forza (blue, Inferno, Feast, Feast) vs yachsmit (red, Stronghold, Crag Hag, Crag Hag) 5SB0b, 160%. 2.3.5.
The opponent came to my castle himself... where I was already waiting for him after visiting the Dragon Utopia... a native secondary site on the second week
Thanks for the game

I confirm. And I just stayed home, running around collecting various resources. Apparently in vain :smile28: I should have gone to war right away :smile14:

Huge thanks for the game as well!

invisible (blue, Rampart, Kyrr, Kyrr) def OUTLAW (red, Castle, Turis, Gunnar) 147 2sm4d(3)

Confirmed.
Another bad game :D due to a combination of circumstances....
Great start, by the end of week 1 10k+, secondary Tower. In the first few days of week 2 I break through 2 Medusa Hives, a Wyvern Nest with 6 Wyverns, bought all the growth, and through an adjacent passage I could have gone to visit Sergey via his stable, but I got Earth magic in the 4th slot and decided not to rush, since I had revealed 2 Griffin Conservatories and decided to enter my own Dragon Utopia. I build Nagas in the citadel, in my home town — the castle, I break through to the Dungeon's underground, there I break through a dragon bank, reveal another Griffin Conservatory on 1, break through. I clear the Griffin Conservatories (2+3), bring troops from Tower and go into the Dragon Utopia (minimum :mad: ) — it gives complete nonsense, I buy everything out and head to the passage to Sergey's home secondary, since there was an observation tower nearby and I saw the army chain across the metro :D I break the chain and pass the turn.
Then Sergey described everything. It's a real pity that the tactic didn't work out again and the terrain turned out to be very favorable for elf defense.
But overall, I lost fair and square... Shouldn't have dragged my feet :smile04:
Thanks for the game, Sergey!!! :smile13:
But after a bad streak, bright days must come :smile04:
So beware :D

Aldegir (red random, Swamp, Tazar) def Kien (blue random, Castle, Valeska) 2SM4d(3)

1st turn, 1-6, and Castle + secondary Rampart + Elves there
2nd turn, secondary Castle + Capitol
4th turn, I attack, and when taking the castle, I see that I need to pay a tribute, which I do
After 2 weeks, I attack again, and Tazar is level 14-20-9-9, 18th level
27 Wyverns - 2 Angels - 7 Hydras - 41 Dryads - 41 Basilisks - 68 Lizards - 19 Gorgons
They win...

Thank you for the game.

Initially, I used both restarts. I found the mine with wood towards the end of the 3rd week: the lack of Champions had to be compensated for with weak knights. Week 1: 1-4 + Castle. A Barbarian secondary town was discovered. Week 2: Capitol and Monks. A Magistrate was found in the secondary town. Week 3: Riders. I discovered a Utopia but didn't go there. I accidentally attacked an army of demons with a hero. This mistake later cost me the victory. A stable was found three turns away from the city, and two hidden locations – knights and monks. Also, a Griffin roost was found – 1 Angel. The enemy arrived, and I lost all my soldiers, although after his retreat, I still had some resources left. The enemy hero was superior in all parameters. The only thing I could oppose was the castle walls, but the enemy's second attack was marked by a large number of Dendroids, Hydras, Wyverns, and ballistae, which decided the outcome of the battle. Valeska 12-8-3-6 had no chance. Unfortunately, the opponent captured the cities earlier, had a larger number of them, and a larger territory for leveling up. I was cornered by him in a corner of the map. I fought to the last, the enemy lost some units during the assault, but not significantly. Thank you for the game, and most importantly, for the experience – procrastination is like death. 1-1 in matches.
P.S. And by the way, he had not 2, but three Angels!

Decontaminator (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Gosha) def Loi (red, Fortress, Valeska, Fyuur) 2sm4d(3) 117
Loi used all his restarts. I had one restart left, around 113. I spawned at the top, immediately hid skeletons, and scouted. I could see my entire respawn area and half of the red respawn area, which also had scouting – he could also see half of my respawn area))). Well, I thought, I'll darken everything for him later))). On day 116, Gosha, an expert in necromancy, started with basic earth magic and 153 skeletons. The next day, I planned to increase the number of skeletons to 200+ and break through to adjacent secondary locations. On day 117, Fyuur lost in the gnome battle; it was playable, but the pace was significantly slowed down, and the red team surrendered. Too bad. The opponent had very good chances.
Thank you for the game and the experience.

Decontaminator (blue, Necro, Galtran, Gosha) def Loi (red, Castle, Valeska, Fiu) 2sm4d(3) 117
................
Thanks for the game and the experience.

It happened. In this game, I frankly and shamelessly tried to manipulate the respawn, deciding that chances would exist only up to and including 127. I set a pace for myself that I couldn't maintain, partly due to the respawn, partly due to execution. At 113 — secondary Tower, then the Griffin Conservatory was scouted at 3-4, a Pandora's Box for 5000, two crypts. At 117 — pushed to the limit, I decided to set up a Castle with Cavalry, and after buying them out, I unwisely decided to extort money from the Gnomes (20 each). The Gnomes objected. :). After the wipe, I could forget about rushes and raids on the second, and I had no desire to wait for a 3-4 stack of Skeletons (or hope for a free opponent mistake). Conclusion — you cannot completely force circumstances. With Cavalry in the Stronghold, a struggle was also possible; in that regard, my opponent is right.
Thanks to the opponent for the game.

Javdet (blue, Inferno, Kalkh, Kirry) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Inferno, Ignat, Ignat) 2sm4d(3) 2.1.3
We played full random. Used all restarts. On the last one, we were dealt identical castles. I spawned at the bottom; there is a Magog external dwelling and a Devil external dwelling, but they are guarded by up to 100 clay golems. I placed Efreets, but didn't have enough for the Stronghold. On week 1.2.1 of Efreets, I break through upwards and take the Elf secondary resource. By the end of the week, I clear the Devil external dwelling, but I can't buy them — I placed a Castle. On 1.3.1 I take two "cans" (caches) at 10 and 20, a hive of 8 Vivnevians, and go to another secondary resource. I open the caches and trees. On 1.4.5 I take one Dragon Utopia, on 1.4.7 the second — loot: Fire book, helmet for knowledge, and boots of levitation + some trinkets. In Pandora, I got all level 5s. The new week brought a general plague. I spot the red player in the underground passage and rush home, but I didn't dare hole up in the castle — I had no mana, and I couldn't figure out my opponent's speed skills. I enter the well and make the stupidest mistake — I go to the fort on the hill. After that, they loaded a save where the armies were in their previous compositions: Ignat 10-8-7-4, 76 Magogs, 19 Efreets, 9 Angels, 27 Demons, Imps and men with whips. Kirry 17-12-13-10, 12 Efreets, 5 Angels, a Devil, 16 Vivnevians etc. I attacked the castle with 210 mana. Pasha hoped for anti-magic and resistance, but on turn 4 I use expert dispel magic and gradually blow up his troops. Confirmation is at Pasha's discretion, as I admit that I violated the rules.
Thanks for the game.

Confirmation at Pasha's discretion, as I admit that I violated the rules.
Thank you for the game.

I confirm!

Although Roman violated the rules, he did so, as I am convinced, not intentionally, and it did not matter, so I confirm.

Thank you for the game!

yachsmit (red, Stronghold, Dessa) vs max395 (blue, Fortress, Korvak) L+U 2sm4d(3)

We played with full random settings.

I won. My hero, with a well-developed main logistics skill and a fully purchased army, quickly traversed the entire map, and although the opponent captured the secondary town earlier, he surrendered due to the overwhelming strength.

Thanks for the game, we'll play again tomorrow!

yachsmit (red, Stronghold, DESSA) vs max395 (blue, Fortress, Korvak) L+U 2sm4d(3)

I confirm!!!
The victory was inevitable due to several critical mistakes at the beginning.
Thanks for the game!!
I hope for a rematch in tomorrow's game.

Alex_R (Rampart Kir) def Smoke_mk (Barbarian Gundula) 1-4-1
Standard rules
At 1-1-7, cavalry in the Stronghold. Scouted 2 cans and one in line of sight and a Dragon Utopia near the Castle ...
On the second week, I took the minimum can and ran to seek adventure ... didn't risk the other 2 cans on the grass - as without an upgraded stack there could have been 200 griffins ...
Took Necro secondary, dove into the portal - dealt with the scout, cleared 2 medusa nests and ran into the basement ...
On the 3rd week, Inferno secondary and fighting my way back home from the other side; took both cans (5 angels) and hit Capitol and Dragons.
At 1-4-1 I take Barbarian secondary and the opponent surrenders ... thx for the game.

Alex_R (Rampart Kir) def Smoke_mk (Barbarian Gundula) 1-4-1
Confirmed. Empty respawn point, with some gold and crystals here and there. On turn 121, there were behemoths with a castle and 15 birds. I lost everything after attacking a horde of Cerberuses (morale failed). After the battle, I had 5 birds and 2 behemoths left. I surrendered because the red player had a troop advantage (angels) and was twice as strong in terms of stats...

scorp (red, Necropolis, Galthran) def Cheri@ (blue, Necropolis, Thant) 2SM4d(s), 160%, 123

We played according to agreed-upon rules (almost without any).
The respawn point was terrible, smaller than the hero's vision range, and there was only one wood mine, with the rest blocked by 5-9 undead dragons (no more restarts). I had to break through from the metro on the first turn, and on top, there were 20-49 mages. Luckily, I built magic on the second turn and got a speed boost there (lost 38 skeletons). On turn 117, there were vampires in the citadel + their ambush (on the opponent's respawn point, as it turned out) + secondary units (elves). On turn 121, I entered his empty castle. On turn 123, Cheri@ gave me the victory.

Thank you for the game.

Alex_R (blue Dungeon/Shakti) def Smoke_mk (Castle Valesko) 2-2-x (basically very long)
Same rules, just swapped colors and reset the castle flags (attempted rematch)
Shakti came with 100+ Troglodytes by himself, and gave 2!!! native heroes with a stack of Troglodytes around 40 ... basically on the first day Shakti had 190 upgraded Troglodytes :smile10:
On day 1 I take 2 of the 4 crypts, both almost maxed - but since it's on dirt + without setup - 15-20 Troglodytes lost :smile48:
On day 1-1-7 Shakti level 8, external dwelling of Beholders and Troglodytes in native secondary 1-3 monsters in fort, in his own 1-4 with castle (decided that Liontaurs in Stronghold are worse than 1-4 in castle)
On second week another external dwelling of Troglodytes, Medusas and a thousand in secondary and 1-6 in his own castle ... just wasted a week gathering nothing, only spent money on Troglodytes and heroes (nearly 250 of them).
On 3rd week secondary of Barbarian, cleared a bit of money, own Capitol in secondary 2000 and citadel I think.
On 4th week I stop fattening up - run to Dragon Utopia and build a chain ... somewhere on 1-4-4 I take over 400+ Troglodytes, about 80 Evil Eyes, 14 Scorpicores and 3x1 Harpies for distraction (in castle 4 levels of magic - I have expert earth and resurrection scroll :smile13: ) I only lose 3 Harpies, one Dragon Utopia on 4 Black Dragons, the next day I take another max Dragon Utopia (tea pot +6 to all, cuirass of titan, boots +15% resistance, book of fire and water, necklace +3 to all and necklace +3 morale and luck) Shakti became roughly 31-22-25-13 on 1-4-7 in both Dungeons dragons in castle + Troglodytes in portal + mushroom ring (+7 Troglodytes per week :) )
On the second month I go with 27 Scorpicores 600 Troglodytes 170 Evil Eyes 67 Queen Medusas 94 gr Harpies to hit ГО 9 Archangels and 29 Angels, about fifty Troglodytes lost on grass oh well ...
I take empty capital - and Valzka was everything up to 10 - now 18-20-12-11 (took Dragon Utopia)
Chase began - didn't bring anything from castle because money ran out - slowly dragged troops to capital - but didn't transfer them ...
After about 10 days of chase the opponent attacks himself 14 Archangels 21 Champion and a single Air Elemental.
Explosion took 200 Troglodytes out of 600 - I cast slow and shoot down 4 Archangels ... in the second round blind on Archangel and -16 Champions ... Scorpicores reflect the explosion and opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game
P.S. Too bad about 40 roughly King Minotaurs and 10 almost Black Dragons never joined the fight ... not to mention the constantly arriving population of other monsters.
90 000 gold from two Dragon Utopias - seems cool - but with two Dungeons it gets spent quickly.

scorp(red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Tyraxor) def Kebazavr (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4d(s) , 160 % , 133

From the first turn, I revealed an external dwelling of Behemoths. I attack with Gurnisson on upgraded Zombies with 25 Wolves, but they didn't give me any push, I only lost two. I opened the tree of vision — it turned out there wasn't just one, but 2 external dwellings of Bears + 1 of Birds + 1 of Ogres + 1 of Goblins, and I saw a Dragon Utopia on my own respawn. Since I had no push, I didn't risk it and stayed at 117 with 1-7 without the 6th in the Castle. On the respawn there were 4 Dwarf Cottages and 1 Naga Bank (a three), and a Conservatory (1 Angel). I killed all external dwellings by week 2. By 131 I'm standing in the Dragon Utopia (1 or 2 Black Dragons), waiting for meat delivery (turned out to be a penny — lucky). Next turn I attack with Tyraxor, level 7, stats 7 6 1 2, Expert Offense and Tactics, Earth magic. 1 Angel (thought about taking it or not, but since I had little meat, I took it and it helped), 7 Bears, 12 Birds, and 100+1+1+1 Goblins. I came out with 6 Bears — fought mostly for the money. They gave me Boots of Water Walking, a Sword +3, and a Breastplate +4. On the same turn I move toward the enemy and speed up with 1+1+1+1+1+1 upgraded Goblins (in case he attacks, I gave away artifacts just in case). I skip a turn and a miracle happens — the blue boss Valeska stops right in front of me, stats 6 10 4 2, Expert Leadership and Offense, ranged improvement, Air and Tactics, basic Logistics, 45 upgraded Archers, 4 Champions, 4 Horses, 1+16 Wyverns, 5 Monks, and a Golden Bow. I attack with Tyraxor, stats 12 6 5 2, Expert Earth, 10 Behemoths, 7 Thunderbirds, 35 Orcs, 41 Wolves, 20 Ogres, 1+1 upgraded Goblin. The battle was won.

Thanks for the game.

It happened. A loss due to the setup. Though I was a bit delayed by two days, I would have caught up otherwise, and the opponent would have had no money left for the finish.

Added after 10 minutes
scorp(red, Rampard, Ivor, Kyrre) def Kebazavr (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4d(s) , 160 % , 122

Second game. At 113, a native secondary town with a cleared external dwelling of Elves. At 116, another secondary town (Conflux) — scouts from it revealed the passage to the blue player. At 117, Elves + Wood Elves in both towns with a Citadel + Pegasi in one. At 121, I speed up Kyrre (level 4). Next turn I transferred the army (spent all resources on 3 markets): 56 Grand Elves, 14 Wood Elves, 11 Pegasi, 71+1+1+1 Centaurs. Along the way, I cleared a Pandora's Box for 10000 experience with 83 Water Elementals and attacked Valeska with 45 upgraded Crossbowmen and 1+1+1+1+1+1 Pikemen. The outcome of the battle was obvious, and he conceded victory to me.

Thanks for the game.

But here, the opponent's setup turned out even harsher. Everything he did was what I had planned to do on the second week after taking two Conservatories. So he left me no chance to win. Thanks for the game.
