Alex_R (blue, Dungeon/Shakti) def. Smoke_mk (Castle Valesco) 2-2. Confirmed. In three utopias, they just gave it to him :smile18: and that's how he lost... Thanks for the game.

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

We played according to agreed-upon rules (almost without any).
The resource spawn 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 underground 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 resource spawn, as it turned out) + a secondary force (elven). On turn 121, I entered his empty castle. On turn 123, Cheri@ gave me the victory.

Thank you for the game.

Confirmed. The map was not good; there was no mine at all, at least I couldn't find one. + I didn't expect such a quick arrival of the opponent; it was surprising.
Thank you for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Inferno, Zidar) def Javdet (Red, Castle, Pasis), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.4.
We played with full random settings, after several restarts, and I spawned at the top.
On the first map - Iffits in the Castle with Broodlings, 4 Imp nests.
On the second map, I got a secondary Necropolis and a secondary Fortress.
On the third map, Devils and an Iffit nest.
On the fourth map - 2 Confluxes (1+3), a Library.
On 1.4.4, the news came that Roma had lost.
Thanks for the game!

I confirm... It wasn't worth leveling up Moner; he was slow, and his logistics were only in the 5th slot, especially since there was also Orrin. And when I built the Restoration and the city-portal out of excitement, I went where I shouldn't have.

Thanks for the game....

Game within the "Clan Wars: on-line" tournament

scorp (blue, Necropolis, Galthran) def Blackpoint (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack) 2SM4d(s) , 160 % , 131

111 - opened all guards of adjacent territories, the easiest to break through was 20-49 fire elementals + 20-49 grand elves - decided to fight for the Pandora's Box under 20-49 upgraded fire elementals, if they give something worthwhile - we'll continue, they gave 30 witches, not bad I guess, but lost about 80 skeletons, took the rest 111. Even worse, I take another rest 113.
Started. Then such adrenaline kicked in, such a sight I saw - plague: spawned in the metro, one road with 50-99 lizards on it, I think I'll go through the respawn anyway, somewhere, there at the exit 50-99 fire elementals, and what to do I ask, I build magic - no Haste, I build level 2 - no Blind :smile54: , well, I gather 93 skeletons and hit the archers, 50 skeletons left on turn 115. 116 secondary Dungeon. 117 in native 1,2,4 in the fort, in secondary a mushroom ring (+7 Troglodytes). 123 I surface. On turn 125 I have 2 angels +100 +100 skeletons (regular and upgraded) and right then Crag Hack kills my scout, he has 9221 2 behemoths, 2 or 1 bird, 38+1+1+1 goblins, I go straight to him, and he instead goes to take the money it seems (as if I'm not even on the map). Turn 127 I attack his Stronghold (without him) there are 4 birds, 11 wolves and 3 dogs, I speed up with the angels, Crag Hack headed towards my castles but moves slowly - I attacked with 5624 2 angels, 2 behemoths, 6 birds, 113 of each skeleton and experience ground - victory.

Thanks for the game.

I took both restarts, and each time I encountered Dungeon. A hero with archers appeared, and he ambushed some demons, but that didn't help – on the road, many groups of Golems guarded the Amulet of the Sea, and I didn't risk attacking them with 26 Golems, Imps, and 8 Demons.
And there was nowhere to get money, so I only managed to recruit some Ifrits. On 1.2.4, I exchanged all resources for gold, upgraded the Golems (I really didn't want to do this), cleared 38 Golems, and the next day, I took my secondary town.
I noticed that my opponent also had a secondary town.
Then, I took the Orb of the Earth from a group of Griffins, which ultimately decided the outcome of the game. The guild has Flight, Portal, and Meteor Shower. On 2.2.1, I take Utopian – it has a +6 Kettle and a Golden Bow, and I find a Scroll of Explosion.
On 2.2.3, we meet: Peer has 16-14-15-12, 54 Demons, 13 Golems, 80 Imps, some minor units + Tactics, and Tazar has 18-8-8-8, 43 Griffins, 6 Angels, 90 Snakes, 15 Gorgons, and about a hundred Lizards. Tactics and the Explosion in 2025 decided everything.

Thank you for the game.

invisible (red, Conflux, random, Gelare, Nila) def vbn (blue, Conflux, random, Labetha, Ignissa) 137 2sm4d(3)
Vitalik took both restarts, while I took none. We started - roads were slow, but gold and resources were decent; I scouted 2 external air elemental dwellings, so I decided to play. On the first day, 6 heroes scattered in all directions. The respawn was big, about a quarter of the map, so there was plenty of room to run. I scouted two Griffin Conservatories and one Hive, as well as a Shield +4 and a Cloak +2/2 Attack/Knowledge. By the end of the week, gold quickly ran out, and it turned out I couldn't build Phoenixes :(, and I had already set my heart on them. Oh well, I built a Citadel instead, along with Psychic Elementals. I never left the respawn during the week; all 7 heroes were level 1, except for Ciele, who was a whopping level 2 :). On day 121, Nila, with a few Sprites and 34 Storm Elementals, started grinding hard: she took the Cloak +2/2, captured a Dwarf Cottage with 75 Dwarves, and got Earth magic :smile20:. Then she broke into the underground, scouted a minimal Griffin Conservatory there :smile23:, but with an upgraded stack; since it was underground, she didn't get first strike and Storm Elementals couldn't dominate. I took secondary Necromancy, replenished mana there, and took a minimal Dwarf Cottage nearby. Hooray, Earth is already Expert, and Slow is available. I built Phoenixes for first strike, brought them up, took the Conservatory, and transferred troops to Ciele in another part of the respawn, who was just waiting for it - she broke through the Masters of the Sword guarding the entrance to the secondary zone, and judging by the external dwelling of Earth Elementals, my home zone too :). She gave an Angel to Halon, who went to capture it, while she herself went to take the Shield behind the wood. Meanwhile, Nila retreated to her home castle, replenished mana, and ran to the second Conservatory and the Hive. While she was running there, Ciele transferred troops and artifacts to her via chain. On day 131, Nila fought through an Orc horde guarding a Pandora's Box with 5k experience (gave Logistics, which was immediately Expert), took an Imp dwelling, defeated an Orc Medusa horde, took a weak Conservatory, a Hive with 6 Wyverns, visited the Stable, and retreated back to the castle. The chain returned to her, having earned a bit more gold along the way. Ciele ran to reinforce Halon, who, having bought 12 Air Elementals, a few Sprites, and an Angel, took a couple of Crypts; Ciele took another one. Meanwhile, Nila stood near the Dwarf Cottage waiting for the troops to return. A Pathfinder in the underground found a Rogue den and carefully watched how things were going for Blue: their army power was lower - already pleasing. Gelare and Tamika ran back and forth, visiting mills and bringing Air Elementals from the external dwellings. Finally, the troops were with Nila; she defeated the max Dwarf Cottage, took the third Conservatory (a level 2 one) on day 135, and began to think: should she hit the ГО (Scorpicores, and besides, it was out of the way) or go to the adjacent Barbarian secondary zone controlled by Blue? I chose the latter, because with the rough terrain I probably wouldn't make it by the end of the third week (a good choice, since it would have taken a week to run from the ГО to Ignissa's main castle). My income was already around 4500; I didn't build a Capitol because I felt a clash was coming soon. Meanwhile, Halon found another Conservatory, but I decided I'd take it only if they forced me back, as I didn't want to lose momentum. I broke through the Marksmen, scouted the area, and saw the Blue castle, which I reached on day 137. I had 68 Storm Elementals, 6 Birds, 6 Angels, 9 Psychic Elementals, 25 Ice Elementals, and a few Sprites. I immediately spotted the edge of a Blue flag, bought Mulich (dismissing Halon beforehand - it was a pity, but he had served his purpose), gave him part of the army so he could kill Blue's scout... But then Vitalik surrendered. Near that scout stood Ignissa with 3 Birds, while all of Vitalik's Psychic Elementals and Storm Elementals had been devoured by Black Dragons and Archangels, on which he was losing anyway.
Thanks for the game!

invisible (red, Conflux, random, Gelar, Nila) def vbn (blue, Conflux, random, Labeta, Ignissa) 137 2sm4d(3)

Yes, that happened. All I know how to do is lose... I attack whoever I want, and I end up getting beaten. It all started with those boosted pegasi.

Javdet (blue, Castle, Valeska, Christian, and Deemer) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 1.1.6

The map had a lot of money, gold piles, and chests with strong guards, although at the start, there were only 30 units protecting the archers. Ostap got so carried away that he risked pairing Deemer with his father and sacrificing 6 chests to him. On 1.1.5, he had 0-0-7-3 with advanced intelligence and earth, and a castle with horses, with a promising outlook. On 1.1.6, Pasha lost. :(

Thank you for the game.

Aldegir (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Lider1 (red, Dungeon, Gunar, Gunar) 2sm4d(3) 226 -- Everything mentioned above is true. Thank you for the game.

Decontaminator (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Loi (blue, Castle, Valeska, Piers) 2sm4d(3) 143
Respected Loi used a restart on D1. Spawned at the top, immediately 150+ Troglodytes.
On week 1: +1000, D1-D5 in the home Citadel, +1000, Wyverns in the secondary Swamp. Took a Crypt, a Dwarf Treasury with 75 Dwarves, scouted 5 Crypts, an Imp Cache, a Naga Bank, a Dragon Utopia, 2 Griffin Conservatories. A Gate Outpost on the roadless terrain, and a shifted one at that))). Took a Sawmill only on D15, then another one, and took the Ore Mines only on week 2. Due to these bugs, I built nothing on D14(((.
On week 2: Marketplace, Mage Guild, Minotaur upgrade and home Castle, Marketplace, Mage Guild, upgrade Griffins, upgrade Hatchlings, Citadel in the secondary. Took 2 Crypts, a Naga Bank – minimum payout, a Griffin Conservatory – Tier 3, an 8-Wyvern Hive. All thanks to oil with a shot glass))).
On week 3: upgrade Gorgons, Mage Guild level 2, +2000, Mana Vortex at home, Capitol, upgrade Hatchlings, in the secondary. Took 4 Crypts, an Imp Cache, a Griffin Conservatory – Tier 3, a Dragon Utopia – minimum payout (gave Boots of Speed, Shield of the Damned, Endless Sack of Gold, Breastplate of Pettyfer), obtained a Resurrection scroll, Shackles of War.
On D41, took a Breastplate of Pettyfer, built Mage Guild level 3. On D42, Shakti takes the empty blue Tower via Teleport and sits there praying. Using Marketplaces, troops are bought and chains are built. Shakti's prayers are heard))), Piers kills a scout hero and fails to reach the Tower. On D43, again using Marketplaces, Mage Guild level 4 is built, the Miner is supplied with additional troops and he attacks, although it would have been more correct to run and shake the scouted Hives and level up Air Magic to Expert.
Respected Loi will describe the FF better. Generally, he should have rushed even earlier, and in the FF, cemented the Marksmen, used Oil and disable, spending mana economically.
Thanks for the game and the experience.
