I confirm my defeat.
ALEX Thanks for the game .... :smile02:

As part of the "To Each Their Own" tournament
Alex_R (Rune Priest, Carli) def Igor_HW (Necromancer Lucretia/Ravenna) - City of Wonders 2-3-3
On the first week, I cleared all mines except the crystal one (lots of red shooters).
On the second week, I stocked up on tier 1 and tier 2 monsters and delved into the gargoyle crypt — 3x40 obsidian +20 gray golems — lost a few and headed off to clear the passage to the adjacent zone.
Because of upgrading the first two tiers and buying them up, my city development was heavily slowed — but the broken respawn of the secondary hero began to pay dividends... by the end of the month, I returned to my Castle with Expert Runes and Expert Light Magic, Carli around level 16 (but only tier 1 and tier 2 monsters).. and then I started circling around waiting for the magic tower to be upgraded to level 5 and the runes...
I got Expert Light while clearing the rest.
I took "Holy Word", the runes of "Intangibility", "Resurrection", and sailed to the island, since in the tavern, Ravenna, previously noticeably lagging in parameters, had practically caught up to me — and in magic she was already ahead, 15 against 10.
On the way to the island, I was tempted by a small island with a gold mine and a Tome of Light Magic :smile54:
I didn't have time to build dragons and ultimately gave up on them since only the first 3 tiers were upgraded and purchased.
After taking the town, I started ferrying the army.
In the final battle:
Carli level 20 15-10-10-10 (130 mana) (4 morale and 7 luck)
~350 upgraded shields
250 upgraded spears
90 upgraded fairies
75 regular Bone Crushers
25 upgraded +5 alt-upgraded Priests
16 Alt-upgrade Taurs.
Racial 3
Luck 3 +Soldier's Luck+ magic resistance
Defense 3 +Endurance+ defensive hird of shields (pity I didn't have time to level "Readiness")
Attack 2
Light 3 + Blessing
Education 3

Ravenna level 18
?-?-18-? (70 out of 120 mana) 1 morale :D and 1 luck
~560 skeleton archers
320 alt-upgrade zombies
90 upgraded spirits
45 alt-upgrade vampires
25 alt-upgrade liches
10 regular heralds.

Ravenna's Unicorn Bow and Berserker thinned out my stacks a bit — but overall, no chance for the Necromancer.

Thanks for the game! More luck and perseverance in your future games.

Within the tournament, everyone gets their chance.
Lok1978, a dwarf (Rune Lord Inga), won against Din hot, an elf (Eyven, wielding the Sword of Sylvan).
My strategy was based on gaining money rather than experience from chests, as I was playing as a dwarf. Therefore, in the final battle, our heroes and stacks were almost equal in level, but my army was twice as large.
Plus, I encountered an opponent who was retreating to his castle with half of his army, so he didn't offer much resistance.
Thank you for the game.

Because of the upgrade of the first two tiers and buying them up, I severely slowed down my city development - but the respawn of the secondary hero started paying dividends... by the end of the month I returned to the castle with Expert Runes and Strong Light Magic, roughly level 16 Crag Hack (but only tier 1 and tier 2 monsters).. and then I started making circles waiting for the magic tower to be built to level 5 and the runes...
I got Expert Light by clearing the remaining enemies.
I took "Holy Word", the "Intangibility" and "Resurrection" runes, and sailed to the island, since in the tavern I noticed that Ravenna, who was noticeably behind earlier, had almost caught up to me in parameters - and in magic she was already ahead, 15 vs 10.

Thanks for the game! More luck and endurance in the following games.

.
Yes, I confirm. Everything was going well for me. But in the second week, I lost my hero Lucretia at level 8 with an army of 200 skeletons, 100 zombies, and 10 vampires. I bought a new hero, Ravenna, and started leveling up again. But by the time I gathered at least some army to be able to continue and level up further, another week had passed. In the end, I lost 3 weeks. Then I finally started my leveling again. But by the 2nd month, ALEX had already taken the castle. I took a boat and sailed to that island with what I had. On the last day, I attacked him. ALEX was, of course, stronger than me, both in army and in leveling. But in the battle, I still put up a fight. First of all, I tormented him with Berserk... But in the end, I lost....:smile26:
ALEX, thank you for the game.!!!! ::smile20:

Basically, another test of a newbie on the test server. He used chains to the fullest extent, and fought almost every turn with both heroes. As soon as he leveled up vampires, he gave the skeletons to Casper, and he rushed off to the shining lands – he was planning to attack the enemy from different sides. But it turned out to be unnecessary. The enemy attacked me himself after seeing that I had killed the paoka horde. By the end of the game: Lucy, level 16 – a pure warrior without magic,
Expert necromancer, all three perks
Expert attack, BB, mass score
Advanced defense, resilience, hide armor,
Advanced education.
Casper, level 15 (machines, education, attack with BB, darkness + PZ)

Thank you for the game.

As part of the "Something for Everyone" tournament. Vasja. (Blue, Elves, Gilraen) def | lose ValgallaWolf (Red, Dungeon, Lethos) - Map "City of Wonders". Third day of the third week. The game ended much sooner than I expected. The Dark faction rushed twice unsuccessfully, and I didn't forgive them for it... Sanya, thank you for the game! Despite everything, I REALLY appreciated the level of your skill! :smile14:

I confirm Vasya's report.

From the very beginning I knew that everything depended not on me, but on the generator. Whether it would generate Lurkers next to my opponent or not. It turned out it did, so whether I rushed or not didn't matter. At the start I got Letos and decisively chose to rush (by the time of the loss, my native town had only Lurker Riders and Hydras; everything else went into the magic tower and artifact purchases). I quickly picked up Education and Pain. And everything was going smoothly. Until I accidentally clicked to attack with the Hydras. I retreated to the castle because of this and lost two days. At the start of the second week, I ran to the opponent without stopping anywhere (many upgraded Hydras, Alt-Nightmares, Alt-Minotaurs, Bonebreakers, Lurkers, Assassins). I took secondary mages. But I was too eager to visit the blue player. I went to break through the passage into the third castle. I lost 7 Lurkers to 22 Alt-Liches (nasty buggers). In the end, I attacked a horde of Inquisitors with three Lurkers. But I got out of there without losses as well. However, an anti-cheater with Dryads arrived in time. Poison worked almost perfectly. But I was literally just a tiny bit short. And Dirael, moving ahead of the last Lurker, left me no chance.
P.S. I should have sat on the mage respawn and leveled up, since there was still room elsewhere. I don't think the opponent would have broken through the Inquisitor horde that quickly... But this is how I lost to myself (and my crooked writing).

Letos level 14, 3-0-15-10 (Helmet + knowledge, Tarot Deck, Cuirass +2 SP). As you can see, he was stuffed with everything needed, not attack.
Strong Darkness - Pain - Cursed Ground
Basic Chaos.
Basic Logistics - Pathfinding
Advanced Education - Magic Attraction - Sorcery Bounty.

moz (blue, Necropolis, Casper + Lucretia) defeated Vasja (red, Orcs, Goshak) Sun Template 1-4-1 Fashionable Tournament

another test of a black player on the Tactical Map. Not very successful, but it went smoothly. The first hero was Casper, who didn't have any problems with skeletons, and Lucretia started leveling up from the third week. And I was lucky - the 3rd week was the Succubus week, so I raised vampires on all the Tactical Maps. I gave them to Lucretia, and she started shining there. I thought I would build a tower, level up Lucretia in summoning, and rush through the Magic Town to the enemy, but I received news of the surrender. Apparently, the week of sickness (week 2) and minor losses undermined the enemy. Thank you for the game.

As part of the MOD tournament. moz (blue, Necropolis, Casper + Lucretia) defeated Vasja (red, Orcs, Goshak) using the Sun template 1-4-1. I confirm my defeat. There was a "left" unit in the tavern. Knowing that it's not necessary to let the Necromancer develop, I went on the offensive, summoning troops from the castle. When I went down to the dungeon, there were 44 Fire Elementals at the bottom. I couldn't win the battle and decided not to continue, building up my army first, against such an experienced opponent. This game was my first on the TE, so it happens... :smile35: Thank you for the game.

moz (red, Humans, Rutger) defeated denden (blue, Demons, Deleb) Spider 2-2-4 Fashionable Tournament

Before my final turn, Den left me with a difficult choice: who to play against his Demons – Humans or Dungeon. I chose Humans (I weakly hoped for education with attraction). The first time I saw Vitus flash by in the tavern, Den took a rest. In the second game, from the start, he played Rudger, who quickly won. In the first two weeks, he cleared almost all of his starting area and 2 intermediate resource points. At one of the entrances to the treasury, he saw Titans and was upset. He decided to check what was in zones 9-10. With his second hero, he leveled up Vitus, which made the development go very well. In the 2nd week, he built a Castle with Angels. And Iris also quickly got lucky on the road. In the 4th week, he went to one of the zones 9-10 and got Deleb right next to him :( Before he was "sent home," he managed to eat a +1000 resource bag in front of the enemy (one of these zones generated major resources, which Den took advantage of). He lost 3 Angels in the first battle (he didn't expect that 20 Succubi could subdue 150 Archers with Resistance) and 50 Archers for 25 Dogs. Here, Den should have directly attacked me; I think there would have been a chance, but instead, he gave me almost 1.5 weeks, during which I managed to level up Rudger to an expert in Darkness (there was Vampirism in the guild, so I leveled up Darkness) and went to the treasury to get a Utopian. Thanks to her, I bought the Staff of Despair from the artifact shop. In principle, due to small mistakes, I should have lost the city (but I managed to save everything). Rudger reached my castle in 6 days; I think that even if I had stormed the castle myself, 101 Adepts and the Staff of Despair would have decided the outcome. But Den asked me to let him attack, and this is what happened:

Rutger's skills:
Expert Logistics, Scouting, Native Lands
Expert Attack, Blood Bath, Mass Score, Retribution
Expert Defense, Resistance
Expert Education
Expert Darkness
Expert Counter-Attack, Prayer, Warlord.

Thank you for the game. Vampirism is a nasty thing when the stacks are strong and hard to kill.

Confirmed. I did some experimenting. I decided to check out the earthquake effect in the mod. Well... nothing much, really. It pushes units back a bit (0.15). But... I think Mod вроде promised to fix it in the next version? For now, the main damage comes from magic (it used to deal 4 damage, now it deals 80 to each unit behind walls). I hope it will just be a larger base damage (which shouldn't be affected by level) and a small bonus from Spell Power.

But now I'm starting to regret it. I should have entered an empty Castle and tried to survive the siege....
And throughout the game, I never got Darkness... (Although, vampirism plus the staff, which prevented the Imps from moving, would have made it a difficult task).
Overall, I have some doubts about the balance. In my opinion, it should be available to all factions by week 6. There were no significant mistakes or losses (in fact, it was almost the opposite; I was practically given 3 Angels in the first battle without having to buy them before), and I bought all the units (there wouldn't have been enough money on week 5 to buy Devils and Warhorses anyway), so there was practically no chance of winning the siege.
Moreover, it seems that even without vampirism, the siege would be difficult. And since the Underlord needs to hurry, he has to attack, which was also part of the experiment.
If I had arrived on week 5, it might have been a more even match. Although, maybe Darkness would have helped on week 6...
And vampirism... 10 mana is not its real cost

Kolobokk (Dungeon, Iranna) defeated Warmong (Necropolis, Vlad) - fashion tournament, diamond tier. Around week 3-4, the opponent attacked my greased cats - apparently, he lost a lot of troops and surrendered - a pity, it was an interesting game. Thank you for the game.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm, I killed the Rajah, saved the game, but then I couldn't load it. The game state changed completely, and I lost almost my entire army.

And thank you too.

As part of the "Everyone Gets What They Deserve" tournament:
Leolopus (red - Necropolis - Naadir) won; IgorHW (green - Humans - Dugal) lost, map "Key to Victory", 2-1-2.
My old hero was a bit unlucky, but my favorite, Naadir, arrived. In the first week, I cleared my territory, built level 1-3 creatures, and the corresponding buildings in the Castle. In the second week, I fully upgraded the Guild of Magic, as the main hero has basic Darkness and Summoning skills. I also got lucky with the spells; I got Frenzy and Subjugate, and Blind on level 4. By this time, I was already an expert in Summoning and Darkness. Something told me to go back to the Castle for spells, and within one day's travel from the Castle, Igor attacked me with Dugal. He made a bold move, crossing half the map to attack me. In short, after attacking the Castle, Igor quickly retreated home. Frenzy and Subjugate did their job)). Then he decided to wear me down, brought two roaches, and started hiding them in the church. I said, "Forget it," took Naadir, archers, zombies, and spirits, and went after him. I arrived, and the Castle was empty, even though I was traveling without logistics and across open terrain. In short, he didn't make it home in time. I took the Castle, and on the next turn, he attacked me with everything he had, but it was too late :-)).
Naadir, level 16.
Expert Summoning with Frenzy enhancement.
Expert Darkness.
Expert Education with Magic Attraction and Sorcery Reward.
Developed Enchantment.
Dugal, level 18.
Developed Attack - Ranged - Offense.
Expert Luck - Magic Resistance - Soldier Luck - Death Luck.
Developed Defense - Dodge - Reflection.
Basic Machine Mastery - Ballista.
Thanks to my opponent for the game!

I acknowledge my defeat.

I had good development. I knew that I shouldn't let the undead develop. So, I immediately went after my opponent. By the second week, I already had 3 castles. I gathered all my troops and attacked my opponent's castle in the third week. I thought it would be over, but it wasn't. He cast "Subjugation" on me and summoned a Phoenix. As a result, I had no choice but to surrender. I bought myself out in the main castle and continued my development. At the same time, he was coming after me. And I miscalculated by one turn, allowing him to reach my castle. And almost all my troops were in that castle. He didn't give me a choice again. I attacked him to retake my castle. But he used "Subjugation" and defeated me. Then he summoned a Phoenix and started raising his own troops. In the end, I lost...

Leolopus, thank you for the game...:smile20:
