The same old papal seven, the market under the Castle and shackles slightly further. I didn't bother to restart. Checked the chance for diplomacy and chose Gundulka as the start.
First week: gathering resources and cash; one road was blocked by mummies (shackle guards), there is a quest skull-helmet, a couple of orc external dwellings, a couple of goblins. On the first, bears in the citadel.
Second week: on the second dungeon level I ate a couple of hives, reclaimed a lvl 5 scroll (mirror :D). Got broken, ran off-road to another second level because the edge of a hive was visible, and the road was blocked by ГО in a metro of 10+ archs. In general, I was scraping ducks; at max capacity, those pests ate my bear.
Third week: while still there, spotted a little shield, already had ribs, nice. Ran a bit further and... behind 5-9 monarchs, a sword :cool: Gundulka, by the way, is a gorgeous woman - with logy, diplo, earth, and air. In general, I gathered AOTD, took 9 monarchs with me, a phoenix external dwelling, spotted the cartographer, and immediately "ayayay" from Petr follows in chat :D For him, this building was right at the entrance to the second level :eek: Refilled mana in the village, took a slag unit and went to hit archs. On the other side of the metro were some psychos; I smashed them without any problem. Then killed 90 nags for two pandoras and two prisons. In the first pandora they gave all earth :smile54: , in the second cash, from the prison I got Kira, ran along the road thinking I could reach the city, but ended up spotting КV of air. Then reclaimed another prison with Isra lvl 20 with exp. air. Used her to reclaim the КВ behind the vasyas. Then with three dd I took a couple more hives and had a trap-plan to kill Tazar at 137, but greed killed the sucker: at first the plan went perfectly, stole bracers as a lure and then a cockroach with 20 mana arrived in the tavern and a new plan emerged - steal the +10 helmet and deliver it to the village. But, naturally, while I stole the helmet, I only managed to deliver it with the help of Gundulka herself and just had enough moves to TP into the dungeon, double my mana, and accelerate. But luckily Tazar didn't get anything useful in the Dragon Utopia and didn't manage to scrape anything in the central underground. At 141 I cover him with a bunch of mana, AOTD, and bracers. Stats there are higher, but little scraping and 16 mana. Cast the kettle and surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!

We started without restarts it seems, the spawn was of course very good (except for roads, one at the crossroads, where from 7 passages, one path immediately led into a one-way portal exit, the second one straight into a comp-barb, I had to wander through the lava all the time).
The elf nook under the Castle, got 18 grand, Kyrre leveled up fast and strong, shield +3, mace attack+4, oil. On the second week 10 angels from 3 conservatories and 16 Wyverns from two Dragon Fly Hives.
On the third week, I hung around for a day near a Dragon Utopia max in the treasure zone, while the "otzhor" arrived, and without much trouble, I got the shield +12/-3, blue cap.
From the capital's tavern, I jumped to the library, stable, then the mana well, and rushed to the opponent's respawn, which was partially revealed by the view from the first week.
On day 137, the jump and the opponent's capital falls. Surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!
I played the first week poorly, somehow mediocrely threw it away. Then I seemed to get going, but in time Kyrre took the capital with freshly built angels; the "pahan" stood waiting for their delivery near two Dragon Utopias, which turned out to be under control.
Thanks for the game!

The papal seven were surrendered, the market was under Castle control and shackles slightly further. I didn't bother resetting. Checked the chance for diplomacy and chose Gundulka as the start.
First week: gathering resources and cash, one road was blocked by mummies (shackles guard), there is a quest skull-helmet, a couple of orc external dwellings, a couple of goblin ones. Bears in the citadel on the first.
Second week: at the second dungeon I ate a couple of hives, reclaimed a level 5 scroll (mirror :D). Got broken, ran off-road to another second dungeon because the edge of a hive was visible, but the road was blocked by ГО in the metro consisting of 10+ archangels. In general, I was scraping ducks; at maximum capacity, those pests ate my bear.
Third week: spotted a little shield in the same place, already had ribs, which is nice. Ran slightly further and... behind 5-9 monarchs there's a sword :cool: Gundulka, by the way, is a gorgeous woman - with logistics, diplomacy, earth, and air. In general, I gathered AOTD, took 9 monarchs with me, a fen external dwelling, spotted the cartographer, and immediately "ayayay" from Petr follows in chat :D For him, this building was right at the entrance to the second dungeon :eek: Refilled mana in the village, took a slag unit and went to hit archangels. On the other side of the metro there were psychos; I smashed them without any problem. Then killed 90 nags for two Pandoras and two prisons. The first Pandora gave all earth :smile54: , the second cash, from the prison I got Kira, ran along the road thinking I could reach the city, but in the end spotted КV of air. Then reclaimed another prison with Isora level 20 with expert air. Used her to take the КВ behind the vasyas. Then with three дд I took a couple more hives and had a trap-plan to kill Tazar at 137, but greed ruined the sucker: at first the plan went perfectly, stole bracers as a lure and then a cockroach with 20 mana arrived in the tavern and a new plan emerged - steal the +10 helmet and deliver it to the village. But, naturally, while I stole the helmet, I only managed to deliver it with the help of Gundula herself and had just enough moves to TP into the dungeon, double my mana and speed up. But fortunately Tazar got nothing useful in the Dragon Utopia and didn't manage to scrape anything in the central underground. At 141 I cover him with a heap of mana, AOTD and bracers. Stats there are higher, but little scraping and 16 mana. Cast the kettle and surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!
Everything was lovely, took my two second dungeons on the first, ducks in the citadel and 2 of their external dwellings; on the second I broke a couple of hives and opened the cartographer, which showed that the opponent had it better on the surface. Tazu was given earth and diplomacy, but he also grabbed logistics and still failed to expert diplomacy, while he managed earth literally one turn before death. I lingered in the gut-like second dungeons hoping for meat and leveling, but no one joined, so I only lost tempo.
Thanks for the game!

It happened that from the start, there was no time for proper gameplay; heroes were running around somewhere, building something. There were three external dwellings of horses at the respawn, but for some reason, angels were being stubbornly built instead. As a result, neither were properly developed. I only managed to gather them into one group by the end of the second week: 2 archangels, 14 champions, and 30 virtues from 4 hives. But the Dragon Utopia in the center had already been cleared along the path, and I fell slightly short of reaching the КЗ with experience land. Craig wiped me out. No chance in fb.
Thanks for the game!

We probably played many games of Heroes 6, it's a very long and interesting game, I don't remember everything, but I was in a worse position in terms of control, and my opponent was in a worse position in terms of army and stats, plus the morale of the Valkyries destroyed them in the Fortress Battle. My opponent made a mistake, by the way.
Here's what the Fortress Battle looked like:
Valkyrie 42-34-23-200, good stats, but without tactics
9 Archers, 137 Marksmen, 27 Fanatics, 36 Ducks, 45 Royal Griffins, Ballista, 4 Angels, 15 Champions, Cloak of Resistance, and a bolt for 877
against Crag
13 Archers, 8 Gray Wolves, 51 Dogs, 37 Ducks, 5 Birds, 1 Bird, 1 Bird, 1 Bird
Ballista
Bolt for 575
My opponent rushed in because I positioned my units like a beginner. I don't think I would have lost even without the morale bonus, but with it, the Fortress Battle was hopeless for him. I lost 9 Fanatics, 9 Archers, 20 Ducks, and 4 Angels.
Thanks for the game.

The opponent rashly pushed forward in the center on 124. Kreg reached them with DD, own flight, and bracers.
Thanks for the game!
Went to the center on 122 at full speed, immediately took +8 vivs and 3 gold, then took +6 all from Fairies. Everything would be fine, but only 5 mana left, with +3 mana per day. Couldn't take anything on 123 except boots of speed, but Tazar spent the night before the cow chord for a library and a box, and most importantly — there is a Castle nearby! On the downside – played during the day, under conditions close to "combat":rolleyes:, but I seemed to hold up until I had to be completely distracted from the game, after which I performed a papal push, probably out of joy that I picked up the boots, wanted to run further :D
Thought I was doing well, but there's Gladius, KAir and the 5th cap from resp; it's quite likely I wouldn't have won even with a powerful build, but at least I fought. Otherwise, it felt like I worked the whole day, only to be told they wouldn't pay :D
Thanks for the game!

Velenok, stop ignoring me on ICQ. Let’s finally finish the game we started a month ago.

Enough ignoring me on ICQ, Veleno. Let's finally finish the game we started a month ago....

What I want to say about the organization of the tournament itself is that I think it would be better to shorten the time allotted for the games, because interest in the tournament fades due to the extended deadlines :cool: but this is just my personal opinion.
Auto-translated
I sketched out a Tower for myself to have a cheap striking stack and a companion Castle to put angels on the first one. By 117, they somehow finally got set up.
On the second, I ate 2 cons and 3 conveniently located Dragon Utopias.
At 132, I was in the central treasure zone with 8 archs, 21 gr. duck, and an implo 2.5k, 150 mana; that's how we survived.
133 I push out the main valenok with a momentum build, use a boosted nelka to push out the second Castle, and kill several losers with Solmir.
134 The opp is left with 2 heroes and 2 Castles.
135 I grab tanta trying to find a better life in my treasure zone. FB was a one-way street.
Thanks for the game.

Auto-translated
I agree about the deadlines; it's been too long, and people are getting relaxed and losing motivation...
The last report in my group was mine, from April 2nd; it's been 27 days since then, and there's been no news...
Save with Nitro on 6LM10A at 211 (we might not even need to finish this game; if the deadline is tight, I'll concede defeat).
Save with Amilu on Jebb at 117. We tried to finish it, but Misha can only play after 9 PM Moscow time, which doesn't work for us :(
Amilu and Nitro also have a save. This is essentially the deciding game. If Sergey wins, we won't need to finish the other games.
Auto-translated
Everything is fine! All remaining games are in the late stages of the save files.
