01.02.2015 Nitro (Red, Random, Castle, Adela, Sir Mullich) def Vatya (Blue, Random, Conflux, Pasis, Pyra) Mini-Nostalgia 141

Thanks for the game!

First game. Group A.
A long and arduous game, started on October 15, 2014, and finished just before New Year's. The screenshot tells the story best.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. Not Halon, but Alkin is the main hero.

Excellent road spawn, Mullich, cartographer nearby, breaking through on 121, decided to play even despite Kira on the opponent's side. Through simple calculations, I determined we were playing template #1, and planned to crush the opponent on 121-122, for which I captured 5 castles on the first week. But it was not to be! No direct road to the opponent was found, Viktor lied as usual) So I had to do some grinding, what can you do)) It was more fun with the cartographer, got diplomacy as the 8th skill! Found a hill fort in the very corner of the map, took a couple of Dragon Utopias on 131, and headed for the GO, took another Dragon Utopia in the center via Dimension Door, and one turn later caught up with the opponent's Kira. After crushing her on the spot, along with a couple more Necromancers, it became clear which way the wind was blowing... then I pressed the castles, but without Town Portal (no Wisdom)) it became problematic to defend them against a couple of the opponent's strong mages, grinded some more, and finally caught up with Sandro right at a Dragon Utopia)

Thanks for the game!

The first round, with 3 losses reaching 124, decided the game, and Goshan also played an important role. Thanks for the game.

Second round. I don't remember who my opponent was playing, but I had a fun setup with a Shaktis with 1 stack and no artifacts, but with good upgrades, which allowed me to defend against the Castle in the beginning of the second week. From the overview, wings were visible, which my opponent successfully defended against but didn't manage to pick up, and I jumped and grabbed them :smile44:. After that, he surrendered. Thanks for the game.

Game of the 2nd round.
Thank you for the game!

Thank you for the game...

Group D, game 1.

Played with m200.
Luna appeared and did quite well in terms of resources, plus there were hidden Dendroids, so I decided to play, despite Ufretin being in the Tavern. On the respawn point, I saw a Consul 2-4, upgraded to Kentaur, broke through to the Snow secondary resource and took a town. Found another Consul - 2 with a Garrison. Broke through to another secondary resource, Lava, and spotted another Consul in the next zone (Dirt) near the passage. Checked the Consul on the respawn point - a 2. By turn 121, I had houses 1-3+5 in the Citadel.
Luna didn't have much to level up on, so I took the Consul with the entire army to turn 121. On turn 122, I took the second Consul with 2 Angels, making the army 12 Dendroids, 17 Grand Griffins, 50+ Griffin Kentaur, and 4 Angels. I started moving from Lava to Dirt, but I spotted the opponent's movements in that zone. I decided to go anyway - 4 Angels gave me confidence, and it would be good to take the third Consul before the opponent could. On turn 124, I took the Consul - max, and with a Scout, I occupied an empty Necropolis Castle of the Red player. I sent Scouts for reconnaissance, and placed Dessa in the Necropolis. On the next turn, I decided to give Dessa 5 Angels and eliminate a couple of visible Scouts. I eliminated them, and reached the town where the Red player's main hero was, and there was an army nearby. I killed the main hero, and the game ended. As it turned out, the opponent misclicked and bought the main hero in the wrong place, which is why he was so vulnerable. But I don't think that was the deciding factor; Luna and the Consuls just worked out very well.

Thank you for the game.

Group D, game 2.

Again m200.
After the last chocolate, the main town decided enough was enough. One of the secondary towns sank, the other was 3+ turns away across wasteland. At the respawn, the best thing was a Dwarf Cottage with 20-30, no crypt. I fought off what resources I could, broke through to the secondary town, took a Conflux village. Bought Andra there, whom I decided to make my main due to her INT. Found a sword+3 behind gremlins and a passage further behind ogres. By the end of the week, I placed Andra before the ogres, built a chain: Tower-Dwarf Cottage-Andra. Home castle levels 1-4 in the fort.
On 121, I bought as much as I could, took the max Dwarf Cottage, bought fairies and sprites from the Conflux, reclaimed the sword+3, brought everything to the main. Broke through the ogres and a few more blocks. On 122, I opened a Pandora's Box behind ogres, 5k experience, leveled up Air. Have mass Haste. Found a magic well, entered it, 180 mana. Saw a portal behind arch magi, and on the other side a Conflux castle and a Pandora's Box behind water elementals. On 123, I ran to take the castle. Then Sephi comes out of the portal, kills the arch magi and kills a couple of my scouts, but runs toward my Conflux village. I attack with a scout, the army there is 40 gremlins, 120 Troglodytes, and harpies. Power 7, mana 50. I kill 8 eyes with the scout, Sephi spends mana on regular Haste. My main can't reach, so I take the Conflux, buy more sprites there, kill the fish, clear the entire second level. The next turn, after scouting with scouts, Sephi returns and attacks:

Andra 4-4-5-(170), 8 mages, 17 gargoyles, 110 gremlins, 20 sprites, 20-1-1 fairies. Expert Air, mass Haste, and Lightning Bolt at 175.
Sephi 0-0-7-(45), 130 Troglodytes, 32 evil eyes, 9-1-1-1-1 harpies. No mass spells, Lightning Bolt at 185.

A long tough battle, saved by the mana advantage, I cast Lightning Bolts and ran from the Troglodytes. The opponent had 30 Troglodytes left, I had 1 mage, 2 sprites, and 6 fairies, and he sued for peace. I run to finish him off, kill blue scouts with my own scouts, build a chain to transport golems. But the next turn Sephi attacks with tier 3 and tier 2 gargoyles. I kill the tier 3 with ranged fire and sue for peace. I ransom in the Conflux, bring up the golems, attack Sephi and manage to kill her with Death Wave.

Thanks for the game.

The playoffs start tomorrow, with the first round lasting two weeks.
