Javdet(Elves, Ivor) Izgoy767(necro, Galthran)
We took all restarts. On day 3 the opponent capitulated.
Thanks for the game!

That's how it was. I could have taken a restart because the exit from the Castle was blocked by 10-19 Cerberi guarding a Mace +4 to Attack, but I cut them down almost without losses and pushed forward like a tank and got all the way to 10-19 Medusas and died there)
We immediately started another game
Izgoy767(Inferno, Pyr) Def Javdet(Bog, Bron)
The start was mediocre, I didn't find Efreets on the first week because there was no Ore, but I had enough for a Castle and 1-5 levels! Further development seemed to go on, on the fourth I wanted to take a Dragon Utopia that was on my respawn, good thing I didn't go in, it turned out to be a three-stack, they would've crushed me to nothing! I went into the underground to the Utopia and it turned out to be even tougher, good thing I sent a scout, went to collect Pandora's Boxes, they gave 60 Mage Gogs and a spell book, I fended off with 20-49 horses. My time is 7:30 AM and there comes news of capitulation.

Izgoy767 (Inferno, Pir) Def Javdet (Swamp, Bron)
Starting was mediocre, didn't place efreeti on the first turn because there was no ore, but it was enough for Castle and levels 1-5! Then development seemed to continue; on the fourth turn I wanted to take the Dragon Utopia that was on my respawn, good thing I didn't go in — it turned out to be level 3, they would have crushed me to nothing there! Went to the underground for the Dragon Utopia and it turned out to be even nastier; good thing I sent a scout, went to collect Pandora's boxes, they gave 60 magogs and a spell book, fought it off with 20-49 horses. My time is 7:30 AM and news of capitulation arrives.[/QUOTE]

Took all restarts, in the last one there were no decent heroes, took a risk and contacted Miranda, which I later regretted. Everything was decided by an unlucky march to the nagas. On 1.3.1. I see that Pir is far ahead in parameters, while mine is worthless — never got Earth magic. Had to force it — but didn't take the conservatory.

Thanks for the game.

forza (blue, Inferno, Feast, Feast) def smoke_mk (red, Ivory, Ivory), 244

Confirmed, he moved far away from the castle, used a magical jump to cross the mountains, and took the main castle. There was no point in taking the castle, as he had 7 gold dragons and 26 grand dragons with him. The blue player has a significant army advantage...

Mizrael(red, Castle, Caitlin, Lacus) def Loi(Castle, Valeska, Gundula) 2sm4d(3) 137
........................
And he also broke down the walls very quickly with a siege engine. Thanks for the game.

It happened. I didn't make any obvious mistakes; the horses were positioned in the castle on the first day, I bought everything – I was probably outplayed by an opponent who more clearly capitalized on all his advantages and neutralized mine. Except that
just to justify myself :) - Gundula became a Wisdom expert by level 5, and her magic power and knowledge grew rapidly, so I built a GM4 by the beginning of the third week – it turned out to be useless. Furthermore, I allowed the opponent to freely build up all his troops by switching to a defensive strategy. Plus, in the battle, when the angels and griffins flew over the wall, their morale dropped, and the crushers and vivs died – probably not a decisive factor.
Thanks to the opponent for the game; it's always positive and instructive to play against him.

rebellious (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack) def Rhox (blue, Fortress, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 211
I'm repeating this from the clan war. On the first day, I freed Tanta, level 5, from the dungeon, and things went better with the skeletons, especially since there were plenty of low-level neutrals. I had enough money, and on the fourth day, I built the bear cave, and Tanta really thrived. By the end of the week, I captured the secondary town, and in the main town, I built the castle. Crag was given logistics and land right away, but Tanta developed much faster. In the second week, I took the dungeon; there were many crystals there. That's why I built cyclops in the main town and bears in the secondary town. Tanta had nothing left to eat, so he went to the swamps, where he was destroyed by Tazar – 339 skeletons were lost. But many wyverns also went to the afterlife. And then the terrible Crag entered the fray with 11 gray wolves, 4 angels, 34 thunderbirds, 11 cyclops kings... Tazar surrendered.
Thank you for the game.

rebellious (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack) def Rhox (blue, Fortress, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 211

Duplicating from the clan war.

I confirm.
11 upgraded Behemoths and 34 Griffins on week 4 are good arguments.

invisible (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def OUTLAW (blue, Castle, Turis, Turis) 136 2sm4d(3)
After all the rests, I'm in the underground and almost drooled over such a layout: Right near the Castle are external dwellings of troglodytes, minotaurs and manticores, a Dragon Utopia, and I spotted 2 cans. I checked one of them immediately—it had 3-4 angels, so I move on. Got logistics, and then air. I check the second one—it has only one :smile23: , so I take it immediately on 113 and move further. Took the ring of life, bought a book, cleared the external dwellings of minotaurs and manticores, fought my way to an Inferno secondary site. End of the week: minotaurs have nothing, everything from external dwellings has been bought out, but there were no resources to build the portal. On the second [week], I fought my way to the surface—a Barbarian adjacent secondary site. There was immediately a one-unit can—we take it. I find an external market, which helped me buy out all the power from the external dwellings and build up the Castle. Doubled mana at the fountain, found another can (3-4 angels). On 127 I spend the night in it. End of the second week: 2000, Castle, manticores, portal (manticores arrived immediately and subsequently they were always the ones arriving). On 131 troop reinforcement, I take a three-unit can, a hive with 6 wyverns, break back home, double mana, and take another three-unit can. On 134 I take a three-unit Dragon Utopia: it was just pure gold—+10 to all stats and an air book exactly for my expert air magic. On 135 I break through the ГО (wyverns + psychos), visit the library, and on 136 I attack Turis's Castle. Shakti's sky-high stats and his decent army left Igor with no chance.
Thanks for the game!

invisible (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def OUTLAW (blue, Castle, Turis, Turis) 136 2sm4d(3)
Confirmed.
We used up all the restarts; I had to take a forced rest (113) on the very first day at the base of Group Vasily, who were guarding the Hive right at the entrance to the Castle :mad: Then, I was kindly given a restart due to a game over right at the gates of the Castle (the generator was completely out of its mind :smile40: ).
We started. The respawn is very uneven, with only one road to the game over point and then to the secondary base, which was blocked by 2 shooting blocks :mad: ).
Therefore, I'm going deeper into the respawn. End of the week: Tiris is level 6 (3rd slot - attack, 4th - earth :D ), 6 heroes, horses in the Castle. In the second week, I decide to level up earth, as the presence of stat boosters and neutral creatures allowed it. I gave up on breaking through to the secondary base (Stronghold), and it probably wouldn't have worked anyway, as the game was clearly not in my favor, and if I had encountered Shakti there, the game would have ended even earlier :smile04:
In my own respawn, apart from the griffon lair, there's nothing, no consumables. The only advantages are the university and the club with +6 to attack, which I was going to visit after gaining earth experience. At the end of the week, I see 2 manticores in the opponent's Castle :smile45: , which means things are even worse for me......
And in the third week, I finally get completely crushed and die :D When I saw the stats of the red player, I was just... and this is in the 3rd week!!!!
Excellent setup for the Dungeon and excellent execution!!!!
Thank you for the game, Sergey. I'm looking forward to a rematch :smile17:

Decontaminator (red, Necro, Izra, Izya) def invisible (blue, Necro, Vidomina, Vida) XL without underground 2sm4d(3) 213
If I had lost, I would have had to play necro-necro again, but this way the confrontation ended. In week 1, buildings 1-6 were built minus 3, upgrades and converter; Izya has expert Necromancy and Logistics, 212 skeletons, external dwelling of skeletons. In week 2, market at home, vampire upgrade, +1000, stronghold; in the secondary town: Conf +1000, market; Izya broke through to the treasury, 533 skeletons. In week 3, lich and rider upgrades, level 3 Mage Guild (didn't get the raise spell), castle; in the secondary town: Mage Guild, smithy; captured black knight external dwelling, Dragon Utopia tier 2 (got earth book, titan cuirass, medal +3 luck/morale), recovered speed boots, shield +4, flail +4; Izya level 11, 709 skeletons. In week 4, ГО was broken through, the capital and 2 of blue's secondary towns were captured, a bunch of noobs were killed. Izya is looking for Vidomina. At 213 she appeared near the Conf secondary town. Izya Town Portal and FF. Vida has almost no mana, but she has a red ball. Her stats are higher except for spell power. Izya crushed her with one more meat. Thanks for the game and experience.

Game from the "War of the Clans: online" tournament
Mizrael (red, Tower, Aine, Crag Hack) def Scorp (Stronghold, Gurnisson, Grindan) 2sm4d(3) 213

Confirmed.
On the first turn, scouts attack the Refugee Camp, where, as always, there are 3 creatures. Along the way, there's a Guardian and 20-49 Marksmen. Gurnisson goes to attack neutrals, sees a Tower, and on turn 112, either due to a map glitch or something else, Mizrael's secondary Castle is separated by a Guardian, and it's not mine, but I can reach it (I don't know). He decides to play. On turn 117, there's a 1-5 creature in the Stronghold + 1 secondary creature (elementals). On turn 127, there's the main secondary creature + 2 elemental castles + 2 hidden water creatures (in one of the castles, there's even a Stronghold). On turn 135, Crag Hack emerges from the underground. On the next turn, in the main cities, I build Castles and buy everything, although the hero is only level 1 or 2 for defense. The capital is captured. Crag Hack settles in it for at least two turns until the next city. Not far from the second Castle, Grindan is leveling up (experience + base intelligence 3174), but there's no mana. He wants to double the mana, pay off his scout, and settle in the second Castle. Then, Mizrael gives the army to the scout, and the scout destroys the city. Grindan still pays off (8 Thunderbirds, 19 Wolf Riders, and 4 Goblins) and buys himself out where there are many Hives, and Crag Hack immediately runs there. He only manages to take one resource node, and Crag Hack is already in my 3rd city. I pay him off and buy myself out in the last Castle, where there are 2 Conservatories. I take one for 4 Angels + 38 (out of 58) water creatures remain, and I probably wouldn't have time to attack the second one - they were right on my heels. Crag Hack was going to take the last Castle, and I (Grindan 8697 experience, Logistics, Wisdom, Earth, Air, and Intelligence) was going in the opposite direction, first for Wings, the Book of Earth, and the Utopian (with Hives - there are many of them), but there's a 131 Medusa guarding the dungeon. I attack with 5 Angels, 25 water creatures, and 2 Thunderbirds - only 5 Angels remain. From the dungeon, I take a pack of Pikemen + 2 Griffons, and then, lo and behold, there are 59 Enchanters. It's too difficult to go back, so I attack - thanks for the game!!!

Attasik (Rampart, Kyrre) vs Aldegir (Dungeon, Gunnar), 2sm4d3, 1-2-5

Week 1 - Barbarian secondary, Castle, cavalry.
Week 2 - home secondary, dragons at home, caught the opponent off guard through the portal of my home secondary, jumped out near his main Castle (guarded by 1 centaur), why wasn't the entire growth bought out on day 5 and the portal not recaptured ??? he says he had army issues (happened to me too). Aldegir surrendered. I planned the game so poorly that I forgot to upgrade the elves and capture their dwelling (they were meat for breaking into new lands - it's still a shame, the Rampart trump card).

Folks, please advise, this is the second time this has happened... - I attack the opponent, the battle stalls (can't even flee on the opponent's turn), but the opponent says he didn't attack and I'm just standing next to him ?*?*?
_______________________________
this is called desynchronization - a connection glitch :D
it happens rarely, but when it does, it hits the spot ))))))
in such cases you need to reload the previous turn, then move next to the hero you need to attack and wait, making the other moves with other heroes.... the next turn the opponent will attack your hero themselves and everything should be normal..... :smile02:
if these are scout heroes, then it's simpler, you assess the chances of each, who should die :D and simply, after reloading the previous save, fire that scout hero....
from my own experience / OUTLAW :smile17:

Thanks for the pleasant way to kill time :)

Colorado (red, Fortress, Kyrre) def Дубровин Павел (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar) 2sm4d(3) 147

Confirmed!

On the first map - Mants in the Castle, a hidden Troglodyte, and a secondary Conflux.

On the second map - Dragons, and a secondary Conflux.

On the third map - 6 Angels.

On the fourth map, I had a choice: go to the treasury, but I was foolish and went without any artifacts (didn't find a single one) to my opponent's territory, and I was punished for it.

Thank you for the game!

vitalic (Red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Sir knight-voland (Blue, Tower, Neela) 2SM4D(3) 147
on the first map killed everything and 73 archers on the grass didn't stop him. Reached 1-6 with a Castle (didn't buy a single Manticore until the end of the game). On the second map captured Rampart and an external dwelling of elves, broke through it to the opponent and went back. Shouldn't have gone there, the opponent had hundreds of Grems. Then took a long time to reach the Conservatory, but made it and it took off — capture, recall home, another Griffin Conservatory +4 Angels, recall to Rampart and capture two Conservatories at the opponent's. Then stormed his Castle, Shakti with 18 Attack and 10 Angels + other troops took out Neela with 250 Grems, a hundred Obsidian Gargoyles, etc.

thanks for the game

third round (second pair)
vitalic (red, Dungeon, Shakthi) def Sir knight-voland (blue, Tower, Nella) 2SM4D(3) 147
I confirm! Lost on the last day of the 4th week! Nilka was at home and bored))) Shakthi arrived with 10 angels and comforted the poor girl!!!
It was quite interesting! ))
Thank you for the game!!!

Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def scorp (Blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3), 1.4.4.

Confirmed. On 111, scouted terrain with the tower: external dwelling of behemoths on secondary, also an external dwelling but already with nagas. On 117, I hit 14 nagas, leaving a ballista, 2 birds, and a behemoth (from a dwelling); with these I hit the external dwelling of bears — they have no morale — the external dwelling is mine, 1 behemoth left + ballista at 9hp ---------- they are home in the castle + secondary. 127 two secondaries (tower), one of them has a castle + external dwelling of nagas. On 135, killed 20 efreets for the sun and stood before ГО (29 dragons, among them 5 gold) with 6 angels and the rest (8 behemoths, 12 birds, 11 nagas). 137 I did not attack, but built a chain from my home castle. On 141, I attack with: 4 angels, 19 birds, 11 bears, 8 nagas, 1 mage, and chaff — 9535, level 13, expert artillery and air, advanced attack and wisdom, basic logistics, tactics, earth magic, and armor. Pavel has 7642, level 9, 13 champions, 108 marksmen, 28 crusaders, 105 pikemen, 9 monks, and 23 griffins; expert earth, advanced leadership, archery, and air, basic attack.
Lost only all the archers and 6 cavalry — fled (no gold even to resurrect)
On 144, he attacked me (41 wolves + singles) — but Valeska's catapult broke the wall with two precise shots, and that was it.
Thanks for the game.

Game from the "Clans Wars: on-line" tournament
scorp (Red, Stronghold, Gurnisson) def Vbn (Blue, Castle, Valeska) 2SM4d(s), 160%, 124

We took 3 restarts, I still had one left on 113. We started playing — we transferred, but when a glitch started later — no turn limit (we played a couple of turns, and I suggested starting over — it was very distracting and killed all concentration; Vitaliy agreed).
111 — Gurnisson loses the ballista to 50-99 upgraded ghouls and, as luck would have it, gets advanced artillery; I had to build the forge and Ballista Yard to buy a ballista. On 112, I scouted the edge of an external dwelling of nagas and another secondary, also a Tower (thinking immediately: external dwelling + 2 castles — that's serious), but I broke through closer and was stunned by its guard: 10-19 scorpicores on the first week (nothing was lying around the external dwelling and no passage to an adjacent respawn); I licked my lips and left. 117 1-5 without 4 in the Stronghold + secondary. Then I got a message about a double loss on the third map; Vitaliy couldn't take it and conceded the victory to me.
Thanks for the game.
