10.12.2013 Yostairs (Blue, Conflux, Erdamon, Moandor) def twaryna (Red, Necropolis, Clavius, Tamika) 8mm6a, 133
Started without restarts. In the tavern, 2 natives (1 with 7 water elementals), there is Necro Moandor and a Griffin Conservatory at home (Trog). Moandor quickly experted Necromancy and went along the road to beat various goodies: mini-crypt, mini-dwarf cottage, and regular Necro guards. I exit into the next zone and see another Trog Griffin Conservatory, also a Sword +2+2. I make an incredible fail and for some reason upgrade the dwellings, as a result the birds only appear in the fort. On 121 I visit the stable and exit into the center. Again, nothing special, just Necro, and I also grabbed a mini-hive. Moandor with expert Air Magic. I break on 124 to go home and take the Griffin Conservatory. The Conservatory is max, but 344 skeletons and Mass Haste allow me to take it with losses of 20 skeletons. I also grab a 4-stack Naga Bank. Moandor with Air, Logistics, Wisdom, and Earth (purchased at the university). On 126 I take the second 2-stack Griffin Conservatory and move towards another direction of the center to the revealed Dragon Utopia. Along the way I break through a passage where the opponent should be. On 132 I reach the Dragon Utopia, it's a 2-stack, I lose 2 birds and a few skeletons, but the rewards are excellent: КЗ, Red Orb, Shield +5, and Sword +3. I decide to head towards the opponent, as he also has a still-unclaimed Dragon Utopia visible. On the way I dropped by the Black Market and picked up Boots of Speed and Helm +3. On 133 I see from the lookout the opponent's maneuvers, as a result of which he goes into super-treasure. With 3200 MP I replenish mana at the well and run after him into the underground, and he was standing right at the metro on the other side.
FB:
Moandor 10-12-7-9 (90) 5 birds, 6 angels, 35 air elementals, 7 psychos, ~470 skeletons, 18+18 pixies.
Tamika 5-7-8-10 9 dread knights, 1 angel, 210 skeletons, 21 vampires, 1+1+1 stacks of evil eyes.
Immediately Implosion for 820 flies into the dread knights, the opponent corners himself under Meteor Shower and with a lightning bolt kills a bird. In the second round, Meteor Shower finishes off the dread knights and the angel, and my angels already break into his skeletons. A surrender follows. Thanks for the game!

I decide to go to the opponent, since he also has an untaken Dragon Utopia visible. On the way I stopped by the Black Market and took Boots and Helm +3. On 133 from the lookout I see the opponent's maneuvers, as a result of which he retreats into a super-treasure zone. With 3200 MP I replenish mana at the well and run after him into the underground, and he was standing right on the metro on the other side.

Confirmed. The spawn was favorable, I immediately took the lookout, revealed a decent amount of money and freebies, there is a Griffin Conservatory, although blocked by 20+ liches, the road to the swamp and the second exit through a portal are relatively close (as it turned out, the swamp is off-road). The distance wasn't bad. But in the end, the Necro wasn't leveling up, inconvenient guards. A comp dungeon with Shakti appeared in the portal at the swamp. On 117 with horses I kill him and on 121 I take the castle. I go to the corner treasure zone — it's completely empty ( On the second I take the Conservatory - 1-stack. No luck. I turned in the quest for 10k gold, took a box for 20 vampires and a box for 5k experience for 37 upgraded gorgons. Everywhere there are skeleton losses and their number consistently doesn't rise above 200. And in the end, the acceptance was hopeless. Too bad the game turned out to be one-sided. Thanks for the game!

Incredible, ladies and gentlemen! But we have another intrigue! :)
Randomness keeps presenting us with surprises.
A very delicate situation has arisen:
Currently, Yostairs and twaryna share the first place, each having 17.5 points. HellLighT currently has 12 points, and if he wins this match, he will gain 4.5 points, significantly increasing the "weight" of Yostairs (it's no joke to say, 8 wins in a row!) and will be only 1 point behind the favorites. If Hell wins the next match against a player of at least the 2nd rank, then he will most likely become the King of the Hill.
twaryna now can only hope for HellLighT's victory - only this will give him a theoretical chance to compete for the crown in the tie-breaker matches. Otherwise, if Yostairs wins, twaryna will definitely be out, and the first will practically secure the Crown for himself.

Well... It's a real series!
Let's observe the next "decisive match". :)

I think anyone who has played online poker will agree.

Glory to the random number generator! :D

The contender for the next match will be selected randomly from the general list of all accepted players.

It's strange, but everyone knew about the Yostairs - HellLighT pairing BEFORE the organizer chose them from the "random players"... :D

The contender for the next game is chosen immediately after the announcement of the current game, so there is time to contact the contender and get confirmation of their willingness to play. HellLighT just blabbed that he was next in line.

Yes, that's how it is. I've explained this mechanism several times.

The most interesting thing is that Scorpion was initially chosen, but she refused to play due to being busy. If she were in Hellight's place now, everything would be much clearer: Joestairs would win - almost a 100% victory; if he lost, it would be a 100% match in the relegation game against the monster. But look how it turned out. :)

What does "let it slip" mean? It's not like it's a secret.

13.12.2013 HellLighT (Blue, Flux, GelaR, the sraker) def Yostairs (Red, Ramp, Kir) 8xm12a 226

A terribly long and painful game. A pretty decent start; I set up chains well on three Griffin Conservatories scattered across a huge respawn, all three turned out to be tier 3. Isra and the Straker did some real damage there. Then an AI Necropolis with an amplifier, Dragon Utopias with hats and books of water magic. I built 3 Grails, and was happy just to get Dimension Door. But then the Straker proved to be a complete sracker and, with advanced wisdom, leveled everything else for 5 levels. For a whole week I just ran around with him killing random trash, since all the good stuff was behind the terrain... but with Dead Man's Boots + amplifier, the Necromancy worked great. After 12 hours of the first session, we played until week 2 of month 2, and by that time I still didn't have Town Portal, while my opponent doubled his stats in a week, which really frustrated me—I thought I would lose. In the tavern, with 1700 skeletons, 12 angels, 20+ Monks, and 15 Griffins, the displayed army strength was weaker. I was shocked, despite his stats being 30–40 and mine being 20–20. But in the last Dragon Utopia within visible range, it drops КЗ!!! And I also built a Castle village. In short, in less than a week I caught up to what's shown in the screenshot, found it, and everything was clear right away—it was pretty grim there too) Thanks for the game.
p.s. Forgot to mention, like all the dads from the peka generation, I pulled off the standard super-feint with the bracers break-in during the game. Luckily, the Manticores in the external dwelling didn't catch on, and I had artifacts of Slow + Lightning, which won the fight against that fierce Gargoyle and Cat-Scorpion!

13.12.2013 HellLighT(Blue, Flax, Gelar, the sraker) def Yostairs(red, Ramp, Kir) 8xm12a 226
I confirm: I built 5 GMs, but didn't get a single Town Portal or anything good from high-level combat magic (Implosion, Resurrection, Meteor, Chain Lightning — none of these arrived), found 3 Dragon Utopia throughout the game; as for useful things — +4 and +3 all, wings and armor +4 +4. There was a Dimension Door scroll, which I used to try and find something else, but there was nothing left to search for. Thanks for the game.
Oh, and also Sraker ran faster than Kiryusha, because I didn't find any boots, gloves, or convenient stables.
