Has anyone played the second game with an opponent from these teams?

Yes, I lost 2 games to Kilgor

GUYS (this is an address to all participants), don't you think we've become too demanding of young organizers (young)? What, but I didn't expect it from some.
Instead of help and advice (in the chat) - crap on the forum (why??), by the way, it has already come to the point that a young organizer simply abandoned his idea... What does this lead to???
Sevensan, why don't you create an IDEAL tournament???
Huge thanks to Tanya (she's already been in this situation, and she was also bitten)
Andrey - respect and kudos!!! Let them all go )))

P.S. If you read and think in Russian, then everything is clear in this tournament.

Why are you being so aggressive towards me? Everything is fine with me, I just want a well-organized table. What did you expect from me?

Cucumbers - The best joke by Petrosyan | 00W-00L = 1-0 | Second round

06.09.2012 artbocha (red, random, Swamp, Verdish, Grindan) def. .DiGGeR. (blue, random, Dungeon, Gunar) 146 Panic

He gave out 2 hidden units, and by turn 131, there were already 52 of them. Everything would have been fine if Gunar hadn't had boots of speed. Thanks to them, he ran around almost twice as fast as me. I only caught him when I had captured all the castles except his main one and locked him in a treasure room with a Veil of Darkness. He had 360 mana, 20 with mages + some kind of 15% resistance. In terms of combat parameters, he had a significant advantage. It turned out to be an interesting fight where ducks and bolts decided the outcome.
Thank you for the interesting game.

06.09.2012 artbocha(red, random, Bog, Verdish, Grindan) def .DiGGeR.(blue, random, Dungeon, Gunnar) 146 Panic

I got 2 external dwellings of Wyverns, by turn 131 there were already 52 of them, everything would have been fine if Gunnar didn't have Boots of Speed, thanks to them he ran me almost twice as much, caught me only when I captured all the castles except his main and locked him in the treasure zone with a Veil of Darkness, 360 mana, he has 20 with mages + resist at 15% or something, in combat stats he had a big advantage, it turned out to be an interesting FB where the drakes and the bolt decided it
Thanks for the interesting game

Totally agree
I don't remember how we got to such a distribution. I think there were still restorations left. Because I wanted to take a restoration on 112 but seeing the Griffin Conservatory I decided to continue
111 Split into 6 heroes and didn't manage to pull the seventh out of the castle:confused: (we played with 6 minutes, very often there wasn't enough time to assess the situation) Das, Crag, Alkin, Gunnar, Torosar (big hero selection)
112 Gunya broke through a passage to Necro secondary, Crag behind him on support. Found the Griffin Conservatory and decided to continue (I should have taken 112:mad: )
113 A couple of moves short of taking Necro. Although there was a stable along the way.
114 Exit to neighboring respawns blocked for a long time. Gunnar will have to run around the upgrade structures.
115-116 Gunya attends young fighter courses.
117 Cats in the castle. Half the heroes are standing at the stables. One is trading at the market for the Blue Empire. The rest are in chains. The further plan for the game hinged on the Griffin Conservatory (which with growth might not have been taken) and breaking through to adjacent zones (which is also unlikely to do without losses).
121 Gunnar recaptured the boots and prepared to take the Pandora's Box (only had enough money for cats and eyes). Too bad only Troglodytes came from the external dwellings.)
122 At the cost of a cat, I raised the Pandora's Box (5k), expertsed Wisdom which never came in handy.
123 Graydaned the cats. Didn't have enough time for Gunya to take the crypt.
124 Griffin Conservatory 3-4 cannot be taken with my crowd (very sad). Had to split into Necro.
125 Broke through and took the Elf village, losing about 30 Troglodytes and a couple of eyes.
126 Raised a +4 shield with a scout.
127 Took Inferno. Leveled up, Resist popped out (Grisha was shining 2-0-10-7). Without thinking, I took it and turned to take the Griffin Conservatory.
131 Decided to run Gunnar through the stable. As a result, I drove him on a skeleton.
132 Was in a big hurry to take the Griffin Conservatory, ended up losing almost all Troglodytes and half the Medusas.
133 Riza, having visited the lookout, was horrified:eek: lots of empty Dragon Fly Hives and Grisha came with 50+ drakes, 50+ Greater Lizardmen, 50+ Greater Wolves, while Gunnar the wanderer is being dull.
134-135 Castles change hands. Thank God Grisha doesn't know the way. That means there's time to break through to adjacent zones. Gunnar reactively breaks through to the enemy's rear.
136 Gunya took the Citadel and raised the CUTE AMULET of Necromancy)))
137 Grisha rushes in pursuit, but how naive he is:rolleyes: Gunnar cannot be stopped (split into Necro at the stable ->>> Races continue)
141 Just a little short of chains to take another secondary and spread out.
Damakon found out that the amulet gives 15k experience. Too bad Gunnar wasn't nearby:mad:
142 Gunnar guessed wrong about the road and had to make his way through the swamp. Finally found salvation for the party (Dragon Fly Hive and 3 Pandora's Boxes).
143 Dragon Fly Hive max took 10 eyes, 1-Pandora's Box 5k experience, 2-Pandora's Box 50 Greater Zombies.
144 Another Pandora's Box with 60 shielded skeletons (Grisha can already reach Gunnar).
145 Only the capital left. Gunnar hired 4 mages and went to fight (too bad he lost a drake and a cat before the FB). Opponent attacks. It started beautifully. Stone Skin, Angel Resist, but after Oil the luck ended.
No Resist and the angels died from three bolts. Then, just under Oil, I couldn't hit the drakes with the whole crowd, 10 survived.
And that's how the drake story ended:smile15:
Thanks for the game

There aren't enough artifacts.

Poland is winning:smile14: :smile14: :smile14: :smile14: "GO GO GO POLAND"

One guy says to another: imagine this situation, you're in the forest and you meet a bear, what would you do? Well, I'd shoot it with a gun. And imagine you don't have a gun. Well, I'd quickly run to the car and drive away. No, imagine you don't have a car. Well, I'd climb a tree. And imagine there are no trees around. So, who are you rooting for, me or the bear? :D

There seem to be too few artifacts.

Poor Panic:D
Everyone is used to playing with artifacts:smile52:

Hope I formatted the header correctly.

111. Ivor and Gosh arrive (20 archers and 60 skeletons). One road is blocked by Medusas, the other by Dendroids (Dragon Fly Hive). The Dendroids fight (they get horrible morale boosts - they chew up the guys). The mini Dragon Fly Hive is taken (here our Centaurs suffer morale penalties) - so all skeletons and almost all Centaurs are lost. But Gosh remains - we play on.
111-117. Another mini Dragon Fly Hive is cleared. External dwelling of HORSES. They are in the Citadel (a bit short on gold). 2 HORSES are lost. About 40 skeletons...
121-125. A couple of Pandora's Boxes (10k exp each), Griffin Conservatory 3.
Total: 170 skeletons, 3 Angels, 21 Wyverns, and 3 HORSES (I lost the rest because I'm a noob). Gosh levels up just splendidly - Logistics, Haste, Slow.
126. A GO is fought (24 Green Dragons). Battle stats 15 15. So it's broken easily (the dragons deigned to eat the Dwarves and 3 Unicorns). Essentially lost 60 skeletons. Overall, nothing major.
Book of Earth.
127-136. Nothing to tell: with Slow and Resurrection everything breaks easily. There was only one nasty moment - when I went after the Cyclops Kings. And I didn't remove the red orb (just picked it up). They ate 1/3 of the army.
137. Opponent breaks through the GO, and the scouting spot reveals him. But I wanted to take the Dragon Utopia, so I decide not to go to him. The max Dragon Utopia gave junk (except for a shield +4 to all - but it was lying further ahead).
141. Opponent takes the town. Gosh clears the treasure zone. A chain is built to reclaim the town.
142. Gosh does some gathering. The chain is built.
143. Fightback. 3 Gold Dragons (I only placed 3) reclaim the town. Gosh Teleports there through the Dungeon.
Dimension Door and I run after the opponent. Gosh has a lot of movement - I get there without problems.
A lot of stats (the 2nd Dragon Utopia helped). Army advantage, explosion at 2k.

Thanks for the game.

01.06.2010 ded MazAi (red, random, Rampart, Pearl, Galthran) def MaxGor (blue, random, Fortress, Woya, Sorsha) Jebus, 142

It happened, I had 1 rest left, but I saw 2 Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Fly Hive that could be taken on 121, with 2 more Dragon Fly Hives further ahead. But then I couldn't find not only max crypts, but even max treasure chests, so the buyout on 121 didn't work out, and the first turn losses came. On 122: min Dragon Fly Hive, 2 Griffin Conservatories and 1, I see external Wyvern, but it also comes with a Naga with corresponding guards. I gathered few troops, so on the second week I took Dragon Fly Hives inside a big respawn and got lost in it :smile35: I arrived at ГО late, in the final battle I cast Mass Haste at the wrong time, and with expert Resistance the opponent's oil affected everyone. Plus, I rarely see such luck that with 4 factions, including Skeletons, the units also got morale bonuses.
thanks for the game

The best Petrosyan joke - What is this?

Satyr (red, Rampart, Gem, Monere) def Sevensan (blue, Conflux, Grindan, Luna) Spider 132

Each player had a day or two of restarts left; Rampart struggled with a tie involving horses, Monere, Griffin Conservatory kopek, Hive, close comps were Rampart and Dungeon, and I decided that I would play against any opponent's lineup. On the first week, I take the Rampart bot, take ties of elves and horses, home 1-6 in Stronghold, bot has 1-6 in Fort. Monere level 8 with Armor, Tactics, and Earth magic stays overnight at the stables, got the Gloves.

121 - I buy up, take the kopek.
122 - I break Monere towards the bot, run to the revealed Griffin Conservatory.
123 - scout heroes along the chain collect money, take the Hive on 6, buy reinforcements from the secondary hero and take the third Griffin Conservatory at the cost of losing the Juggernaut.
124 - I run to the corner village in the swamp. Not great.
125 - I break Monere back home, finally buy the spell book, Slow is available. I leave Clavius with Wyverns to clear the secondary hero's respawn.
126 - I break through to the adjacent zone, take the Naga Bank 4, scout with the view area of blue flags and a Griffin Conservatory in the snows which has a chain leading to it. I'm short 2 tiles to break the link. Sevensan transfers troops to Luna, she takes the Griffin Conservatory and runs deep into the snow respawn.
127 - with the scout view I see that the road into the snows is a dead end, I run to the crossroads, maximally clearing out scout heroes. I took the village and the Dungeon.

131 - Luna lingers in the snows, with the scout view I see where the main opponent is, I bring up the growth. Stracker boosted at the stables is ready to break into the village to return the money stash, if Luna ends up within reach.
132 - that's exactly what happens, and since blue doesn't have enough money to buy back, the surrender follows.

Thanks for the game.

The best Petrosyan joke - What is this?

Satyr (red, Rampart, Gem, Monere) def Sevensan (blue, Conflux, Grindan, Luna) Spider 132

Each of us had a day or two of restarts left; Rampart gave in with a tie of horses, Monere, a kopeck Griffin Conservatory, an apiary (Hive), close computers for Rampart and Dungeon, and I decided that I would play against any lineup of my opponent. On the first week I took a Rampart bot, picked up ties of elves and horses; at home 1-6 in Stronghold, with the bot 1-6 in Fort. Monere level 8 with Armorer, Tactics, and Earth slept at the stables, knocked off the gloves.

121 - I buy up, take the kopeck.
122 - I break Monere towards the bot, run to the revealed Griffin Conservatory.
123 - scout heroes along the chain knock off money, take the Hive on 6, I buy reinforcements from the secondary hero and take the third Griffin Conservatory with the loss of a Juggernaut.
124 - I run into the corner village in the swamp. Not great.
125 - I break Monere back home, finally buy the spell book, Slow is available. I leave Klavius (wyverns) to clear the secondary hero's respawn.
126 - I break into the adjacent zone, take a Naga Bank 4, scout the blue flags with a lookout and a Griffin Conservatory in the snowy area which has a chain leading to it. I'm 2 hexes short of breaking a link. Sevensan transfers troops to Luna, she takes the Griffin Conservatory and runs deep into the snowy respawn area.
127 - by scouting I see the road in the snow is a dead end, I run to the crossroads, clearing scout heroes as much as possible. I recaptured a village and the Dungeon.

131 - Luna is stalling in the snowy area, by scouting I see where the main opponent is located, I bring reinforcements. Straker boosted at the stables is ready to break into the village to reclaim the purse, if Luna is within reach.
132 - this is exactly what happens, and since the blues have no money to buy back (rescue), a surrender follows.

Thanks for the game.

The opponent realized his chocolaty position. Thanks.

P.S.: After analyzing the situation in the group, it's clear that players aren't really interested in playing the 3rd game if the result of this game doesn't affect the overall picture... but if there was simply a sum of all games contributing to the General standings, then each game would be incredibly valuable!

Maybe we can all vote together for THIS change in the rules, and hopefully the organizers will finally realize that it NEEDS to be done?
