Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Loi (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Bronhild), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.7.

Ivor, that scoundrel, came without Elves, but the 3 Roads and a decent-sized Respawn were pleasing, so I played.
At the Respawn there was an external dwelling for Wood, which I cleared by week 3.

In the first week — I took the Maximum Crypt, a secondary hero from Dungeon, the Gauntlets of the Horseman, and upgraded up to Unicorns in the Castle.

In the second week — I took a Necro secondary hero, the Pre-Maximum Crypt, a Medusa Den for 4 Medusas, and upgraded to Little Dragons.

In the third week — I took a Naga Bank for 4 Nagas, two Dwarf Cottages for 20 and 15, and upgraded Green Dragons to Gold.

On 1.4.2. I attack ГО (70+ Death Knights), and on 1.4.3. I take Valera's Capital. I didn't linger and set out towards the secondary hero, but never reached it (it was thrown very far away).

On 1.4.7. Valera congratulates me on the victory.

Thanks to Valera for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Loi (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Broghild), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.7.

Confirmed. Further down the road (4.5 days' journey along the road :)), towards the secondary Rampart, on the third day of the journey, I was met successively by a horde of upgraded Medusas and a horde of Pegasuses; the alternative was a swamp, but I had already gone too far. I started attacking; no, 4 horses, griffins, and pikemen. There, I spotted a Utopia in a treasure, and somewhere behind it, a hidden Angels' lair. Pasha was ahead of me in development; he opened, I think, two Crypts in 2 weeks from the money-generating buildings. The last chance was to level up a special Wyvern specialist and go into the treasure with guests – hoping for control and flying around in hidden spots, and also around the hives. That's what happened at the beginning of the 4th day – but in the Utopia, I got: boots of levitation, a helmet +12 to knowledge, and a bag of gold (1000!), plus 40,000. I emerged with 30 + Corgriffs and, with a clear conscience, gave the well-deserved victory to Pasha. I think I did everything I could – it just didn't work out, oh well. :)
Thanks to Pasha for the game.

Paladin@heroes.by (red,Rampart,Kyrre,Kyrre) def RetroFM(blue,Castle,Valeska,Dessa), 2sm4d(3),131

SoD again...
Kyrre found native secondary on 112, with Pikeman + Citadel build there, at home Cavalier + Citadel
on 122 I was ready to storm the Dwarven Treasury Griffin Conservatory, but scouting reported max stats, Boss backed down
126 +2 Angels, and Dessa showed up on the horizon with all her might )
127 Dessa takes my secondary, and with her scout hero my main town, but time apparently ran out — 8 Wyverns, 3 Angels, 8 Grand Elves, 16 Harpies, 4 Champions at the scout hero's town, and Dessa nearby with Marksmen.
131 Dessa runs away, and then the town fell, well time and position played in my favor, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do...
Thanks for the rush ))

Thanks for the game. I also confirm another game with the same lineup in which I died on 136 in a max stat Utopia. So

0 - 2 in Paladin's favor .

When Dessa was one step short of the Castle :eek: I didn't even know what to do... I should have left all the troops with Dessa... No one to blame but myself :smile39:

Best regards, Evgeny .

invisible (red, dungeon, Shakhter, Shakhter) def AndreyN (blue, swamp, Westan, Vestan) 126 2sm4d(3)
Took all my restarts and spawned underground with 2 stacks, but my native hero was a harpy specialist :(. Broke through to the inferno secondary, where I revealed a sword +2/2. On the first week, minotaurs with nothing + troglodyte growth + two troglodyte external dwellings taken. On day 121, Shakti kills 85 fire elementals for a pandora's box, which gave 30 harpies, then kills 50+ basilisks for 5k experience. On the second week, 2 native heroes arrived, so troglodytes became 220. I break through to the grass, where I free a level 5 vampire specialist, revealing the blue flag. Meanwhile, Mullich with 2 gr. necromancer knights from the camp takes the sword +2/2. On the next turn, I give the sword to Shakti, and he, with all troops bought in the native town except medusae, takes the max conservatory:eek:. The troglodytes suffered anti-morale once, and I thought the GG had arrived. I emerged with 74 troglodytes, but at least there are 4 angels, Shakti at level 12. We kill each other's scouts, and on the same turn, Andrey forfeits in the conservatory.
Thanks for the game!

Sir RetroFM (red, Kir, Kir) def. Sir Javdet
(blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska)

It’s enjoyable to play when Kir gets boots and gloves at the start. It used to be… Even taking one was a chore… Now, nothing is needed anymore))) There were 5 angel nests in the Inferno land. The expert Berserk was a pleasant surprise. But the applied expert antimagic and explosion (both from the Earth book) decided the outcome of the battle. It was nice to see a sacrifice (magic of sacrifice) of 90 pixies in 36 turns… But then an explosion and angels swept away this stack…
Thank you for the game.

Sincerely, Evgeny

Confirmed
And how pleased I was afterwards to see 2 elf artifacts, gloves with boots, and a bunch of drowned ones :)

Decontaminator (red, dungeon, random, Darkstorn, Terek) def Mizrael (blue, Inferno, random, Pyre, Pyre) 133 2sm4d(3)
We played all random. We chose all restarts.)))
We both spawned at the top. The second hero was Dimer, the 3rd Terek, the 4th Damacon. Harpies not built. We build Evil Eyes and Terek breaks through the blockers. We see that 3 roads lead to up to 50 elves, up to 50 Ice Maidens, GO. With 75 Troglodytes, 19 goblins, 1+1 harpies, and 10 Evil Eyes, we choose to break through to up to 50 dragonflies at the adjacent respawn via rough terrain, maybe the native secondary town.
End of week 1: 1-5 in the Citadel, +1000 at home, tavern, market, and Mage Guild in the Necro secondary town. Explored: Griffin Conservatory for 2-4 angels, 3 Medusa Dens, 2 crypts, Dwarf Cottage for 50 dwarves, Boots of Speed guarded by up to 50 mummies, gloves guarded by up to 100 dragonflies, Cape of Speed guarded by up to 100 nomads, passage to blue's respawn guarded by up to 20 mages. Daremyth freed with 5 gargoyles and 30 gremlins. Terek stands by the Dwarf Cottage on a gargoyle, nearby Darya with 59 trogs, 30 gremlins, 4 medusas, and 7 Evil Eyes. I decided if Shakti spawns, I'll fight with trogs, but if someone else, with skeletons. Actually, I was spitting mad when it turned out to be a non-native secondary town, as it turned out in vain.
On 121 we build the Converter, and Terek with 200+ skeletons easily takes the Dwarf Cottage and the Cape. Then we build Mage Guild 2 (need something to hit efreet with), take the external dwelling of skeletons, reclaim the Boots, take blue's capital and their secondary Conflux. At the end of the week, Pyre recaptures their capital. But on 131 Inferno is taken again and all growth is ours. On 133 Terek with 216 skeletons, 19 Evil Eyes, 3 efreet, 1+1+1+1 harpies storms the Necropolis secondary town, which Pyre had taken earlier. Superiority in meat and magic brought Terek victory.
Thanks for the game. Bad luck for the respected Mirazel with the layout.

Decontaminator (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Loi (red, Castle, Valeska, Valya) 135 2sm4d(3)
We chose all restarts. Ivor came with 10 elves, 2nd Kyrre with 5 elves.))) But on the only road, up to 20 gremlins guarded the Lightning Helm(((.
End of week 1: 1-6 in the Citadel, elf upgrade, +1000. Broke through the passage to the adjacent respawn where the external dwelling of hives was taken))). Took the crypt and the Dwarf Cottage minimal. No mines at all))) and no lookout towers(((.
End of week 2: +2000, pegasus upgrade, Castle at home, +1000, market, elves in the Citadel in the native secondary town. Scouting revealed that GO is on rough terrain, and I was afraid of a rush all the time. But the opponent had very bad finances, and Ivor managed to drag home by the end of the week, take out the gremlins, take the minimal Griffin Conservatory. The external market near the secondary town helped a lot.
On week 3, Kyrre on silver pegasi kills the lichs, takes blue's secondary town. And Ivor takes another Griffin Conservatory-minimal (which Valya almost reached))). On 135 FF. Valya, out of desperation, attacks Ivor and perishes.
Thanks for the game and the experience.

Decontaminator (red, Dungeon, random, Darkstone, Terek) def Mizrael (blue, Inferno, random, Peer, Peer) 133 2sm4d(3)

That happened once.

Decontaminator (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Loi (red, Castle, Valeska, Valya) 135 2sm4d(3)

Confirmed. The setup was boring; I spawned in the center and didn't even bother placing knights on the first turn. I didn't see Cons at all; Valya was around level five by the end of the second turn. I can't seem to escape these bad setups – I still haven't found a good class to play. In the Facebook game, due to the simultaneous online draw, I forgot to cast Mass Slow before my turn (not as an excuse for my weak play, but as an explanation), although it probably wouldn't have made a difference.
Thank you for the game.

RetroFM (blue, swamp, tank, tank) def Foman (red, rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 144 2sm4d(3)

Yes, the respawn was terrible, not a single unit and only consumables, and black knights blocked the road to the secondary base! Alas:smile05:
Thank you for the game!!!

scorp (red, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def. Decontaminator (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 134

On turn 113, he defended the resource (2-4). 117, 1-7 without witches in the castle. He lost 2 horses on turn 117 near the metro against 50-99 wolves (barbarian, with an improved stack - he didn't get lucky with the terrain). On turn 125, he saw Ivor (5522: up to 50 grand sprites, up to 50 centaurs, up to 9 horses, and up to 4 pegasuses) on his base, and there was a path bypassing the Guardian of the Castle with 20-49 medusas. On turn 127, Galtran (7453) + Clavius (2443) were heading towards Ivor from two sides. On the secondary path (Inferno) that Galtran used, Ivor almost lost in the resource, then stood with 1-4 grand sprites (4 stacks) and 2 stacks of 1-4 angels (more likely 1 each). On turn 133, Galtran gave his army to Clavius (because he was closer to the castle), and he retreated. 134, the assault on the capital:

Clavius 2543: 3 angels, 14 vivs, 2 bone dragons, 240 upgraded skeletons, 40 regular skeletons, and 6 liches

Ivor 7622: 2 angels, 27 grand sprites, 4 unicorns, and the rest in small numbers (no save)

In the first turn, almost all the elves were killed - Clavius won.

Thanks for the game!

scorp (red, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Decontaminator (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 134

117 1-7 without witches in the castle.

FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-7 in the castle without witches?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never seen anything like that before!!!! Really awesome!!!!! Did you build vampires, a guild of mages, liches, a citadel, a castle, death knights, and dragons with every turn? Excellent!!!
Of course, I had a case where I had 200% unicorns in the castle + a hidden stash BOUGHT for 117, dragons + bought unicorns 127 (with +2000), this is a 200% win without choosing a hero - but this is a setup that only happened once!!!
Please tell me more about the first week in detail...

Loi(red,Valecka,Shakti)def Lost Paradize (blue,Caitlin,Turis) 2sm4d(3) 134
On the first map, horses in the Citadel, secondary town was Ramp. On the second map, native secondary town, Shakti was on fire. At the start of the third, I think Turis breaks through and captures my capital. Without rushing much, I gathered troops and stormed my own castle. The advantage in army size and stats made it possible to win by killing the blue player's main hero. We almost saved immediately; after the break, we decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game.

Pit - for the sake of LM (red, Swamp, Bronze) def Javdet (blue, Castle, Valiska, Pyra), 143, 2sm4d(3).
Up to turn 127, the game was excellent, one of the best; I had resources, saw 2 Conservatories, each with 3-4 Angels, a Utopia, and a hidden Behemoth den...
On turn 127, I lost... A couple of days later, another serious mistake... But, by chance, due to my opponent's lack of time, I managed to survive and win.
Thank you for the game.
