The game turned out to be incredibly long; in the second week, I lost 14 birds to a Thunder spell against 10-19 Nagas – they got 2 morale boosts in a row, and another one on the next turn to finish me off!(( This happened in the middle of the week, so I had to wait almost without an army until the next growth!( But my opponent also messed up, losing his main hero, Ivor, so I wasn't too far behind.
The final was tough; my opponent made his second main hero a mage and built a Guildhall-5, having an Explosion spell at 700. I would have lost if my opponent had enough mana for more than 3 spells! But I held on, shot him down with crossbows and an attack of 130, and then rushed in with wolves; as soon as the gates fell, the 20 attack power did its job!)
GG, thanks for the game.

Group "B" 06.07.2013 Grizvald (red, Citadel, Gurney, Gurney) def Black2185 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 131.

And again against Dungeon and again 131 :smile28: The opponent used up the full pool, I took two resets. On the first day, I candle a path to my native secondary - we play. On the first, I broke through to grass instead of my native secondary, took an external dwelling of elves, and they are in the Fort. At home, birds in the Citadel. On 117, the opponent bursts through the metro onto the grass, with an army of around a hundred Troglodytes, a few Harpies and Eyes. On 121, I attack without growth, followed by a surrender without a fight. I realize there are unlikely to be any goodies on the respawn there, so I bring 29 Grands to Gurney and head towards the opponent's main. On 125, I take the main, everything is dismal there, even the Citadel wasn't built. In short, the game didn't go well for the opponent. On 131, I attack and the opponent surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

Group E 05.07.2013 Alexey-omsk(red, Necro, Tanth, Tanth) def AttilA(blue, Citadel, Gurni, Gurni) 2sm4d(3), 136
Wrote it out decently, Necro and Tanth are already doing well. On the first week I see an external dwelling of horses behind a crowd of upgraded wolves, Necro gets bones, by the end of the week I break through, at home there are horses in the Citadel. On the second week I take a secondary hero, eat a Pandora's Box giving 20 Magma Elementals, by the end of the week the opponent arrives. I kill the horses, by week 127 I have about 300 bones. The opponent runs into a treasure zone. I take reinforcements and go towards the opponent first, but scouting says that right at the entrance to the treasure zone there are 3 (!) Dragon Utopias. I turn around urgently, because the opponent has 15 attack, and I have 6 0 in combat stats :(. The first Dragon Utopia is a large one, the opponent didn't take it, I also ran first to the Griffin Conservatory then to another Dragon Utopia, which gave +6 to all stats. So the parameters are even, 500 bones, 13 horses. The opponent clears Dragon Fly Hives, attacks, I wait it out, while Mass Haste is being cast, I cast Mass Slow and GG. Thanks for the game!

Group "C" 04.07.2013 RoninHW (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Rockmachine (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 233

Epic game! Starting with 70 Centaurs, I thought things looked good. Opened the overview and see mountains on my native resp... lots of mountains that cut off a big chunk of the resp. Okay, I think I'll break through to a secondary town and with such a starting army I'll get rolling. I immediately take a barbarian secondary town, and there... just the Cordilleras )) On both resps, sawmills are cut off, unreachable, and there is a complete lack of road network. The first week was spent searching for and securing resources; I miraculously built upgrades in the Citadel.
In the second week I broke through the mountain pass guards, sent scout heroes there to gather resources. I broke into the treasure zone, but right there a stack of Efreet is guarding the Griffin Conservatory and won't let me through. Very little gold, never built the Castle.
In the third week I clear out a huge and poor treasure zone. Only 16 Dragons and 3 Angels. On the secondary hero I spot a Griffin Conservatory (level 1) and a Dragon Fly Hive. Opponent has a double secondary town. Sad.
In the fourth week I cleaned up the resp with a secondary hero: Sword +2 all, Shield +6, Dragon Fly Hive. Checked the Dragon Utopia, turned out to be level 4. With 22 Dragons, 12 upgraded units, 3 Angels, and a small army stack I didn't dare attack. Prepared to take it with reinforcements.
In the fifth week I immediately take the Dragon Utopia, got a Necklace +3 all, Shield +4 all, and Wings. Big advantage in stats, especially magic. Running around gathering resources for a level 5 Mage Guild, and on the 7th day I go on a rush visit, hoping to take the capital. Far away, didn't make it. In the Mage Guild, the only interesting spell is Meteor Shower. Opponent meanwhile is rustling around in the treasure zone and his combat stats are catching up.
Then I took the capital and caught a scout hero who was trying to run off with the growth, and a positional war began on the Opponent's resp. Found a booster for Earth magic)) Took the opponent's underground secondary town. There were many feints; in the end I approached the last Castle of the reds just to hunt scout heroes. I killed a couple and see a big army in the Castle. Also a scout hero is stationed in the Castle; I thought Tazar was in the garrison, so I'll kill this scout hero and run back. Was afraid to storm the Castle. But as it turned out, this scout hero was stationed in the Castle on the rush with the main army. Tazar simply didn't make it in time )) Unexpected FB:
Kyrre 17-22-15-15(230): 22 gr Dragons, 21 upgraded units, 41 gr Basilisks, 3 Angels, 81 gr Elves, 31 ser Pegasi and Serpents.
Adjutant 6-4-4-1 (10): 67 gr Dragons, 13 Hydras, 31 gr Gorgons, 14 Gorgons, 100 Lizardmen, 21 gr Basilisks and Serpents.
Opponent, in the second round, having grouped around the Lizardmen and taken a Meteor Shower for 712, wrote gg.
Thanks for the game!
