Posts from Reports on online games and their confirmations (Winter 2008 season).

1 game: OUTLAW (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Sir Loi (red, Castle, Loinis, Loinis), 2-2-3, 2sm4d(3) Took one restart, the opponent didn't take any restarts at all. I got a FANTASTIC respawn (I don't remember when I last had one this good :eek:). I was just sitting there and praying :smile16: that the opponent wouldn't take a restart. Utopia in front of the Castle, 3 Hives, dwellings of all levels except for Dendroids, lots of artifacts and gold. Week 1 - task 1-6 in the Stronghold + Town Hall and upgrading outposts. Week 2 - clearing the respawn and secondary base - Necropolis, there I scouted a Hive, upgrade dwellings, and Naga Bank. Week 3 - clearing the Hives (28 Wyverns) and collecting artifacts. Week 4 on the secondary base. At the end of week 4, just in case, I buy back everyone in the Castle and !!!!! - the next week starts with a Plague :D. Week 5 - building 5 levels of magic - gives flight. I take out the Utopia (level 3): Sword +12, Shield +12, Sphere of Protection. I couldn't increase Wisdom for a long time :mad: - everything was increasing except for it. Without maxing out Wisdom, I gather everyone and go to the opponent. On day 217, after breaking through the Gate of the Elements, I ran away in the other direction, losing 2 days, but gaining a new increase and putting on the Sphere of Protection, I attack. Kirr, level 17, 19-20-10-3 // 2 Green Dragons, 32 Wyverns, 29 Unicorns, 55 Silver Pegasi, 58 Grand Griffins, 22 Gnomes, 67 Centaurs Loinis, level 12, 7-7-7-7 // 3 Angels, 82 Great Griffins, 34 Crusaders, 51 Archers, 10 Zealots, 52 Great Pikemen. Large stats and the army brought Kirr the victory. Thanks for the game. 2 game OUTLAW (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Sir Loi (blue, Castle, Loinis, Loinis), 1-4-6, 2sm4d(3). We both took a restart and started. I have a small central respawn, but with a dwelling for Pegasi and Dragons. On day 114 - secondary base Inferno, on day 117 - 1-6 with a Stronghold and Town Hall in the secondary base. In the second week, I break through to the adjacent respawn - Conflux. Week 3 - Capitol in the main base, Magistrate in Inferno, and 1-6 in Conflux (I was a little short on gold for Phoenixes). Before Conflux, there were 2 teleports leading to the opponent's main base, so I built a chain to Conflux and waited for the blue player to appear. In the middle of week 4, Loinis appeared, took Conflux, and started scouting the territory, destroying a couple of my weaker units. Kirr buys back the entire army and reaches Conflux two days later, and attacks the main blue Castle the next day. Kirr, level 11, 6-9-7-5 // 2 Green Dragons, 11 Unicorns, 19 Dendroids, 52 Silver Pegasi, 34 Grand Griffins, 56 Gnomes, 72 Centaurs Loinis, level 15, 6-2-10-9 // 3 Angels, 5 Cavaliers, 20 Griffins, 19 Crusaders, 34 Archers, 45 Pikemen, 2 Gnomes. While waiting for a breach in the wall, Loinis thinned out my army with towers and magic, but the walls fell, and Kirr won. Thanks for the game :smile01:

Game 1:
OUTLAW (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Sir Loi (red, Castle, Loinis, Loinis), 2-2-3, 2sm4d(3)

I confirm both games; everything is detailed – many things become clear in this life. :)

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Ivor) def loi (Blue, Castle, Loynis) 2sm4d3, 2.1.7.

We played in SoD.

On 1.1.4, I took Tower as a secondary town.
In Rampart - Unicorns in the castle.
On the second week, I visited the maximum Medusa dwelling, painted the external dwelling of Unicorns.
On 1.2.4, I took Fortress as a secondary town, built Wyverns in it with a Citadel.
On 1.3.4, I took Tower as a secondary town, 3 Medusa dwellings, 1 Naga Bank (maximum), built Green Dragons.
On the 4th week, I painted a second, suddenly discovered, external dwelling of Unicorns, took a shield attack\defense +3, a Conservatory (minimum), a Cyclops dwelling (maximum), a Hive for 8 Wyverns.
I noticed, on the 4th week, that my opponent's stats jumped (must have found a Dragon Utopia), became higher than mine, and started preparing for a campaign.
By the final battle, from skills I fully leveled Earth Magic, Offense, Logistics, and Wisdom. Advanced skills left were Archery, Tactics, and Morale.
In the castle, on the 4th floor, I got Town Portal.
I broke through a GO in the form of 50-99 Greater Psychos and 50-99 Greater Unicorns.
I positioned myself near the opponent's secondary town. The opponent's main hero went into the fog of war. Meanwhile, I took an empty secondary town and an empty Main castle.
I randomly scouted downwards with a scout, turned out I guessed correctly — the opponent's main hero was taking a Conservatory.
With Ivor, I Town Portaled to the opponent's secondary town, and went to chase. After about 2 turns, I caught up and attacked.

My army: 5 Gold Dragons, 1 Angel, 31 Battle Unicorns, 21 Wyvern Monarchs, 33 Silver Pegasi, 75 Grand Elves, 157 Centaur Captains. My main hero's stats: 14-12-6-6.

Opponent's army: 5 Angels, 16 Champions, 21 Fanatics, 43 Crusaders, 61 Heavy Crossbowmen.
Loynis's stats: 18-5-7-14.

The opponent fought bravely, but fell on the battlefield.

Thank you to the opponent for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Ivor) def loi (Blue, Castle, Loins) 2sm4d3, 2.1.7.

Confirmed. Once again, I couldn't get Archangels to work while playing as a Cleric, and neither I nor my opponent could find any mines other than wood and ore - although I was looking quite deliberately. I suspect that, besides my inexperience, the game is geared more towards melee combat than magic under these conditions. Although, I repeat, I don't have enough experience to say for sure. Respect to my opponent for the clear gameplay and post-game analysis.

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) def loi (Red, Castle, Loins) 2sm4d3, 2.1.1.

Played in SoD.

On turn 1, I captured the external dwelling of Pegasi. No other one's own external dwellings were scouted.
At 1.1.6., my own secondary site, where I built up Elves in the Stronghold.
During week 1, I built up Unicorns at the Castle in my home area.
During week 2, little was accomplished.
During week 3, I built up Greens; as Ivor, I encountered the opponent's scout and took a second secondary site (castle).
During week 4, I went to where the opponent had come from, taking a "can" two-stack on the way, and a pre-minimal dwarf dwelling.
At the end of week 4, I took the opponent's Main Castle, and set off as Ivor to find his father, who had gone into the marshy area.
At 2.1.1., news of surrender arrives.

Thanks to the opponent for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) def loi (Red, Castle, Loins) 2sm4d3, 2.1.1.

Confirmed. Considering the previous games, I tried to accelerate development – the cleric overextended and was defeated three times on neutral territories. We'll learn from this. Thank you for the game.

DarkMind (red, Dungeon, Shakti) def SS-D (blue, elves, Ivor) 2sm4d3, 1.4.7
We played in platinum. The game turned out fairly ordinary, with the internet periodically disappearing. In the first week, after scouring my territory, the only interesting things I found were my native secondary hero and an external dwelling with medusas, so I decided to build up my economy first. By day 122, I already had a capitol in my main town. Then I went out into the field, captured a second secondary town (Inferno). On the way back, I almost caught Ivor, but I still managed to reach my castle before him (Scorpicores and Minotaurs were already waiting there). The enemy didn't risk attacking the castle and ran away; then I went out, looted a Naga bank. During this time, Ivor snuck back in (apparently he didn't see how close I was). In the end, we fought on Dungeon territory.
Shakti: 10 Scorpicores, 13 Minotaur Kings, 50 each of Medusas and Eyes, 40 Harpies, and 180 Troglodytes
Ivor: 2 Angels, 14 Unicorns, 35 Silver Pegasi, 35 Centaurs, 2 Dwarves, 60 Grand Elves, 30 Dendroid Soldiers
The armies were close in strength, but I had the advantage in archers and speed, so winning was a matter of technique. I made a slight blunder in the fight :D and lost all my Scorpicores. Still, I had enough army left to finish off my opponent, and considering he had an income of 3000 per day against my 7000, continuing was pointless, so the enemy surrendered :)

DarkMind (red, Dungeon, Shafts) def SS-D (blue, Elves, Ivor) 2sm4d3, 1.4.7
We played in Platinum. The game was quite ordinary, and the internet connection kept dropping.

That's how it was; I lost, but I'm not very good at playing strategically.
I seem to be developing my skills, but when I make a mistake, it's game over.

vitalic (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def Sir SS-D (red, Tower, Neela, Labetha) 2SM4D(3) 144
On 113, after breaking through to 49 Evil Eyes, I went to the Inferno secondary town, but there were blocks further on and I only captured an ore mine. I turn my troops around, and now Bron breaks through to the Swamp secondary town, and again a block of up to 49 Grand Elves. Fortunately, I find a passage through the rough terrain, but I don't manage to capture the Swamp secondary on the first attempt. In my home town, I built 1-6 with a Castle. On the second, I gathered money and built up the economy, took a Naga Bank and a couple of Medusa Huts. On the third, I built Dragons and Shakti, instead of maxing out Earth Magic, takes Logistics. I regretted this the next turn, because my opponent almost reached my capital, and I had to fight up to 49 Power Liches. With Shakti on 141, stats are 9 8 4 5 (Earth only Advanced), 5 Cats, 5 Wyverns, 11 Harpies, 127 Pit Fiends, 19 Evil Eyes, 26 Lizardmen, 69 Gnolls — in short, a mixed bag, and the Troglodytes under a Bless only killed 4 Power Liches. The terrain wasn't bad, and 34 Power Liches, after chomping down Wyverns, Gnolls, and 45 Troglodytes, gave up the Red Orb. I am defeated and go into defense in my Castle; I don't manage to transfer troops in time, but I have decent gold, so I buy out whatever was there.
On 143, I myself attack Labetha; without magic she can't handle it, even though she has 22 Wyverns, 3 Angels, 12 Nagas, etc., but Shakti is a fighter and sweeps them all away!!!

Thanks for the game

vitalic (blue, Dungeon, Shacti) def Sir SS-D (red, Tower, Nella, Labetta) 2SM4D(3) 144

I won't repeat myself, I lost fairly and practically without a chance:smile42: :smile42: :smile42:. I'm not upset:smile35: :smile35: :smile35:.

salas(red,Dungeon,Das,Kreg Hack) def loi(blue,Castle,Loinis,Loinis), 1,237

Winter season

I developed for a very long time, but my opponent developed even longer, apparently.
I invaded his territory, taking castles, but I only met the main hero after 2 weeks.
In the main battle, my opponent had almost no one left, and I had to kill him without any losses.

Thank you for the game!

Winter season

I developed very slowly, but my opponent developed even slower, apparently.
I invaded his territory, capturing castles, but I only encountered him after 2 weeks.
In the main battle, my opponent had almost no units left, and I had to kill him without any losses.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game. In this game, I tried to focus on leveling up Loinis and quickly building up my guild. To do this, I searched for mines (besides ore and wood) - I found them in the swamps at the corners of the map. All of this took too long, resulting in the outcome.

Vigo (blue, Rampart, Kirr) def Loi (red, Castle, Loins) 2sm4d3 146

Started in the center. On the first turn, he encountered Necropolis units, built a defensive structure on his own territory, and scouted the path to the enemy through the wilderness. He built up a good defense, with cavalry and a castle. Then, he faced some financial difficulties, but through battles for every group of coins, he built a complete infrastructure. The opponent didn't have a good game.
Thanks for the game.

Vigo (blue, Rampart, Kirr) def Ioi (red, Castle, Loins) 2sm4d3 146

Confirmed. As far as I remember, this was the first game against Loins – the beginning of unrequited love.

DarkMind (red, Stronghold, Kreg Hack) def Izgoy767 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti).
We played on XL without dungeons. Everything went according to plan. By week 4, I already had 3 secondary towns and everything was built in my main town, except for the upgraded bears (of which I only had 3). Just in case, I bought them on day 7. As it turned out, it was a good decision - a month of plague appeared!
Therefore, instead of starting to take utopias, I went to "collect some Pandora boxes," and along the way, I cleared the passage through the teleport, which, as it turned out, leads directly to the blue player. I had to quickly eliminate the blue player. I must say, he didn't put up much resistance :).
Thank you for the game!
