Group A.
Battle Unicorns vs. Phoenix: LWL - WLW = 1-2
20.10.2012 Dima Surmay (blue, random, Dungeon, Geon, Grindan) def MaxGor (red, random, Tower, Fafnir, Luna) Panic, 136

It happened. On my side, I focused on getting 2 angels and summoning greater elementals. For the first week, I tried not to crit, but I wasn't very successful in the snow ((( I lost time, so I only used Luna's abilities in rich areas for a couple of turns. Before the final battle, my opponent shot single-target spells and positioned his units well, so the fast units didn't do much damage.
Thanks for the game.

25.10.2012 Sevensan (Red, rnd, Castle, Cuthbert, Sandro) Def Satyr (Blue, rnd, Necropolis, Clavius, Galthran) Spider 133

111 Well, in short, I took my restarts and here... Necropolis vs Castle. Starting army: 17 Marksmen, 19 Pikemen, 33 Troglodytes. Unbelievable. The only useful thing is Crag... I realized I was in trouble... Luckily, at least there's money and a big starting respawn, Griffin Conservatory, external marketplace... And right there is a block of 50+ Gremlins in the portal =(
112 8 heroes and the 9th is Sandro sitting in the tavern... hope appeared =) I grabbed the maximum Crypt and something else.
114 Started slowly leveling Sandro. Found a Ring of Life.
117 Thanks to the Crypts and the external marketplace, I built and bought an Angel. Immediately broke through the portal and took a village there. Also reached some Necro land (one of the computers), + Satyr had already killed the Dungeon computer, so I realized it could be him.

121 I give a Lich 4 Air Elementals of Faeries and something else and send it to scout... and there's Clavius on the rampage right away! I kill him with the archer (he already had Mass Haste) and reach a machine with 130 Skeletons. I kill 30 Skeletons and singles with the archer, leaving one stack of Skeletons. Then I attack with Sandro - there's a ransom. At that point I realized victory was in my hands. 2 Angels, the Skeletons were ransomed. But next turn I see Galthran in the tavern and already with Angels... sadness. Then we scatter to our own areas and start machinating.
121-127 Killed 3 computers, took 3 villages, took +3+2 Griffin Conservatories and rode to Satyr.

133 Gosha came to me, I knocked off some artifacts and attacked. Stat-wise I have more, + double mana (200) vs his 30. Capitulation.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

The opponent made an unsuccessful move on turn 121, which significantly slowed down my pace. Then, I spent another 2 days on a spell that turned out to be weak, and Sevensan had much better finances, which allowed him to spend generously on pressuring me. As a result, I couldn't even properly cast spells.

Thanks for the game.

Petya took two rests, and here's the draft.

111 Starting marks 13, bows not built. But immediately took external dwelling of marks, making it 22. The sixth hero is Luna! I attack the monastery, There's Gosha level 5 Expert necromancy and defense with two stacks! Visible are two hives, two Griffin Conservatories, 4 Naga Banks, an external market, 5 crypts, a dwarf cottage, Pandora's Boxes for wood and dwarves... In short, it spawned generously!
112 Rebuffed with Luna +2 Attack Skill, +3 Knowledge. Gosha took 3 crypts.
113 Luna Attack Skill 6 and expert fire
114 I attack 31 crusaders, level up wisdom, and there's all air magic! Absolutely awesome!
115 Found boots with Gosha. A bunch of stat boosters for Attack Skill for Luna and General monarchs.

On his turn, Petya forgot the cart for marks and lost on wood. Didn't take auto.

Postmortem revealed that the Griffin Conservatories were 3+4, and in the Dragon Utopias were wings, body 10, shield 12. With archangels would have come out on the second week with decent power.

Thanks for the time.

Weekend, ready to play.
Satyr, come out and fight. I only need to finish playing with you.

Well, lol. Left a message on the forum and disappeared. Why!? I've been waiting for you in-game for almost an hour.

On respawn there were three external dwellings of angels, several conservatories, and several Dragon Fly Hives. I took the external dwellings on the first day and built angels at home.
At the start of the second week, I gathered everything I could and moved to the center. During the second week and the beginning of the third, we hung around taking whatever we could from each other, and then the enemy rushed and took my home; I had no time to return, so I abandoned capturing several good artifacts and Dragon Fly Hives and ran to his respawn. Monere was already moving like a rocket; I managed to capture the enemy's Castle and, through scouting with a scout hero, spotted the enemy hero's flag. I ran there — lucky break, it was the enemy's main hero. Victory. Thanks for the game

Thanks for the game.

I confirm. The starting setup could have been worse, but I played terribly.
Thanks for the game.

Three Bogatyrs - Positive Hedgehogs, Round 2 10/31/2012 VanjaM (red, random Dungeon, Darkstorm, Luna) lost to Tiamath (blue, random Inferno, Marius, Alkin) Jebus cross 123 Gathered 34 ducks by turn 121 + 4 somewhere. No conservation on the respawn point, there were several dragon lairs. Arrived at the Gate of the Gods with a group of manticores that had no combat parameters at all, but I managed to snag a log and both movement artifacts. Evil manticores arrived in the first round and stunned my ducks, gg. Thanks for the game!

Group D replacement: instead of KriVoRu4k0, d-neez will play.

A very long and confusing game, I barely remember the beginning, but overall the game turned out to be very interesting and unpredictable!)
I had 1 restart, which I didn't take, because Dungeon is hard to restart and the starting setup was decent. On the first week, Centaurs at the Citadel. Killed Inferno AI, placed Pits there. Started demon farming from the second week, though I failed a few times, but got 50 by the third week. On week 1, day 3, 2 I took a tier 3 Griffon Conservatory near the Castle, traded a couple of demons on the counter attacks, and demon-farmed the meat. Then with a scout hero, another tier 3 Griffon Conservatory, this time near Inferno, I lost three Pits there and again demon-farmed the meat, but the losses were negligible. Then I decided to run into the treasure zone along the path; it turned out it ended when I reached the Castle (actually, there was something else, but I'd have to go around the Castle for a couple of days). I take a Pandora's Box for 70 Snipers... empty (
At the start of the fourth week, I ran towards a Griffon Conservatory, there was a guard of 100+ Elves, so the main hero goes there. And not in vain! Max Conservatory and max Cyclops Stockpile! Got a couple of level-ups and 4 Angels. +Rib cages, which are needed for the armor. Now I enter a one-way portal because I don't see another way out to the surface, I take two Dragon Fly Hives there, but not without failures. In the first hive, I stupidly took all the meat that was on the main hero, using a scout hero (I wanted to scare away the guard). And I forgot that all stacks were full... the Dragon Fly Hive was near-max and I had to free a stack... the choice was between 20+ Eyes or 10 Pits... I removed the Eyes... Then another hive, lost a Cat on the hive's guard, and a Minotaur inside the hive itself. Then into that zone, which takes a long time to reach from the overview, and there was a treat: a Dragon Fly Hive (mini), a Griffon Conservatory (tier 3), and it turned out there was also a Dragon Utopia, which came in handy for me. I break through into the underground there and find a Skull Helmet guarded by 10-19 Bone Dragons; the dragons flee without a fight - I don't mind)) I assembled the Armor of the Damned, the chances of victory skyrocketed. I took the Dragon Utopia, it was a two-week one, nowhere to get meat, so I sacrificed everything I had, Greater Minotaurs took the brunt of the losses. It gave me Angel Wings and a Red Orb! Excellent!!! That made the game a win for me)). I took the Gauntlets guarded by Centaurs, and decided to go to the opponent to get Archangels and upgrade the demons along the way. I remember a case before the final: I enter a Cyclops Stockpile to demon-farm 100 Greater Troglodytes, give all artifacts to the scout hero and forget to remove the Red Orb... since it was Tazar without a spell book, it was impossible to tell I had the Red Orb... until all the Troglodytes were killed, and the Pits couldn't demon-farm them because of the Red Orb!!! An unpleasant mistake... I ask the auto, he gives it to me (for which, many thanks;)). Without the Red Orb, I demon-farm the remaining meat +40 demons. I upgrade them, resulting in 149 Greater Demons... I decide to go to the opponent and make a surprise. The Tava shows that my army is stronger, and the Red Orb with the Armor of the Damned seals the deal. On week 2, day 2, 1 I see the opponent's main hero, but I don't make it there in time... oh well, at least I found him! I think I'll get Archangels and leave the opponent no chance of victory, but it was not to be... on week 2, day 2, 2 the final battle happens (since he was red). He of course spotted the armor, but he never expected the Red Orb... He attacked only because of good magic (and he was dealt a godly hand: a Cowl, КЗ, a Helm of mana). I win the final battle, kill the opponent's hero, take his artifacts - victory.
Thanks for the game!)
P.S. I don't know if it had any effect that Krivoruchko started the game and D-neez finished it, but it turned out interesting anyway.;)

Ending games with a replacement player, in my opinion, is incorrect. Losses should be awarded for such games, and the replacement player should start from scratch with the remaining time.

I think it's incorrect to end games with a replacement. Losses should be given for such games, and the replacement should play the remaining games from scratch.

I'll figure out who to give losses to and who not to. Any result is ALWAYS better than a coin flip or tech advantage.

In emergency situations, with mutual consent, it's perfectly acceptable, especially when there isn't enough time to play a new game, considering the significant lead in games and the few days remaining until the end of the group stage. If games are played on saves and someone's computer crashes, I don't see another option.

There were 5 cons, I took 3, and I was going to take the last one and go for the utopia, but my opponent gave up....

Thanks for the game.
