Javdet (red, swamp, Tazar) def Hellight (blue, Conflux, Jela, Gunnar) 8mm6a, 122

This time the generator didn't do either of us dirty, but Yurist out-tempoed me, auto didn't help.

Thanks for the game.

Javdet (red, swamp, Tazar) def Juristis (blue, Conflux, Gelare, Gunnar) 8mm6a, 122

This time the generator was generous to both, but Juristis out-tempoed me, auto didn't help.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm with Javdet and The_, in the first game, the guard at the treasury blocked the path to the center, so we had to go to our own corner. On turn 114, I took a Consul (1), and then we reached our maximum and 2 Hives behind a strong guard; even with an Angel, it wasn't helpful. In the end, we had to wait for the second round, stock up (I set 1-3.5 in the Castle), upgraded Earth, and on turn 125, I took a Consul after the Hives (a total of 10 Vives). Only at the beginning of the third round did we finally reach the center. I decided to immediately go into that ill-fated treasury, which rewarded me with 2 more Hives and another 10 Vives, and that was it... the total wealth of these 2 treasuries was so great that the god of balance gave Javdet 62 Monarch shackles and a Sphere of Inhibition to wipe this power off the face of the earth... well, and Jebus (L) is just something else; there was meat scattered on the respawn point, but it was inconvenient, and there were also Ghost Dragons, so we had to wait for reinforcements, while the opponent had all the magic in addition to decent magic stats. Thanks for the games.

You'll make up for it on Jebus Cross)))
The organizer said that 5 advance to the upper group, so no need to panic)

Since there are only 5 groups, the selection criteria are less strict, and approximately the top 5 places from each group and 2 second places with the best Berger rating (ranking) will advance to the next stage, the grand group. The principle is the same as in the autumn selection.

I was somehow sure that the places change, for example, 7th place in the first group drops to the third group, 1st place in the 5th group goes to the second group, and so on. But if it's like this, then a person who takes 7th place in the 1st group ends up in the 5th group and presumably kills everyone there, which isn't interesting for him or the opponents, right?

An empty castle doesn't count as a rest, and he didn't even make it to the castle...
Thanks for the time.

group 2
04.12.13 Juristis (Red, Tower, Aine, Sir Mullich) def злой_романтик (Blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack) 116 2sm4d(3)
I sacrificed Mullich with shooting, Earth Magic, and offense, 2 Griffin Conservatories at home and 1 in an adjacent zone. The home ones turned out to be 100+, but the adjacent one was the minimum. On 114 I captured the adjacent zone's Citadel and Griffin Conservatory. Around the same time, my opponent came running to me, so I left him an empty town and just in case deleted the nearest scout hero, placing Mullich on a speed boost with an Angel. Crag couldn't reach Mullich, but Sir managed to run back to him in response) Thanks for the game!

How is it possible that your city was captured? According to the rules, there should be a rematch, otherwise it's just absurd.
