Kreg Xek (Red, Stronghold, Kreg Hek, Kreg Hek) def Ahivog (Blue, Necropolis, Tant, Tant) 137, 2smd4(3)
The opponent merged and decided not to continue.
Thank you for the game.

Kreg Xek (Red, Stronghold, Kreg Hek, Kreg Hek) def Ahivog (Blue, Necropolis, Tant, Tant) 137, 2smd4(3) Confirmed. I didn't expect that they would reduce the number of Vampire Lords in this castle... the map was pretty good... I rushed a bit... I tried to take an easy win... and I was punished for it!

Kebazavr (Red, Castle, Valeska, Deesa) def Babek (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 126

We took all the rests. Spawned closer to the corner of the map. 112 - found Deesa with the 7th hero. Immediately into moms or dads) 113. scouted the 2nd Griffin Conservatory. There are two passages to the secondary towns, but they are guarded by shooters, so on the first week I clear crypts on my side and use cheshkas to take chests and trinkets. 114 opponent colors Necropolis. At home, horses in the Citadel. 121+ 2 angels. Passage to the Barbarian secondary town is broken through and the cuirass +5 to spell is taken with a horde of ghost souls. 122 I don't reach Kyrre in Necro. Building Mage Guild on two floors, have bolt and 70 mana for 230 damage. 126 Kyrre is defeated in his own capital. Thank you.

start with 110 gr. skeletons immediately go for 18 gr. horned ones, due to 2 manticores we lose 15 bones, then I clear the dragon growth and the dragons take down a bit more than 10 bones
112 with the help of 1 dragon +85 bones we kill the beholders, get the boots, and they even spawned on the upper level, what more could you need )))
116 with the help of 200 gr. bones I earn +2 angels
117 human secondary, naked
121 we enter the treasury, finally an artifact for skills +5 def )))
122 emboldened by victories over small groups of troops, I foolishly attack 50+ gr. manticores (guarding a tree + artifact +3 attack) the bastards did horrible things))) each turn paralysis, sometimes even two, no earth magic, haste didn't help, only thing left was to heal and heal... a whole 150 bones, 1 dragon, and 2 angels fell, I got +3 attack and 4 wyverns ))) and I thought, what to go visit the red army with now???
123 +8 wyverns +7 gr. liches from the dwelling.
124 I cracked open the Dragon Utopia but didn't dare take it, it was maxed out ))), had to go visit the reds
and rightly so, there were small stacks of 4 angels 2+3+3+3, I could have waited until 131 and eaten everything in 1-2 days ))), but we sheep rolled in and provoked the red army into recklessness, immediately the reds ate +2 angels, and when they saw that I had already eaten their griffin meat for 3 angels, they charged at 3 angels and died heroically, thanks for the game

Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Дубровин Павел (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.7

Conservatories in the castle and in the dungeon secondary, eyes + externals of eyes and harpies. I see an art for +15 for necro behind gr golems and buy it with 8th hero [Charna], but never needed it. Conservatories min and max and along the long road from the underground the Miner rides out. Had time to run on 2 fronts, sort out cash and set up in the castle. Pasha ran under the castle and surrendered.
Thanks for the game

Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.7

Thanks for the game.

I confirm!

Unfortunately, all three times I spawned underground.
The last time, I was blocked by 10-19 Ifrits, which blocked the only road, guarding the Hive :smile35:. 2 Chests gave 1,000 each, I bought only 1 Hero. I went to look for an exit through the wilderness, defeated 48 Orcs with a Group Stack, a Gnomish Stack of 15 Gnomes, 40+ Golems, and by 1.2.2, I took my secondary town. I reached Roman's respawn, approached the Main one, seeing 5-9 Angels in the Army, and decided not to continue with the rest...

Thanks for the game!

I suggest adding a small amendment to the Rules: it should not be allowed to enter and take Confluxes and Hives, who's in favor?

Paladin@heroes.by (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def scorp (red, Stronghold, Gunnison, Gundula) 2sm4d(3), 127
thanks for the game

I confirm.

Well... yeah, I volunteered as a shooter on Galthran, but I didn't even have enough strength from respawn to leave. 117 home 1-5 in the Citadel + external dwelling of wolves, in the elven secondary elves and dendroids in the fort. 124 Gosha comes out and doesn't reach the scouts with the army (I thought he had left, saw him 2 turns before that). 125 I take the second external dwelling of dendroids and take everything out of the castle and eat the Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels, 3 out of 5 birds remain, 14 Grand Elves, 9 out of 12 dendroids, 13 out of 24 dwarves, 1 out of 20+ dogs. 126 I wanted to take the Griffin Conservatory and buy myself out – didn't take it, not enough meat, and from the strike force only 2 angels and 9 wood.

Thanks for the game.

Slav4eG (Blue Dungeon Shakti Shakti) def Smoke_mk (Red Rampart Kyr' Kyr') 2sm4d(3) 223

Spawned at the top from the start with 114 troglodytes and 5 heroes, good respawn
113 gnome hut with 100 dwarves
115 secondary Rampart, all blocked
117 can't find ore anywhere, barely managed to build 1-6 without the 5 in the Fort
121 found ore and cleared resources
122-127 just wandered around the respawn, leveled up and cleared resources, result: 1-6 in the castle +2000
131 finally starting to take Griffin Conservatories +1 +2 +2 angels
132 entered a treasure zone in the underground through a portal
134 took 2 Pandora's Boxes and 3 Libraries
135 captured the Golden Bow, Shakti Expert Archery and Ballista
136 took the Helm +6 all with 120+ basilisks
137 recalled home, dragons already waiting
141 took a Naga Bank with 4 Nagas each
142 hit GO 20-49 giants, turned out to be 48, and without an upgraded stack at that
143 took the opponent's capital and then the real race began
Kiryusha the Logistics hero was running around with wings somewhere in the snow taking Dragon Utopias one after another.
But Smoke lost almost his entire army in a max-level Dragon Utopia.
After 8 heroes transferred the army, recalled with the Miner into the secondary and took the Dragon Utopia myself.
Gave a Red Orb and all the surface, everything became clear then...

Many thanks to the opponent for the game!

Slav4eG (blue Dungeon Shaktii Shaktii) def Smoke_mk (red Rampart Kiry Kiry) 2sm4d(3) 223
There was a chain of lightning dealing 750 damage + full control.
If not for the red orb...

Mizrael(Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def Kreg Xek(red, Tower, Solmir, Solmir) 2sm4d(3) 213

The opponent's strange build surprised me; to top it off, he went for money in the first week... Gosha, meanwhile, wasn same not idling and calmly built up his bone stacks - since there was absolutely no rush, he only took the Dragon Utopia on the 4th week, where there is a level 5 hat. With the utopian money, everything is bought: upgrading bones and Dimension Door for visits. Thanks to the bubble +2 life, Solmir couldn't possibly lash 800+ skeletons with a flail even if he wanted to (excluding angels, dragons, and Knight). The mage was killed in his own capital. Thanks for the game.

It happened; Castle is very expensive and develops slowly. The hope was for a long game (secondary Castle + 4 external angel dwellings and 4 external champion dwellings would have brought the heat), but the opponent gave no quarter.
Thanks for the game.

Hardcore (red, Swamp, Tazar) def StickyFingaz (blue, Castle, Valeska) 1-3-2 2sm4d(3)
Autumn Cup of the Portal.

Took rest 111, started.
111 - From the start only Gnolls, Lizardmen not built, I break through a block of Gremlins down towards the Dwarf Cottage(75), then a block of a horde of Zombies, I ran up to the fork leading to GO and to the secondary town, spent the night there after visiting the +1000 stone, the exterior of the Lizardmen is painted, 2 Dwarf Cottages (75 and 100) and a Pandora's Box near the castle are revealed.
112 - The scout runs along the fork and runs into Magoi in the underground, no Wyverns, I buy Lizardmen and break through the Zombies down, Tazik positions himself in front of the triple guard on the grass.
113 - Not enough wood for Wyverns, but enough resources for Behemoths, I buy them, break through 30 Water Elementals and a horde of Stone Gargoyles to get to the grass zone, was given Ranged and Tactics.
114 - The secondary town is taken, a town portal book is bought, I ran around +1+1 Attack.
115 - The army is transferred to Kyrre who runs down to find a sawmill.
116 - Kyrre takes the sawmill with as many as 3 much-needed wood piles and a +500 gold purse behind Gargoyles.
117 - Army to Tazik who visits +2 Attack and defeats a couple of treasure chests and the exterior of Faerie Dragons behind Goggies, was given Earth Magic, we stood 1-6 in the castle without Basilisk dwelling for a pretty penny, a Griffin Conservatory, a Dragon Utopia, and a Dragon Fly Hive are revealed along the road to the respawn.
121 - With Tazik I break through to the main castle and boost with a Horde of Flies in front of the Dwarf Cottage, the scouts on the grass capture another couple of treasure chests and a Ring +1+1 Attack/Defense.
122 - I return the army and the ring and take the Dwarf Cottage 75, behind it a Pandora's Box with 60 Lizardmen behind a horde of Griffins!
123 - Mine Crypt, Dwarf Cottage 100, I buy everyone except Flies and enter a Conservatory 3-rd tier, Tazik 8-10 Expert Ranged, I exchanged 3 Behemoths, 40 Goblins from the left hero and all Gnolls for 3 Angels.
124 - Mine Naga Bank, the scout pre-max Crypt and Tazik max Dragon Fly Hive without losses.
125 - I enter the underground, the scout takes max Imp Dwelling and reveals a Conservatory beyond the abyss from above, Tazik runs there, and with Kyrre I take the dungeon secondary town.
126 - +2 Attack, next to the Dragon Utopia Conservatory, I enter the Conservatory - maximum, I take it losing Troglodytes and all Flies, at level 14 I finally got Logistics, and I enter the Dragon Utopia, minimum, with 18 Wyverns, 7 Angels, 6 Behemoths, and singles, gave away 4 Behemoths, got Helm +10, Shield +5, and Ring of Speed.
127 - I want to break through to the Dungeon to double mana and take the second Dragon Utopia at the respawn, but instead of a Tavern I built a Market, had to break through to the Swamp and stop a couple of tiles from the Dragon Utopia, I send Crellion to the treasure zone outside next to the Conservatory to get something interesting at the entrance, revealed a Dragon Fly Hive behind Ghosts and a Sword +5 All behind a hundred Vampires! At home, Hydras, in the secondary town I built the mage guild up to level 5, but nothing worthwhile was given.
131 - Crellion takes the little sword behind 120 Vampires + a Horde at the cost of 1 Behemoth and 3 Wyverns, not enough chain for the Dragon Fly Hive, I transfer the army and the sword to Tazik, bring Ducks and Behemoths from the main town and take the Dragon Utopia 3-rd tier, gave away all Gnolls, a couple of Wyverns, and 3 Behemoths, got Water and Fire books, Necklace +3 All and Golden Bow, Tazik's stats: level 16, 20-25-8-21, 130 Horde Lizardmen, 20 Ducks, 7 Angels, and meat, I decide not to delay but to fight GO and visit Valka, on 132 I kill 80 Efreet Sultans and burst into the castle, followed by surrender.
1-0
Thanks for the game!

Hardcore (red,Swamp,Tazar) def StickyFingaz (blue,Castle,Valeska) 1-3-2 2sm4d(3)
Yikes...
on the first - native secondary, 1-4+6 in the citadel in home. I didn't build up the secondary due to lack of money. 2 griffin external dwellings.
angel external dwelling, 2 naga banks (one max) taken by 122. Then I went into the treasure zone. There was nothing good there. The opponent got more from griffin and duck spots, plus 2 Dragon Utopias - that's why I lost.
Thanks for the game.

SEM_56 (red, Castle, Valerka, Valerka) def Oelm (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 125
Valerka arrived with 3 stacks, let's play. The lands are small, there's not much gold, and not much wood either. I spotted two Goblin Camps, but they are all maxed out. I reveal the map and see the opponent's Castle, as well as a path to my secondary town, but it's guarded by a horde of Archers...
On day 116, I attack a level 32 Gnome and take the Barbarian secondary town, then head towards the Gnome town...
On day 123, the opponent appears near the Barbarians. As it turns out, there was a portal in the corner. He attacks my 2 Scouts and is about to leave, but I position Kirra with the Barbarian army to intercept him. The opponent kills Kirra and approaches the Citadel, where Valerka is already stationed. He saw how many Archers (56) there were and decided not to attack. On the next turn, Valerka receives 10 Crusaders and attacks...
Tazar has 7 defense, 2 Hydras, 2 Vipers, 23 Lizards, 28 Gnolls, and 4 Dragonflies...
Valerka has 6 attack and defense, 56 Archers, 40 Spearmen, 10 Crusaders, and +10+1+1 Kent...
The opponent made a couple of mistakes, and paid the price. The Archers immediately shot down the Hydras, the Crusaders killed the Vipers, the opponent surrendered and decided not to continue. Thanks for the game!!!

scorp (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Kebazavr (red, Tower, Rissa, Grindan) 2sm4d(3), 215

The starting hero in the tavern was Bron with 5 basilisks. 2 external dwellings of dragonflies are visible, but I still wanted to take them after the bows; at 115 scouts spotted an external dwelling of wyverns, at 116 during army transfer a conservatory for 2 angels was scouted, and at 117 the wyvern external dwelling was taken. At home: 1-6 in Castle + wyvern external dwelling and 1000. At 122 Tazik took 2 angels while losing 3 wyverns. At 124 Turaxor (because of tactics) killed 10-19 upgraded liches, while Tazik passed through and took another angel and nag banks of 3 each. At 127 I enter the metro; there are nag banks of 2 and an Inferno secondary dwelling. At home: Capitol; completely ignored hydras. At 131 I stand before the entrance to the treasure zone (expert logistics). 132-136 treasure zone cleared: 3 hives, 2 pandoras (15k exp and all water spells up to level 4, lacked wisdom), Black Market bought speed boots and gloves (22500$), didn't take the Dragon Utopia behind the keymaster, and already haste-buffed, I replenish mana. At 137 in the neighboring treasure zone where I saw a Dragon Utopia. At 141 scouts can't keep up with Tazik and I don't want to be left with full moves: I hit 114 djinns with an upgraded stack of 3 angels with parameters 6 12 5 5 (40+ mana) and come out with only 1 angel (for 15k gold). At 143 a pandora with all air spells, but zero mana for now. At 145 first Dragon Utopia on 3CD: water book, hat +10/-2 knowledge/spell, necklaces: +3 all and +3/+3 knowledge/spell. At 146 second Dragon Utopia 1 CD: black ball, shield +3/+3 attack/defense, ribs +2 spell, dragon ring +1/+1 attack/defense; crashed into a secondary dwelling, replenished mana in the ring, and head toward the old Dragon Utopia under the keymaster, met a tent in the treasure zone. At 147 recovered army and took the earth sphere. At 211 Dragon Utopia on 1 CD: titan breastplate and ring of speed. At 213 I study anti-magic at home (wasn't needed), upgrade 66 wyverns, and haste myself. At 214 I stand before the Dragon Utopia where there are many little red flags, and at 215 I am attacked:

Tazar 13 19 18 17 (150 mana, expert tactics): 1 angel, 66 upgraded wyverns, 17 bulls in tomato, 77 upgraded lizards, 13 upgraded dragonflies, 20 snipers, and 25 dogs (Inferno) +3 speed

Grindan 26 17 27 24 (950 mana, light bolt for 1000): 3 angels, 20 wyverns, 5 titans, 16 nags, 14 master djinns, 26 mages, and 430 blues, golden bow and cloak of denial, air sphere

Tazik buys out with 23 wyverns, 77 and 20 archers, and 11 bulls; Grindan is left with: 1 angel, 4 wyverns, 15 mages, and 270 blues - And after the buyout (battle), the opponent's game crashes. I suggested dismissing the armies that were lost on both sides, then he attacks again and the battle is essentially repeated up to that point exactly (20-40 mana didn't matter); I buy out (I don't see any violation on my part, will comment if there are questions) and Grindan hastes on the angel. At 125 I buy out, fly in, and kill him with lightning; upgraded wyverns have 14 speed.

Thanks for the game.
