cornered and surrendered without a fight =(

Proudly came through ГО, took the main castle, but when he saw Pyra's magic power:eek: , he turned around and ran to take the Dragon Utopia on the swamp. They gave him wings. He flew and flew and found nothing useful.
Thanks for the game.

This is just insane - I was chasing Vokial all game, who had control. I was incredibly unlucky - I built 3 Great Magi (1 with a library), but I only found Implosion.
Gundula storms Vokial's home base:
12 14 18 6(160) 12 Grizzlies, 102+1 Thunderbirds (2 external summons, didn't lose a single bird:)), 32 +1+ 1 Cyclops, 56 Wolves advanced, water + clone, earth expert with a ball (1950 Implosion), Resurrect on 15 birds. Vokial 11 19 18 10(160) 49 Vampire Lords, 9 Cyclops, about 200 Orcs, 24 Ogres, 50 Goblins, I think that's all...
The battle wasn't very interesting - 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 trash units and 12 Grizzlies.
Thanks for the game;) You shouldn't have stayed 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.

Well, let's just say it was late, and I needed to sleep :rolleyes:, but in general, I would have won even without the Utopia, I just needed more time (I wasn't running away from you ;) I was looking for the Utopia), I gave you a head start (again ;), in general, everything happened as Eugene described - thanks for the game.)

Loi(red,dungeon,Shakti,Shakti)def Sticky Fingaz(blue,ramp,Ivor,Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 121
On turn 121, Shakti, level 12 (Pandora with 10,000 experience, gained from 46 gold golems - experience log, attack, tactics, earth), three castles, with manticores in the main castle and the citadel. I didn't have time to paint the manticores' lair yet. The opponent had internet issues and decided not to continue, congratulating me on the victory.
Thank you for the game.

scorp (red, Tower, Aine, Nila) def Smoke_mk (blue, Castle, Valessa, Valessa) 2sm4d(3), 142
Everything was going smoothly until 132, when I wandered into the swamp.
135 I took a conservatory there for 2 angels and prepared to go to the Tower, but I didn't dare, waited for the growth shipment.
I saw in the Thieves Guild that Scorp has phoenixes. And the defense parameters aren't bad either.
137 I took the red capital, where all the growth had been bought out. Sent scouts up the road and at 141 revealed the secondary hero with phoenixes. And broke through the snipers along the road with Valessa and 2 angels. Didn't transfer the troops and ended the turn:eek:. Well, the rest is clear.
Thanks for the game

ewgeniy (blue, castle, valeska, valeska) def scorp (red, stronghold, gurnisson, gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 2 1 4
We chose all restarts (+1 for me due to no-road situation) and I got a decent layout (before that Valka was losing in the crypt, or losing many archers) - on 113 native secondary skill, on 121 conflux - first week - 1 -4 in the Citadel both castles - severely lacking wood. At the start of the second week I take the dungeon in the underground and follow the road - I come out to the stone border:rolleyes: but I don't dare go in - 60 archers and a couple of pokemons. I wait for reinforcements and take the level 1 Griffin Conservatory, which red had scouted the day before.
I approach the crossroads, and I have fatal bad luck - the castle is two steps away but I go in the other direction:eek:. Gurnisson sits in the castle and I don't dare knock him out of there.
I go back to my territory, and during the 3rd week I gather all sorts of junk (in the tavern, Gurnisson is slightly behind Valka in leveling - nice:rolleyes:). At the start of the 4th I take a minimal Dragon Utopia and get the Sphere of Aspiration and Dragon Scale Armor. I go through the entire treasure zone - gather 35 dragons and lose 2 angels out of 7 preserved:smile27: I set angels at the end of the 4th here and there, gather my forces and ignoring the commotion near the conflux (Gurnisson uses DD to take it and scoots back) I go to take his castle. I fall short by 3-4 movement points. The entire arrival force scrams to Gurnisson, I take the empty castle and run home. Gurnisson returns home and on 2 1 4 I catch him in the castle:
Valka 21 lvl, Leadership, Archery, Earth, Water and Logistics expert, Wisdom and Resistance 2nd level, Cloak of Undeath, +1 Speed, Bow +5%. 22 18 8 11 (110) 14 angels, 65 royal griffins, 50 monks, 17 cavalry, 175 crossbowmen, 92 swordsmen (ah, too bad I didn't upgrade them) and 35 dragons.
Gurnisson 17 lvl, Attack, Artillery, Earth, Wisdom and Logistics expert, Tactics and Catapult Management advanced, basic Air, Sphere of Permanence, +1 Speed, Speaker's Hat. 17 11 5 4 (20) 13 grizzly bears (gray), 10 thunderbirds, 25 ogres, 28 orcs, 13 goblins.
Red dumped all troops into the moat through expert Tactics, which slightly dampened the joy of victory:smile19:
Thanks for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Loi (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.7.

In the first week - Unicorns in the Castle, 2 Angel Statues and one Consort were found.

In the second week - I take them all (Consort-Duo).

In the third week - I visit Valera, and he kindly left his Castle for me. I also take his secondary town.

In the fourth week - Valera comes to reclaim his Castle, the game freezes, and Valera congratulates me on the victory.

Thank you, Valera, for the game!

It happened. On the third [week], I decided to bet on the treasure zone, but in the Dragon Utopia they gave me trash-spog levitation, mana +2, something for alertness, a piece of Legion. I messed around and came back with 6 horses and 13 vivs. Perhaps I should have hunkered down in the castle, but (having played poorly on the second—falling into a financial hole) I was giving up the initiative for a long time then.
Thanks for the game!

SEM_56 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Xunter (blue, Rampart, Mefana, Mefana) 2sm4d(3) 134
3 stacks of archers arrived, normal. Explored the territory, found 4 resources. On turn 122, I attack, dealing 85 damage to thieves, 73 damage to mages, and 34 damage to earth elementals. I jump into a portal and see the opponent's territory. I decided not to attack the guards (a stack of spearmen) and went to find more troops. I upgraded champions, spearmen, and crusaders and moved forward. My Valeska is level 9, with stats 9, 10, 8, 7, and expert in leadership, archery, cunning, and logistics. With her army, I have 92 spearmen, 38 archers, 6 champions, 18 crusaders, and 28 griffins. I see the opponent near a portal and attack. The opponent had 9 unicorns, 42 grand griffins, and 68 centaurs. I won the battle, but lost all my archers, crusaders, and griffins. During this turn, I also kill 2 heroes on the way to the castle, and my second hero occupies an empty castle. Thanks for the game.

We started immediately, and I began to mess up - I forgot to build the dwellings, and at 121 I intended to buy them only to discover their complete absence; after that, things went own sluggishly, and at 131 I took the library and headed into the swamp treasury. There, over 4 days, I got gloves, a +2/2 sword, a +6 shield, 3 angels, 10k experience, and then headed toward my opponent, who appeared at my secondary town. He fled back into that same swamp loot, but from another side, where there was the Dragon Utopia, a couple of hives + chests. I took his capital and caught up with him in the swamp, where he hit me with rockfall (only now did I realize it was a hit-and-run) and bought himself off. Then I chased after him - he went into the snow - while I successfully entered the underground on the way (there are wings right at the entrance) - and ignoring everything else, I followed him; with flight, catching up was no problem, and along the way I saw bracers behind hydras, which I gobbled up, hoping there was no well in the snow. There was no well...

That's how it was =) I was lucky that I didn't find the well =)))) As for (hit-and-run): An attacking hero does not have the right to retreat in the first round of battle if they have used combat magic or any other spell that in one way or another dealt any damage to the opponent. This restriction does not apply to the defending hero.

Loi(red,castle,Valeska,Valeska) def Sem_56(blue,ramp, Ellezar, Ellezar) 2sm4d(3), 142
I was born in the center, but after breaking through to the grass I see an external dwelling of swords :). On the first turn, horses into the Citadel, market in the secondary. On the second, I cleared the secondary, since there was no native one as such (barely managed to fit a castle there by a miracle), and another road was blocked by a hefty double shooter guard. In short, by the end of the third — a breakthrough through the secondary, didn't even take all the crusaders. I marched for about two days; during the assault, 3 angels joined in and took out 20 Grand Elves. They hit hard with magic and slowed mercilessly, but 14 Wyverns helped, and in the end the horses decided the fight.
Thanks for the game.

I was born in the center, but after breaking through to the grass I see an external dwelling of swords :). On the first week, [I went to] the Citadel with creatures, market in the secondary. On the second, I was clearing the secondary, because I didn't really have a proper native area (barely managed to fit a castle there by a miracle), and another road was blocked by a strong double shooter guard. In short, by the end of the third — breakthrough through the secondary, didn't even take all the crusaders. It took about two days; during the assault, 3 angels joined in and took out 20 grand elves.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm, the game was not in my favor, whims of fate and the opponent was ahead, thanks for the game. I didn't play very well, and I paid for it...:smile14: :smile22: :mad:
