Oelm (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Invisible (blue, Dungeon, Shakhti, Shakhti) 2sm4d(3) 134.

We drove Shakhti into the underground and didn't let him even stick his nose outside: all the paths he broke through to the surface went into the swamp through impassable terrain. On the first week, Evil Eyes in the fort, a portal of summoning with 3 stacks of Troglodytes, mushrooms. Shakhti ran and ran through the underground, didn't find any hives or conservatories. He found an underground treasure zone, there he took a level 6 hive and planned a Dragon Utopia on day 134, but Tazar showed up with a ton of meat. He thought for a long time about where to split after the utopia: into the main hero or the secondary, and then go take another one in the swamp. But since it was already late, he didn't want to drag it out. In the utopia, I got a tome of fire and a shield +12, but only 2 knowledge :(, and a day earlier I hadn't built a Mage Guild, so I couldn't double my spells. Tazar had 4 angels, 1 Arch Devil :eek:, 27 Wyverns, 86 Wyvern Monarches (native secondary town), stats 5-8 without the tome, I had 11 Evil Eyes, 12 Medusas, 9 Minotaurs, 27 Harpy Hags over 200 Troglodytes, stats 14-18-3-2(20). 15 Wyvern Monarches survived on Tazar's side :D.
Thanks for the game.

A small off-topic comment. 2Hermit: in my opinion, it's impossible to play without upgrading the archers for the castle, even if you're not playing as Valesk. You lose too much tempo. Gogs have 1-4 damage, which is on average the same as an archer. And I practically never build dogs for Inferno on the first week (unless I'm defending). I prefer to upgrade imps. Besides, I didn't have gogs at the start, so I didn't try to attack the lizard horde with them.

The attack power of Inferno on the first week is 60% due to the Pyrrhic cannon. Difficulties arise on the second week, when the power of Inferno decreases compared to other castles. But here, conscripts can save the day, because on their native terrain, Inferno can even take the maximum without magic. And then you can already break the hives, which are often on their own terrain.

Please acknowledge this terrible match:

The report and confirmation were on December 20th on the auxiliary resource

bRitvo4kA (red, Tower, Nella, Dessa) def Кash (blue, Swamp, Bronhild, Bronhild), 2SM4d(3), 124
In the second week, I pick a secondary Conflux, and my opponent, in desperation, throws himself into a vulnerable position and perishes.
- heroes
Thank you for the game!

Thanks for the game!

I confirm. Indeed, he was running around in different directions. Let science move forward.
Thanks for the game, sorry for my...

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirry, Kirry) def OUTLAW (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Pirry), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.1.

Confirmed. For the second game in a row now, this centipede Kirry has overtaken me :mad: :mad: :mad: I had Logistics at expert myself; I started clearing a huge treasury on the sand back at the beginning of the 3rd week, but without Pathfinding, I still hadn't cleared half even by the end of the 4th. Then I broke through home to take the same-color Dragon Utopia, since I saw Kirry with all her might nearby ГО..... skills were being granted for a pure warrior; Earth Magic only appeared as the 7th slot.... After breaking through the phoenixes and the Dragon Utopia, Kirry lost almost all her elves and wasn't particularly scary in terms of one-on-one combat; parameters were nearly equal. But I rushed in without mana to break through many groups of necrodragons for a hive (which turned out to be mini :D ) and artifacts that aged the angels and crusaders, and then they methodically pecked at them until they pecked the angels to death and halved 40+ crusaders :smile35: .... after such mockery, there was no one left to hit the opponent's 50+ viv....
Thanks for the game, Pavel!!

LeBron (blue, Swamp, Wystan) def Loi (red, Castle, Valya) 131, 2sm4d(3)
Fought with Loi all day, Swamp vs Castle like in his tournament :)
First time I got native secondary and 2 Nagas, Rays far away in the swamp - picked up Boots - scout hero broke a horde of Harpies onto the grass. Second scout hero broke a horde of Wolves into native swamp - Wystan went where there was the most experience. Wanted 1-7 at home in Castle but didn't have enough Seraphs for Hydras.. well, I wasn't too upset.
On the second day I rushed a bit for money - naturally forgot the Book and went into the treasure zone - there, from 40 Nagas I got a Breastplate +10 and was already aiming at 2 Dragon Utopias when Valya came - brought money from home and crushed me :)

LeBron (blue, Swamp, Wystan, Crag Hack) def Loi (red, Castle, Valya) 131, 2sm4d(3)
On day 113 a loss to Silvers :) forgot we were playing without resets and attacked - and they turned out to be morale-junkies, the bastards. Well, nothing - reclaimed native secondary by the end of the week :smile49: put a Wyvern there - home 1-6 in Citadel - Crag Hack with Earth. A plan is brewing to break through ГО on day 127 and capture the enemy capital - fortunately roads are fast. Later took Rampart secondary, freed Deemer there, level 10 with expert Logistics, found some cash, then rushed home - took Slow to go with expert Earth - very roughly smashed a Griffin Conservatory 2 with a loss of 5 Rays and realized I wouldn't make it back in time and the ГО on day 127 is canceled. Intensively looking for money, buying up, assembling the ГО on day 131, realize there's probably nothing left in the Castle so I go to take objects - noticed a Dragon Fly Hive, and Valya was right next to it - so we finished her off :)
Thanks for the games!
P.S. in both games ГО fell easily in the second week. In the first case Rusty Dragons, in the second horde of Dark Riders - this is for those comrades who claim these are "isolated" cases :D

LeBron (blue, swamp, Wistan, Kreg) def Loi (red, castle, Valya) 131, 2cm4d(3)

That was it. He couldn't keep up with LeBron's pace, and on top of that, both times he had difficult, semi-blocked respawns against a well-executed double-build power, both times.
Thanks for the games!

Lider1 (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def WLK777 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Christian) 2d4 (3) 1.4.5

A wooden mine blocked by elves, okay. But there are 2 of my heroes in the tavern.
In the first week, I completely destroyed my army, so on day 121 I was left with only one wyvern. I placed a thousand gold, wyverns in the city without gorgons, and captured a secondary Inferno Castle. I didn't go underground; there were a bunch of earth elementals, and I had nothing to fight them with.

On the second day, I finally captured my secondary Castle, the entrance to which was guarded by annoying air units. There are wyverns in the fortress. In my main Castle, there are hydras, still in the city without gorgons, and I have no money. What a mess. I took the minimum Hive.

On day 131, I gathered all the junk, bought everything I could, and went to the Treasury.
132 + 6 wyverns
133 + 12 wyverns
134 + 4 wyverns
135 + 6 wyverns
136, a chest worth 15 gold and a minimal Utopia. Armor +4 attack and defense.
137, I take a shield +6 defense. I see blue flags in my Treasury.
141, a level 2 Utopia. A Sphere of Prohibition and Titan Armor. (Tazar still doesn't have a spellbook; he didn't have enough money before, and now he doesn't have time :D)
142, a Hive + 12 wyverns. A University. I'm heading towards the blue player. I see him taking the Helmet of Enlightenment, oh well...
143, Boots of Swiftness and I'm chasing him.
144, I'm chasing him through the Monolith, but I went the wrong way.
145, a noob told me where to go, final battle in the Citadel, victory.
The red orb helped a lot, considering that I still don't have a spellbook :D

Thanks for the game.

Lider1 (red, Bog, Tazar, Tazar) def WLK777 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Christian) 2sm4d(3) 1.4.5

Thanks for the game.

Confirmed. A well-deserved victory. The setup wasn't the worst but also not great. From the pickups: 2 with pokemons and 1 with monks. 2 cons (3+2). Seemed like plenty of gold on a huge respawn but... I never saved up for the portal.. :o Development was generally not great, and then at 145 Tazzy shows up with pairs for attack and defense totaling over 50, 44 vives and other subscriptions and a red orb. The rematch happened, thanks for the game ;)

bRitvo4kA (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def evil romantic (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2SM4d(3), 213
Had to find a way to play the whole game without logistics; in the very end, I found boots.
- Shakti, sneaking into my base on the second turn.
- my heroes. - opponent's - kingdom.
Thanks, Roma, for the game!

Mizrael(Castle, Caitlin, Edric) def DubrovinPoll(red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 127

We restarted a bit and began: external dwelling with crushers, fast roads, Uland with 5 elves, and the presence of gold-generating buildings said — play.
111 - 5 heroes scattered, the external dwelling was cleared, I took Edric as the main.
114 - crypt, a secondary necro hero, there a 6th hero was hired.
116 - another external dwelling with crushers, a dwarf dwelling-mini for 9 sharpshooters (took out all the elves on the quick and a handful of pokemons).
117 - cavaliers in the castle, Edric with Air magic.
Start of the second week - Hive for 8 vivi, split into groups of 4 and gave them to scouts to clear the respawns.
124 - broke through the monks' lot in the underground, buffed the main with cavaliers, and the scout with crushers ran to scout and then saw that the passage was already broken through, sharply turned back (as it turned out, just in time — Tazar just barely missed reaching the horse with the crushers).
126 - I spend the night in the red's secondary town, refilled mana and cast Haste.
127 - Edric reaches the swamp capital and captures it.
The next turn, the scout with swamp power tries to attack, but 27 crushers and mass Slow and Haste decide the outcome. Pavel decided to lay down his arms, as the battle's outcome was clear. Thanks for the game.

Zloy_romantik (Red, Dungeon, Miner, Miner) def Kash (Blue, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) 2SM4d(3) 125
After numerous restarts, I got a good result. A rich resource spawn with a lot of money and resources. On turn 113, I took the secondary resource of Conflux and noticed a path to the secondary resource of Stronghold. On turn 121, I stocked up and headed there, where I caught Tyraxor. Thanks for the game.
