I just noticed it myself, I always wrote it.
And I wrote this report 3 times, the first 2 times it simply didn't appear on the forum when I sent it, and I received some kind of message. Apparently, the third time I didn't notice.

they barely took any rests, and when both had a lot of money and 7 heroes on turn 112, it became clear that there would be no more rests...
in the first one, a secondary rampart build in the castle, no growth
122 +2 angels and immediately -1 when breaking through 50+ monks for wood, 8 wargs, then a near-maximum nagabank
125 a long way to the corner of the respawn and still got +3 angels, losing 1 big
126 gr. bigs
127 already in the treasury +8 wargs -3 wargs on defense
131 I add 2 more bigs +8 wargs (total 19), 11 attack, 4 defense, and break the utopia, there are wings
133 in another treasury +6 wargs +6 attack, sword
134 +3 angels
135 they gave earth on level 20 and immediately in the utopia, earth knight, and next to it +3 old.
136 +2 old and utopia on water knight and sailor's hat, I lose and go away (and there was a utopia on water knight next to it (((, but I only found out about this after the game).
137 I stand near the walls of Titan's stronghold, 3 gr. bigs, 28 wargs, 7 angels + small stuff +1 speed, 25-18-17 (280)
blue got sad and put away their magic wands and sniper bows...
Thank you for the game!

It happened. In the first week, everything started well, and ended with ranged blocks everywhere. I took Daremyth, hoping for a rush, but it didn't work out. The only secondary Barbarian building was simply inaccessible to me. I found a way to their homeland only on turn 126, when with a sniper bow and 140 caps and 5 nagas, I took a tier 3 town and, of course, the griffins died and destroyed 40 caps right away. And then the gloom came, because it made no sense to play as a mage anymore, you can't take utopias with him, nor can you fight in the treasury. And they also take the utopia right in front of my nose, when I simply have nothing to take it with. Well, and as always, Paladinich had some mega-luck. The best treasury was on snow, I was looking for a teleport there, hoping that it would be difficult for the Barbarians to move around in the snow. But no - in the utopia, of course, there was the most necessary thing - wings...

Thank you for the game!

Aldegir (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) --- Nazio (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3) 142. On turn 114, a secondary town was built, and on turn 117, units 1-6 were recruited in the Castle and 1-5 in the secondary town. Earth expertise + slow. On turn 122, a secondary town of Barbarians was built. 132, 2 scorpions, 2+1... On turn 135, I broke through the enemy's defenses, and on turn 137, I attacked Kirr's Castle. The parameters are 6-14-7-17, mana 3, plus 7 angels + 7 unicorns + 60 elves + 99 centaurs + 38 pegasuses. Valeska 5-7-8-30 mana. 5 angels + 6 unicorns + 18 knights + 28 archers + 35 pikemen. + expertise haste. Haste + more mana decided the battle in Valeska's favor. I bought my way out with 5 unicorns + 12 pegasuses. Valeska has 4 angels + 4 unicorns left. On turn 141, Valeska bought more unicorns and moved out with 4 angels + 7 unicorns. I transferred 19 dendroids + 6 unicorns + 14 elves + 12 pegasuses to Kirr. Valeska buys her way out with 2 unicorns and attacks on the next turn with 27 archers and 2 unicorns. Kirr has 11 dendroids + 1 unicorn. A unicorn blinded the champions, and then the game crashed. In principle, I would have won the battle, and I still have 5 unicorns + 18 dendroids + 22 pegasuses in the Castle, and a secondary town has been built, plus 3550 gold income, while the red player has almost nothing in the Castle (1 Castle without secondary towns + 1000 gold). We decided not to continue. I suggested a draw or to finish the game. But I didn't hear a definite decision - whether it's a draw or a loss. Therefore, let the outcome of the game be decided by the response report

Aldegir (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) --- Nazio (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3) 142.

The trend, however, was against me in this tournament... after a total of 6 or 7 restarts, Valeska comes with 4(!) archers in the tavern, naturally, none of them are Kirr... resulting in a start with 13 archers... in the dungeon, vampires take away another two... on 1-1-4, Valeska escapes from 12 zombies (there were 87 on the way to the barbarian secondary town), when only 8 archers remained, the arrows ran out... no army, no money for a respawn... the choice is either to buy out Valeska or to try to scrape together enough for horses... I chose horses, and for the only time, I got lucky - on 1-2-1, after buying a mule in the tavern, Valeska is there... no money at all... I barely scrape together enough on the market for Valeska + 2 horses, upgrade the horses in the stable and in another dungeon... to the maximum...(of course, I messed up here... I should have taken a phalanx, or at least 6 pikemen, I would have survived)... but instead, I lost again :eek: ... I buy out Valeska again - I scrape together enough for her and another 3 horses... and finally, I start to develop the territory... on 1-3-1, I stand on a strong defensive position... I realize that if I don't take the maximum, I'll send out a scout - a level 2 unit! I bring reinforcements from the castle, and wouldn't you know it, I put the griffins in the wrong place (time was running out - I didn't check :smile33: ) - as a result, 2 hits on the archers... okay, I escape with 29 archers, 2 angels, 20 griffins, and 7 horses, plus pikemen... I move the army around to bypass another (strong) defensive position, and there, on 1-3-4, Valeska is... I escape from there with 6 horses, 29 archers, and 5 angels... I rush back home - in a chain, clearing out goblin stacks and medusa dens, I move the army and wait for the opponent, who doesn't keep me waiting...
The first battle - my morale is boosted, after the wait, the angels destroy almost all of his angels, but then there's a desynchronization... okay, we load the save, try to move the same way - it doesn't work... it's already 4 o'clock - we decide to move as we can... and then my level 1 pikeman gets morale and takes out his stack of 32 applegars, which should now receive a full-force (mass haste) attack from 6 horses and 5 angels without a response... but then there's another crash... another disconnect, now the game is running without morale at all for the whole battle :) ... the opponent runs away... in principle, if I had gone to the treasure now after such an exchange, I would have had a chance, but Kirr catches up, I run away and attack again - in the last battle, Aldegir is wrong - I would have won there thanks to the fast-moving archers ;)... another disconnect... I'm fed up, and it was clear that there were no chances left now... thanks for the game... I tried to make the best of it, but it wasn't meant to be. Good luck in future games!
P.S. I'm giving up on the game against El Magnifico Sonic' in his favor.

I spent over an hour writing the report. I clicked "reply" and everything disappeared. All that work was for nothing :mad: I won't write anything more. This has happened here before.

In my opinion, the game turned out to be very interesting. The battles started in the second week and continued until the end of the game. A strong opponent - with a below-average setup, fought with all his might, but Neela was stronger.
A lot was decided by the fact that in the third slot, he got Earth, and I immediately exploited it, given the presence of Slow.

Thank you for the game.

We chose restarts and off we went, chaos all around, but the external market is good and I luckily broke through to 49 centaur captains and the same number of wolf riders on the first turn without any morale. I broke through a teleport to 49 water elementals, but then the fanatics stopped me, so I got upset and started seeking happiness in the underground off-road.
My opponent quickly took his native secondary, I took the Necropolis one later, where on day 122 with 3 nagas + caps, and skeletons and zombies for feeding, I took the tree on 8 wisps, the caps and nagas barely got scratched. Then I took the tree on 12 wisps and the consulate for 3 angels. At home, on the second, I couldn't even place genies, I traded away all resources. On the fourth, I took a Dragon Utopia with wings, then another one, built level 5 magic, there was a town portal, and I became more mobile. I flew to the treasury on Inferno land, there was another Dragon Utopia, but everything duplicates, and the stats were low. That's where I found Valeska

Neela level 23 17 20 22 mana 443 (expert tactics, air, earth, and fire, implosion on 1950 + expert berserk) 227 master gremlins, 6 angels, 17 nagas, 50 diamond golems, 54 steel golems, 53 and 36 archmages

Valeska 27 23 19 18 (air, earth, offense, defense, air book) 9 archangels, 15 champions, 24 crusaders, 200 marksmen, 26 monks, 50 royal griffins
My opponent went with a stack spam, and I modestly cast slow, he bunched them all together, and that's where mass berserk helped
Thanks for the game

Thank you for the game.

I lost the game.

Well, I'll tell you about my "below average" setup, with Behemoths built in the main castle and a bird secondary town taken in the first week + a secondary Conflux.
- My opponent has Nagas in the Citadel without Djinns + a native secondary town, with Great Colossus and +2 of the same Colossus. --- 147 Nagas in the Citadel, Golems are built in the secondary town, 2 Djinn secondary towns were not taken, magic in both castles is level 1.

I erased everything below. Let it be so. Mystery is a great power!!!

Thank you for the game.

Thanks for the game
Confirmed! In three Dragon Utopias they didn't give anything against magic (neither Red Ball nor Cloak of Resistance). There was nothing to oppose Berserker and Explosion at 2000....

Thanks for the game!

No restarts, I got lucky with the built archers and fast roads. On the first day, I built the maximum number of Necropolises, then on day 5, I got vampires and an artifact against morale. After that, I easily defeated everyone without fear. The secondary town was a Conflux, and Nella was ahead in terms of stats. I built a Castle with cavalry and on day 121, with 40 Great Elves, I arrived at the next secondary town. But I was too late; Nella was already in the Citadel. I stood at the entrance and attacked because the longer I waited, the harder it would be to break through. We fought for a long time, but the Citadel with Nella fell.

Nella 4 8 3 4 (expert in tactics, armor, and initial earth magic, ranged attack deals 40 damage) 5 naga, 80 imps + some gnolls and lizards

Valerica 6 6 3 3 (expert in attack, ranged attack + earth magic, but almost no mana and no ranged attack) 6 champions, 17 swordsmen, 53 archers, 3 monks, 71 pikemen

Thank you for the game.

No restarts, I got lucky with the built archers and fast roads. On the first day, I built the maximum number of crypts, then on the 5th day, I got vampires, where I received an artifact against morale. After that, I calmly defeated everyone without fear. The secondary castle, Nella is ahead in terms of parameters. I built a castle with horses and on day 121, with 40 Great Elves, I came to the next secondary castle. But I didn't make it in time; Nella was already in the Stronghold. I stood at the entrance and attacked because the longer I waited, the harder it would be to break through. We fought for a long time, but the Stronghold with Nella fell.

Nella 4 8 3 4 (expert in tactics, armor, and starting earth, ranged attack with 40 damage) 5 naga, 80 mages + some gnolls and lizards

We restarted for about an hour and finally began. The generation gave us a total chocolate tile: three stacks, respawn up top, max crypt on day one, stable, a trogold conservatory scouted, I see an external dragon dwelling. I was worried about a strong shooter guard at the dragon cave, but even here everything turned out great - a lot of diamond golems. Shakti is grinding hard to break the external dwelling; to reduce losses I even bought him a level in the tree for 10 gems (just got expert offense), the golems turned out to be numerous, and during the breach all the eyes and harpies were lost. On day 115 the dragons died under the onslaught of 100 troglodytes plus singles (only 12 were lost). After that it was straightforward, portal +1 dragon, with this army the conservatory was easily broken for two angels (I lost a scout there, was afraid of third-tier or fourth-tier units since I hadn't recruited them). Deessa grabbed a secondary town while flying on the angels; on day 117 I see the red external archer dwelling at the neighboring respawn behind a horde of gogs. On 121 another +2 angels, and on day 123 Shakti captures not even a secondary town as I had assumed, but the red capital - surrender followed. Thanks for the game.

We restarted for about an hour, then started. The generator gave us a literal chocolate tile: three stacks, a respawn at the top, a max crypt on day one, a stable, a troglodyte conservatory scouted, I see an external dragon dwelling. I was afraid of a strong shooter guard for the dragon cave, but even here everything turned out wonderful - a stack of diamond golems. Shakti is intensively leveled to break the external dwelling; to reduce losses I even bought him a level in the tree for 10 gems (that’s exactly when he got expert offense). There turned out to be quite a few golems, and during the breach all the eyes and harpies died. On day 115 the dragons died under the onslaught of 100 troglodytes plus singles (only 12 died). After that it was simpler, portal +1 dragon. With this army, the conservatory for two angels was broken without any issues (I sacrificed a scout there; I was afraid of a tier 3-4 because I didn’t take them). Deesa meanwhile flew off on the angels and grabbed a secondary town. On day 117 I see the red external archers’ dwelling on the neighboring respawn behind a horde of gogs. On day 121 another +2 angels, and on day 123 Shakti captures not even a secondary town as I assumed, but the red capital - a surrender followed. Thanks for the game.

Another game ruined by the generator. Not only did it give the blue Dungeon chocolate in the form of an external dragon dwelling and 2 tier-2 conservatories on their native respawn, but it also generated a GO on my path as usual, but inside a teleporter that led to a roadless piece of the blue's respawn, and the road from it went not to the capital but to a snowy secondary town. Add to that that the road between the capitals went through a similar patch of the shared secondary town’s respawn, and this road didn’t even enter the secondary town’s castle but connected both capitals so that standing at the start in one, you can reach the next in 1 day. The guard on this road - a horde of gogs - eliminated even the possibility of a restart on day 116. Probably my opponent drew the map himself :D .
But overall, the generator gave me something decent too - on day 122 I was already taking a tier-3 conservatory. The griffins got morale boosts several times each round, so the losses were colossal. I wanted to surrender, seeing that Shakti on dragons and angels was already getting ready to visit, but I thought maybe there was still a day in reserve to break through to the other 2 conservatories, but the generator had its decisive say.

Overall, the problem with crooked generations really spoils the game. There used to be fewer of them somehow; in this duel almost all generations were crooked, and in seasonal games they will soon start being called standard, while standard ones will be called crooked :) .

Thanks for the game. Good luck in the tournament.

start with buying 148 gold worth of Troglodytes and 3 Evil Eyes, Harpies are not purchased
112 Dwarf Cottage for a hundred + Troglodyte growth
113 +Harpy growth and their upgrade, the Hordes weren't that many but they helped take down 50+ marksmen and elves
we leave our underground respawn via wasteland, since our own village was blocked by 99 flies right on the road guarding an artifact.
114 captured the enemy's secondary town, as it turned out from there to the red city it was less than 3 days' travel, but we took the human town faster, and there I didn't show myself because the enemy hadn't broken through the guard yet and possibly didn't expect my diversions...
115 mercenary camp +2 pikemen
at home: Medusas, marketplace, Stronghold; secondary town: marketplace + magic + Grand Elf Cottage
121 +1 Archangel oh miracle!!! it helped later, but more than that it inspired and boosted morale )))
122 broke through the library but level 8
123 +4 Wyverns
124 +scout hero obtained 4 Wyverns by killing over 100 Earth Elementals ))) almost lost more than I gained
125 finally level 10, learned spells and stood at the border of the red respawn
126 capture of the red capital
127 +2 Angels, and return to the Dragon Utopia scouted back on 113
132 it turned out to be a three-stack; at the moment of taking it there wasn't a single artifact, and I was 1000 XP short of Expert Earth, but no time to wait, and since the army wasn't bad: 1 Archangel 2 Angels 3 Cavaliers 8 Wyverns 48 Pikemen 227+1 Troglodyte
losses: 2 Angels 3 Cavaliers 48 Pikemen 3 Wyverns 30 Troglodytes
gave Black Orb + Helm of the Fifth +4 all stats.
returned by breaking through + chain to the former red town and replenished mana there
16-14-10-11
1 Archangel 5 Wyverns 194 Troglodytes 16 Grand Medusas 27 Greater Evil Eyes 6 Mechanized Units
133 entered the Treasury, took all the air without Wisdom, Angel growth, and was between the Boots + Pandora's Box and Dragon Utopia.
134 The Red player, seeing that I'm jumping and flying, throws themselves at the Faerie Dragons; they were guarding the Dragon Utopia + Boots of Speed and, taking irreparable losses, surrender, although the Dragon Utopia had an Air Elemental.
Thanks for the game.

That's what happened. Just a small correction - Galtran was the one who attacked, and at the time he took my capital, he had 6 angels and 200+ skeletons. But seeing the situation, he took a risk (4 fire elementals attacked the angels, leaving only 1) - because he wouldn't have been given much time to wander around, as he needed to gather a couple of thousand skeletons. Thanks for the game.
