I agree, it would be good to announce the templates in advance... otherwise, you don't immediately start playing in the tournament, but spend days studying the template.

but the point is that the unexpectedness is the main feature of this tournament.

March 28, 2013. bubuch (blue, Castle, Valeska, Turis) def. BorzoiD (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tant) Panic 141
In the final, I defended in my starting castle, managed to destroy the catapult, and as a result, 500 skeletons were peacefully strolling along the moat. My opponent didn't have enough money to buy anything.
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed.
I played the Fortress badly again, and since it was on day 137, I didn't have enough time to trade for resources to buy a hero.
Thanks for the game!

23.03.2013 HellLighT (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Clavius) def WiZarDX_576 (red, Rampart, Ivor, Solmyr) panic 127

Big respawn, Shakti with 2 stacks, 2 Necros arrived, Clavius and Isra + starting artifact +5% Necromancy, external market and lots of guarded treasure chests... on day 112 I popped a Trog Griffin Conservatory with GS, dispelled the Spirit of Despair, on day 115 I took a Necro village, sword +3, by day 117 I already had 223 Skeletons, 80 Trogs left in town 1-3, because I decided to go Transformer, and I luckily pulled a hero from prison with Gremlins, and on the second week another hero with Gremlins arrived). On day 121 I buy up, on day 122 full transform, totaling 500 Skeletons + upgraded Harpies, the triple Conservatory falls almost without losses, I keep necromancing everything I see, breaking through straight along the road and off-road via portal... my snow area turned out to be absolutely empty oO 5 piles of gold, a lookout and a gold mine... I sent 1 Angel with Charm to reclaim the Necromancer's Cloak via off-road, and by day 125 I just barely didn't reach the opponent's Necro village with the keyboard, ending up right in front of it with 720 Skeletons and 2 Angels, then Solmyr attacks with 6 expert air and 110 mana (troops in pictures), he killed 60 Skeletons per meteor shower, battle outcome - Solmyr killed, 520 Skeletons left (including those that rose), both Angels died, I immediately bring another Angel and a few Skeletons, resulting in 620... and again I don't reach another village, here comes the moment I would like to explain for gifted newbies who think you should ALWAYS play until the end. At 5+ AM Moscow time and my 8+ AM, even though during the opponent's turn in the first fortnight I managed to watch a movie, but after all this, 6-7 heroes attack with singles, shaving off 5-10 Skeletons from me (3-4 of which resurrect) in the hope that Solmyr will return to the tavern and pull off the game... when the opponent is coming through the only passage with an unbeatable army, well, that's absurd and disrespectful to the opponent... in the end, after wasting another hour of my poorly spent time, at the end of the turn the opponent surrenders. THANKS FOR THE GAME!:smile45: :mad: :smile33: :smile07: :smile15: :smile35:

...here's a moment I'd like to explain to some less experienced players, who think that you ALWAYS have to play until the very end. At 5+ AM Moscow time, and 8+ AM my time, even though I managed to watch a movie during the opponent's turn in the first fort battle, he then attacks with 6-7 heroes, each with only one unit, shaving off 5-10 skeletons (3-4 of which are resurrected) in the hope that Solmyr will return to the tavern and turn the game around... when the opponent is marching with an invincible army through the only available path, it's absurd and disrespectful to the opponent... in the end, after wasting another hour of my time, the opponent surrenders at the end of his turn. THANKS FOR THE GAME!:smile45: :mad: :smile33: :smile07: :smile15: :smile35:

Let's compare this with

p.s. Fight and bite until the very end, I've been convinced by my own experience more than once that nothing is impossible)

:smile04:

You see, the situation is similar, but this guy didn't even stand a chance against Solmyr, so it was a complete waste of time, which is what I wrote about.

Did he have any chance at all... - It's up to him to evaluate. For example, due to some major mistake of yours. Because you know how many people there are who shout, "Surrender, you have no chance, you're wasting time." Come and kill him - that's what the rules require. It's not the opponent who's wasting time - it's you who can't/isn't able to kill him quickly. And this guy enjoys just running around with his units, and maybe his goal was to last as long as possible and toughen up.

HellLighT, don't get upset, it's actually a commendable will to win!

Throughout the game, I messaged him a couple of times, once on Facebook, and another time when he started attacking with single units in Heroes. I thought maybe he had some plan, other than just wanting to find Solmyr. He could have bought all the Heroes with his money and checked if it would work, instead of tormenting his opponent for an hour by attacking with single units. With that, I ended this silly argument, which, as I noticed, you seem to have an unhealthy obsession with.

Actually, there is a line between playing until the very end and simply wasting time. The problem is that it's not always possible to accurately assess your chances of winning. Perhaps the Wizard thought there was still hope for victory, and I'm sure he wasn't intentionally dragging out the game.

31.03.2013 LeBron (blue, castle, Valeska, Galthran) def Dima Surmay (red, stronghold, Gundula, Aislinn) panic 142
The start was very pleasant: bowmen were built, Val has 3 stacks, on turn 4 I recruit Galthran, immediately leveling the necro. On the respawn, there are 2 external bowman dwellings and 1 cons (veeeery far). But the joys of the setup ended there — complete poverty, empty respawns, and Galthran had to take Wisdom at level 6. On day 2, I took a couple of villages, the opponent is not visible, but I know there is a necro player. On day 3, Aislinn scouts stats at 7 6, which is very scary since Galthran is quite weak and the army is 250 skeletons and 50 archers, but in the necro town, the Mage Guild is built and there is Town Portal! So now I control the map; I build the transformer and upgrade the skeletons, plenty of mana with Intelligence and Vortex, but there is no Slow or damaging spell. The opponent captures my dungeon with MG3 and Vortex; I had to attack, though powering up would clearly have been more beneficial.
There: 7 stone golems, 400 skeletal warriors, 22 mighty gorgons, 78 grand orcs, and chaff.
Me: 1k grand skeletons, 3 angels, 120 archers, 9 champions, 50 grand griffins.
Right away I get Meteor Shower on the archers and skeletons; in response, Mass Shield and spreading out from the meteor, I block the orcs with the angel, and predictably receive Mass Slow and a hit on the angels, Teleport into the skeletons, and the bears pass into the other world. Could have stopped there.
Thank you for the game!

03/31/2013 Dirty_Player (red, Fortress, Bron, Moandor) def Ihtiandr (blue, Castle, Valeska, Alkin) panic 126

The start was good; he immediately revealed 2 resource nodes and Moandor arrived. Later, 2 hidden packs of gnolls were found, but they were very far away. There was almost no money, and at the exit, there was a small respawn point where he defended against a Necromancer and obtained a Necromantic Cloak and a Dragon Sword. He finished the first week with 6 heroes and Vivians in the Fortress. On day 121, he took a mini-gnoll lair and a mini-resource node. The looters in the depths of the respawn point found another gnoll lair with 15 units; the second resource node turned out to be a level 2 node. Meanwhile, he built a Guildhall in the Necropolis, and received the skills "Animate Dead" and "Resurrection." Things started to improve, and the secondary heroes captured towns. On day 126, they paused, but couldn't continue. In any case, thank you for the game.

We have a game in progress with Player_. Can we finish it today? And if so, until what time (Moscow time)? He only became available on Thursday at 10:00 PM. And we couldn't properly coordinate in the remaining days.
