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!

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!

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!

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

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

Thanks for the game.

I wanted to say something about the tournament organization itself. I think it would be better to shorten the time allotted for the games, as interest in the tournament wanes due to the extended deadlines. :cool: But this is just my personal opinion.

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...

Everything is fine! All remaining games are in the late stages of the save files.
