Kairi is in the tavern, army is decent and there's enough money, let's play.
Did well on the first, built up power on the second, broke 2 Dragon Utopias on the 3rd (2+ max), have кв, all necessary skills, grabbed shackles, Dark killed my pawn, then I killed Dark.
Thanks for the game!

it's almost ridiculous, I robbed 3 Dragon Utopias, army-wise if I had collected it fully I wouldn't have lost, BUT
opp stats for 2 Dragon Utopias
23-13-13-10
my stats after 3 Dragon Utopias
9-19-9-7
not to mention that the opp stats obviously gave кв, and a CAP, and the stats aren't through a teapot! :)
oh and I almost forgot, decided to open the remaining Dragon Utopias on the map; in the eighth Dragon Utopia in order I found КЗ, in the ninth in order a CAP, I didn't find any more кв anywhere else!
thanks for the game

We each took one rest, then my internet at home went out, and I decided it was a sign, and a day later, during the replay, I took 112. Dall Cap took 111, and finally, we started! Right at the exit from the house, an external dwelling of hydras guarded by a horde of Captains)) I decided to start with them and attacked with Tazar, it would have been fine, but there were 96 of them and two consecutive morale procs in the first round forced 20 lizardmen into melee combat... I could have attacked with Tyris, but I rushed... Everything died except 3 lizardmen and 12 gnolls. Next, making my way through the thicket, I took the third castle with Tazar off the road, from it another road to the GO. One consolation - they gave me Log and Earth Magic right away! And 4 Dragon Fly Hives within 2 days of travel (another two within five days)) give hope for success. In addition to the 117, I find another external dwelling of hydras. But I decide to start with the Dragon Fly Hive, buy everything up and enter, ta-da... quick shows a loss, I held on, 29 flies left, my leg instinctively reached for the surrender (Power button), but I immediately pulled myself together and decided to keep playing) I cast Castle to have at least some army. On 121, I finish off the scoundrels with two hydras, and immediately another Dragon Fly Hive on 6. End of day result: 2 hydras and 22 Wyverns, not bad already. We continue. Pakhan runs to the GO, the army takes another 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 16 Wyverns! I trade all resources down to zero from three marketplaces, and still manage to upgrade all 38 Wyverns, +4 hydras +10 basilisks. I enter a well along the way and also try to expert Earth Magic on a crypt, but they push Armorer, oh well... 28 hydras fall without much trouble even without Slow! Next, 100+ Rocs for a Pandora's Box with 10 Champions! On 124, I break 3 Red Dragons for a Dragon Fly Hive and KZ! Next, 90 Wizards for KVody, just in time they gave water, was glad :smile44: Mana finally ran out! I take a Pandora's Box for Pegasi with 25 Swords. To the right, I see the central Castle behind a mountain. On the road, I run into blocks, each scarier than the last: a stack of ghosts for a prison, a Pandora's Box, a Dragon Fly Hive and other junk, or a pack of green ones for a library, prison, and more... I decide to break a stack of Skeletons for a Pandora's Box, but there are many of them (33) and they turn out to be with a growth stack, and because of my mistake, they take out another 11 Monks :smile35: but in the Pandora's Box there are another 10 Champions! At this rate, they will soon outnumber the Wyverns. :p In short, no opponent in sight yet, I fight my way home to replenish mana. From a View Earth spell, I determined that the other two respawns are Grass, close to it, and Barbarian, close to my second GO, but also not far from the opponent... I ramp up before him. This turn, the opponent finally shows up and captures the central Castle, along with 2 external dwellings of Angels... his army is not impressive: a few Ancients and a stack of Wyverns, but his parameters are higher than mine. On 127, I break the GO, followed by a couple of Pandora's Boxes: they give another 10 Champions! and prisons, giving Sandro with Log, Pathfinding, and Earth Magic!! I break a Dragon Fly Hive for growth Bears. They hit me a bit, and again without mana I fight my way home, leaving Sandro in front of the GO on the Barbarian adjacent zone. On 131, I first break 9 Titans with him for a Shield +4 All, from 110 mana 82 remain, and then 15 Archangels with a loss of all mana. Another hero from prison with flies and Archery on 135 runs deep, and the army returns via Town Portal to Pakhan, who again runs to the center to finish off whatever is laying around poorly. The next turn, I take the Barbarian and fight there with Tazar and Sandra, after first eating 1 Dragon Fly Hive in the center and a Pandora's Box with 60 Marksmen)) I discover a Dragon Utopia, but it's behind a Blue Guard, which I don't have :o I only have Red and Green. Luckily, another Dragon Utopia turns out to be nearby, I run to it, and there..... KV!!! The deal is practically done. Another 50 Monks, 9 hydras inspire optimism, and town portal magic allows everything to be devoured by three heroes in a rotation. Saved on 135. Cap's wife knocked on his door; during the replay, he messed up a bit and exposed his army, which I tracked through the tavern and a repeated turn, plus 5 bought Scouts in all directions))) I attacked and cast Implosion on 2800 into Wyverns, one was left alive but not finished off, the opponent bought himself out and surrendered the next turn.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. Cap, in comparison to mine, had a simply fantastic respawn for money, Dragon Fly Hives, Dragon Utopias, and even relics! But there were no external dwellings of Bears and from control items only Wings and a Hat... There's the balance..in the sense of Jebus Cross))

I confirm.
On turn 121, I moved to the center; I had a full inventory = 49 units ;)
But it didn't help – I took all 5 Mermaids and built a level 4 Tower with a library – they didn't give me the teleport. And all the artifacts were for the Haven faction, except for the hat :(
So, I decided not to play anymore.
Thanks for the game!

Keep an eye on what the organizers write in the very first post, which is displayed at the top of every page. We write there for you, not for ourselves, and it contains the most up-to-date information at the moment.

Interestingly, in the Новичок tournament:
- 40 participants registered within 3 days, 32 of whom joined on the very first day, while only one required my assistance;
- everyone entered their ICQ numbers into their profiles immediately, without my vigilant supervision;
- everyone learned how to write and confirm reports correctly right away, and only 2 reports were annulled throughout the entire group stage;
- not once did we have to chase any participant, begging them to write a game report, and not one of them gave us empty promises...

Rom, you've got the wrong thread; let's try again and register according to the rules.

twaryna, you need to enter your ICQ number in your profile: /topic/at/712305/. How many times have we already told you this?

Toganash, you must confirm using the Confirm Report button, not via the Quote button; please do it correctly.

The list of tournament reports is on the first page. The link to an unconfirmed report is embedded in your opponent's nickname.

There was no Balance template initially; there was only 200%, so we play without it.
P.S. I actually wanted to add it, but someone said it already exists, and I didn't check in a hurry :peka:

Initially, the templates were transferred from Favorites-6; in the list of 9 templates, Balance is present on map L, but M200 is not.

The template is chosen by crossing it out from the list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish (on difficulty 200%), Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked in blue in the table starts crossing out the template.

4. The template is chosen by crossing it out from the list of 12 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish, 2cm2c (on difficulty 200%), Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, Spider, 8xm12a, and anarchy 200%

How can one understand from this list that Balance should be played with M200?

How can one conclude from this list that Balance should be played with M200?

That's most likely the case, but in this context, we have three templates from the M200 series, which are played at a difficulty of 200% according to the M200 rules.
No further changes are planned.

Based on what's written in the second post, one might think that m200 is only played in a 2v2 format.

I also don't understand the point about Balance.
The_, please explain.
What's the point of making аж three M200 - ultra-dispersed templates when there are only 5 templates in total, when the standard L + 130% balance has been working well for many years?

I also didn't understand the Balance thing.
The_, please explain.
What's the point of making аж three M200 - ultra-dispersed templates when there are only 5 templates in total, when the standard Balance L + 130% has been working perfectly for many years?

I'll explain for him.

"my tournament - I do what I want" (C) The_

I initially decided not to respond, but I will anyway... Responding in a style like: "you might be right, but it's not that important, it will be this way because I decided so" is undoubtedly correct from the organizer's point of view, but only if the decision is correct. When the decision is quite controversial, it doesn't look very good, and the organizer's rating decreases.

Maybe it's still worth changing, while the tournament is just starting? I think most people would be in favor of it; after all, 3 m200 templates are definitely too many.

I think most people will be in favor; after all, 3 M200 templates are clearly an overkill.

Now we're going to start talking about politics! Like how most people in Ukraine were in favor of the coup?:cool:

The Miner with Angel and Earth was ready to crush everyone in his path, but his opponent surrendered. Thank you for the game.

From what is written in the 2nd post, one might think that m200 is only played with 2cm2c.

I'll clarify to make it clearer.

What's the point of making аж three m200 - ultra-dispersed templates, when there are only 5 templates in total, when the standard L + 130% balance has been working well for many years?

Initially, when the templates were added, I was sure that the balance and skirmish were played at 200% in favorites, so I decided to add the L balance to this pool later. Then you wrote that the template already exists, there was no time to check it then, I took it at face value, wrote that we should add anarchy, then when the time came, I read the post with the templates again, I see the picture: balance, skirmish (at 200%), I again take it at face value that this applies to both templates, because there are no other clarifications, and the balance at 200% is more familiar than at L 130%, then I realize that I have already announced anarchy, I decide that it is no worse than the unfulfilled L balance, I am satisfied with this, I decide not to jump back and forth - this is approximately how my thought process went.

Regarding dispersion, from this list, I consider only skirmish to be a dispersive template (and many will not agree with me), the remaining two templates (2cm2c and balance) are dispersive no more and no less than, for example, 6lm10a.

I'll explain it for him.

"My tournament - I do what I want" (C) The_

Thank you for your enthusiasm, but I will always explain things myself, and putting a (C) sign without having a single fact of such a statement is, to put it mildly, incorrect.

I decided not to write right away, but still... Answering in the style: "maybe you are right, but it's not that important, it will be this way because I decided so" is undoubtedly correct from the point of view of the organizer, but this is only true when the decision is correct, when the decision is rather controversial, it doesn't look very good and the organizer's rating decreases.

Everyone understands everyone to the extent that they feel themselves.
I didn't mean to say anything like that.
Regarding whether the decision is correct or not, everything is very subjective, as are most events, everyone has their own point of view.
I will survive the decrease in rating in your eyes, as well as the increase :)

I would also like to remind you that there is always a veto for at least 5 (guest game) unwanted templates, and at most a choice of 7 templates (home game), which should negate all the problematic moments with bad templates that the organizer announced for the tournament.

Maybe it's still worth changing, while the tournament is just starting? I think most people will be "for" it, after all, 3 m200 templates is clearly too much.

It's a good idea, but it will be very difficult to understand whether the majority will be for it, many will simply not respond.
Ultimately, I'm not against it, because the templates were chosen based on the principle of the most common ones in all tournaments, so as not to offend anyone, because the ultimate goal of the tournament is to identify the champion among champions, in the most equal conditions.
