Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def AndreyN (Blue, Stronghold, Jaborkas, Jaborkas), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.5.

In the first week - 1-6 in the Castle, a Gnoll ambush.

In the second week - a secondary Castle, 3 Confluxes scouted, a Viv ambush taken, Hydro Boosters built.

In the third week - 2 Minimum Naga Banks taken, a Strek ambush, he was going to take Confluxes.

On 1.3.5, Andrey concedes the game to me.

Thanks for the game!

The game is instructive! I attacked him, thinking I could easily handle his army without even using Blast (2250 damage), but when he hit me with Chain Lightning (1000) and then summoned 100 Air Elementals, I realized that the decision was premature)). I was very surprised when, after this battle, his hero, whose army I killed, didn't disappear after the battle but appeared in the tavern instead :)
Thank you for the game.

Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Дубровин Павел (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 2 1 5

Pasha chose all restarts, and judging by how fast he moved in the beginning, life wasn't sweet for the Miner in the underground. I, on the other hand, had 4 fast roads, a stables under the Castle, quickly found wood and crystals, on day 5 two secondary heroes, the first skill offered was Earth... And Kyrre thought she was... well, you know who... And so by the end of week 2 I run to a Conservatory, refill my mana at the well to 40, check — a Tarrasque without upgraded ones. Probably tier 2 or 3, I thought... My instincts were wrong for the first time... It popped out with 4 Grand Elves and 2 Rhinoceroses... And the Elves, having used all their arrows, charged into melee. Oh well, 4 Angels after all...
The second time my instincts were wrong was when I went with those Angels to a Nagabank. Checked, not the maximum, so we can take it, since Kyrre also had +2 to morale. But for some reason only the Nagas got morale, and there were 20 of them. -1 Angel, it was a real pity, my battle spirit dropped and I started playing dumb... And how frustrating it was when, later on, on a tight budget, ALL 3 Nagabanks I took were minimum. Oh well, there are still 2 Conservatories in the labyrinth above, I just need to not be too lazy to run there, because by average estimates that's +4 Angels. My instincts were wrong for the 3rd time... 2 minimums... Well, I thought, Pasha has long since developed further. On the 4th I ran to a Dragon Utopia, picked up some artifacts, took another 2 Angels and went to the dragons. Another blunder — for some reason I brought 3 Green Dragons there... I knew it... They served as an appetizer, I lost another Angel, but they gave a Sabre +5, a Book of Fire, and a Blue Cap. Chain, broke into Conflux, built a University and messed up yet again. Decided to leave the last slot open, in case of Tactics, and took Water instead of Air for Bless, Forgetfulness, etc... How I later missed -5 mana for Jump and Fly.
Gathered an army and messed up again: at the GO there were Giants, up to 49. Naturally there were 8 Titans, but that's all easily killable, just need to equip the Medal of Vulnerability, Blind the Titans, Mass Slow, and shoot the pedestrians, then them too:smile35: :smile35: ... Lost a ton of Elves and a lot else... Took another Dragon Utopia with a Red Orb and a Shield +12, a Conservatory for 3 Angels, another secondary Dungeon hero, and I see a Teleport within Jump range from me, with Red running around near it. It was way past midnight, and before that I had wanted to surrender about 3 times due to the small army, well, with 39 mana I decide to Jump. First I take a box near the Efreeti and... oh miracle!!!! there's a Fairy Dragon, meaning the Scorpicores don't move first. I Jump, enter the Teleport and run into Shakti, I think he was no less shocked than me... Back into the Teleport and run wherever my eyes lead... I'm 3 tiles short of the Castle, messed up again — there's a Stables right next to the town... Shakti attacks, on the meat, I only have 9 Angels against his 2, and 25 Gold Golems at a stretch, I can add 10 Unicorns there, and from the junk I don't remember what, but there were 70 Gr. Dwarves, 16 mana, and Pasha had probably only Doubled... Shakti has 30 Scorpicores, a lot of shooters, 80 mana. He clusters everyone, we start, and flipping through the spellbook I find Meteor Shower. That was the second miracle, because I was sure I wouldn't need it and it was in the backpack. The Angels died and I bought them back, thought about running to the secondary Dungeon hero for mana, but news of surrender came.

Thanks for the game and the huge experience.

P.S. It was a good lesson: "don't say 'gop' until you've jumped" and also, after a hard day it's better not to strain your brain at the computer.:smile33:

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valenska, Valenska) def Scorp (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.1.

On 1.1.4, he took his native secondary town, Maximum and Predminimal Crypts, and Art for increasing Archers (Legion's Legs). In the main town, he built Stables.

On 1.2.1, Misha gave me the victory.

Thank you for the game!

During the first three days, a conserve and two monk external dwellings were spotted. I approached two crypts but decided to play cautiously, fearing that things would get worse later. On day 114, my money increased by 7500 and I got an axe with +2 attack; I thought I was lucky, but the opponent's attack was already 10!!! By the end of the first week, I built horses with a Stronghold and cleared two monk external dwellings. The opponent already had three castles, while I was still hanging around home. On day 122, two nag-banks fell; on day 123, a group of up to 19 Death Knights gave me Pandora for all first-tier magic and I opened the prison. On day 125, another nag-bank with 15 nags—I buy everything up and prepare to take the conserve. And by a miracle, I see a horse external dwelling and clear it. Week's result: +3 angels, Castle at home with monks, another conserve spotted, passage to secondary opened, but there are blocks and capture is postponed. On the third week, I took two conserves and entered the underground; there I shook down about 20 vamps + 25 horned demons, built angels at home—helped by medusa-builders and Pandora's 15000 money.
At the start of the fourth, I was squeezed in a vice, they didn't let me bring in growth and almost took my capital, but all fourth-tier magic helped save the growth (although I had already counted the money and realized levels 1-4 couldn't be saved). On day 145, my capital was finally pinched, even though after taking two Dragon Utopia there were 77000 money and I could have bought up; I lost all swordsman growth from the start of the game (didn't buy a single one during the game), a couple of horses, monks, and levels 1-4 partially.
After the third Dragon Utopia on day 212, I took back my capital by flight; angel growth, horses, spearmen perished, the rest I bought up. Then the race after the opponent began; after the stable, with expert logistics and boots, he ran fast. Valeska barely crawled, but stubbornly took the capital and secondaries. Expert air allowed me to track the opponent; I caught him in a barbarian treasury
Valeska 35 35 32 30 (expert attack, defense, air, earth, magic, for expert shooting artifacts for +15 and +10 shooting, book of water) 14 Archs, 30 champions, 81 vamps, 71 fanatics, 106 shooters, 30 cannibals, 34 core griffins.

Gurnison with attack 27, cloak of denial, 45 vamps etc., but Valeska looked more powerful, managed to win

Ps how many vamps can be collected on the map, about 150 were shaken from trees. And how much more harvest did not wait for us

thanks for the game

Thanks for the game and the great experience.


Confirmed!

I didn't have any miracles; I had 2 paths: the first one led to the Gate, and the second one led to 10-19 Fanatics.

In the first week, I had Manticores in the Castle, without Minotaurs, and a secondary Citadel.

In the second week, I went to the Capitol.

In the third week, for 20-49 Gold, I took the Nook of Manticores and the Head of the Legion.

In the fourth week, I went to the Treasury (it turned out to be in the snow), and took the first Library Utopia (Sandoria +2 to everything, 1000+).

In the fifth week, for 50-99 Gold, I took the Book of Water and the Utopia-Minimal (Titan's Cuirass).

Then I tried to go to the underground Treasury, but Kirr killed the Scout, teleported to my Main, and didn't quite make it. Shakti turned back, checked the Scout for mana (16), and attacked.

But the cunning Kirr killed with Meteor and paid 30,000.

I didn't see any point in continuing, as I had no magic (except for the 450-damage arrow).

Thanks to Roma for the game!

On the first day I lit up the external dwelling of pegasi and dragons behind General guard up to 49 pits. On the third day I rushed a crypt, a Dwarf Cottage, and a pit of demons. At 117, Kyrre level 9 with expert Earth, the army is fully recruited and the unicorns with the Castle are built. In the secondary town, an Inferno stronghold. My opponent had no luck.
Thanks for the game

Confirmed.

Dreamcatcher (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Endym (blue, Castle, Orrin, Orrin) 1-4-2, 2sm4d(3) On the first turn, he broke through to the secondary lane but lost many troglodytes and reduced his offensive power. Scorpions are in the citadel. On the second turn, he obtained a scroll - DD (Double Damage) and the only plan was formed - to build the 5th tower, allowing the use of the scroll. The plan worked, and he caught his opponent off guard. Thank you for the game.

I confirm, I was caught off guard and defeated. Although I was considering not attacking the monsters and instead building up my army. And finding the scroll was just luck.

vitalic (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Sir Bombak (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) 2SM4D(3) 143
on the first week broke through to the general secondary skill, lost many elves while breaking through the blockers. No army, secondary skill is Dungeon and nearby there is an external Dragon dwelling, opponent is very close, but can't break through the archers. He gave me time to develop, although he could have crushed me. By the end of the second week I have two red dragons, couldn't build my own. On the third week built 4 red + 3 angels + my own dragons, standing at a Dragon Utopia, since attack is only 6, decided to take it on day 141. Fought it, but not too successfully – 2 angels, only gave magic parameters. Run to the opponent. On day 143 final
Kyrre 8 10 20 12 ( 255 mana, Ice Bolt dealing 410 damage, expert Air, Earth, Ballistics, and Tactics) 5 red dragons, 4 angels, 21 Dendroid Soldiers, 14 Battle Unicorns, 3 green dragons, 49 Grand Elves, 23 Silver Pegasi

Gunnar 9 8 3 5 ( expert Water, Earth, Archery) 56 Evil Eyes, 15 Minotaur Kings, 17 Queen Medusas, 53 Harpies, 6 Manticores, 80 Troglodytes

On 1.2.1, Misha gave me the victory.
Thanks for the game!

I confirm. On map 111, the dragon stash under the Castle is immediately visible - I decided to play and had my fun, on map 117, the guard under the 98 Grand Elves with morale buffs wasn't in the underground - they didn't give me a chance, and my entire game was already geared towards dragons in the first week. I was greedy with the stash.

Thanks for the game!

scorp (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Dubrovin Pavel (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 121

We used all the restarts. It was tough for me (I only got wood on map 117, and even then, on the secondary location), but Valeska got the Logistician skill. 117, 1-4 in the Citadel, the secondary Dungeon - all because the lumber mill didn't have wood piles and was blocked. But on the second map, I was planning on getting both horses and angels in the Castle. On map 121, Pavel offered me the victory.

Thanks for the game!

We used all restarts. My situation was tough (I only picked up wood on 117 and even then on the secondary hero), but Valeska got Logistics. 117 1-4 in the Citadel, secondary hero a Dungeon — all because there were no wood piles near the sawmill and it was blocked. However, in the second week both cavalry and angels were planned in the castle. On turn 121 Pavel offered me the victory.

Thanks for the game![/QUOTE]

I confirm, took all restarts. The respawn turned out poor, I came out to the secondary Citadel through roadless terrain. I wanted to take a mandatory restart, but Mikhail's secondary hero turned out to be in a different location. At home only Manticores with nothing else, decided not to continue...

Thanks for the game!

Vigo (blue, Conflux, Brissa, Brissa) def Sir Dom Scorbi (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2SM4D(3) 221

A tough start for Conflux; with great difficulty, he managed to get birds into play with the help of the external market. They didn't let him control the ground, so he bought it at the university towards the end of the month and then went for the Grand Order (30 chaotic hydras). He captures the enemy's main dwelling and sets a trap, leaving his own castle within Kirr's reach – how else could he catch up with her...? Kirr took the bait.

Thanks for the game.
