Thanks for the game.

I confirm!

Yes, I only had enough money for 2 Unicorns and 10 Dwarves, which, of course, couldn't withstand the onslaught of the 40 Archers and the Trolls that broke through the moat.

Thanks for the game!

The beginning promised good development, and that's what happened. Two stacks of archers, a hidden stack of swordsmen, and ogres. In the first week, I cleared two crypts, a minimum-level one, and a near-maximum-level one, where I got Dragon Boots +1. Then, with 100 skeletons, I defended without losses and obtained the Dragon Ring, and with 84 centaurs, I got a Shield +3. Valeska, with stats 4 8 3 3, decided to take on 100 undead, but then the opponent appeared, not where I expected to meet him. Scouting revealed that Shakti had 20 minotaurs, almost 100 upgraded troglodytes. He didn't attack the Castle because I killed his hero, who had a Speed artifact +1, so I moved into the Castle. He retreated to pick up my archers, and at the end of the second week, I launched an attack. Covering the hidden stack with ogres, I attacked. Shakti bypassed me and headed for the Castle. I attacked; the minotaurs and troglodytes didn't have enough speed to reach the ogres. Shakti's poor tactics and the morale boost for the ogres allowed me to kill 20 minotaurs and troglodytes; the enemy retreated. I pursued, took his secondary Necropolis, and found the enemy's capital. He came out and attacked me; he had a Speed artifact +2, and his troops were well-equipped. I had to retreat. I bought troops, took his second secondary town. I saw Shakti coming out, summoning Angels +2, and decided to attack. The battle was bloody; I don't have enough tears to describe it, but I held out, with 17 remaining Crusaders. The enemy wanted to take the secondary town, but it didn't work out. Thanks for the game.

It happened. Played normally for the first two weeks, then started blundering, getting distracted by real life, missing turns, and rushing. Didn't build the Griffin Conservatory (just forgot), also forgot about the speed artifact on the scout hero — bad, shameful. Lost my troops, my opponent was in no hurry to finish me off. Stockpiled in the Castle and attacked on my own turf. At the end — the final mistake: I attacked with the scout hero myself, confident that there was no hero in the secondary town — not only did I waste the amassed troops, but Shakti was also eclipsed by the surrendered scout hero. With a clear conscience, I congratulated my opponent.
Thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def RetroFM (Blue, Rampart, Kirry, Galtran), 2sm4d(3), 2.2.7.

As part of the second round of the 7th online tournament.

On the first week - Horses in the Castle, since the archers were already built, and the Rampart secondary town.

On the second week - minimum Conclave on the home respawn, minimum Medusa-nest, Dwarf-nest for 20 and 30 Dwarves (also on the home one), as well as minimum Conclave on the secondary respawn (Stronghold) located on Evgeniy's respawn. Capital and Home Angels.

On the third week - Portal of Glory on the home respawn behind 60+ Treants, and on the secondary town behind 10 Titans (5 upgraded), though I didn't understand what they were guarding (maybe a Demon Cache), took Maximum Conclave. Nearby, I also grabbed the Cloak of Resistance for 20-49 same-tier units. Zhenya "informed" me that he would now be taking 3 Dragon Utopia. Broke into the Main town.

On 1.3.6. I'm waiting to build up before ГО (50-99 Unicorns). On 1.3.7. I broke through them (60 Basic, although I thought there would be more).
On 1.4.1. I take Evgeniy's Main Castle. Galtran went to take the Dragon Utopia.

On the fourth week - Galtran attacks Valeska. Using Expert Tactics, Valeska kills about 10 same-tier units and around 50 Skeletons; Galtran pays off. I took all of Evgeniy's secondary towns (Stronghold and Castle), along with Maximum Conclave. Having Teleport and DD, Galtran skillfully avoided Attack, periodically returning all his and my Castles.

On the fifth week - descended into Treasury, managed to take the Library, Sword +6, Guardian Shield (+ 12-3).

At 2.2.7 Evgeniy surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

We played HotA, +6 comps.
Started with as many as 160 troglodytes )))
111 killed 70 stone golems guarding the dragon growth, and picked up +5000 gold behind the gargoyles, just right for a start.
112 rest + tactical movements
113 broke a Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels.
Then moved into the territory by the harpy growth; clearly my tree was there, so I rushed to it, thinking I'd manage to close the second portal with a dragon on 117, but alas, only got it on 121; at home I built medusas on the citadel and the portal, naturally.
122 broke a Naga Bank 5*4
123 expert Earth but no Slow, I take a Griffin Conservatory for 4 angels without heavy losses and a minimal Dragon Utopia next to it ))) ….
Thanks for the game, too bad Kirr died in the third conservative, otherwise I would have managed to plunder another Dragon Utopia on the 2nd.

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def SEM_56 (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.4.

I took all my rests (as usual), I always want something more.

In the first week, I had difficulties with the Wood Mine; it was blocked after 4 turns, and 20-49 Heavy Archers were blocking the way. I placed a Unifier in the Stronghold.

In the second week, I took a secondary Dungeon, 2 Max. Crypts, and the Capital.

In the third week, I took the Dragon and Pegasus Nest, Dragons.

In the fourth week, I bought Green Dragons, 2 Cons (total of 4 Angels), Maximum and Minimum Nymph Banks, a near-maximum Gnomish Workshop, a Cyclops Cave with 6 Cyclops, and a secondary Inferno.

On 2.1.2, I buy everything except Gnomes, I attack with 110+ Viv with a Group Stack, and on 2.1.3, I take almost an empty castle from my opponent (guarded by 2 Angels).

On 2.1.4, I attack Valeska with 12 Angels and some minor units. My troops were very demoralized, and... victory!

Thank you for the game!

The opponent took all the resets, I played alone on the 1st. I spawned well, revealing an obelisk on 111, I see a home Dragon Utopia, a breakable path to the native secondary town, 2 crypts, an external dwelling of dragonflies. But the money was a bit scarce, and the treasure chests too. Had to fight for almost every one. On 112 I lost 1 wyvern and almost all of my gnolls in a crypt against 5 vampires. On 113 Tazar learns Logistics from a hut. On 114 the native town was taken. And there, an external dwelling of ogres was revealed, and an external dwelling of wyverns. I could have cleared the ogres, but the choice was either wyverns in the secondary town or the castle in the native one. In the first town, level 1-6 in the Stronghold in the native one and wyverns in the other. In the secondary one, I cleared 2 external dwellings of wyverns, 1 of ogres, took a Naga Bank level 3 and a minimal Medusa dwelling. On 131 another minimal Naga bank. I abandoned hydras altogether in the secondary town, built castles in both, level 1-6 everywhere. On 134 Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels, on 135 the Dragon Utopia fell, level 4. It gave money from what I needed and a bit of stats. I bought out all the growth in the secondary town and rushed through the adjacent secondary town to visit Gurni. I ran and ran along the path, oh how long it was, and on 143 the reds threw the flag. Thank you.

Thank you for the game!

I confirm that by the end of the second week, I built Angels. To do this, I cleared 2 pre-maxed Necropolises and 2 pre-maxed Medusa Lairs with minimal losses. Plus, I hoarded Angels on the third week (killed 21 Rocs) and got +4 Angels on the fourth week. I lost 1 Angel, and with 12 Angels and average troops, I headed towards 2 Mermaids. I broke through, gaining 138 Souls, 64 Sylphs, 43 Vampires, and 28 Imps. And then I saw that my opponent was heading towards my Castle. I didn't have time to return and take 2 more Angels, and I lost. Thank you for the game...:o

Everything mentioned above has been taken into account.

Sorry for the month-long delay – I was on vacation.
Now that the summer season is ending, I will try to update the table every 2-3 days so that everything is clear and everyone can see where they stand.
Good luck.

There was a complete lack of money-generating buildings on 3 respawn points; only the 4th castle (tower) had crypts, which were no longer needed by the 3rd week due to the snow...
In the first game, the money in the castle was barely enough for archers and knights until the 3rd week, with a secondary Barbarian with 1000. In the second game, two towers + 4 gremlin nests.
In the 3rd game, I scraped together some money and bought the first utopia for 142 - it gave wings, shield4+, and money. I built angels, flew to the nest, had 6 archangels by the 211th day, and went to the opponent... The parameters were 2-3 times greater, and the opponent surrendered later.
Uran won.

I confirm, it was late, and my brain wasn't working properly, so I just stayed on my own starting location throughout the game.

Kebazavr (Blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Pit - in sake of LM (Red, Barbarian, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 143

Confirmed.
The lands were vast, but mostly filled with mountains and lacked gold. It took a whole week to reach the nearest secondary town, and even then, I couldn't break through – a horde of lizards blocked one path, and snipers blocked another. On day 117, I was surprised to find that I had enough resources for Cyclops – I managed to build 1-6 in the citadel and had some money left over to buy troops. I captured the outposts of Orcs and Goblins – there were no others...
At the beginning of the second week, I buy Cyclops, take a stack of Imps (30), kill the lizards, and head for the secondary town. It turned out to be a Dungeon with outposts of Minotaurs and Medusas; I could capture it, but I had nothing to buy it with. I see a Conflux, check it – 3 Angels, but I have nothing to take it. I take a stack of Medusas (8) nearby, all the Goblins die:(, I move troops across the entire map and take another stack of 4 Medusas, without losses on my own land. This allows me to build a Monster with a castle.
At the beginning of the third week, I go down the road to the Dungeon, there is a secondary Inferno town, with some gold. I buy troops and head to my Conflux – it turned out to have only 1 Angel... I break through to the capital and run for several days to another one – a tier 2 town. At this time, Tazar arrives with a countless army from two Swamp towns, two Viper outposts, and a Gorgon outpost. At the end of the week, I exchange all resources for money, upgrade Ogres, buy everyone I have money for, and head to my utopia. On day 142, the utopia with 2 Castle Developments was taken, but the losses were significant. I received a book of air and a helmet +4/+4, but the mage from Gurnisson was useless... Tazar completely breaks the chain; I couldn't connect the troops and give battle.
Thank you for the game.

Lider1 (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def numOne (red, Inferno, Pyr, Pyr) 2sm4d(3) 1.4.3.

On the first week, day 1-6 in the castle. External dwelling for harpies and gnolls.

On the second week, three secondary heroes. Conflux, Tower, and Rampart. Everywhere +1000 gold, except Rampart, where there are elves. Found 3 crypts. On week 1, day 2, day 7, Pyr attacks my weak hero with two Efreetis.

On week 1, day 3, day 1, I attack Pyr with Tazar, who of course buys peace.
On week 1, day 3, day 3, Pyr is spotted from the Conflux secondary town.
Week 1, day 3, day 4, Griffin Conservatory, turned out to be a minimum :( Main hero heads home to split the army.
Week 1, day 3, day 5, Griffin Conservatory, also not revealed - it's a double.
Week 1, day 3, day 6, Pyr, without knowing it, approaches almost right next to Tazar and snatches the gnoll dwelling right from under his nose. I attack, killed 3 Angels. Pyr runs away.

I go visiting. I buy everything I can.

And on week 1, day 4, day 3, I reach the opponent's castle, thanks to the advantage in army size - the battle is won.

Thanks for the game.
