R55MAX, if it's still relevant, I'll have to register for ICQ today. I'll try to figure it out, and if I can, I'll add you this evening.

05/22/2013. CuC9CTblu (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar) def Akella (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) JC. 112.
He played well (2 cons and a mantichore ambush + 2 native heroes), and his opponent apparently wasn't doing so well, at level 112.

I think this is the first time I've seen such a setup on Jebus. On the second day, I only emerged into the open from the tunnel leading from the castle (there's only one path). From here, I discovered 4 heroes in total, although I did reveal the outer layer of horses. However, the guards have a level of 49, and there are Great Basilisks. With this setup, it's just torture to play =(
Good luck to my opponent in the next matches, and may they not encounter such setups =)

Go ahead and register, I'll be online in the evening.

I registered for ICQ through Facebook. The new version is very convenient, with no problems or lags, which is surprising for me. I haven't used ICQ for so many years; have they finally perfected it?
R55MAX, I've added you; if needed, my ICQ is: 673980709.

BorzoiD I'm not planning on playing this weekend either! Show up so we can arrange a game!:smile12:

Today is the 7th day of the tournament! All players must agree on game dates today! Those who do not respond to attempts by participants to agree on a date for the game will have to adjust to one of the 3 dates that the active party will propose!

BorzoiD I'm not planning to play this weekend either! Show up so we can agree on a game date!:smile12:

If you don't get in touch, write to me in a private message with your dates. Game dates should be specified starting on Monday, as the opponent has 3 days to read the message and choose at least one of them.

P.S. This is how everyone should do it if they have similar problems.

Added 5 hours 27 minutes ago
I wrote it a little incorrectly above; the opponent doesn't have 3 days to read the message, but 3 days to respond to this message, indicating which date he will be available.

Scorpiona - BorzoiD:

BorzoiD is not getting in touch; Scorpiona has chosen the following dates for the games:

1. 25.05 - Saturday: Game starts at 19.00 and ends at 00.00 (Moscow time)
2. 26.05 - Sunday: Starts at 19.00 and ends at 00.00 (Moscow time)
3. 29.05 - Wednesday: Starts at 11.00 and ends at 00.00 (Moscow time)

If BorzoiD doesn't respond by Monday, Scorpionа can refuse to play on other days, and a technical result will be recorded at the end of the tournament.

23.05.2013 ~no1_knows_me~ (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Lem (blue, Conflux, Jhelar, Gurni), JC, 126

Opp picked all the rests, I took my two and here's what I see on day one:

111. Boots behind the dwarf army, an external dwelling of Dendroids visible, cleared the guard of the external dwelling of Horses, there's a box behind the rags, Dwarf Cottage visible... split is 4 heroes though, but that's not a resign.
112. Revealed Wings :rolleyes: behind 50-99 gray Peasants, Kyrre goes to the stables. ГО guarded by 10-19 gray Hydras :smile20:
113. Gold just enough for buildings, have 6 heroes, took the external dwelling of Dendroids. The road to the only secondary hero is blocked by 50-99 gray Harpies guarding a Club and a +1 Leather Armor.
114. Barely capture the Dwarf Cottage on [week] 1 [month] 5, Kyrre scouts, nothing much to do, no way to clear the external dwelling of Horses... sadness... have 2 Dragon Fly Hives
115. Scouting the spawn. There's a box behind 50-99 Bows, which could be attempted with 4 Horses, but don't have them yet :smile04:
116. I swap heroes.
117. Grogs clear the external dwelling of Horses, sacrificing 7 Elves to feed the stupid :mad: Aislin with Meteor Shower breaks the box guard, but Kyrre couldn't reach it. Gold 0 and no way to get any.
121. In the box 10k gold :smile12: bought all the Horses.
122. Took with Kyrre the box for 5k experience, got Earth and Armor :smile20: Picked up the Speed Boots and rushed home to grab the Spell Book. Grogs break through the Harpies, take the Club and capture the Inferno secondary town.
123. Grog stands on a Dragon Fly Hive, Kyrre at the stables and aimed at the second Dragon Fly Hive.
124. +6 Wyverns, Kyrre takes another +6 Wyverns and on Gnolls levels up Earth expertise :smile01:
125. Mana 10, only enough for 2 casts: on Pegasi for the Wings and on ГО... But the Pegasi are jerks, demanded 7 mana for the cast :( had to sit around near ГО, luckily there was an artifact for +1 mana, otherwise I'd have to rush home.
126. 19 Hydras fell without major losses, Grogs at the stables head out to scout, have two Telescope artifacts, so vision is good, no sign of blue along the path yet, so it's decided to Fly Kyrre over the mountains and sit in the central swamp to regen 10 mana :smile04: nearby 5-9 Gold Golems guard a Shield +4 All and a Dragon Fly Hive, another Dragon Fly Hive nearby... could maneuver, but news of surrender arrives...
it was a loss at ГО due to stupid play
thanks for the game

Opponent picked all the rests, I took my two and here's what I see on the first day:

111. Boots behind the dwarf horde, an external dwelling of dendroids visible, cleared the guard of the external dwelling of horses, there's a chest behind the rags, a Dwarf Cottage visible... a 4-hero spread, but that's not a resign.
112. Revealed wings :rolleyes: behind 50-99 tier pegasus, Kyrre is heading to the stables. ГО 10-19 tier hydras :smile20:
113. Just enough money for buildings, have 6 heroes, took the external dwelling of dendroids. The road to the only secondary is blocked by 50-99 tier harpies guarding a club and a +1 jacket.
114. Barely took the Dwarf Cottage on day 15, Kyrre scouts, nothing to do really, can't clear the external dwelling of horses... sad... have 2 Dragon Fly Hives
115. Scouting the spawn. There's a chest behind 50-99 archers that could be attempted with 4 horses, but don't have them yet :smile04:
116. Swapping heroes.
117. Lox clears the external dwelling of horses, sacrificing 7 elves to feeder loss due to misplay :mad: Aislinn with meteor breaks through the chest guard, but Kyrre didn't reach. 0 gold and no way to get more.
121. In the chest 10k gold :smile12: bought all the horses.
122. Took a chest for 5k exp with Kyrre, got earth and armor :smile20: Picked up speed boots and broke home to get a spell book. Loxes break through the harpies, take the club and capture the Inferno secondary.
123. Lox is at a Dragon Fly Hive, Kyrre at the stables and aimed at the second hive.
124. +6 Wyverns, Kyrre takes another +6 Wyverns and levels up earth exp on gnolls :smile01:
125. 10 mana, only enough for 2 slows: on pegasus for wings and on ГО... But the pegasi, damn, demanded 7 mana for the slow :( had to stall near ГО, good thing there was an artifact for +1 mana, otherwise I'd have to break home.
126. 19 hydras fell without major losses, loxes at stables scout ahead, have two telescopes so vision is fine, no blues on the path yet, so decided to have Kyrre fly over the mountains and squat in the central swamp to regen 10 mana :smile04: nearby 5-9 golds guard a +4 all shield and a Dragon Fly Hive, another hive nearby... could maneuver, but news of surrender arrives...
there was a loss at ГО due to misplay
thanks for the game

I confirm.
111. two roads out of the castle. revealed two Griffin Conservatories near the castle and external dwellings: 2 fire elementals, 1 water elemental, 1 psychic elemental. On one road a block of efreets, but can be bypassed. Spread into 4 heroes, relieved that the prot also did the same.
112. Collected a lot of gold and bought 8 heroes. Decided to level Gurnison. Started to bypass the block, but as it turned out, in vain. On the other road, the external dwelling of psychic elementals was guarded by cows :( and a block of horses was visible :mad:
113. Taking a scout around ГО: Dragon Utopia, two pandoras in the distance, an external dwelling of psychic elementals. With scout heroes found another Griffon Conservatory(1), two Dragon Fly Hives, an external dwelling of earth elementals :) . Gurnison broke and ran towards the hives.
114. Scout hero finds another Griffon Conservatory(2). Another scout hero at a fork to secondaries ran into blocks of centaurs and couldn't run further (after the game found out that on one side, which I never went to, there was a fat Griffon Conservatory). Gurnison still running to the hives (lots of mountains :( ). But I'm happy with the layout. Opponent has the same number of towns, fewer heroes :)
115. Break the guard of a hive (trees). Collect a bunch of gold and that's basically it. Opponent still the same, fewer heroes, one town.
116. Take a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns, reveal another Dragon Fly Hive, take troops with a scout hero, break through the centaurs and run to the castle and build chains between the Griffin Conservatories and the Dragon Fly Hive. At the second external dwelling of psychic elementals, reveal the guard — wizards :mad: there's also a Dragon Fly Hive there, but far to run.
117. As expected, build birds at home. Take a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns. Gurnison broke home and sits on the stack, regening mana. Scout heroes run to take the Griffin Conservatories. Carna sits in the external dwelling of air elementals.
121. Got scared to take Griffon Conservatory(2), attempted a sip, but didn't have enough movement points :( . empty turn :mad:
122 Take two Griffin Conservatory(2) with the loss of a duck. Decide not to take one, but to run to ГО, take it later with scout heroes, like another one that's also inconvenient to reach. Enough troops for ГО: 4 angels, 4 birds, 12 ducks, slow... Decent attack. ГО — greys of Wyverns and greys of Minotaurs.
123. Run to ГО, stop to regen on the way (efreets were in the way badly, but was afraid to fight them, and mana is precious). Scout hero finds an external dwelling of phoenixes :mad: :( . Plan for Carna to take two small pandoras through rough terrain, and leave all the tasty stuff I saw from the scout for Gurni. Save.
124. Make a chain to the Griffon Conservatory, Gurni stood tight to ГО and did an advanced air scry, saw that the prot is also planning to break ГО. Carna ran to the pandoras, took one: all level 2.
125. Second pandora for 30 ice elementals (not bad :) ). Break ГО (double, first the Wyverns)... thoughts in my head: so, Gurni has a tactic, meaning I'll set up in the battle, I attack, I make an illogical move for everyone, thinking it's a tactic, only the ice elementals stood in the corner. and then the Wyverns fly half the map in response :confused: . On the second turn cast slow. In the end, broke through, with the loss of 2 angels, 17 meat ice elementals, Wyverns... hope to break the Minotaurs, but morale, low mana, and the troops aren't the same anymore :( run away. thinking: soon the new week, have two Griffin Conservatories, two hives, can clear one external dwelling of psychic elementals and come out on the 3rd week; if the prot's situation is also bad, then fine.
126. do an air scry: the prot has filled the entire center, could have been at my ГО next turn if he wanted. Realize things are bad and surrender, though maybe I should have fought on.

Thanks for the game

d-neez, please let me know what time works best for you.

12.5.2013: Heroin_HP (blue, Necropolis, Gosh, Gosh) def Redsnow (red, barb, Crag, Crag) Jebus Cross 143.
Used all the restorations, I also took a restoration for the block because two secondary skills were blocked. You can immediately see the Necro cloak and the Dread Knight for 90 gr. of dwarves! Anyway, 87 skeletons and 14 zombies barely microed, the zombies saved me. But here again a block on one road with 60 gr. of Harpies for +1 speed, causing a 5-hero rout because of it. Killed with Haste just 9 on 9, otherwise they would have bitten harder. Took a Pandora's Box on day 113 with 50 gr. zombies and went back to where the block was — scouted a Pandora's Box and a Dragon Fly Hive on day 6, but the path to the second secondary skill is closed by 50+ elves. And right there were 2 stacks of Nightmares, which a hero on day 115, going through rough terrain, ignited, while Gosh was at the other end of the spawn, a chain of five heroes, and on day 117 he took Conservatory 1 and one stack of Nightmares, while Gosh was standing on the rout already near the GO, towards which he started moving while the Nightmare and Conservatory were being taken. GO on Round 3. And then it began, everything seemed fine, there's an external marketplace, but I miscalculated and simply didn't buy anything at all! Everything except the skeletons remained in the castle, and I bought 1 horse and that's it, and + when I attacked the GO, I positioned very poorly! Anyway, on day 121 I jumped into the center with a rout, and there absolutely nothing is taken! Days 121-123 just scouting and gathering everything I can to buy an army. Well, then I killed 50 gr. of Pit Fiends, the easiest guard, I thought there would be even more of them behind it, I took two Dragon Fly Hives for 14 ducks) and off I went. By the middle of the third week, I ate the entire center and farmed skeletons, therefore FB won!
Thanks for the game!

I confirm. Same issue with blocks, everything is bad and not on time.
Thank you for the game and your time.

26.05.2013 Oldboy (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Inteus) def Tag (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) Jebus 133

From the start, I was set on playing at a decent pace. And despite a somewhat awkward respawn, I managed to do so.
The awkwardness of the respawn was that the road to the GO was long and winding (going right from the town), while all the main goodies — of which there were only 1 portal, 1 external dwelling of horses, 1 Griffin Conservatory, and also a dubious university (but in a pinch I decided to grab that too) — were located on the opposite side of the respawn in the wasteland (roughly 40% of the respawn was just an open field blocked off by a mountain ridge to the left of the town). The university turned out to be very useful — I bought Earth Magic.

Besides the university, two circumstances helped me keep up with the pace.
Near the GO, there turned out to be a village after all, so I didn't have to run along the winding path; Gurney was simply hired from the tavern. And Gurney leveled up like a god. He reached 122, thanks to good skills. It was tough only on the first GO (Champions) without oil, with 6 angels, 50 marksmen, and trash. Earth Magic was leveled up right away, and it became easier.
On day 117, I also freed a well-leveled Inteus from prison. At first, he was catching up in levels, but by the final fight both papas were equally strong, and it was Inteus who took down Kyrre.

The opponent had a fairly good respawn, but he failed to capitalize on it. He lost the pace by a large margin.
