Colorado (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Max 12 (Blue, Castle, Caitlin, Caitlin), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.5.

We chose all restarts. On 111 I went into the crypt :smile13: , which turned out to be a max-level one... :smile21: 7 lizards and about 30 Gnolls survived. All the left flank meat fell in an unequal battle... :smile05: In the end I was in a tight spot - completely blocked in. On one side, 100+ Troglodytes guarding an external dwelling right on the pass + up to 20 Ogres (turned out to be 19 with a growth stack). And I would have had to fight both stacks. On the other side, the entrance to the underground was guarded by up to 50 Ghosts; breaking through them I saw up to 50 growth Harpies. Can't go through the swamp - on one side the guard of the Hydra external dwelling blocked the way - up to 20 Scorpicores, and on the other I ran into up to 50 Gogs. :smile10: By 114, all the army except 14 lizards had fallen. :smile34: No sawmill, no wood lying around at all. :smile18: In the end I just skipped turns until 121 and had a 1-4 in the stronghold. On 121 I bought everyone back except some Harpies, broke through 100+ Troglodytes, 19 Ogres, and trudged to the teleport for 31 Air elementals (10 upgraded, the bastards) and 88 Zombies. I smashed them and popped out right on my opponent's respawn. I thought: well, finally they'll finish me off so I don't have to suffer! :smile39: However, it turned out the opponent had lost their army to up to 100 upgraded Dwarves and was sitting in their castle with 2 horses and a dozen Pikemen. I killed a couple of horses, Taz captured the uncolored native secondary of the blue player. I didn't go for the blue player, since the castle was built, and for all I know the horses could be 1 or 4. Anyway, without Wyverns and with 36 lizards, plus Tazar's attack of 2, there was nothing to gain. :smile32: Desperately looked for a sawmill, but never found a single one. :eek: And then word came of the surrender, as Maxim's mood had been hopelessly ruined after the loss. :smile15:
Thanks to the opponent for the game. Although we both played terribly and no one deserved the win. In short, it's shameful, but what can you do? Through all the restarts, both mine and my opponent's, there was never a good setup. Or maybe I'm just asking for too much?

no comments ))
I lost to Colorado )
thanks for the game and for such a detailed report )

Lider1 (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Hargas (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala?) 2sm4d(3), 1.4.6

We were finishing an old map. On 1.4.3, I break through the Gate of the Month with 49 skeletons, and on 1.4.6, I catch Mephala with her army and kill her. (Ivor was wandering somewhere).

Thanks for the game.

Finally finished the game! Too bad I didn't manage to get Ivore back to his castle. Well, he did manage to return, but Mephalla and her entire army were clearing out the territories: (
It turned out to be a very unexpected situation with Valeska facing my castle one-on-one :)
It all started so well, thanks for the game!

Pit - for the sake of LM (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def gamer-kirill (red, Fortress, Bron, Alkin), 2SM4D(3), 223.
It's not my fault!!! It's all this accursed poverty that drove Alkin to such a fate. Why didn't anyone keep gold in the swamp?)))))))))

As part of the "Seasons" tournament:
Pit - in sake of LM (blue, Castle, Valèska, Valèska) def HYVET (red, Stronghold, Dèssa, Dèssa), Universal Commander, 134.
On the second day, Valèska had 26 upgraded archers, and with them, she broke through the underground passage to the artifact armor. On the fourth day, Kalida took the armor, and on the fifth - the Black Dragon. Kalida with the dragon went to the lower castle, and Valèska with the archers - to the upper one. Kalida met the red player, she couldn't attack until turn 122, Dèssa attacked herself with the army of the second week and drove the dragon away. Valèska took her native secondary town. In the capital, riders with a fort were built.
In the second week, Valèska takes an army, including the dragon, and goes to the Conflux. She captures the town, then Dèssa comes out of the portal, and Valèska kills her. On turn 134, Dèssa surrenders.
Thank you for the game.

scorp (red, Swamp, Bron, Gurnisson) def Aldegir (blue, Castle, Valeska, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 136

Game from the team tournament.

On the first turn, I bought boots for Gurnisson. I revealed an external dwelling of bulls, though for 10-19 gr. units, and an external dwelling of lizards. On the second turn, I saw: ГО, a Griffin Conservatory, and a Dragon Utopia on my respawn. Turn 113, Griffin Conservatory for 2-4 angels, I defeated 11 upgraded monks and 10-19 upgraded basilisks – a path to the secondary town. 114, secondary town, and I revealed an external dwelling of gnolls. 115, I saw another external dwelling of basilisks – so I will build. 116, I reveal another Griffin Conservatory. End of week 117, 1-6 in the castle + external dwellings: basilisks, archers, and gnolls, and in the secondary town (Conflux) 1000$. 122, in the secondary town 2000$, 124, I took the Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels, 126, I captured the external dwelling of bulls. 131, second Griffin Conservatory +3 angels, and I enter the territory of the opponent's secondary town. On 133, I take another Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels and was one turn short of the castle, where Dessa 7 3 4 4 was sitting in the Citadel (capital): 5-9 horses and 10-19 crossbowmen. Gurnisson 9 4 2 4 had: 7 angels, 73 upgraded lizards, 22 bulls, 31 basilisks, 10 Wyverns, and 19 upgraded dragonflies. On 136, I captured all his castles, and Dessa galloped to the treasury. I receive a congratulation on the victory.

Thanks for the game!

Vigo (red, Necropolis, random, Vokial, Galtran) def Sir Dom Scorbi (blue, Castle, Turis, Turis) 2SM4D(3) 325

Great game, we gave each other room to develop. But the Necropolis with wights (as many as 6 of them taken) and Treasuries had better luck.

Thanks for the game.

Vigo (red, Necropolis, random, Vokial, Galtran) def Sir Dom Scorbi (blue, Castle, Turis, Turis) 2SM4D(3) 325

We had a great game, allowing each other to develop. But the necros with drowners (took as many as 6) and treasure had better luck.

Thanks for the game.

Luck favors the strongest. Thanks for the game! I confirm

Sir RetroFM (blue, mages, Neela, Orin :D) def. Sir Vigo (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2SM4D(3) 137

I've wanted to play as Orin with mages for a long time... I finally did it ))) That's why I started... Well, I immediately took offense and defense for Orin, and they somehow leveled up to expert... I didn't have to level up archery for him...
On turn 137, I run out from behind the guard with boots, after the stable, and enter his city. That's when he surrendered.
... The army was still almost not bought...
I also captured a hive before capturing the enemy city, but there was no room for the bees :smile27:... When I captured the enemy city, I thought... that's what I need so much sulfur for!!! To upgrade hydras )))) But the opponent didn't let me... He said, "I surrender..." Orin with Mages :smile47:.

Thank you for the game.

Sincerely, Eugene.

Sir RetroFM (blue, mages, Neela, Orin :D) def. Sir Vigo (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2SM4D(3) 137

Well, I've always wanted to play as Orin with mages... I finally did it! That's why I started this game... So, I immediately took offense and defense skills for Orin, and they somehow leveled up to expert... I didn't even have to level up archery for him...
On turn 137, I run out from behind the guards with boots, after the stable, and rush into his city. That's when he surrendered.
... The army was still almost entirely unrecruited...
Even before capturing the enemy city, I took the Hive, but there was no room for the bees :smile27:... When I captured the enemy city, I thought... that's what I need so much sulfur for!!! To upgrade Hydras )))) But the opponent didn't let me... He said, "I surrender..." Orin with Mages :smile47:.

Thank you for the game.

Sincerely, Eugene.

Yeah. Everything was going great, 6 levels on the first map, Hydras on the second, native secondary skills, three conscripts, the chain was holding, Tazar took the first conscript-duo. Then, for one day, the chain was broken, and bam! A sneaky capture of my home city :) A pure strategic victory!
Thank you for the game.

Sir RetroFM (blue, Dungeon, Miner, Miner) def. Sir but4er (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4D(3) 212

I was surprised that the opponent chose a Castle instead of Kiryushka (Rampart). They underestimate... They don't appreciate... And in the Utopias, they gave EVERYTHING...

Thank you for the game.

Sincerely, Eugene.

Everything mentioned above has been taken into account

except for Sir RetroFM (blue, Dungeon, Miner, Miner) def Sir but4er (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4D(3) 212
awaiting confirmation
:) :) :)

Babek (Blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Vigo (Red, Inferno, Peer, Peer) 2SM4D(3) 1.1.4

After two restarts, the game didn't go well for the opponent on 1.1.4.

Thank you for the game.

Sir RetroFM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def. Sir but4er (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2SM4D(3) ???

The game was decided by the fact that Valeska had many archers and... 3 extra units... she immediately went to the opponent's side.

Sincerely, Eugene.
