Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valiska, Valiska) def. Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.2.

In the first week, he took the Pre-Minimum Crypt, and the secondary Necropolis. At home, he had Coursers in the Citadel, 2 Coursers and a Stable at the Main Castle. In the secondary castle, he had 1,000 resources.

In the second week, he took the secondary Dungeon, where he took the Rider's Gloves from Gogo, and with a large stack, he took the Hands of Legion, having around 100 Golems. He also took the Pre-Maximum Medusa Lair. At home, he placed Angels in the Castle.

On 1.3.1, he had a level 2 Courser, and on 1.3.2, he had a maximum level Courser. He immediately attacked the Guard Tower (50-99 Battle Unicorns). On the last tile, he reached Roma's party with 5 Unicorns, 22 Elves, and some other units, killing everyone except 2 Harpies, which, according to the game, should have been able to move. The game then froze.
After reloading, he repeated his moves.
As Roma said, the game showed that, with Mass Haste and Tactics, and with the Angels, he didn't reach Roma's party, and only killed the Harpies, although in real-time, with Haste and Tactics, he used 9 Angels, 9 Champions, 60+ Archers, 10+ Core Griffons, and 10 Swordsmen to destroy Roma's main force of 30 Pikemen.
They agreed that he would destroy everyone except 2 Harpies. On his turn, Roma surrendered in the Swamp.

Thanks to Roma for the game; he was very impressed when he saw Roma's Kirr's Defense stat at 11 on 1.1.4!:smile01:

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valerka, Valerka) def Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.2.

Thanks to Roman for the game, I was very impressed when I saw Roman's Kirr's Defense stat at 11 points on 1.1.4!:smile01:

A disappointing defeat, I got caught at a bad time under Pavel's breakthrough of his weak GO - just as a noob was running past the GO with troops from the 2nd week....
otherwise, it's unknown - Pavel would have taken down Kirr with 17 experience in defense in the castle and with gr pegasus... not a certainty.

Loi(red,castle,Valecka) def Pavel(517)(blue,conflux,Luna,Luna) 2sm4d(3) 142
In the first turn, I built a castle and a swamp. In the second turn, I built two sword huts and a conflux, and I placed angels as guards. At the beginning of the third turn, I bought everything and made a quick run to the treasury with Mass Slow, visited the library, and gained +15 to ranged attack (+5 was already there). In principle, I illuminated all the blue player's outposts, including the main one, with scouts; you could say I was guarding it. On turn 142, with 5 angels, 40+ cruisers, 15 champions, 60+ marksmen, 15 fans, and packs of corgiphs and halberdiers, I attacked the blue player's hero. Due to my advantage in troops and stats, the opponent withdrew from the battle and conceded the victory to me.
Thank you for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valiska, Pyrrhus) def smoke_mk (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.6.

Started in the center on a small patch. Valiska arrived with 1 stack, resulting in only 17 Archers. Didn't take a resource, as he spotted his own secondary town with scouting.

In the first week, he took his own secondary town and placed Warhorses in the Castle. He noticed the opponent moving on the road with 20-49 Golems. The plan was to visit the opponent's secondary town at the Conflux on the second week.

In the second week, he built a minimal Necropolis, mixed all resources, and bought out the entire Dwelling in the secondary town and the main town.

On 1.2.5, after defeating the Golems, he attacked the opponent's hero, who was spotted moving on 1.2.4. It turned out to be Tazar with 2 Firebirds. Tazar bought himself out on his turn.

On 1.2.6, he attacked Tazar, who was stationed in the Conflux with a Fortress. Due to a lack of money to buy an army or a Castle, he killed Tazar.

Well, Pavel didn't let me get any momentum with the birds. He got lucky with the secondary site, that's the trouble.

An interesting game. Thanks for the match.[/QUOTE]

That's right. The infighting with Ivor had a significant impact on the army composition. I rushed through the nag, expecting no more than 50 - it turned out to be 70 upgraded units + winged creatures! It was an amazing game! Thanks.

Thank you for the game.

Pit - for the sake of LM (red, Inferno, Pyra, Neela) def. Javdet (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 137.
They spawned on the surface, had a lot of money, so I didn't restart on the first day. But soon it turned out that there was only one road - to the Guardian. By the third day, I found another Guardian and another road deep within my lands - I decided to try playing after all. Pyra broke through to the secondary Guardian, Fiur with imps earned some money and mercury - in the first week, I managed to build devils with a Stronghold. Gogs were not built, otherwise, it would have been enough for a Castle. On day 7, I bought Neela.
On 121, Neela takes a gnome warehouse for 20, goes to collect artifacts - helmet +3, gloves, armor of wonder. Pyra, with her starting army on the grass, defends weakly guarded things. Found 2 conservatories - 2-4 on the grass and 3-4 near the capital. No caches. At the end of the week, Neela takes 3 medusa warehouses - 10, 6, and 4.
Beginning of the 3rd week - I take the conservatory on the grass - it turned out to be maximal, there was Earth Magic and slowing, but only basic, the losses were quite significant, but in return - 4 angels. I break through to the capital and, without losses, take the conservatory for 30 griffins. Next - for the powerful liches - 2 pandoras, but unsuccessfully - 45 gogs and 5000 gold. I took the War Shackles nearby, just in case. Next, I go to the portal, from which a blue scout emerged at the beginning of the 2nd week. I end up not far from the capital, and on 137, I attack:
Neela (8, 8, 6, (93)), level 12, expert literacy, wisdom, logistics, defense, advanced earth magic, 8 imps, 10 hellhounds, 14 horned demons, 10 abyss demons, 7 angels, 4 devils, and 54 gogs against Valeska (10, 12, 2, (50)), expert leadership, archery, logistics, air magic, and advanced tactics, +1 speed, 8 riders, 8 unicorns, 56 pikemen, 1 angel, and 43 archers.
Neela had problems with magic - on the second level, there was nothing valuable (and further on - the same - except for the city portal, some nonsense), so I had to fight with magic arrow. At first, I thought it was bad - the towers were shooting at angels and devils, dealing 150 damage, Valeska had mass acceleration, but when everyone flew into the city and melee combat began, Neela quickly won.
Thank you for the game.

Thanks for the game.

I played kind of clunky, constantly falling a cell or two short of important points, so I lacked the tempo to reclaim the +4 helmet; didn't put Elves in the secondary; didn't build the summoning portal to another on the 7th; didn't have enough for Angels on the 2nd... Not a single cons on 3 spawns, and one duck-farm was way too far. There were very strong trumps for the late game (3 Dragon Utopia), but I didn't dare take it on the 3rd — victory would have been Pyrrhic in every sense:) And then my same old stupid move with building Angels settled everything — left 23000 gold and some resources in exchange for 1 Angel while troops were not bought back. Accordingly, the result was predictable, thanks for the game.

He used all his rests; judging by the last one, there's nothing to gain... But I won't give up! I open the map – I haven't seen such poverty in the Elven faction for a long time. I see a secondary resource point on the right, and on the left, at the same distance, a path to the enemy's secondary resource point, also on grass... I decided to take a risk! I rush there, building nothing but Elves and Pegasi. I capture the "Castle" with archers, and there's a hidden spot nearby, and another one a turn away.... A plan is forming! But the opponent also wants the secondary resource point on the grass :) I see him attacking the guard on his side. We fought a little, and on turn 127, Kir reaches the enemy's capital with 22 Elves, 60 archers, 60 Kentaur, and Pegasi.

Thank you for the game.

Sem-56 (red, Tower, Daremit, Daremit) def Pavel(517) (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) Used one rest, should have avoided it. Found mining sites on day 6, and wood sites only at the end of the second week. Cleared all crypts, earned a good amount of gold. Cleared treasure rooms and cauldrons with imps, have some resources, can upgrade troops. On the third week, I see a lurker, I kill it after it damaged my mining sites. I head towards the outpost, the situation isn't great... We're losing troops badly. He's gathering resources, money, I'm making my way to him. I break through the swarm of wasps, the horde of basilisks, get a shield, all +4. Can't get past further, a swarm of green dragons, it's a disaster. I go around... Daremit with stats 10, 9, 12, 13 and +4 angels with cons, attacks Shakti (sitting in the castle). His stats are 5, 8, 4, 6, 60 mana... 1 devil, 2 green dragons. He was badly damaged, I finished him off in the castle. Thanks for the game... ________________________ KEEPER (lawful)

I took rest on 111, opponent both. on day 3 I confused platinum and breath, and attacked 100+ zombies (thought -49) after the battle bron had 4 wasps left:(, but the opponent only had 3 heroes - decided to play. long and tedious development, on week 3 I broke through the exit to secondary - con:), built fens on 137, and tried to take an external fire pit nearby - bled out. a week later came there again, took the fire pit, dove into the underground, and I see, Adžit is dragging a moneybag)) bron 6 11 3 5(16) 4 fens, 19 storms and 36 snakes, Adžit has 47 Evil Eyes and 5 mantises. Adžit decided to flee without a fight. next turn news of surrender came.
