Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Stronghold, Valeska) def Mizrael (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti), 2sm4d3, 2.1.4.

Confirmed, first week - cats with a Stronghold, 2 hidden troglodyte nests. In the second week, three paths: a Great Owl in a Lich horde, a nomad horde, and a lot of harpies + a lot of golden golems, but no money at all. Instead of golems in the underground, I fight golden golems as well, but there are 44 of them on the Necropolis respawn (Pandora) - why? I killed them at the cost of all the troglodytes, 10k experience - the Miner is strong, but there's no army :) As a result, the week was wasted, the secondary resource was not defended (it turned out to be my own later), and the momentum was lost. By the time I reached the resource, it was already week 4, the resource was in the swamp - no logistics, no boots. I found another one, gathered some wyverns there, and then Valeska arrived. I gave her the capital, and I take the treasure. I blocked two narrow passages with lots of harpies (7 each) to prevent a scout from bypassing them. I attacked the accelerated Valeska with another scout to disrupt her acceleration for the next turn, but it was all in vain - a level 5 hat, with it, she has damage dealing and can reach the Miner, who didn't have time to escape to the fantastic resource in 1 day: a wagon of hives, Utopia, and Angel Wings behind crystal dragons. This is what it means to lose a week of time! Thank you for the game.

vbn (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Aldegir (red, Rampart, Mefala, Mefala) 2SM4d(3) 236.

1st week: wyverns in the stronghold (mistakenly didn't build either a castle or gorgons), external dwelling with gnolls.
2nd week: hydras in the castle (again, mistakenly didn't build gorgons), secondary Conflux.
3rd week: native secondary base, with wyverns and gorgons in the stronghold.
4th week: could have gone for GO, as Mefala started building up her economy since the 1st week, but decided to look for treasure, and it was all in vain; half the map is revealed - nothing there.
5th week: found Utopia in the Dungeon, what luck.
6th week: took this Utopia (Shield of Lion's Fury) and visited the library; on the 7th day, Tazar is preparing before GO (crystal dragons).
7th week: having dragged the game out to this point, I risked losing because Mefala became a formidable mage, despite only having 12 strength - 2 air+earth spells, city portal, dimension door, seems like she has all fire spells (without the skill).

In general, on turn 2-3-3, Mefala jumps over GO and stops next to Tazar.
Tazar runs away, and on 2-3-6 - final battle: Mefala defends in the castle.

Tazar level 21 23-28-13-24, expert defense+attack+resistance (with resistance cloak), learning+leadership+wisdom.

def

Mefala level 20 11-23-13-15, expert defense+logistics+earth (with sphere)+air (with sphere)+resistance+leadership+wisdom.

16 chaos hydras against 9 golden ones, 51 wyvern-monarchs against 16 unicorns, etc.

Armageddon didn't save Mefala, and Tazar won.
Thank you for the game.

And generally, could we approve this idea? :)
Make it something like a requirement - upload the save file of the final battle?

I’m afraid that would be too difficult as a mandatory condition,
even now, not everyone can write reports according to the rules, following the template.

Optional - yes. For example, Mizrael writes excellent reports and also uploads saves. I like this. If there are any suggestions on this or other issues, please submit them for discussion in this topic.

to vbn.
Please upload the save before the battle. It would be interesting to see.

Here, I am uploading the save from the failed battle on 2-3-2 and the save from the battle on 2-3-6.
Honestly, knowing about antimagic, Tazar could have cast it at least on some chaos hydras or wyvern-monarchs, and he would have emerged victorious.

Simply seeing the advantage, I didn't even bother with combat tactics and allowed Tazar to suffer much greater losses than was possible.

Mizrael (Dungeon, Shakti) def Vigo (red, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 143

There was only one restart. Start — Shakti with a ring of +1 attack/defense, boots recovered from behind a horde of thieves, 1000 at home. On day 2, I see a GO lot of bears, the second road is blocked by a lot of gr. elves, bad... On day 3, I build Medusas, buy everything out, and hit the elves; if the losses are big, I'll take a restart. But a few Harpies and morale for the Troglodytes help — lost 2 Medusas and a few Troglodytes, but got a native secondary on day 3 :) Recovered a couple of Dwarf maidens, found an external dwelling of Manticores. End of week result: Shakti level 8, external dwelling of cats, cats at home, Citadel and Portal, secondary — Portal, all cats bought. Nowhere to go nearby except GO and two Metro exits (Portal near home, but far), all money goes to cats — Shakti is leveling. 123 — first Metro exit cleared — into Swamp, a Dragon Utopia visible, decided not to go in yet, recovered a University from under a lot of gr. Wasps, just in time leveled to 10 (lost three cats, regretted not bringing meat along). 124 — second exit cleared — into Lava, clearly a treasure zone — Pandora's Box and Naga Bank. End of week result: Shakti level 12, Castle at home, secondary — 2000. 13 cats in hand is good, but no cover and no mana — wiped on 131, built Mana Vortex and went back into the treasure zone. 132 — Conservatory for 4 Angels, 133 — Pendant of +3 morale/luck and Pandora's Box for 5k experience, 134 — Book of Air. End of week result: Shakti level 21, 20-22-11-16. A wagon of money from the Dragon Utopia allowed buying everything; on 141 I build another Vortex at home, Shakti gathers everything and crushes 50 bears. Just got to the surface, red's scouts there — found his Castle with Air Scouting, I jump in that direction, but the road winds so much I had to march for another 2 turns, picking up another Hive along the way. 143 — final battle in the Castle:
Shakti level 22, 22-23-11-16. 4 Angels, 33 Scorpicores, 19 Wyverns, and some small units. Lots of morale and luck.
Valeska level 12, 8-9-6-7. A stack of Champions, Zealots, and the rest of the Castle army could not hold off the thick flyers, who Stormed into the Castle. Thanks for the game.

P.S. To avoid any misunderstandings, I am posting saves for each day (this is a bit costly for me due to EGPRS, but the truth is more valuable). If there are any questions, ask.

Dekrntinator (red, random, Necropolis, Galtran, Gosha) def Maniac (blue, random, Castle, Adelaide, Tazar) 211 2sm4d(3)
Both were playing on random. I took 1 restart on turn 113: Both got Rampart. Immediately, through the overview, I spotted half of blue's starting area and saw a quick path through an adjacent secondary town. At first, I was happy because some good fighters appeared, and along the way, in the mentioned secondary town, there were easily obtainable artifacts +2 to strength and +4 to knowledge. Then I saw blue's main hero - Tzel:eek: The starting area turned out to be small and meager. Assuming a quick rush, I took a restart.
Gosha arrived with 50 skeletons. We're playing.
Week 1: Vampires and liches at home in the citadel, +1000 (almost built an upgrade, but remembered the rules in time), +1000 in the Rampart secondary town, guild of mages and elves. Gosha has expert spellcasting, advanced water magic, initial armor, 169 skeletons. 5 heroes. On the way from the capital, blue's main hero, Tazar, is running around in the adjacent secondary town.
Week 2: +2000 at home in the Castle. +2000 in the secondary town. Gosha has expert water magic, initial attack, wisdom, and ballistics on an angel. 231 skeletons.
Week 3: Black Knights in the Capitol with level 3 guild, +2000 in the third secondary town, Castle. Gosha at home, on 2 angels, advanced attack, added earth and logistics. 8 heroes. 499 skeletons.
Week 4. March to blue. The Rampart secondary town was captured. 2 more angels were obtained. Gosha is near blue's capital, where Tazar is.
211 FF: Gosha 8 6 8 6 60 mana, 4 angels, 6 gr. riders, 733 skeletons, 19 gr. liches, 22 vampires, tent. Tazar: 6 13 5 2 20 mana, 33 gr. elves, 57 dwarves, 11 champions, 76 pikemen, 22 cruisers, 125 gr. archers, 38 gr. crossbowmen.
The ballista immediately destroys the gates.
Thanks for the game and the experience.
P.S.: It doesn't seem to be specified in the rules. There was an unguarded passage to the treasury. IMHO, this is a bug in the generator, and you can't use bugs.

Mizrael (Dungeon, Shakti) def. Vigo (red, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 143

There used to be such a game. The opponent's insight is simply astonishing...

Mizrael (red, Castle, Caitlin, Brissa) defeated Loi (Castle, Valeska, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 134 We played without using the "scouting" mechanic, so I suggested playing with identical Castles – Loi agreed. The map is decent, but there weren't any skilled warrior creatures, so I started developing Brissa. By the end of the week, she was level 5, with expert air magic, and I had stables and a Stronghold. I cleared out a hidden stash of monks and griffins. I lost a good number of archers, but the outer stable allowed my main hero to break through to the secondary resource without problems, going through a horde of ogres on the second week. I created 8 heroes; they cleared out everything that could bring in money – angels and a Castle by the end of the second week. Brissa reached level 10: wisdom, air, earth, and scouting. I bought 131 and gave it to Brissa – she flew off to search for a treasure. The scouting skill proved useful... she spotted the top of a watchtower behind a group of monks, and the earth magic revealed a blue secondary resource, and it was a native one. I cleared a path to the treasure, sent Catherine in there – a wagonload of chests and gold allowed me to upgrade the monks and buy everything from the dwelling, except for swords. The 133 scout reached the watchtower and revealed the secondary resource; my main hero with the entire army is marching there. The scout was immediately killed, the chain was broken, but there was no longer enough money for swords. 134 – I take the secondary resource, upgrade my creatures there, and sit in defense. Kyrre gathers his forces and attacks: Brissa 4-2-9-10, 0 mana. 3 angels, 5 champions, 19 zealots, 29 archers, 83 griffin creatures. Stronghold. Kyrre 5-8-2-4, 18 mana. 1 angel, 5 champions, 17 swordsmen, 39+39 archers, 22 griffin creatures, 110 creatures. It's always easier to defend, even if the hero is a mage without mana, and 3 angels are a powerful force – the victory went to Brissa. The leadership gained at the last level helped – the zealots broke through several times. Thank you for the game.

vbn (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Alegir (red, Rampart, Mefala, Mefala) 2SM4d(3) 236. What can I say in my defense...? Nothing =) - I lost due to inexperience... I'll try to improve.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Izgoy767 (Blue, Rampart, Kirr), 2sm4d3, 2.1.1. On the first map - 1-6 without 5 in the Castle, took Necropolis as a secondary town. On the second map - took Castle and Rampart as secondary towns. On the third map - Ring of the Dragon's Eye, Maximum Conservation, built Dragons in his home town. On the fourth map - through the Necropolis secondary town, he reached the opponent's Republic, on 1.4.3 he took the remaining unguarded main castle of the opponent. Then he took the opponent's secondary town - Castle. At the end of the fourth map - Dima took my secondary town - Rampart. I transfer the army to my main town, Dad attacks, stands in 1 turn against the opponent's Dad who was stationed in the secondary town. The opponent moves towards me, then turns around, disappears into a teleport, returns to the Rampart secondary town, but doesn't reach it by a few squares. I attack, Dima surrenders. Thank you, Dima, for the game!

Thanks to Dima for the game!

No big deal, this season has just started – we’ll fight again:smile14: :smile14: :smile14:
And thanks to Pavel for the game too!

Aldegir (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Izgoy676 (blue, Inferno, Pyra Pyra) 2SM4d(3) 145 Week 1 - Stronghold + basilisks and a hidden stash of dragonflies and wyverns. Week 2 - Castle + wyverns... little gold... hasn't left his territory yet. Week 3 - Stronghold, and towards the end of the week, I see blue with the intention of attacking my Castle. I send Tazar into the Castle - he attacks. Pyra 5-5-2-1 45 Gogs, 12 Dogs, 20 Demons, 12 Pit Lords, 5 Ifrits. Tazar 4-9 -2-3 28 Lizards, 19 Flies, 6 Wyverns. In the end, he loses and retreats. Week 4, I go scouting... from where he came (it turns out we are close... I am on the surface, and he is underground, a little to the north). In the end, I see him rushing towards my Castle again... I attack myself, and he runs away. Then there was another battle in the field... in the end, I retreated with Tazar to the Castle... and finally, Pyra attacked the Castle and lost... The opponent surrendered. Sorry for the incoherent description of the game... I'm still learning. Added after 51 minutes Aldegir (blue, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) def Izgoy767 (red, Inferno, Pyra Pyra) 2SM4d(3) 114 The opponent surrendered because he lost in the battle for the wood against 20 swordsmen and, when offered an autosave, replied that the situation was hopeless because there was no way to reach the wood (mine). In the end, we started a new game

Mizrael(red, Castle, Caitlin, Brissa) def Loi(Castle, Valeska, Kyrre ) 2sm4d(3) 134

We played without scouting.... Thanks for the game.

I confirm. I had a bad second week and, unlike my opponent, I didn't clear the necessary areas effectively. As a result, I had money problems and wasn't fully prepared for the match. There was an option to rush Kyrre to my opponent's main castle when he captured my secondary castle, but I thought I had a chance even by storming Brissa. And I did, as my opponent pointed out after the game. I didn't find a way to win, including by splitting the archers into two groups. But regardless of the outcome, it was a very instructive and interesting game.
Thank you for it, Mizrael!

Loi(Bron, fortress, Bron) defeated Gamer-kirill(red, castle, Valesca) 2smd4d(3) 143

As part of the "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" tournament - the second game.

The respawn point, as far as I understand, was relatively good, as I managed to place a 1-6 unit in the castle. I didn't place any Hydras at all. I sometimes suffered excessive losses, but it was tolerable - only the empty Pandora on turn 111 was disappointing. Along the way, I encountered a lot of group of Medusas, and on the second turn, I entered the secondary Rampart, with an entrance to the Treasury nearby. At the cost of losing almost all other troops, I gathered enough wolves and werewolves - at the beginning of the third turn. Judging by the tavern, my opponent was having difficulties - I decided to visit him first with a powerful stack of group of wolves for 4 weeks, having artillery +1 to speed,
Bron's stats are approximately 9-10-4-5. I did just that, and upon exiting the portal, I immediately met Tazarr, and I had more troops and better stats. Tazarr retreated, and soon a message about surrender followed.
Thank you for the game.
The score in the match is now 1:1 - a tie-breaker on a full random map is ahead (and already underway). :)

vitalic (blue, Rampart, Kir) def Sir DubrovinPoll (red, Castle, Valeska) 2SM4D(3) 127
In the first game, I went to the snowy secondary map, with horses and a castle. My opponent kept suggesting a certain tactic, but I didn't take it, and after breaking through from the snowy area to the grassy area, I regretted it. There were 19 silver pegasus units there. I put that plan aside and broke through to the swampy secondary map, sending an army to the left hero, and I went home. This quick route allowed the hero to reach the secondary map in 4 days. Then, I sent an army back, but the artifacts were forgotten. I broke through a teleport to the grassy area, and I was attacked.
I managed to win, although my opponent had a good army!
Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

Yes, we met unexpectedly.
I only found a replay for version 1.2.5 (my own), so I had to search for it. The opponent appeared on the next turn.

In the Facebook game, I was let down by the lack of a spellbook, and the opponent's Unicorns struck my Knights first.

But it wasn't meant to be this time.

Thanks for the game!
