Loi(red,dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) def Pit in sake of LM(blue,inferno,Pyrre,Pyrre) 2sm4d(3) 117

Yes, the situation in this game was not ideal. Three times I ended up in the Dungeon, had very little money, and couldn't build any troops. In the last generation, I still managed to get something – on the first day, I took a nest of Ogres, then I managed to capture a couple of treasure chests, a nest of Demons, and boots of speed. After that, it turned out that the mines were located in such a way that they were inaccessible, and there wasn't enough stone for Ifrits. I had to get to the surface – after breaking through the blocks, there were no troops left. And there is no money on the grass; I tried to reach the city, but the Specters finished me off.
It's very frustrating that when starting as Inferno, lava seems to be everywhere underground, but the battles take place on the surface, which is native to the Dungeon.
Thank you for the game.

Pit in sake of LM(blue,tower,Aine,Aine) def Loi(red,dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 142

After all the restarts, the map wasn't generated in the best way – there wasn't a single nest, conservatory, or hive on the snow, and of the money-making buildings, there were only a couple of crypts and a Medusa lair. There were 2 secondary locations – Inferno and Swamp.
In the first week, I wandered through the snow, collecting money and resources. I managed to build a Naga with a Stronghold.
In the second week, I broke through to both secondary locations. There was practically nothing on the Swamp, and Inferno turned out to be richer. I'm gathering resources to rebuild a level 5 Guildhall. In the middle of the week, Aine finds a conservatory – it turned out to be minimal, and I managed to take it without losses using mass slow, which I had just learned before. True, the Griffins went first, but for some reason, they attacked the Naga, and didn't kill anyone. Then Aine clears the territory with an Angel; the rest is given to another hero. I managed to learn Logistics. At the beginning of the 3rd week, the Guildhall is ready – there was resurrection, meteor shower, berserk, summon air elementals, flight, and lightning. I take an amulet +3 strength/knowledge from the magic elementals and rush the Angel to a level 3 chapel near the amulet before the Guardian. On the next turn, I fly over the mountains and take an empty capital. I build a mana vortex there – now there are 240 of them – more than enough.
On day 141, I enter the battle, buying 4 Scorpions and 8 Medusas.
Shakti (6, 8, 2, (60)), expert in attack, tactics, defense, advanced wisdom, earth magic, and basic scouting, 6 Angels, 16 Wyverns, 10 Scorpions, 32 Evil Eyes, 14 Royal Medusas, 7 Thunderbirds, and 14 Wolf Riders against Aine (5, 6, 10, (240)), expert in wisdom, literacy, air magic, logistics, and basic earth magic, 9 Nagas, 200 Master Gremlins, 18 Archmages, 1 Angel, 37 Obsidian Gargoyles, 4 Scorpions, and 8 Royal Medusas.
Shakti also had a golden bow, an amulet against berserk, and a bowstring +10% to ranged attack.
The battle turned out to be very difficult. In the first round, Shakti accelerated the Wyverns, and Aine – all of his, and the melee began. At the beginning of the second round, I managed to cover the Angels, Thunderbirds, and Scorpions with a meteor shower, but the damage was small – only 275. By the end of the round, Aine had almost no troops left. Then I started summoning air elementals – 40 at a time per round. The remaining troops of Shakti, huddled in a corner, could not inflict 1000 damage on the elemental. Therefore, after a while, a meteor shower, lightning for 300 damage, and the elementals managed to win. Shakti retreated, and Aine ended up in the tavern with no troops at all. I buy 14 Eyes, 18 Harpies, and a few Trolls and go on the attack again. Shakti had nothing left to meet me.
Thank you for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def gamer-kirill (Red, Fortress, Bron, Bron), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.6.

Took all his rests. One path led to the Guardian. The second hero gets a specialist in Gnomes.:smile29:

In the first week - Elf Shack, 2 Necropolises (Pre-maximum and Pre-minimum).

In the second week - Minimum Conflux, Elf Shack.

In the third week - Conflux on his native Reserve for 3 Angels, took a secondary Necropolis off-road, there was also a Conflux for 1 Angel. I head back home.

In the fourth week - Utopian-Duo (Titan Armor and Orator's Hat). On 1.4.3, I attack the Guardian (20-49 Hydras) and make a mistake in the direction of movement, arriving at the secondary Fortress, I go back. On 1.4.6, Bron attacks me and loses.

Thanks to Kirill for the game!

invisible (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Dreamcatcher (red, necropolis, Gosha, Gosha) 2sm4d(3) 137
Took all restarts, Dream only 111. There is a conserve near the castle, an external dwelling of horses nearby; 15 elves at start, money seems to be there. I prayed there would be no restart. None followed. On the first week, horses were in the citadel, took the horse external dwelling, and towards the end of the week found and took another external dwelling of them :). From 121, 15 horses tore through everything that moved; checked the conserve - it was maxed. At first I was afraid to go in there, but for a horde of gr. griffins they gave 35 gr. dwarves. Scouted the Dragon Utopia and really didn't want to feed the dwarves to the griffins, as meat is just right for the utopia. But I decided anyway: 15 gr horses, 24 grands, 35 gr. dwarves, 10 kents, and 6 weaves took 4 angels (the only magic was haste without air, and mana was only 10). Came out with 5 dwarves, 20 grands, and 14 horses. But now I have angels. Ivor at 127 is lvl 12 with expert logy; with the stable he ran to take the same-bank and a couple of medusa-dens to buy up, on the way to the utopia took another conserve, shield +2 and +2/2 spellpower/knowledge. Built the castle, upgraded the elves, took a double-conserve, killed a horde of gr. liches, and at 134 took the double-utopia without losses; a gladius and captain's hat dropped from it. I break into the secondary town, replenish mana, and set up for acceleration before ГО. Although two more utopias were spotted, and one almost on the way, but then I wouldn't have reached the opponent by the end of the third week, and Gosha on the 4th week is a nightmare. At 136 I kill 24 angels, 75 sultans (they bit me quite a bit: killed one angel, 6 out of 24 horses, and all dwarves and elves). On the same turn, I take Gosha's empty castle; 13 liches and 30 vamps are not bought there. One loser with liches ran one way, another with 3 vamps the other way, and Ivor stayed overnight in the castle. On the next turn Yura surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

Pit - for the sake of LM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Thorgrim) def SEM 56 (red, Rampart, Elshar, Elshar), 2sm4d(3), 137. In the tavern, I got a resistance specialist - perfect against a mage. I decided to develop him, but I later regretted it - he didn't gain any good skills besides resistance... On the first day, I took the archer tower and upgraded it. Thorgrim cleared a few chests, and the army moved towards Valeska. She captured the secondary town on the fourth day - excellent. I built riders at the Castle, but I didn't have enough gold for the secondary town. The stable was located near the Castle. At the beginning of the second week, with 6 champions, I broke through the monks to reach the secondary Dungeon town. I took the town, and there were two manticores nearby! I took both, built a summoning portal, and summoned them to the Citadel. I got a couple of medusa warehouses and a conservatory for 2 angels. I decided not to place the angels in the capital. At the beginning of the 3rd week, I bought manticores (there were 19 in total), champions, and archers, and headed to the opponent's secondary Dungeon town. Along the way, I took a conservatory for 1 angel and brought 19 crusaders. On day 137, I reached the capital and took it. 3 angels, 19 manticores, and almost a hundred archers left the elves no chance of success. Thank you for the game.

R-r-r-r!.. I confirm!.. Next time, you won't live!:smile51: I'm waiting for a rematch.

P.S. Cursed be the one who came up with the dungeon...(territory).

Loi(red,dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) def Scorp(blue,castle,Valesca,Valesca) 2sm4d(3) 134
Spawned at the top. On the first day — secondary hero in swamp (there were Wyverns in the Citadel, 1000), in the main — 1-4 in Castle, 2 Dragon Utopias lit up. On the second — secondary hero in Conflux, external dwelling of Wyverns and their summoning portal. On the third — a couple of Hives, took Griffin Conservatory 3 and aimed for Griffin Conservatory 2-4 with 3 Angels, 26 Wyverns, and company. A disconnect occurred, decided not to continue, Misha conceded the win to me.

Scorp(blue,castle,Valesca,Valesca) def Loi(red,dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 124
Had a native secondary hero, but hit a big money pit — only a Dwarf Cottage 10 on 2 underground spawns, though I broke through 2 passages to the treasure zone, got tempted, turned back. In anguish and darkness, couldn't take it and broke through to the surface, where I saw a wood mine already painted blue, grew dejected, and marched forward for a couple of days. There I was met by 9 horses and Moshna also with 2 native ones. At that point — Misha's victory.

Thanks for the games.

As part of the 7th online tournament.

Thanks for the game!

Apologies, I didn't find this report right away. Confirmed!

Loi(red,dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) def Scorp(blue,castle,Valesca,Valesca) 2sm4d(3) 134

Thanks for the games.

I confirm.

Built 117 in my main castle, 1-4 in the castle with a stable (didn't add any creatures, nothing to look at - but that's okay, I could have added angels). In the citadel, I built birds and their respective dwelling. In the second week, I sold 12 birds and about 20 archers for money (in the bank). I saw a piece of treasure with a +6 all stats helmet in the beginning of the second week - near my secondary castle. 127 houses, horses, and bears in the citadel. In the third week, I took a consultant for 4 angels, and the game crashed - I decided not to continue.

invisible (blue, Rampart, Intei, Mephala) def gamer-kirill (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2sm4d (3) 146
There are three outposts near the Castle, but there’s very little money. I found an external market, which allowed me to use all my resources to place birds on the first outpost. I found Mephala in the tavern, but she only started leveling up from the second week. In the first week, Intei with an archer and a couple of other mages were in charge. I couldn’t break through to the secondary outposts due to the blocks, so I just stayed with one Castle. In the second week, I took 2 outposts 1+2, checked the third - it was at its maximum, but I didn’t want to go there because I didn’t have enough money. I cleared 9 Hydras, took a Pandora box for experience, a Nagabank with 20 Nagas, and broke through to the secondary outpost-dungeon. There was another Nagabank and a couple of Crypts. Things seemed to be getting better with the money. In the second week, I placed a Castle in my home territory. I broke through to the underground treasury, where I took the Water book for gold (I already had Water), a Pandora box for a horde of horses, which gave me a Rusty Dragon. I collected some Gargoyles and found a Utopian, which Mephala took at level 136. It turned out to be a tier 3 treasure, which gave me the Air book (to add to Mephala’s expert Air skills), wings, and boots of levitation. Then I took a Rusty hoard, a Pandora box for 10k gold, broke through to the secondary outpost, doubled my mana, took a can with 4 Angels, and went on the offensive, flying over the Guardian of Order with the wings. I took the empty Castle of Kirill, and then, using Air vision, I caught almost all the looters, ambushed Ivor, and the main hero. 3 Rusties, 11 birds, 30+ Vivs, and 6 Angels under Prayer were very scary, especially under Mephala’s leadership.
Thanks for the game!

SEM_56 (blue, Castle, Valiska, Valiska) def Loi (red, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) 2 sm4d(3) 211
The start was normal; Valiska has a decent archer army and controls a large territory.
However, it was difficult to gather gold, but I managed to get 3 hidden spearman, a hidden monk, and knight stacks. In the third week, I take my secondary town, build a Stronghold, and recruit spearman and archers. The main town was guarded by a group of archangels; I need to find another way. It seems the opponent is building skeletons. Time is running out, and I need to find the enemy. I gather my troops and head to the second secondary town. I have: 26 fanatics, two stacks of 58 archers, 18 griffins, 8 crusaders, and 244 alabasters. I take the enemy's secondary town – a Rampart – and find the enemy. He has: 433 skeletons, 15 upgraded and 18 unupgraded vampires, 3 angels, 13 liches, and 1 black knight. I attack. The opponent had a strategy, and he used it. He brought skeletons and angels to the front line, along with his available vampires. The angels attack, killing fanatics and blocking the archers (my mistake). The vampire lords move, blocking the second stack of archers. I wait and shoot at the angels with archers, reducing their numbers by 1. Loi speeds up the skeletons and waits. The vampires move forward, joining my troops and blocking the path for the skeletons (Loi's mistake). I finish off the angels with alabasters and damage the vampire lords with crusaders. The archers fire directly and, with a morale boost, eliminate 150 skeletons. After that, it's just a matter of time; the enemy fled and surrendered. VICTORY!
Thank you for the game!
