Grizwald, I'll be home at 8 PM Moscow time, I have some work issues.

Tournament NP vs LM. July 30, 2013. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Erdamon, Erdamon) def Slayzer (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), Jebus, 125. I had to use both restarts due to awful generations. The final one was not bad, though neutrals were really strong everywhere and the first week ended with almost no action. 111 - average roads, so the speed is not too high. Got air elementals prebuilt and the stack was ok - 15. Scouted a couple of Pandoras, hive, +2 all on the road, dwell of mind elementals. A couple of crypts were the best targets for this day. No good heroes. 112 - Took mind elems dwell. Scouted phoenix dwell, guarded by 100+ up. ghosts. Too tough for week 1... Found a con and water dwell. 113 - one more hive, lots of different useful majors and other artifacts. Took gold mine. 114 - took a tower village. The second one turned out to be heavily blocked, but I found there the boots of speed. Also had gloves near the capital. 115 - Vidomina ate Pandora with 2-lev magic. 116 - got helm +5, found second con and first utopia. 117 - got gloves and built some chains to start fighting actively from 121. Built firebirds with citadel. Erdamon had no battles at all, and the best w1 hero, Brissa, will be dismissed next day :) 121 - bought some army, Erdamon killed 10+ scorpicores, took 5k exp Pandora and 8 hive. He got log and defense, so he became main. He also killed 20+ up. genies for the second Pandora. I wanted to pick it up with Brissa, but had a lack of MP. So I left it to Erdamon, losing 4 lev spells. What a noob :(. Pasis took another hive, +12 wyvs, and army was transferred to get boots. 122 - Erdamon lost 4-lev Pandora, came to capital to buy book and get mana. Jeditt got boots of speed and took second village. 123 - took shield +3+3, firebirds dwell, boots +2 all and 3 angels. Found one more con near utopia. 124 - got 2 angels, sword +6, Erdamon stood near the guards to the desert - 50+ champions. He was already exp air. 125 - +1 angel, cloak +2 speed, easily broke champions, but forgot to take army like earths or waters. So I had to fight against dragons in utopia without some healthy stacks... That resulted in -7 wyvs and -2 birds, but I got necklace +3 all, titan's cuirass, air book and air orb. The same day I was in the central castle and built MG there. Air view showed that opponent is still quite far. 126 - there were very nice arts near the castle. Got helm +6 all, 2-lev Pandora, +8 hive, earth book, earth Pandora with no wisdom, +4 hive. Then I saw an opponent and decided to attack. He had no artifacts so parameters were low, no magic and moderate army. Erdamon was 29, 19, 25, 13 with 1,6k chain and lots of angry creatures, so it was an easy win. Thanks for a game!

07/30/13. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Erdamon, Erdamon) def Slayzer (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), Jebus, 125.

Confirm, thanks for the game!

Group F. 18-29.0713. zloy_geka (blue, Conflux, Aenain, Pasis) def AlexRoss (red, Necropolis, Clavius, Tamika), 2SM4d(3), 231.

Confirmed, thanks for the game!

August 31st. Updated the standings, checking. **Group A.** 1st place - Iamsamstan. One game remaining - Anry vs twaryna - save 114, 2sm4d(3), replay 1.08. If Anry wins, they will take 2nd place. Otherwise, nitro43 will take 2nd place. **Group B.** 1st place - Grizvald, 2nd place - Lem. One game remaining - Grizvald vs GoD - save 132, replay 30.07. Is there a result? **Group C.** 1st place - RoninHW, 2nd place - u2noob. One game remaining for 4th place - artist_rapman vs RaiseTheDead - if there is no information from artist_rapman, RaiseTheDead will win by default. **Group D.** 1st place - shameonyou. However, Vatya is playing against leosnow... This has complicated the situation for 2nd place. **Group E.** We hope that the replay of AttilA vs Diabler will be played today. The game cuc9ctblu vs AttilA will have to be awarded, as cuc9ctblu is away. No information from Karvet. Diabler vs LeBron - save 116, JebusCross, when will the replay be played? **Group F.** zloy_geka is trying to play with LM. AlexRoss, who joined the NP team 2 weeks ago, still hasn't found time to play with LM. The NP team is at risk of a technical defeat. **Group G.** 1st-2nd place - The_ and GUNAR, one game remaining between them. Also, the game GUNAR vs LM remains, but I couldn't understand with whom GUNAR is going to play or is already playing (Stinger, Twaryna were mentioned, and I received an offer...). Accurate information must be provided by tomorrow morning. **Group H.** 1st-2nd place - MuLLIyTa and Lim4. Lim4 vs numOne. Save, they will try to finish the game today.

31.07.13. =Stinger= (red, Tower, Solmyr) def MuLLIyTa (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack), 8MM6a, 122

The game was a breeze, everything clear, smooth, and without issues.
On 113 I captured my swamp town, built a wyvern and basilisk dwelling with a citadel in it on week 1, and took the external basilisk dwelling.
In Tower, I built a marketplace and a Prefecture.
Solmyr got Air magic, picked up the Boots, +3 Spell, and on 121 ran out to the central teleporter and saw a passage to the Barbarian zone.
My opponent's town is also Barbarian — I think I'm unlikely to make a mistake if I break into his territory early.
On 122 I upgrade and buy all the basilisks, trading all resources, break through the exit from the underground, and there's a scout hero Tyraxor with 1 Behemoth, 9 Roc's, and 22 Wolves.
Solmyr with 10 SP, 26 mana, Lightning Bolt for 150 and Chain Lightning for 500+ (which ended up not being needed), 18+1 Greater Basilisk, 5 Wyverns, 80+ Hatter, 1 Greater Fly.
Thanks for the game!

There’s one game left – Grizvald vs GoD – save 132, the game will be finished on July 30th. Is there a result?

Yesterday, I didn’t manage to wait for GoD, I hope we’ll finish it today or tomorrow.

Yesterday, as usual, the internet connection dropped and came back online around 12:00 Moscow time. It will definitely be fixed by tomorrow. I'll write later with the exact time.

The game went smoothly, everything was clear, steady, and without problems.
On day 113 I captured my swamp computer, built a Wyvern and Basilisk dwelling with a citadel there on week 1, and took the external Basilisk dwelling.
In Tower I built a marketplace and a Prefecture.
Solmyr got Air magic, picked up Boots of Speed, +3 spell power, on day 121 I ran into the central teleport and saw a passage to the Barbarian zone.
My opponent's computer is also Barbarian; I think I won't be wrong if I invade his territory early.
On day 122 I upgrade and buy all the Basilisks, trade all resources, break through the exit from the underground, and there's a scout hero Tiraxsor with 1 Behemoth, 9 Roc birds, and 22 Wolves.
Solmyr with 10 spell power, 26 mana, Lightning Bolt dealing 150, and a Chain Lightning dealing 500+ (which ended up not being needed), 18+1 greater Basilisk, 5 Wyverns, 80+ Master Genies, 1 greater Gargoyle.
Thanks for the game!

That's exactly how it was. I was one day short of gathering all the meat (4 Behemoths, 13 Roc birds, 40+ Wolves). I didn't even get a chance to fight.

Tournament NP vs LM.
30.07.13. Diabler (blue, Rampart, Kyrre) lose to LeBron (Red, Dungeon, Shakti), Jebus Cross, 116
We scribbled around, Mr. Fish was left with a choice between Dungeon and Flux. Saying "moon is dirt," he picks Dungeon. We restarted a bit.
Had a beautiful spawn: 2 Griffin Conservatories, an external dwelling of dragons, a couple of crypts, a Dragon Utopia. With Kyrre I run to a secondary hero. On 112 Kyrre takes a Pandora's Box with 50 centaurs. Can't scout ГО because of a guard of 20-49 upgraded cyclopes blocking Captain's Hat. Kyrrusha clears a Dragon Fly Hive. Turns out to be big, I decide not to push it. Secondary is Dungeon. I break out from there into the main, buy a spell book, and on 115 clear the external dragon dwelling. Lost about 15 centaurs to it, feels bad(. On 116 Kyrre attacks the second Griffin Conservatory, loses a dragon and some centaurs. I decide to try again and lose everything. I ask for auto, Mr. Fish nobly gives it. I decide to break through the fanatics blocking the dragon on 116. Imagine my surprise that 18 fanatics kill 2 green dragons. My conscience wouldn't let me ask for another auto, and I didn't need it anyway:(
Thanks for the game.

We had some scribbling, Mr. Fish had a choice between Dungeon and Flux. Saying "moon is dirt", he picks Dungeon. We restarted a bit.
It spawned nicely, 2 Griffin Conservatories, an external dwelling of dragons, a couple of crypts, a Dragon Utopia. Kyrre runs to the secondary hero. On 112, Kyrre takes a Pandora's Box with 50 centaurs. ГО cannot scout because of a guard of 20-49 upgraded cyclops blocking the Captain's Hat. Kyrre breaks through a Dragon Fly Hive. Turns out to be big, I decide not to push. The secondary hero is a Dungeon. I break out of there into the main, buy a Book, and on 115 I break the external dragon dwelling. Lost about 15 centaurs to it, a pity(. On 116, Kyrre goes into the double Griffin Conservatory, loses a dragon and centaurs. I decide to try fighting through and lose everything. I ask for auto, Mr. Fish nobly gives it. I decide to now break the fanatics blocking the dragon on 116. Imagine my surprise when 18 fanatics kill 2 green dragons. My conscience did not allow me to ask for another auto, and it's not needed anyway:(
Thanks for the game.

Well yes, fanatics are nasty guys, and with no hand-to-hand penalty too :smile16:

31.07.2013 The_ (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def GUNAR (red, Castle, Valeska, Gundula) 2sm4d(3) 124.

Ivor with 8 elves, there is an external dwelling of elves, but only two roads, one to GO, the other to a swamp secondary, and there is an immediate block of 50-99 swordsmen, behind Pandora's Box and the Black Market (it turned out to be 75 swords with GS, and the Pandora had only 5k experience :(), at the respawn there are two Griffin Conservatories, one small, one large, I took a potion of +2 HP, in the castle the cavalry was built. Everything is going great, Ivor got Earth, quickly leveled it to Expert, I'm planning to take the large Griffin Conservatory in the second week (40+ Grands). But then the opponent appears near the passage by wasteland towards my respawn, I estimate it will take him 2-3 turns to reach the castle, so I calmly take the Pandora, grab the secondary, clear out the swamp respawn, split my forces to go home, and with mass Slow cover Gundula. Ivor's stats are better + Expert Archery + Offense, only half of the 65 Archers remain after the Grands' volley + the Archers are blocked by single Pegasi, and Slow on top of that. A surrender follows.

Thanks for the game and your time!
