Hermit(blue, Castle, Valerka, Valerka) def Wik777(red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 131

From the start, 31 archers!!! True, they weren't delayed, so in the first week, there were only 1-4 in the Castle, a hidden monastery, a secondary Rampart, and elves in the Stronghold, and he had Luna at level 4, and Valerka at level 7. (There were four upgrade structures on the map.) But 31 upgraded archers at level 112 is a force, especially for Valerka. In the second turn, a severe wood crisis hit; there was a moment when I even regretted building the elves, but then, with the help of these elves, I captured a lumber mill on the Rampart's map with three piles of wood. Sorcha seemed to find a little, and cavalry units seemed to be built at level 127, but then Valerka took two dwarf mines with 75 dwarves each on the opponent's secondary map, and this apparently didn't please Dessa, and Valerka barely escaped from her, and in the last moment, near his Castle, he managed to pass the army to Terec, and Valerka surrendered normally. (14 enemy birds were an unpleasant shock.) In the next turn, I bought back Valerka, bought him a book, and settled in the Castle (I had to forget about the cavalry). The opponent attacked; a magic arrow took down 6 archers, the archers took down several birds, Dessa had no archers, in general, the reds surrendered. The reason for Dessa's attack is a little unclear (in an open field, I would have estimated our chances as 80/20 in favor of Valentin).

Thank you for the game.

From the start, 31 archers!!! True, they weren't delayed, so in the first week, there were only 1-4 in the Castle, a hidden monastery, a secondary Rampart, and elves in the Stronghold on his side. Luna was level 4, and Valeska was level 7. (There were four upgrade structures on his side.) But 31 upgraded archers on level 112 is a force, especially for Valeska. In the second turn, a severe wood crisis hit. There was a moment when I even regretted building the elves, but then, with the help of these elves, I captured a lumber mill on the Rampart side with three piles of wood. Sorcha seemed to find a little, and cavalry units seemed to be built on level 127, but then Valeska took two dwarven mines with 75 dwarves each on the opponent's secondary base, and this apparently didn't please Dessa, and Valeska barely managed to escape from her. In the last moment, near her own Castle, she managed to pass the army to Terek, and Valeska surrendered normally. (14 enemy birds were an unpleasant shock.) In the next turn, I bought back Valeska, bought her a book, and settled in the Castle (I had to forget about the cavalry). The opponent attacked; a magic arrow took down 6 archers, the archers took down several birds, Dessa had no archers, in general, the red side surrendered. The reason for Dessa's attack is a little unclear (in an open field, I would have estimated our chances as 80/20 in favor of Valentin).

Thank you for the game.

I get a little lost when an opponent appears on my base at the beginning of the game. I don't have much experience in such confrontations. This time, I chased after the opponent's main hero, who clearly had fewer troops than me, got carried away with the chase, and, due to the speed, got separated from the chain. In the heat of the moment, it's unclear why I attacked the Castle, but maybe it was because it was already level 131, and I was afraid that the opponent would attack me with a newly bought reinforcement, and my chain was far away, and I didn't have much money. Thank you for the game.

The opponent used all his restarts, and then I gave him 2 more. But still, his generator gave me the best setup (3 goblin lairs + 2 rings of life), and in the first week, I received information about the surrender.
Thanks to Valentin for the game!

The opponent used all his rests, and then I gave him 2 more as a gift. But in the end, the random number generator favored me today, and in the first week, I received information about the surrender.
Thanks to Valentin for the game!

Everything went exactly as described. Sorry that the game didn't go as planned.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar) def El Magnifico Sonic (Blue, Rampart, Киррь, Киррь), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.3.

On week 1 - secondary of Tower, external dwellings of Gnolls and Lizardmen, Вивы in Castle with Basilisks.

On week 3 - I attack Киррь, Denis buys himself out, I take 2 Cons (Treshka and Dvushka) there, we scout the Dragon Utopia, I get ready for it, Denis capitulates.

Thanks for the game!

Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Fortress, Tazar) def El Magnifico Sonic (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.3.

Made very poor use of the restart — on the first [attempt], Conflux in the Citadel and secondary [skill] Swamp; on the second, a couple of mistakes and as a result, a loss in the battle against Pavel...
There was no point in continuing...

Thanks for the game...

Heavy case (blue, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Gunnisson) def Evil Romantic (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 141

On the first week, in the castle without [units from] dwelling 4 and 6. On the second, I took their same external dwelling. Cleared my own and two adjacent respawns a bit, got 12 Wyverns, 2 Angels and on day 135 went through the wasteland to the opponent's respawn. But it took a whole three days to reach the castle, because running who knows where) On day 141, I passed fresh meat along the chain. Caught Edramon with 6 reds near the castle. Finally attacked the castle.
Gurni 17 5 7 5 with Expert Earth, but without Slow: 10 Bears, 12 Wyverns, 2 Angels, 18 Harpies, 20 Ogre Magi, 54 Thugs and 48 Orc Chiefs.
Shakhti - 5 7 5 4 with Shackles [of War] and Oil: 4 Minotaurs, 9 Minions, a dozen Eyes and Troglodytes.
Thanks for the game)

A tough case (Blue, Stronghold, Gunnison, Gunnison) def. Злой романтик (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 141
Confirmed. I found an external dwelling of dragons, which forced me to rework my entire game plan, and because of that I didn't take 113 (the respawn was very "not great")))). I managed to shove the dragons into a fort on 127, thinking I could develop in time, but my opponent came earlier than I expected. As a result, a messy chain and a scout hero caught with the dragons near the castle. In the final battle, almost no chance.
Thanks for the game

tititimo11 (red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Heavy Case (blue, Conflux, ?))
In the first week, I captured a Stronghold; my Stone Castle was blocked by a Horde of Ul'zgar snakes (I found secondary resources because of this, which slowed me down with the dragons). In the first week, I had harpies and tragons on the outer ramparts, and medusas on the second. I went down, then to a Rampart, and then the opponent settled in a Rampart – I accumulated resources in the corner to buy it back. I attacked – he surrendered, I bought a hero and went to catch up with the snake and clear out the medusas. The opponent ran along the path with fresh troops, but the path was tricky and led him in the wrong direction. I gathered all the loot, ran into him, and attacked.
Thanks for the game.

Oelm (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Javdet(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 127

We chose decent towns for ourselves.

Native respawn without hiding spots. On 111 I upgraded the lizardmen and off we went. Along the way I ran into a mage block, turned around: :( . The paths are slow, any mistake costs dearly, but at least the scout revealed a Conservatory on 1 with an upgrade. And on 115 I took it with Ivor, though only 9 lizardmen survived. Hydras at home in the Stronghold. +2000 gold left over

On the second turn I immediately take the Boots, break through to the conf secondary adjacent to blue. Tazar goes to the secondary, (he had learned First Aid, the Tent, and 1 Angel worked wonders:D ) Further on, strategically, Shakti outpaces me in stats, especially in magic, but he's in no hurry to hit the block. I break the two Conservatory and decide to scout the enemy respawn. And I make it just in time!:smile54: Before I attacked Shakti, he had already managed to clear two Hives for 16 Wyverns in one day, and had Logistics as well. I reach him with my last movement point and attack.

I make a mistake in the positioning, which causes the 16 Wyverns to immediately hit the lizardmen:smile04:
I should have swapped the air elementals and the Wyverns. Just in case, I have 10 K gold so I can buy myself out if he hits hard with magic.

FB: Tazar 4-9-2-4 lvl 11 Expert Armorer, First Aid, Earth, Logistics, 2 Hydras, 3 Angels, 2 Wyverns, 6 Water Elementals, 3 Air Elementals, 25 Lizard Warriors, and the Tent.

vs Shakti 9-8-8-9 lvl 12 Expert Offense, Tactics, Air, Estate(!), Basic Logistics and Wisdom. 6 Manticores, 16 Wyverns, 19 Troglodytes.
No spellbook.

But Tazar has full mana, and Stone Skin, as well as Bless, and Bloodlust from the useful spells. First round I cast Stone Skin, and 1 Hydra and 9 Lizardmen and the Water Elementals held. If I had swapped the Air Elementals with the Wyverns, it would have been much easier.

Thanks for the game!

And overall Javdet had a bad respawn, I would have restarted that. But if I had gone for development, it’s still unknown how things would have turned out later. In the area he moved into, there were still more Hives visible.

numOne (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Mizrael (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 125

All rests were chosen, including the encounter one.
Distribution - Vali got 3 stacks, archers are not built. 3 secondaries (the barbarian one is blocked by a crowd of snipers guarding the imp building).
On the first turn, I took my own secondary and the archer producer. In my home town, horses are in the citadel. Vali was given air magic. I spotted 2 treasure zones, with 2 Dragon Utopias side-by-side in one.
On the second turn, I took the dwarf building (30 each) and the medusa building. With 50+ shooters, I broke through to the snow respawn. I took a +4 hat and a +1 all armor cuirass. Vali is an expert in air magic, they were given tactics...
But then a message comes from Mikhail about a throw... Griffins were wiped several times in the conservatory. The autopsy showed that on the grass secondary, the opponent had 3 conservatories right next to the road. But luck was on my side.

Thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game.

numOne (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Mizrael (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 125

The start was normal, with a hidden stash of troglodytes. On the first day, I defeated a gnome with 100 gnomes, and they gave me logistics. There were many ranged units, so I had to sacrifice harpies and troglodytes to break through. I reached the grassland, where there was a crypt with 5 vampires, a secondary rampart, and three cans – hmm. At the beginning of the second day, 5 cats and 90 troglodytes under a blessing spell took out a tier 2 unit. Then, I defended against a warrior's tomb with fire elementals, and there was a +6 sword... This lured me into a tier 3 can without replenishing mana, although I already had mana oil, but I didn't want to lose a day... With equal morale, our armies had griffins get stunned 4 times, but otherwise, the 12-8 stats were enough to defeat her. Thanks for the game.

blue Kash (Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def red Wlk777 (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 117
He seemed to be developing well, even without bows from the start after all the resets. On turn 117, the opponent reported conceding.

blue Kash (Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def red Wlk777 (Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar), 2sm4d(3), 126
First week - 2 secondary resources, a Conflux, and a Castle. There didn't seem to be much else to do on all three resource nodes, so I went to attack the opponent. On turn 124, I attacked the guard from the adjacent resource node but didn't quite reach the scouting range. On turn 125, from the scouting range, I saw that, darn, the capital was nearby, and a little further away was Shakti. I decided to attack Shakti. I killed him. On turn 126, the looters searched around - as a result, Kirr found Gunnar on a secondary resource node with 6 Thunderbirds and 4 Manticores. Kirr, level 9, with 20 upgraded bows and upgraded Pegasus + mass slow, left no chance.
Thanks for the game.
