Guys, tonight is the last night of the tour, and you're still disappointing me. It feels like this format has run its course, and I really wanted to hold the tenth tournament in a LAN setting, but it seems it's not meant to be. The following matches haven't been played:
GoD Ayauhteotl
Heroin_HP злой_романтик
GoedenDag ShadowManiac
BISHOP Roger-ua
Please let me know about these matches; I'll be in touch in the morning!

Don't even think about it! Without a prize fund from yourself, you won't be able to gather even a few enthusiasts from your own city.

01/19/2014. BISHOP (red, Inferno, Axis, Isra) lost to Roger-ua (blue, Swamp, Woy, Ciel) in a skirmish. 143.
He chose his restart points, and we began. On turn 111, without archers but with 3 heroes, he built lizardmen. On turn 113, Ciel arrived as his fifth hero and became the main hero. On the first 126, he took a Necropolis fort and a refugee camp, where he received 2 magical elementals. On the second, he took his native secondary resource and a mini-hive. On turn 3, he encountered the opponent's respawn point in the camp and received a hydra. He repositioned and went to another secondary resource where 36 minotaurs killed the elementals. Starting from week 2, he waited for an attack, not staying on the offensive, and replenished his mana. On turn 141, he took a viper's lair; there were already 14 of them (1 of which he personally helped defeat the opponent with). On turn 142, he reached the opponent's Necropolis fort. On turn 143, the opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game!

Thanks for the game!

Guys, your reports are later added to the season standings. The Swamp faction doesn't have a hero called "don't remember." Is it really that hard to check the map settings and enter the hero's name?

Why watch when you can just write any name, make it up, or take one from a swamp? I always do that, and I haven't had any complaints yet :) Besides, I sometimes don't even remember my own starting names.

Terek gives mass haste, The_ surrenders.
GG, thanks for the game

There was no chance to win from day one, I played decently, split the troops, sent the swamp troops with the second hero to capture the town in the adjacent zone and reclaim the mines and resources there, through the portal, while I ran to the "treasure zone", where I found an external dwelling of elves, a crown +4 knowledge, several stat boosters, and that was it. Throughout the game, there were only 3 piles of stone... so there was no chance to build a Mage Guild (but even with Mage Guild level 4 — no chance, I had exactly 0 out-of-combat spells).
In the same zone: gnolls from the start at nearly 90, a native Griffin Conservatory (3-4), a Griffin Conservatory in the treasure zone (2-4), two chests of 5k+5k, Terek, who immediately catches air and expertises it, a hat +3 or +4 knowledge, in the zone adjacent to the castle, two more Pandora's boxes of 5k experience + 90 goblins + a Griffin Conservatory (single). Seeing all this, I realize it will only get worse, especially since I have nowhere left to run (ГО 5-9 ghost dragons) crashed into the swamp, pulled out my entire army — attacked Terek, expert tactics + mass haste = gg.
The surrender wasn't even a "one-sided goal" situation, it was simply that the opponent had no goal at all, there was nowhere to score.

Thanks for the game!

01/19/2014. VanjaM (red, Rampart, Enova, Ellezar) def Ominous1 (blue, Barbarian, Vey, Kragg) 2sm2c 113

The opponent took both restarts; in one of them, I got a dungeon with Solmyr and Cyriel + 2 cons. As a result, I got this pairing... From the start, 8 free elves and a vision that reveals the enemy respawn point with the city. On my home side - 2 cons (2 with GS + up to 250), a pegasus lair, an arena, an experience stone, and a decent amount of gold. There's only one road, but a secondary one through wolves. After a couple of turns, the main hero arrives... Thanks for the game!

Why look it up when you can just make up any name, randomly, or something that sounds like it came from a swamp? I always do that, and I haven't had any problems yet :) Besides, I sometimes don't even remember my own starting units.

There's nothing wrong with that. The main thing is to provide a report that doesn't raise any questions for the scoring system.

15.01.2014. Juristis (red, random, Rampart, Torgrim, Jeddite) def c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (blue, random, Dungeon, Adgit, Dessa) balance 136
We spent all the resources. Gave up fast roads, Torgrim with 12 Centaurs, but Ivor with 11 Elves was in the tavern; on turn 111 took a secondary hero, bought Jeddite. Decent respawn, external dwelling of Dwarves and Dendroids, but the Dendroids are behind mountains and a blocker, and the adjacent zones are inconvenient. On the first week I broke through both adjacent zones, took a secondary Citadel, but the road from it to the center turned out to be bugged. From the second adjacent zone there's a very long detour. I found a Griffin Conservatory on the rocks, but never broke through it until the end of the game, it was inconvenient. Jeddite got a choice between Fire Magic and an Intelligence artifact on level 3, took the Intelligence artifact. On the first week Elves in the Citadel + Guild of Miners (mined a lot, could have placed a Dendroid, but didn't take the Dendroid). Took external dwellings of Dwarves and Dendroids, found an Imp scroll.
On the second week Kyrre also brings 5 Elves, recouped a lot of resources and gold; on turn 123 I built Mage Guild level 4 and arrogantly offered the opponent to surrender, seeing his small army from the Observatory. Got so cocky that I even went to check the next opponent in the tournament. On turn 126 I broke through a Guarded Object, ran to the opponent via a secondary hero, built Mage Guild level 5.
And then on turn 132 I got a very harsh reality check. Standing arrogantly right under the opponent's Castle, I took 4 hit-and-runs from Chain Lightning spells, which killed all the Grand Elves (and I was wasting mana on various junk). And then a full assault by Dessa with all his might, humiliating my 90 Dwarves with almost no losses.
Then it was no time for jokes; losing such a good hand would have been the ultimate disgrace. Fortunately, I still had 8 heroes against 3 and 4 Castles against 2, so chances remained. The next move I killed the opponent's Synca, ran Kyrre to the Griffin Conservatory found on grass, a level 2 Conservatory. Then I hand over a quest artifact in the center, got 10k gold, found +1 Speed in a skeleton, bought up the remaining might, upgraded Pegasi. 8 Dendroids, 30 Centaurs, 30 Dwarves, 7 Pegasi, it's playable. But no Oil and it's risky to go for the Conservatory. While Dessa was running around his respawn, I took 2 chests in the center for 5k experience and a Necropolis Castle. Then Dessa went on the offensive, but without meat, on single Harpies. I replenished Jeddite's mana and broke into the opponent's adjacent zone, counting on the first strike, Anti-Magic, and Dessa attacking me with all his might. But Dessa, without an army, went into a portal, visited an Observatory and harassed me with 2 weak heroes. I check the tavern, there's Septienna and it's game over for the opponent. Thanks for the game!

I confirm!
The game didn't go well, the respawn was empty, gold was very far away, I was developing slowly, there were no external dwellings. Everything was going one way, but the opponent made a mistake and got hit hard :), which gave me some chances. The chances didn't really improve much, though, and everything ended the way it was supposed to end in this hand, unfortunately..
Thanks for the game!)
