SnowmanV2 vs Daоshi Dwarves vs. Orcs. It turned out to be strange. We had to restart the game twice due to technical issues, and the game itself was very spontaneous and bizarre. In any case, it was fun. Here's the replay.
This time, for some unknown reason, the commander of a huge army of ferocious, bloodthirsty creatures turned out to be not the most courageous warlord, rushing headlong into the attack as soon as darkness fell. And perhaps such a tactic would have been useful in any other situation, but not against those who were created specifically for battle. While the wolf riders, engaged in lively discussions around the campfire, were relaxing and spending a long evening, the forest on the southern bank of the river suddenly became noticeably more active. Huge walking trees, their crowns obscuring the dark sky, moved like giant titans towards the army of invaders gathered by the water. The surprised creatures tried in vain for too long to figure out what to do in this situation, and with the first rays of the sun, the guardians of the forest, among whose branches elven archers flashed, broke into the enemy camp, inflicting devastating losses and putting the few survivors to flight. Maddened with fear, the orcish crossbowmen, from just a few meters away, could not hit the tree-like creatures with flaming arrows, and soon paid for it with their lives. Among them was the only good warrior, an old and battle-hardened veteran, with a terrible scar across his face; his gaze reflected cold determination, and his steady hand never missed its target. He incinerated the cursed ents, sparing no one, but at the crucial moment, his comrades let the archer down, failing to hit a single one of the weakened soldiers of the elven army. Completely scattering the remnants of the unlucky orcish band, the inspired inhabitants of the forest kingdom drove the enemy troops back to the fortress, where the final battle took place. The barbarian commander himself led his demoralized army into the slaughter, and there he left his miserable life. The moral of this fable is: the outcome of a battle is often decided in its first minutes.
Heroist (Orcs) vs Ple-Sen (Elves) Winner: Ple-Sen (a good way to anger an elf is to start a fire in the forest)
Well, what can I say? It was a great game, very interesting and full of diverse events, a fragile balance that gave both sides some chances of victory until the very last moves, tactical rearrangements on three fronts, and brilliant multi-step strategies from the commanders of their armies. The map was also amusing, with a huge underground lake in the middle, where the opponent rushed his Nagas, although they didn't pose much of a threat, but constantly threatened several coastal villages, which was a bit annoying. There were mountains on the map, which could have given a decisive advantage, but the fact that the dwellings were located quite far from them, on the plains and swamps scattered around, played a role. This, perhaps, played a decisive role in the confrontation, as the short-statured, bearded warriors fell easily on the grass, and defending in the mountains only led to a prolonged siege and the loss of numerous mines, which seriously undermined the economy and affected the exchange rate of the dwarven currency. Nevertheless, the intrigue lasted almost until the very end, with the endless orcish troops drowning in their daring attempts to storm the impregnable peaks of the southern highlands, but somewhere the percentages played a role, somewhere the moves were not the most successful, somewhere a Griffin, close to leveling up, failed to finish off a wounded warrior and died from a retaliatory attack with a low chance of hitting, and then night fell. Overall, I am satisfied with my game; I think I made a minimal number of mistakes in all three tournaments, but the opponent turned out to be simply better on all fronts. Thank him for the exciting game. In general, we need more tournaments like this. Villains, I'm rooting for you!
Nevertheless, the suspense lasted almost until the very end, with the endless Orcish troops struggling in their bold attempts to storm the impregnable peaks of the southern highlands.
Thanks to Heroist as well; the random element really messed things up a few times, on both sides. Well, I guess that's normal. I liked the typical Schmentzi-style confrontation between Orcs and Dwarves.
Remaining games: Snowman vs. Dag Dag vs. Vishmaster Shaman vs. Vishmaster The player with the most beautiful avatar vs. Vishmaster Dubinkin vs. ZloDeist Nyasha vs. Dubinkin Bryuzga vs. Dubinkin
Dubinkin has a chance to get three wins. Heroist and Arandor are not participating from the group. The situation is more flexible among the heroes.
Dubinkin seems to have declined to participate in the tournament. In any case, he doesn't respond to messages in private, doesn't want to provide other means of communication, and I'm not going to keep waiting, asking, reminding, and begging his highness every time. Sorry.
I agree with Heroist. Although Mr. Dubinkin did respond to my private messages, it was inconvenient to coordinate with him in that way. And he ignored requests via VK/Skype as an alternative means of communication.
