Posts from Peter invites you to join him for a visit or a new offline tournament for Might & Magic: Heroes VI.

Seven or eight years ago, after a gathering of Heroes players in Moscow, I wrote that "I envy myself," and here we are again, the same thing...
There are people who still play Heroes!!!

You are a great person of our time! I even visited your club, coming from distant Siberia in the year 2000 as an enthusiastic student...
I understand this, even without playing – we still live with it!

It's nice to relax, with 5 empty bottles by the monitor during a game session.

JustObserver (blue, Castle, Terek) def Stomper (red, Inferno, Labeta) 2sm2c 125

Without any issues, I placed the horses in the Citadel, upgraded them to 121 in the treasure zone. My opponent couldn't take a secondary due to a block, so the only path he found led him straight to me, where a mass Haste was waiting.

JustObserver (blue, Dungeon, Ciele) lose Sanin (red, Swamp, ?) 2sm2c 121

I ran through a shifted guard, which cost me 112, and without restarts, I got a short road to a teleport guarded by 5-9 bone dragons. I ran around the respawn, found an external dwelling of medusas, and on the 7th hero, Ciele showed up. At 117, I checked the construction in the castle, saw 1-4, and decided everything was fine, but when I wanted to upgrade at 121, I discovered the medusas hadn't been built :fp: In the end, without a solid chunk of meat, I went at the dragons and got wrecked. An autopsy revealed an external dwelling of ducks and 2 Griffin Conservatories on that side, so even a zero-loss breakthrough wouldn't have saved me.

Added after 9 minutes
Zly got an unexpected free slot in the first round, and it broke him down ^^ poker and the banya crushed his fighting spirit, so he still hasn't been able to handle his second-round game, which means he'll probably drop to the losers bracket soon, maybe even lower ^^

Napalm decided to win the tournament quickly while everyone's still waking up and starting to drink; he's playing the semifinal with Sanin.

Lost the first game on a coin toss and fell into the loser's bracket. Then got matched against Ive — they set up a skirmish. Out of four deals, 3 were Tower (one was technical because Ive set the wrong monsters) — we played a four-player game. The first two were restarted by the opponent, the second by me (too little gold given). From the start, Solmyr, two external dwellings of gremlins, plenty of gold, decided to play for a respawn cons. On turn 113, broke through the Necro, the path to the treasure zone was unguarded wood, and near the Necro castle, a cannon for +4 attack — captured the cannon, crashed into the Necro castle, and broke through to the center. There I took the dungeon, doubled my mana, and headed toward the opponent. On turn 121, we traded to 0, I bought back, and the next day, chased off Ive. Then started a war of ones where Solmyr with 100 mana and archer's arrow proved stronger than a Barbarian with a ballista. On turn 125, the opponent ran out of gold for heroes and surrendered. Thanks for the game.

Sanin (Red, Citadel, Saurug, Terek) def Nitro (Blue, Castle, Adela, Adela) balance 142

On the first week, he built birds at the Citadel, took a box of 70 halflings, and on the second week, Terek escaped into the treasure zone. He gave up all towns, keeping only one Terek. He farmed 63 ducks, took an external dwelling of fire birds, and headed back. With the tactics, mass haste, oil, +1 speed, and logistics — Nitro decided not to continue.

Sanin (Red, Swamp, Broghild, Uland) def JustObserver (Blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Ciele) 2sm2c 121

At the respawn, there was an external dwelling of Wyverns and two Griffin Conservatories; he built the Wyvern and took the external dwelling. Just gave up.

Sanin (Blue, Tower, Daremif, Islin) lose =Napalm= (Red, Dungeon, Ajit, Astral) 2sm2c 135

At the start of the game, =Napalm= painted the external dwelling of green dragons, which largely decided the outcome. Both were wiped out; in the end, they played it out to a magical final battle, and Astral spammed the teapot.

Num, you got this! Kappa

JustObserver (red, Inferno, Aiden) def Player (blue, Rampart, Mephala) Skirmish 125

He had enough money for Ifrits in the castle, and Aiden reached 140 mana by the time they met, which decided the outcome.

JustObserver (red, Tower, Nela) def Noom (blue, Tower, Ivor) Skirmish 117

Noom was simply dominating, reached tier 3 in the first week, but overestimated his strength and lost on day 117 while defending the Pandora's Box, otherwise it could have been a very interesting game.

Falcon-Romantic is just epic, mirroring Inferno with Cyelle against Nela. First, Falcon lost all his castles, then he pumped mass haste and took everything back, and in the end, he won!

JustObserver (red, Rampart, Gurney) lose Falcone (blue, Tower, Solmyr) Skirmish 121

We had a good laugh during the generation because I had no restarts left, and I got 3 gnomes. I had to give up the ballista to break through the artillery on the way to the secondary castle, and in the second week, the griffins decided to die in all the key moments, which ended my performance in this tournament.

Could you at least post a map?

They are spying on them. :D
