Favorites, to Battle! - 9

It is time to hold another tournament in the "Favorites, to Battle!" series, which is so beloved on our site.

I. General questions.
1. Throughout the entire tournament, each participant plays as their chosen favorite race.
2. Game version SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod + HW_rules_mod patch. The latest stable version is current: ???
3. Bidding is used for the right to choose the Color.
4. The template choice is made by crossing out from a list of 11 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance (L-U, 130%), skirmish (200%), Anarchy (200%) Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, 8xm12a and Spider. The right to cross out a template first is determined by a coin toss. The player who "wins the coin" chooses who will cross out first.
By mutual agreement, playing on any other template is permitted. This matter must be discussed in advance with the tournament judges.
5. If two identical races meet in a match, the template is chosen from the list: 2SM4d(3), Balance (L-U, 130%), skirmish (200%), Anarchy (200%) Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, 8xm12a, Spider, mir_diamond and mir_h3dm1.
In this case, bidding is used for the right to choose the starting hero. Players take turns (first the one who won the bid for color, then their opponent) crossing out one undesirable hero from the full list of heroes; thereafter, players inform each other of the amount of gold they are willing to transfer to the opponent for the right of first choice among the remaining heroes. The one who bids the higher amount chooses the hero first and transfers the gold to the opponent.
On mir_diamond and mir_h3dm1 templates, each player has one subjective restart at 111.
6. Rules are standard.
The default timer is chess, with parameters as specified in the rules.
Mage Guild rebuild is ENABLED on all templates. There are NO restrictions on using the library.
Any changes to the game rules are permitted by mutual consent of the players, except for changing the Favorite Castle and the Fair Play rule.
Additional rules per template:
Mini-Nostalgia. The tournament participant who received the blue color as a result of bidding begins the selection of computer secondary castles.
Diamond. The participant who received the red color as a result of bidding removes the extra (ninth) castle. If favorite castles are identical, then first red removes one castle, then blue removes the second.
Anarchy Difficulty 200%. Color for the first generation is chosen by coin toss; upon a subjective restart - change of color. Played without the HW_rulez checkbox. When playing with identical castles, heroes are chosen by agreement; if no agreement can be reached - randomly.
Skirmish Difficulty 200%. Starting heroes and bonus - random, color for the first generation is chosen by coin toss; upon a subjective restart - change of color. Played without Mage Guild rebuild.

II. Organizational questions.
1. The tournament is official and regular.
2. Tournament goals:
- to play as the favorite castle and attempt to prove its strength,
- to gain valuable experience, improve one's level of play.
3. The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for organization, conduct, and participation in tournaments.
4. Players listed in the Blacklist and Penalty Bench are not eligible to participate in the tournament.
5. Tournament leaders and judges:
Tournament leader: Dirty_Player (ICQ: 408722873).
Tournament judges: Злой_романтик (ICQ: 296524052), skd (ICQ: 593626431), Diabler (ICQ: 360429834) , Dark (ICQ: 303751774)
If a disputed issue cannot be resolved independently, the judges will seek help from the AK.
The leader has the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament if necessary.
6. Maximum number of tournament participants - 128; if there are more than 128 applicants, qualification games will be held. The organizers reserve the right to refuse registration to any player without a public explanation of reasons.
7. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation in this thread, created automatically.
Saves of all matches must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented upon the first request of the tournament leader or any member of the AK.
8. Information on the progress of the tournament is updated as necessary and is located at the beginning of this thread.
9. All tournament games go into the seasonal rating. The list of tournament reports is also located at the beginning of this thread.
10. The tournament winner earns the right to participate in the "Final Battle 11" tournament
11. The tournament winner and players who took 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded Medals under their avatar:

Award authors: RAPER and ColdRain.

III. Deadlines.
All tournament participants must strictly adhere to the announced deadlines:
1. Immediately after the start of a stage or round, contact your opponent(s) for preliminary agreement on games. To agree means to reach an accord after negotiations and discussion. A proposal without a response will not be considered an agreement.
2. Temporary problems (with internet, travel, personal) must be reported to the tournament leaders.
3. Preferred time for tournament games is daytime (12-24 MSK) on weekends and evening (19-24 MSK) on weekdays. If a participant is unable to play at this time, the leader interprets the absence of a game result in favor of their opponent.

Registration - October 31 - November 24, 2016.
Approval of the participants list - November 24-25, 2016.
Draw - November 25, 2016. The draw will be conducted taking into account the declared castle and the participant's level of play based on results from other tournaments.

IV. Regulations.

We started playing with 1m and only one rest from the opponent. The start seemed very attractive: a Stable near the Castle within half a move; on the 2nd day, I spotted a dragon external dwelling, which ultimately decided the game to a large extent. Plus, a good Necropolis entered and caught Logu. Later it became clear that the layout was not as good as it first appeared. A one-way path and a very small super treasure on the swamp, which I didn't even visit. (After the game I checked; there was only 1 Hive and a mercury warehouse, nothing more :)
The Dragon Utopias were useless; things weren't going well with the upgrade for a long time. In the end, I had to stall, and since I also took Double, everything pointed toward the late game. I boosted my stats by running through upgrades, plus I was hoping for Mass Haste. There was no Magic Resistance. The opponent, on the contrary, had very strong magic, but against such an army advantage, it was hard to come up with anything. Thanks for the game.

The opponent had a large number of Necromancers, but I managed to outplay him thanks to the Necromancer artifacts I got early in the game. Nagibashka is carrying. Thanks for the game.

On the third week, I took two Dragon Utopia, which gave me wings, a blue cap, and some stats; after three attempts, there was no Town Portal yet. Using Dimension Door at different respawns, I kill the father on acceleration and the powerful one with artifacts on the same spot.
Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

I started playing because of two cons at the respawn, one of which was also a single unit; boxes with 5k gold behind the eyes, a cloak +2 speed behind the golden golems, and the hero selection was good: Alkin, Fyur, and Tiraxor. The only thing that worried me was that the opponent got a comp Castle, and on the way, a block of 50 gr. wolves. In the end, it turned out I was unlucky with the roads; it was about 5 days' travel to the teleport to the adjacent zone, and that's via fast roads, while in the adjacent zone the road hit a one-way path. Consequently, the tempo was slowed down. I took my first and only Dragon Utopia only on 134; I intended to take the second (which turned out to have КЗ), but on the way, I decided to take the opponent's Castle and the swamp comp. The opponent already had air control and covered me.
Thanks for the game)

thanks for the game!

The first month was a complete bore: no cons, no Dragon Fly Hives, and instead of a road to the center, there was a monolith exit. I took Inferno on day 114, switched to demons. My opponent had Tanth with 111, and I also necromanced a bit in the midgame. There was no control for a long time, and I never got Dimension Door. There were very few utopias, I only found 2 singles with crap.
Thanks for the game!

Tant with an Earth expert, 3 Angels, and 170+ skeletons was tearing everything apart; Valera was doing worse.
Thanks for the game.

Valera was doing more or less okay, but the terrible timer killed all desire to play. I sincerely don't understand what can be done with eight heroes in 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
Thanks for your time.

So, I played the 6lm10a template. I paid 1100 for Red, and he paid 500 for the hero, as before. We banned Gunnar and Shakti, so we started with -600. Both of us used all the restarts and played as is... I thought the game was lost when I saw he had Luna from the start and got Kyre in prison... But in week 2, I got Gunnar in the tavern and started to level him up ASAP... I was using my Necro comp, but there were no Necro heroes in the tavern... Shooters were everywhere, losing Trogls fast, but I managed to take the 1st Hive on week 2 with 6 Vyvs and headed to the Meat Orange... Orange, with all his troops up to level 6, attacked me, and I had to retreat, but since I had some army left from the main town and had mass Slow, I took the Conservatory with 2 Angels and headed to Orange again... So, I took Orange's town on day 124 (Flux), built birds on day 125, then built a Stronghold and a Castle... So, I started week 3 with 6 birds and 2 Angels, taking another Conservatory and 1 more Min Hive, and headed to take Topia 135. I got the Air book there. After that, I started to eat the map a lot... taking 2 more Topias, taking Vyv Dwels, etc... and headed to the opponent. I started to take his towns, and he sent me a message: GG...
