Reports on victories and defeats in online games of Heroes of Might and Magic V.

:eek:

Primus (Gnomes, Ibba) loses to KillAhdAction (Orcs, Argath) 2-2-4 Labyrinth (very large, no underground).

Thanks for the game!

That's how it went. The game just didn't work out at all.:mad: Up to level 18, I never got a single tent, ballista, chaos, or light creature.:eek: You can't get far with education, luck, attack, and machines against an Orc. I really didn't want to meet my opponent early. But after breaking through another portal, I ended up near his main castle. On the next turn, Argath wiped out almost my entire army and fled.:( I was counting on getting stronger and accumulating resources while Kila gathered troops, but I only managed to gain two levels, upgrade developed chaos, and learn Meteor Shower. I was moving like a turtle compared to Argath!:( My opponent used astral gates to jump over many twilight dragons that were guarding the main castle. I had nothing left to do but fight through neutrals and buy an army. Of course, I didn't have much money, as I bought two artifacts - +3 to knowledge and +6 to spell power. So I had to fight only with warriors, spear masters, and priests. Before the final battle, I made a big mistake - I sold all my resources.:smile35: Because of this, I couldn't use them in battle, and the runes were great - berserker, ethereal, resurrection, battle rage. How could I have deprived myself of such help???:mad: My opponent probably wouldn't have taken my castle if he hadn't broken through the wall on his first turn. But even with that, I could have turned the tide with the runes! Thanks for the game.

P.S. I was level 20, not 19. The ballista and catapult were used only twice, not three. There was practically no one left to clear out your remaining troops, and there was no point in dragging cockroaches to build a new army, as my castle was too far away and all the nearby respawn points had been cleared. So I barely managed to gain two levels and headed home.;)
