I just didn't have the strength to attack earlier, so I was running around until I got stronger. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks for the game.

23.10.10 Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (random, random, Conflux, Labetha, Pyre) def Smazzo (blue, random, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 211 2sm4d(3)
(Smazzo nickname was in the game and in Hamachi, Mazvitek in ICQ, he never bothered to tell me his forum nickname..)
Pyre in the tavern, on turn 1 I see +4 Attack for 20+ Thieves, +6 Defense for 20+ Pegasi. Can't complain about that. On turn 2 I reveal a water shrine, 2 air and 1 earth. Oh, there will be a lot of mana.. There's another water shrine, but a bit far. Pyre gets Armorer and Earth Magic. At the end of turn 1 I find another earth shrine. Heavy losses – I break everything in a row with Rogues just to get 1-6 in the Citadel. Day 7 – a treasure chest gives Cherry Bow, Pus aren't installed… Money situation is a complete screwup. Half the shrines remain full. Opponent shows off Bears.. )
Turn 2, ГО turns into 100+ cycles, so it's no big deal if anything. I scrape together 43 Storm Elementals somehow, after exchanging a bunch of resources. I take Medusa 4 and Miner Gnome.. ( Money situation is totally impossible again. I risk not only not getting Birds again, but maybe even being without a Castle. On turn 126 stats are already 11-11-3-2 )) Turn 127 is very fruitful. I break through to the secondary town through a block of 90 Earth Elementals guarding the Light spells and !Armageddon. (Storm Elementals really make the difference though, stacks of 15 were killing them in one go) I take the secondary town, put everyone in the garrison, didn't get spotted again.. :) That was basically the plan. Marketplace is built, by that point I had gathered 5k, so the Castle gets built. I start exchanging, and the Birds finally go up, which is incredibly satisfying. )) On turn 131, Dessa in the tavern is 4-2-5-5, nothing to worry about yet. ) Where to find money to buy god knows how many troops.. ) I still need Magma Elementals and Birds, to accumulate spell power, and then whoopee )) I can break ГО. I also really need to build a guild though.. Turn 135 stats are 11-16-4-4, I break through a horde of Air Elementals near the Castle. On turn 141 I reach a fork to the treasure zone or to the opponent. I take a spotter, see a lot of good stuff there, decide to go there first, to be sure. Half the population is languishing in the Castle. I plan to take the Dragon Utopia to buy everything. Guardian Shield is ahead of the minotaurs. The Dragon Utopia is certainly something, not for my stats, and I would have been left lying there (9 Birds, 7 Pacified, 63 Storms, 5 Elves, 7 Magmas). I retreat home. Holy crap, the 60k from the Dragon Utopia isn't enough for the entire population…
I take Birds, finish building the 4th guild, and go for cycles with Armageddon. They fall almost immediately from 17 spell power ) After them, 5 Rust Dragons. At the end of turn 147, Hive 12. On turn 211, the opponent's capital falls. Or rather, complete disregard on his part, in the game and in ICQ.. I waited ten minutes, (censored), and quit. Thanks for the game.. It turned out interesting after all ) Even if the report doesn't get confirmed.

23.10.2010, Zadira (blue, Tavern, Neela, Neela) Def(KILL) wowa (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) Jebus Cross 147

We decided to finish the elimination, but I figured I'd report it here anyway; we agreed no rests.

111 I reveal 2 Titan external dwellings and 1 Naga, but a block of Grand Elves and lots of Orc Chieftains leave no room to maneuver; I had to lose a significant part of my army to take the green zones, 6 heroes, I see no worthy replacement for Neela.
112-116 I open up the entire respawn, totaling 3 Griffin Conservatories, 3 Chapels, and another Naga external dwelling, just no Dragon Utopia; I take a Barbarian secondary and start beating up bears there to make someone sweat)) and immediately disband, buy Neela at home, transfer troops from the 3 Chapels..
117 I clear the Titan and Naga external dwellings and buy them, head to GO, don't care who's there, I'll take anyone down.
121 Titan upgrade, chain to GO, GO with 3 choices, I wipe out 19 Chaos Hydras without losses, see a Pandora's Box with lots of bear creatures, pass it by.
122 Air scout and head where there are more stars, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and nothing else of note, Sphere of Inhibition for 40 Grand Titans and other delights not for mere mortals.
123 I see Kyrre already has almost everything at 30 while my Neela is 5 5 5 5))))
124-127 I find nothing worthwhile, think it's a dead end, but Kyrre just keeps growing!
131 Finally reveal a Dragon Utopia, take it; aside from the Book of Air

Moderated: VULGAR LANGUAGE in the message

there's nothing, but it's easier on the sand with DD now.
132-134 I open another 5 Dragon Utopias)))) physical stats only got to about 20 but magic was AWESOME)) collected Titan's Thunder, but didn't combine all parts, since the Sword of Justice was there.
135-147 Empty running around the map; on 145 Kyrre attacks with stats 42 28 18 16 with his bandits against Neela's 18 19 39 28; I hit with implosion twice on 18 Titans each, my resistance triggered)) Boots + Cloak)) but my implosion sent everyone to hell without mercy :smile51: in the end with 20 dragons Waldemar retreats.
146 Vovan doesn't give up and says that was just the appetizer, now get ready)) it was clear that the only thing that could save him was the Red Ball, which was in the center of the treasure zone; I went straight for it.
147 I beat 40 Grand Titans, grab the ball, free a level 30 scout hero with expert Ballistics, give him a Ballista and 1 Titan via Literacy, and at the castle a couple of turns from the ball I smash Kyrre with a scout having 1 Silver Pegasus, who didn't manage to grab that ball in time)) if not for Ballistics I wouldn't have taken him out yet, but the calculation was as cold as Syktyvkar's nighttime doorways)

Thanks to Vovan for the game!

10/19/10 mals (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Ghostaxe (blue, Castle Caitlin) 2sm4d(3), 126.
In week 2, I gathered 6 angels, 4 devils, broke through the Gate of the Month, reached the opponent, and took the castle. The opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game and the time.

Thank you for the lesson, a great example of how to play!

23.10.2010 Kluka (red, Castle, Caitlin, Xi) def Mar (blue, Conflux, random, Brissa, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 134

Another game as Necromancer.
First mini-Con: in the first round, griffins pounced on archers in 1 stack, pecking half of them to death. Then, with Base Defense-2, the fat stack of pikemen (41 units) never got a turn, wasting about 5 consecutive activations (until they were devoured).
Second one: +1 angel, Griffin Conservatory 3, shield +6, external dwelling of horses in the treasure zone. I saw a Dragon Utopia there, but nothing to take it with yet (200 skeletons); later it turned out it was behind a colored guard anyway. I overthought things and failed to break through the GO at 127, so I calmly replenished mana at 131 and broke the GO at 133 (101 greater pit fiends). Fought poorly, lost 1 angel and 1 horse :(

Opponent had an unconquered Conservatory at their respawn (turned out to be mini as well). Opponent meets the Necromancer with a scout in a Castle with 6 birds, which are wiped out by bolt and 5 angels.

Thanks for the game!

23.10.2010 Kluka (red, Castle, Kaitlin, Xi) def Mar (blue, Conflux, random, Brissa, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 134

Another Necromancer game.
On the first mini Griffin Conservatory: in the first round, griffins rushed at the archers in 1 stack, pecked half of them to death. Then, at Battle Dwarves-2, a fat stack of pikemen (41 units) never got a turn, failing moral about 5 times in a row (until it was devoured).
On the second +1 angel, Griffin Conservatory level 3, shield+6, external dwelling of horses in the treasure zone. I saw a Dragon Utopia there, but didn't have anything to take it with yet (skeleton count 200). Later it turned out it was behind a colored guard anyway. I overthought something and didn't manage to break GO on 127, so I calmly refilled mana on 131 and broke GO on 133 (101 growth pits). I fought poorly, lost 1 angel and 1 horse :(

The opponent had an unclaimed Griffin Conservatory at their respawn (turned out to be mini as well). The opponent meets the Necromancer with a scout in the Castle with 6 birds, which are taken out by a bolt and 5 angels.

Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. On week 1, I was 700 gold short of placing the Birds. ((( Ended up 1-6 in the citadel. Week 2. I broke into a secondary Tower, where I picked up 2 mini crypts, a couple of treasure chests, and piles of gold. Result: Birds in the Castle. Week 3. I see the opponent already sitting at the starting line, hmm... but there's no gold. ((( Unlucky with the respawn.

Thanks for the game.

23/10/2010 Tovariщ(Red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def Wlk777(Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 136
3 stacks arrived, next to an external dwelling of hydras behind 20+ liches and one road is blocked by 20-49 golden golems for a +5 hat and resources. On day 3 I upgrade lizards and take 20 dwarves with Grand Elves, then a secondary Necropolis and break through into the treasure zone. 1-6 at the Citadel. A +4 Shield, Medusa dwelling, secondary Rampart. I break through the golden golems, turned out to be a native secondary, at home I added hydras and took the external dwelling. On the third I clear the treasure zone without Mass Slow (Earth Expert), then another one. Then Kyrre appears and finishes clearing my treasure zone, after which she surrenders. Thanks for the game!

23/10/2010 Tovariщ(Red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def Wlk777(Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2sm4d(3) 136

It happened. One of my available treasures suffered the fate of the "Titanic" (it sank), so instead of reaching the treasure as planned, I ended up in a dead end – a two-way monolith wasn't working. While I was looking for another opponent, they had almost cleared it out – there was no point in continuing. Thanks for the game.

23.10.2010 KillerVampire (blue, Dungeon, Shahti, Shahti) def Mar (red, Barbarian, Crag Hag, Crag Hag) 2sm4d(3) 131

Confirmed. Likewise.

FAVorite (red, Necropolis, Galtran) def Vasutka (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) 2cm4d(3) 122 SOD
At the beginning of the second week, Shakti rushed in with Trogols... but realizing that Goshi's stats were higher and there were more skeletons, he surrendered. Thanks for the game.

I CONFIRM, FAVorite will no longer play Necropolis; the advantage is too great.

24.10.2010 Kluka (red, Conflux, random, Moon, Moon) def Legionerdv (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) 2sm4d(3) 131

The game started on slow roads with a Guild of Outcasts on rough terrain, and a stable.

In the first round, I built a secondary Castle, as I had little money, and started upgrading from level 1 to 5 in a Fortress. ))
In the second round, I built a GM2 (air and water bolts) and started looking for an opponent. On day 125, I found Gosha with 16 vampires and 150 skeletons, and retreated home to replenish mana (I should have visited a well to save mana). On day 126, I used a scout with an arrow to deal -8 damage to Gosha's vampires; on day 127, I attacked with Moon. I cast bolts on the vampires and skeletons, and Gosha, with 100+ skeletons, offered a tribute.
With the tribute, I built some Psychics. ))
On day 131, I attacked Gosha in his capital; the opponent hid behind the walls, for which he received a gate lock and a barrage of bolts.

Thanks for the game!
