Loi(red,castle,Valeska, Valeska) def WhiteLizard(blue,necr,Galtran,Galtran) 2sm4d(3), 1.3.6.

Well, that's how it is... I didn't take the game seriously again.

P.S. Loi is an honest player.

on day 7 I picked up the native secondary hero — but on the second day I lost the maximum crypt — positioned my troops incorrectly. Scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories, one at 2-3 or 4, in the army 5 unicorns, 17 pegasi, the secondary has 117 elves. News of the surrender arrived. Thanks for the game

He just threw his army into a maxed-out Imp base. He wasn't making 500 rubles a day from his home territory. It was pointless to continue.

Moderated: INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE in the message

There was no point in continuing.
:smile18:
You win.

I lost units 3 times during the game and was about to surrender because there was absolutely no tempo. From the start: 16 elves, an external dwelling of wood and centaurs, 2 experience crystals that all the scrubs failed to check properly. Guna showed up in the tavern, so I decided to level both him and Kyrr. On day 115, Kyrr thought she was hot stuff and attacked 20+ swordsmen. As expected, there were 48 of them with an upgraded stack. Total wipe and a complete financial pit, but Kyrr redeemed herself since she was already level 5 with Earth magic. End of week one: horses in the citadel, upgraded centaurs and elves. On the second week, Guna breaks into the underground with just the horses, losing one horse to thieves :(. The underground is as quiet as a grave, fighting for every piece of gold. At the native respawn, I spot a conservatory (3-4), another one in the underground, and a Naga Bank nearby. On the second day, dumping all resources to zero, I built a castle and bought everything on day 131, took the Naga Bank for 20 Nagas (the Nagas had 7 morale, I thought it was game over), and rushed into the conservatory without even checking what it was. There was Mass Slow, but only enough mana for one Slow and Shield cast. It turned out to be a level 3; moral griffins bit my Grand Elves to death. I escaped with 6 horses. I split up in my native town, refill mana, and run to the second conservatory; meanwhile, my noob heroes are chain-farming money. While taking a Medusa dwelling with a noob hero, I saw another conservatory and decided to send Kyrr there. She was a decent secondary hero, level 7 with advanced Earth magic, but no spell book. Guna takes the max conservatory but loses 2 horses and an angel, sad... Kyrr takes the second conservatory, which turned out to be a mini :(, then finds and takes an external dwelling of Pegasi and another one of centaurs. Guna galloped to a Treasury, where from the scout view I see a couple of Hives, a gold mine, a Pandora's Box, and a Library. When breaking the guard of the Pandora's Box, I was offered a choice between Artillery or Fire Magic. I took Fire, and the box gave me all Fire spells :smile12:. Found a Dragon Utopia, took it — minimal level, gave Titan's Armor. I split up to a secondary hero and run to the second Treasury, where I took a couple of Pandora's Boxes (experience and 50 zombies) and discover a level 3 Dragon Utopia, which gave +8 all stats and Wings. Then I see Pasha going on the offensive: a flock of Archangels :eek: :eek:, hordes of marksmen, etc. I think it's over, split up to the main hero and wait for the attack. There were 11 Archangels, almost 200 pikemen, 100+ marksmen, close to a hundred griffins. I planned either Expert Berserker or summoning elementals right away and then Armageddon, but Pasha had so much meat that I might not have survived until the end of the next round. He cast Mass Slow, I cluster near the unicorns (plus I have Expert Resistance), and Armageddon-death for 2200 damage. All my 12 horses and 20 Pegasi standing near them survived. Pasha had only 2 Archangels left, one of which was finished off by a horse. Capitulation.
Thanks for the game.

By the way, a question for those who know: Pasha had a Black Sphere... So why did my Resistance work?! I know it behaves differently, but please remind an old man with a maiden's memory))

Thank you for the game.

I confirm!

Second - Angels.
Third - Conflux-Tier 3 on its native map and Conflux-Mini on the Dungeon secondary map.
Found only 1 Utopia (Black Orb, Hat +10 Mana), wandered through the underground passages for 3-4 extra turns, but found nothing.

Went to Sergey, was defeated by Armageddon.

Thank you for the game!

He came himself =)

Thanks for the game!

That was a game! :) I didn't expect Shakthi to be such an expert, so I decided to take a risk with 35 archers (that was my main tactic; Shakthi had an Angel).

It was a pleasure to play with an “old” Heroes of Might and Magic Online player; as they say, welcome to our community. We played all random, and I spawned in the Dungeon, but quickly made my way up and advanced Xy in magic, then immediately got Earth magic, which provided a slow effect. Xy and Izra together cut down skeletons, I took an air elemental and on turn 121, I got a secondary hero – a Conflux. The result of the week: ghosts and zombies in the Fortress. On turn 121, Xy replenished mana and headed for another secondary hero through a crowd of centaurs; meanwhile, pixies took the other hero to be castrated and upgraded the air elemental. On turn 124, I break through a hundred centaurs, take a shield +5 from the Cerberus, hit 20+ green dragons, and see a blue flag :eek:. It turned out that I had arrived at the enemy’s respawn point and almost reached his castle :eek:. The Necromancer rushed the Rampart on the second week :eek:. In short, 220+ skeletons, and 21 storm with mass slow killed 20 simple elves, 5 horses, and a few centaurs.
Thank you for the game.

It was a real pleasure to play with a "veteran" player of TOH, as they say, welcome to our little get-together :). We played all random, I spawned in the Dungeon, but quickly broke through to the surface and Xsi advanced Wizard, and then immediately gave me Earth, Slow was available. Xsi and Isra teamed up to churn out skeletons, I took the external dwelling of Air and got secondary-Conflux on day 121. End of the week: ghosts and zombies in the fort :). On day 121, Xsi refilled mana and heads towards another secondary through a crowd of peasants; meanwhile, Pixies were taken to be "castrated" and upgraded into Sprites. On day 124, I break a hundred peasants, take the Shield +5 behind the Cerberi, hit 20+ Grand Elves and see a blue flag :eek:. Turns out I had come to the enemy's respawn and almost reached his Castle :eek:. The Necro rushed Rampart on the second week :) :eek:. In short, 220+ skeletons, 21 Storm elementals with Mass Slow killed 20 Grand Elves, 5 Unicorns, and single peasants.
Thanks for the game.

Well, everything was very fast and swift. You came to me at just the right time; I didn't even have time to return to the Castle to buy out all my troops. And besides, you can't kill that many skeletons anyway... maybe I could have tried to hole up behind the turrets in the Castle, but for that I would have needed at least one more turn. I need to remember my skills and gain experience on random; I always played on fixids )

Thanks for the game, it was nice to play against a strong opponent who is also a fellow countryman :)

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def StickyFingaz (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.3.

In the first week, a specialist in Harpies appeared with 1 stack of Harpies, and ultimately gained 91 Trogols, taking +4 to defense. On his native rampart, both mines are located far away and blocked, so he didn't take them; there are no Nymphs or any money-generating buildings. He took a secondary Inferno, where he revealed 2 Confluxes. He has Home-Manticores in the Stronghold.

In the second week, the secondary is Inferno.

In the third week, 3 Naked Banks are on the secondary spawns.

In the fourth week, Slava appears on my secondary, I take Confluxes (3+2) and sit down to gain mana. On 1.4.3, the opponent receives reinforcements, but I decide to attack. On my side: 5 Angel Guards, 3 Death Knights, 13 Manticores, 5 Minotaurs, 40+ Eyes, 220+ Trogols, 2 Harpies. On the opponent's side: 7 Angels, 19 Champions, 10 Crossbowmen, 40+ Golden Bow Archers. I only have Curse as mass magic. Luck smiled upon me, and I won.

Thanks to my fellow countryman for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def StickyFingaz (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.3. Yeah, losing with such a setup was harder than winning... Around the castle, there are hiding spots for horses, swordsmen, and archers; I didn't take the spearman hiding spot further away. 40 simple elves are blocking the horses – I postponed taking them until week 2. The horses are in the citadel. In week 2, I'm stuck at my base, pushing towards the swamp, and the army is retreating. I decided not to risk it and postponed taking 4 horses until week 3 because I didn't have enough money for the entire army. Result: castle, everything except angels, 1000. In week 3, I take the horses, but only 7 angels were available =( I go to the lava. I see Pasha's Inferno, and I buy an army. The opponent attacks – against the parameters and army, the slow spell didn't help.

SEM_56 (blue, Stronghold, same, same) def Hermit (red, Inferno, Marius, Marius) 2sm4d(3) 321!!!
The start was normal; plenty of gold allowed me to place bears in the castle on 117...
Everything went according to plan after that, although I only took the secondary town on 134. There was only one road and it led to ГО, so I went around. Found 3 cons, +6 angels. In the treasure zone, I took 3 Dragon Utopia on 217. Took 6 hives, but all mini. On 225 a hero appeared with 30 sultan efreits; killed him losing 7 thunder birds. On 321 a "papa" popped up, whom I killed without losses using shackles and all possible magic (and he had troops from level 1 to 4, more than 100); the opponent surrendered, Thanks for the game...

Slav4eG (red Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Hermit (blue Castle, Kaitlin, Orin) 2sm4d(3) 214

No one has restarts left; I'm using scouts for reconnaissance. I see 4 crypts, level 112 elves, and I'm taking all the crypts one after another. Secondary building: a tower, earning money for level 117 knights in the castle. In the second week, I defend resources and gold, and at level 127, I build dragons with a castle. Then I move to the dungeon, capture a town with 3 angels and a +6 sword. Next, I visit 2 libraries, capture a +5 shield, and take the Earth book behind the Royal Cyclops stronghold. Secondary building: a dungeon, where I build a vortex, and at level 211, I break through with a horde of manticores. Ivor, 22, 18, 10, 200 mana, captures the enemy's capital, and the next day, kills Orin.
I spent another week finishing off the scouts; the result is Queen of Nagas rank (352).

Thanks to Vladimir for the game!

Hardcore (blue, Conflux, Gelare, Vistan) def Paladin (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 1-3-2 2sm4d(3)
Autumn Cup of the Portal.
We took all restarts + a couple due to encounter and crooked generation, then started.
111 - From the start: 60 butterflies and 9 air elementals, which were also built, central respawn, 4 fast roads, right next to the castle an external dwelling of Phoenixes behind a horde of Minotaurs and crypts, I take the crypt for 5 souls and claim the only chest on the respawn, the army is passed to Vistan, appointed as the main hero due to the lack of other fighters, who runs along the top road, 3 other GO block gr. Gargoyles and exit to the dirt road behind mages, he breaks through 70 gr. Gremlins at the cost of 1 air elemental.
112 - The external market is revealed, 60 boars are broken through for access to barbarian secondary skill, there on the road a block of a horde of flies, I didn't dare to fight with the remaining forces, I broke through 99 Goblins for a chest and a pile of gold, the native respawn, as is typical for a central one, is completely poor with a couple of gold piles for the entire respawn.
113 - I realized I ended up in a completely blocked and poor situation, I decide to trade resources, luckily the external market is very helpful, and to buy Water and Earth elementals to break through the mages with my mages ;), the only consolation is that Paladin's situation isn't sweet either.
114 - The army is passed to the mages who, with Magic Arrow and purchased Water and Earth elementals and the remaining air elementals, go on a campaign against the mages for the exit to the dirt road, immediately at the entrance lies a pile of gold, we will survive.
115 - I claim the only pile of wood behind a horde of Gnolls at the cost of 1 earth elemental, which turned out to be 10, I already have the resources for birds, a plan to build birds is already forming in my mind, if the secondary turns out to be rich and I can find gold.
116 - I break through a block of a horde of gr. Imps for the Arena and take the secondary Dungeon, the scout heroes scatter in different directions and frantically search for gold nuggets.
117 - I found a decent amount of gold and, after trading for resources, finally built birds at the Citadel. Well, we invested in the maximum plan, the external dwelling of birds near the native one and the Dungeon with a portal are pleasing to the eye, I can already think about how to win, I plan to get money, take what is lying around poorly, clear the external dwelling of Phoenixes, and at the end of the week go to the opponent's capital, I finished the week with 5 heroes, Vistan level 3, only the mages fought (
121 - After trading for more resources, I buy a new hero and 2 birds, which I pass to Vistan, to break through 3 crypts on the dirt road and scout the Griffin Conservatory.
122 - Birds to the scout heroes, who clear a horde of Golems for 2 chests, and a crypt for 5 Vampires, the birds back to Vistan who breaks through a pre-max crypt and enters a nearby Griffin Conservatory – minimal, just right for me, in the main town I slowly start upgrading units.
123 - Delivery of the remaining birds, I take the Griffin Conservatory, a nearby scout reveals a Pandora's Box behind a horde of Crusaders, I get the much-needed 10k gold, I stay the night at +1 Attack and nearby I also reveal Boots of Speed!
124 - I take the Boots and split the army in the main town, the army is passed to Conflux near which a scout is waiting and clears an unclaimed first crypt for a horde of Orcs and a chest and resources for a horde of Ice Elementals, Vistan ramps up before the Pandora's Box behind a crowd of gr. Ogres.
125 - I take the Pandora's Box for 10k experience, Vistan becomes level 12, with Tactics, Earth Magic, and Logistics, I buy shooters and break through 40 Minotaurs for an external dwelling of birds, I ramp up on Phoenixes in the castle, then out of the underground tunnel onto the dirt road comes Valka (Valeska) with all her might, she takes the Dwarf cottage and stands at the entrance to my treasure zone, well I think she came herself ;)
126 - I act a bit stupidly by upgrading Fire Magic but not buying it, I spent all the money on other troops and didn't have enough for one bird in the Dungeon portal, I split the army in the Dungeon and with expert Logistics and Boots, ramped up on Phoenixes, I cover a distance enviable even to Kyrre and attack Valka, my stats are slightly higher, 4+4 birds predetermined the outcome of the battle, Paladin buys back with 2 Cavaliers and 30 Pikemen, killing several Storm Elementals and 1 bird from me, well, drunk with the taste of victory and completely forgetting about safety, I stay the night with Vistan at +1 Attack and end my turn, and then at full speed Gosh on a gr. Griffin besieges the Dungeon where 1 miserable Lizardman sits, I fool didn't even bother to place a couple of Troglodytes there, he takes the Dungeon, buys back Valka there and my unransomed bird ((, he defeats all my scout heroes located near the castle and with Valka runs along the road to the main town with expert Logistics, then I start getting distracted by family, Vistan naturally doesn't reach Valka but could have passed the army to a scout whom Valka wouldn't have reached and with him finish off Paladin, but instead I reclaim the Dungeon by killing all the scout heroes scurrying out of the underground like cockroaches, and after moving around a bit wrong with the scout with 100 spell power and 40 mana, I am 1 hex short of sitting him in defense!!!, I curse everything I can for giving such a chance to Paladin, I sit a zero-level scout with 4 shooters of 30 each and buy 12 Energy Elementals which I previously didn't have enough money for and sit in a deep defense, Paladin seeing the Citadel naturally attacks and besieges my scout, losing everything except 2 Cavaliers, I curse myself once again for such stupid mistakes, Vistan naturally doesn't reach Conflux, I have to watch with bloody eyes as Paladin buys back newly spawned Phoenixes from the castle and the external dwelling and runs off into unknown lands downwards, I reclaim my castle, place a scout there to prevent deserters, and with Vistan I run to catch up with the unfaithful Valka, at this point we created a save, after we decided to finish, neither of us found the saves (((, the last save was mine at 121, which killed Paladin's last chances, we decided not to load it, Paladin said that he didn't have much hope anyway, and kindly gave me the victory, it's a real pity we couldn't enjoy a full victory or defeat (.
Thanks for the game.
