Gentlemen, I have a question: what should I do if I get the following message when trying to join a Hamachi network:
"This network appears to be full"?

Just create another network.
For some reason, there are very few people that can join the network right now.

Create a different network.

KPD = NRXIA R AK 2-2 Game 1 KPD (Stronghold) lose to NRXIA R AK (Stronghold) In the very first game, I used up all my rests. No comments, I'm a noob, and the Book of Death is useless. 0-1 Game 2 KPD (Stronghold) def NRXIA R AK (Nature) I have a Life Grand Master with a book, Dragon Shield, Protective Cloak, and Protective Ring. My opponent has a Chaos Grand Master. In the battle, I immediately retreated to Sanctuary and protected my Grand Master with Cyclops throughout the rest of the fight. The opponent tried to kill my Life Grand Master throughout the entire battle. In the end, he succeeded, but at the cost of almost all his attack stacks. By the end of the battle, the opponent had 2 heroes without mana and 40 archers left. I finished them off with boulders. 1-1 Game 3 KPD (Death) def NRXIA R AK (Stronghold) I have an Order Grand Master with a book. The opponent has a lot of meat and lacks magic, tactics, and a tank. The victory was easy. Order resistance didn't help. Hypnotize, hypnotize, victory. 2-1 Game 4 KPD (Nature) lose to NRXIA R AK (Life) I have a Chaos Grand Master with a Chain Lightning spell and a Guardian Robe. The tactician has a Dwarven Shield. Both heroes have potions of immunity, cold, and hydra health. The opponent has an Order Grand Master with steal and illusion spells. A Staff of the Magi and a resistance cloak +50. The battle was short. The opponent stole all the bonuses from my troops and crushed me with meat and max morale. 2-2 Friendship won :) Good luck to the opponent in the next games.

Used all my restarts in the very first game.

Zybr
Are 2 restarts given to each player for all 4 duels, or for each duel?

Game One
Havr(Life) def Norwin(Nature)
Had champions, crusaders, pikemen, and I don't remember what else from the small fry. The magic in the town wasn't great, so I took an Order mage with Berserk and Hypnosis. I also advanced Order for the tactic from the second-level book being sold. My opponent had tacticians, a druid Mage Guild, and Gargoyles. I charged forward with everything immediately, blocking the heroes from the Gargoyles. My opponent had an Order shield, so I went through a few unpleasant minutes :) But it worked out. In the end, on the second day, I killed the heroes and everything was fine.

1-0

Game Two
Havr(Life) def Norwin(Death)
This time, Angels, Crusaders, and I don't remember the rest :) Among the heroes, again a tactician and an Order Mage Guild, again with Hypnosis :) I recall on the first turn I cast Slow with the Order mage; at the start of the second turn, I killed the opponent's Necromancer Mage Guild and cast Hypnosis on the Demons. My opponent surrendered.

2-0

Game Three
Havr(Nature) def Norwin(Life)
I had to worry in this game. Nature had a bad monster lineup, a wide spread. In the end, I had 8 Mantises, 34 Griffins, 124 Elves, 3 hundred Wolves, and a few Wasps. Among the heroes, a tactician with advanced Expert Nature and a Life Mage Guild with Divan and a bit more. My opponent had Champions, Crusaders, Pikemen, and 1.7K Peasants, a tactician, and an Order Mage Guild Priest. I got lucky with the morale spread — the Wasps moved before the opponent's Champions and cast Slow, then the tactician slowed them even more. I took the Peasants completely out of the fight. At the start of the second turn, I managed to remove Immortality from the tactician with the Mantises (losing all the Mantises to the Champions and Crusaders), and then finish him off with the Griffins. After that, everything became simple.

3-0

Game Four
Havr(Chaos) def Norwin(Order)
A decent monster lineup: 4 Black Dragons, 44 Goblins, a hundred Medusas, 5 hundred Orcs, and a hundred Troglodytes. I took an Assassin with Hand of Death and Call of Death (I thought there would be Sorceresses) and, naturally, a tactician. My opponent had a tactician and an Order Mage Guild, 7 Djinns, 4 dozen Nagas, a hundred and a half Mages, and small fry. I ran/flew my high-initiative guys in to kill the heroes; my opponent couldn't counter the Black Dragons and the powerful Goblin stack.

4-0

Thanks to my opponent for the games! :)

Optimal lose Zybr - 1-3

Game One
Optimal(Life) lose Zybr(Life)
I had Life Mage Guild with tactics (sledges) + Chaos Mage Guild with a book. At some point, my opponent positioned a tactics unit under a confusion spell, and from there it became easier.
0-1

Game Two
Optimal(Life) def Zybr(Order)
Again Life, this time with sledges, which he immediately retreated into. I just needed to block the path, since all his troops except angels were melee, but for some reason I teleported the nagas to the heroes. In the second round, morale triggered on the crusaders, who immediately killed the tactics unit.
1-1

Game Three
Optimal(Nature) lose Zybr(Chaos)
Lots of artifacts for tactics + robe of the guardian + confusion in the castle + 105 Evil Eyes. The 5 Champions were very scary, and my opponent also stood in a square formation, which made my task easier. Plus the dragon strength was immediately dispelled from the phoenixes.
1-2

Game Four
Optimal(Life) lose Zybr(Chaos)
I spent 2 of my restarts and ended up drawing a chocolate. Sovereigns with decent tactics + confusion + mass misfortune + robe + dragon shield. My opponent fought stubbornly, but the matchup was too favorable for me.

Thanks for the games and good luck in the future:)

I completely agree! Zybr demonstrated excellent battle skills, and I suffered a crushing defeat in two out of four games. The last battle was full of hope, strangely enough, relying on a horde of peasants! But against the King (even two of them), it wasn't enough! :)

Thank you for the game!

Hey everyone! If you want to add me on AIM, please leave a note about why you're adding me. I think I might have already declined someone's request...

I would write that you are NRXIA R AK)

Looking for Norwin.

Game one Shnurov_hl (Chaos) lost to NRXIA R AK (Death) First game on the tactics arena... Killed the enemy tactician, had 3 (THREE!!!) opportunities to protect my own tactician from being debuffed, but I declined all of them.... Received a debuff. After that, I buried the corpse in meat. 0-1 Game two Shnurov_hl (Chaos) defeated NRXIA R AK (Death) A rematch. But here, fast kings and finishing with a debuff decided the outcome. A quick first turn in my favor. Then, tactics. 1-1 Game three Shnurov_hl (Life) defeated NRXIA R AK (Barb) The opponent repeated the mistake from the first game. Instead of debuffing the life mage (he seemed to have a Chaos Book), he finished him off with lightning... Angels resurrected him, a sanctuary, a crowd of crusaders, 8 angels, a life mage with a book.... In general, the barbarians couldn't handle it. 2-1 Game four Shnurov_hl (Order) defeated NRXIA R AK (Order) The opponent had no restarts left. (In the fourth game, he restarted a Barbarian-Barbarian with a Book of Order against me). But here, it was just a perfect setup: 1000 halflings, an Order mage with hypnosis and berserk, a tactician with advanced life (martyr, song of peace), 192 mages, 41 djinn, 1+5 archers, and most importantly, the Ring of Constancy! I freely applied mass slow to the enemy, removed enchantments... And his mages were forced to implode... Considering the martyr on 1000 halflings and hypnosis on the nagas, the outcome was clear. A perfect setup. 3-1 Thank you to my opponent for the games!

Game 1
Havr(Life) def GoedenDag(Death)
1-0

Game 2
Havr(Chaos) def GoedenDag(Might)
2-0

Game 3
Havr(Might) def GoedenDag(Chaos)
3-0

Game 4
Havr(Chaos) def GoedenDag(Order)

In all four games, the opponent kept forgetting/misusing the Immortal ability, and the Tactician was often left in the front row.

Thanks to the opponent for the games!:)
