Dubrovnin Pavel (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def zmeyinstakill (Red, Tower, Niela, Niela), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.1.

confirmed

Added after 4 hours 2 minutes
Dubrovnin Pavel (Red, Valeska, Valeska) def wariator (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.5.

On the first week – too few Archers arrived (19), while breaking through to the Inferno secondary, I lost 4 Marks. Home-Horses in Stronghold.

On the second week – Dungeon secondary.

On the third week – Stronghold secondary via rough terrain, Conflux-Tre, Max Hive, only found 2 entrances to Treasure there, but since the Chains were insufficient for transferring the Army if needed, I went to develop the Inferno secondary, hoping for the best. Angels-Home.

On the fourth week – the secondary turned out to be a passage into Inferno territory. I took Conflux-Max, upgraded the Angels, took 2 Dragon Utopias (Minimum and Two). Got Titan’s Cuirass, Book of Air, Sandals of the Saint.

On the fifth week – Dragon Utopia-Two (Lion’s Shield, Bag of Gold). I speed up before Roman's Respawn, take the practically empty Main. Dungeon secondary. Tazar comes out of the Darkness towards my Dungeon secondary. I Dimension Door, but I miss by one cell. Tazar takes the Dungeon, goes down. On the next turn I attack, deploying Magic Artifacts.
However, I stumble upon Tazar’s Red Ball. But given that part of the Army remained un-bought by Tazar, Valya wins.

Thanks to Roman for a dynamic game!

True! I only had one chance to attack with a flanking maneuver on the right on the second week because I built everything except for the hydras in the castle on the first week + I had a hidden swarm of flies! Thank you very much for the game, Pavel!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def SEM-56 (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.2.

In the first week, I built an Archer’s Hut (total 45), a secondary Necropolis, and a Gnomish Mine at level 15. I managed to get a secondary Tower with a Sneak Attack, but Shakti comes to the Necropolis secondary via the rough terrain, takes the Consulate, which I can only dream of. Valeska is in the Castle by 1.1.7.

In the second week, I buy everyone except the Coppers, 2 markets helped with this. I set up at the entrance to the Dungeon for the Necropolis secondary. Roma is in the Defense in the Necropolis secondary, where he completed construction, hoping that Roman won’t buy a Stronghold. I split 35 Archers, attack. Although I lost 1 stack of Archers to 2 Angels, the second stack of Archers kills 3 Manticores, and I defend against an attack of 100+ Trolls. Then I shoot down the rest.

Thanks to Roma for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valenska, Valenska) def SEM-56 (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.2.2. There was a game where I didn't have a single money-generating building, so I couldn't buy troops on day 121 and build a stronghold in the secondary town... I took a risk and got a consultant on day 117, nothing else noteworthy happened. Thanks, Pasha, for the game.

Magneto (red, Barbarian, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Oelm (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 146.
On the Barbarian respawn, not a single external dwelling, but 3 Griffin Conservatories, 4 beehives, also took 1 Naga Bank and 2 Dwarf Cottages. Total shook out 28 ducks and 7 angels, lost 1 duck somewhere. On day 145, I hit ГО with over 100 liches, which killed 20 wolves and birds for me:( , and capture the blue capital. There is a Stronghold, 3 unupgraded Vivi's, I upgrade them - total 30 Monarch ducks, as well as 7 angels, 16 Thunderbirds, 6 Polar Bears, 53 Dire Wolves, 11 Ogre Magi. We decided not to continue further.
Thanks for the game.

After the offer to finish the game, the opponent, seeing that continuing was hopeless:smile15: Thank you for the game!

bRitvo4kA (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Moner) def Gr1zL1 (red, Swamp, Bron, Bron), Balanse, 133


Confirmed! Thanks for the game.

bRitvo4kA (blue, Castle, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Gr1zL1 (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 2SM4d(3), 132

On turn 132, I break through with a Grand Order of Manticores, losing some Orcs, Goblins, and a portion of my Vivs, and capture the opponent's Castle with unreleased growth.
Thank you for the game!

Magneto (red, Barbarian, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Oelm (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 146.

I didn't think Magneto would be writing a report about SUCH a game, but oh well. The game was decided by two disastrous blunders. The first was when I forgot to bring the gremlins into the army, decided not to waste a day, and lost all the gnolls and 9 lizards. The second was when I attacked a stack of 2 wyvern monarchs guarding a dwarven treasury + 2 piles of resources + cyclopes — there were 16 of them, and my lizards weren't upgraded. So they poisoned me and took out all my basilisks and left 4 cows. Because of that, I only got a second consulate on day 131, went into the opponent's territory (when I should have gone to the treasure zone), saw a taken hive and a consulate there, and turned back to the treasure zone. Then we postponed the game. The next day, the opponent declares that he is 99% sure I am a cheater. I'm a bit shocked. Frankly, I have no desire to continue the game, especially considering that he started hinting at it practically from day one and even sent saves to a third player for review. I suggest he prepare facts that would indicate my cheating. So the next day I heard: 1). That I revealed his scout on the second day (pure bluff). 2). That I asked him for auto (no comments). 3). That there were 2 disconnects (and with that, damn it, I was foolish enough to sit down and play). 4). Long turns (go fly a kite, my dear sir).

After the map was revealed, I was surprised at the opponent's surprisingly weak play. He got a mega deal with 3 consulates and 4 hives on respawn + log + gloves — a noob's dream. He built a capitol without capturing a single secondary town, and still gained an army advantage.

Naturally, with a native secondary town, he shouldn't have lost, but unfortunately I didn't have the right mindset, so the blunders decided it. Nevertheless, considering Magneto's skill level, I give it a 10-15% chance that he could have headed into the underground treasure zone from the Inferno side, which would have given me good chances to win, with the right moves, of course GG.

After seeing the map, I was surprised by the surprisingly weak play of my opponent, who...

Not long ago, Forrest said the right thing: "Whoever lost definitely played worse." I think that applies here too.

I didn't think Magneto would write a report about SUCH a game......

It's unpleasant to read such reports. Pasha often says that you need to show fewer emotions. But he does the opposite himself. It's a pity that a combination of circumstances can ruin the character of the game...:smile05:

I warned Oelm that I didn't want to make a fuss, but he's forcing me to do it. I deleted the logs... those who need to can read them... Of course, this isn't everything; a lot of it was happening in the game itself. For example, there were complaints that it was time to go and fight the Wyvern Monarchs, that it was time to take a city (this was in the first week), and also a statement that "I would have killed those Liches a long time ago and come to you if I hadn't messed up" (this was at the beginning of the second week, and the Liches were more than 100 gold worth of Liches - GO). There was an episode when I crashed during Oelm's turn. By that time, more than 10 minutes had passed since his turn, because there was a message "Magneto is active," and it appears exactly 10 minutes later, I had already calculated that. Oelm said he would finish and load, and he continued for another 10 minutes... honestly, there are no major complaints here. Anything can happen on the other end, maybe someone came to visit, or his mother called... The person doesn't think it's necessary to explain, and I hint at it. His reaction is that he starts to justify himself and shows irritation. Let everyone draw their own conclusions... Then there was another disconnect, there was a game restart, in which I didn't refuse. And finally, the most interesting thing: Day 132 ended for me, I passed the turn. About 15 seconds later, he crashed, we loaded... It took a long time to load, but we did. In the game, I had a pretty good scouting position - not far from the GO, but so that my opponent couldn't see it. I had been watching his capital and our adjacent respawn point for a long time, which was across the wilderness from me. And on day 132, I had already infiltrated him, gathering easy loot, and I see that my opponent is preparing to attack this respawn point. And right after loading, he sends a message in the game: "So, you can see me from your scouting position, right?", after which Tazar confidently goes into the darkness for a full turn and, stopping near the Nagabank, exclaims "Oh, finally" and goes to rob the Nagabank. After that, I didn't pay much attention to my opponent's comments. We didn't finish the game because he ran out of money for internet, and we ended on day 146. The save and screenshots with the heroes are attached... I leave the decision regarding the result of this game to the moderators, if they want to deal with this mess:o ...

1st I played not just poorly, but abysmally, which, however, has no bearing on the assessment of my opponent's play. As for the comments themselves, I read them, nothing to add, really, except that I went to the Naga Bank not as Tazar, but as a scout hero, into the darkness, of course, but along the way. And as Tazar, I took the Naga Bank the day after breaking it. Yes, there are also minor inconsistencies, but nothing critical.
2nd, the first report is a confirmation of defeat, although if desired, it could have been continued a bit longer.

2Sam, well, you speak correctly, but I have never encountered such insolence; perhaps his next opponents will draw certain conclusions for themselves.

P.S. I don't see a big problem here with breaking GO on the swamp on 127-132. Another matter is that with good play, the Barbarian could have broken it himself on 125-126, if not earlier.

What's there to figure out? The report has been published, right? Yes, it has. Is there confirmation? Yes, there is. The report will be counted. Whether you decide to play against each other in the future is up to you.

Magneto (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Ferz 17 (blue, Dungeon, Days, Days), 2sm4d(3), 223. I'll be brief. A minimalist Utopia, a dragon stash, and a secondary town taken late. Many Hives near treasure locations and respawn points, but all small, with around 25% having 4 units, 60% having 6 units, and 15% having 8 units. None of them are fully stocked. There's a catastrophic shortage of money. I saw Kirr wandering around a treasure location that I had already cleared with a scout, so I ambushed him there. I never got to fight Days, and the blue kingdom surrendered. Thanks for the game.
