TaKo (red, Castle, Valya, Valya) def Maggot (blue, Ramp, Kirya, Kirya) xl, spider, 217

Hmm... what can I say - thank you to my opponent for the patience. There were major real-life hiccups with work, and I couldn't play for a long time. Zhenya waited for me - huge thanks to him for that!

Regarding the game itself - we played very slowly. The start was nothing but shooter blocks and guards... The archers were melting before my eyes. The first encounter on day 117 - I almost hanged myself from my opponent's stats :) But I somehow won the battle almost without issues - he just mowed down my shooters almost to zero again :( Result - the 2nd and 3rd weeks were spent fruitlessly in a total time crunch - no money, hardly any army. Plus the bold computer killed all the neutrals... Awful. On day 141 I captured a computer's castle - and it had a capitol! We're alive... The computer was killed. I had plenty of money - the game started rolling... 2 Dragon Fly Hives on levels 4 and 6 Wyverns, 2 Griffin Conservatories of 3rds.... One - right under Kiryusha's nose. In the final, my opponent fortunately had Mass Slow, Stone Skin, Golden Bow, and tons of Grand Elves. I countered with Mass Haste and a slightly beefier army. The Elves under the blessing in the 1st round took out 4(!) Angels right away... He cried. I took brutal revenge :D

Many thanks for the game!!

Confirmed :)
Well, what can I say, besides the fact that the game was delayed for so long, the connection was awful:( , and for our patience we should be given medals :smile49: .
On the first week, the secondary was swamp and Wystan in the tavern - Lizardmen (22 of them). Seemed calm enough. I'm clearing out various critters. On day 117, the encounter, despite Kirya's stats being higher than Valya's, I lost the fight; I'll even say more - I played it incompetently. However, the troop advantage was also on the opponent's side (the nearby neutrals were mostly shooters, and I lost almost all my Centaurs and Dwarves to them). To buy back the hero, I had to exchange all my resources; the units were all weak, basically a scouting party :D, but despite that, I beheaded the green bot :rolleyes: :D . I crawled around the underground, crawled around, didn't find much of interest: a Neutral Conflux, a Griffin Conservatory on turn 2. Could have taken another one plus a Hive, but didn't, because I would have lost 2-3 days; instead, I headed to the red's secondary (already) swamp. Was one turn short :mad: , Valya is cleaning out my(!:D) little conservatory right in front of me :(, I ran back to the starting respawn, grabbed the Golden Bow and the creatures from the castle, decided not to drag it out, went for the final battle :smile13: , on the first turn I take out 4 Angels with Elves, and then the opponent has Mass Haste (even the Archers were faster than my Angels! :smile21: ), by the time my turn came, almost everyone was killed :( - I lost.
Thanks for the interesting game ;) :)

FireToSky (blue, Castle, Valya, Valya) def KостяN (red, Tundra, Nella, Moner), 2sm4d(3), 145
111 - gray wolves with bows, about 31 of them, I see a hidden stash of angels(!), Moon appears
On turn 1, I destroy 4 conscripts(!), take the hidden stash of archers, break through the guard to the secondary castle, max out the crypt, release Marius with extra defense in the dungeon
Cavalry in the castle!
121 - Maria takes the minimum number of conscripts
126-127 - Masha takes 2 more conscripts, 3 each, I lose 6 cavalry, 3 marksmen, 4 swordsmen, about 20 archers...
127 - Valya defends against the hidden stash of angels
Maria is level 11, Valya is level 5 (but Valya will be the main hero, because she has a log)
I haven't built any angels yet...
131 - Naga bank for 6k
132 - conscripts for 3, I lose an angel :stenka:
133 - another naga bank for 6k, Valya is already an expert in logs, she's rampaging with 11 angels
During the week, I find a secondary Necropolis castle, I reach the treasure, but I don't find anything except an Earth Elemental, I'm afraid to attack with only angels)
137 - Valya breaks through to the capital
142 - I attack the Gate of the Underworld with 3 Rusty automatons
143 - I take the capital (21 mages, a bunch of djinns)
144 - Moner takes my secondary Necropolis castle
145 - The opponent surrenders without a fight, Valya had better stats, and 16 angels probably inspired fear...
Thanks for the game!

Ready to play with Alex_R. I'm free all day on the 24th.

Hmm, I played as Kirei :)

Apparently, 22 lizards include the 9 bought at the swamp.

That's right ;)

Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Gellar, ??? (didn't have time to decide)) def Heavy Case (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 116.
I was doing well - by the end of the week, I was building birds in the Castle, and had scouted 3 Conservatories. But the opponent rage-quit and surrendered, and I couldn't convince him to take an auto-win.
Thank you for the game.

From the start, 20 Elves (hidden almost under the Castle) and Tazar in the tavern. I took a couple of Crypts, and a secondary Castle. And next to it, a Dungeon with a hundred Griffins. Tazar, with 20 Grand Griffins and fifty Kentaur, got a beating)) Thanks for the match.

Hmm, I played Kirey :)

Tfu, damn. I'm so stupid. :D Then there are no questions. In SoD Kirr is cooler than Vistan!

pre-draw for the 2nd round:
Mizrael vs Vigo (regardless of the result of Javdet vs Vigo)
Smoke_MK vs Ta_Kotoraya... (regardless of the result of Alex_R vs Smoke_MK)
Erdem vs Javdet
Maggot vs Argonavt
Ahivog vs Alex_R
it turned out a bit messy:)
good luck to everyone in the games - I'll fill in the table as soon as I fix the internet, I'll definitely be there before the 1st.

Yes.

Thanks for the game!

You're welcome!:)

And here's the report...:D

Moner, the Finnish prince (a drama in 4 acts).

Dramatis personae:

Nella – queen of the Finns, mother of Moner (a very thick-skinned and very blue woman).

Moner(aka Monya) – Finland's hope, son of Nella (a rare boor, but quite charming).

Iona – a distant relative, always getting underfoot.

Gelar – Mony's bookworm brother (seems to be an artist, as he appears with a bow tie and always loaded with cash).

Coronius – just a Centaur.

Riza – the local moonshiner.

Valka – a sorry sight ( for the unfffortunate Finns).

The Red Finns – extras in the form of local party activists.

The Blue People – Valka's very Russian retinue.

Act No.1. Scene No.1.

Nella (smoking on the porch). The land of Suomi is buried in snow,
And the treasury is running out of dough,
And the peace treaty with the Russians
Expired who knows when...

Iona (cadging a cigarette). Trou-uble!.....

Coronius (crawling out of the tavern). My Centaurs, having been to the tavern,
Are ready to go fight and collect taxes!
And I am ready, but my legs aren't ready...

Nella. …And Monya, as luck would have it, has disappeared...

Moner (appearing in the company of a night butterfly). But Mom, I've been fasting and praying!
And with fresh strength I am ready,
If not for Labor and Defense, then for ATTACK!

Iona (thoughtfully). But a sober gremlin isn't inclined to fight.

Moner. I'll cover the feast! I'm paying!
Aah, no-oo – let my brother the nerd Gelka better
Open his bottomless wallet.
(I've gone a bit bankrupt on handouts!..)
And with the guys as blue as the sky
We'll march out – they'll all fall before us!

(Everyone applauds Finland's Hope, except for Nella who spits skeptically).

Scene No.2.

Nella. I had to go into our family crypt myself,
Smash coffins... What 'poor Yorick'?!?
Here: poor Centaur, and poor Centaur, and poor Centaur –
Three of them fell, and tears – a whole sea!
They took the cherry bow, the telescope –
Hell!! there's a war on, and here – toys!
Then a whole bunch of blue-skinned b-ladies
Left only little horn-ears from the cover.

Moner. But we captured four beards!
Hey, Riza, pour some more from the cauldron!

Coronius. Allow me, so to speak, to report:
The road has 'breathed its last' -
It ran into three unheard-of contraptions,
Rusty Dragons, and although we're short
On ore, I think 'to hell with it' -
They wouldn't accept them for scrap anyway...

Moner. And why not?? Or maybe, go straight through?..

(Nella twirls her finger at her temple).

Scene No.3.

Gelar. I had an incident today:
They wouldn't let me into the conservatory to study!
There was a storm, a thunderstorm, and I, well, I...
I've been afraid of thunderstorms since childhood – can't help it...

Moner. You're a loser, bro – this is our chance!
What's needed here is a machine gun, not a curtsy!!!

Nella. Cool it, Monya: you're behind the wheel.
Better watch the bumpy dirt road.
We'll save up more troops, pour everyone a drink –
And we'll mow them all down with one rifle for all.

Moner. And that rotten tree – do you also
Order me to put up with it in my own country?!
It's written all over its guards' mugs...

Nella (sharply). Don't you dare! Don't you dare! Don't you daaare!!!

Riza. Newest brew ready: 'Black Death'!

(Everyone curiously peers into her cauldron and 'partakes' ).

Scene No.4.

Nella. So, let me sum up the week:
It's disappointing – we're up the creek!

Iona. Oh, that's putting it mildly! We're in the deep end. In the DEEP END!!
And we'll never get to the Dragon Utopias in this lifetime!

Moner. There are Nagas in the fort – what do you want, I don't get it?
Scouting did a great job,
We raided the neutrals,
Most victoriously through our own respawn...

Nella (interrupts). Shut up, son! Can't you see – we're grieving:
Problems in development are like a cloud, or a sea!..
No towns, except the capital;
And no money in sight... absolutely none,
Though we built a currency exchange booth
And exchanged everything in a hurry there...

Moner(yawning>. Your finances don't excite me!..
I'd rather have a Dragon Utopia, or even a treasure zone...

Nella. Oh, hush, son, or I'll cut you!

Act No.2. Scene No.1.
Moner (angrily). Ma, this isn't even funny!
A ship that fears the rocks is bad!
To capture a 'Temple of Music' from raging storms
And then be scared, of what? Violin scrolls??

Nella. Who are you talking back to, you brat, you snot-nose?!
Cross yourself! Drink about 200 grams of brine!
Your 'ship' won't even squeak 'SOS!',
When you try tipping the scales in their orchestra!
They'll ruin the new – 'brand spanking'! – caps,
And what will you fight with, just think...

Moner. With Nagas, Mom, exclusively with Nagas,
I'll buy 4, anything less is too petty!..

Iona. I'll soon go 'nuts' with you lot:
2 legs is normal, 4 is a 'squirrel'!!

Scene No.2.

Moner. So, what is it, my faithful brew-scooper,
Riiiza, what do you have to say this time?
The Preserve the devils left for us,
Is it fatty and edible for us?

Riza (cynically). Oh, suuure!

Moner (getting irritated). Oh yeah?! Take this!!!

(Everyone, including the extras, silently beat up Riza, including with Nagas).

Scene No.3.

Nella. 1,2,7. Good job, son –
You resisted the foolish temptations
To throw away the army – and you could haaave!..
Though it wasn't without deviations
From the Finnish tactic 'The slower – the better!'
Dwarf Cottage-20 – what was the point of that?
They teach kids about that in 1st grade!
The main thing is not to throw away! Or are you a megabison?

Moner. Yep! That's me, that's me!..
And you forgot about the Medusa Cottage too, Mom.
I can't keep silent any longer!
Are you a queen, a prince's mother,
Or a mare??
How long will you hold back my
Military thought's bold impulses?
Better just pour me some for courage –
I'll go surrender, jumping off a cliff!
I'm sick of your crypts at 2,
ГО – a total taboo, Dragon Utopias
In the 3rd month – and, like, I'm a hero
For sitting out the entire 1st month as if in a trench!
'Preserve? Don't open!!!' – Is it poison or what?
I won't even mention treasure zones, Naga banks!..
It'd be better if you fired me from the prince's post
And figured things out yourself as a mom!
She'll cry, she'll surely cry yet,
My dear 'motorized infantry'...
But I'm tired of crawling like a worm –
I want to fly, you know!

(Everyone cries, moved by the speech of Finland's Hope, except for the thick-skinned Nella – she, the bitch, doesn't change her expression)

Intermission (to be continued... )

Sorry, the '2nd volume of Dead Souls' was, like, burned:o ...

You could easily award a medal for such a report!

Yes.


You're welcome!:)

And here's the report...:D

Moner, the Finnish Prince (a drama in 4 acts).

Characters:


(Everyone is crying, touched by the speech of the Hope of Finland, except for the thick-skinned Nella – she's still a bitch and doesn't change her expression)

Intermission (to be continued...).

Whether you bathe or not, that's the question.... well....... (censored)
Kostya, give me a high five, it made me smile:D

SUPER!!! WAITING FOR THE CONTINUATION:smile14:

Ready to play with Alex_R. I'm free all day on the 24th.

Couldn't log into the forum under that nickname for a couple of days – I saw the message, replied on ICQ, but didn't get a response, just like a week ago... :smile30: I'll be playing in the second round.

I demand that the show continues!!!

Finally, after the bug was fixed, I was able to access the forum! Opponent, respond, my ISQ is in my profile... I'm waiting!
