Loi(red,ramp,Kyrre,Kyrre) def Wlk777(blue,strong,Gurni,Gurni) 2sm4d(3) 117
On day 117, the opponent surrenders when capturing the external dwelling of bears; upon recapture, he auto-surrenders again. Although in a calm situation the opponent easily took that external dwelling, luck wasn't on his side in the game. My cavalry in the castle were blocking.

External dwelling of Centaurs, cavalry in the castle, in the secondary town Conflux-market, 1-2 in the Citadel, external dwelling of air elementals bought out. On the second day, I broke through to the grass via wasteland, lit the lamp, Gurni flashed by — he should have ideally continued scouting, so I spun Kyrre around in a small area, pulled up all the troops, and waited. But no, Gurni ate 1000 at the mill and disappeared; I was disappointed and ran after him. Didn't catch him, but saw the Griffin Conservatory — still, I sacrificed a good scout, broke through the level 3 dwelling and made a move toward the adjacent zone of Castle. There I stormed Gurni; the advantage in troops and parameters gave me the victory.
Thanks for the games.

Vigo (blue, Conflux, random, Brissa, Monor) def Lider1 (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2sm4d(3) 121 After all the resets, the game starts with built-up air elementals, and Monor is in the tavern. Near the house, there are two nagas and two medusas, plus gloves. Grade 15 storms and travel. At the end of the first week, he didn't reach the secondary resource node, the Swamp, due to neutral creatures on the path. At home, the bird huts were built, and a chain was established to the secondary resource node for paid teleportation home, to destroy the nagas and medusas, and then to go to the treasure, where he already spotted the Knight Order (KO) :) The opponent didn't have a good game. Thank you for the game.

What the hell! The respawn was great. Boots of Speed were revealed behind a group of dendroids, a Golden Bow, and an external dwelling of elves. Didn't take any of it. For some reason went to break through a passage to the secondary. Attacked the archers without elves, the centaurs got worn down, and he lost to the guys with whips on the first one. Revealed the external dwelling on day 7, but never took it. On the second, he went with 4 horses to the boots, but the dendroids screwed around, tied them up, and killed 7 wretched elves. After that, there was no desire to play anymore.

Played disjointedly, sloppily, and irresponsibly, and that's the result.

Thanks for the game.

AZ (red - Inferno - Pyra) def Djede (blue - Stronghold - Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 217

We started without restarts - I liked the map because I found 3 dog lairs - and my overall dog growth was 31 per week. And the dog upgrade - you know how powerful they are, especially with an expert speed boost (which I had). I quickly scouted my territory, went into the opponent's territory, captured a secondary castle, and after a couple of days, I ran away from Gurnisson... After collecting 3 Pandora's Boxes, my opponent rushed home because she had almost no army left - I quickly moved to the castle with expert logistics and easily captured it.

I confirm. Pandora has let me down many times... Hoping for something worthwhile, I wasn't afraid to lose my army... but I should have been! The Pandora boxes contained useless items, and that's what defeated me. After losing my army, I went home, but there weren't enough troops in the castle to win. Cerberuses are really great! Thanks for the game.
I won't be taking Pandora boxes anymore!:smile01:

That happened before... I didn't expect that 3 Necropolises would have maximum stats... in a row... the theory of probability is taking a break...
Thanks for the game.

Lord Jorik (Blue, Castle, Valiska, Valiska) def. Oelm (Red, Rampart, Kir, Kir) - see match (3), 135
There were 2 cons, as it turned out, minimal requirements, I took them, the opponent arrived, and the war began... In the end, I defended, got +5 Strength of Magic artifacts, and didn't make it in 1 turn. He stole them right in front of me and attacked me without removing the shackles, and hurray, victory!!!!! Having lost Kir, the opponent surrenders.

Confirmed. Started without archers, without reserves, on slow roads, and with a dwarf rush. On day 113, I took a secondary Castle. I decided not to restart because I had enough money. I was doing okay, and on day 121, I stopped before the wood, but I didn't have enough money to buy it, so I decided to go with part of my army to attack:smile18:.
I wanted to surrender, but then I saw the tavern, and the opponent's pace wasn't very fast. I attacked the wood, reinforced my troops, took the Necropolis, and teleported to the Blue player on day 126. My army consisted of Lucari from the Castle, horses, wood, and dwarves. I sent Valeska with an Angel and Edric with archers. Edric paid a ransom, and then I attacked Valeska, who also paid a ransom. That's where I messed up badly. Because I thought the Blue player couldn't win, I visited the upgrade building to level up my Earth expert, but I should have replenished my mana. On my turn, Valeska with the ransomed Angel, 3 horses, Ice Bolt, and other units attacked the guard at the Castle, but I didn't even go there:). There was only one guard at the Castle, and she attacked me with Angels and Champions. Then the blunders began; I couldn't switch from a light strategy to a fighting one.
I used my mana incorrectly in battle, paid a ransom, and on the next turn, I stole bracers from Valeska right under her nose and made another foolish attack with Kentas. But I should have saved up and boldly attacked with bracers and reinforcements. In the end, after 3 ransoms, I attacked with bracers, but I didn't manage to destroy the Angel, and in such battles, it's important to see the mana reserve, but I don't have the Platinum version. GG.

I've been playing poorly in the last few matches.

Thank you.

Loi(red,ramp,Kyrre,Kyrre)def Heavy case(blue,strong,Gurni,Gurni)2sm4d(3) 117
One of the best layouts for ramp. Two native heroes, 2 external elf dwellings, one dwarf dwelling, an external dragon dwelling guarded by 10-19 simple nagas, 4 roads with non-shooter guards, 2 Griffin Conservatories revealed. On 117: cavalry in the castle, 26 elves and 60+ Centaurs, 17 dwarves — a week 1 army. Kyrre on the fast start before the stables with a rich secondary skill set from Conflux. Due to poor connection, among other reasons, the opponent conceded victory.
Thanks for the game, too bad we couldn't finish it.

One of the best layouts for ramp. Two native heroes, 2 external elf dwellings, one gnome dwelling, an external dragon dwelling for 10-19 with simple nagas, 4 roads with non-shooter guards, 2 Griffin Conservatories revealed. On day 117: cavalry in the castle, 26 elves and 60+ centaurs, 17 gnomes — a first-week army. Kyrre on the boost before the stable, with a rich secondary skill set in Conflux. The opponent, partly due to bad connection, conceded the victory.
Thanks for the game, too bad we couldn't finish it.

Fell for the boots, but the respawn is actually poor. At the end of the week, I hit a blocked road on the only path, the bears didn't spawn, and the internet kept cutting out. Decided not to continue.)
Thanks for the game)

We agreed to play until 2 wins. Whoever wins two games gets the third as a bonus. We played Swamp vs. Swamp.

Lider1 (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Invisible (blue, Swamp, Wystan, Wystan) 2sm4d(3) 124.

The map was Chocolate. 3 hives, 4 Griffin Conservatories, 2 Dragon Utopias. Native secondary, two picks controlled 85% of the map ))) In the main town, hydras in the Citadel, nothing in the secondary. I remember a severe lack of heroes.
Week 121 Wyvern. Smashed the tree, ran to the secondary and the Conservatory, but Invisible surrendered somewhere.





Lider1 (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Invisible (red, Swamp, Wystan, Wystan) 2sm4d(3) 146

First week, Wyverns in the Citadel, and the secondary is a Tower, there is also a native secondary, but I was afraid to fight a bunch of Cerberi.

The boots helped a lot, smashed a hive on week 6, the guards from two more were also killed. I didn't push because I had no meat and I felt too sorry for the lizardmen.

I pushed on the third week and they were 2 minimal stacks, took a Dragon Utopia, got a very timely Gladius, Book of Air, and a +4 Shield.

On turn 137 I wanted to take the opponent's castle to deny him the spawn, flew over the GO but went the wrong way. Had Earth magic expert, but no Scouting, had only Air magic scouting, but no longer had Air magic.

Also ended up in a position where the chains on turn 141 ran right past me, instead of blocking them near the Conservatory...

At home in the treasure zone there is an unclaimed Dragon Utopia, replenish my mana (thankfully a well was on the road) and back. Took the Dragon Utopia. There was a Teapot, and a +12 Necklace of Swiftness, just what I needed, and Boots of Resistance. I replenished my mana and moved towards the enemy. I was very afraid he would run. And the game would drag on forever (I shouldn't have revealed myself, but should have attacked only when I could definitely reach him).

But Invisible, fortunately, met death face to face, as a warrior should.



Well, and the third victory as a gift.
(vbn: only this "victory" won't count towards the Season standings)



Thanks for the games.

LeBron (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def Loi (red, Rampart, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3), 141
they let me fool around with Dungeon again :D
This game is dedicated to those who like to argue that breaking through to the GO on the second month is a rarity
so I took 1 rest and off we went
111 Slow roads, I scout 2 Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Fly Hive. 118 Troglodytes, no Harpies for speed boost, a level 3 hero - the first Griffin Conservatory is checked, it's a two-stack with Gorgons
112 the scout spots another Griffin Conservatory on the snow respawn, very little gold
113 I place Shakti in front of the passage to the snow, I don't check the 2nd native Griffin Conservatory yet
114 I kill 30 Cerberi with a loss of 2 Troglodytes and 5 Pikemen :cool:
115 I check the snow Griffin Conservatory - a fake with Gorgons - excellent! now we fly on an Angel
116 I run along the slow path to the Tower
117 another Griffin Conservatory is spotted, I didn't check it, decided to take it anyway on 121. At home, Eyes in Fort + Mushrooms because there's almost no gold - in the Tower, a Mage Guild with Slow and Haste, no Bless for Shakti
121 Full buyout - I take the third Griffin Conservatory with Gorgons - losses are 20 Troglodytes, 6 Harpies, and free Gremlins from an external dwelling :)

then the miracles of leveling began: I was offered a choice between Navigation or Diplomacy - out of TE habit I took Navigation - I LEVELED IT TO EXPERT because nothing else was offered - on the next level, a choice between Mysticism or Catapult - I leveled Catapult. On the next level, Fire or Diplomacy :smile18: the worst skill progression I've ever had
122 I break back home to the two-stack Griffin Conservatory - losses 4 Troglodytes, Dragon Fly Hive at 8 - I head to the GO with no mana
123 Loi takes the third Griffin Conservatory!!! Shakti before the GO

124 I FIGHT THE GO with 56 Grecian Hags, no mana, we formed 7 stacks of 8 creatures each - the Angel only killed 7 Hags per hit :( the Angel was blinded 5 times. -2 Angels and all the meat.
125 I don't know what to do next, I go into the basement - Kyrre's secondary hero, there I take a two-stack Griffin Conservatory and go into the treasure zone, since I spotted Kyrre with 1-4 Angels and decent power
Then began the tactical struggle with secondary heroes changing hands back and forth and Town Portal. Shakti in slots 7 and 8 finally got Armorer and Earth Magic, found the КЗ, mowed down some stacks of Dragon Flies, boosted his stats and finally killed Kyrre who, having lost the Dragon Utopia, sat in the castle where I got him

Thank you for the game!
PS GO on day 124 on slow roads in the Sode without magic :) never done that before. And it was the only chance for a game

LeBron (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def Loi (red, Rampart, Kirya) 2sm4d(3), 141

It happened. Didn't have enough tempo to overtake the blue player and take the outpost in the dungeon. Only managed to take a tier-3 outpost on turn 124, and I positioned myself incorrectly, resulting in a complete loss of my grand stack... After Shakti moved to the treasury, I tried to rush to the secondary necropolis to move to the treasury as well, but after revealing the map, I realized that even Kirya was too far away. In the end, I created a stack on the home utopia, which, as I thought, was not noticed by the blue player's scouts. On turn 141 (or maybe even earlier), I took the outpost and received a necklace, a 4/4 breastplate, and a captain's hat. In the final battle against the explosion, with 9 angels and 23 vivs, my 13 uniques, 3 angels, 23 pegasus, and 40 grand units looked weak. :)
Thank you for the game.

blue Kash (rampart, Kirry, Kirry) lose red Dubrovin Pavel (Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 137
I've never had 21 elves from the start before... First time.
On the first secondary-Castle, there were 1-2 in the citadel, horses at home in the Castle and +1000 in both. gut. They keep putting unnecessary skills - I had to level up wisdom exp.
On the second, a swampy secondary, it had vives, there's a tree on it, a tree below it and Dragon Utopia is spotted-not taken; I took an artifact +2 speed and a box of fire magic for some Vasya who had moraled six times. They chewed up all the archers, elves are alive. gut. By the end of the week, I finished air and earth.
On the third - in another treasure zone, under the Castle, I snatched shooting artifacts from hydras and angels - 5,10,15,15%, elf bow is spotted - wondering if I should collect it? And also air and fire orbs. gut. At 135 I'm standing by the tree, thinking of taking it and those two, and at 141 - Dragon Utopia.
136 Valya hits ГО and is half a move from the main city, with 10 horses, 11 angels, 60+ archers etc. I have less meat, but parameters are comparable plus I'm at home and I'm a berserker! Without thinking, I clash and accept a difficult agonizing death in the capital... Yes, there is some neck piece against berserk - but it's rarely worn. And that the courage badge (!) protects from this misfortune, even Pasha didn't know... In general, there were no chances against 11 angels)
Thanks for the game!
Why didn't you wait until I took Dragon Utopia - there was such tasty stuff there! :D

blue Kash (Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) lose red Dubrovin Pavel, (Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 137
I've never had 21 elves from the start... First time.
And even Pasha didn't know that the Badge of Courage (!) protects against this scourge... In short, there was no chance against 11 angels)
Thanks for the game!
Why didn't you wait until I take the Dragon Utopia - there was such a delicious thing there! :D

I confirm my victory, I suppose.:)

In the first week - secondary Rampart and Conflux, Cavalry in Castle.

In the second week - Minimal Medusa Bank, Naga Bank for 3 Nagas, Consa-Minimal on secondary. Home-Angels.

In the third week - Minimal and Maximal Consa on Rampart secondary and Consa-Dvushka on Conflux secondary. I hit ГО (50-99 Psychos). I attack the Castle where Kirr turned out to be. As it turned out, the Badge of Courage saved me from Berserker, which Valera (Loy) explained to me, otherwise I didn't want to write about the victory, thinking it was a Bug.

Thanks to Vitya for the game!
