Posts from Reports on victories and defeats in online games of Heroes of Might and Magic V.

My progress was going well. When I saw that Vip was heading towards me, I retreated to my castle, but I didn't quite make it. I bought troops and sent my second hero out of the castle. But I didn't transfer control because his opponent wasn't very strong, and I figured he would check the tavern and turn back. I positioned him next to my hero. I reviewed everything and almost didn't realize that he might have logistical advantages. And in the end, that's exactly what happened. First, he took my castle, and then he defeated my main hero. After that, there was no point in continuing. My second hero was only level 3. I attacked him, saw that there was no point in wasting time, and withdrew. I confirm my defeat. Vitaly, thank you for the game. :smile20:

[QUOTE=Igrok_v_geroev;[/U]Igrok_v_geroev (people of Iris) won against Leolopus (elves of Ilphin) using the spider map template without a dungeon.
He attacked his city, and it surrendered; it seems the hero was wandering around somewhere.)))
Thanks for the game.[/QUOTE]
I confirm, you're welcome. He was definitely wandering around; the hero was wandering, and I was wandering around. Basically, that's what happens when you're watching TV in another room, having dinner, and playing Heroes. I just wasn't paying attention to what was happening around my castle for the last two turns:D, and when I finally looked, it was too late:([/QUOTE]

Igrok_v_geroev (Dugal, Human) won against Leolopus (Nadír, Necromancer) on the Maze map without a dungeon.

Thanks for the game.

Leolopus (dwarves - Ingvar) - won; Vip.rus (mages - Faiz) - lost
the game ended quickly, so there's no point in describing all my heroic adventures. First, I intercepted the enemy's "roach" (a fast unit), who had almost all his warriors un-upgraded (he was taking them to the fortress to upgrade), and on the next turn, I took out the main hero. Vip, thanks for the game!

Igrok_v_geroev (humans - Dugal) won against Leolopus (necromancer - Nadir) on the Maze map without a dungeon
thanks for the game

It happened, I admit:D I don't know why, but I started trying to break through to the Guardian of the Orb (GO). First, I cleared 30 cycles, then 25 phoenixes, then 80 green wyverns, and all without losses. Subordination, berserk, and phoenix worked great, but two stacks of warriors, which I had with me, were not enough to fight Dugal, level 21. I should have just kept running around and leveling up:smile04:

Primus (Necromancer, Naadir) def VarvarJoker (Barbarian, Tilsek) - Sun, large map without underground, 2-3-2

He played great! He couldn't find an opponent for a long time. He didn't want to prolong the game because summoning and dark magic were already maxed out after the first 7-10 days. He didn't find a single library or artifact shop, but he found four mentors. He gained a good amount of experience in the Battle Temple. The final battle was a breeze. Thanks for the game!

Vip.rus (red, Necropolis, Zoltan) def / lose Igrok_v_geroev (blue, Dark Elves, Sinithar) - Spider, we played for about a month and a half

I already reached level 20, leveling up perfectly, having everything necessary for the Necropolis and even logistics, I cleared everything and everyone, relentlessly advancing on my opponent))) I had significantly better stats than my opponent! I took Utopian! Then Sanya said that he was tired of playing and waiting for my moves and surrendered, which spoiled my joy of victory (in my opinion, the most likely outcome:))

Despite everything, thank you for the game.:smile02:

I confirm, I just didn't want to ruin it, but I was tired of waiting. If level 20 can outrun level 23, then he was better.

Leolopus (Orcs, Haggesh) - won; Vip.rus (Humans - Iris, Vitek) - lost, map - Spider. Haggesh, level 26, stats 34-16-6-13 (1-5), standard build with a focus on education. When he realized he was ready, he went to attempt a Grand Offensive (91 Paladin, 44 Devil, 100 Manticore, 44 Seraph). He appeared not far from his opponent's castle and took it (by the way, he warned his opponent 5 turns in advance that he was going to attempt a Grand Offensive). Vitek decided not to wait for him in the castle, but to try to participate in capturing his castle. However, the portal to the city is a useful thing, and when he reached it, I was already home. The final battle was not long; with an attack of 34, my troops destroyed everything in their path. Vip, thank you for the game!

:eek:

Primus (Gnomes, Ibba) loses to KillAndAction (Orcs, Argat) 2-2-4 Labyrinth (very large, no underground)

The game turned out unexpectedly short-lived, despite the very confusing template layout...
Argat was born and off to the races... immediately grabbed the needed bases: attack and machines.
Honestly, I was afraid of those gnomes: with their potential for all sorts of leveling...

By the start of the 3rd week, I built the capital, creatures of levels 1-5.
Also cleared 6 or 7 respawns, so to speak, I rushed and pushed as fast as possible everywhere.
As a result, on the 3rd week I luckily hit a small treasury, grabbed all sorts of goodies and 5 level-ups...
On the fourth, we clashed with the respected opponent...
The 1st battle was on the 4th week and was tough in terms of outcome: the trade-off in troops was very uneven for the opponent's main hero.
Having 7 upgraded goblins, 77 centaurs, 3 shamans, 6 green elves, and with artillery support, I managed to send
to the other world 96 alt warriors (out of 120 total), 86 upgraded throwers, 30 upgraded bears, and 8 jarls.

After buying my hero back, I decided to raise some more stats before the decisive battle, since at level 20 I got Education. This fact helped a lot: by leveling up to level 22 in 6-7 days, I got a solid stat boost. +6 to attack, +3 to
defense, and +2 to knowledge.

While the opponent was running around the adjacent zones I had partially pillaged, I gathered an army on the 6th week (as much gold as I had), ran through the portal to the enemy's town. Everything happened in the opponent's town.

Argat level 22:
355 upgraded - 123 upgraded - 105 upgraded - 39 upgraded - 26 - 0 - 0
Ibba level 19:
205 upgraded - 153 alt - 0 - 0 - 28 alt - 0 - 0 - 0.

The respected opponent fought very strongly and skillfully.
After 3 turns, I lost the ballista and catapult: thanks to Ibba. If not for a tiny crack in the wall, things would have been bad. I made several mistakes: instead of Horde's Fury, I just dealt direct damage with the hero. ((

Leveling and stats with artifacts 26-10-7-9:
3 racial - Blood Memory
3 Education
3 Logistics - Pathfinding
3 Machines - Machine Gun - Tent
3 Attack - Archery - Fire Arrows - Tactics.
1 Defense

That's it, folks!
Thanks for the game!

Amaranth (Inferno, Deleb) def Drakkoshka (Sylvan, Ilfina), Outlands, Small, with a dungeon, 1-4-1

A clash between two newbies...:)

I gained an advantage because I sent a support unit closer to the enemy castle, where he brazenly collected all the resources and ran away:D
+I was lucky with the artifacts: I bought boots with +1 speed and at the start I had the Trident of Titans, and in the guild there was Lightning Bolt. Overall, we had a great game)) Thanks for the games;)

:eek:

Primus (Gnomes, Ibba) loses to KillAhdAction (Orcs, Argath) 2-2-4 Labyrinth (very large, no underground).

Thanks for the game!

That's how it went. The game just didn't work out at all.:mad: Up to level 18, I never got a single tent, ballista, chaos, or light creature.:eek: You can't get far with education, luck, attack, and machines against an Orc. I really didn't want to meet my opponent early. But after breaking through another portal, I ended up near his main castle. On the next turn, Argath wiped out almost my entire army and fled.:( I was counting on getting stronger and accumulating resources while Kila gathered troops, but I only managed to gain two levels, upgrade developed chaos, and learn Meteor Shower. I was moving like a turtle compared to Argath!:( My opponent used astral gates to jump over many twilight dragons that were guarding the main castle. I had nothing left to do but fight through neutrals and buy an army. Of course, I didn't have much money, as I bought two artifacts - +3 to knowledge and +6 to spell power. So I had to fight only with warriors, spear masters, and priests. Before the final battle, I made a big mistake - I sold all my resources.:smile35: Because of this, I couldn't use them in battle, and the runes were great - berserker, ethereal, resurrection, battle rage. How could I have deprived myself of such help???:mad: My opponent probably wouldn't have taken my castle if he hadn't broken through the wall on his first turn. But even with that, I could have turned the tide with the runes! Thanks for the game.

P.S. I was level 20, not 19. The ballista and catapult were used only twice, not three. There was practically no one left to clear out your remaining troops, and there was no point in dragging cockroaches to build a new army, as my castle was too far away and all the nearby respawn points had been cleared. So I barely managed to gain two levels and headed home.;)

Leolopus (Orcs, Haggeesh) - won; Vip.rus (Humans - Iris, Vitek) - lost, strategy - Spider.

I messed around with the heroes and lost without a chance, it's a pity, but I'll soon stop making such mistakes, then beware!:smile01:

Vip.rus (Elves, Vinrael) won / Igrok_v_geroev (Dwarves, Ibba) - strategy M3, 7-2-3

We played for a very long time, but I needed time to level up, as they stubbornly didn't give me magic. At first, I was hopelessly behind in stats compared to my opponent, I almost started messing around with the heroes again, but I came to my senses in time and left the first one. I moved around with 3 armies, explored and cleared a good area, but I couldn't find the dwarves for a long time! I was very upset, they didn't offer me light magic. There were only light and chaos spells in the castle. Somewhere around level 20, I got frustrated and started leveling up chaos. As it turned out, it was not in vain). While the dwarves weren't attacking me, I wandered into the Battle Tower. There was a treasure trove, I gained 8-10 levels! And what artifacts I found there!) A staff -20 initiative, an amulet of icy embrace (it was very useful), and all sorts of dragon/dwarf artifacts!!! I also found a mentor and changed logistics to attack + OS, although a ballista never dropped, I only fired once((( As a result, I leveled up so much that I became ahead of the dwarven leader in all stats). I decided that it was time to go fight, I gathered an army. In the tavern, I saw that without a weekly bonus, I was weaker than the dwarves, then I forgot to check! Sanya was also tired, we approximately determined the meeting place, and the battle began!!! It was an equal battle, at first it was not clear at all, then the outlines of my victory began to emerge! We let the archers fire, and the rune priests disappeared. Then the archers died:smile16: But the infantry, thanks to the +27 defense, was almost invulnerable, it withstood all attacks with minor losses. I had luck +5, I think, and my opponent had -1! This also helped a lot. And chaos magic is just awesome!!! Enchanted arrow with Slowing Cold, enhanced by the icy amulet, dealt 600+ HP + the arrow itself! Rain of Arrows is also a great thing, especially when the arrows are enchanted! The dwarves had light magic, I was very surprised) Especially my light unicorns were happy about this:) So, little by little, I defeated all the dwarves, of course, with great losses! That's all, today the god of heroes was on my side!!!:smile23: Thanks for the game!

Igor_HW (red, undead, Lucretia) lose / def Eruina (blue, undead, Orson) - chaos template, 6-2-4

Got relatively lucky with the hero, leveled up well, reached a high level—killed 25 Colossi, then it was 106 Paokais, 49 Titans, 57 Angels, 2 Dragon Utopia (each twice) and 2 artifact tents; in short, high level and great artifacts (bow+quiver, 4 dragon artifacts, initiative ring, etc.). During the final build, decided on: attack and summoning of phantom and phoenix.
