Lider1 (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Galthran) def Babek (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2SM4d(3) 2.3.4

On the first day, two Griffin Conservatories and 1-6 in the Citadel.

On the second day, an external dwelling of Beholders, a Medusa dwelling, a Hive with 6 Wyverns, a revealed Griffin Conservatory 3-4 angels + a secondary Dungeon town, a portal. I'm planning an invasion.

On the third day, I take the Hive (8), go on the attack, but I see that Gosh was 1 hex short of entering the Castle, and I of COURSE am 2 hexes short. FAILURE! And no Ballistics. I realize I have to go take the Dragon Utopia. I fight, take the Dragon Utopia, a two-handed weapon, a helmet + 6 Power of Lich. And a bag. Two more Griffin Conservatories, both level 3.

On the 4th day, I go to the red player, recapture my main Castle and a secondary town. And I sat STUPIDLY waiting for the blue player to come recapture the castles instead of going to the treasury and devouring two Dragon Utopias.

On the 5th day, I continue my stupid waiting. I took a level 2 Griffin Conservatory with leftovers.

On the 6th day, I finally came to my senses, took a Dragon Utopia — a level 5 hat and a shield + 4 Power of Lich, an external dwelling of Angels, I revealed myself, Gosh attacked, and I felt the power of magic.

On the 7th day, I dive into the treasury, take two more Dragon Utopias, recapture the Wings. I got greedy, wanted one more Dragon Utopia, didn't have enough movement to attack it, and I thought that if Gosh attacked, I would flee, but it turned out he had the Shackles of War. And I got hit, although victory was veeeery close.

Thanks for the game.

I promise to take revenge !!!

It was... Seeing a consulate and a stable next to the castle, and also Galtran in the tavern, I decided to play, but it turned out to be a mistake... We decided to play a new game!

invisible (red, random, Rampart, random, Malcolm, Ivor) def Dirty_Player (blue, random, Castle, random, Turis, Turis) 2sm4d(3) 146

And this is what happened! In the second game, I got angels in the castle + a capitol. I was very unlucky in the gnome-pre-max game, when the gnomes were given morale 4 times, I left all the monks and archers. Then I lost the spearmen, defending the Titan Shield from 35 black knights without magic. At that moment, Ivor arrives. I decide to storm the utopia with what I had, but I lose...

Thank you for the games!!!

OUTLAW(blue,Rampart,Ivor,Tazar) def Dubrovin Pavel(red,Castle,Valeska,Valeska), 2SM4d(3), 3-1-3
Pasha used all rests. On 111-112, 5 crypts are spotted; Tazar is in the tavern - I decide to play. To be honest, during the first week I completely messed up by not finding fast paths to the lumber mill, and as a result, I didn't have enough wood for the castle. All crypts were minimums :mad: Tazar grabbed Water magic, there are 2 heroes with +350; by 117 -1-6 in the citadel. At the start of the 2nd week, Tazik grabbed Leadership and faith in him wavered....124 - a tunnel to the underground was broken through. 127 - native secondary town, there are elves in the fort, houses - castle with wood growth + wood external dwelling. Tazarych decided to come to his senses and took Logistics.
On 131, a scout in the underground finds the road to Pasha - a meeting is imminent....
133 - Valya appeared in the underground with few angels. 134 - Valya takes the council and reveals a flock of champions and many swordsmen :mad: ; I rush Tazarych to 2 banks. Reds take Dungeon. 135 - Valya goes home. Tazar takes bank(2), at home Mage Guild 1-4 - they give clone and chain lightning. 136 - bank(2). On 137 houses-dragons, in secondary -1-6 with citadel. 141 - hive with 8 wyverns. 143 - Tazar descends into the underground treasure zone. 144 - Valya goes to her treasure zone. On 145 I find wings!!!!! I broke everything in the treasure zone using mass weakness :D (which is perfect for a defense expert), since I had no other mass magic. On 147 Valya fights in Dungeon and heads toward my towns. Tazik is already lvl 18 with 18 defense. 211 - library. On 212, I buy out the main part of the troops from the main castle using a scout and hide in the bushes.... On 213 - I lose the main town. 216 - I descend into the second underground treasure zone. On 217 - I lose the last town. Then, after running around the treasure zone for a bit, I managed to take the Fortress in the swamp on the last day. After that, the entire second month was maneuvers - Tazik ran through treasure zones, breaking 2 Dragon Utopia, a bunch of Pandoras, and shook up some ducks, which he successfully wasted in battles (((. And Valeska patrolled the borders of my former holdings. Once I managed to jump into my former secondary town to buy back the crew. In the Fortress, wyverns were growing in the castle. On 246, I fly from the swamps to my native castle, breaking a chain of reds. On 247 - I take back my main town and buy up troops. Pasha had previously kindly broken through the wood external dwelling as well, so they had been steadily accumulating all this time and were waiting for daddy :D. Upgrade oranges.
311 - I buy out fully and hide in the castle, fearing that the tavern will show my army as stronger than Pasha's - I really wanted to defend behind native walls rather than in the field, especially since the reds have expert tactics.
I put on an artifact against morale, although I have expert leadership myself, but you never know.....
On 313 Valya storms my castle:
Tazarych lvl 23(28-30-16-13/260) Expert: defense, water, leadership, logistics, attack, wisdom, earth, archer(+15% to skill) with 4 oranges, 20 uniques, 25 monarch wyverns, 77 grands, 101 gr.tree :smile16: , 43 silver pegasi, 343 gr.centaur
Valeska lvl 19(13-12-21-14) Expert: leadership, archer(+10% to skill), tactics, defense, attack, air and basic wisdom and earth
18 archangels, 2 greens, 57 champions, 117 royal griffins, 78 crusaders, 113 archers, 45 fanatics.
1st round: reds use tactics to place almost all units forward, the archer does about 600 hits and halves the grands. I use explosion(1500 hits) to take out 6 archangels; the remaining grands take out 1/3 of the archers. By the 2nd round, Pasha, seeing the hopelessness of the situation, leaves the game. Tazar, as always, is on point :smile20:
Thanks for the game, Pasha.

I confirm!

On the bright side, I took the Horsemen's lair on week 2. On the downside, I got nothing good in 2 Treasury buildings. I tried not to let Tazar into the Castles, but you can't fight against the Wings, and I didn't have enough money to completely destroy the growth from Igor's two native Ramparts.

Thanks to Igor for the game!

Javdet (red,Dungeon,Gunnar,Gunnar)def Loi (blue,castle,Valeska,Gundula) 2SM4d(3), 127

That was a close game. The heavily blocked wood mine and the lack of wood piles in the secondary wood mine prevented me from deploying knights. When breaking through to the secondary mine, I lost all the progress from the first week (I had to manually finish off 6 marks against 44 morale-boosting orc chieftains). Seeing that there was no wood, I decided to rely on surprise – I exchanged everything and attacked. The lack of proper development for the so-called "dad" and the lack of magic predetermined my defeat in the battle.
Thank you for the game.

Difficult case (red, conflux, random - Ciel, Ciel) def MAX 12 (blue, rampart, ivory, ivory) 2SM4d(3), 134

In the second week, I had already painted all the creatures in the castle that I could, except for the fire creatures. I was preparing for an invasion. On day 134, my opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game!

Hardcore (blue, Castle, Valeska) def DubrovinPoll (red, Rampart, Tazar) 1-4-1 2sm4d(3)
Thanks for the game.

Confirmed!

After all the restarts, I was only given Goblins. Half of the map was cut off by mountains, leaving no way to reach the Wood Mine and the money resources. Lizards were not built.

In the first week, with 2 Vivs, 9 Lizards, 7 Dragonflies, and 32 Goblins, I broke through 60+ Zombie groups on the secondary map of Conflux, and Vivs and Dragonflies were stationed in the Castle.

In the second week, I built a secondary Rampart, and everything else, except for Hydras. I found a Treasure with Utopia, took the Boots of Swiftness, frantically searched in Guilds for Slow to Expert of Earth Magic, and found it in the last built one.

In the third week, I returned to the Main map to take Cons 3-4, but the opponent, after breaking through the Liches, ruined the plans, took out everyone he could from the Main map, went to the treasure, took a Hive with 8 Vivs there, and then, after breaking through 30 Unicorns guarding the left Artifact, took another Hive with 4 Vivs. This army turned out to be not enough to take Utopia-Tier 3, where there were a Helmet +6 to everything, Gladius of the Titan, and Armor of the Titan.

Thanks for the game!

Everything is correct. To be continued)

OUTLAW (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def. Dubrovin Pavel (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2SM4d(3), 2-1-1 We both chose all restarts. I even refused a map with a horse rush, which could have been exploited in the early game. But there were only 2 paths: one to the secondary resource on stones, blocked by a double stack of Crusaders and Lizardmen, and the other was blocked by a group of Black Knights guarding the Hive. The starting town was small, and there was almost no money, so even horses might not be affordable... This was a 3x3 map, with paths leading to the Grail of Order and two Teleport locations. The start was without built-up Archers' Guilds. By day 117, I had horses in the main town, hidden Archers and Pikemen. Valeska was level 5 (4-8-3-1). I broke through to the grass near the Rampart's secondary resource, but didn't quite reach it. I found 4 treasure chests and 2 Hives. On the second day, I moved in chains to defend against the enemy's attacks. By day 127, I had 1-6 units in the Castle and 1-3 in the Rampart's fort, with a hidden stack of Elves. Valeska was only level 8 (5-11-5-1). I found 2 more Hives, and each town had 1,000 income. On the third day, I broke through 4 treasure chests (3+4+4+6), 2 Hives + 12 Wyverns, and had Angels in the main town. I finished building the Spotted Yaks in the secondary town. Valeska was level 12 (12-14-6-4). At the beginning of the fourth week, I rushed to the underground treasure, breaking through a crowd of troops for the Pandora, which contained 26 Gold Golems (I had to sacrifice 12 Wyverns :mad: ). Then, I lost 30+ Archers while attacking Wizards. I took a second-level Utopia, losing some Pikemen. I received a Key, a Shield +12, and an Amulet of Lightning. I moved a chain of 12 Wyverns from the Hive near the Grail of Order, and the army retreated back to the underground treasure. On the next turn (146), Kirr broke through the Grail of Order, but didn't quite reach my town. I moved Valeska back home, retrieved the army, and bought what was needed. On day 147, Kirr changed his mind about attacking and went home. I attacked on my own. Valeska level 15 (10-22-7-5) with 3 Angels, 13 Champions, 12 Wyverns, 79 Archers, 15 Fanatics, 42 Grand Griffins, 23 Gold Golems. Kirr level 18 (14-15-7-7/150) with 3 Green Dragons, 2 Angels, 13 Horned Beasts, 45 Grand Griffins, 27 Dryads, 53 Griffin Knights, 24 Storms. In the first round, Kirr used tactics to protect his Archers. I immediately cast an explosion on the Grand Griffins (leaving 6-7). Then, there was a methodical blinding of my attacking stacks, and I managed to cast Antimagic on the Grand Griffins. I somehow broke through the Storm stack (leaving 5-6). Overall, I had to pay 18,000 gold (with 13 Champions, 7 Wyverns, 60 Archers) to avoid being bombarded with magic and blinding, but most of the forest army was already killed (leaving 5 Horned Beasts, 25 Dryads, 5 Storms, and 2 Grand Griffins). I bought Swordsmen and Pikemen in my main town. I waited for new reinforcements, and my next target was another Hive, with serious guards, presumably a max or near-max Hive. On day 211, Pasha conceded the game. Thank you, Pavel, for the game. ____________________________________________ How Long Will They Mourn Me? Tupac Amaru Shakur

Loi(blue, castle, Valeska, Dessa) def Ewgeniy(red, dung, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 134
The start was difficult — an external dwelling of archers and also the road, blocked by sorceresses guarding the fetters (who later played a fatal role for Evgeniy). The other road had a double ranged guard, so I took the winding path downwards and grabbed my native on 117. First week — cavalry at the Citadel in the main town, and in the secondary — a Citadel, an external dwelling of swords. The second week was spent busily setting up two castles and making sure I had enough gold to buy up in case of a rush. By the second week — a Castle in the main town, levels 1-4 at the Citadel in the secondary. At the start of the second Cons 2, I headed towards the goodies on my native to stock up and head to the treasure zone — when I spotted movement on the secondary. I had to split up, hire out, and wait with the fetters. Shakti eventually breaks through and arrives. The income from two castles and the fetters allowed me to secure victory.
Thank you for the game and the sportsmanship.

what can I say - the shackles broke the whole game - after the presumed ransom, a purse was being collected and not far from the castle there was a confluence 3 or 4, a library, and nearby the Dragon Utopia... but shackles are shackles :)

Pit - for the sake of LM (blue, Tower, Nella, Nella) defeated bRitvo4kA (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson), 2SM4d(3), 131. Took a restart on 111 and arranged a meeting on 116, after which the game began. The first week went quite well - secondary Castle and Necropolis were taken, naga with the Castle were built, there is a native secondary, but the passage is guarded by groups of elves. On 117, Nella is only level 2, but half the map is revealed. 121 - gnome warehouse with 15 units. 122 - medusa warehouse with 6 units. 123 - conservatory for 1 angel, breaking through to the native secondary. 124 - took the city, saw Gurnisson nearby, reached him in the last seconds of the turn, didn't even have time to properly arrange the troops. Nella (2, 4, 3, (3)), expert in defense, advanced literacy, basic earth magic and wisdom, 156 master gremlins, 1 angel, 6 naga, 12 mages, 8 golems against Gurnisson (11, 3, 2, (15)), expert in attack, artillery, and ranged combat, advanced logistics, 16 orcs, 6 archers, 90 goblins, 12 air elementals, 5 wolves, and 11 rocs (the second week turned out to be the week of rocs). In the second round, when the danger of the ballista was realized, the gremlins had a morale boost, and they, along with the mages and magic arrow, destroyed it. In the third round, the gremlins, with luck, destroyed 6 rocs, and the naga killed 40 goblins. Gurnisson bought his way out with 4 rocs, 50 goblins, and some change, killing a naga and several mages. Nella went on the attack, giants are being built in the capital, and mages in the secondary. On 131, an assault on the Stronghold with Gurnisson took place. The opponent was short on money, so the Castle was not built, and only 5 behemoths were added to the army (there was an ambush). Nella, on the other hand, was let down by the external market, and she easily won. Thank you for the game.

Pit - in sake of LM (blue, Tower, Nella, Nella) def bRitvo4kA (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson), 2SM4d(3), 131.

That's exactly what happened. The opponent was lucky with the map layout - 3 paved roads to other castles :smile27:, which allowed him to quickly clear different territories. I only had one road to the secondary Conflux. Later, I slowly pushed through with a mixed army through the rocks and teleported to the snows, where I was met by blue and suffered a heavy loss, which influenced the outcome of the game.
