bRitvo4kA (red, Castle, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Kluka (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2SM4d(3), 123

Thank you for the game!

You chose all the resource nodes /* this is how more than 80% of my games start :) */

THREE mines in 1 day from the Castle (one is guarded by a horde of snipers). Total 37 on the start.
I passed the army to a scout who ran to look for a secondary resource node along a good road. The road was very long, and there were many monsters on it. I lost half of them in a battle with snakes and finally lost when, in a ranged battle, the storm elemental's arrows ran out, and 1 surviving elemental finished off 5 archers :(
The secondary resource node was needed to hire a couple of gremlins there and collect money in the snow.
In the second week, I equipped a Second Expedition with 1 horse and 8 archers. When the second expedition failed, running into another crowd of raiders, I decided not to continue.

bRitvo4kA (blue, Castle, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Kluka (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2SM4d(3), 134

Thank you for the game!

117. Unicorns in the Castle + 1000. 2 elf lairs and one grove.
122-123. Two dwarven mines, with 10 and 20 dwarves each.
124-125. I rush to the secondary base (barbarian) and see my opponent there.
/* This is the first time this has happened - usually, everyone paints their secondary bases and doesn't interfere with the other, as if secret protocols have been signed... */
126-131. The secondary base changes hands twice and remains with the opponent.
136. Finances are at zero, and there are no hopes. I decide not to continue the game.

Javdet (red, Tower, Ain, Tazar&Jelar) def Felix (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d, 141

Moved to the swamp external dwelling and took the opponent's capital from there...
Thanks for the game

P.S.. 3 external dwellings of trogs and 2 Griffin Conservatories 1 and 2, all within 1 day's travel from the town - haven't seen such a start down there as Shakti in a long time

Thank you for playing.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valiska, Valiska) def StickyFingaz (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.7. In the first week, he got a secondary Conflux, Horses in the Castle, and 60 Pikemen in the Dungeon. In the second week, he got a secondary Dungeon and Rampart, and Angels in the Castle. The opponent is going for a secondary, so I buy the entire army and withstand the siege. Thanks to Slava for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valiska, Valiska) def StickyFingaz (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.7. yeah

Javdet (red, Tower, Ain, Tazar&Jelar) def Felix (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d, 141

Thanks for the game!

Kluka (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def cyb (blue, Rampart, Kirry, Kirry)

Played with an additional rule: mass slow against neutrals is prohibited[\b].
Started without restarts.

111. 3 stacks + archers built + archer external dwelling, total 41 at start.
112. Art +4 to attack (-2 marksmen)
113. I pass the army to a scout to break through the guards to the neighboring respawn; he sees that the road is further blocked by a horde of earth elementals and, remembering the morning game, turns back
114. I see that my sawmill has no wood.
115. I break through the guards into the underground and send a scout there
117. Monks in the Castle
122. Marksmen are passed to a scout in the Dungeon; Inferno secondary site
123. Long-awaited forest underground (peat?!)
127. Cavaliers + 2000 and 1000 at the secondary site; Knight external dwelling; got logistics
132. Helmet +3, min. dwarf settlement. In the underground treasury I see two Dragon Utopia, but you don't go in there with 96 marksmen :) Clearing my respawn.
134. Fighting a horde of grand elves on my home respawn for Pandora's box. Lose 18 marksmen and get 45 halberdiers. Build Capitol.
137. Built angels.
142. Captured the swamp secondary site
144. Conserve - minimal and speed boots (-9 crusaders).
146. Conserve - two-stack and visiting the arena. Everything is nearby, but you can't run through a swamp.
147. Coming out of the swamp. Fearing the plague month, I hire everything my money allows.
And right then blue breaks through ГО and runs to me with 8 gold dragons and 2 angels.
All that was left for me was to hire an army and destroy the invader.

In terms of skills, the opponent slightly surpassed me (15-14-3-7 vs 14-9-4-6), neither of us really had magic. In general, it was a strange battle.
If I could have looked at the save without viewing it - I would have suggested playing it out.

141 - with a scout hero I reach the main castle where Crag Hack with 1 pikeman is sitting.. since I saw that I had returned home with the main hero... Kyrre makes a U-turn, gallops through the stable and just manages to reach the scout hero.. transfers troops to him and he takes the main castle.. I buy a hero there, he returns the troops to Kyrre.. and in the main castle I buy up blue's growth... and we wait
Opponent surrenders...

Thank you for the game

Aldegir (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Hermit (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), 1.4.1.

Confirmed. One turn was enough. Thanks for the game. I'm leveling up slowly, and the secondaries are very far away, and there are ranged guards standing there. I actually lost to the boars because Valkyrie only had 11 Archers left after having to break through the elves, but it wasn't too upsetting. At least I got to the capital quickly. But Valkyrie was significantly weaker than Kirr in terms of stats...

Oelm (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Hermit (blue, Rampart, Kirra, Kirra) 2sm4d(3), 2.1.5. Started without rests, on turn 1-1-2 I scouted a consul and a throneroom. Opened up the map and saw an external dwelling level 6, 7 at the opponent's respawn point. Captured a secondary Inferno castle, revealed 2 hives. On day 117, there are units of levels 1-7 except for a level 5 unit in the citadel. On the second day, I defended against money attacks and attacked with 2 hydras against a marksman on grass; lost a hydra, it was 48:smile51:. The opponent kindly offered an auto-trade, I accepted, the secondary rampart castle was captured, and Tazar with two hydras loses one on the highest tier! Either I wasn't fighting correctly, or I should have taken single-unit stacks. Tazar leveled up well, took logistics, earth magic, tactics, and boots closer to the end of the week, then got a level 3 consul! Plan: give angels to the cherubs so they defend resources, take wisdom as the hero skill on day 12, level up, and look for Pandora boxes on day 3. Went into the treasure zone, it's a rare place - all labyrinths, artifacts everywhere, but no Pandora boxes.

On the third day, built two towers of level 4 and 3, found resurrection and meteor shower spells. Ahead of the opponent in magical skills, roughly equal in combat skills. And here comes an important moment: I get a Pandora box, but it only contains air elementals, and wisdom is only advanced:smile39:. If it had been expert, the game would have gone more dynamically. Released Mullich from prison:D, gave him gloves and an angel amulet, lost a hydra and an angel along the way. There was some real bad luck with the seventh level. Meanwhile, scouts found a treasure zone on stones, where they revealed a sphere of earth. And underground, I saw a glimpse of Dragon Utopia, which should be accessible from another entrance. So, I decide to go there hoping for artifacts, buy troops with the money, and attack the opponent. But the Dragon Utopia turned out to be blocked by stones, there isn't enough money to buy my way through, so I have to wait.

On turn 2-1-1, visited the stable, and became Tazar to rush in my own castle because I fear Kirra will come as a guest. The day passes, no one shows up, and Klansy attacks with three green dragons against my scout who was going through the teleport, and immediately puts himself in range of Tazar. On 2-1-2, I visit, kill Klans, and stand one tile away from the castle; Kirra is nowhere to be seen. Took the castle, and on the next turn, Kirra put herself in range of Tazar's attack with gloves, boots, and logistics. No battle ensued.

Tazar, level 20, 30% defense, 11-18-11-15(150) expert attack, defense, tactics, earth magic, logistics, water magic, wisdom.
Meteor shower at 562.
4 angels, 5 hydras, 38 cherubs, 21 cows, 25 basilisks, 76 lizards, 84 gnolls, all upgraded except for hydras and angels.

Kirra, level 18, 7-25-6-3 combat skills: archery, tactics, + earth magic expertise and advanced air magic

2 dragons, 29 unicorns, 31 dryads, 44 seraphs, 80 gnomes, 52 grand griffins.

The meteor shower left 19 elves, the opponent surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

P.S. Evil Romantic, will you finally confirm your loss from 3 days ago? You promised
