Posts from One for all and all for one - 3

In general, on map 136, I chose the worst option – something like a rush, although within the turn, there was a computer Conflux with a built-up Grail or the opponent's starting city. Both options were successful. But how did it happen? Thanks for the game.

I can't agree on game times with Grizvald. I request that the tournament organizer set two dates for a double-elimination match to finish one save game and for one new game.

Manics vs. Nub-Cutters. Game 2
First, Kostya took all three respawn points, then I took two. We started playing as a pair. A large respawn point where I spent the whole week. Towards the end of the week, I found a hidden spot for efreets. On day 121, I took a consul-mini, upgraded the sultans. Gunnar is already an air expert. On day 123, Nelka unexpectedly appears with single monarch units. I gathered shackles and attacked in a chain. Thanks for the game.

Maniacs vs Nuboruby. Game 2
First Kostya took all three resets, then I took two. Ended up playing this pair. The big respawn where I hung out all week. By the end of the week I found an external dwelling of efreets. On 121 I took a mini Griffin Conservatory and upgraded the sultans. Gunnar is already an expert in air. On 123 Nelka unexpectedly appears on single monarchs. I picked up shacks along the chain and attacked. Thanks for the game.

I realized I was seriously risking exposure, but I really needed to take the center of the Dragon Fly Hive. Out of 6 explored zones, only 1 creature bank spawned — a Griffin Conservatory-2 and 1 external dwelling (ghosts). I can't even remember such poverty on the LM. The payoff for the mega-sphere on panic ;) . Thanks for the game!

I can't agree with Grizvald on the game schedule. I ask the tournament organizer to set two dates for completing one save game and for one new game.

Dates for the save game: 02-03.04, 20:00 Moscow time (waiting time 1 hour, minimum game time - 3 hours, on the last day of the deadline - 5 hours).
Dates for the new game: 04-05.04, 20:00 Moscow time (waiting time 1 hour, minimum game time - 3 hours, on the last day of the deadline - 5 hours).
If you can agree on an earlier time, that's fine; if not, then these are the dates, but the minimum game time remains unchanged.

I hope everyone remembers that today is the last day of round 2? Judging by the lack of complaints about problems (except for the Surmai-Griswald match), everything is going well, right? No axes will be needed? ;) So, tomorrow I can summarize the results and, with a clear conscience, open the OFB :)

and open the OFB with a clear conscience :)

yayyyyyyyyyy:smile13: :smile13: :smile13:

First round. Thank you for the game!

Round two. Thank you for the game!

First round. Thanks for the game!

The opponent and the TP and DD units were in the first tower. We had nothing in the three towers. The result was predictable; with their jumping ability, they devoured everything in their path, caught up to and killed Mephala first, and then, a few turns later, Izru. Thanks for the game.

Second round. Thanks for the game!

a match painfully similar to the previous one, only even cooler:
built up 4 towers to level 5 -- nothing for air control, and by the way, Town Portal wasn't brought in any of them :mad: despite the fact that there were 5 impls -- 2 from towers, 2 from scrolls, 1 from КЗ, which Griney stole from Dragon Utopia oppa in the middle of the 3rd week in zone 22)))
cut off the blues from the center back in the middle of the 2nd, but there was a Dimension Door from a scroll (read: from the 1st tower))) and he then just hopped over to the computers
and as for Charna, which I knew about, NOT A SINGLE NECRO entered my hand during the whole match!!!!!! :eek: :eek: how is that even possible, considering the brown necro-castle with a built-up upgrade was taken at 114, and there were even necro-boots lying around in microscopic zone 21, but there was no one to necro-crit, none at all :(
zones 17, 18, and 23 were just like 21, although in the first I dug up a knife in the market and assembled AoTD, and the last one threw in a consu and 4 hives, but 1 was behind a wall, no one reached it
in general, I ate 3 central treasure zones and my own corner one (Griney without power thanks to magic) but as for Dragon Utopia, other than the one already taken in the zone adjacent to the blue respawn, I didn't see any more
also, I found neither boots nor gloves anywhere
the treasure zones, as it turned out, were small because of the enormous 24th, stretching across half the underground, with 5 or 6 Dragon Utopias, where the missing control was, of course
ate everything available, running towards the blue shields (I provoked them on purpose, thinking that with AoTD +3 speed and ballistics in the Castle I would definitely outshoot them, and with 340 mana there were options anyway)
but we are being pressed back with Dimension Door, I decide to run through zone 22 into the mega-gigantic 24th
my 215 Charna, which I had previously taken off the acceleration in my main, falls a couple of cells short of my corner village
I portal/crash everyone there -- the calculation was that if there is nothing magic-related there, then kamikaze Armageddon Griney, and then Kirry with the mess and shackles
and if it's an orb, that's also not bad))
but it turned out to be the worst option -- cloak of renunciation
Kirry already pulled from the hyper-treasure zone, our map-eating pace is an order of magnitude slower + we could be caught ourselves at any moment -- left the bracers for Grinya and Kirry attacked with the calculation that even if I lose, Charna will spend mana, and Grinya will easily finish them off
but a kilo of skeletons with the rest of the power and mass haste gave no chance to pull through
gg, thx for the game :)

Teapots vs Chistiya draw
second round game, 1-2

gave away a lot, on the first week a treasure zone with a utopia was spotted, got Town Portal in the home guild, wings in the second Dragon Utopia, and КВ in the third, parameters were better.
Thanks for the game.

Chayniki vs Chistiya draw
second round game, 1-2

gave out plenty, a treasure zone with a utopia was spotted in the first week, got TP in the home guild, wings in the second Dragon Utopia, and КВ in the third, parameters were better.
Thanks for the game.

Gave out very fatly, but only one Dragon Utopia for three treasure zones. There was aotd, but of course no shara was found. Thanks for the game.

to avoid arguments about the opponent's use of technical means in yesterday's final (because messages are already coming in, even in private messages)

personally, I have no complaints about this
I think it's no more terrible than taking screenshots of air/ground views and then reviewing them on the fly
the best way to deal with such things is a chess timer for PvP, similar to the strategic element
if, for example, players were given 10 minutes for battles + 1 minute per round + 10 seconds per unit's turn, and when the time runs out, the unit goes into defense, then this would be a sufficient compensation))
as an option, a general pool with additions for all PvP battles
this is feasible on HD, but most likely utopian
although it would definitely save from 3-hour finals, and the game time would also be reduced (especially in the case of a general pool - by saving time on battles with weaker players in the final)))
but if there are those who want the innovation, we can have a vote))

and, I repeat, I have absolutely no complaints about the opponent in yesterday's game
the essence of the gameplay has not been violated
with a photographic memory, you can remember where the mines are on the map
or compensate for this with technical means))
just as the automatic transfer of troops/artifacts in HD, and previously third-party utilities, compensate for slow clicking, so here is a compensation for attention and memory
and the fact that the spell was unexpected - for me, the Cloak of Negation was also unexpected :D knowing about it in advance, I would have played differently, so it's my own fault :)

Teapots vs Pure Draw
first round game 2-1

I had to win twice for a single victory, because in the first match everything was going well, but at 117 I wanted to run past the shifted passage guards with a Lox and realized that it's probably not allowed here, although I felt like I had done it before; I informed my opponent, checked my saves, and it turned out that I had bypassed the boys with a powerful Father. I remember thinking for a long time whether to fight through so as not to lose MP or to save the 8 centaurs. Anyway, I told my opponent that I broke the rules, he half-forgave me, meaning I was playing for a draw. At the start of the second week, I had the advantage, but the opponent also crashed in max cons.

In the second match, neither of us used one-//crit, and the opponent was no worse, but thanks to magic I carried the first FB, followed by a buyout for 20k, and at the end of the game in the third guild I got Dimension Door and reached Galtran while speeding.

Thanks for the games.

P.S. it is very difficult to concentrate on the game when you are rocking your son to sleep between turns, and sometimes even during a turn.
