2VanjaM: Send me a message on ICQ about your desire to continue the tournament until 07/17/14. Otherwise, I will remove you from the tournament as missing.

Cobra, let me know when you’re available to play.

Cobra, can you tell me when you're available to play?

You're all so impatient; I didn't respond on ICQ for a couple of days, and you immediately run to the forum! :D

Now it's trendy to whine about technical support :D

Thank you for playing!

Thank you for the game!

Thank you for the game!!

Who called me?))))
The opponent took both rests, I didn't take any, so Adela showed up. I tried to attack on two fronts, until Kirra was killed by Grindan from the Conflux computer... But even with just one Adela it turned out very cool and tempo-heavy, with no chance for Redwait..
Thanks for the game!

The "no chance" part is said correctly.
1 path is blocked by ГО, from the barbarian the treasure zone is a small snowy one, even though it's native, there's little use from it.
Went to the dungeon, there I broke through on turn 1 with 47 storm elementals for Legion hands, well the joins were already there, but I gave away a bit too much. Then into the treasure zone, and there's such a long road that it's just awful to travel for about 5 days...
At the end of week 2, Cobra arrives by flight with a bunch of power, first thought of course is they dug up a Fly scroll, but then I realized it was wings. Reached the treasure zone, there's a Water Magic book right away, but didn't fight almost 50 liches. Then along the way some weird blockers, not enough power, nobody wants to join. Built a level 5 in a distant town there Dimension Door, great but no mages at all. Rylan with Knowledge 2, found a library and +3 all and even an upper Cartographer, but it's too late, the attempt to get a hero from prison in hopes of a mage was unsuccessful, Cobra visits the Cartographer in my footsteps and then I decided not to drag it out.
Thanks for the game!
Thanks to the organizers for the tournament. It was going well, but apparently the 2-month break between games took its toll.

Good game. Gosha joined, summoned almost 200 skeletons, had some cons, killed the computer opponent, but the other opponent didn't have a good game. Thanks for the time.

Thanks for the time.

It was a tough game with unrealistically long and winding roads; no one really wanted to join for three weeks, but I managed to gather a stack of angels (10+) from the console. Conflicts started on turn 3, but we dispersed quite peacefully. I killed 3 Dragon Utopias (they're terrible), placed 2 or 3 level 5 Guardians, didn't get control, but Kostya got lucky and acquired Dimension Door earlier than me. However, I found the biggest treasure zone by browsing around – it took some effort to find how to get there (it felt like Narnia, covered in snow and huge). There were 2 Dragon Utopias and plenty of other good stuff inside, and they gave me both KZ and KV! :smile08: After that, I quickly captured cities and found Shaktii after just a couple of turns. Thanks for the game.

They gave me the moon :smile51: didn't seem to take any resurrections, torched the wings behind the Nagas, but it was too far, burned them on turn 115, crashed on the same turn, stole +10 SP, took the Consular (3), next turn another Consular (3), and chains through the Chocolate, initially prepared for a second turn at the opponent's location, but it was a throw, as it turned out the opponent also had chances, if I hadn't rushed, there was a Cloak of the Undead King at the native + neighboring spawns. Thanks for the game

They gave the moon :smile51: didn't take any restorations as far as I recall, lit the wings behind the nagas, but it was a bit far, burned them on turn 115, crashed on the same turn, stole +10 SP, took a consulate (3), next turn another consulate (3), and chains on the chocolate, at the start of the second I was ready to be at the opponent's place, but there was a forfeit, as it turned out the opponent also had chances, if I hadn't rushed, the Cloak of the Undead King was lying on the native+neighbor spawns. Thanks for the game

Thanks for the game.

I'll write a report now.

Seeing two Cons at the Castle and 19 Griffin Riders from the start + their external dwelling made me think about playing. However, it turned out that the only road was completely blocked by Pit Lords. But after one and a half days of travel, I found a teleport, so after some deliberation, I decided not to restart. I run to the teleport; it leads to a block near my home town. Adela is already level 8, with expert Air magic but no Sight spell. There are a couple of small joins. I set up horses. My opponent has roughly the same thing, except they have 200 Gremlins already. On the second week, I take the Consul-Dwelling very awkwardly, rush to the center, and manage to get to the computers on day 124; we just missed each other. I take the Swamp and then the 12th Hive there; Quick showed a loss)), but Magic wins! At the end of the week, I arrive at the Underground Cartographer; in my army, there are only 2 Angels. Level 11 Wyverns, 20 Rocs, and 100 Ogres, but Adela has Logistics, Air, Earth, and Tactics skills. Kira is occupying another center at this time; she has Shackles and Resurrect from Alamar. In her army: 2 Angels, 316 Gremlins, and 50 Griffin Riders. Her skills include 3 spells. Two Dragon Utopia structures are visible next to the central Castle. On day 131, I also see them, but it's too early to think about how to take them. I run to the town between the purple and pink areas. There is constant fighting for my strategic center (the height), which takes up a lot of time and money). Until day 135, I clear this area with Adela; in my army, there are already 8 Angels and 27 Wyverns; I have Meteor on 275 and 180 mana (I gained experience in Intelligence); now, I am seriously thinking about taking my opponent's Dragon Utopias. Meanwhile, my opponent is standing on their level 3 Dragon Utopia structure above, but they don't seem to be taking it; perhaps they are waiting for something. They also have 4 Castles; in their army: 2 Angels, 24 Wyverns, 15 Vampire Lords, and 350 Gremlins. Days 136-137 - I take two more Hives using Chains; there are already 47 Wyverns!! Adela runs to her Dragon Utopia below; I don't have time to take another Consul at the Swamp. Day 141 - I take my Dragon Utopia – it’s minimal, but it gives Wings :smile23:. I sit in my home Inferno town, replenishing mana. Day 142 - I gather everything that looks good and become one day away from his Dragon Utopia without speeding up, but so that he can't see me. Day 143 - I don't have enough units to overwhelm him, so I take a Dragon Utopia again, another level 1, but with КЗ!!! I use Dimension Door back home. Day 144 - I upgrade 50 Wyverns, take a level 2 dwelling with КВ in my center :smile54:. Day 145 - Join 18 Sultan and 14 Necro Knights; I double my opponent's mana, try to catch their main hero or army without mana with 4 Dimension Doors, but I miscalculate slightly and use Dimension Door back home.
Day 146 - The Dragon Utopia gains +10 spell power. Joins of Sultans and Liches. Upgrade everyone in the Fortress of Hills. Day 147 - Fortunes Bounty. In my army: 12 Archdevils, 95 Griffin Riders, 32 Sultans, 14 Dread Knights, and 63 Liches, 600 mana, all Air and Earth magic. Stats: 7 6 18 9 (573)
Tvarina has: 7 Angels, 30 Wyverns, 327 Gremlins, 20 Medusas, 9 Golems, 10 Ogres, 6 19 12 14 (106) Magic – 3 elements, but no Town Portal. Mass Haste; because of high defense, the Archdevils don’t kill the Gremlins)). But still GG – Thanks for the game!
Sorry that it happened this way (c)

PS. I took revenge for the loss in the second round in this same tournament! However, in that game, I played really well; anyone who saw the game from Tvarina's perspective will understand.

I played almost like Tvaryna(s) without breaking any rules. :D Mizrael took both rests, I took my 111 and we started. On the first turn, I took the dwarf hold for 5k, got moving, bought 8 heroes, a Dragon Utopia by the Castle, and decided not to rest. Then I hit the only exit—a one-way path; good thing there was at least an entrance :) The Miner immediately gets log and earth :cool: I went into the treasure zone; at the entrance were shackles behind pegasi (I didn't touch them for now), took a village swamp, where there were another 2 Dragon Utopias and 2 hives. Weekly build—guards in the citadel. I waited on 121, saving cash for 122 full trade, buying up, transporting; clues drop on 4 vivs, on 123 + 6 vivs, then I take peppers and the arena behind a horde of grands. I climb back to the surface, + bracers, take the Tower companion. Build +1 knowledge, I don't hold the Castle—I run further; can't exactly skip 1700MP as the boss :) I dive into the teleport from the tower, see a red one-way entrance (looks like the road to the opponent—decide to scout on the next turn), and meanwhile keep running, emerge at the barbarian companion. On 126 I take the level-one consulate and stand on the dwarf hold, sending troops to defend the tower. 127—scouting, see a hero flag, but I stood crookedly; can't see which hero it is. But I see an untaken hive nearby behind a horde of dogs and a consulate, which also seems untaken, otherwise clues would have been taken)) I hit 90gr. dogs without mana (my mistake) with significant losses, - 3 vivs etc. I hit the max hive with Gunnar, another -3, +12 vivs. With the Miner, I kill a hero with 1/2 of the barbarian's weekly growth and on the last cell take the level-three consulate, having previously removed the shackles, since the timer is already trashed :) Then several battles with spoons; Labeta rules for me with 50 mana, I replenish mana and FB in the Castle. There are 6 angels, 2 bega and some small stuff; I have 3 angels, 18 vivs and some small stuff. But there's no mana there. I immediately cast slow and a shooter on 105 (took an earth ball near the consulate) carries the battle

Overall, I played with rare focus, which usually rarely happens when I play from work.
Thanks for the game!

I've updated the table. We're getting closer to the finale. :smile14:
