That's how it went... I didn't have time to bring in reinforcements, and there were 2 days left until the Dragon Utopia...

invisible (red, Stronghold, Craig, Craig) def Outcast767 (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Moner) 244 2sm4d(3)
The respawn was very poor; moreover, they forgot to add crystals. Therefore, during the first week, there were only birds in the Stronghold, but I managed to break through to the grass-Rampart with three external dwellings of elves :eek: On the second week, on day 7, I was slightly short for bears; I traded on the market and accidentally built a capitol instead :). Total disaster, but I'm not too upset since I already had 80 grands. I went into the treasury, gathered 14 wyverns there, and took the Dragon Utopia. At the beginning of the second month, I broke through ГО and headed toward the opponent's Castle. Upon attacking the castle, I was slightly surprised by the opponent's 8 angels, 18 horses, and 45 monks. I paid them off with 45 orcs, leaving the opponent with 9 horses. I immediately ran into an unbroken passage, hit a Dungeon secondary site, next to which was a conserve. I took it and, not knowing where else to run, went into an adjacent treasury that I had already visited, but there was some dark space; entering it, I was shocked. Next to the Dragon Utopia I had already taken, there were three more :eek:. One maxed out; I left it for later because I have no idea how to take it with weekly growth. In short, I took all of this and went to the opponent to surprise them with my collection of artifacts, which I already had in abundance. In the finale, they had no chance, as an explosion immediately killed 11 of Dima's angels; my angels blocked the gates, and while everyone started climbing out through the breach (30 horses and 80 crusaders), the next explosion + my 130 grands with 80 orcs and a golden bow killed them all. The autopsy showed a fairytale respawn for the opponent with external dwellings of all levels, including an angel external dwelling and their own secondary site, but he was unlucky with the Dragon Utopias.
Thanks for the game! You surprised me with the amount of meat, and if Dima had found the Dragon Utopias, everything could have been different, as about a third of all his troops had been bought out, and his native secondary site was built up to horses.

That's exactly how it happened! He didn't go in the direction of the Dragon Utopia, plus he got wiped at 116 while pushing through to the secondary on mummies.
Thanks for the game.

vbn (blue, conflux, random=Kalt, Crag Hack) def Outcast (red, inferno, Pyre, Pyre) 2-1-5 2SM4d(3)

Respawn was poor for grass, but we attracted boots under a horde of halflings and a library under a horde of earth elementals.

On the first week - psychos without a citadel (played poorly).
On the second week - lost all 4 psychos (played even worse).
But I still managed to build a castle on 1-2-7, buy back the lost Crag Hack, and miraculously build chicks (resources left at 0).

On 2-1-4 Crag Hack broke through the ГО (horde of champions), took the utopia with 14 chicks and 9 angels (got boots +2, diplomat's ring, and captain's hat).

On 1-2-5 Crag 21-14-10-11 defeats Pyre level 10 9-11-6-6.

Thanks for the game.

and here I confirm my defeat!

vbn (blue, Swamp, Tazar) def invisible (red, Swamp, Alkin) 2SM4d(3) 1-3-3. Rules - standard, except for castle selection (random). Tazar couldn't stand the fact that Alkin had access to the Utopian realm, boots under a horde of Dryads, and a chest with a +4 shield, and decided to take all of this first. But Alkin, although closer to the Utopian realm, didn't see all of this. Instead, he saw something else. On 1-3-2, Tazar didn't reach the Cloak of +2 speed, which was under a swarm of Flies, by one square. Of course, Alkin took it, but didn't touch Tazar. Then, the next day, Tazar ate the chest with experience and gained Expert Earth Magic and basic tactics. But he also didn't manage to attack Alkin (again, one square short). Then Alkin attacked. Tazar, level 14, 5-15-1-3 - Expert Defense, Luck, Earth (but Strength is only 1). vs. Alkin, level 11, 4-11-2-4 - Expert Attack, Defense, Earth (without Slowness). Tazar - 0 Hydras, 14 Wyverns, 12 Gorgons, 33 Flies, 64 Lizards, 107 Gnolls. Alkin - 2 Hydras, 12 Wyverns, 18 Gorgons, 8 Flies, 5 Lizards, 10 Great Lizards. What decided the outcome of the battle? The armies are almost equal. Alkin has a Cloak of Speed, spell power 2 - he cast Shield, while Tazar only cast spells for 1 round, and Alkin had 17 mana, while Tazar had 13. In addition, Alkin is an Expert in Attack. Tazar's only advantage is slightly higher Defense skill. The game was a long time ago, as far as I remember, the outcome was decided by Tazar's +3 Luck and +2 Morale. Thank you for the game. A truly original match :)

vbn (blue, Swamp, Tazar) def invisible (red, Swamp, Alkin) 2SM4d(3) 1-3-3.

It happened!

The game was a while ago, as far as I remember, luck +3 and spirit +2 of Tazar decided the outcome.

And the native secondary skill also decided it ;)
Thanks for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) def loi (Red, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d3, 2.1.2.

On the first map - Cavaliers without a Citadel, but the external dwelling of Unicorns was painted.
On the second map - Conflux secondary hero, found the Axe + 2 in a Crypt, and picked up the Immovable Eye of the Dragon + 1 attack/defense.
On the third map - Green Dragons, picked up the Shield of the Raging Ogre + 5.
On the fourth map, Valera, while breaking through the GO, first attacks the scout hero, thereby breaking the chain along which Ivor planned to split his army and return home, and attacks my Papa with part of the army. I buy myself out with 22 Battle Unicorns.
On 2.1.2, the opponent attacks me in the Castle.
I managed to hold the siege, buying out all the garrison except for 2 Green Dragons, and 29 Battle Unicorns helped me greatly with this, along with the Blade, Expert Attack, and Defense.
The opponent bravely fell on the battlefield.

Thank you to Valera for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Dungeon, red, Shakhti) def DarkMind (Castle, blue, Orrin), 2sm4d3, 11?
Started off not bad, many archers from the start, but went to fight a pack of pits guarding a couple of gold piles and something else. On the 3rd round of battle, two stacks of pits are pushed by morale. As a result, 25 archers are blocked and about 25 spearmen against 9 pits. Battle lost, prospects are negligible, no desire to play - game over.

DarkMind (Castle, blue, Orrin) def Dubrovin Pavel (Dungeon, red, Shakhti), 2sm4d3, 121
Similar situation, only in reverse. On 121 (I think) I receive news of surrender.

DarkMind (Castle, blue, Orrin) def Dubrovin Pavel (Dungeon, red, Shakhti), 2sm4d3, 233
Big respawn, 2 external dwellings of spearmen, horses and angels (well guarded), but not a single can and nothing to loot. The neighboring mud respawn (dungeon) is very rich for free, 4 heroes couldn't collect it all in time :), so I built the capitol without any problems, and then bought up the entire army when I returned with the main hero and went to reclaim the external dwellings, then I take another growth and go to the Dragon Utopia with 4 angels, 16 champions, and 150 halberdiers... I rushed it, fearing that the opponent might arrive soon, my ГО was weak - upgraded pits. In the Dragon Utopia I lost 9 champions:( . But on the other hand, there was enough to buy out the entire army (with external dwellings) and on the 2nd week of the 2nd month I paid a visit to the opponent myself. Shakhti had disappeared somewhere while I was taking castles, probably taking Dragon Utopias. On 233 he arrived from the other side at his own capital, all battered, where Orrin met him.
Total 2:1. Thanks for the games!

DarkMind (Castle, blue, Orrin) def Dubrovin Pavel (Dungeon, red, Shakhty), 2sm4d3, 233
Large base, 2 hidden spots with spearmen, knights, and angels (well-protected). Thanks for the game!

Confirmed, 2:1 in favor of DarkMind.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks to Valera for the game!

I confirm. Rich respawn, attacked at the right time, even hesitated a bit. Lacked experience, didn't realize there was a path to victory - Pasha suggested it later. Well, he didn't capitalize on it, so he lost. And that's the beauty of the game.
Thanks to Pasha for, as always, an interesting and dynamic game.

Muxa (Blue, Rampart, Kirr) def Supermag (Red, Dungeon, Shachti) 2sm4d3, 2-3-2.
In his treasure, he only found a club and a bunch of pandoras with experience, while his opponent had a teapot and a necklace with + to everything.
In the final battle, Shachti had all parameters at 20 +-1, while Kirr had an attack of 21, defense of 16 or 18, and minimal magic. They decided on 15 gold dragons. (He took the cliff with dragons on the 2nd or 3rd week).
Thanks for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valesk) def. rebellious (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) 2sm4d3, 1.4.1. On the first week: Unicorns in the citadel, home castle. On the second week: 2 Angel dwellings are built, costing 50-99 simple creatures and 50-99 Greater Demons, Angels are built in the home castle. On the third week: 2 "Canned Goods" (3+3), a Pandora creature with 10,000 experience. Upgrade Angels. On 1.3.7: I add 1 Archangel to "Mommy's Army." Mommy now has 1 Archangel, 6 + 6 Angels, about 40 Heavy Crossbowmen, and 4 Cavaliers. On 1.3.7: 2 Angels remain in the Castle. Mommy is stationed at the Gate of the Underworld as 50-99 Pr. Naga. On 1.4.1: I add 1 Angel from the Castle and 1 from the Outpost to the Main Army, break through the Gate of the Underworld, and attack the opponent's "Dad" in the Castle. The opponent surrendered. Maybe I violated the Red Rush strategy. But I don't think so. Because on 1.3.7, I had 2 Angels in the Main Castle. And on 1.4.1, I bought 1 from that same Castle and 1 from the Outpost. I could have bought two instead of one. I didn't save any turns by doing this; I just acted this way, not seeing any significant difference. I ask you to judge, for the future, whether this is allowed, or if I did violate the Voloda Rules. Thank you to my opponent for the game!

1. loi(red, castle,Valesca) def Muxa (blue,rampart, Kirr) 2sm4d (3)121

2. loi(blue, castle,Valesca) def Muxa (red,rampart, Kirr) 2sm4d (3)137

In both games, I had a good respawn rate, which wasn't the case for my opponent.
Consequently, my development progressed faster, and in both games, I went for a breakthrough (almost by chance the first time) - my opponent wasn't prepared for the encounter.
Thanks for the games, the score is 2:0 in favor of loi.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Ivor) def Izgoy767 (Blue, Castle, Katerina), 2sm4d3, 2.1.1.

Week 1 - Unicorns in the Castle.
Week 2 - native secondary creatures.
Week 3 - Green Dragons, secondary creatures from Necropolis and Fortress, Unicorns.
Week 4 - loss of Necromancer's secondary creatures, Gold Dragons.
In 2.1.1, the secondary creatures returned; waiting for Papa Druzhina to replenish. At the same time, a brave Mama attacks unsuspecting Papa. Papa won.

Thank you for the game!
