Posts from "War by the Rules" - reports and logs

:eek:

I confirm sir_moz's report.

I only managed to level up my Grog to level 20.

The opponent's army had almost 90 Vampires; it would have been difficult to do anything against that.

Thanks for the game!

Arrow (Dwarves) lost to DWP (Elves) in week 6. They quickly calculated a good strategy and immediately focused on developing the Tower, gaining regeneration through the Roach creature. DWP got the regeneration on the second turn, and the trees started appearing. Initially, there weren't many trees, and they only started raiding archers on the third week. But as soon as DWP got the trees, with five of them, they started destroying everything. Around the end of the fourth week, they found a Treasure City. There, they easily took the Utopia without any losses, repelled two Dwarf artillery stacks, and moved to a neighboring city, where they started building a level 5 Tower for the portal. They returned to the Treasure City to continue repelling everything. Everything was falling, even what I considered "unfavorable" armies for me, like 200 Furies and 300 Rocs, considering that I only had five trees and 65 Blue Archers. Nearby, they saw a Fort, bought all the buildings (there were only upgrades for Blue Archers and Dryads), and upgraded them within a week. In the end, they managed to gather an army to attack the Dwarf, but it was unsuccessful. They used the portal but ended up in the wrong city, and as a result, the Dwarf arrived at their base earlier. They barely managed to teleport to their home Castle. The game was already dragging on, and it was around five in the morning. Even without setting up the "Cursed" spell, they attacked the Dwarf in the field. If they had the "Cursed" spell, the Dwarves would have fallen easily. But as it was, the Dwarf stacks were slowly being defeated, even with the "Battlefield Protection" spell. However, the fire protection, plus two Dwarf artillery stacks and the Horns of Valhalla, prevented the Dwarf from overwhelming them with chaos. Unfortunately, I didn't record the final battle. In the final battle, the Dwarf had level 21, while DWP had level 28. Light, Logistics, Luck, Defense, and Education were all maxed out. Thanks for the game

Kolobokk (mage, Hafiz, blue) defeated Lok (elf, Elfina, red) 2-2-2. Hafiz played really well – there were some issues with the logic, but they didn't get a chance to exploit it. I found a few secondary units from the Gremlins and managed to buy a week's worth of Gremlins, so the game was going really well. However, Lok didn't give up either – he bought a week's worth of Horned Beasts. He just ran into the treasury, and right then, the elf arrived at the castle. I had to leave the lucrative spots. True, I couldn't manage to win with 380 Gremlins, 50 Golems, and 25 Mages that I was running around with – I got distracted. That's why the final battle was with a far from complete army. Thanks for the game.

Hafiz is tough – there were some bad luck moments, but the logic didn't quite work out. I found a few secondary Gremlins and managed to buy a week with them, so the game was going well. But Lok wasn’t far behind; he bought a week with horns)). He just ran into the treasury, and then an elf showed up at the Castle. I had to leave those good spots.
True, I couldn't manage to keep 380 Gremlins, 50 Golems, and 25 mages that I was running around with – I got distracted. That's why the final battle was with a not-so-full army.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm.
The setup couldn't have been better: I took two Dragon Utopias, all camps had my troops, and I bought another 18 Druids and 4 horses during the game.
But Hafiz was fully prepared. There was no point in dragging things out with Hafiz, so on the second day of the second month, I broke through the Gate and rushed to the mage, cutting off part of the troops from the Castle. Well, after that it was simple: Berserkers against everyone one by one. No Anti-Magic.
Saved during the game.

twaryna (red, Vaishan + Letos league) defeated Raykkonen (blue, Sinitar league) - week 5.

The game was tense, but in the end I won relatively easily. I kept taking losses the whole way; both heroes were leveling up awkwardly (everything kept going into attack). I even stupidly lost Nuru in the second battle:) Then I managed to pick up Orus, and she cleared the adjacent sandy area. By week 3, I barely broke into the resource zone. There I lost half my army, but captured all the mines, the staff, and the Dwarven Greaves. Midweek, I recalled back home with Letos, learned all Chaos magic from the guild, grabbed a max-level Dragon Utopia with a decent set of artifacts along the way, and transferred the Chaos to Vaishan. Finally, with proper Chaos, everything fell without issues. By the end of week 4, the simultaneous turns ended, and I spotted Raykkonen in ГО. I recalled home and rushed over. In ГО, Vaishan reaches Sinitar, who is almost out of troops. He deploys single Fury units, casts Chain Lightning, and instead of casting Armageddon and finishing it, I also cast Chain Lightning — one Fury survives, and Raykkonen buys back:) A turn later, the final battle happened at the blue player's respawn. Thanks for the game.

Will, people, Vitya, def, SmertiPo, magic, narcissism, week 3
something wasn't working out for his opponent at all, so he surrendered in week 3.

"Something wasn't working out" - that's putting it mildly :).

I confirm Twaryna’s report.

WisTrit (Vengrael Elf) - lost to Lok1978 (Ingvar Dwarves) - won. There's not much to tell; the opponent surrendered. Thank you for the game.

Confirmed, I messed up on a massive scale.

immortal (red, mages, Nura) defeated WisTrit (blue, dwarves, Svea), start of the 3rd week
The start was probably the most successful for the mage - Hafiz and Nura. I leveled up both simultaneously, but Nura was still the main one. The opponent also had a good start - Ingvar arrived, but he decided to level up Svea. As a result, he miscalculated his strength and lost while clearing the portal... Thanks for the game.

I confirm, and I also made a big mistake by eliminating the pikemen. I chased after an attack, and in the end, I didn't achieve anything substantial. :smile17:

Smerti_PO (blue, Horde, Goshak, Hagesh) def Alex_R (red, Dwarves, Ibba, Inga)226 216х216
I had a choice of heroes - but decided to level up Inga. If you don't count the fact that I wasn't given log - she started off quite well, though slightly weaker than Karli and Ingvar in previous times. But the ending was a disaster. Firstly, I couldn't find any decent artifacts, secondly, I just couldn't decide what to level up - all sorts of nonsense kept popping up... I started raiding mage treasuries hoping to find Armageddon and Subjugation and then switch Luck or machines to Dark Magic - but I didn't make it in time; I had to flee my own respawn because I only had 60 mana and just Stopping Cold without perks or artifacts.
In the end, I found neither Dragon Utopia nor any decent artifacts; I saw the mentor - but he was far away, and on top of that, I couldn't find the town, so time ran out and the finale never happened...:(
The build turned out pretty crappy

I don't understand why the tournament table shows 2 + 2 = 2 for me.

Smerti_PO (blue, Orcs, Goshak, Haghesh) def Alex_R (red, Dwarves, Ibba, Inga)226 216x216
I had a choice of heroes, but I decided to level up Inga. If we don't take into account the fact that I didn't get a log, she started quite well, although a little weaker than the Dwarves and Ingvar in previous games. But the ending was a failure. Firstly, I couldn't find any decent artifacts; secondly, I couldn't decide what to level up – all sorts of useless things kept appearing... I started raiding the treasure rooms of mages, hoping to find Armageddon and Subjugation, and then re-specialize into Luck or Machines into Dark Magic, but I didn't have time. I had to run away from my starting location because of only 60 mana and only Slow without any perks or artifacts.
In the end, I didn't find any Utopia or decent artifacts. I saw a mentor, but he was far away, and I couldn't find a town either. As a result, time ran out, and the final battle didn't take place...:(
The leveling was not very good.

At level 12, I got Machines as a fifth basic skill, and it took off. On the fifth week, I passed the Gate of the Underworld on auto-pilot and swapped Logu for OS :). When I didn't meet anyone in the castle, I was afraid that I would have to run around catching Inga, and after the Gate of the Underworld, I became quite the runner. But luckily, it worked out :D.
Thank you for the game.

Will the Hagesh orcs defeat Barma, the Nazir mage, in week 5? He stormed the Nazir in the castle, but it turned out he had switched to dark magic, but didn't have time to cast many spells. Thanks for the game.
