smoke_mk (blue, Stronghold, Kreg, Kreg) def SEM_56 (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(2) 231

Confirmed, the magic ban spell decided everything. I also had an earth expert, slow, regeneration, and explosion. Thanks for the game...

invisible (red, Castle, Valenska, Valenska) def bRitvo4kA (blue, Barbarian, Gurni, Gurni) 2sm4d(3) 143

Confirmed. In the third week, I made a fatal mistake by deciding to explore the sands in search of a good spot, where I received 15k experience and a group of champion earth elementals after a hundred magma elementals. I also should have been defeated by creeps, bought out in the capital, and passed on troops in a chain, as the opponent arrived at the respawn point. Due to a lack of money, I didn't manage to build Beggars. I should have calmly taken Maxinagbank and Conserv, instead of taking risks.

P.S. I immediately confirmed your thanks for the game, and if that's not enough for you, I'll kiss you later, if you want :D

smoke_mk (Red Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Prince (Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d 132
I confirm. Only a fool could lose with such a great setup.

Pit - in sake of LM (blue, Tower, Nella, Nella) def Scorp(red, Castle, Valeska, Christian), 2sm4d(3), 144.

Thank you for both games.

I confirm and my congratulations!

111 immediately into Christian's pahan, under the castle took a logistician (in a verified witch hut), then captured another hut, but didn't go in myself without checking (the state there was also excellent) and by the end of the turn advanced artillery. There were 3 heroes with artillery and 2 already with advanced. On 113 broke through 20-49 harpy stacks into the secondary zone off-road. On 116 captured the native secondary zone and revealed the watchtower. I saw ГО, also a blocked road, which I thought led to the opponent's captured secondary zone (I was mistaken), the entrance to the subway. 117 1-6 without 5 in the Citadel, in the secondary zone there were archers in the Citadel, gold still 8k+. On 125 Christian was before two entrances to treasure zones: one into the underground and one in the sands, and since he took Pathfinding during leveling, he went into the sands; there was a Pandora's box visible right at the edge for 10-19 hydras, which I could take without mass magic (I leveled the hero poorly and later suffered from it: Leadership, Artillery, Logistics, Attack, Water Magic, Pathfinding, Wisdom, and Archery — I took Archery because there were many archers and there was no point leaving it for some better skill). It gave 30 monks — I should have been happy but somehow wasn't, as I already had plenty of shooters, but melee units: 7 champions and 14 pokemons. I gathered all scouts for exploration in the sands and therefore neglected the chain home; I didn't even think about it. I captured the hive but didn't go in yet, as the scouts hadn't arrived to give the archers. I walked around and looked, and there was nothing more, except for 2 Pandora's boxes (for 5-9 archdevils and 20-49 thunderbirds — which without Tactics would have been problematic for me) and an external dwelling of angels, which was in the opposite corner from Christian. That's where the fairy tale ended: on 135, Nella's ГО was breached. There was no chain, so I gave up on the castle. The scouts consumed the hive (max) and transferred everything to Christian. I broke into the secondary zone to quickly reach the second treasure zone in the underground, but there too there was nothing except armor +4/+4 attack/defense and a hive (min).

Thanks for the game!

Scorp (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Pit - in sake of LM (blue, Rampart, Kairi, Charna), 2sm4d(3), 215.

I didn't write a report, because I had net issues on my side and I offered a draw. - no comments PS(Thanks!)

Regarding the game: having ended up in a swamp treasure zone, I ate to the fullest (with wings, control, and the red orb — no stress). In the treasure zone, I took 2 external dwellings of hydras by day 7 and bought them out. At one point I was left without castles and had to return; I captured one on the day, replenished mana, and flew back — to finish collecting the armor of the damned for the red orb. And then later, internet troubles.

Thanks for the game.

Prince (Dess Citadel, Crag Hack) def smoke_mk (Valeska Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d 145
Started without restarts. In the tavern, Crag has three stacks. 116 native secondary hero. Bears on 117 in the citadel. Birds in the secondary hero 123. Attack is growing rapidly. 144, the opponent went straight through the respawn point of my secondary hero. I take the maximum defense and attack Valeska. The battle is won because Crag's stats are higher. Thanks for the game.

bRitvo4kA (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Monstro (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor), 2SM4d(3), 223

Started without rests.
Developed for a month. In the first week of the second month, I bypass with heroes and attack the capital, which is practically unguarded, then take his secondary Rampart town. On 221, the opponent retakes the capital with a left hero and releases troops. That same day, I take the capital back. Ivor was wandering somewhere around the Dragon Utopia, as his stats increased by an order of magnitude immediately. Next, I break through ГО, crash runs, and take the utopia where it gives the sentinel's shield, hell sword, and orator's hat. On the same turn Gurni 32, 28, 16, 16, 3 ang., 7 gr. run., 31 cyclops, 29 birds, 20 gr. uni., 64 orcs attacks Ivor 22,25,17,11, 4 ang., 5 zel., 34 uni., 25 gr.tree, 64 grand, 4 pegasi, who appeared on the grass. The advantage in meat and stats determined the result of the battle.
Thanks for the game!

Prince (Dess Citadel, Crag Hack) def smoke_mk (Valeska Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d 145
He rushed again...

invisible (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Smoke_mk (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 124
On turn 123, Smoke appears from nowhere and doesn't even reach my empty castle, stopping one tile away :eek:. Luckily, Ivor was nearby and had just taken an angel. I bought everything and attacked...
Thanks for the game.

invisible (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Smoke_mk (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 124
I needed to attack the gargoyle on level 122 to avoid wasting a turn in battle, and at least use a harpy to scatter the miners. I'll teach you how to defend castles:smile42:.

ewgeniy (blue, random, Fortress, jabarkas, gundula) def MNH (red, Necropolis, vokial, vokial) 8MM6 2 4 5
This was just insane - I spent the whole game following vokial, who had control. I had terrible luck - I built 3 GM (1 with a library), but I only found Implode.
Gundula storms vokial's home base:
12 14 18 6(160) 12 grizzlies, 102+1 thunderbirds (2 outer defenses, didn't lose a single bird:)), 32 +1+ 1 cyclops, 56 wolves advanced water + clone, earth expertise with a ball (1950 Implode), resurrect on 15 birds. Vokial 11 19 18 10(160) 49 vampire grunts, 9 cyclops, about 200 orcs, 24 ogres, 50 goblins, I think that's all...
The battle wasn't very eventful - vokial summoned 72 earth elementals, and gundula resurrected 15 birds, and the birds destroyed half of the earth elementals in one turn, and the rest were finished off by the horde and 12 grizzlies.
Thanks for the game;) You shouldn't have holed up in the castle - you should have found the last Utopia (it would have taken me 2 weeks to get there), then I would have surrendered.

Slav4eG (blue Conflux, random, Gelar Brissa) def Tyazhely Sluchay (red Stronghold, Gurni Gurni) 2sm4d(3) 223.

The game dragged on because they couldn't break through to each other. On turn 216, Gurni breaks through the main defense and captures my Conflux, where a level 5 Grand Mage is built. Gurni stays there until Brissa arrives. On turn 223, Brissa kills Gurni in the castle. GG.

Thanks for the game!

Slav4eG (blue Conflux, random, Gelar Briss) def Тяжелый случай (red Stronghold, Gurni Gurni) 2sm4d(3) 223.

Thanks for the game!

That's how it was. There were 40 angels + 8 greater angels on the Guardian. There was an expert earth mage, but without slow, it was tough. I lost 2 bears, 2 angels, 7 birds, and some other minor units. After taking the opponent's capital, I had to retreat home) Thanks for the game.

El Magnifico Sonic` (blue, Conflux, random, Tunarr, Galthran) def Vladimir (red, Fortress, Alkin, Alkin) 2sm4d(3) 146.

On the first week, birds in the fort, on the second, Griffin Conservatory (1), Inferno secondary, on the third, native secondary where I placed 1-3 with Citadel, on the fourth, I storm the GO (92 Wizards) and on 144 I take the capital, on 145 there was no attack, on 146 I leave the city and run into Alkin in the open field! Galthran (6-6-8-7) 10 birds, 1 angel, 93 Storm elementals, 62 Ice elementals and 206 skeletons, Alkin (5-7-2-1) 27 Serpent Flies, 58 Greater Basilisks, 60 Greater Gnolls, 6 Wyverns!!! After the battle, the title of BEHEMOTH is awarded in the table (353 points)!!!

Thanks to the opponent for the game!!! :smile17:

Yes, that is indeed exactly how it happened.
In my defense, I can say that in my opinion I was very unlucky with the starting conditions: with the monsters I encountered at the very beginning, which made the development of my town extremely difficult!.. Also, this is only my first battle here... must admit, I lack experience...
After the capital was captured, I realized that with the army Alkin had, I couldn't retake it, and I went to the bottom of the map, hoping to capture a neutral town there. There was indeed a town there, but Galthran came after me immediately after the capture, he had a greater turn and caught up with my hero before he reached the town. Although, even if I had captured it, it wouldn't have changed anything.

Thanks to the opponent for the game!!! But... I hope it's not the last.

SEM_56 (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Heavy Case (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 222
At the start, there were 47 centaurs, not many. But I found 3 resource nodes, a unicorn lair, and wood. In the end, on the 2nd week, I lost to 28 minotaurs, and 25 grand griffons and 75 centaurs went to the afterlife. One stack was upgraded, and morale played its role. On the 3rd week, scouting revealed news about a nearby secondary town. After defeating 36 griffons and 89 centaurs, I took the secondary town and built it up to wood and a castle. On the 4th week, I took another nearby secondary town, acquired two resource nodes +5 angels, and was planning to go for Utopia, but then I saw Shakti rushing and decided to stay in my castle. The meat advantage was more than convincing, and the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game...
