No, as Roma explained it to me, these are just little guys, so they'll only get a gentle "tsk tsk" as a reprimand.

Humorist, here Vitaly is the one in charge with the belt :D

By the way, I'm currently reviewing the voting options, and I was particularly pleased with Tyoma, also known as Kobroid :) His voting option for the time limit of the tournament (16/4/2) is great! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

16.01.2014 =Stinger=(red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Darkello(blue, Necropolis, Galhtran) def HellLight(tan, Conflux, Fiur) def Slayzer(green, Tower, Solmyr) JC 123

On day 111, an annoyance in the form of a prison behind the castle on the road to the center, but fortunately there is a two-day detour around the castle, there is a Dragon Utopia, 3 Dragon Fly Hives, and a Pandora's Box with 45 Harpies was taken.

112 - Shakti returns the Harpies to the castle and positions himself near the Hive, the scout heroes scatter, chains are built to capture the prison and return the troops to Shakti to take the Wyverns. I build Harpies. Found +3 all stats behind a pile of stone for the Griffin's Eye.

113 - Upgrade Harpies, break through a pile of Ogre guards protecting the Hive and the Sword +3, pick up Shield +4, take a Crypt for 5 Vampires, capture the prison, use the prisoner to deliver troops to Shakti, take the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, transfer troops to capture a secondary town (also Dungeon), from there buy out Troglodytes and Harpies - again return them to Shakti, upgrade everything and take another Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns (which was guarded by Ogres).

114 - Shakti takes another Hive for 4 Wyverns, found a Griffin Conservatory, Shakti stands before 2 Pandora's Boxes, and the troops are transferred to Neela, who studies Haste through a scout hero from the castle and runs to the Griffin Conservatory.
Also, the Necromancer with Expert Tactics runs up to claim the +3 all stats. Another Hive is found near the secondary town.

115 - A very productive turn. The second Griffin Conservatory is taken, troops are transferred to Shakti, he captures 2 Pandora's Boxes (25 Medusas + 30 Harpy Hags), troops return to the castle, from there they are split into two fronts - to capture the +3 all stats with the Necromancer with Tactics and the Hive. Also built a chain to take the last Hive on the respawn next turn. And Shakti stands before an Alternate Gate with Expert Logistics and Basic Pathfinding.

116 - Gathered everything, have 36 Wyverns, 70 Harpy Hags, 2 Angels, 8 more Medusas added to the 25 (external dwelling + building in the castle), 60 Troglodytes and 7 Eyes. I break through a double Alternate Gate from a pile of simple Nagas with Haste and a pack of Devils with Haste. I lose the Troglodytes, Eyes, and 9 Medusas. Immediately, a castle is at the exit of the respawn, I buy a Spell Book in it, run further along the path - a Red Orb lies there, I take it, then another Hive for 8 Wyverns.

117 - Scout heroes pick up a Dragon Fly Hive in the center for 4 Wyverns, troops are gathered by Shakti, Lorelei with Expert Scouting revealed a Dragon Utopia + Pandora's Box behind 100-249 Zealots, right next to Shakti, as well as the central castle - Swamp.
I take the Dragon Utopia - level 3. Gave Cursed Saber + Titan's Cuirass.
I run further along the path.
HellLight's scout hero appears on his turn.

121 - I run further along the path towards the central castle to build and upgrade Wyverns, and near it stands Fiur with an army, but with weaker stats, who didn't reach the castle and the second Dragon Utopia next to it. I attack with Angelic Alliance, Shakti 14 18 45+1+1+1 Wyverns, 2 Angels 8+8 Medusas against Fiur 7 5 3 Angels, 27 Wyverns, 2 Magi, 4 Birds, 3 Dung Beetles, and 1+1 Sprites.
Fiur retreats with 1 Angel, having killed 12 Wyverns and some Medusas.
I take the central castle, build Wyverns.
Darkello, on his turn, breaks through the Alternate Gate and runs to HellLight, takes his castle, probably because he noticed the Dragon Utopia on his respawn, which I also scouted from the center.

122 - Town Portal home, double mana, upgrade Wyverns and take the level 3 Dragon Utopia near the central castle (Wings of Warding + Still Eye of the Dragon). After the Utopia, I portal back to the central castle. Darkello, on his turn, takes that Dragon Utopia on HellLight's respawn and remains there.

123 - Town Portal to main, a scout hero takes a level 3 Dragon Utopia - Bracers of Death, Charm of Mana.
Town Portal to center, visited the Library of Enlightenment, Dimension Door to Darkello and attack again with Angelic Alliance and Bracers of Death, since Vision showed he has 50+ mana against my 40.
Shakti 18 21 1 Angel, 1+36 Monarches, 6+6+7 Harpy Hags and 33 Greater Medusas
Galhtran 27 11 9 Angels, 17 Wyverns, 160+1+1+1+1 Skeletons.
With Tactics, I position myself in the center, blocking the Wyvern stack from all sides.
On the first strike, I killed 4 Angels and also poisoned. After the battle, 25 Monarches remained. I Town Portal to the Swamp.
Darkello and HellLight exit the game, and Slayzer on his turn couldn't handle the home Dragon Utopia.

Thanks for the game!
Thanks to the organizer for the interesting tournament format!!!

14.01.2014 HellLighT(brown, Necro, Galthran, Tiraxer), Slayzer(Green, Castle, Caitlin, Shakti) def Redwhait(Blue, Conflux, Gelare, Bron), Javdet(Red, Tower, Golem-woman, MULLICH) JC 125

Not the best respawn with 2 Dragon Fly Hives on 12 Wyverns, 3 external dwellings of liches and an external dwelling of dragons + a Pandora's Box with 15k experience, fairy ГО... thought I wouldn't make it until I found Wizards along an impassable route; on day 116 I break through them, the treasure zone is absolutely empty, only a Dragon Utopia stands there, a couple of Pandora's Boxes for experience, and a prison with a level 30 Tiras... everything else is complete garbage and quest artifacts. I switched to Tiras because of the stats. On day 121, Conflux runs out and sits in the central town. Due to a blunder with the timer, I don't have time to pass the Death Wave through a scholar, and because of this I almost get into trouble in the FB. However, thanks to fat stacks of zombies and skeletons and +1 speed, under regular Slow and with broken walls, I corner the birds. The opponent runs through a pre-built back door; I run to pursue and finish him off at his respawn, but then Javdet pops out, almost zeroing Mullich, but with a decent motley army. However, I already have a Death Wave ready on turn 75, thanks to which I wiped everything out. Then Javdet surrenders, and Redwhait doesn't have time to pull off the combination that could have helped him survive a few more turns until the growth (according to him). Thanks for the game.

16.01.2014 =Stinger=(red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Darkello(blue, Necropolis, Galthran) def HellLight(tan, Conflux, Fiur) def Slayzer(green, Tower, Solmyr) JC 123

I confirm. I thought I was lucky with a small, compact, and decent respawn, but everyone else's turned out to be way better and sweeter. The town generation with the last pick due to the loser bracket didn't forgive me. Thanks for the game)

I confirm, the mega chocolate dropped for the army (Griffin Conservatories, Ult), but the tactic chosen for the game failed. Because I thought the treasure was small and somewhat empty, since I partially revealed it with a scout, I decided not to rush and advance to 121, for which Stinger did not forgive, even when his 40 Monks fought against my ordinary 14 Vives, 9 Angels, and 150 Skeletons with the Red Orb. The opponent, using tactic, blocked the Vives and, after disrupting the attack, targeted the Angels, which gave him total superiority, although it turns out his magic was also in order.
Stinger's stats 16-21-12-13
My stats 27-12-12-13

Congratulations!!! A well-deserved victory!!!

Respect to Stinger, he executed a successful rush and an excellent setup while the opponents were dragging their feet) Grats!!

14.01.2014 HellLighT(Brown, Necro, Galthran, Tiraxus), Slayzer(Green, Castle, Caitlin, Shakti) def Redwhait(Blue, Conflux, Gelar, Bron), Javdet(Red, Tower, Golemancer, Mullich) JC 125

Not the best respawn with 2 Dragon Fly Hives near 12 Wyverns, 3 external Lich dwellings and an external Dragon dwelling + a Pandora's Box with 15k experience, GO fairies... thought I wouldn't break out until I found the Wizards via wasteland, break through them on 116, the treasure zone is completely empty, only a Dragon Utopia, a couple of Pandora's Boxes with experience, and a prison with Tiras at level 30... everything else is complete junk and quest artifacts, switched to Tiras because of the stats, on 121 Conflux runs out and takes the central town, due to a timer screw-up I don't manage to transfer the Death Wave through a scholar, and because of this I almost get into a jam in FB, however thanks to fat stacks of zombies and skeletons and +1 speed, under regular Slow and with broken walls I box in the birds, the opponent runs through a pre-built backdoor, I chase him to finish him off on his respawn, but then Javdet pops out, with almost-nulled Mullich, but with decent mixed meat, however I already have the Death Wave ready at 75, thanks to which I crushed everything, followed by Javdet's surrender, and Redwhait didn't manage to pull off the combination that could have helped him survive a few more turns until the growth (by his own account). Thanks for the game.

Caught all the coins on the rush, ending up with a green tower:D , day 1 was very promising with 3 hives and a Griffin Conservatory, further map exploration was less pleasing. From artifacts, I could only gather a total of 5 attack and defense, an external Gremlin dwelling, and that was it. GO archs, so there was no hope of Redwhait dropping artifacts for the Dragon Utopia. All that was left was to hope for Redwhait himself, but he was acting crazier than ever:smile54:

Thanks for the game.

Well, when it comes to wasting time, you're definitely the expert! It takes real effort to fail to complete the Hive quests within a week and a half.

Well, the whining and crying applies to you more than anyone else) in a week and a half with beehives, not taking a Griffin Conservatory is something you really have to try hard at

I hope your childish grudges will dissolve from the fact that this concerned you the least:p And I have no doubt that in our game you would have taken out the Archangels on week 1, plundered the center, and wiped out both opponents. All while considering the nuances of team strategy, helping your partner as needed, and then in the end offing even your partner, just in case.
And if you feel the need to sting, do it in a way that isn't just empty boasting. If I'm not mistaken, in terms of tournament length you've managed to get out on week 1 about three times, when the generator allowed it and there was a need.

Added after 7 minutes
Yes, the unconquered Griffin Conservatory is indeed a screw-up, but there was a mitigating circumstance — Red kept forgetting to send gold for the buyout.:D :D :D

convinced, smoothed things over :D

Great victory!!!
The tournament is over! After a tough battle,
=Stinger=:smile13: :smile12: :smile20: won, he reached the final with dignity and once again showed everyone his skill!!! WELL DONE!!!
I want to thank everyone for participating, and also apologize for my mistakes during the tournament! But since it was a test run, I think that if anyone else holds a similar tournament, they will definitely take these into account!
I also want to congratulate Artem once again; I had no doubt about his victory, and in the final, I was rooting for him!
P.S. Regarding the awards, I will contact Artem via ICQ, and I want to wish all the others good luck and perseverance in future tournaments!
:smile02:

I was dealt everything for a normal setup except the folder and money :D
For money, I had to rob Javdet, and with the folder, I had to improvise and play as a level 10 armor unit who only has one useful skill: defense.
The choice between Dragon Utopia or ГО was made in favor of Dragon Utopia, and it was a mistake—only +3 all and a water book. In the center, I managed to pull out a level 30 vidomina, but the lack of even one element and not knowing the technical details of the same-side move didn't allow me to carry.
Thanks for the game.

Congrats to Stinger on a well-deserved victory, and as for Hell, I warned him that this is how it would be ;)

16.01.2014 =Stinger=(red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Darkello(blue, Necropolis, Galhtran) def HellLight(tan, Conflux, Fiur) def Slayzer(green, Tower, Solmyr) JC 123

Confirmed, thanks for the game.
Having to play Tower decided to try my luck with Solmyr as he can do extraordinary things on L Jebus. Unfortunately as soon as I saw that I got Piquedram as tavern hero I knew I was lost, however seeing 2 hives close to main castle and pack of hydras guarding Desert I thought I might have some chances beating them early if I'd find some more meat for hives.
At 115 Solmyr had 100 mana with Chain lightning dealing 335 dmg, enough to break to desert, but my army was too poor to do anything in desert, even hives were hard to take. Eventually I got 4 hives(3x4+1x6) with 18 wyvrens not much could be done, too few too late.

Congratulations to Stinger on winning tour!
Thanks to the organisers for an intersting tournament.

Artem, congratulations on another brilliant victory! :smile49:

Thank you all for participating, and to my opponents – for the exciting matches, and to Vitaly – for the interesting tournament idea. :smile20:

Artem, congratulations on the victory, another award for his impressive collection!

I read Artem's report like a fairy tale. Great opening move and strategic gameplay!
