Marat provided assistance, and I'm especially grateful for that! We needed to win 2 games, and this was one of them. We stopped there.
Thanks for the games and good luck in the playoffs!
You would have been satisfied with just one victory. But it seems you'll take 2nd place, GL.
One victory would have been enough for you. But it looks like you took 2nd place, GL.
Look at the date; the games were before the match with Zhawdet.
20.11.2013 Pyre (blue, Swamp, Tazar) def Aiwe (red, Tower, Nila), 8mm6a, 122
Only one exit. Left the respawn through several shooter blocks. And there on the road elves are blocking again. So I waited for the second week. Good thing the respawn generated a rich amount of gold. On the second week I broke through further, on day 122 I picked up the Nagash, the Griffin Conservatory 2, and the Dwarf Cottage. But the next day the opponent concedes at the max ultimate. Thanks for the game!
19.11.2013 Mizrael(red, Castle, Caitlin, Sir Mullich) def Sevan_80(blue, Fortress, Bron, Tazar) 8mm6a 132
We got crushed completely, the external dwelling of pokemons and archers failed, Mullich and the necro arrived. On the first week I discovered that the only road from the respawn was blocked by dreads, I was saddened. Result of the week: horses in the castle + external dwelling of pokemons and archers. From two dwarf dwellings at the start of the second week I ramped up to a fortune, Mullich broke through the horses, losing a stack of bones in the process. Then necro village and three forks, near a Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory. Broke the Dragon Fly Hive and the Conservatory, leveled up earth, scouted ahead. On day 127 I built angels. Decided to go to the opponent when I saw through a scry that he was nearby and the wood mine at the starting respawn was not captured (there's a chance the Wyverns didn't spawn on week 1). To avoid a red rush, I set up a supply chain from the town but didn't deliver anything. I broke through, sent scouts, surprisingly no one was touched, and on day 132 I barely didn't reach the former comp's castle. Blue delivered a fortune and attacked with Tazar. After the slow on the horses, Mullich responded with oil, considering the grass and +2 speed, 144 pokemons (and indeed 150 bones) were a serious force. The opponent decided to surrender, thanks for the game.

One exit. Left the respawn through several shooter blocks. And there on the road elves are blocking again. So I waited for the second week. Good thing the respawn generated rich money. On the second week I pushed through further, on 122 I took the Naga Bank, 2nd-level Griffin Conservatory, and Dwarf Cottage. But on this day the opponent surrenders in Max-ul. Thanks for the game!
It turned out funny... It generated a really cool [respawn], a 1st-level Griffin Conservatory right near the castle, not far from it there's also a 2nd-level one, my native secondary hero takes the Tower on day 2, but Solmyr, damn it, loses half my gremlins to me, and that's where it started...
I place a Naga in the Citadel, on 121 I buy everything out — I kill the 1st-level Griffin Conservatory, run to the 2nd-level one, there I lose the angel and all the meat, then frustrated with negative morale, I hit the vampires — I fight worse than auto-combat — I lose 3 Nagas, I realize I need to take a break...
The opponent loads the auto, I with renewed strength hire the last meat, with 2 angels, 2 Nagas, and some meat I go to take the Dragon Fly Hive with a scout hero — as a finale to the previous failure, he's max.
Funny thing is — the layout was very cool, but because I haven't played in a while, I lost very pathetically, and even 4 times in a row. Although everything except the last Dragon Fly Hive was pulled off almost without losses, and the Dragon Fly Hive would have been easily taken by an un-lost army too.

19.11.2013 Mizrael(red, Castle, Caitlin, Sir Mullich) def Sevan_80(blue, Fortress, Bron, Tazar) 8mm6a 132
Got wrecked completely; the external dwelling of pokemons and archers spawned poorly; Mullich and the necro arrived. On the first week, I discovered that the only road from the respawn was blocked by dreads, which saddened me. End of the week: horses in the castle + external dwelling of pokemons and archers. From two dwarf huts at the start of the second week, I snowballed into a big army; Mullich broke the horses, losing a pack of skeletons in the process. Next, the necro village and three forks, nearby a Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory. Broke the Dragon Fly Hive and the Griffin Conservatory, maxed out Earth magic, spread out with scouts. On day 127, I built angels. Decided to go toward the opponent when I saw through View Earth that he was nearby and the wood mine at the starting respawn was unclaimed (there's a chance the Wyverns didn't spawn on week 1). To prevent a redraw, I set up a chain from the town, but didn't carry anything. Broke through, sent scouts; strangely, no one was touched, and on day 132, I barely didn't reach the former comp's Castle. Blue brought in the army and attacked with Tazar. After a slow cast on the horses, Mullich answered with Prayer, and with the terrain bonus and +2 speed, 144 pokemons (and 150 skeletons) were a serious force. The opponent decided to surrender; thanks for the game.
The hardest battles are fought in the mind
21.11.2013 Tovariщ(Red, Castle, Caitlin, Gundula) def Slayzer(blue, Tower, Solmyr, Crag Hack) jebus cross 127.
The drop is nothing special: 2 Dragon Fly Hives, a single Griffin Conservatory, an external dwelling of horses. The road to ГО is very unpleasant, and ГО didn't please either — 30 Giants with GS. However, a Pandora's Box was taken on the second week for 20 Crusaders. On day 126 I entered the center and spent the night at the Utopia. I take it: a tier 3 reward — the 5th level Helmet, КЗ, the Captain's Hat, and a +5 Hat. Then I take Gladius, the Sentinel's Shield, and with the help of Fly and Dimension Door I attack Crag Hack. Implosion on ducks and ГГ.
Thanks for the game!

19.11.13 Graf_Bananov (Red, Swamp, Tazar) def Diabler (Necro. Galthran) 211 Jebus Cross
Built 3 swamps on respawn with 2 hydra hives and 1 wyvern. (on respawn: 2 Dragon Fly Hives and 2 Conservatories 1 and 2)
Had 3 FBs. Bought off in all ops, which allowed building swamp castles.
By the 3rd FB, opponent had collected elite stats 22 22 17 15, with 50 upgraded wyverns, 10 archers, 1k skeletons, and other minor units, against 34 35 26 29 (forgot to equip Titan's Cuirass) — implosion dealing 3k settled everything (with the cuirass, would have been 4k). 62 Serpent Flies, 1 Angel, 76 wyverns, 12 Chaos Hydras, 50 Basil, 26 Gorgons, 77 Lizardmen — caught opponent at his castle without his massive population.
Thanks for the game!

19.11.13 Graf_Bananov(Red, Swamp, Tazar) def Diabler(Necro Galthran) 211 Jebus Cross
Built 3 swamp forts on respawn with 2 hydra spawns and 1 wyvern spawn. (on respawn 2 Dragon Fly Hives and 2 conservatories 1 and 2)
Had 3 first months. In all opponents I bought back, which allowed me to build swamp castles.
By 3 first months opponent collected elixir stats 22 22 17 15, for 50 upgraded wyverns, 10 archers, for 1k skeletons and the rest miscellaneous, against 34 35 26 29 (forgot to equip the Titan's Cuirass) implosion for 3k decided everything (with the cuirass for 4k) 62 serpents, 1 angel, 76 wyverns, 12 chaos hydras, 50 basilisks, 26 gorgons, 77 wyvern lizards caught the opponent at the castle without his huge population.
Thanks for the game!
Didn't want to give up archer growth at 211, so I stayed there for a few more days. The opponent attacks and kills me:( Thanks for the interesting game))

11/21/2013 Tovariщ (Red, Castle, Caitlin, Gundula) def. Slayzer (Blue, Tower, Solmyr, Korbak) jebus cross 127.
The resource distribution was unremarkable: 2 clues, a single consolation prize, and a hidden stash of horses. The road to the Guardian was very unpleasant, and the Guardian itself was disappointing, with 30 Giants and a Guardian Ship. However, Pandora was captured in the second week on day 20. On day 126, I moved to the center and spent the night on Utopia. I took a tier 3 item: a helmet (level 5), a Crown of Zeal, a Captain's Hat, and a +5 hat. Then I took a Gladius, a Watchman's Shield, and, using flight and a Death Dealer, I attacked Korbak. I converted the Imps into Ducks and won.
Thank you for the game!
Unpleasant go? Oh, come on. Simple generator win, had an extremely poor map with 4 hives without a single dwell, no consolation prizes, even with such a spawn, I managed to break before my opponent, but an easy spawn on the other side allowed me to get AA in week 2, and nothing could be done.
Thanks for the game.

Generator win or you could call it elimination win.
Generator win or you could call it elimination win.
Still have some theoretical chance of qualifying, but that's not the point. I got most from my spawn and managed to break at 125(maybe was possible at 124), got minimal utopia next to my GO, opponent got Max + pandora/titan's gladius next to it, pefrect spawn for him. It's a shame when opponent has Castle on Jebus, breaks at 126 with an easy map and relatively easy GO, perfect part of desert on his side, best utopia possible and than comes and complains on forum about him having "unpleasant" map.
All 5 generations are underground, and the respawn points are tiny, but the guards are all monks, liches, and other ranged units. Last time, I barely managed to break through the golems, but on the other side, there were about 40 fish with a greased unit – no chance.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. Please recalculate and indicate my correct Berger score in the table; otherwise, I won't be able to participate in anything, but I want to continue in the tournament.
