Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def FireToSky (Red, Fortress, Wistan, Wistan), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.7. In the first week, things started badly: a Gnomish specialist appeared. I had to go and defend the only Kentaur Nest before attacking the 50-99 group of Kentauros. I broke through, and there was a 10-19 Viv block guarding a Quest Artifact (Telescope). I tried to go around and get to the Grassland, but it was a dead end. I went back to the Metro for 10-19 Storms. The units were united in the Castle. In the second week, on day 6, I went to the Medusa Lair, entered the Metro, and found Wistan near the Necropolis Factory with 50+ Lizardmen and 5 Vivs. I forced Wistan to pay tribute, having everyone in my army except for the Dryads. Then I took the Consul-Mini and went to another Consul near the Necropolis Factory. Vanya surrendered. Thank you for the game!

I confirm, in the first week I took a secondary castle, in the second week I went to the caves, my army was in a bad state, I was saving money for hydras in the castle, and then Pasha unexpectedly appeared. I ran away and left two units behind (that's what happened...).
Thanks for the game!

LeBron (blue, Necropolis, Gosha) def. Oelm (red, Rampart, Kirya) 134, 2w4d(3) They restarted. It generated a very ambiguous map – on one hand, there are many skeletons, and there’s a nice spot with 4 roads! I think it’s great – BUT then these problems start to appear – the first path is blocked, 10-19 ground gnolls. I go down the path – there’s a crowd of mages – I break through to the bottom, to the swamp, where there’s a guard of 19 ground medusas – I break through with a loss of 50 skeletons :( And there’s a block of ground gnolls, I turn around, I hit the mages and the secondary dungeon. On turn 123, Kirya appears with 30+ pegasus and 30+ grand griffons, and I have nothing but skeletons. I thought it was game over… After a few maneuvers, Gosha already takes the third consulate – and then, who knows. Kirya didn’t risk attacking and decided to settle on my land, and she paid for it. In the final, 500+ skeletons, 22 ducks, 3 angels, 25 normans, and 6 liches, supported by mass slow, left the elf with no chance. Thank you!

LeBron (blue, Necropolis, Gosha) def Oelm (red, Rampart, Kirya) 134, 2cm4d(3)

Confirmed! An unpleasant loss. It was a tough week financially, and Kirya was running around the swamp collecting money. But he could have come a day earlier and still made it. Then he guessed wrong with the direction. Galtran ran into the swamp, and from there into the Treasury, plus he had spurs and boots. After that... Thanks!

OUTLAW (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def SEM 56 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2SM4d (3), 1-3-6

Confirmed, a good result. On turn 113, I found 3 hives and 3 cons. On turn 117, another con and a hive. The result is 1-6, missing 3 and 5 in the citadel...
Turns 121-127, a secondary Rampart, I break into a Castle. I already have Earth, I take the monk's lair, upgrade for 96. With gargoyles, I take the artifact +3 luck/oracles - great!!
Next, a hive with 4 lives, already an Earth expert, but only 1 spell.
Turns 131-136, I take another hive with 8 lives, I level up wisdom, but no new spells. I take a con with 2 angels, I get a log, I run for a spell in the upgrade and, while moving with 2 angels, I aim for a con with 2-4 angels. Kirr appears and doesn't make it to the Castle, so I have to transfer troops to the Castle, and Valeska goes into defense...
I should have punished the opponent for such audacity, but the unicorn aura (which happens once in a hundred years, and it happened today) and the main stack of grand units didn't get affected by slow. And if they had, with full morale and luck, my ranged units would have wiped out almost half of the grand units in the first round, and the opponent would have fallen, but it didn't work out in my favor. Thanks for the game, I'm waiting for a rematch!!!

Evil_Romantic (Blue, Castle, Vala, Vala) def redwhait (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2SM4d(3) 125
A fun game with a quick finish. On the first week, native secondary hero, but no caches... I saw a passage through it to the opponent's respawn and had the idea of a quick rush — I stationed cavalry in the citadel, upgraded them at the stables, bought up archers from 2 castles, and went. I got lucky along the way and leveled up Air Magic to Expert — I already had Haste :) I broke through the guard, but went the wrong way, as it turned out, towards the opponent's secondary hero :eek: But then... I look, and lo and behold, there's Ivor roaming around with an army :D In the final fight, with Mass Haste, Ivor had no chance — the elves were immediately blocked by the cavalry, and then just dumb shooting ;)

SEM_56 (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Oelm (red, Pyra, Ignat) 2SM4d(3 115
Took all the rests, Pasha took 1, the distribution was good, put monsters on 114, but on 115 Pasha lost, as it turned out for the second time, and decided not to continue, they played for 6 minutes....

SEM_56 (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Oelm (red, Pyre, Ignat) 2SM4d(3 115

Confirmed. On turn 112, I attacked with 50 Imps against about 100 Zombies with a Graveyard and basic artillery. I thought it would be a disaster, but I destroyed 4 stacks, leaving 40 Imps and a single unit. Then, I started to panic and accidentally positioned them in a way that made them vulnerable, and I lost. The Zombies overwhelmed them. My main goal was to get Charon, but I made another mistake and bought Than instead. Charon disappeared. GG.

Yeah, that happened.

FireToSky (red, Citadel, Jabarkas, Jabarkas) def numOne (blue, Conf, Tunar, Crag), 2sm4d,146
Week 1: secondary skill Castle, 1-2-3-4-5-7 in the citadel
Week 2: secondary skill Conf, external dwelling of birds, bowstring accuracy 10%, bow 5%, cyclopes in the Castle
Week 3: secondary skill Necro, SNIPER'S BOW
To the catcher and the beast runs, in the Conf I upgrade the Storm Elementals, build the Castle, nearby their external dwelling) and so: 10 cyclopes, 41 orcs, 41 Storm Elementals, 28 birds, 60+ Wolf Raiders, 7 bears, 28 Ogre Magi (all upgraded except bears)
Week 4: I gather the whole army, see the opponent in the passage, march for about a week to the Conf capital, but a turn before the capital Crag attacks...
Crag's army and stats were roughly the same, but the fact I had the Sniper's Bow — the opponent clearly didn't expect it... GG!
Thanks for the game!

FireToSky (red, Citadel, Jabarkas, Jabarkas) def numOne (blue, Conflux, Thunar, Crag), 2sm4d,146

It happened!
I decided to learn how to play Conflux, and it turned out a bit clumsy for the first time :)
The layout, honestly speaking, was somewhat discouraging. The only secondary skill was Rampart-Village, and on "desert" terrain at that.:confused: A map bug apparently... And the second passage led through necro-land somewhere far away, with no roads visible at all.
I took Crag as a secondary hero and, in principle, despite the forced Eagle Eye, it wasn't all that bad. What disappointed me, though, was that both Griffin Conservatories I captured were minimal ones... And I never managed to expert Earth Magic, which I was given too late.
In the final battle, expert Earth, Air, and the Sniper's Bow from the opponent left me no chance.:smile54:

Thanks for the game!

Lider1 (blue, swamp, Tazar) def Ominous (red, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d3 223. Throughout the game, he struggled against his own spawn point. It was a series of close calls. But then he gathered more troops and defeated his opponent. Thank you for the game.

FireToSky (blue, Fortress, Vistan, Vistan) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Valeska, Gundula), 2sm4d(3), 225
Week 1: Tower secondary, I see the Dragon Utopia, not so great...
Week 2: a couple of crypts, I take the opponent's Inferno secondary,
Week 3: Dungeon secondary, min. gnome-town, max. crypt, Cloak of Renunciation, Town Portal scroll
142 - Gundula attacks the capital with 14 angels, 14 horses and over a hundred archers; I have 99 lizards, 4 hydras, and a few others... Lizards decide it, I fend them off...
Week 5: Gundula attacks Vistan under mass haste, kills almost all the lizards etc. I pay a ransom
223 - Gundula attacks the capital (with Golden Bow), 7 angels, 12 horses, 58 archers, 21 monks, 26 knights. Vistan has fewer; Month of Gogs helped, which allowed me to buy 88 gogs via Town Portal through the Inferno secondary, 9 Grade hydras, 43 lizards, 2 angels and others (didn't have enough money to buy everything), meteor decides it... After the battle, 12 gogs and 3 bulls remain; the opponent pays a ransom with a bunch of pikemen
225 - I jump between cities, level up magic, buy everything that might be useful for a warrior :) and Pavel sends news of surrender!
Thanks to Pavel for an interesting and intense game!

FireToSky (blue, Fortress, Wystan, Wystan) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Valeska, Gundula), 2sm4d(3), 225

Confirmed!

On the first week - 2 external Archer dwellings, Horses in the Castle. Only 1 secondary hero, and that one in the Metro behind 10-19 Monks. Had to take Ivan's secondary (Inferno) off-road.

On the second week - Minimal Naga Bank in the Treasury, but found nothing else. Took Max. Crypt, Medusa Den on 6 and Max. Dwarf Cottage on the native respawn, external Angel dwelling and Angels in the Main, took the Legion Head for 80 Air Elementals and a Greysmith and Max. Hive.

The game didn't progress further, as there was nothing left to do.

On the third week - nothing to do, took Konsa-Maxi, Dungeon secondary hero, and decided to go for the opponent.

On the fourth week - I hit ГО (40 Bears with Greysmith) with Mass Haste, assaulting. I was surprised by 99 Lizardmen, if it had shown up to 249 I certainly wouldn't have attacked, so I was fooled. I was even more surprised when, on direct distance, the Lizardmen shot up to 500 [of] the Angels. I retreated without really killing anyone (all Lizardmen and 5 Hydras remained).

On the fifth week - I picked up the Golden Bow on a lost Inferno secondary hero. Attacked Wystan, who turned out to have 20000, so Wystan fled, having bought me off.

On the sixth week - gathered everyone and marched on the Main Castle, in the battle I blundered by staying under Meteor until the end, I didn't have enough Magic, the Walls killed me faster. I bought myself off and surrendered, since Ivan was Portal-ing and had 4 Castles, against my 2.

Thanks for the game, I'm dissatisfied with myself, makes me want to shoot myself....:mad

Earlier I wrote that I do not admit defeat, because Ivan did not fulfill the corresponding requirements for building the Guild.

I double-checked, I apologize, I was mistaken.
Ivan built everything correctly.
