Super game with a strong opponent! We played several sessions.
On the 2nd week, I took КЗ behind the Chaos hydras. Army of 20 ducks angel-)
Then I took 2 Dragon Utopia helmet +6 all, pendant+3 all
Stats became nearly 30
Tazar leveled up perfectly, but I messed up and didn't teach them wisdom, which almost cost me
on the 3rd week I took the city inf comp. Around 137 it seems Gurnie appeared with combat stats 21-17. Next turn I attack him.
1 fb I cut down 8 of his angels with an explosion, 15 ducks, 9 efreets, several unicorns.
He cuts down 20 magmatics, 10 wyverns probably and buys out.
Further I thought about where to go since there was no convenient way to the opp.
In the end, I just blindly ate the map. Ate Dragon Utopia, got another earth book
My second hero was Corbac, the book suited him perfectly)
on the 1st week of the 2nd month I was attacked
2 fb there is a cloak of renunciation, elixir. Stats same as Tazar
There are 12 angels, 100+ demons, 15 pits, 26 ducks and something else
I have 7 angels, 63 gr wyverns, 10 efreet sultans and something else ))
The opponent bought out at 90+ demons, leaving me 1 angel, 6 wyverns and 3 efreets.
I survived until 221, while gathering 20+ ducks, built up the castle to archangels from the village, and put Phoenixes in Flax
On 222 opp settled in the comp castle. I buy up and attack.
3 fb There are 90+ demons, 5 grey ones, 2 angels, 12 efreets - combat stats 47-35 with elixir
I have 50+ magog, 27 storms, 2 archs, 27 gr wyverns, 6 phoenixes, 11 efreets, several snakes-+1 speed and cr orb. Combat stats 31-36
Closed the gates, won. гг
Thanks for the game!
PS-What's doubly pleasant is that the opp had DD and wings, probably from the 3rd week. I had TP

07/19/2014 Nestor86 (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def =Lizard= (Red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) Diamond 222

Up until the 4th week, the opponent had a total advantage. Then, thanks to demon summoning and running along the edge of the map with control, I managed to equalize in power and stats. I largely lost because Gurnisson was never offered armor throughout the game. Nestor is great; he hid his Knight for a long time and revealed this trump card at the right moment. Respect. Thanks for the game!

P.S. Thanks to the organizers for the great tournament. It was interesting to test my skills in an unfamiliar version on little-known maps.

As they say, I gathered resources, and after choosing my resting places, it generated a block near the castle, which is chaos, and there's no way to get around the block =(.
Thank you for the game and your time.

Looks like I got you at a bad time =).

Opponent has surrendered.
Thank you for the game!

A difficult game turned out, primarily because of the timer and my papal bluff (how can one manage to think about what to do with 5-6 heroes on full control in these 8 minutes - I don't know, I probably never had that much APM even when playing WC3 in my time).

Having scratched out anarchy (didn't want a coinflip), I got a blue Minotaur, though my opponent surprised me by taking the first Rampart computer, I calmly drafted Necropolis, Swamp, and Tower for change (as it turned out later, this Tower was no joke :)).
The plan was simple as usual - find a Necro, start necromancing, and then level up the Pope in a treasure zone in a week. On day one, I got Vidomina, a so-so Necro, but still, poor respawn - long roads to the computers, but I decide not to restart yet. On day two, nothing changes, same dullness. And then, instead of calmly taking 112, I transfer my entire army to Vidomina so that the opponent would take 112 himself — the plan doesn't work; the turn is passed to me. In the tavern, I found Mullich — I go all-in, now the whole army is on Mullich. "Well, now you'll definitely take 113," I thought and went for a smoke.
Again a miss, no restart — we play on.
To avoid writing a wall of text, I'll just say that the first two weeks were a nightmare. No money, no troops, couldn't necromance — 120 bones in two weeks. I ran around killing computers with mixed success, leveled up Deiss because he got Logistics.
By 131, I broke into a treasure zone, and it was tiny — got one Dragon Fly Hive there, crashed, went home to another treasure zone. The Pope's stats were something like 7-3 :), level 9 or 10. Lucky with the treasure zone — 3 or 4 Dragon Fly Hives, resulting in a stack of 28 Wyverns, a chest for meat, which allowed me, after losing all 8 horses, to take a Dragon Utopia — there were Wings and a Shield +4 All — excellent! There I also took a chest for 3 Titans, and off we went.
From week 4 with the Wings, I expanded, took a Dragon Utopia with КЗ and КВ (before that, honestly leveled up Deiss's Wisdom, built a useless Mage Guild, collected scrolls, etc.), and more Dragon Fly Hives. An unpleasant thing happens — Deiss is poorly leveled, no armor, but First Aid is there. Meanwhile, the opponent is fully leveling Crag Hack during this time, army and stats have been higher since day one, I don't even look into the tavern anymore so as not to get upset :). I decide to snatch the central treasure zone from the opponent, succeed, there are 4 Dragon Fly Hives and a couple of chests; Titans were built in the Tower (by the way, in one of the treasure zones there was an external dwelling of them). Now fewer problems, but still — no Pope, no money for Angels or Archangels, I don't even think about upgrading Titans yet. The army there is still stronger, and I already have a lot too — 8 Angels, 60+ Wyverns, 500+ bones (forgot to mention, since gaining control I started necromancing when possible).
The center is eaten, one treasure zone is eaten, another small one, a third treasure zone gave nothing except one idiotic Dragon Utopia and a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, though money appeared — I built and upgraded Angels. Upon viewing, I see there is a huge treasure zone still at the opponent's, which he hasn't visited.
I give the entire army to Mullich (10 Archangels, 3 Titans, and 70+ Wyverns), with this army I jump into the unknown (I've already given up on level 23 Deiss, leveling Mullich fully because he got Tactics, Offense, Earth Magic). And there is the climax — 3 Dragon Utopias, one of them max, where I gather the Alliance — absolutely unreal timing! The opponent is already in this treasure zone, I fly away with Mullich safe and sound because the army there is still stronger!
Then I spend two or three days (oh, those 8 minutes, the mouse was smoking periodically) gathering and upgrading meat, necromance a bit more, 3 Necros on full control.
In the end, Crag Hack reached this piece of the treasure zone that I "stole" days earlier. Even though Mullich, after Offense, Tactics, and Earth Magic, caught nothing else worthwhile, I calmly attack.
At Crag Hack, combat stats 30+, magic stats don't matter — I have Magic Resistance, a hundred Wyverns, a hundred Demons (they were demonizing there), 10 Angels, about 20 birds, and assorted small fry.
But this Mullich, with this army, didn't let Crag Hack get a turn ;) (it's hard to see in the picture, won't upload in better quality — 117 Monks, 12 Archangels, 11 Titans, 1600+ upgraded Skeletons, 40 Basilisks, 80 Marksmen, a few Flies)


Thank you for an interesting game!

Thank you for the game!

Hey guys, if anyone sees Romantic in ICQ, tell him to contact me on Skype or in the Heroes chat. My ICQ isn't working for some reason.

The romantic successfully drove Charn away, right near the castle to which the chain led. Diplomacy defeated the Necromancers.

Thank you for the game.
