27.09.2013 Juristis (red, Conflux, random, Gelar, Mullich) def Lem (blue, Necropolis, Tamika) 2sm4d(3) 126

There was 1 road to GO, but a +4 flail, a built level 2, and Mullich with Earth and Protection didn't allow a resurrect. Took external dwellings of water and air on the first week and built Griffin Conservatories in the fort (+market). On the second week, I pushed through off-road with 4 griffins to the Citadel respawn, took the town there, replenished mana, and went to the opponent with Oil and Offense. On 125 I took his main, on 126 the secondary Conflux. On his turn, the opponent attacked and killed himself on me. Thanks for the game!

confirmed.
On 113 I took Conservatory 1, necromancy in full swing, on 124 I break into the treasure zone with 300+ skeletons, an angel, and 4 horses, take an external dwelling of Efreeti, but on the next turn the opponent captures the main. In the treasure zone I take the maximum Dragon Fly Hives, +5 armor, and stand in front of another Dragon Fly Hive (mini), on the next turn the opponent captures my secondary, and I'm left without towns: I look and see that Mullich is in an empty castle on the speed boost (didn't know that without taverns it doesn't show), I return the army and attack with a scout hero. In the end, zero chance.

Thanks for the game.

27.09.2013 Juristis (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def Roger DAltavilla (red, Conflux, random, Luna, Gundula) 6lm10a 133

Medium roads. On 112 took the gloves, under the castle a double griffin conservatory, decided to play. On 114 killed the green necro computer.
By 124 I had gathered 6 griffin conservatories for 13 angels, went for the super treasure, but it turned out to be quite poor — a Pandora's Box with 20 wood, a cage +2 HP, a minibank, a helmet +10, and an empty Pandora's Box for 100+ swordsmen, which Ajit took (as it turned out, there was all the earth). In parallel, I built a tower in the necro town, anti-magic, rain, and implosion. Then there were 2 turns in a row where I did the most incoherent things, as a result first Shakti on an angel was sent to the tavern, and then I set up a scout hero with all the angels against Gundula. Total: -6 angels and 9k to buy back the remaining 6. However, I managed to trade somewhat, took 5 birds, 6 psychics, 20 air elementals, and 80 skeletons.
On 132 I finally managed to haul the remains of the hoard out of the super treasure and combine it with the angels on the redeemed Shakti.
133 — Gundula kills 3 of my scout heroes, on her turn I attack her. I set up on tactics; from her side mass slow, from my side mass haste and GG. Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!
In the first week, phoenixes in the fort, Gundula with logistics, 2 necro specialists available.
In the second, didn't find either confluxes or hives, the corner treasure zone looks rich, but it's on snow. A one-way path leads to the opponent. Thought for a long time whether to attack or go necroing (2 expert necro specialists and 200 skeletons already). Decided on the former, hoping to catch him off guard, but he was very well set up with angels, so Gundula with mass earth, all artifacts, and troops nearly got wrecked by a scout hero. On the last day I hoped to buy a peace treaty from Shakti and go necroing, but was short 6k gold. GG

Group 1. JustObserver resolved his laptop issues and is back in the game. Juristis played all matches — well done!
Group 2. Finally the first results are in, except for participant Mar. Guys — don't fall behind us!
Group 3. Everything is proceeding normally, good job, keep up the pace! Alessandro — my comrade from the HeroesPortal qualifying league, I feel twice as bad for you.
Group 4. This group has the most combative participants and a large number of matches played.
Stratte — withdrew from the tournament. Reason for withdrawal — missing in action. Browser is playing in his place (template JC, timer 10 min, icq 324183776, data updated in the tournament tables in post 1). Welcome to the tournament and good luck!
Group 5. Participants here are very combative and have already played more than half the matches, but who will get first place in the group is unknown, it's time for the decisive battles!
Group 6. Everything is going fine so far too, some have played more, some less. If you have difficulties with opponents, contact me, I will set mandatory game dates.

Participants Mar and Alessandro! By October 1st, 12:00 Moscow time, I would like to hear whether you wish to continue participating in the tournament. Otherwise, I will exclude you from the competition for the reason: "no games played within a month from the start of the tournament." If you have problems with scheduling, contact me, I will set mandatory game dates.

I will immediately outline the next disciplinary measure: if by October 12th (end of round 3) a participant has only played 1 match, they will be excluded from the tournament for inactivity. If you have internet problems, vacation, or simply want to take a time-out from the competition, please notify the organizer. There is plenty of time in the tournament schedule and I am always willing to accommodate.

12.09.13 Mar (blue, Fortress, Tazar) lose Satir (red, Castle, Valeska, Sorsha) 8XM12a + M200, 136
Accidentally deleted the file with the game password, and also mixed up the saves with others and deleted them. Satir's fortunes improved, Sorsha had combat stats above 10, and was already preparing to take the Dragon Utopia.
Thanks for the time.
P.S. Why Satir didn't post a report, who knows.

26.09.13 Mar (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) def Lim4 (red, Fortress, Tazar) Panic, 212
First time running on Panic, and on 4 minutes at that. )))
Maria lightning-fast chose 3 resources and we started playing. =) Ivor with 4 elves and Kyrre in the tavern, I decide not to resurrect. 2 inconvenient external dwellings of dwarves spawned (I never took them). At 115 I ran out through 30 Evil Eyes to the neighboring respawn, there I took a dwarf dwelling with 50 dwarves, a skeleton transformer, and 2 Griffin Conservatories for 2 Gryphons each. ((( Then at 126 I broke into the treasure zone, took a Shield +4. At 133 Tazar the Necromancer arrives at my place with an army: 60 Gnoll Marauders, 10 Wyverns, 10 Lizardmen, 2 Angels, 30 Serpent Flies, and 160 Gnolls. O.o Especially the Gnolls were terrifying. I return the troops to the castle via chain and break away with Kyrre. Tazar reached the castle and turned back. At 137 I take on the fly a Naga Bank with 30 Nagas (where the guards had been previously cleared and Tazar didn't go there), and that saved me. At 142, 7K for buying + Taz on my land + huge army on my side + 1 speed helped to achieve victory in a battle where the main spell on my side was Haste. 11 Unicorns, 20 Elves, 24 Dendroids, and 1 Griffin remained. I went to Tazar's respawn. Captured his Fortress town and Necromancer castle. During this time, Maria managed to kill all my Elves and 1 Angel with a mage. Having gathered enough castles, I look into the tavern, and there they tell me I'm losing on creature count! O.o How so?! And then at 146 Tazar charges in with: 90 Gnolls, 55 Lizardmen, 4 Wyverns, 8 Basilisk, and 30 Serpent Flies. I retreat, wait until 211. I buy the growth by exchanging resources down to zero and attack at 212. Haste decided it again.
Thanks for the game.

P.S. The game with Valenok is on the save. We played for a week.

Group 1, 09/29/2013. Roger DAltavilla (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def. JustObserver (red, Castle, Kaitlin, Mullich) Spider 131
Thanks for the game!
It was performing poorly intermittently; we chose all the rests. As a result, it generated 1 road, which was blocked by 20+ elves near their own hideout + resource. The opponent quickly killed the brown (!) hero and is happy with the group victories in the thieves' guild.
I had to camp near my main hero, fortunately, there are 2 medusa hideouts and 2 cons.
The result: for 1 week, medusas with a portal and mushrooms in the citadel + 2 medusa hideouts with a full purchase.
In the 2nd week, I spent all the resources, bought as much as possible, and went to the throne room without checking. If it had been a max-level hero, I wouldn't have made it, but it turned out to be a 2nd-level hero. Then I upgraded the medusas and took another 2nd-level hero.
Towards the end of the week, I broke through to the village, bought Shakti there, built a guild (there is a slow movement to the Mining Lands), ran to attack the dwarven hero, and realized that I had forgotten to buy a book.
On day 127, Mullich, without growth, attacks on his own. I was leveling up Shakti, broke into the village, and ran to Mullich, and again I realized that I had forgotten to buy a book; I had to go back. As a result, I didn't have enough movement points to reach Mullich.
On day 131, Mullich, without growth, attacks on his own. Again, I made many mistakes, but I managed to win. GG

And so, the group stage is over for me. I'm not aiming for first place, but my Marlett is doing well :)

09/12/13 Mar (blue, Swamp, Tazar) loses to Satyr (red, Castle, Valeska, Sorceress) 8HM12a + M200, 136
I accidentally deleted the file with the game password, and I also mixed up the save files with others and deleted them. Satyr was doing better; Sorceress had combat stats above 10 and was already preparing to take the Utopia.
Thank you for your time.

I had a very good start; on turn 133, I took the Utopia with a blue helmet. There was Ciel with 240 mana and a well-developed Sorceress. I was preparing to take the second one and move towards my opponent, but we couldn't load the stupid save file, lol. Although, judging by the tavern, things were much worse there, and I hope I wouldn't have squandered my advantage.
Thank you for your time.

Update: Starting with Caitlin, but it doesn't really matter.

6 game 09/08/2013 SVAROG (red, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) JC 124
Belated report, the draft was tough, 2 external dragon dwellings, 2 Griffin Conservatories for 3+4 angels, 4 hives, several Pandora's Boxes all on experience. The only downside was little gold, not even enough to place dragons in the main, I only painted 1 external dragon dwelling, on 121 I found an external marketplace and painted the 2nd external dwelling, there were also 2 external Necropolis horse dwellings that ended up covered in cobwebs, all Pandora's Boxes on experience, on 117 Galthran level 16, with expert logistics (+gloves, +boots), earth, air, protection, wisdom. On 121 I take a Pandora's Box for full fire, and go to the castle to replenish mana, on 122 I take 2 Griffin Conservatories for 7 angels, on 123 I run to the GO (13 gold and 17 silver), along the way I break a Dragon Utopia, they gave a shield +4 all and a necklace +3 all, on 124 on full move points I burst into the dragon utopia, on the next turn the opponent writes GG, our GO are nearby, and there are faeries and efreet. Thanks for the game!!!

This did indeed happen.

Satyr (red, Citadel, Gurney, Grechkin) def Lucky George (blue, Tower, Solmyr) 8xm12a 145 200%

Took 2 rests, the spawn was luxurious - 2 roads, 2 native heroes, a stack of goblins, rocs, and a Hive. By 113, after picking up another 2 stacks of goblins, I break the rocs. There are Griffins in 2 adjacent zones, one of which has a Dragon Fly Hive. The exit to the computers is through a one-way portal. At the first one, I put the rocs in a fort, taking a Dwarf Cottage by 117 with just goblins, 4 heroes, little gold.

At the second one, I take another Dwarf Cottage with Grechkin, check the Hive in the sands (50+) and the first Griffin Conservatory — 3-4 with Grand Elves. I bring up the meat, break the Dragon Fly Hive with Grechkin on 8, transfer to Gurney who breaks into the corner Treasure, frees the Prison, gets the Gauntlets, and takes a Naga Bank on 3. I check another one — a 4-stack with Grand Elves, didn't go in. I scouted a Dragon Utopia, but it's behind terrain.

With Grechkin at home, I take another Dragon Fly Hive on 6 and take the Medusa Hive. I send him to the second Griffin Conservatory. On 126, I take a Shield +4, a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, and a 2-stack Griffin Conservatory without losses. 127 — I transfer the army to the sands, Gurney takes a 3-stack, losing most of the goblins, and finishes off the Naga Bank on 4. Grechkin is stationed at the exit to the computers, rocs at home in the castle. Both heroes are leveling perfectly.

On the third week, I start smashing the computers — Gurney on rocs, Grechkin on angels and vives. No Hives, Griffin Conservatories, or Dragon Utopias in sight. There's a Box behind a horde of Power Liches, but without Tactics and Speed, I didn't risk it. I slowly build a ramp to the Mage Guild in the village.

On 135, I finally scout a Dragon Utopia within reach. On 141, I take a 3-stack, and it's a royal haul — КЗ, Gladius, Hat +4/+4, and Shackles. The Mage Guild gave Fly. While taking a computer's castle, I scouted a Griffin Conservatory — +2 angels. Grechkin on angels found the opponent, but had to retreat for the rest of the power and a second Dragon Utopia. With the leftover units, I finish off 3 Hives in different corners of the map, make a double mana, and on 144 I take another luxurious Dragon Utopia — 2 Relic Shields, Cloak +2, and Tome of Air. On 145, with Grechkin, I take the opponent's castle, TP Gurney with Mass Haste and attack Solmyr. In one round, I wipe out almost all of his power, though I take an Implosion hit for 5 angels. But the Shackles are equipped, and that's it.
Thanks for the game.

I chose the resources, it gave a block of lizards in one direction, takes a long time to go around, I spent the whole week moving heroes around randomly out of boredom. I farmed gold and resources, placed bears, but couldn't buy out everything so decided to attack, didn't expect such a large number of lizards. I could have not attacked and returned, but I think the game would have just dragged on, since I had money problems, and the opp also had the Griffin Conservatory under control in the center, and would have gone into the treasure zone at any moment.
Thanks for the game

Let's summarize the unfinished matches from the past September:
Alessandro - started 3 matches, with Dimast, Scorpiona, and Darkello; I understand that all of them are currently paused. I spoke with Alessandro - he promises to catch up. I hope the other members of the group will be understanding and help.
BA/IEHOK, Scorpiona, and heroes13 - only played 1 match each, and heroes13 disappeared from ICQ and last appeared on the forum on September 18th. I would like to know how you are doing, with whom you started matches, and what stage they are at?
I remind you that the 3rd round will end on October 12th, and players who have only played 1 match will be excluded from the tournament.
In general, I believe that it is more correct and healthier for the tournament to exclude those who are behind, rather than later setting mandatory dates for completing matches, finding out players' schedules, and tracking activity on ICQ. Don't hold it against me, but I don't like wasting other people's time.

Browser - well done, he just joined the tournament and has already played with Hell; we are waiting for the report.
