Too bad we didn't get to play...
On day 3, Kiryukha had 5-4-4-4 with slow, earth, and scout in the opponent's secondary town.... But he stubbornly refused to use auto-combat after losing. Too bad..
Thanks for the game.

A very interesting game turned out. We both spawned at the top, me in the central respawn, near the castle there's a Griffin Conservatory for 3-4 angels. I captured two secondary towns (swamp and barbarian). On the swamp territory there are 2 Griffin Conservatories, the second adjacent secondary town also turned out to be swamp. So I'm really hoping for Pathfinding on level-up. I got it as the fourth skill (the third was Earth Magic). I only managed to build Manticore Dwellings in the fort on the first week :(. On the second week I'm fooling around and collecting money (took a mini-Griffin Conservatory). On day 132 with advanced Slow I take the third Griffin Conservatory near the castle, break into the swamp castle and run with advanced Pathfinding to the third Griffin Conservatory in the swamp. Meanwhile Gunnar with expert Logistics scouts the other swamp territory, finds a castle, but has nothing to take it with. Near the castle in the marshes there is another Griffin Conservatory. I'm surprised the opponent hasn't been here yet, since it's very close to him. But then I see a block of up to 49 gr. Harpies and everything becomes clear. Shakti takes the third Griffin Conservatory, transfers troops to Gunnar, who takes the castle where Shakti is recruited and takes the 4th Griffin Conservatory (double). In the second castle I built Minotaurs and Scorpicores. I saw Gosh on the second week with 10-19 Liches and a Dragon :eek: There's nowhere else to go, end of the third week, I think it's over. I went to the opponent hoping for a quick death, since besides 9 angels, there were very few troops, less than a hundred Troglodytes. I ran into a swamp Wyvern. Shakti moves to the spot where Gosh's castle should be (expert View Earth helped a bit to orient). On day 141 I reveal a view spot near the castle and on the last hex I reach the castle, which has rank ones. I take it with angels, and there's a Capitol standing there :). Shakti buys almost all the Necropolis troops, scout heroes scatter in all directions. Shakti hits Gosh from the opponent's side (30+ angels with a upgraded stack), losing an angel and 3 Scorpicores. Then I go through a teleport to the underground treasury, where I reveal a Dragon Utopia and a Pandora's Box with experience. Near the opponent's last castle I see a scout hero with 5-9 Dragons. I buy everything from the Necropolis and attack. Having killed almost all my Liches, the scout hero retreats, and on blue's turn Gosh attacks and forces me to simply run away, losing a week's growth of undead (no money to retreat). But I'm not upset, because there's a max Dragon Utopia, I don't want to go in without growth, because I feel sorry for the angels and there's not enough cannon fodder. I smoke for a couple of days, during which I took the morale/luck +3/3 pendant, and a Pandora's Box with all the water. Gosh launches a counterattack, retaking his main castle (I bought everything and the horde of Zombies came in very handy in the Dragon Utopia), killing my scout heroes, but Galtran himself went to another entrance of that same treasury where Shakti is, and trembling with fear, waits for day 211. But the Lord of the Undead passed by into another treasury)), right to my secondary town, which was beyond the mountains. On day 211 I take the max Dragon Utopia, losing 1 Scorpicore (got Cloak of 5 Magics, Books of Fire and Earth, and Tullov's Sword), break into the main castle, refill mana, Town Portal to the secondary town, stand near the mountains for the dispersal. On day 213 I Dimension Door into the darkness and end up right next to Gosh on three angels, and nearby a scout hero with all the remaining troops and 500+ Skeletons. I attack Gosh, kill him, then attack the scout hero. GG
Thanks for the interesting game! On the second month of the game it's dangerous to stand for dispersal)). Gosh got a pretty good deal: not only was he in the sun, but also at the respawn there's a Griffin Conservatory, Arena, three Crypts, two Water Mills, a Manticore Den, external dwellings of Liches, Dracoliches and Zombies, and on top of that a Dragon Utopia at the secondary town)). That max Dragon Utopia became decisive. If you had taken it, your win would be 100%

After all the resets, we started...

In the first week, I attacked the Mantikor guarding the Mantikor's Lair on auto-battle (forgot to remove it), and lost everyone except a stack of 110+ Trolls. I placed the Mantikor without Minotaurs in the Castle, took 4 Necropolises, and since Necromancers were given on the map, I lost 1 Mantikor in one Necropolis (the maximum one).

In the second week, I took a secondary Necropolis, Art +750 Gold, losing another Mantikor on 40+ Trolls, took a gold mine, placed Minotaurs and a Mantikor summoning portal in my home town.

In the third week, I took a Shield +3 Attack/Defense, a Conflux for 3 Angels on the secondary Res, and broke into the Main town, where I took a Naga Bank for 4 Nagas, a minimal Medusa Lair, and a Conflux for 2 Angels.

On 1.4.2, I approached the Gate of Oblivion, passed through, and saw that Ivor was also somewhere near the Gate. On 1.4.3, I defeated Haven with 50 Royal Nagas, and attacked Ivor. The decisive factor was 29 Scorpions and mass slowing.

Thanks for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def StickyFingaz (Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.3. Thanks for the game! I just had a good time, unlike many previous games. I listened to great music, learned to create more or less decent chains... What else do I need to be happy? lol

Loi(red,necr, Galtran,Caltran ) def Smoke_mk(blue,fortress,Tazar,Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 145 Born underground in the center with two slots. By the end of the week, I managed to gather a hundred skeletons and break out onto the grass; many infantry units – that’s good! Plus, there’s treasure on the ground. On day 137, I encountered a tier 3 creature and received a +5 sword to all stats, as well as books of earth and water. On day 145, after gathering everything, I defeated an army of scorpions underground and an army of fire elementals on the surface, and then a blue scout with a party of angels appeared. Gosha had EVERYTHING from magic and 400+ skeletons & companions)).
The opponent congratulated me on the victory. Thank you for the game!

Javdet (blue, Tower, Aine, Kyrre) def Lider1 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 116, 2sm4(d)

Thanks for the game.

Start 19 archers + 9 in the castle, not built. Broke through a horde of orcs, took some damage., gargoyles too, a bit. Then by the secondary hero saw a horde of lizards, guarding an external dwelling of wood and some scroll, right on the road — impassable. A horde of zombies by the third respawn, I had 12 archers, and pikemen. Attacked and would have won! if of course I hadn't forgotten that arrows aren't infinite without a cart :D

Respawn is small and lousy, but an external dwelling of angels and monks said it all for themselves. — Play!

Didn't take the auto — a loss is a loss.

Thanks for the game!

There was such a game. At the start, I lost many skeletons, but I took the liches, which I also lost due to the wolves' morale. Because of this, I slowed down a bit in development. Secondary town Castle, a thousand, homes — horses with Iliches in the citadel and a thousand. By the second week, I scraped together enough for 9 Iliches and took the harpy hovel, then I bought knights and took the medusa dwelling and captured the external dragon dwelling, but there were very few skeletons — just over a hundred. A Dragon Utopia was already scouted on the secondary respawn, and I needed to capture it somehow, so I went to gather bones... along the way, I took a minimal consulate, finally broke through 20-49 ice elementals to the secondary swamp, and sent a scout there who ran into a block of harpies. On the second — dragons in the Castle and 2000, on 131 — the Capitol, which I built in vain this time... Goshka got beaten in the main area and went to the consulate area on the secondary, where there were 2 arenas and an artifact — Resist 10%. Time was around 135 — Red was charging at me from the swamp; I thought maybe I could go straight into the Dragon Utopia and then defend, but I wouldn't make it in time in that case, so I decided to stick to the plan — after all, the enemy had 9 angels, and I only had 300+ skeletons. The consulate was minimal again, and the Dragon Utopia gave junk. :smile05: On the 4th, I recaptured my Capitol and pushed further with Goshka into the treasure zone — either go underground (which I somehow wanted to do :rolleyes: ) or go right. But after scouting the metro with a scout, it turned out there was a teleporter from somewhere on Red's territory, and they were already roaming around there in herds :mad: — if I had known that Shakti was sitting in a Dragon Utopia, afraid to take it, I would have probably come, but you can't know such things... I had to go to another treasure zone, which at first glance didn't look very good... and so it turned out — not a single Dragon Utopia and junk artifacts... But I didn't run around there for long. Shakti, who had taken the maximum consulate, grew in stats and got all of level 5, after which he immediately caught Goshka while I was split-moving. Now I dug around in the saves a bit and realized that on the 4th week I started wasting turns, the reason being an unexpected guest who came with beer and stupid advice about the game. The beer and "strategy discussions" eventually relaxed me. :smile27:
Thanks for the game!

After all the rests, an average layout appeared. On the first week, there were Griffins at the Citadel, an external dwelling of archers and pikemen — and I stupidly lost a day and a half, having broken the chain for upgrading the archers myself — I had to clear my own respawn, where in a nook I found a Dragon Utopia. I only took the Conflux secondary on the second week. Around day 125, Shakti arrives with double-dungeon meat, because ГО on the roadless terrain. He broke through, holed up in the castle; my ГГ's troops were fewer, but their parameters were quite significantly superior to Shakti's. The assault was called off. On day 132 — the previously scouted Griffin Conservatory 2-4 is taken, it turned out to be 2(. Then Naga 3, light peeks at the edge of two Treasures — for the Pandora's Box and the Golden Bow. On day 142, the Dragon Utopia is taken — a minimum — it gave the Book of Earth and the Pendant of Courage (very helpful in the FB). Meanwhile, scouts scouted two more Dragon Utopias, but I had no desire to compete on the long haul against two fully built dungeons — I went visiting, relying on 113 archers, 40 Crusaders, etc. with the Golden Bow. The assault on the blue capital was tough; in my opinion, the over-the-top morale with Mass Haste and Anti-Magic on the archers decided it. First, I moved forward, shot — the archers fell, I pulled back. For a few turns, I just stood under tower fire; when the gate fell — the final Mass Haste, the retaliation was negated, and the Griffins flew across the entire field with morale. In short, it was absolutely insane luck, I managed to win the battle, and then the game.
Thanks for the dynamic game!

Javdet (red, Tower, Ain, Grindan) def Lider1 (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) 133, 2sm4(d)

Near the Castle there is a hut with logistics, father Grindan, money seems to be enough.
On the 2nd week I run to rush, take the opponent's secondary and use my same-day move to stay overnight on a group of gargoyles. In the morning Neela scouts the capital and stops a few cells away. I didn't expect it, but father reaches the Castle, we kick Neela out so she doesn't get in the way and take the almost empty capital. We enable fog of war.
On 133 Gosha storms my Castle with weekly growth (well-geared - 14 lvl, boots, gloves, logi, necromancer cloak), takes it with losses and then decided not to continue, as there were few prospects.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. IMHO you were wrong to come to me instead of the Dragon Utopia. Checked it - minimum start with a necklace +3 to all and a saber +3...

Javdet (red, Tower, Aine, Grindan) def Lider1 (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) 133, 2sm4(d)

Thanks for the game.
P.S. IMHO you shouldn't have gone to me instead of the Dragon Utopia.

That was something. I never thought you'd reach the main town from the secondary town — fast roads, and logistics did their job.
I had just set up a chain to take the Griffin Conservatory and break my way home, built a Castle (and thought to myself, at least it won't be like when I played with Loi, where I was building for my opponent, not myself). Exactly! I had a premonition!

Anyway, there was no chance of attacking the Castle, and on even ground against mass slow with lots of shooters, I didn't go for it either. I went looking for luck at the respawn of the conflux, hoping for cons. But not a single one! I did spot a Dragon Utopia, my hands were itching, but I had nothing to take it with. I raised a bunch of skeletons, took the external dwelling of fire elementals, built them in the Castle too. Of course, I dreamed of the Dragon Utopia on week 3, but I would have been wiped out without growth. Then I found a monolith leading to red, attacked without mana, the Castle of skeletons took heavy damage, and I didn't continue further.

Thanks for the game!

Not far from the castle there is an external dwelling of elves and horses; Gunnar is in the tavern, decided to play :). In the first week, horses and dwarves are in the citadel, unicorns' and elves' external dwellings were taken. Melodia on day 2 took max crypts with 10 basic elves and 42 kents. At first I started leveling Gunnar, but Ivor immediately got log and the folder is defined. By the end of the first week they are probably level 5 with Gunnar. Gunnar is an expert in logs; after stables and on fast roads he did quite well as a sucker for the chain)). In the second week I took a bunch of medusa-children, several crypts, checked the console on the secondary: 3-4 angels. Broke into the treasury, saw hives there and a +4 all shield behind efreets. ГО brown bears, Ivor has earth and slow in the castle. The game plan is clear. On 131 I take max canned food with slow and basic earth. Finished leveling earth, took the shield, killing horses for 10k experience along the way, which immediately gave and expertized air. On 136 I hit ГО and galloped down the path. At the fork I chose the right direction, but with expert log and after stables, even after acceleration, Ivor didn't reach the enemy castle. On 137 I take it, and there is a capitol))). Along the way I saw the Dragon Utopia, so on 141 I move there, waiting for transport the next day to take it without losses. On 142 Zhenya surrenders.
Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

Well, I put up the capitol and the opponent just broke through my ГО ... Then on the first week three blocks ... only managed to sort out the situation on 131 ... no external reinforcements ... on the third week barely took the second can ... didn't build horses on the first ... the wood was behind the Dragon Utopia guard ((( :smile34: anyway, I did everything I could ... even tried to do more once and asked for an autosave ... they gave me the auto .. but what use is it ... basically as soon as I started to survive, they came for me )))

thx for the game ...

Dreamcatcher (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Loi (Blue, Dungeon, Miner, Miner) 1-2-1, 2sm4d(3)

They restarted the game for about three hours. All subjective, based on the match, based on a level 20 hero :eek:
Poor resource spawn, long way to the secondary resource... Somehow managed to set up 1-6 with a castle. But the artifact generator gave me a +4 sword, a bit further away was a +4 shield, and potentially three consumables.
But... Thanks for the game :smile15:
