It's high time to schedule all group stages. The abstract timeframe of "2 weeks per game," where one player plays one game, while the other might play all their games, only prolongs the group stage. Moreover, those who don't play their games quickly might end up arranging draws that suit them in the tournament standings. Such shenanigans happened, for example, in Favorites-6. It's much more convenient to create a schedule with one specific game in the group between player A and B, and C and D, lasting for 2 weeks. After two weeks, a new schedule is created for the next round. This way, you can penalize those who play poorly, and if there are, for example, 5 rounds in the group, the group stage will take 10 weeks without any extensions. Otherwise, in almost all tournaments with groups, the group stage has to be extended.

Thanks for the game!

What if both players want to pay 500 for new Towns? We need to regulate who starts saying if he wants new Towns or not.

Opponnet came forward at 127 without a full army and was punished with new troops and shackles. TFP.

Bought a rampart for 3700 and sold a color for 1200. Difficult generation both in terms of blocks and money. The computer had 2 blocks of 100 marks on grass. Lucky with conservatories and Mullich who took them without problems. By week 3 I gathered 17 angels and broke 3 Dragon Utopias. But they didn't give anything decent. Ran straight to the opponent with 17 angels and 8 firebirds. Opponent doesn't leave the main castle, having a chain with a booster. Didn't dare to attack. Went to pick up Dragon Utopias in front of the opponent, where they gave КВ and КО. Decided to keep farming. On my turn, the opponent attacks with -2 marauders and dies with no chance for him. Thanks for the game.

Bought a color and a Castle for 1500.

The map is large and rich, but there are no hidden spots, so I had to switch to Moandar. On day 116, Moandar has 4 6 4 8 – 200 skeletons + 10 orcs + 2 birds, oil shield, but 0 mana. Against Bron 3 6 without a book, 21 lizards, 50 gnolls, 9 vasas, 3 pitohrs. If I had mana, it would have been an easy win, but as it was, I had to retreat, and I used strategic diplomacy (I took advantage when he was distracted by a fake attack on my Castle :D).
Naturally, I had 0 money, the bears didn't stand up, the opponent regrouped and went about his business. Then I constantly pressured the opponent by keeping a chain of units on his village. There were many battles with fake attacks, and a lot of money was wasted. Only on day 135 did I start building a Grand Mage, but the troops were weak. I had few troops, but I had explored half of the map, including capitals and resource locations. On day 137, Titans + Death Dragons appeared. And the carousel began, conscripts, clues, I captured the Necropolis, converted a lot of resources, and took castles from the opponent. Seeing all this, the opponent surrendered on day 143. There were no logs, and I only had 1 Death Dragon under control.

Thank you for the game.
