Posts from Reports on online games and their confirmations (Summer 2009 season).

All reports that are written and confirmed here will be taken into account in the rating table. I would like to draw the attention of all players to the fact that only games that meet the template will be counted!

It is MANDATORY to indicate the colors of the players, starting heroes, and heroes who became main heroes, the map, and the date the game ended:
vbn (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def invisible (blue, Inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.
The winner is listed first, followed by the loser. If desired, you can describe the match in more detail.

If a player chooses a random starting castle, the report header should look like this:
vbn (red, random, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def invisible (blue, random, Inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.

In case of choosing a random hero, the report should have the following form:
vbn (red, Dungeon, random, Shakti, Shakti) def invisible (blue, Inferno, random, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.
Good luck to everyone!

All reports that do not meet the above standards will NOT be taken into account in the rating!
Considering that many newcomers are playing, which may be difficult for them (although I personally think it won't be hard for them to learn two lines, as well as for seasoned players:)), if a report is written incorrectly, we will draw their attention to this by writing a post with a list of reports that need to be corrected.

FIRST REPORT OF THE SUMMER!!!!

FIRST REPORT OF THE SUMMER!!!! :D :D
SEM_56 (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Monstro_aka_h3 (red, Conf, random, Monere) 2SM4d(3), 145

111-117 start wasn't great, Ciele and Gelar are good mages at the start I broke the block to secondary right away but 50-99 wolves were standing on the road on the rocks and no mana, and behind them more... in short I took the secondary in week 2 the birds didn't make it 1-6 in the Citadel
121-127 financial difficulties lack of a good main damage hero as primary and not enough for the Castle - birds in the Citadel
131-137 Monere drops in - quickly levels up to level 9 expert logistics and earth magic by the end of the week 3 angels in conflux.
141-145 I repel the necklace+3 to everything, the die-35 necro grannies I see the opponent prepared for a rush, the most interesting thing is not to mess up, I sacrifice the main hero and buy back in the Castle, but with the scouts (there was Kyrre level 10) I got confused and while pondering the difficulty of the situation 4 minutes ran out Monere naked with 30 ice elementals in the Castle, the outcome is obvious. It's a shame, if I had moved correctly the scouts could have brought the army, and Monere had every chance to withstand the siege decently - slightly superior in parameters to Ivor although with fewer troops of course.
GG thanks for the game!

Alex_R (Red Tower Niella) draw Palach (Blue Swamp Tazar) 137 2sm4d(3)
On the first map 1-6, without the 5 in the Citadel + external dwellings 2 and 4. Secondary hero Barbarian with two external Goblin dwellings.
On the second map, with 90 goblins, I took the mini Medusa dwelling and captured the Shield of +6 defense from 40 Crusaders.
I wanted to rush until 131, since the passage was revealed and from day 3 I saw the approaches to the castle and an unbreeched Griffin Conservatory. But while crawling through the swamp, I lost tempo and increasingly realized that even a level 2 Griffin Conservatory would be hard to take, with no Slow, only Advanced Fire magic from spells, and even then without any fire attack spells, just Arrow and Bloodlust.
I revealed Tazar with decent stats and a buyback of Basilisks, Wyverns, Lizardmen, upgraded Serpent Flies, and some mana leech, while I only have Mages, Gremlins, Goblins, 6 Golems, and a single Gargoyle. Nagas are not bought at home.
I advanced a bit into his territory and revealed another Griffin Conservatory, which Tazar had just taken... I decided to evacuate, managed to eat the Dwarf Cottage, getting 30 with an upgraded stack, and breaking through the guard of his home Dragon Utopia; I evacuated troops with weak heroes via chain.
127 Niella at home in the Castle, again without Genies, all the money was spent on buying and transporting troops + heroes, and from 124 onward I practically didn't break anything and there was almost nothing left to collect.
I went to clear the native respawn, and Tazik goes and takes the second Griffin Conservatory. I take the Medusa dwelling and fight my way along the road to another secondary hero, where I revealed a Griffin Conservatory and freed Gervulf level 15, who took the native secondary dwelling and an external Genie dwelling, but didn't manage to take the Griffin Conservatory, Tazik was revealed on 136 on the run before the ГО.
I didn't have enough chain to transfer the army around, so I had to use weak heroes to break through to the capital through 2 strong blocks of 30+ Liches and 120 Air Elementals.
I lost about 50 Gremlins and 2 Nagas + singles.
But I managed to bring 7 Nagas, 110 Gremlins, 31 Mages, and 2 Genies into the capital, and Niella went in there. I bought Golems (got 27) and built the 4th floor, which gave me Meteor Shower and Berserk, but my magic is only Expert Fire, 4 spell power (3 of which are native), and only 22 mana.
Tazik flies over the ГО and attacks with 7-15-7-4 (48 mana) 7 Angels 8+1+1 upgraded Serpent Flies 10 Wyverns 16 Basilisks 35 Lizardmen.
Niella 5-12-4-4 (22 mana) 1+1+2 Master Genies 7 Nagas 110 Pointy Hats 31 Mages 27 Golems.
On Tactics, he approaches, casts Mass Slow, and halves the Mages (-16) with Angels, covering and weakening them and the Pointy Hats.
It's not rational to cast Berserk, and I only have enough for 1 cast, so I cast Mass Bloodlust and cast with Genies.
In the second round, almost all the Pointy Hats and 2 Genies died, but the Angels ended up near the Wyverns; I part my troops and cast Berserk.
The Angels somehow passed their turn, the Wyverns hit the Angels - got hit back; I sacrificed everyone I could, but the opponent heals the Angels both from life and from Berserk :(
6 mana left, I throw Arrow for 70 damage at the Angel, the situation is now in my favor.
2 Angels 8 Wyverns 35 Lizardmen (16 Basilisks got distracted walking through mines and didn't survive to round 4)
I have 23 Golems, 7 battered Nagas, 10 Mages, 1 Genie.
The opponent buys back and offers a mutual truce - and so we agreed.
Thanks for the game!

Blacpoint (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala) def ~no1_knows_me~ (red, Dungeon, Shakty) 142 2sm4d(3) Came in second, decided to level up Mephala. Made it to the secondary town, took some unique units there. At level 121, I got 10 unicorns, and at level 124, I trained 7 angels with 3 conscripts. Went to the desert treasure, wandered around until level 131 (got a nagabank there, +3 all, and something else). Then I cleared the underground treasure, got a lot of pandoras for experience and the Utopia, which gave +5 attack, +12/-2 wisdom/knowledge, and a book of air. Then I bought some stuff and jumped to the miner's town at level 141. He attacked me at level 142. The victory was mine.

SEM_56 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Mizrael (red, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Gunnisson) 2sm4d(3) 222
We took rests, the spawn was decent, though archers were not built, but by 113 I found 7 crypts around the castle!!!
111-117 took 6 crypts, in the metro secondary Inferno, 1,2,4, 6 in the Citadel!!
121-127 found a treasure zone, I take a Griffin Conservatory for an angel, nearby another Griffin Conservatory for 3, secondary Inferno. A treasure zone nearby, I take a unicorn stallion. The opponent appeared from the metro and takes the secondary. 1-6 in the castle...
131-137 Griffin Conservatory for 3 angels, I take my Inferno, no money for the angels to build them!!
141-147 I take the opponent's capital, buy out all the orcs there, I myself get wiped and go to the Dragon Utopia...
Behind the unicorn horde I take 2 Pandora's Boxes, for 5,000 experience and 10 stallions!!
Return the stallions to the castle, upgrade (luckily a black market near the castle)..
I take a shield +4 all for 32 champions, Dragon Utopia: Gladius, necklace of dragon teeth, breastplate +4 attack and defense. The opponent takes his capital back..
211-217 the secondary was taken again, I go there, took it. I take the opponent's capital. On 217 he takes my capital, WTF!!
221-222 I hit ГО with 24 Champions, Gunnisson stands on birds in front of my capital, I attack, he has Shackles of War!!
Thanks for the game, ambiguous though, we ran around a lot!!

SEM_56 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Mizrael (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 222

It happened. I won't describe anything; I was distracted in real life and pulled Gurnisson out of the castle without his power, and even with handcuffs :). Any battle in the castle would have favored the Barbarian (artillery + ballistics give the first cast), but things turned out as they did. Thanks for the game.

Blacpoint (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala) def ~no1_knows_me~ (red, Dungeon, Shakty) 142 2sm4d(3)

confirm
I constantly lack the time and money to buy everything. Hmm...

SEM_56 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Kash (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) 2sm4d(3), 215
We took rest, dealt very good!!!
Even though Shakti has only 2 stacks, there are 2 native heroes in the tavern. In front of the castle there are 2 minion caches, took one immediately, the second is behind a horde of ogres...
111-117 took 5 crypts, ended up with +20,000 at 117 (and spawned at the top, necro land, lost minimal Troglodytes)!!
Result 1-5 in the castle, plus a portal..
121-127 I sell 71 ogres, take the 2nd cache, beat 30 dogs, go into the portal, secondary conflict....
131-137 took 2 Griffin Conservatories for 3 angels in total, found a treasure zone, go there. Took 2 beehives, see 2 pandoras...
141-147 another 2 beehives, took 3 pandoras, revealed a Dragon Utopia. Take it at 144, gave minor stuff...
At 146 I attack ГО, take the reds' capital, and it turns out it's not the capital, golems in the Citadel!!!
211-215 Nella emerges, I get beaten in the main, she goes into the portal, then Dimension Door home. I go through the tower to visit...
In the FB, thanks to expert ballista and masochist, I immediately break the gate and fly into the castle. I block the grand units, hit the pegasi, in response an explosion for about 1,500. Then mass slow and victory is mine, thanks to Viktor for an interesting game!!!

Blacpoint (Red, Castle, Valya, Tazik) def wariator (blue, barb, Dessa, Gurnison) 142 2cm4d(3)

Tazik arrived, I leveled him. On the first week, I took 2 swamp secondary skills. The next 2 weeks I spent upgrading them. At my native respawn, I found 2 external dwellings of marksmen, which was very pleasing because Valya had come with a single stack of marksmen. And so it went. On day 141, I broke through a Guard Offering of ghost dragons, and on day 142, with reinforcements, I attacked Gruni in the castle. +100 marks took down everyone.

SEM_56 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Kash (red, Tower, Neela, Neela) 2sm4d(3), 215

Confirmed.
Experimented - dropped Tower, still can't play it, started building Rampart.
On the second one, somehow awkwardly scraped together 2+3 = 4 Angels, losing almost all the rest.
The third one I completely botched - 2 Griffin Conservatories for an Angel and a Dragon Utopia for a Keymaster - we were done for.
On the fourth, kind of came back to life a bit, wandered around for Treasures very, very late - swamp and snow...
And the Dragon Utopia I only found on the fifth, and even then it was a piddly one.
Gave up and went home, waiting for Shakti.
But otherwise it was fun.
Thanks to Roma for the game.

Next comes the mass low and victory is mine

Don't exaggerate - I held on until nothing but holes were left of the walls :)

Blacpoint (Red, Castle, Valya, Tazik) def wariator (Blue, Barbarian, Dessa, Gurnison) 142 2cm4d(3)

That's how it all went! Thanks for the game!

Wlk777 (Blue, Barb, Gurni, Gurni) Def Oelm(red, Inferno, Pir, Pir) 2sm4d(3), 143
A lucky game, was lucky almost the entire match; gave away one road on ГО, wanted to take rest but got lured by boots of speed (after a horde of water elementals, actually, but still), on the first external dwelling with birds, zero money, no talk of bears. On the second, started from stables, went underground, there were plenty of cans, at 133 12 angels, gloves+boots+ exp log, I catch Pir, he buys his way out on tactics, I take the double Dragon Utopia (complete trash—sphere of vulnerability, helmet +12 to knowledge). Out of frustration, I go to the opponent's respawn, take all his towns and in the end catch him without mana in the Castle, the opponent surrenders without a fight. Thanks for the game.

Wlk777 (Blue, Barb, Gurney, Gurney) Def Oelm(Red, Inferno, Pyr, Pyr) 2sm4d(3), 143

The MOST ANNOYING defeat since losing to Britva. At first a difficult start, the army quickly left, but I was lucky that I broke the wood on the way to the Necro secondary. By week 1 day 5 I controlled 3 castles - 2 adjacent. Well, in short, I thought Valentin wouldn't make it. I colored an external dwelling of ogres, 2 wolf riders, 1 goblins. Taking my time preparing for Demonology, Pyrrha and Kirra are strolling along the respawns, occasionally looking into the treasure zone. On day 1 month 3 week 2 I upgrade demons, since the only buildings taken are 2 small Dwarf Cottages. Then my opponent writes to me in ICQ that he's ready to take a Dragon Utopia. I get tense — could the free stuff really have come through? From that moment on, I played extremely cautiously. Already scouted three Dragon Utopias, one with 1-2 black dragons. I want to start with that one. On day 1 month 3 week 4, somewhere the opponent appears: 12 angels, 16 Wyverns, birds, stats are worse, but my army is much smaller. I snatch the Griffin Conservatory from under his nose, a chest for 15000, and buy myself out through tactics. He takes my scouted Dragon Utopia((.

I myself head to the upper Dragon Utopia. On day 1 month 3 week 7 I'm at it. Day 1 month 4 week 1 — Gurney, having covered an immense distance, captures the main. Surprise! Clearly there's not just log there) I buy up in the Barbarian castle, 60+ demons. I check — maximum level. I come out of it with 55 demons and 1 angel (-17 Wyverns, 2 angels, ogres). Mana only for Clone and Stone Skin, since I left 12 for a possible Town Portal. The reward was good, +3 to everything, Book of Air, red orb. I start confusing the opponent with my movements. He makes a mistake, and I capture the Barbarian castle, replenish mana. And then the decisive mega-mistake. In the Necromancer castle, Caitlin fought off a scout hero, and nearby were gnolls that Gurney would obviously crash into. But I didn't destroy them — no Dimension Door. After the game I checked: if I had killed the gnolls, Gurney (with Log boots, stables, gloves) would have been exactly two hexes short of reaching me. And then in 2 turns I would take two Dragon Utopias that gave SUCH rewards that it would hardly help Valentin anymore. Attack and Defense -33. More than 500 mana, all magic books)). And I couldn't be caught back then. But as it turned out, they caught me in the castle without mana. Thanks!

SEM_56 (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def ~no1_knows_me~ (blue, Rampart, Mephana, Mephana) 2sm4d(3), 212
Had a good run, tons of gold!!
111-117 appeared on top, only 2 stacks. Break through to the underground through 16 Dendroids and 18 Basiliscs, with only 104 Troglodytes (lost some in the max crypt), secondary skill Necromancy at 115..
121-127 Dwarf Cottage at 100, Arena, revealed the path to the treasure zone. Near the castle there are 3 Griffin Conservatories, I go there, 1-6 in the castle...
I take the max Dwarf Cottage, hit a block with 84 Flies and at 127 I take the Minotaur Nix...
131-137 took 3 Griffin Conservatories +1+3+3 Angels, max Dwarf Cottage, another Conservatory with 3 Angels..
141-147 took 3 Hives +24 Wyverns, a couple of Pandora's Boxes, another Conservatory with 3 Angels. I break my way home...
211-212 I hit the GO, run to the opponent's capital. In front of the castle, Mephala with all her company. I put on the Shackles and attack; the opponent's stats are higher, but no Mass Magic, and I have Slow and Haste. Thanks for the game!!!
