1.12.2013 Aiwe(red, Tower, Nelya) def Player_(blue, Necropolis, Tamika) 146

Basically, the generation turned out to be some kind of unrealistically weird, I scouted a lot, almost half the map, and only found 1 Griffin Conservatory and 2 Dragon Fly Hives, 1 of which was behind 10+ Firebirds, I saw no artifacts, no Pandora's Boxes, no Pits, and on top of all that the Mage Guild gave junk, except Nelya's leveling was pleasing.

I fought all the time with my native army + 3 angels from the Griffin Conservatory. I saw the opponent near his town — went to him, Haste — Shooting — GG, and all he had were Dragon Flies and Skeletons, like I had Gremlins, all because of the unreal roads and the whole generation.

Glad I won, but I'd like fewer games like this when on day 146 you only have your native army and no artifacts, I was nervous the whole time — that I'd die from a ton of Skeletons.

Thanks for the game!

We started after a couple of restarts; I got a large, decent resource spawn. I gathered my troops, went out, and on turn 114, I encountered a green computer-controlled Barbarian player. He met me with a huge army – 3 Rocs, 16 Wolves, 7 Orcs, 40 Goblins. My 14 Air Elementals and 50 Pixies barely managed to cope. I had 10 Air Elementals left, then I had to storm a castle with Izra – I had 8 left. But I also got another large and rich resource spawn.
The prospects were good – birds were spawning, a stable, boots, gloves, money for buying, a few more minor artifacts for stats, a camp with 2 Cavaliers, many roads.
But the opponent's computer turned out to be just as aggressive as mine, killing Tazar, and then the blockades finished off the remnants of the army of two Wyverns.
Thank you for the game.

What group??? :D

4. If it is impossible to determine the players advancing to the playoffs based on previous results, the players will be offered a scheme of transitional games, or the places will be determined randomly - by a random draw.
At the moment, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be devised based on the situation that develops in the groups by the end of the stage. The main importance will be the constant rating at the end of the Autumn 2013 season; in case of a tie, the seasonal rating of Autumn 2013 will be used.

...Turns out, Vidomina also got the expert Necromancer skill, violating the rules. The Chemist decided not to take it and conceded defeat...

+ For Isre and Vidomina, the expert Necromancy skill is only offered at the last level during leveling up; the skill tree remains unchanged.
How this works: when the expert Necromancy skill is offered at earlier levels, it is removed from the list of suggested skills in the dialogue box. That is, instead of two skills being offered, only one will be.

Am I right that if opponents have equal scores, their fate will be decided by drawing lots or an additional game? And if there's another draw in that game, will the ranking score decide the outcome?

And which is better in this case: to be higher or lower in the rankings? After all, a draw against a player who is higher in the rankings is more valuable.

Merlin, you're a lost cause, I don't know how to start games with you.

And keep in mind that I currently have a huge number of online friends :-)

Dimast (Blue Ramp Kyrre Gosha) def Kreg xek (blue Castle Turis Turis) 124 6l10a
On day 1, Ciele arrived, I sent her with the dwarves and native meat to repel everything that was poorly defended using her archery — it was very easy going. Gosha immediately became the main hero and headed to the underground, picking up the gloves along the way, leveled there to level 4 skeletons, although there were very few, about 70 of them. Got Earth and Offense. Horses appeared in the Castle. On 121, Sharpshooters arrive in 3 stacks, and Ivor with 10 Elves. I take 1 Griffin Conservatory, break through 2 zones, realize the opponent was there. I run with Gosha all the way, upgrade the dwarves, planning for the next turn — if the one-way correctly sends, to bring in 30 battle dwarves, wood, and everything else available. 100 Troglodytes are not superfluous either. On my turn, Turris attacks. Stats there: 5-4 against my 3-3. My archer has Dispel, I only have Shield. 1 Angel, 6 Horses, 24 Grands, 70 Skeletons, 30 Centaurs, 1+4 Silver Pegasi against 32 Marksmen, 5 Horses, 4 Swordsmen, 3+3 Griffins, 4 Snipers, and 60 Spearmen. I understand it will be tough, but then the drunken wandering of the army across the map begins. 5 Horses charge into my troops without fear of Blind. I pile everything onto them and they also get Blinded. The Spearmen run forward, get hit on the head, and run back. The Marksmen were poorly protected — I didn't even shoot at them, knowing I would finish them off in 3 rounds. After sacrificing all the Grands and 2 Horses, I kill Turris; the Horses, under Blind, cannot escape. I also caught a couple of anti-morale hits against my good morale — oops. GG Thanks for the game.
