Thanks for the game.
They caught my scout hero with an army in the center, there was no fight. I bought him back and tried to intercept the opponent's main with Rissa and gloves, but she was caught.

24.11.12 OUTLAW (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr/Tazar) DRAW darkello (red, Conflux, random, Grindan, Grindan), 8MM6a, 1-1-5
Started with 5 free elves. Expanded, visited 2 arenas, Tazar became a powerful hero. Got boots and gloves from the top-tier creatures – great. Decent amount of gold for developing the castle in the early game... In the end, after several days of trying to connect for a normal game without the internet dropping every turn, it didn't work out. It was my fault, but I couldn't do anything about it physically... I'm on a business trip in the field, and the weather conditions don't allow for a stable internet connection (3G modem).
Therefore, after talking with my opponent, we decided to end the ordeal with a draw.
Thank you for your patience and the game!

24.11.12 JustObserver (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Hermit (red, Swamp, Tazar, Païra), Balance, 141

Could not expect a Balance pick against Dungeon, but it didn’t help me at all; I wasted all restarts on empty spawns, the only good one was restarted by the opp, came to play a monstrous mess — even though there were 2 native heroes in the tavern, there were no roads to the adjacent zone, and there were no treasure spots anywhere except in the central zones. The only positive moment was Shakti’s leveling — everything was simply perfect: attack, defense, tactics, logistics, earth, though experience was tight.

In the end, by the third week I reached the center, where I met the opp, who immediately ran into the treasure zone; I chased after him, the tavern showed my lead in creature strength, and in magic we were both nothing special, so at 141 the opp got wiped in the treasure zone and surrendered. Thanks for the game.

Don't make a fuss, everything's fine. Drako is already making it to the playoffs, but Oelm switched lanes...

Don't make a fuss, everything is fine))) Dragon will still make it to the playoffs, but Oelm switched lanes....
Please explain, because I see that in case of defeat, darkello either simply didn't qualify, or due to a combination of circumstances, there would be a tie for three players. If I'm wrong and I'm starting to criticize the players for no reason, I apologize in advance.

I don't quite understand the position of the player who has nothing to do with our group... You sort it out among yourselves. That's a -1.
2nd: Berger's coefficient hasn't been canceled out when the scores are equal - and there, if I'm not mistaken, Darkello and the others have different coefficients (VanyaM still has a game in reserve).
3rd: this game doesn't matter much to me, although of course I would have liked to finish with a 100% result, and to avoid the spread of negativity, I could have just not played it, then Darkello would have left the group without much fuss.
But here, I clearly explained that I don't have the physical (or rather, technical) ability to play until the weather changes or a miracle happens.

My last game was a complete circus. We were supposed to play on Monday, but my opponent didn't show up. He messaged me on Wednesday or Thursday at 10:30 PM my time, and of course, I refused to play. So, either I lose, or he does – I have no desire to play with such a person.

bRitvo4kA (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Mephala) def Huanito (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar), Jebus Cross, 146
At the beginning I played terribly and thought I would lose, but after taking a good home Dragon Utopia, I began to lead in stats; then I found a red orb which was very useful against Tazar's huge spell power.



Thanks to slightly higher combat stats and the "chupa-chups", victory was mine in all battles. Additionally, in the first battle of the first round, my main stacks were decimated.

My last game was a total circus, we were supposed to play on Monday, but the opponent didn't show up, he wrote to me on Wednesday or Thursday at 22-30 my time, of course I refused to play, so either I get a loss, or he does — I have no desire to play with such a character.

Looks like his no-show for now. Try to play, since your tech loss might affect the outcome.

In my match with him, it's a somewhat similar situation.

I messaged him on ICQ — silence. Caught him in the VT chat — introduced myself, agreed on tomorrow. And he disappeared for a long time)))
Then messages come through GR from someone named Tyraxor. Very meaningful — "Hi" :D I wasn't in a hurry to reply — there are plenty of such Tyraxors on GR, obviously. And all world champions on 2 minutes.

Then when he finally introduced himself, we started. No restarts, and on his 112 he had to leave.

We continued after about a week. He didn't have the save, I didn't insist, considering that on VCL the guy has issues with justice:) After a week of play, he had to leave again.:confused: :confused: :confused:
But the funniest part is that as soon as I had a relatively tricky situation, like taking a maxi crypt with a scout hero, the chat would get flooded with nonsense like "I win?", "gg" and happy smileys))) You can take that in different ways))

And since I mentioned this game, I want to return to the recent round of arguments about what is good and what is bad. About VT and SoD, of course. I tried to play carefully (as Rampart) and for battles with fast units I tried to place fighters with tactics. Attacked 44 gr Centaur, excellent terrain, deployed 2x3 Dwarves to be sacrificed, hiding the Centaurs behind 4 singles. And in 2 rounds, 4 morale procs, after which what remained of the normal Centaur stack was fit only for feeding. I don't know about others, but for me it's much more interesting in the game to rely on my own strength than to chase adrenaline))

That’s the whole point of SoD; relying on such things in battles, even when everything is predictable, stops being enjoyable – you might as well complain about the map generator!

11/24/12 OUTLAW(blue,Rampart,Kyrre,Kyrre/Tazar) DRAW darkello(red,Conflux,random,Grindan,Grindan), 8MM6a, 1-1-5
Start with 5 free elves. Ran around, visited 2 arenas, Tazar as secondary. Have boots and gloves from the treaders - super. Good gold income for castle development on the first.....In the end, after several days of attempts to connect for a normal game without internet dropping every turn, it didn't work out. My fault, but here I physically couldn't help it... I'm on a business trip in the field and the weather conditions are not at all conducive to a stable internet (3G modem)/
So, after talking to my opponent, we decided to end the suffering with a draw result.
Thanks for the patience and the game!
At the start I have Grindan, a castle with Air Elementals built, resulting in 14 of them on day one, a bunch of resources, 4 crypts (looted on 112!), 2 Griffin Conservatories (4 Rocs and some more), 2 Wyvern Nests, an external dwelling of Manticores, Water Elementals, and Fire Elementals... Birds were planned in the citadel by week 1 day 1-1-7.
After talking to my opponent, we agreed to end the suffering with a draw result.

I agree. Although I haven't played BT, I think everything is good in its own way. Some people get lucky with the map generator, others get 4 morale, and you have to be able to make the best of it. I'm not doing very well at it yet).

yarzapp(stronghold, Gundula, Crag Hack) def Gondza(castle, Valesca, Monere), jebus XL, 131

The map was strange (about 8 pandoras - 80 goblins, 50 wolves, 30 ogres, some exp and all earth magic). Dwells generally sucked (1 bird, 2 wolves, 1 goblin, 1 ork), 3 hives (lucky - 28 wyves), 1 cons (2 angels). Had book of earth and shield +4 all in my zone, which was big and finally I was preparing to break at 131, then in 127 opponent killed my Gundula with 2 angels (fortunately without artifacts) then took my town. He had 6 angels, 4 wyverns and 10 marksmen. I attacked him in my town with 7 lvl Crag (no spell book), there would be a problem if he would destroy my catapult so I had a great problem (he casted mass haste and mass slow). One time opponent made crucial mistake, when he attacked my birds with waited angel after moral, so all my units could kill him.
Thanks for a game, it was fun ;-)
