Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Kluka (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 2.2.1.

On the first week - only same-name units in the Castle, one of which I lost while pushing to the Grass, and there was also a block that could no longer be broken (10-19 Gr. Hellspawn).

On the second week - native secondary dwelling, external dwelling of own-name units.

On the third week - 3 Hives (4+8+6). Didn't find the Dragon Utopia in the treasury.

On the fourth week - found Sandals of Saints, Helmet +5 to Mana, Gold Mine; unfortunately, for 14 Green Dragons I was given Magic Level 5, but I could only take up to 4, so I took the Book of Fire, crashed into the Main town, fighting ГО (70 Black Knights with a Gr. Stack and 6-7 Rusties). The Rusties took out 18 own-name units since I charged them with 46 own-name units and 10 Snakes. Took the opponent's almost empty Castle.

On the fifth week - scouted the Dragon Utopia, meanwhile Pasha took back his Main town. In the Dragon Utopia I got a real fairy tale (+10 to everything). Storming the Main again, victory.

Thanks to my namesake for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Three troglodyte nests under the castle – that’s powerful :)

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def idkfa (Blue, Conflux, Ciel, Mephala), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.3.

In the first week, I focused on secondary Necropolis units; there were 2 Cons, one 2-4, and a Minimal unit. I took the Minimal unit and the secondary Necropolis units. At home, I placed the Eye in the Castle.

In the second week, I took a Conflux-Dwelling, exited, went through the Necropolis respawn point to the opponent's respawn point, attacked Ciel, and then Mephala in the main stronghold with a Citadel.

Thank you for the game!

LeBron (red, Castle, Valya, Gosha) def Goodwin (blue, Stronghold, Crag) 132, 2sm4d(3)
We took a rest and went. From the start, 29 upgraded archers built — I'm thinking fat — then also a nook — complete beauty — with Gosha as the 4th hero :cool: well, I think I'll probably have to win :D on the first week I took about 4 crypts and an imp dwelling for 30 — only 77 skeletons total — but Gosha with Air Magic at level 7 and Valya not far behind — while Gosha was clearing his native respawn she was already running rampant on the Necro secondary — result: first week, Conflux in the Castle. On the second week, Gosha with skeletons clears the Necro secondary — a scout hero spots 2 Griffin Conservatories and Armor +1 all there — meanwhile Valya, having ported back home, Valya takes 2 Dragon Fly Hives (12), max Dwarf Cottage, and Boots. On day 124, via a very long chain, Valya passes the acquired loot to Gosha, and he takes 2 Griffin Conservatories (2+3). Result of the second week — 250+ skeletons, 5 Angels, 12 Unicorns, 10 Pegasi, and 65 Archers. On day 131, I take Sword +2+2 and Conservatory 2 with 24 Cyclopes — and through a long-ago revealed passage to visit Crag — on day 132, I sit and smoke in his native Stronghold. Crag, out of spite, attacked a Dragon Utopia and got toasted by the dragons
Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Confirmed.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def idkfa (Blue, Castle, Loins, Loins), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.5. Alexey reminded me of a good acquaintance who initially liked Loins. I think that over time, Alexey will also switch to another starting hero. In the first week - United in the Castle, Nightshade, secondary Tower, several Dungeons, and a minimal Gnome. In the second week - Nightshade of the United, secondary Tower, minimal Naked Bank, a level 2 Gnome, broke through to the opponent through the Tower, and on 1.2.7, he sat in the Castle with the Castle. In the third week - finished him off. Thank you for the game!

Alex_R (blue Necropolis, Xy :smile32: ) def SuperMag (red Swamp of Thazar) 2sm4d3 1-4-1

It was my first time playing Necropolis in a random game, and I enjoyed it… the army is just a bit weak…
We restarted, and things started to go well…
In the first week, 1-6 (without 3) in the castle + 4 skeleton stacks and 1 zombie stack.
There were also Necro heroes Namibius and Nagash (from the second week) - but Xy was already so leveled up that I decided to keep her strong (stone skin is great)… Galtran appeared in the 3rd week, but I didn't buy him - Xy was already over level 15 with Earth skills, etc.
I took the Utopia and went to the opponent... the Utopia didn't give any stat bonuses except for a Golem's Skull with +4 attack, and I didn't need the money either, as I had 20-30k extra after buying all the troops…
I went through the Guild of Heroes and chose between 100+ Power Lich, 100+ Thunderbird, or 20-49 skeletons… I chose 123 Thunderbirds because they were closer to the road than the dragons…
I arrived at the opponent's with 800+ upgraded skeletons, 14 Dread Knights, 25 Vampires, 20 Liches, 4 Golems, 2 Angels, and 60 Zombies.
I took the capital on 1-3-7 with almost no fight, and then the final battle on 1-4-1 against the returning Thazar.
I had slightly better stats, but the opponent had a decent amount of meat: 10 Hydras, 14 Wyverns, 45 Basilisks, 20+ Gorgons, up to a hundred Golems and Lizards, and about 35 Efreet… I don't know what would have happened in a pure melee fight, but I had Implosion, Berserk, and other spells, as well as Earth and Fire experts, so I won!
Thanks for the game!

P.S. I'll provide more details later (when the forum is back up)

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valiska, Moner) def vitalic (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.1.7.

In the first week, the Archers weren't built. 2 near-maxed Necropolises, one near-min Necropolis. On turn 1.1.4, he took his native secondary town, on 1.1.6, the Rampart's secondary town, and returned to his main town. He scouted and found the Angel's Lair on the secondary town. Unicorns in the Castle. Vitalic appeared on the secondary town. His capitulation.

Thank you for the game!

Thank you for the game!

On turn 113, he entered via an off-road path to the grassy secondary town; the only road led to the main town – he decided not to take a rest. But the secondary town turned out to be already in the opponent's hands and was his native town; he decided not to continue.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def idkfa (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.3.

In the first week - secondary Necropolis, Unity in the Castle, and a bit of Pegh's Den.

In the second week - secondary Dungeon.

In the third week - Conflux with 3+4+3 Angel. I attack GO (100-249) Minotaurs. I made a slight mistake in direction. On 1.4.3, I kill Shakti in the Castle.

Thank you for the game!

Oelm (red, Necromancer, Galtran, Galtran) def SEM-56 (blue, Dungeon, Shakhti, Shakhti) 2sm4d(3) 143

For some reason, the opponent provided the red color, but Galtran was always born underground. Galtran has 2 stacks, but nearby there is a Dragon Utopia and an external dwelling of liches; I see ГО in the center, and I hope the opponent has the central respawn. There is a passage up behind a pack of grey pegasi and a teleport behind the vamps. Playing.

On the first day, my lack of experience as a Necromancer (playing them for about the seventh time) told; I couldn't resist and went to the scholar to get intelligence! This means necromancy won't be upgraded soon), only finished it on the 5th day. In general, there is no sulfur; at 1-1-7 I break through the vamps, then grey pegasi, and with the last move I reach the sulfur) liches in the Stronghold have stopped.

Then there was a break in the game, and while finishing it up, I was lagging terribly. By mistake, I attacked a troop of magogs with 2 angels; I made a wrong click with the mouse, and the uncovered magogs kill 2 angels. In general, after losing about 200 skeletons and 3 angels over two weeks at 142, I attack ГО: Galtran level 17(11-17-7-7/30) 70 skels, 3 angels, 35 witches, 10 gr dreads, 27 powerful liches, about 600 gr skels. Book of Fire Magic. Expert Necromancy, Intelligence, Armor, Air, Wisdom. Advanced Artillery, Fire. Seeing the stats and army, the opponent surrenders (Shakhti-stats around 6).

Thanks for the game!

Kluka (blue, Castle, Valeska, Cuthbert) def Evil Romantic (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2.1.6, unknown map, L+U

Thank you for the game!

111. Three stacks of archers + 1 stack with the second hero. On turn 111, I repel the horde of halberdiers and get Cuthbert, level 5, with experience, wisdom, and artifacts... + another stack. Total: 40 archers, destroying everything they can.
117. Horses in the Castle +1000 in the secondary resource and +1000 in the gold mine next to it.
127. I didn't have enough sulfur for angels, and in desperation, I rushed to the nagabank (30 naga) and dumped my entire army there, except for the archers. Well, I got angels in the castle.
In the third week, I started taking the maximum amount of resources - and, as usual, lost 2 angels there :(
On turn 147, I build archmages.
On turn 213, I break through the Guardian of Order from black knights. On the same day, I see Shakti heading to the castle to visit the newly built guild of mages, level 4, and I attack him.
Mass Slow, Mass Haste, 10 archmages, and experience resurrection led to the enemy's surrender.
