Alone (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def hardkor+ (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2SM4D(3) 111

We took all the rests and more. I had some great setups, but my opponent kept taking rests. He didn't really get going, and in the last game, he lost in a close match.

Thanks for the game!

It was happening; all generations were one worse than the other. The standard was 40 creatures and 7 elves. Sometimes an Efreet would appear, and it would be impossible to break through, with no wood, no money, and no buildings. Luckily, my opponent also took rests in such situations. But the last generation finished it off: one road had a GO, and the other had a block of Horde ranged shooters. It was impossible to break through with my main army, so I decided to take an angel in the console. But I simply didn't have enough meat for cover, and the unupgraded elves shot very weakly, and this was red...
Thanks for the game.

bRitvo4kA (blue, Stronghold, Gunnarsson, Gunnarsson) def Max 12 (red, Inferno, Calh, Calh), 2SM4d(3), 234

Max 12 hosts. Started without rests.
Week 1. Respawn is quite large. Among the heroes it gives Deessa and Pire. I decide to level them as well. The lucky part was that Gunnar gets Logistics )), and the unlucky part was that the Monk gives Eagle Eye ((
Week 2. Starts with Gunnar capturing the native secondary town in the north. 116 I build a Village Hall in the capital. By the end of the week I set up Rocs in both towns.
Week 3. I gather troops and move towards the opponent. On his territory I take two Dwarf Cottages of minimal size and level up. At that point I have 15 Rocs. 34 Orcs, Wolves, and Goblins. 134 Calh comes out of the darkness with 9 Efreeti and huge troops and gives a thorough beating. I buy myself out. Only a few Rocs, Orcs, and Wolves remain. With them on the same turn I break into the underground. 117 I take an underground Dungeon town, capture two Minotaur external dwellings and Boots. Meanwhile, the opponent decided to use his advantage and approaches my secondary town.
Week 4. At the start of the week they retake the secondary town and loot my conservatory near it. Meanwhile, I clear 2 Naga Banks near the capital with new troops and build a Capitol. 143 the enemy, now with Angels, approaches my castle. I learn 2 levels of magic, gather the entire army, and give him a fight near the castle. Gunnar’s advantage in stats, the Ballista, and the Lightning play an important role. He buys himself out. By the end of the week I destroy his scouts, retake the secondary town, build a Village Hall there, capture a Cyclops external dwelling, and set up Battle Dwarves.
Week 5. I clear my territory, capturing a Club +5 Attack and a Cloak +2 Speed. By the end of the week I build a Castle and set up Battle Dwarves in the secondary town, then approach the Dragon Utopia.
Week 6. I take the Dragon Utopia (Helm +6, Shield of Protection). 223 the enemy retakes the underground castle. I paint the Battle Dwarves, retake it, and pursue Calh. I catch up with him on the surface on his territory. His stats are 18, 11, 14, 10 with 7 Angels and 13 Efreeti and others. Mine are 23, 23, 13, 9, with 41 Birds, 8 Battle Dwarves, 18 Cyclopes, and 22 Minotaurs. I wipe out the Angels and Efreeti, and he takes out my Ballista, then buys himself out. Afterwards I take his castles and chase him across the map. 234 he surrenders.
Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

Well, basically, that's how it went...
My opponent got lucky and defeated me while I was retreating... I had just opened a Dragon Gate and was running home... I needed a couple more turns.
But thanks for the game.
My Inferno opening didn't work out.
Although it's fun to play with.
I demand a rematch!):smile14:

Loi(red,ramp,Kyrre,Kyrre) def Тяжелый случай(blue,dung,Shakti,Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 146

On the first — Centaurs into Citadel, external dwelling of elves, pegasi and Centaurs. On the second — the same, in Castle, native secondary hero, frantic search for money, conflux1. On the third — spending money, conflux3. On the fourth — through the ГО (48 giants and 30 devils) — I fly into the same hospitable Dungeon gates, greeted magnificently — with a Capitol, all that, which for us, a backwater village, having reluctantly splurged on a Town Hall, was pleasant :).
On day 147 Shakti assaults the Dungeon — a hundred elves, 4 angels, etc., with mass slow allowed me to achieve victory.
Thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game.

That's true. But if we were fighting in an open space, or even better, if I hadn't left the Castle, we could have put up a fight.

Thanks for the game.

Yeah, I was doing well, especially in the first week with the birds, but my opponent was probably better, or I just haven't learned how to play yet. As a result, in the 3rd week, the difference in troops and stats simply gave me no chance!!!
Thanks to my opponent for another lesson in playing Heroes!!! :smile33:

Finally defeated the monster!
It was a tough game, but fortune has now turned in my favor.

Thanks for the game, Yegorich! You are a very strong player! Good luck in the battles!

Thank you for the game!

Yeah, the generator had never pulled such a dirty trick before :D
Underground, a candle next to the castle, but behind nagas, a Griffin Conservatory, but a Tarrasque, the path to the secondary was blocked by Rune Drakes, hefty shooter stacks... I go from the castle in a spiral to the Metro, with losses, peek out and run into Green Dragon + the opponent's flag is lit, another Metro not far away behind up to 99 marks,... found a passage to the secondary, but it's about a 4-day ride around + a guard of Green Monks.. Nowhere to run, no one to farm skeletons with. On week 3, I beat the marks, come out and see a lantern. Shouldn't have come out... 10 tiles away, Gunnar with all his power.

Thank you for the game

OUTLAW (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Loi (red, Castle, Valeska, Tuner), 2SM4d(3). 2-2-4

Confirmed. I made two unforced errors — attacked 49 horses with upgrades in the treasure zone (lost 8 horses), due to carelessness, and also, with a careless mouse movement, sent my scout hero with 75 marks [accumulated through hard work] into a horde of trolls (I transferred them when daddy was taking the ulis). After losing the horses, keeping pace as we had been doing until the middle of the third [month] became impossible. My opponent clearly capitalized on the advantage.
Thanks for the game and the positive attitude!

Finally, I defeated the monster!
It was a tough game, but fortune finally turned in my favor.

Thanks for the game, Yegorych! You are a very strong player! Good luck in future battles!

And thank you too! I've never seen such a start for the Elves – 21 Elves! I thought my golden bow would decide everything in the early second week, but by the end of the second week, Valerka was 14 6 5 2, but in the only Utopia, they gave me a weak unit. In the Pandorians, it was only experience – Valerka reached level 25 by the final, with no magic. And of course, Kir had outside dragons.

Thanks for the game!

On week 3, I build Angels in the secondary town, +2 from the Griffin Conservatory, and on day 7 I snowball. With yesterday's army, without losses, I break through 35 Hydras at a ГО and, using Blindness, kill Orrin on 4 Champions.

Thanks for the game
