It seems to me that the rules imply a color change only after subjective restarts.

There is a list of restarts, and then a point - - after each restart, the players change colors. The interpretation is that it applies to all restarts.
I don't see anything wrong with that. Everything is random; the player who was at the top of the table always started with the red color, and I was in the lower part and always started with blue, but the color randomized due to various restarts.

I didn't think about that; it sounds logical.

Good point, but of course, the color change only occurs after subjective restarts.

Kalababa has his own interpretation of the rules. In every M200 tournament, people argue about a bunch of minor details that still haven't been clarified in the rules. Moreover, the opinion of the organizers often contradicts the rules. So, what should we believe? Maybe it's time to make some amendments to avoid questions?

Both completely retreated, and in the end the opponent had a terrible layout with minimum gold and strong blocks. Everything was fine for me — 1-3 in the Citadel, a gremlin external dwelling, an external market, I captured almost all mines except for 1 gold and gems, a couple of water mills.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game. As always, I say, luck favors the strong, so good luck in the final stage!

Got completely wrecked
Medium roads, no harpies
111 - little gold, but in the tavern Shakti with 3 stacks and Eleshar with all stacks
112 - Shakti is hired, I rush into the sandy secondary, break through 20+ dogs for a ring of life. The secondary is completely blocked by a town portal to the opponent with 20+ pit fiends, harpies at home
113 - I take a crypt on the sands before the max (helmet +2 knowledge), at the entrance to the treasure zone I notice boots behind zombies). Town hall at home. Respawn is big and poor.
114 - I bring some meat, break into the treasure zone (shooters, but they didn't want to fight, I didn't insist)). The treasure zone looks empty. Rings at home.
115 - Shakti scouts - the treasure zone is completely empty. There is one Pandora's box with 10+ Minotaur Kings. While I was thinking what to do - a doorbell, someone flooded someone. In a panic I run to the far crypt and retreat - there's a mini. Citadel at home.
116 - I decide to take out the minotaurs after all. It went well - I lost 10 Troglodytes, the Rampart mana and a couple of Eyes. In the Pandora's box there are 50 zombies. I run to take the last crypt and get ready to go to the opponent's treasure zone. Marketplace at home.
117 - Crypt before the max, I'm standing at the guard of the portal to the opponent's treasure zone (80 Wood Elves with a Golden Bow). Eyes at home.
121 - Epic day. Epic, because I got Anti-Morale) It only showed itself negatively once, when a fat stack of Harpies was supposed to block 2 stacks of Gog Magogs according to the plan, but... -60 Troglodytes :D Actually, I upgraded the Harpies, brought the whole army. First the Elves, on the other side 80+ Magogs. There are stables and a Dragon Fly Hive behind a horde of Ghosts.
122 - I break through the Dragon Fly Hive and take it (6 Wyverns), then I run forward with Shakti on the Wyverns - I spot the opponent, turn around, and I was 1 movement short of passing the army to Shakti. Well, I think I have money to hire him, I think it'll be fine. The opponent doesn't quite reach Shakti, but sends a scout hero to the tavern.
123 - The opponent has a decent army, my stats are better.. I decide to trade castles, because I saw a Pandora's box in the opponent's treasure zone that was left behind him - I take it - there's 5k experience. The opponent ran to take my castle.
124 - I go to the opponent, along the way another 5k experience for 48 Griffins. Skills are ideal - Attack, Defense, Logistics, Tactics, Earth Magic. I approach the opponent's town. The Troglodytes are gone)) The opponent takes my castle, where Christian was sitting with Medusas. I harassed the Gogs.
125 - I take the town, finally buy a spell book, kill two weaklings, take a Dwarf Cottage, ran to take Inferno. The opponent is running into my treasure zone
126 - Marius is holed up in Inferno with a small mana pool and a castle, there are several stat boosters in front of the castle, I stopped in front of them.
127 - I take the stat boosters, attack the castle - good, I handle the guards calmly, although they halved my Eyes) On his turn, the opponent scouts in my treasure zone, probably sees that everything is empty and concedes.

Thanks for the game!


27.01.13 c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (blue, Fortress, Voi, Voi) lose ~no1_knows_me~ (red, barb, Gundula, Sandro) 121 skirmish
Got completely wrecked again)
Medium roads, Lizardmen not built.

111 - I hire Malcolm and send him deep into the respawn for gold, I build Lizardmen in the castle.
112 - I hire Stig, hire some Lizardmen, bring the army to Voi, she breaks through the passage to the secondary on Inferno ground. A lot of gold was scattered, so the fact that the opponent grabbed a village on the second day doesn't bother me much) Nothing is being built
113 - I hire Adelaide, gather stacks. There's an external dwelling of Gnolls. Voi couldn't take the Necropolis secondary in one turn, the roads are very long. The Gnoll power stack isn't great. The opponent also has 4 heroes, looks like things are going quite well for him) I build a Town Hall.
114 - Voi tries to run to the Necropolis village, but again there's a block, this time 20+ Griffins for an Arena and resources. A body with +2 spell power is visible. In general, I see a lot of +stats for the mage, but when and whom to run through them is unclear( A chain for bringing meat is barely being built. I build Wyverns.
115 - I hire the Wyverns and the remaining Lizardmen, deliver them to Voi, she breaks through 24 Griffins with a loss of a dozen Centaurs and Gnolls. No buildings...
116 - I finally take the secondary. At home - Citadel, in the secondary there's a tavern. Not enough time, maybe I should have hired a hero and he could have run for gold, but I didn't want to risk it. A scout reveals the only exit that's visible and it looks very tasty, but guarded by 10+ Thunderbirds..
117 - I return the army home, not enough money, I put everyone I can on mills. I build Serpent Flies at home, result is 1-3, 6 in the Citadel with 1000. Not enough wood for marketplaces..
121 - Korbac is in the tavern, I upgrade Lizardmen, hire them, a couple of Dragon Flies and a Wyvern. Everything goes through the chain to Voi and she attacks 40 Cerberi on home ground...and loses o_O. I underestimated.

Thanks for the game)


27.01.13 c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (red, Inferno, Rashka, Rashka) lose ~no1_knows_me~ (blue, Fortress, Broghild, Alkin) 126 2sm2c
I'll describe this game in general, the opponent has more to tell here))
The opponent had 1 rest left, I took everything. Roads are slow.
+ gold was above average
+ external dwelling of Minotaurs
+ portal accordingly
+ easily found exit to the home treasure zone

- no hero with good skills
- secondary zone is sands
- in GM1 no useful spells
- in GM2 no useful spells
- home treasure zone EMPTY (exception, hat +4 knowledge and boots behind 36 Wyverns) and yes, a gold mine))
- passage to the opponent's treasure zone through a kilometer of sand

that's from my side, the opponent has it easy) At the end I failed, my brain was already fried. I attacked a portal, thought it was to the opponent's treasure zone, but it was a portal to his main. As a result, 20+ Fanatics (well, 40) violated my guys.

Thanks for the fight, good luck in the finals!)

Game 1:

Rests ended, and I got Inferno vs Dungeon :o well that's only half the trouble, but in the tavern Shakti is showing :smile07: Got some gold, I break through to a secondary town, take Rampart. Scouting reveals a couple of Pandora's Boxes and a Dragon Fly Hive - well, it got more fun :) At home I built 1-2-4-6 in the Citadel. With the new week, new troubles begin. In the treasure zone I get to a lookout tower and spot Miner near the Dragon Fly Hive - what to do? Two choices: seems like I can set up a chain and try to cover the Miner, or go eat the Pandora's Boxes and the Dragon Fly Hive... but after thinking it over, I figure the Miner will buy himself out now, and I'll calmly eat everything later... not a chance :smile35: I'm 100 MP short of reaching the Miner on Wyverns... and there he is with boots and Logging, on stables, outran me and ate all the good stuff... I wouldn't have caught him... took my opponent's main, went into his treasure zone, got to the Observatory - and there's emptiness everywhere :smile15:

Game 2

Got Barbarian vs Swamp...
111. Wolves built. With Gundula I collected 2500 and Yog went to break through 20-49 slingers. The beasts messed up a couple of times and took out 5 wolves. Dug up a Cape in a cart +2\2 attack and knowledge.
112. Took Necropolis, Fiur shows with scouting - bummer. Home respawn is small, where Necropolis is there are only dig sites and that's it, and from there 3 passages into treasure zones that are decently guarded.
113. Took Sandro too - maybe I can necromancy something.
114. Gundula stood before the portal with 20-49 Ogre Mages, I think with Slow, Orcs, and meat I'll manage somehow.
115. Well I think I'll manage these, but on the other side there's still a surprise waiting - I fight off the dig sites.
116. Everything's so-so, I built Birds.
117. Placed a Citadel.
121. Decided to send Sandro against the Ogres - 6 birds, almost 30 Orcs, 19 Wolves, and a few Fairies. Auto-combat shows a loss :smile34: I press cancel and go myself: there are 24 Ogre Mages in 5 stacks - after the battle I come out with 6 birds and 9 Orcs. On the other side 20-49 upgraded Crusaders :smile45: Behind them a Conflux is showing and a Pandora's Box behind Golems. Where to go I don't know... Army is battered, gold 0... Sandro's shooter became 66 - there's a Dwarf Cottage near the main, and next to it a Mana Doubler... well I head there, at least I can fight with a shooter...
News of the loss arrives...

Game 3

First I got Barbarian vs Tower, the layout is so-so, but I don't take the rest because my opponent got Piquedram :D so 111, then Rampart vs Tower, rest again, then I'm Tower and opponent is Barbarian - I take the rest. And it gives Swamp vs Inferno, naturally there's no need to take the rest :)

111. Lizardmen built, Broghild arrives... no gold for a second hero, but lots of stacks are showing. Near home is a Griffin Conservatory. :smile12:
112. I hire Alkin. Roads are slow, don't let me collect all the gold.
113. Took Yog too, passage to the adjacent zone is guarded by Undead. Building the Citadel.
114. Broke through but didn't reach the secondary town. Scouting revealed my respawn and a bit of treasure zone... there are a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and Pandora's Boxes... nothing much, but one Dragon Fly Hive with a Pandora's Box guarded by 10-19 Harpies :eek: At home I built Wyverns.
115. Took Conflux, buy Piquedram there.
116. Spotted Mercury and Sulfur with scouting, catastrophically short for Serpents.. and also Pepps for speed - I run there. Serpents at home.
117. A loser reveals a Pandora's Box guarded by 20-49 Marksmen, Alkin gets beaten up and goes to eat it. At home, together with the external market, I managed to build Cows :smile12:
121. Catastrophe, the loser with 21 Lizardmen and 19 Gnolls got wrecked by 120 Goblins for Pepps and a campfire :smile10: they devoured him completely. Fairies and Air Elementals are brought to Brogh, he finishes off those vile creatures. Plans shifted a bit... no big deal, thankfully there's gold...
122. Chains deliver upgraded Serpents and Alkin takes a box for 5k XP.
123. I take a Sword +3. In the Mercenary Camp sits a Devil :smile41: we buy him out.
124. Alkin gets beaten up on the way home, wants to take the Griffin Conservatory - though it's strong, if it's fat I'll go into the revealed treasure zone.
125. I specially hire the loser to check the Griffin Conservatory - it has 2 Angels :smile20: I bring the army and take it (1 Devil, 5 Wyverns, 7 Gorgons, 50+ Gnolls and a few Flies - I managed to take it nicely with the loss of Flies and Gnolls... 15 Griffins remained, and the Gorgons and Wyverns had 6 HP each... I thought about who to sacrifice, thankfully the chat suggested flying everyone away, and the Devil would handle it himself :smile08: and that's how it was :smile44: well, it got really fun, though they keep trying to shove Water into Alkin... so for now Expert Armor, Offense, and Logistics - already aiming for the treasure zone.
But news of the loss arrives, the opponent hesitated on the 20-49 upgraded Monks, thinking they guarded the portal to my treasure zone, but they were actually GO, the portal was to my main...

thanks for the games, it was fun :smile20:

it smells like a final, and it wouldn't be right if it passed without a stream, at the very least, with 2 team viewers and 1-2 streamer commentators, as it used to be :rolleyes:
