Day Two
I was waking up one of the first every day, but my head only hurt this morning; luckily, the games didn't start right away, and it was actually quite hard to wake many people up. After having some juice, we ordered pizza and started getting into the zone. I completely forgot to mention... the day before, during some drunken e-peen measuring, it turned out I wasn't the only one who likes to play Jebus as a priority template, so we agreed with Kostya-Lizard for the first pair of the tournament. Nobody objected, so it was confirmed... Anyway, I'll tell you a bit about the "rules" to save time on games. The following templates were chosen - Jebus Cross, Diamond, 2sm4d(3), and 2 m200 templates: Balance + Skirmish. It's also worth noting that due to a lack of players, some had to be assigned via free slot (and there wouldn't have been enough letters for everyone to play the first round), which was made possible thanks to an additional donation to the tournament prize pool! Despite SoD being set by the condition, Lizard and I agreed to play WT under SoD. First, there was quite a long setup; something kept going wrong—the internet was acting up, the versions wouldn't start, the battle speed was slower than a turtle despite all the necessary text files... After barely overcoming all the hardships, we scribbled out to my red Citadel, against his blue Rampart, and started the game. Mini report on the first game We got completely wrecked from the start. First, there was a block before the exit to the +2 HP flask, then 112 from the opponent, followed by a long corridor into the corner of the map... The draw wasn't bad, but it was very inconvenient...
From the start, I found 1 external dwelling of Wolves, a Mercenary Camp + Spirit of Oppression (we played with morale), a Stable, a swampy road leading down to a GO + Village, a couple of Pandora's Boxes... Thanks to the Wolf stack, I successfully took out 90 Harpies for the Camp + Spirit; the Camp gave me Crusaders. Seeing no promising locations, I decided on 112 after the Stable to go deeper off-road towards the stat boosters lit up by papa, and after passing 3 of them one after another in the middle of nowhere, I found a Dragon Utopia + an external dwelling of Bears!! If it weren't for those boosters, I would have rotted on this respawn. But everything turned out not so simple. The 20-49 Gargoyles guarding the dwelling and 2 resources turned out to be 48 instead of the 30 I expected (since the center and the neighboring respawn were also Citadels). During the breakthrough, I lost about 20 Wolves; 18 remained (including the dwelling), Ruhes, and almost all Goblins. I had to stall for one turn to bring the Bears to take the dwelling, which I managed successfully. Next, I finished off the remaining Wolves on 90 Orcs for a Refuge + a Necklace +3+3 SP/Knowledge. The Refuge was useless. Disassembly. Meanwhile, scouts reported finding a Sword +12 -3 and a Cloak of Abandonment near 2 Pandora's Boxes, a Tome, a Fountain with Double Mana, Pandoras with 35 Orcs each, a secondary Dungeon. The portal in it gives Bears! I take the Sword + Cloak; Tirax gets Armor and Water, but at the end of the week I'm falling behind on gold, and there were almost no money-making buildings except 3 Dragon Utopias and one Naga Bank not very conveniently located, so the Bears stayed in the Citadel... I broke through to the Village near the GO, and there... a double GO of Beholders + Genies... I'm in despair, realizing I can't defeat that, but a light opens in the wilderness of the tunnel. I reveal the last remaining patch — 2 Dragon Fly Hives, but time is tight. I collect money, trade, and head to the Dragon Utopia near the dwelling and Stable (without taking the Hives, as they're in another part of the respawn). On 122, the feast there is huge thanks to 70 Orcs and the Ruhe dwelling taken at the end of the week. However, due to the lack of defensive magic and stats of 23 2, the Dragon Utopia(2) explains to me that not everything is so simple in this world. I crawl out with exactly my 6 Bears, but it gives +6 All, +3 All, and Gloves! Disassembly, upgrade of Mikhail's, chains to the Hives, and there turned out to be a third one. 3 Dragon Fly Hives on 22 Wyverns. I buy more Ruhes from the dwelling +3 units and the remaining Wolves and Goblins, Double Mana, and the second Dragon Utopia is MAXIMAL! Feast losses: +1 Wyvern, KO, Cape of Water, Titan's Cuirass, and a Helm +10 -2. Disassembly to the Village near the GO. I defeat the Beholders and boost Expert Water. With 2 Dimension Doors, I first jump to 2 Dragon Fly Hives and a Pandora for experience. The next turn, I see the opponent's movement, take the central town, and cover the meat on the spoon, but there is already a giant advantage in magic and stats + the Cloak of Abandonment. Thanks for the game!)
We played for quite a while. In the process, another fan, Ivan, joined us and supplied us with whiskey and cola, which helped me avoid getting acquainted with the beer that day, which would have suited us perfectly)) The master of the kitchen, Dust, made a divine solyanka soup, which was a solid 5+, and naturally, the day ended as usual with poker and drinking. However, total lack of sleep took its toll; I was destroyed and pinned to the bed as soon as midnight struck. :smile24: :smile07:
p.s. Guys, you can't remember everything, and I didn't see it all either, so feel free to add and clarify! It would be nice to at least briefly read the other reports too) I'll write mine gradually so people have time to say something)
