Vigo (blue, Rampart, Kirya, Kirya) def Sir Deeemer (red, Conflux, random, Dimer, Dimer) 143 2SM4d(3)

Heavy start, searched and fought for wood, gathered. On the first week: cavalry with a Castle and a secondary Castle. On the second: reconnaissance (3 Griffins) and cash (dwarves and crypts). Kirya surprisingly leveled correctly. On the third: gathered Conservatories (5 Griffins) and built them in the secondary town. The scout reported a passage to the enemy. I buy elves, horses, Pegasi, and angels, and head to him. Caught him not far from home.

Dimer: 9 birds, 3 angels, 12 psychos, 22 air elementals, 30 fire elementals, and about 80 little old ladies

Kirya: 8 angels, 51 elves, 13 horses, and nearly 50 Pegasi for speed.

Thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def El Magnifico Sonic (Blue, Conflux, Moner, Moner), 2sm4d(3), 1.1.3.

After all the respawns, the opponent got a respawn point where the exit from the castle was blocked by 20+ Elves.

Thank you for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def zluqaOMG (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.5.

In the first week - native secondary resource, at home - Vivs in the Castle, without Gorgons and Basilisks, took the Gnoll Outpost, minimal Crypt.

In the second week - I take the Basilisk Outpost, break through to the common secondary resource, settle 3 squares away from the Conflux. Suddenly, from the other side, a fast-moving Kirr breaks through to this same secondary resource and heads towards my native respawn point... Luckily, I didn't move all my troops with Tazar, I bought what I could afford, and prepared for a siege in the Main castle. Kirr didn't go to the Main castle, but took my native secondary resource. However, in doing so, he found himself trapped on my respawn points, where Tazar was rushing. Tazar attacks, Kirr, after firing a volley of Elves, buys himself out....

In the third week - I take 2 Cons (3+2) at the Conflux respawn point, enter the Metro, free someone of level 20 there, and on 1.3.5, the opponent surrenders.

Thank you for the game!

Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def zluqaOMG (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.5.

On the first week - native secondary, home Vivi in Castle, without Gorgons and Basiliks, took the external dwelling of Gnolls, minimal Crypt.

On the second week - I take the external dwelling of Basilisks, break through to the general secondary, stand near Conflux 3 squares away. Suddenly from the other edge, fast-footed Kyrre breaks through to the same general secondary, and galloped to my native respawn... Good thing I didn't take the entire army with Tazar, bought what I could afford, prepared for a siege in the Main. Kyrre didn't go to the Main, but took my native secondary. However, this left them trapped on my respawns, where Tazar was hurrying at full speed. I attack with Tazar, Kyrre, having fired once with Elves, buys them off...

On the third week - on the Conflux respawn I take 2 Cons (3+2), entered the Metro, freed someone there of level 20, and on 1.3.5. the opponent capitulates.

Thanks for the game!

It's all true! After I took the Cons I had my eye on, not only did my mood drop, but also my potency for this evening....:smile30:
Thanks for the game Pasha!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def El Magnifico Sonic (Blue, Conflux, Moner, Dessa), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.4.

In the first week, he focused on his secondary town, building Unicorns in the castle and Elves in the secondary town.

In the second week, he built Dragons.

In the third week, he attacked.

In the fourth week, he took 2 Hives with 14 Vives in the treasury, an artifact +4 to Magic Power, an artifact +50% Water Magic Damage, and in the secondary town, he took 2 Angels and a Minimum Hive. He built Warhorses in the castle. He upgraded his Dragons to Golden Dragons. He rushed to meet his opponent.

On 1.4.7, Dessa attacks me, with parameters twice as high as mine...
But 8 Golden Dragons, with good tactics, killed almost all of her Birds. Dessa cast two 500 damage bolts and retreated with 9 Magma Elementals, losing her entire army.

On 2.1.1, I head towards my opponent's castle, but I made a mistake at the fork and turned the wrong way.

On 2.1.2, Dessa appears, and on 2.1.3, she takes my main town. I run home, and on 2.1.4, I reach Dessa, who has settled in my castle, and with 11 Golden Dragons, I kill her.

Thank you for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def El Magnifico Sonic (Blue, Conflux, Moner, Dessa), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.4.

On 1.4.7, Dessa attacks me, with stats twice as high as mine...
But 8 demoralized Gold units on Tactics killed almost all the Birds. Dessa cast 2 bolts dealing 500 damage each and retreated with 9 Magmatic Elementals, losing her entire army.

Thanks for the game!

The stats were 1.5 times higher, and Morale for Dragons, Angels, Unicorns, and everything on the first turn is great!!!
It was - I confirm!!!:smile05:

7th ONLINE HOMM3 Tournament '08

Javdet (Castle, Valeska,Valeska) def Дубровин Павел (Citadel, Gurnisson,Gurnisson) 2sm4(d) 132

Pasha lost on the black... Well, he also picked all the rests, which greatly increased my chances (on the 2nd rest, I was even looking at 2 external dwellings of angels and my own in town)
Saw plenty of gold, but only decided to go for the angels at the end of day 5 - there was little mercury lying around, and there were sketchy camps... but still took the risk.
Well, the respawn appeared in such a way that it revealed the path to Pasha's snow secondary, and I managed to intercept him at the start of week 3...
In the final battle, 5 angels, 6 horses, 33 marksmen, and others with magic support were stronger than Pasha's 5 bears, 15 birds, and 20 iron golems..

Thanks for the game.

7th ONLINE tournament of HOMM3 '08

Javdet (Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Dubrovin Pavel (Citadel, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4(d) 132

In the final battle, 5 angels, 6 horses, marksmen, and others with magic support were stronger than 5 of Pasha's bears, 15 birds, and 20 stone golems...

Thank you for the game.

Yes, I confirm, I didn't lose, I like the Citadel. But I didn't think that the journey to the snowy second level would take 6 days there and 5 days back.... I shouldn't have gone to the snow, although I could have gone to the Dungeon, where the road led... But it wasn't meant to be....

Thank you, Roman, for the game!

A game as part of a team tournament.

scorp (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def vbn (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 133

Used both restarts in the main because of the lack of a cannon.
At 112 I revealed the territory, 2 roads: one led to the metro, the second to grass (but not ГО) - so I was in no hurry for secondary dwellings, and there was another reason not to be in a hurry - I had nothing, lost 2 birds and 5 orcs on butterflies along with the hero (a funny situation occurred - I killed all the non-upgraded butterflies and then got upset that I lost my army and hero in the end - the hero disappeared, but took the remaining upgraded butterflies with him)
At 115 I saw a Bear external dwelling (well as always - I don't mind, but they are same-faction, what can I do, I'll have to take it) - and there was only 1 Bear in the army (the rest were lost), but there is time to bring a couple of goblins (Gurnisson level 3: 10 1 1 1 with advanced cannon and basic logistics). Brought 6 goblins and took the external dwelling. Result of week 1-7 without 3,4 and 6 in Castle + hippo external dwelling.
At the start of the second, from the stables I rode to the medusa nest (by 6), nag bank (by 3) and into the metro; there was an immediate overview and on the next turn (125) cons for 3 angels, pandora for 35 witches (perfect for my Dragon Utopia on my respawn) and blue's scout flew past my scout. For a couple three turns there was a fierce war of scouts, and with what armies: from my side in the first battle 1 angel - Vitaly had (Nell with 20 mana and ice bolt) 8 swords, 40+ pokemons and 3 monks (whom I mowed down at the cost of an angel, but wasn't particularly upset); the second was no longer a battle: 1+1 angels went to talk about their relative - Nell ran away without a fight (or paid her way out). While the skirmishes between scouts were going on, Gurnisson defeated the Dragon Utopia guard (1CD) and took it at 131; they gave: only wings and 20k units. At 132 I flew over the rocks with 2 angels, 8 grey ones, 2 thunder birds, 2 cyclops, 7 dogs and 28 witches - not a lot?, but I wanted to, even though there was no tactic, but there was expert haste - after all, 8 greys. And on the next turn I attacked Vitaly's scout with an army, and Valya was hastened with 1 angel and Vitaly congratulated me on the victory.

Thanks for the game!

Pit - in sake of LM (blue, Castle, Valenska, Valenska) def Volland (red, Stronghold, Kragg Hack, Kragg Hack), 2sm4d(3), 213.

Thank you for the game.

It was.
Thank you for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Javdet (Red, Tower, Ain, Malekith) 2sm4d(3), 2.1.3.

In the first week, he got a secondary Necropolis and a Manticores’ Den without Minotaurs in the Castle.

In the second week, he foolishly ventured into the Naga Bank (4 with a Griffin stack), where he lost about fifty Trogols and 2 Manticores, but he gained some money since there were no other profitable buildings.

In the third week, he got a secondary Castle and built Dragons.

In the fourth week, he got a secondary Necropolis.

On 2.1.1, he caught Roma’s roaming party with 9 Nagas and killed them.
On 2.1.3, he caught Roma’s Malekith, who was stuck in a dead end with 6 Angels, and killed them too.

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

I often get upset about the small respawn point, but here... a snow labyrinth covering half the map!.... it's just clumsy - and the only path is blocked by 49 greased cows, which can be bypassed, but then there are 49 elves and gr. wolves....:mad: And there are no more restarts:(
I'm hoarding 4 rations in the corners (photo attached), the Siamese turned out to be weak. Well, after much deliberation, I made the folder a mage - the only chance to win, it seemed... But with a 4th-level guild and a library, it didn't work out.

Pit - in sake of LM (red, random Swamp, Bron, Gervulf) def Capitan (blue, random Stronghold, Zubin, Yog and Mefala), 2sm4d(3), 136.
On the second day I break through to the Barbarian secondary hero's territory through 35 Evil Eyes, losing more than half of my starting troops... The town is taken on 113, but severe problems with gold and wood are emerging. By the end of the week, the sawmill is finally found and wyverns with gorgons are built without basilisks in the stronghold. External dwellings of wyverns and gorgons are revealed, but there is nothing to take them with.
Second week - I break through to the Castle secondary hero, take the archers' tower there, visit the arena, and fight my way to the capital. I capture an external dwelling of gorgons, then the gnome stashes of 15 each, and an external dwelling of wyverns. A lizard lair without guards is also found. I build the castle and basilisks.
131 - naga bank with 2 nagas, sword +3. 132 - Pandora's box with 30 greater basilisks. 134 - Gervulf boosts before entering the dungeon. 135 - Mefala is caught with 1 harpy. 136 - assault on the underground stronghold:
Gervulf (10, 12, 3, (13)), expert defense, artillery, logistics, advanced attack and earth magic, ballista, 46 marksmen, 73 lizard warriors, 17 gorgons, 13 wyverns, 63 serpent flies, 12 basilisks and 40 gnolls vs Yog (10, 4, 3, (10)), +1 speed, expert attack, ballistics and advanced wisdom, 2 behemoths, 8 thunderbirds, 12 wyverns, 16 ogres, 25 Evil Eyes, 23 orcs, 42 wolf riders.
Thanks for the game.

Pit - in sake of LM (red, random Swamp, Bronze, Gervulf) def Capitan (blue, random Stronghold, Zuban, Yog and Mephala), 2sm4d(3), 136.

Thank you for the game.

We played with full random settings. The opponent chose red twice and took rests, then another one during the match, when I defeated two of his heroes on turn 115. :)

Then, it generated Barbarians against Swamp... and I could see both my base and the opponent's base with the scouting ability - I was considering taking a rest, but... that's not our method. :)
On turn 113, I took two secondary resources, and on turn 117, I built a castle with bears and ogres (wolves were at the starting location).
In the second game, the economy was great, and I somehow ended up in the Naga Bank, where I saw a group of Nagas - I was sure it was a level 2 creature... it turned out to be a level 15 Naga :( - I lost my troops and got delayed...

Thank you for the game, I'll take the rematch with a fresh mind!
