Winter-Spring 2015 Seasons.


Rules. We are playing according to the Rules for online games in Heroes III and the seasonal Ranked Tournament.
Difference: a system of subjective restarts is in effect: "totaling 2 days":
4.3. Subjective restarts:
each player has the right to take a restart/restarts no later than the end of their turn on the corresponding day, that is, start a new game with map regeneration. It is possible to take either 2 restarts on the first day (111+111), or one restart on the second day (112).
Naturally, by mutual agreement, you can play according to standard tournament rules "totaling 3 days".

Automatic report submission. Only reports submitted using the automatic reporting system will be counted towards the rating. To gain access to submitting reports, you must предварительно register for the tournament. Players who have played at least 5 matches with different opponents on the HW forum can participate in the tournament (it is necessary to provide links to detailed reports).
Before writing reports, you must обязательно ознакомиться с the Rules for writing reports.
If any parameter is entered incorrectly, you must notify the tournament judges: Pit for LM - icq 471401475 or Dirty_Player - icq 408-722-873 so that they can correct or cancel it.

Judges. If problems and disputes arise during the game, immediately contact the moderators and judges, as there are many of them, so most likely someone will be online:
Pit for LM - icq 471401475;
Dirty_Player - icq 408-722-873;
Javdet - icq 275667709;
Mizrael - icq 27384379.
If no one is available, calmly save the game and postpone it. After that, write private messages to the judges - in the upper right corner of any page of the forum, there are words Private Messages, click on them, select the menu on the left - New Message, enter the names of the recipients:
Dirty_Player ; Javdet ; Mizrael ; Pit for LM
and describe your problem.

Offtopic.
Here - only games from the season - reports and discussion of those gaming situations that occurred in them.
It is forbidden to criticize players for:
- writing reports with deadlines for the first week (111, 112, 113...),
- refusing to provide autosaves and gum restarts,
- playing with weaker opponents, etc.
In this topic, such discussions will be off-topic and trolling and will be deleted without explanation.

Unlucky. Thanks for the game
Only 1 Dwelling, Cavaliers. No Conflux, at the start there were 3 Dragon Fly Hives at the ends of the spawn, but the opponent out-tempoed me. Thanks for the game.

I had a fantastic start: Kyrre and few other very good heroes, including Grindan but I had no stone (after checking the map, I had barely enough stone in my zones to build psyche elementals but it would be non-sense to go in such directions with any of the heroes). Because of it I had to rush into another zones although they were guarded strongly and I lost so much fighting with 85 boars, later with ~100 golems that it was unrecoverable. Thanks for playing.
If I well remember I've had Gunnar, Shakti, Damacon. Everything went ok in this one. Thanks for playing

First level-up gave Galtran Logur, and on the second day a hydra external dwelling was spotted. Road connections branched out in all directions, seemed fine, but on day five I decided to attack 48 gnomes on grass for a chest and an obelisk — that's where I lost the game. Necromancy just didn't work out after that and kept failing for the whole game; I didn't take the external dwelling on the first week, but I did build hydras in the fort.
121 with two hydras took a Dragon Fly Hive of 8 wyverns (auto-combat couldn't do it anymore, had to play manually), then the external dwelling, and played on, constantly losing wyverns. For some reason there were very few gold-producing buildings, and I didn't see a single Griffin Conservatory the whole game.
At the end of the third week, the opponent was showing archangels, so on day 141 I hastily started collecting Dragon Utopias. Managed to take four; I got a sword +all, shield +all, hourglass, cap, wings, titan's cuirass, black orb. Finishing week 144, I knew I was in the opponent's line of sight, so I equipped the cuirass, cap, and black orb to at least implode to my heart's content, but I was attacked by 16 archangels — they were immediately blocked by anti-magic, the opponent threatened shackles, and I started summoning imps. My biggest stack — 9 hydras — was almost completely wiped out by a single hit from the archangels. The opponent could have won the fight without any trouble; he just needed to force me to waste my mana early. But he caught me with one stack of earth elementals, cast Blind, then spent all his mana on Implosion and Armageddon, and with only 4 mana left, dealt a devastating but not fatal blow. In short, I won the fight on earth elementals, and both heroes ended up in the tavern. I had several times more gold, so I also dug up my hero faster. At that point, the blue player surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

I had hard start with horde of hell hounds blocking my only road (they were guarding necro boots), no resources to build mages also. Luckily I managed to get enough resources to get mages, had external dwell of them too and attacked dogs 115 with 60 grems, 8 mages, 6 golems, rampart army and dung army. With Mullich I did it with no loses of any major stack (lost 2 golems, 1 dwarf and 2 cents). It's a pity I had no necro hero, even incoming in 2nd week as I had necro boots and necro amulet was incoming, but had 114 expert earth on Mullich and Crag with adv. as I had hat giving earth magic. Things started to look very good since that break of hell hounds. I really felt I was playing a good game on a hard map but opp gave up. Thanks for playing.
Tyraxor was doing just fine (the money could have been a little better), had behe external near the castle. 117 I was there but it was guarded by 38-39 dendroid soldiers (they were guarding as always for me plenty of other stuff). Even if I had +2 morale and didn't lose army ~at all the fuckers crippled me with at least 2 times morale from round 1, even 3 times/round. It was really a pity, 5 or 6 behe 121 would have been... Thanks for the game

For the first level-up, Galtran was given a Log, and on the second day an external dwelling of hydras was spotted. The road branches went in all directions, everything seemed fine, but on the fifth day I decided to attack the gnomes on the grass for a treasure chest and an obelisk; there were 48 of them, and that's where I threw the game. Necromancy after that somehow didn't work out and didn't work for the entire game; I didn't take the external dwelling on the first month, but I did build hydras in the Fort.
On day 121, with two hydras, I took the Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns (auto-combat couldn't handle it anymore, I had to do it manually), then the external dwelling, and played on from there, constantly losing wyverns. For some reason, there were very few money buildings, and I didn't see a single Griffin Conservatory the entire game.
At the end of the third month, the opponent reveals Archangels, so on day 141 I hastily start gathering Dragon Utopias. I managed to take four; they gave me a Sword +All, a Shield +All, a Chalice, a Helm, Wings, Titan's Plate, and the Black Orb. Finishing day 144, I knew I was standing in the opponent's line of sight, so I equipped the Plate, Helm, and Black Orb to at least Implode to my heart's content, but I was attacked by 16 Archangels, they were immediately blocked by Anti-Magic, the opponent threatened with Shackles of War, and I started summoning Earth Elementals. My largest stack — 9 hydras — almost completely fell from one hit of the Archangels. The opponent won the battle without any problems; he just needed to force me to waste my mana early. But he caught me with one stack of Earth Elementals, cast Blindness, then spent all his mana on Lightning Bolt, Meteor Shower, and, left with 4 mana, dealt a crushing but not fatal blow. In short, I won the battle thanks to the Earth Elementals, and both heroes ended up in the Tavern. I had several times more gold, so I also dug up my hero faster. At that point, Blue surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

At the end of the game in the morning, some kind of cloud descended upon my mind, I managed to throw what seemed like an unwinnable game, and I still don't understand why I needed to cast so many Lightning Bolts))
Thanks for the game.

A tough game where I made 2 mistakes: 1 – took a skill without maxing out Earth, so it didn't reach expert by ГО
2 – after taking КЗ in the center, I used my last mana to portal home, but the towers weren't there, and the building was already constructed; I had to spend the day at the respawn, taking Dragon Utopia there without magic :smile32:
As a result, there were 3 FF, and Gunnar bought his way out all 3 times))))
And we never even did the final FF – the opponent surrendered :eek:

...The 1st time Gunnar was crushed in the center with SP near 30 and all the "out-of-the-box" magic, repelled by Vistan right at the respawn exit
There's 1st speed, but I kill flies and after 2 Impls on cyclops and geese I buy my way out in the 2nd round; they took something down with meteors that hit almost as hard as my impl
With a terrible trade for Grej, I buy back and chain together 2 of the 3 golds to the tavern near the center where Gunnar hatches, catching Vistan cell-to-cell; I don't take part of the power with me, leaving surviving ducks, cyclops, and a giant at home
On the way, level 30 Sinka takes the mansion in the center from prison with a HotA ring for disintegrating corpses in battle, very handy – Gunnar buys his way out on horses and ears, leaving Vistan on summoned crap (could have killed him if blinds/morale had passed, but I drove him out of the center, also a win))
Then there were perversions like taking max Dragon Utopia on the 1st gold; the opponent with all his magic was doing the same. We met in the center one more time when the army at the respawn was busy repelling hives, gloves, and shackles; Gunnar on the dragon wasn't afraid, but there happened to be 3 "out-of-the-box" golds and a red orb, another buy-out (lucky that the opponent didn't have second shackles, though a second КШ was eventually found)))
Returning now with the whole army, I pick up that same 2nd КШ which the opponent kindly left – like, why more when you already have some?... but in reality, he was just afraid there wouldn't be enough moves to take the Dragon Utopia and bail home... and only then did he realize that with SP near 40 and 600+ mana after Votrex, there is now no profit to be seen
On 141 titan upgrade, one more purchase; the opponent sees the power, the stats, and surrenders

Thanks for the game! :)

The map was buggy; my two secondary Castles were connected by a road, but there was no road to my main Castle, only a road to the opponent's Castle. I realized this on the second day, but for some reason, I didn't decide to restart. In the first week, I inexplicably attacked with 70 Dwarves on the grass. As a result, 8 Grand Dwarves were running around the field, being chased by four stacks, and I barely managed to defeat them.
In the second week, I went into an underground area that I couldn't reach by road. I knew the map was buggy, so I figured the road from that secondary Castle might lead either to the opponent or to a treasure. There was a Necropolis Castle there. I immediately built a Guild and started replenishing my mana. My plan worked – the opponent showed up soon. There were 24 Vampires with 125 attack :eek:. Fortunately, this was on a low-level map, so I managed to drive them away, and the opponent paid me off with 18 Vampires.
After that, I developed quite slowly, looking for something worthwhile, and only in the fourth week did I get a fully upgraded Utopia Castle with a Knowledge Zealot and a Chaos Knight. On day 211, I took the opponent's Swamp Castle, upgraded my Ducks, and bought growth. The situation was complicated by the lack of Earth, so I wasn't using teleportation yet, but after a couple of Earth days, Moandar got an Earth node in his last slot. On day 215, the opponent set up near my Necropolis Castle, where he was ambushed, after which he surrendered.
Thank you for the game.

The map was bugged; two of my secondaries were connected by a road to each other, without a road to my respawn, but with a road to the opponent's respawn. I realized this on the second day, but for some reason didn't reset. During the first week, for some reason, I attacked 70 dwarves on grass; as a result, 8 grands were running across the field from four stacks, and I barely shot them down.
On the second, I went into the underground, to which I had no road. I knew the map was bugged, meaning that through this secondary, the road could lead either to the opponent or to a treasure zone. There was a necro-castle. I immediately built a guild and sat there regenerating mana. The calculation paid off — the opponent appeared soon after. There were 24 vivs at 125 :eek: Luckily, all of this was on a loser's map, so I managed to drive them off; the opp bought their way out with 18 vivs.
Then it took quite a while to get going, searching for something worthwhile, and only on the fourth week did I take the max Dragon Utopia with КЗ, КВ, and КО. On 211, I seized the enemy swamp, upgraded my ducks, and bought up the growth. The situation was complicated by a lack of land, so I didn't use TP for a while, but after a couple of lands, Moandor got land in the last slot. On 215, the opponent stopped not far from my necro-castle, where he was caught, followed by a surrender.
Thanks for the game.
I made two mistakes that predetermined the loss despite an early advantage: I went scouting with a loser's army and exposed myself to the Castle, although it later turned out Gunnar could have reached him. :mad:
The opp was given КЗ and КВ in the very first Dragon Utopia, while I got nothing in three of them :smile35:
Thx for the game :smile36:
