04.04.2014 Juristis (blue, Conflux, random, Fiur) def Mizrael (red, Castle, Caitlin, Sir Mullich) 6lm10a 225
There was one left on 112, and I seriously thought about whether to take it, as the mines were cut off by mountains. In the end, I decided to play anyway, since I broke the mini-Dwarf Cottage on 112 with Fiur, and with Labetha I cleared an external air dwelling and a max crypt. But the sawmill was only taken at the end of the second week, which is why the birds weren't built in the first week. The economy was fine, but the adjacent zone was on sand. Fiur immediately grabbed Earth and Armor, so he became the main hero.
On the first week, I managed to clear a green Stronghold computer along the way; I found a Dragon Utopia right on the path. Built levels 1-3, 5 in the Citadel with external air and water dwellings.
On the second week, I maxed mana at the fountain and split to go home to take the max Dwarf Cottage and Naga Bank with resources. Then I went into the underground off-road to my treasure zone, while Labetha found a passage from the sand to another treasure zone and ran there with 2 psychos. Found a Dungeon town, took it, along with a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia on the way.
In the underground, 2 more Dragon Utopias immediately lit up, 4 total, but it wasn't clear how to take them. Ran further and found exactly what was needed. Sword +2 attack-defense, necklace +3 spellpower-knowledge, shield +3 attack-defense, 2 Griffin Conservatories, 3 Naga Banks. Also a Tower town. By the end of the week, took 2 Griffin Conservatories for 6 angels and artifacts. Didn't go without a mistake; I spaced out 3 angels during army transfer and entered a max Xsi bank with 3 angels, air elementals, and water elementals. Got hit hard, -1 angel, 15 airs, and 10 waters. With Fiur, I split into the Dungeon for a third Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Utopia. Gold around 20k, while home had fens in the Castle. Fiur gained Artillery and Tactics.
131 - bought everything, take the Conservatory, another level 3. Utopia also level 3, gave a necklace +3 to all stats, a bag of gold, a helmet +10.
Then from 131 to 135, I broke all 4 Dragon Utopias; they gave nothing for control, stats grew more or less, all over 20. Ran towards the opponent through a pink Tower computer, which the opponent killed on the third month. Took the town with Monere; with Fiur, I split there and moved forward with the whole army. I enter the grassy treasure zone native to the opponent, see a taken Utopia, an external angel dwelling, take the town, and find Mullich with 10+ angels and small fry near 2 more Utopias. Stats are much lower than mine. But... there's air control, and Mullich runs away to upgrade archers.
Noob wars begin; the Castle town is taken from me, but I manage to take the Swamp (the former brown computer of the opponent). In the former pink Tower, I build a Town Portal, which doesn't really save me though. In the opponent's adjacent zone, I find a treasure zone with an untaken Utopia, take it, but it's also nothing special. There's also a Conflux town there. Fiur, with basic Wisdom, picks up Log in the last slot, I take it. Labetha becomes the main hero for Town Portal. Chances don't seem great though, as Mullich is growing like crazy and his archer stack looks uncontrollable.
In desperation, I flee from my green computer's territory into an adjacent zone, take a purple Rampart with a Capitol, build a guild there. I send noobs on birds in all directions, find 2 more treasure zones with Inferno and Dungeon towns. Fiur, now with TP, takes a 10k experience box under an Inferno, but nothing else interesting. On day 216, Fly is built in the Rampart. And here, under the new Dungeon, a Dragon Utopia is found. Fiur TPs there, I take it and there's a Cape of Velocity! Chances appear.
But on 217, I can't reach the opponent's main, and on 221, Mullich and Caitlin appear there, and his 5 archangels kill my leveled Xsi on serpents. Fiur breaks 2 more Dragon Utopias, and there's another Cape of Velocity. Under one of them is the Cloak of Undeath; I also see Shackles of War, but can't reach them.
221 - I force Labetha with 2 Dimension Doors to buy back Cathy, also grab an 8-stack Dragon Fly Hive from the opponent on his main. Then Town Portal, army to Fiur, he runs for the Shackles.
222 - Mullich charges in attack. Fiur retrieves the Shackles. Labetha on 1 bird (for some reason I was sure I wouldn't reach it) reaches the opponent's main, but can't take it. Buyback. Fiur sits in the Tower to avoid giving up TP, build a Castle there. Upgrade Air and Water. Double mana. Gear up for Imps and elementals, +10 spellpower, air and earth boosters with books. Elixir.
223 - Mullich attacks.
Final Battle:
Mullich something like 30-30, 35 spellpower, 350 mana.
15 Archangels, 10 Angels, 14 Zealots, 31 Griffins, 24 Cavaliers, 31 Crusaders, 30+ Marksmen.
+3 attack,+2 luck, Expert Armor, Archery, Ballistics, Orb of Vulnerability, Elixir, Water Booster.
Fiur around 27-27, 31 spellpower, 650 mana.
16 Phoenixes, 10 Angels, 11 Psychos, 70+ Storm and Ice Elementals, 47 Monarchs, 6 Serpents.
Expert Offense, Armor, Tactics, Artillery, +1 attack, Air and Earth Boosters, Elixir. Didn't equip Shackles.
First half of the fight, I just stood in defense and cast Lightning Bolts; in round 2, I broke the catapult. Took heavy damage from Chain Lightning and strikes from Archangels and Angels with Wait. In the end, my Angels, Storms, Psychos, and Phoenixes fell. Elementals cast Protection from Air and Water on my only remaining hope - the Monarch stack. I managed to kill the opponent's Angels and almost all Archangels.
The second part of the fight started with a Blind on the Monarchs and the enemy Wyverns flying into my Ice Elementals. I finished the Archangels with Lightning, then the Monarchs joined the fight through Cure. The Ice Elementals held up well too. The opponent for some reason didn't retreat the Wyverns from town, and I finished them off with morale from my units. Decided to play through Death Wave, carefully weakening the Crusaders and Cavaliers with Lightning. But my Protection from Air wore off, and the enemy's Lightning Bolt also hit 10 Monarchs per shot.
In the end, I have 11 Monarchs and 10 Ice Elementals left; the opponent has 14 Zealots, 6 Crusaders, 12 Marksmen, 4 Cavaliers. I kill the tent with Wait, next round Lightning into the Fanatics and hit the Cavaliers for -2. In response, Lightning for -10 on my Wyverns and Crusaders finish off the Wyverns. Marksmen and Ballista shoot, -2 Ice Elementals.
And on my towers' turn, a Death Wave goes off, killing both heroes))
But I have much more gold and towns, and Labetha remains with the second Cape of Velocity and Gauntlets.
223 mine - I pressure with Labetha and an army from the Rampart at the opponent's main; the arriving enemy Vidomina kills Cuthbert with good artifacts via Death Wave. After 2 turns, the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game!

04.04.2014 Juristis (blue, Conflux, random, Fiur) def Mizrael (red, Castle, Caitlin, Sir Mullich) 6lm10a 225

It happened. I was playing catch-up the whole game; only the archs and the fact that my opponent wasn't rushing to take the castle for their angel upgrades were any consolation (and at that moment, I had nothing to meet them with). In the end, Mullich got the elixir, found the cloak of renunciation, and scraped together enough money to upgrade half of his angels. I could have held out longer, but Labeta was already aiming from 2 DDs out of the darkness to grab my starting castle, and giving archs to the opponent was not an option at all. So I attacked with the cloak; the mistake was that despite having the black orb, I blanked and didn't hit the water elementals with an ice bolt (which is exactly why I carried it—to blind phoenixes if needed and slash elementals with magic). That same black orb disabled resist and made the +15 boots useless. And then the morale of the monarchs with +1 finished me off; with 3 morale and 2 luck, it didn't proc for me once :) Thanks for the game.

06.04.2014 ProtosAchon (Stronghold, Craig Hack, Craig Hack) def LeBron (Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) 8mm6a, 1.4.2

Average start with stables near town, orc dwell and cons in area. Checked cons, 3-4 angels there. Week 1 i took central town and killed tan and found one more cons on grass. Hack got exp log, air and tactics and he got 10k xp for quest artie. In town i build rocs with citadel.

Wk 2 start i buy all army and go for cons on grass. It was minimal, but i found blind scroll and that was enough to take cons with 3 angels in my area. Hack go in another center area while scouts go for my t-area. Scouts found 2 cons, some hives and utopia, so i retreated Hack after i took center town and go for tope with him. At the end of week opponent came in middle and took one of my towns.

Week3 start i kill his scout and he goes in another areas instead going on me. In the meantime i found 3 more utopias and i took them all in wk3. No dd/fly/tp but got nice stats with red orb. In necro town i got tp, but lacked dd/fly. I did not need them at the end since at wk4 start opponent came within Hack range. I attacked and he resigned. Thx for game.

Everything is correct! I spent the entire first week running on 4 mules, which really slowed down the tempo; in the end, I only broke through to the center by 131, and found only one Dragon Utopia—a minimum with +4 all. No control was given, so my only hope was to escape with Gunnar, but Craig caught up.
Thanks for the game!

Next round:
Yostairs (Conflux) vs ProtosArchon (Stronghold)
Deadline - April 21st.

On the other side:
Juristis (Conflux) vs winner (Dirty_Player (Dungeon) vs GoD (Rampart))

Regarding the Game of the Year. I've extended the deadline, considering personal circumstances. There's no result, and even worse, there's no communication. Dirty_Player can only play during the day next week. Eugene, is it possible for you to finish the game by Friday? If you can't play during the day in the next 4 days, then Kostya will be next. I'll wait until tomorrow morning. If I don't have information about the exact time for the replay, GoD will get a technical loss tomorrow.

I sincerely apologize for the delay. Due to health issues, I wasn't able to play the tournament on time, and it was my fault. I've already arranged with Kostya to play tomorrow at 5 PM Moscow time. I hope to finish it in one, or at most two, attempts.

Kostya took all the resources, I had 1 left. But I didn't take it, since from the start I had a moneybag + Erdamon, 1100 income right away, as well as Marusya, an ideal guild, and 2 Griffin Conservatories. There were shooter blocks, 20-49 orcs and 50+ archers, but I decided I could break through. The orcs fell easily, but the archers killed 2 air elementals. However, behind them I found stables.
In the first week, I captured villages with secondary heroes, the roads weren't ideal, but 3 Griffin Conservatories gave me something to do in week 2. On the snow, I found an external marketplace, which allowed me to trade mercury for phoenixes. Result of the first 1-7 was in a fort, Marius with Attack and Tactics.
On the second week, I took Griffin Conservatories 1+3+4 (burnt angels to the max, -1 bird and angel), also a box with 20k experience for 64 rocs, experience for air, wisdom, ballistics. Then I split to another adjacent zone, where I started collecting Hives, got the red orb and boots +2 to everything. Geon ate a box with 10k experience and with Oil killed 20 bears for a hive and a sword +6. Rozik captured another couple of hives. On day 125, Shakti ran out to one of the adjacent zones, I finished capturing the fifth hive, transferred to Marusya, but was 1 step short of the opponent. Meanwhile, off-road in the underground, I found КВ, a shield +12, 2 Griffin Conservatories, and a Dragon Utopia.
Shakti ran away, I went on the attack. I took the former Rampart of the brown player and 2 villages from the opponent. On day 132, I started heading back home, planning to go through the stable to get to the Dragon Utopia, КВ, and Griffin Conservatories in the underground, but unexpectedly Shakti returned and sat in a swamp village on his adjacent zone. I delivered 3 phoenixes, broke into the Rampart, and reached him.
The armies were roughly equal (6 phoenixes, 7 angels, 27 wyverns, and a few fairies vs 5 angels, 29 wyverns, 15 minotaurs, and 230 troglodytes), but the stat advantage (16-13 vs 7-8) under the red orb decided it. Thanks for the game!

A good start, captured several villages, scouted 4 Dragon Fly Hives and a Griffin Conservatory. From external dwellings, only troglodytes and harpies. Revealed an external angel dwelling, but a medusa block prevented me from capturing it on week 1. Minotaur week is welcome. On 121, started by taking the Griffin Conservatory without scouting (as usual, the signature Papist move). The Griffin Conservatory turned out to be max with Gorgons, but fell very easily nonetheless. Then quickly collected the hives, ate a couple of boxes, leveled up nicely. Then killed the computer and moved to another, but there was no road there, just a direct exit into the treasure zone. On 125, Mariuss shows up and is 1 hex short. The tavern reveals good combat stats and a stronger army: 1-4 birds, 5-9 angels, 20-49 wyverns, I have essentially the same: 22 wyverns and 5 angels, plus 220 troglodytes, but lower stats. I run back, take another hive. Sent Labetta to pick up the Titan's Plate to have something to fight the superior army. No undead in sight. Mariuss turns around and runs. Solmyr shows up in the tavern, very opportune! I pass the Titan's Plate to Shaktyor, the schoolboy gets Armageddon (resulting in 750 damage and 140 mana), take a Pandora's box for 15 cows. Life is getting better. Ready for battle. Marissa turns around and attacks. And then, very unexpectedly, a red orb appears. The higher combat stats leave no chance. Thanks for an interesting game, good luck in future.

18.04.2014 ProtosArchon (Stronghold, Craig Hack, Craig Hack) def Yostairs (Conflux, Inteus ,Vokial) 6lm10a, 2.1.5

No one took restart at all. Opponent was happy with Vokial, i was happy with tan PC being stronghold. I took his town in first week and found behemot dwell there. I was able to build behemots in my town and take dwell wk1, so i had nice army from the start. Craig Hack got all good skills but he could not get logistics. I found tp scroll early and started to use it when wk3 started. It helped me to explore map pretty quick but i lacked dd. But opponent had even more problems. He had much weaker stats and no dd/tp either so he surrendered early month 2 when his options became limited. Thx for game.
