It was 1:1, right?

No, that was the final match of the winners' bracket, which Tyomich just confirmed.

P.S.: the girl who knitted the scarf said she doesn't want to part with it :D. I haven't even seen it yet, but she says it's really cool ;)

I don't know who's knitting scarves :p, but if GoD wins:smile49:, I really hope he does:smile12:, I'm ready to add a bonus to the tradition of the knitted scarf – "knitted socks":smile26:.

Well, for the sake of socks, I'll eat the ground with my teeth!)))

A bonus is great :) Who will suggest knitting gloves for Stinger? :D

25/09/2013 GoD(Blue, Citadel, Crag, Crag) def =Stinger=(Red, Castle, Valeska, Kyrre) Jebus Cross 126

We picked all resets.
In the first few days, things were really rough; only the goblin external dwelling was revealed. There is a Griffin Conservatory along the road, but it can't be checked because right in front of it there is a block on the same road of 50-99 harpies guarding a chest and an obelisk. The only bright spot was that Crag leveled like GoD)) first he was given defense, then in a witch hut along the road he got logistics, and on the same day, after taking a chest, he got earth magic.
On day 1 turn 13, he took his native town; far away across rough terrain, another Griffin Conservatory was lit up, no more external dwellings were found, but money was great despite the crooked respawn.
On day 1 turn 15, I ran across rough terrain around a block of dragon flies and took a Tower town; right below it there is a bear external dwelling and a 2/2 sword guarded by 50-99 nomads. Crag fights into it and takes the external dwelling. Nearby there is a chest and a medusa dwelling guarded by 50-99 gogs. We take the chest for 5k gold; Crag fights into a table; a scout hero takes the medusa dwelling guarded by 40 harpies. At home, there are minotaurs in the Castle. Crag stands next to 50-99 harpies.
On day 2 turn 1, I fight the harpies; in the chest, 35 war wolves; then a Griffin Conservatory drops for 3; earth magic is expertized; Crag fights his way home; the army runs to the native town, where there is another Griffin Conservatory.
Day 2 turn 2 - Crag on an angel runs to a triple GO - 50-99 champions, 50-99 scorpicores, 20-49 hydras; nearby, guarded by 20-49 dread knights, KZ!!!
Day 2 turn 3 - scout heroes collect 2 more Griffin Conservatories of 2 each; Crag fights the GO and takes the KZ. On level-up, I take Scout instead of Scholar; well, at least I managed to learn Wisdom from 20-49 crimson dragons, since the chest behind them had all the magic.
Day 2 turn 4 - Dragon Fly Hive for 4; I fight 5 rust dragons for a 10/2 cuirass; chest for 5 angels; then, guarded by 40 cyclopes, a chest for 20k exp - I get it and expertize Pathfinding. I run further along the road and see Kyrre very close. Nearby - a Dragon Fly Hive with a chest guarded by 10-19 gold dragons, an angel external dwelling guarded by 10-19 dread knights, gauntlets, a couple of campfires, artifact merchants guarded by 20-49 nagas.
Day 2 turn 5 - Kyrre takes the Dragon Fly Hive guarded by gold dragons, kills the dread knights but does not take the external dwelling, then the nagas and attacks.
Kyrre: 19 18 6 (25) 1+7 archers, 19 wyverns, 13+13+12+13 marksmen
Crag: 15 15 11 (50) 4 thunderbirds, 12 angels, 6 minotaurs, 1+1+45 goblin spearmen, 105 war wolves
In round 1, Kyrre casts mass shield and waits; with implosion for 1125 damage, I take out 4 archers; I move everyone forward a little hoping for morale +3. Kyrre piles on with wyverns and archers onto the wolves and kills them through morale.
In round 2, Kyrre resurrects 2 archers and hits my angels; Crag casts Slow and leaves 2 archers with a total of 295(250+45) HP.
In round 3, they also cast Slow on me and start shooting with marksmen; I cast mass Stone Skin and move forward. The archers fly into the corner. The angels hit wyverns, then through morale they finish them off and also kill 12 marksmen. Kyrre surrenders with 2 archers and 30+ marksmen.
Day 2 turn 5 - on my turn, following a route previously seen via view earth, I take the central Castle, capturing a +3 to all guarded by 50-59 cows along the way. I replenish mana.
On their turn, the red player surrenders, because they have little gold and the way to the neutral respawns goes through the center, which Crag controls.

Thanks for the game! Crag rules))))

1-1

The lack of mana in the battle was the deciding factor; perhaps it would have been better to take the center Castle first and then drive Kreg out of the center through raids.
After the battle, I scouted the center — all exits lead through the opponent, I didn't make it to the Dragon Utopia in time, and there is simply nowhere to get money for buying archangels on 131.
Seeing that Kreg took +3 to all and a box of 10 cavalry, I realized there was no point in continuing.
Thanks for the game!

...In round 3, they also throw oil on me and start shooting me with marks, I cast mass shield and go forward. ...

What for, if it's not a secret? It only protects against melee damage.

and cast spells from him, it wasn't pleasant to watch my 2 stacks die from 12 angels, 6 griffins, and 100+ wolves when Craig had a high mass haste.

Tema, I'm not asking about your shield in the first round, but about God's shield in the third round - when you have 2 half-dead archangels and several stacks of marks with 12-13 units each.

I was sure that Mass Skin, unlike Mass Shield, reduces damage from ranged attacks... and it seemed to be the case in the game, as far as I could tell from the damage dealt to the bears before and after casting.

Sting already corrected me))) I cast Mass Skin - to have protection against the marksmen as well))) but I was sure that it's called Mass Shield))))))))))))))) my mom used to tell me "learn English":D

I'm not arguing about Stone Skin, but in your report, it says you cast Mass Shield - that's what surprised me.

Damn it! I also thought that Mass Shield was leather, and GoD wrote a report for me.

GoD - =Stinger= : 1-1

19.10.2013=Stinger=(red, Stronghold, Dessa) def GoD(blue, Rampart, Kyrre) 124

Had to play twice, because the first time we played on version 3.58 with a chess timer and on 122 it glitched, leaving me with 4 minutes for my turn.
We started, selecting all restarts. On 111 I see 2 external dwellings of birds, 1 external dwelling of bears for 5-9 bone dragons. Also a stable in front of the castle and Dessa immediately grabbed Air Magic. On 112 I found pleasant relics at the respawn - the Tome of Air Magic for 10-19 bears, a Helm +6 All Stats for 20-49 Arch Liches, also near the relics there is a mana vortex.
The only thing I was unlucky with was the passages to the secondary towns. The respawn is stretched from bottom to top and the roads are long. I never recaptured the villages.
On 114 I upgraded the Arch Devil and things got more fun.

At the end of week 1, I found 4 external dwellings of Storm Elementals (took 3), 3 external dwellings of bears (took 2 on the first, the third on 121), 2 Dragon Utopias, 2 Dragon Fly Hives.
On 122 I captured the relics, ran through the mana vortex, gave the artifacts and troops to scout heroes, who took the Dragon Utopia. Dessa on 123 hits the Black Dragons from GO and then takes 2 Pandora's Boxes for 50-99 Champions (all Air Elementals +15 Cyclopes). On 123 I capture the Boots of Speed, free the prison, the scout hero from it takes the central barbarian town, a Dragon Utopia is discovered next to it, Dessa jumps to it and claims it. I cast Vision on Air Magic - I see the blue hero below the castle. I build a tavern in the barbarian town, buy a scout hero, free a prison behind a stack of Giants (5+5 and 5 Titans), in the prison Kaitlyn level 20 with Expert Air Magic. I transfer her 9 Arch Devils, 20+ Thunderbirds, 13 Cyclopes and attack Kyrre. He has 26 mana, 44 Grand Elves, 1 Gold Dragon, 1 Green Dragon, plus various small fry. I cast Mass Haste and Zhenya types GG.
Thanks for the game!
