Reports on online games and their confirmations (Winter 2009-10 season).

Happy New Year to everyone!!!))))

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def wowa (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.5

I confirm))

My opponent immediately took 2 res, I had everything fine, but immediately either 4 or 5 roads, but no conservatories, no caches, i.e. nothing to do at the respawn, and running forward meant risking the res on an encounter and time
I took 113, for which I was punished:
111 underground, 3 stacks, their upgrade, Dwarf Cottage 15, +1000 exp, 5 heroes
112 Evil Eye, the only road up to the ГО, reluctantly I beat a horde of golems for a beehive, 6 heroes
113 Medusas, through the beehive in transit to Pandora's Box for a Log of Magma, 5K exp there, immediately a Naga Bank: a Miner of 9th(!!!) level – Earth, Log, Armor :) Luna under the castle with Evil Eyes, Medusas, and the remnants of her starting army beats a horde of wolves at the lift, above is a horde of Magogs
114 Luna uses the remnants of her mana to beat the guards of the Imp dwelling and without mana – clears it (20 each, if there were more, not a fact that she would have taken it, now 5 Mercury!))) Labetha with the purse from the Miner defends a log, which makes things a total mess: in the native there are now cats, everything is bought up and carted to the Miner in the beehive: +8 geese minus cat and Medusas, the Evil Eyes survived: they were hitting Troglodytes at the end :( but 10th level! :)
115 Miner runs empty to the Magogs, Labetha tries to break through to the logs (the log mine got twisted so that I couldn't recapture it until the end of the game)) the rest form a chain between them
116 Miner is above! winter :(
117 through a crypt in the snow (all 3 there later turned out to be minimal)) we see beyond the mountains a fort-tower and a piece of road, we start to bypass from below
week: cats in the castle with mushrooms
2nd week – the complete opposite of the 1st
122 – we ran to it: a log mine, a dead end! :D (actually, the far log was blocking the exit to the light diagonally! but to see that, we had to take more steps in the snow – and at that time Way had already run away above the mountains from above – I think he'll find the passage, and Miner will sit a night in the tavern)))
123 Miner through the crypt (by tradition min.)) returns the purse and breaks through with the remaining moves, a chain from the lift and from the snow to Way
124 mountains rise in front of Way with an army – to bypass, that means moving away from the support tower who knows how far, so Miner only buys out at home, spell book, upgrade of Harpies, the chain bends back to the base
125 we run through the scorched earth, in the castle we buy an extra freebie so the chain makes it, even though there was a gold strain all week due to doing nothing
126 through Miner the army is transferred to the collector, and – hurray!!! – the secondary finally
127 – and finally into battle: 9 Chaos Hydras in 7 stacks for 2 boxes (there is a scroll of Word, but Earth is only advanced – nothing leveled up in a week) then already with oil dogs for a shield +4, while also running into this treasure zone, I didn't touch the roadside lift to avoid being spotted – by these deadlines ГО should already be beaten anyway)))) but all the time after that I sat under the threat of cutting off my supply line, which at the very last moment happened ;)
3rd week: treasure zone is stale – no Dragon Fly Hives, no conservatories, no caches, of which there hasn't been a single one so far, and I haven't seen any! mana is running out – I decide to leave already, but black rags guard a Torso +4 to magic – I attack: 6 by 27, can't crush immediately, the rest of the mana goes to waste – and immediately above – a horde of logs for a shield all by 4! I go in without geese with singles, cats, Evil Eyes and Troglodytes – and the logs are upgraded (hard to tell by sight ;))) speed 4, not 3, the trick doesn't work, a wall came at me :D but I crawled out with over a hundred Troglodytes
dispersal for mana, I build as many as 2 chains there: from the treasure zone and from home :) because of this, nothing arrives the next turn, but Miner is near the lift up into the treasure zone, and the chains are just right for him
but then as usual Kyrre appears and breaks 2 links! Miner's only road now is through the snowdrifts via the conservatory found by the noobs to look for another treasure zone, another dispersal
a kamikaze Labetha with the remnants of Troglodytes and geese runs into Kyrre's rear – the task is to distract Kyrre with the purse to the kill: he saw the utopia, but not the barrier to it – let him trample around for a couple more days)))
and so it happened, week 4: Miner took a level-2 conservatory and emerged onto the grass – only it looks like not enough for a treasure zone :( I run to the red mine, and already want to surrender – the bugged snows even have an exit through off-road to both starting respawns!!! but I see Kyrre heading for my capital – even if there's a chain there, he probably broke away, and there shouldn't be enough moves for transfer-dispersal-reach – so let's tickle his rear while he pulls his army out of my thickets ;) but the path through the Necropolis turned out not long, but short through the left lift and everything was enough – GG, thanks to the opponent for the game :)

conclusions: if you find the only road to the ГО on an SM for 3 days – give a free res according to the rules (on the portal the deadlines are longer, but imho not worth it)))
