Picked all the rest - played whatever came up on a whim. The distribution was roughly equal. I had 2 Hives and one Consa Troncle. For a long time, I couldn't figure out what line to build - but on day 6 I revealed the second external dragon dwelling. And on top of that, the summon in the dungeon was affordable. In the end, by week 1 day 21, I had 10 dragons - a strike stack, with them I easily took a Consa three, on day 1 week 2 day 3 I sat in a treasure zone on sand after the ГО (luckily, just cats). There I replenished my mana and freed Isra level 20 from jail, then Valeska level 20 as well, took a minimal Hive. The treasure zone seemed to have utopias, but not particularly rich. I saw from thieves that the opponent had lost somewhere at the start of week 2 - so I wasn't too worried. The only problems were the opponent's constant disconnects. There was a plan to upgrade the dragons - I had the money, but I saw a blue hat with a Hive for green Efreeti - and there they really pushed me around - I lost the angels and half the dragons, almost all the skeletons... :mad: But even with these losses, my army still looked stronger according to the tavern. The opponent understood everything and decided not to drag it out.

Thanks for the game!

Group A
I played poorly, but the map was also all in blocks. I don't know why, in a dire shortage of money, I still decided to poke the birds, even though I had no gold for them. I could've somewhat ramped up my economy through 2 Dwarf Cottages, but for some reason I decided to use a Citadel with one bird and 32 Gnals to break 5-9 Hydras for a prison with 100+ shooters (I thought there were 5-6 of them), but it turned out to be 9. Saved after that. Woke up, spent the day at lectures and work, thought it over on the way home and decided not to drag it out after that :D . Thanks for the game.

We chose all the remaining resources and went for it. Stracker came in second. Didn't see anything particularly interesting on level 112 – 1 castle, 1 hive, and 1 hidden horse stable. But on level 113, the opponent wrote "GG."
Thank you for the game!

Group B.
There was a choice of Jebus Cross or mininosta, but since in the last tournament I burned out because of mini, I decided to go the other way and chose it. On the respawn: Griffin Conservatory and an external dwelling of elves. On the first week I killed all the computer players, then I went into the treasure zone of the necro computer. It turned out to be native, didn't really manage to power up. ГО in the metro through Sandars, I realize that Shakti will clearly get to the center earlier and I decide to go into the treasure zone of the swamp computer. Powered up Wyverns, ate Dragon Utopia, from the useful stuff I got the missing parameters and КЗ. КВ was cleared behind neutrals. Then Shakti showed up and the wars began, cut down Kirrja's mob of noobs. Then Shakti built Archangels, before that he revealed an Elixir and sat in the only Castle on the map. In the Castle I definitely wouldn't have won, so I tried to use Kirrja's almost 5k MP to the maximum. In the end I took a risk and got set up on a split in the main with Army of the Dead and Elixir. By power: 136 Monks, 60 Grands, 5 Angels and chaff. Shakti has a Red Orb, also Elixir, 60 Wyverns, 23 Archangels, 23 Cats and chaff. There was no Black Orb and the Cats resisted Oil, luckily the Archangels only resisted Weakness. Also in the first round the Archangels didn't move because of -1 Morale. I planned to gradually cut down the power with Wait, but the surrender followed.
Thanks for the game!

I took 112 + a restart on the encounter at 116, the opponent took no restarts at all. In the end, the underground layout was favorable: starting artifact + morale-luck, also on the respawn there is +1 to speed, 2 external Troglodyte dwellings, a Dragon Fly Hive, and an external Manticore dwelling - we play. Roads and gold weren't great. On 112 I took a Dwarf Cottage-20, then cleared +1 speed, some gold, an Inferno secondary hero, who had a Griffin Conservatory 3-4. GO through no road. The other road led to the surface, but turned out to be bugged and led straight to the opponent, where said opponent was found, I think on 116. Then I got Expert Earth Magic with Shakti, luckily built a Mage Guild in the Inferno secondary - no Slow, Conservatory is canceled. No gold for breaking, I decide to run through the previously scouted exit to the opponent and take his town before the end of week 2, as there were no other options: from scouting the map I saw the opponent had better prospects. Simultaneously, I took a Dragon Fly Hive with Loh for 8 Wyverns near my home town. In the end, on 126 I reached the opponent's town on my last moves, where 10 Manticores, 8 Wyverns, 19 Evil Eyes, and ~180 Troglodytes under Mass Shield and single Haste justified themselves.

Thanks for the game.

After a series of restarts, I got a good map with a large number of Hives, a single Conflux, and 3 Necropolis mines. The path to the center near the Castle was cut off from the main sand area; I noticed this a bit late, so I had to quickly run to another exit, which was further away. As a result, I reached turn 124 with about 50 Ducks, 37 Greater Minotaurs, and some other units. I immediately took the Knight Shield and more or less relaxed, controlling the center, while my opponent didn't show up. The opponent only appeared on turn 131 with a Solmyr and positioned himself within range. I carelessly attacked, forgetting to equip the Knight Shield. The opponent dealt about 20 damage to my Minotaurs with an explosion and then retreated. I gathered more Ducks and upgraded them, then rushed with the Knight Shield to his spawn point, where I killed him in the Castle without much difficulty. The next game went significantly worse.

Thank you for the game.

Thank you for the game!

Everything was great - double, Necroamulet, gloves, and 300 bones on level 116. But my opponent didn't have any luck.
Thanks for the game.
