Sir RetroFM (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Sir OUTLAW (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 126 2sm4d(3)

I confirm.
Although I spawned on top, the layout was rotten...
I broke through the block to the grass (Conflux), and the terrain there was so awkward that there was nowhere to go — the only passages from the castle were blocked by hordes of shooter mobs. The chain takes Shakti's army and pushes deep into the respawn towards the crypts. But what are Troglodytes without daddy's support (+2 speed and such :D ), half the Troglodytes were worn down (even their 2 external dwellings didn't help). I recruited Minotaurs with a shield, money 0.0222 $ :D
On the grass respawn, right on the road there's a portal (clearly to the main castle of the blue player, no doubt about it). Well, nothing to be done, I give it a try...
I upgrade the shooting army at home and air elementals in Conflux, a few were bought out, immediately sent via chain to break through for some crumbs of gold. Shakti just stands (like a ram at the gate) at the portal waiting for a momentum boost.
A day passes... need to buy more troops...
A second passes... well, a few more units...
And then Kyrre shows up and I get thrashed :smile52: I could have run, but the money is again 0.0222+/-0.000001 $ and Shakti can't even buy anything...
and the army, standing nearby, wouldn't have made it to my own castle either...
Finish
Thanks for the brief torment :D

OUTLAW (red, Castle, Tyris, Tyris) vs sir RetroFM (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack), 1-1-4, 2sm4d(3)
The opponent used all restarts, I had 113 left.
The start was good — I have Archers in the castle + Sharpshooters from the native town + 6 Elves from another, roads are fast (1st to a secondary town on grass, there I also see the edge of a Dragon Utopia :smile44: , 2nd to the portal, 3rd to GO). I head straight to the portal, end up on a swamp adjacent zone, Fortress is privatized, a scout hero rushes for reconnaissance. Meanwhile, another hero spotted 3 crypts on native soil, the main hero rushes there. Then news arrives of Crag Hack losing at the Griffin Conservatory (1). The offered autosave is refused.
Thank you for the time spent together.

Vigo (blue,Necropolis,Galtran) def Decontaminator (red,Swamp,Bron) 2sm4d(3) 222

The start is underground and poor, but I see three passages. The fast road led to the surface to my own secondary town and a Dragon Utopia; I didn't take a rest, even though skeletons were melting before my eyes despite all this breakthrough...
Perhaps an unlucky layout for the opponent allowed me to take three cons in different parts of the map and acquire 4 castles. Income is stable, home towns are built up, Galtran is a logistician. In the middle of week 4, there's a Dragon Utopia two-slot: sword +5 everything, cuirass +12 magic and some same stuff with money. At the start of week 5 - a second Dragon Utopia. They give earth and water books, and a teapot... The necros have nearly a thousand bones; the outcome of the battle is predetermined.

Thanks for the game.

Pit - for the sake of LM (red, Rampart, Kairie) defeats Foman (blue, Castle, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 144. The start was successful - the heroes brought 11 elves with them, and I spotted their hideout near the castle. On day 111, Kairie, with 25 elves, breaks through to the second city (Conflux) and captures it on day 113. In the first week, I gather resources and build unicorns and a castle in the capital. In the second week, I find and capture a unicorn hideout. On day 127, I wanted to take the Conservatory, but it turned out to have 3-4 angels. I wait one day, and on day 131, the angels are mine. I immediately take a hive with 6 wyverns, then an axe +2, shackles of war, and a helmet +4. I replenish mana in the Conflux and build a second level there, gaining the Blindness spell. Then, another Conservatory with 3 angels. On day 136, I descend underground. There, I take a hive with 6 wyverns, a Pandora's Box with 20 sharpshooters, sandals of the saint +2 to all stats, another hive with 6 wyverns, a shield +6, a Pandora's Box with 10,000 experience, a Pandora's Box with 15 trolls, a Pandora's Box with 20 sharpshooters, and a hive with 4 wyverns. In the capital, I build dragons, but they didn't participate in the battle - I didn't have enough money to buy them, and I didn't see a particular need for them (Kairie was (13, 19, 16, (35)) with an army of 20 wyverns, 6 angels, 40 sharpshooters, 51 high elves, 13 unicorns, and 15 trolls, while Valeska was significantly behind in the tavern (8, 6, 3, 7)). On day 143, Kairie emerges from underground near the opponent's secondary city. The opponent goes to Utopia, loses troops there, doesn't get anything particularly valuable, and surrenders. Thank you for the game.

The start was not bad, and the respawn was good. In the first week, I had cavalry in the castle, a hidden archer lair, and a hidden swordsman lair. At the beginning of the second week, I built a secondary dungeon and found Utopia. I stayed on my territory for too long, saw three Ulysses, artifacts, and Pandora boxes in the dungeon, but I was too slow, and my opponent punished me for it, taking everything. I thought I could make up for it by taking Utopia, but that didn't happen, and I lost all my strength! Alas. I surrendered!

Thank you for the game!

Sir OUTLAW (red, Castle, Tyrus, Tyrus) vs. Sir RetroFM (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack), 1-1-4, 2sm4d(3) I used all the restarts. I restarted... Archers everywhere... No dwellings... mountains everywhere... I'm not that much of a fan of fighting for the rating until the very end))) :smile15: Thanks for the game.

Vigo (red, Rampart, Kirr) def Deemer (blue, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 213 6 elves with a hero from the tavern allowed me to easily take 1-6 with a castle. In the second battle, they stood their ground. In the third, global scouting and money (+ a secondary resource). In the fourth, I take the Earth book from the group of Hydras, scouted the Utopia (maximum level, by the way), run around the treasure area, level up, and wait for reinforcements. At the beginning of the fifth, I take the Utopia (Air book and teapot, the rest is minor, although it's a maximum level...). Well, after that, you can't stand against Kirrush with two books. Thank you for the game.

Thank you for the game.

On turn 111, no lizards are built. The second hero also has no lizards. Bron has 6 wasps. Sorug brought 6 orcs. We place flies, and Terek clears the road. We see cons, a hidden cow. Okay, if it doesn't work out, we'll take rest113. On turn 112, we build wasps, and Terek clears the guard of the con - a level 2 creature, a secondary unit is visible through the scouting, the passage is guarded by up to 50 hellhounds and up to 50 elves. On turn 113, we upgrade the flies, and the secondary unit is upgraded; it's a bit difficult with the gold; a hidden cow and a pandora are guarded by up to 50 vivs.
Results of week 1. +1000, 1-4, upgrade flies, market house, 1-4, market in the secondary unit.
On turn 126, Terek is defeated by the vivs -22 wasps, 35 lizards, and some minor units. We could have surrendered. I tried to catch up, hoping that things wouldn't go well for my opponent. But everything was going very well for him.
On turn 147, Terek is defeated in the utopia. Capitulation.
Thank you for the game and the experience.

6 elves with a hero from the tavern allowed me to easily win 1-6 with a Castle. In the second battle, we clashed. In the third, I focused on global scouting and gathering resources (+ a secondary resource). In the fourth, I took the Earth book from a group of Hydras, scouted the Utopia (maximum difficulty!), ran around the treasure area, leveled up, and waited for reinforcements. At the beginning of the fifth, I took the Utopia (Air book and teapot, the rest is minor, although it's maximum difficulty...). And after that, you can't stand against Kirrush with two books.
Thanks for the game.

Damn... We need to ban these books))) Because it's a cheat...
Thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def smoke_mk (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(4), 1.4.2.

In the first week - Unicorns in the Stronghold. Kent's ambush, secondary Fortress.

In the second week - secondary Tower and Fortress.

In the third week - three Cons (4-3-3), in the Fortresses - Wyverns and in the Castles. Elf's ambush taken.

On 1.4.1, I'm facing the Grand Order (5-9 Rusty Dragons).

On the next turn, I receive a message about Valeska's surrender.

Thank you for the game!

During the first week, everyone except the dragons in the Castle was spotted; the external dwelling of pegasi and grands was taken, and there were 2 naga-banks not far from the castle. The respawn is large, so I only broke through to the secondary underground on the 2nd week, near the entrance of which was a Dragon Utopia, and near the necromancer's secondary was a second Dragon Utopia, 2 cans, and a library. On the second week, I take the naga-banks, finish clearing the respawn, and wait in a can for 3 angels. On 131, I take it, the hive with 6 vives, the external dwelling of buratinos, and then spent the whole third week fooling around, afraid to enter the Dragon Utopia because I had no armor and parameters were 4-9, and not much money to buy one-time meat. On 141, I take two Dragon Utopias in a row — the same-level and higher-level ones; they gave a sword +5 to all, shield +4 to all, helmet +12/-3, book of fire, golden bow, and resist boots. The next day I take the can, visit the library, take Pandora's box with 25 evil eyes, refill mana, and hit ГО on 144 (24 red+6 black dragons). On the same turn, I run into the opponent's empty castle and he capitulates.
Thanks for the game!

Dreamcatcher (Swamp, Tazar) def Foman (Rampart, Kirr) 1-3-3, 2sm4d(3)

Respawn in the center. Quickly captured a secondary Castle. Defended against the cows' lair, but didn't risk taking it – not enough meat. By the end of the week, I built cows and geese with a Stronghold. At the beginning of the second week, I took the lair, and eliminated a goose there. Scouts cleared another grassy secondary, the opponent's native one, and gathered money. There, a scout exchange with the opponent took place. Tazar takes a +4 sword and a +4 shield. He breaks through two more paths to the stones. Two scouts are sent there to collect money. At home, they become hydras with a Castle. The third week – immediately a Capitol, and then an upgrade to cows. Tazar eats a Pandora – 5 kilobytes of gold. The levels are almost the same as Kirr's on average. I buy geese and wasps, and head towards the treasury. Then, I receive news of the surrender.
Thank you for the game!

PS The map was generated with rare glitches; the Guardian of Order was not on the path, but not even on a passage at all! 5-9 mythical dragons guarded someone in the mountains :smile32:
