What is the point of offering a save during gameplay? Would anyone even look at it while playing?

I probably wouldn't save either, why would I?
Maybe I should send a save file and links to the stream every 10 minutes?
P.S. I forgot why I came to this thread =)) Where are our opponents? :D At least approximately when is your match ending?

We're playing today, I think, until we finish.

We had an agreement to play until we finish today, around 7:00 PM Moscow time.

It's not very nice to distort facts... Since you're posting on the forum, not in a private message to AK, describe the whole situation, don't manipulate public opinion.

I thought I wrote as objectively as possible, and without any personal attacks... and I didn't even mention who played against whom, but just asked the commentators to answer whether the opponent is allowed to demand a save, or not.

But since you accuse me, write here which fact I misrepresented??
In turn, I can also provide inaccurate facts from your post.

I'm running late at work, I'll be there at 8:10 PM. Sorry.

LeBron (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Alkin) + Dirty_Player (green, rampart, Mephala) def darkello (red, fortress, Tazar) + Егор Коробейников (tan, stronghold, Crag Hack) 121 JC

We played a bit weakly, I had 2 Griffin Conservatories 2+2 and 2 external dwellings of Behemoths, Alkin was level 20 from the prison with Pathfinding and Logistics, Kostyan had 3 Dragon Fly Hives and an external dwelling of Unicorns. We gathered everything and rushed both ГО on 121, near the book of fire and the Dragon Fly Hive stood Tazar with 20-49 Wyverns and 1-4 Chaos Hydras with 5 mana, Kostyan quickly picks up КО, takes the Dragon Fly Hive and attacks with 23 Dwarves, 10 War Unicorns, 17 Grand Elves, and 24 Pegasi, Tazar couldn't cast anything, and we had 2 Berserkers, the 1st one went down immediately, 23 Wyverns couldn't even devour 1 Hydra. But then came the taking down of the Hydras, and the favorite trick with endless Berserk :)

thank you all for the game!

The game was memorable for the huge number of technical issues experienced by all players from start to finish, which are best left untold. As for the gameplay, it seems everyone was dealt below-average setups. There was nowhere to level up at all; the useful external dwellings were external horses and 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and on turn 117 we found a small patch deep within the respawn area with 2 Dragon external dwellings and a Dragon Fly Hive. There were no Griffin Conservatories, but there were plenty of Pegasus external dwellings, which we also decided to pick up just in case. On turn 117, Mephala had Boots and 70 mana, but 1 skill point was placed into Logistics before GO, with Cavaliers being built in the castle. Diman had 2 Minotaur external dwellings, Mullich, who ran off who knows where, 2 Griffin Conservatories very far away, and 2 empty boxes. In short, both of them advanced through GO on turn 121 straight from Logistics and captured a castle each. I managed to catch Tazar near Dragon Fly Hive 8, with the Sphere of Earth and the Book of Fire. I decided to take it and attack. The funniest part: even the final battle didn't make it to the stream. Technical problems plagued us all the way to the very end. Thanks to everyone for the game.

I request that you consider, for the future, a variation of the ban on exploiting a game bug: using Berserk on a unit that doesn't attack anyone and stands still, effectively skipping its turn for many rounds (even more rounds than the spell's duration), and waiting for it to be attacked each round.

Déjà vu, let's call Hellight, I think he has something to say :D

It's been tried before; you need to ask Baratorcha (if he can do it), because you can't restrict it with rules. I've repeatedly tried to come up with a reasonable restriction, but it always turns out to be nonsense. The only option would be to remove the spell from the game, which isn't ideal either.
P.S. If it's possible to edit the spell's action somehow, you could simply make it so that the unit with Berserk attacks the nearest hex.

I wish I could just ban these two guys from using Berserk. It seems like they've discovered something about it that others don't know and don't want to reveal:D

Before the new version of the rules, exploiting bugs was prohibited. And I hope no one will argue that this is a bug. Personally, I don't know how to intentionally trigger the Berserk ability; maybe someone can explain? And is there any protection against it besides Antimagic?

Against a bugged Berserker, the ultimate countermeasure is another bugged Amulet of Valor with a treacherous property – it allows casting spells, but has no effect. Not to mention the Amulet of Indifference.

Bug or not a bug... that is the question!
Yes, units move somewhat illogically, when they stand under Berserk, when legions of zombies chase after a single fly, when they don't attack a Hydra, etc. But the ability to use certain elements of the gameplay to gain a tactical/strategic advantage is what skill in the game is all about, isn't it?

Everything is in the AK!
Want to get a save during the game? - In the AK!
Analyze your opponent's blood? - In the AK!
Ban a bug that players have already exploited, and loudly complained about. - In the AK!
Don't know how to approach a girl? - Well, you get the idea.

By the way, no one has contacted me yet regarding Dima Surmay's request/complaint.
