Ever. Please schedule a time to play.

The reson I voted 8 min for mini nostalgica was that the only options given were 6 and 8 min. If 10 had been an option I would have taken that.

I asked for 10 min in game 2 but it was denied, so didnt want to ask again and get the same answer.

As for loads: H3 is a very diffrent game than the olympics. We play for fun and to have a good time. A 15 hour game totally ruined because of 1 unintentional mistake caused by unneeded timepressure and lack of concentration after 15 hours is unnessesay in my opinion. In my world skill isnt about avoiding unintentional mistakes, misclicks etc. I would never cause such frustration to an opponent by denying a load due to this kind of mistake.

Also, the result of not giving loads no matter the circumstances, is that every player will tripple check everything and run the clock down every turn.

I don't know why my opponents get such punishment in tournaments with me:)

The whole pleasure cost relatively cheaply - 2000

First attempt, there should supposedly be an exit to the native computer, I searched everywhere except the nook behind the Grower Liches, but didn't find it, instead 3 Griffin Conservatories. But they deny me the chocolate at 112.

Had 2 revives in reserve, not in a hurry to take them, and a Conservatory is found at 112, decent money. Through a 4-way intersection, I scout the view and see a hero from the pink computer, also a Conflux one, but no way to approach him yet - 20+ lizards and 20+ Magogs. I run along the path. I took a table from one of the computers, but the Conflux castle won't let me rest, and it's still unclear how to take it.
Almost no money left, I'm even hesitant to build a Citadel in the captured castle, but a plan emerges on how to approach the Conflux - at 116, with a full trade, a bird is bought, and after breaking the shooters and sacrificing pixies, the scout hero goes on the rush.
But, clumsy hands interfered, and after exchanging all resources, I buy the hero in the same place where I traded - in the castle. I have to send this hero for a treasure chest, +1500, another 1500 was beaten off from Centaurs, and still another hero is bought out and delivers the coveted bird. Deremif at 117 is on the rush with it. Phew...

And then out of the darkness (and there were about 14 tiles of rough terrain) flies a computer hero with only 4 swords, while I have single pixies and no Citadel. But he doesn't manage to enter the town. Now it was worth being glad that I misclicked so successfully. (Could have returned the town and Aeris, but he was ready for martial feats in the mini-Conservatory)

At 121 I take the Conflux and a double chain is set up with scout heroes to take the mini Conservatory, followed by a transfer to the main hero under a verified x3.
In the x3 I killed all the Water Elementals, part of the Air Elementals, 2 Psychic Elementals, and the bird. I defeat Monere for another Conservatory, Kyrruyushka is glowing heading right our way.
At 123 the scout hero, having free moves with 4 Angels, goes to kill the purple computer so it doesn't get underfoot, and I'm stunned when Bracers of Death's Fury drop from it.:eek:

At 124 Kyrruyushka enters the reachable zone, where Charna receives her. The opponent's situation was bad, gg.

Thanks for the game and good luck in the next games.

P.S. Looked at the Bracers and was stunned again, the computer beat them off 24 Grower Djinns on the 2nd week

Well, minimum gold, sandy main middle, quite long stretched roads, no Griffin Conservatories, no hives... All fair. Thanks for the game!

Added after 4 minutes

....

Come on, it's the Razor's right to give an auto-win or not, especially not for a misclick but for a serious mistake. When Maretti gives away four Griffin Conservatories against zero from the opponent on Jebus Cross, he's not at all against it) Well, he made a mistake and that's it. There's no one else to blame but yourself.

....

He lumped everything together – unfairness, water-related issues, cheating, skill...

Pit explained everything clearly; mistakes are also part of the game.
I would have also auto-paused in this situation.
