Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def cyb (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.3.

Didn't take any rests.

In the first week, he took the secondary Conflux, where Consul was revealed in the first turn from the Castle, and secured a good Treasury on Normal terrain. He took 3 Gnoll Huts. Vivas and Gorgons in the Castle. He was a little disappointed with his opponent's secondary, which was expected to be a Crossbowman Hut, revealed with the native Scouting, but he accepted it.

In the second week, he got a +3 Shield, and for 7 Death Knights +6 Shield. Secondary Rampart, near-maximum Medusa Hut. +1 to Speed, in the Necropolis +4 Scythe. Hydras.

In the third week, he maxed out Consul on the Conflux rest, preparing to go to the Treasury, and decided to raid the secondary to gather Mana. Kirr appeared with a small army after 2 weeks. He attacked and won.

Thanks for the game!

My opponent's development didn't go well. Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. There were two Dragon Utopias on the respawn, but what good are they when only psychs spawned in the fort, and there wasn't even enough gold to buy them? Could've tortured myself a bit, of course, but is it necessary?
It's already 6:1 in head-to-head meetings :(

Thanks for the game!

An unpleasant moment, but wars that have been started need to be finished. I've accumulated several postponed games; it's time to admit my defeats.

Kluka (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) lose SEM-56 (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2sm4d(3), 122. Game date 13.04.09.

From my notes during the game:

117. I find one corner of my respawn... no, don't get any wrong ideas - it's also the corner of the map incidentally :)

My respawn occupied exactly the top half of the underground. That is, it occupied a rectangle of size 108x54. After weeks 1-5 in the Castle, there was 15K gold left, but no good pickups (only eyes-medusas), few money-generating buildings, and the only road goes from the Castle (center of the map) to the right edge and comes out right at the border with the opponent's main respawn. Never found the sawmill; the shortest path to it was 6-7 days of travel. Didn't find the GO either.

Thanks for the game!

Basically, you need to sleep at night :) instead of fighting :smile13:, it still turns out only like this: :smile35:

There was a game, a pity we didn't finish it, I had a somewhat better roll...
A secondary town on 116, unicorns in the Citadel, my opponent had only one path and that one was coming to visit me. Thanks for the game...
P.S. too bad we couldn't play a full game...

Captain (Red, Tower, Torosar, Torosar) def Gen (Blue, Barb, Gurnisson, Gurnisson), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.2.

On 113 I took the skull helmet in the wagon and vision revealed another 3 arts from the Cursed Armor set on two neighboring resps. Quickly zipped over and collected them; only one was guarded by a group of monsters, built level 5 magic (got Dimension Door).. anyway, I don't remember such a windfall being given as early as the 2nd week :)
Thanks for the game!

Captain (Red, Tower, Torosar, Torosar) def Gen (Blue, Barbarian, Gurnisson, Gurnisson), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.2.

Confirmed :) The bad start threw him off balance – he got locked in. He should have asked for Sacred Ground.
And I won't say anything about the cursed armor. It's too harsh in the beginning, after 3 weeks...

Hermit(red, Tower, Solmyr, Gundula) def SEM 56(blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 214

Again Roma was unlucky with the layout. It wasn't easy for me either, but I was luckier with gold and resources. When Gunyashi's level exceeded 10, I really felt that the troops go berserk in melee!.. I took the Dragon Utopia, and then killed Tazik in the castle.     Thanks for the game.

I took all the remaining resources, secured the area in front of the castle near the portal, and controlled the path to the secondary resource location, making it inaccessible...
The detour took 3 days, and in the end, I lost 2 weeks of game time, which significantly impacted the entire game. Vova, as always, maximized his resources from his starting area and the secondary location, taking everything he could!!
Thanks for the game....

bRitvo4kA (blue, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Gunnisson) def Дубровин Павел (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2SM4d(3), 136
Pasha used all rests. Then encounter on 116, Pasha takes a restart. Then I’m done. We started...
On the first week, a native secondary hero, 2 rings. I stupidly lose 1 Roc on wolves. By the end of the week, 1235 in both strongholds. On week 2, a secondary hero Castle. Then I break through to the adjacent captured native secondary hero, take a minimal hive there and a city without a fight. Next, I invade the opponent’s respawn and lay siege to Tazar sitting in the capital for about a week, constantly bringing reinforcements. I capture an external dwelling of Gorgons and a gnomery for 20, an exchange of spoons... Attacking the capital without magic would be suicide, and I can’t leave because there’s a Dragon Utopia on the opponent’s respawn, and there’s no logic
-I unfortunately lose Cyiel, thereby giving the opponent a new level and Mass Earth
-Tazar, having bought everything and realizing there’s no point in sitting in the castle, attacks.
-our heroes
Thanks to Pavel for an interesting game!
9:6 in head-to-head matches

bRitvo4kA (blue, Castle, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 2SM4d(3), 136

That's what happened.
In the first week, I took the Gorgon's Lair and the Castle's secondary town. I had a Gorgon and a Dryad in the Castle.

I understood that the path to my Castle's secondary town from Andrey's side was very close, but there were no reinforcements, as always.

From the beginning of the second week, I just sat in the Castle, hoping that Andrey wouldn't hold out and would attack. But time was working in his favor with 3 native Castles, and he understood that too. Out of desperation, I attacked and lost.

Thanks to Andrey for the game!

Captain (Red, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Gen (Blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar), 2sm4d(3), 141

On turn 111, I had a transformer and already 120 skeletons... and then it started :)
I found a passage to the grass area, gathered Necromancers, took 2 air elementals, and grabbed fairies from there to put in the transformer... I gathered 7 angels from the can, broke through 2 Guardian Towers, including 8 magic dragons, and took the opponent's castle.
Thanks for the game!

2nd game, 2nd loss. My morale is down three points after that.
But thanks to my opponent for the game.
P.S.: I want to believe that I'm not so hopeless. I really do...

SEM_56 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) lose Kash (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), 126
Victor skillfully found a way to my main base, took control of 3 angels and captured the capital; Shakti didn't make it home, even though that's what he was called...

Victor lost, refused auto-play, said he would write these memoirs (now he's going to do laundry), thanks for the games!!

SEM_56 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) lose Kash (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), 126

It happened.
Fun random layout. External dwellings of pokemons and griffins far away, basement with 20+ eyes and a grass secondary around the GO with 20+ orcs and 50+ goghs, slowest roads. But archers built, a hut with property at the doorstep, stables, and a Dragon Utopia on respawn, we play.
On first day 8 heroes almost immediately, all through the witch, total 1100 gold per day for free, I put horsies in the castle. Broke through to grass past orcs-goghs (Conflux), got scratched a bit but not badly, I also take 117 medusa-tier-1 and air elemental for Vale.
On second day I run to the basement, and there's an empty Dwarf Cottage nearby, the opponent's native secondary with tier-1s, and a lich with archers fights back heavily. Had to take the secondary, only 19 marksmen left, GG I think. But no, a Griffin Conservatory nearby, I peek - tier 3, I bought all and a spell book, doubled mana, another minus 12 marks and a horsie, but +3 angels. Accidentally reached the capital, also took it, only 3 marks left, but Roma surrenders. Anyway, came just in time, snatched a tasty Griffin Conservatory. Lucky.

It happened.
Poor respawn on resources, mages refused to spawn. The Conflux secondary didn't help, had to run to the rocks, first moral goghs, then golden golems finished me off. Ended sadly.

Thanks to Roman for the games!

It was, thank you for the game.

numOne (Red, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Gunnisson) def Blacpoint (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), 126

It was a quick and interesting game. Both got good draws, with Griffin Conservatories and enough gold. The opponent, having as many as 2 native secondary skills, decided he had enough marksmen and came from the secondary road, across rough terrain, to kill me... By that time, I had managed to uncover 2 Griffin Conservatories on 2 and 3, and a mini Dragon Fly Hive, and stood in the enemy's path like a wall!:smile10:
Valeska came up, sniffed around, listened, looked closely, 2 angels scratched their heads in bewilderment, and she eventually decided to attack. After I had positioned myself comfortably on the tactics screen and was ready to charge at the frail archers with my entire horde, Valeska finally realized that she wouldn't get anything worthwhile here and decided to throw in the white flag without a fight.

With this kind of setup, I wouldn't have rushed in Blacpoint's place. Time was playing right into his hands. But the game is already over...
Thanks!
