Javdet (Castle, Turis, Turis) def TaKotoraya (Swamp, Bron, Alkin) Jebus Cross 137

No bows, a shame but oh well, by the end of the week it's so-so - angels in the castle without bows, 2 cons scouted, a couple of hives, an untaken external dwelling of angels, 2 Dragon Utopias, Turis is only level 3, but with earth.
By the end of the 2nd, I rush to the center ignoring the same Dragon Utopia, it wasn't convenient, I hit titans, lost an angel, but immediately after them wings and a pandora for ALL magic, then the Dragon Utopia, angel grade; got caught in the village by Alkin, but there was no attack (though later I saw - nothing good awaited the swamp even with full buy-outs, Armageddon and then restoration of angels)...
By the end of the 3rd, the finale.

Thanks for the game.

It happened :(

I played the first week, as can be seen later from saves, not bad - well, compared to the opponent... 1 external dwelling of gnolls, 4 external dwellings of same-type creatures, 1 - hydra (on the last step). Father - Alkin, though only level 6. I lacked money throughout the game - as if it weren't Jebus....
2nd week - 3 clues, a cap +6 to all, library, pandoras for 5k experience, 10k experience, 30 gold flies. And another 10k experience was eaten by a scavenger :( (I hoped there would be money).

On 131 I go to the center (could have been earlier - but that +6 to all helmet was just too tempting). More clues there, pandora for 20 gold dendroids. I see the edge of the Dragon Utopia - and a blue scavenger is already there.. I'm slightly short of reaching it - I retreat to the nearest pandora. There's experience... I take a couple more artifacts, a hive... At home there are oh so many armies - but no money, nothing to buy them out with. They catch up, they kill :) Everything is simple.:o

The main problem - throughout the WHOLE game I forgot to turn off quick combat... because of this I lost an immeasurable amount of troops :( And as for magic, unlike the opponent, it was somehow poor...:smile16:

Thanks for the game!

P.S. Finally realized that I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE SECOND HALF OF THE GAME (which involves searching for the opponent, parallel clearing of treasure, calculating the opponent's strength and fighting them). In this regard, I am looking for a teacher ;)

Kash (red, Inferno, Pyre, Pyre) draw SpiriTT (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d2, 145

After all the resets, the first thing that made me happy was having a ballista, since the 2 times before that it wasn't there. 1 path in ГО, but when I saw the respawn, my eyes were overwhelmed. I don't remember that much free stuff. In short, I just went with the flow the whole game...
On the first map, good things: devils in the Citadel and Armor given. Bad things: 3rd level Pyre
On the second map: native secondary skills of a town type, like 3 or 4 external dwellings of gogs in different corners, a friendly gathering of artifacts and money in back alleys, Earth magic. A 127 loser popped up in the Swamp, robbed the blue player of 2 mills)
On the third map: 3 angels and 24 Wyverns, a lot of stupidity (going back for the Golden Bow, which was stupidly unnoticed, etc.), so the actual march to the opponent was delayed by a week
On 145, I lurked not far from ГО with 11 sultan djinns, 6 devils, and 3 angels. 111 gogs and the rest on the way
Then I started having internet troubles, and after a dozen attempts to connect, we agreed on a draw. The opponent categorically refused victory, although 10 angels and the rest of the swamp crew could have given me a serious beating..

After all the restarts, the first thing that made me happy was having a ballista, because twice before that it wasn't there. 1 road to GO, but when I saw the respawn — my eyes popped out. I don't remember this much free stuff. In short, the whole game I just went with the flow...
On the first map: the good stuff — devils in the Citadel and an Armor artifact. The bad stuff — Pyre at level 3
On the second: native secondary town-type skills, like 3 or 4 external dwellings of gogs in different corners, a friendly gathering of artifacts and gold in the back alleys, Earth magic. 127 loh went into the swamp, robbed the blue player of 2 mills)
On the third: 3 angels and 24 Wyverns, a lot of stupidity (going back for the Golden Bow, stupidly missed, etc.), so my march to the opponent was actually delayed by a week
At 145 I lurked not far from GO with 11 sultans, 6 devils, and 3 angels. 111 gogs and the rest on the way

Something's up with me and Tyoma, we keep playing to draws :)

Yeah, that's exactly it. On the 1st — hydras in the Fort, obtained by swapping resources at the market, barbarian village. Spotted 3 Griffin Conservatories — 2 for Trog, the last one for 3-4 angels. On the second I checked them all with lohs — and they're all tier 3 — considering the loss of a lot of meat I postponed it to the 3rd. Spotted a Pandora's Box behind liches, speed artifacts behind them too, Sword of Hellfire. On the 3rd I took the conservatories for 9 angels, found and took another one — at the barbarian respawn, I walked 2 days to it, and it's tier 1(( Took the Ball of Lightning and the speed artifacts. Turned the box into experience. Went to GO and stood there. Well, that's basically where we ended it. From me I'll say — Vitya quite possibly would have won this game, because we reached GO on the same day, and he was reaching me. But in the end we settled on a draw.
Thanks for the game, the conversation, and the experience — it was interesting.
PS draws don't scare me, what I don't like more is that I've been starting every game in a row with all the restarts...

They chose all the rematches, and the last time the opponent was unlucky; it seems he lost on a block and refused the offered additional rematch. :( Thanks to KostyaN for the game! :)

vitalic (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def DubrovinPoll (blue, Rampart, Kir, Kir) 2SM4D(2) 211
I got lucky with the built-up archers, took a spearman stack, and on day 112, I broke through to the secondary resource. However, a unicorn block prevented me from advancing, so I redeployed my cavalry and took a different route. It led to a Guardian resource, and I encountered ranged units everywhere. By the end of the week, I captured a forest village and built cavalry with a Castle. On day 121, I took the minimum possible mine, then the minimum possible wood resource, cleared a path upwards, and on the next turn, I attacked the opponent's resource collector from there. This completely disrupted my plans. Valeska took a dwarven mine, got destroyed, captured all the troops, and remained without reinforcements. Only later, with my scout revealing the situation, I realized it was all for nothing; Kir was gone, and no attack would follow. On day 125, I took a Naga bank with a tier 3 building, having 4 vipers, 1 angel, 22 archers, and 25 spearmen – the morale of the nagas did a good job. Throughout the game, I kept mixing up the days; I was used to playing as blue and was always a day late, not taking resource nodes on time. However, I managed to get a good number of angels and built dwellings on the third level. Logistics were given around level 15, treasures were poor; even without searching for a path through the swamp, I wandered around, and the air scouting showed the presence of artifacts – but they were all useless. On day 147, Kir sets up near the Guardian resource; I was quite far away, but luckily, I managed to attack, although he didn't reach the Castle. I put on the shackles and attacked without hesitation. In the first round, I didn't use mass acceleration, deciding to wait, and it paid off. The opponent had a Golden Bow, and my archers (over a hundred in the stack) died without firing a shot. The opponent fortified the elves (and all his troops had extremely high morale and +5 luck). But my stack of 15 angels held out and crushed everyone.

Thank you for the game

Thanks for the game.

It was a good game.

No stashes, and Cons doesn't have any on his side either. The only good thing is the Black Market.

In the first week, I took the secondary Tower on the Quicksand map; the other path led to the Graveyard. I made my way through the rough terrain to Vitalic's grassy secondary. I sent Loshk there.

In the second week, I took the Boots of Speed, and then, through another rough terrain, Vitalic's Castle secondary. I later lost it.

In the third week, on Vitalic's grassy secondary, I took Cons's level 2 creature and went to the Underground Treasury. There was nothing there except 10 Ducks.

In the fourth week, I took the Great Booty and Cons's level 3 creature on the Quicksand map, and the Rider's Gloves. In the Inferno Treasury, I took the level 2 Utopia (Wings and Black Orb). I rushed to the main base, hoping that Vitalic wouldn't be able to break through and transfer troops in 4 minutes, but he managed to do it. I flew over the Graveyard, but didn't attack him in the Castle.

On the next turn, Vitalic attacked me. 15 Angels decided the outcome.

Thanks for the game!

Yes, that's the thing; the artifacts were +5 to Morale, but the Archers never lost any Morale...

LeBron (red, Tower, Neela) def NumOne (blue, Stronghold, Gunnar) 133 2sm4d2
Piquedram came 2 times, on the third we went, on the first day I bought Monere and Fiona, which noticeably increased scouting speed, decided to level Monere to maintain at least some tempo on slow roads
111 Monere runs along the road to Terra Incognita, Neela clears the off-road for a +2+2 sword and mage resources
112 Monere runs into a GO and runs along another road. The army slowly moves towards him
113 Neela explores the off-road north, which turned out to be quite rich in resources, Monere runs into a guard of a respawn — a stack of Gargoyles and a stack of Orcs, it's clear, we'll farm at our own respawn for now
114 Scout heroes led by Fiona find a rich south with lots of money, check the Griffin Conservatory — it's a level 1, meaning we'll take it on 121 with a scout
115-116 farming the south, Neela breaks through the guard to a neighboring respawn with acceptable losses and gets Air magic — in your face, noobs!
117 Nagas appeared in the Citadel, but Neela at the Crypt doesn't quite reach the secondary Conflux
121 Scouts take the Griffin Conservatory and one of them heads with an Angel to conquer a neighboring respawn in the underground, a Treasure Zone is immediately found there, the plan is simple — we go there
122-127 conquering the Treasure Zone (which turned out to be completely empty), I was already about to leave but was saved by Fiona with an expert scout who found a teleport that should lead to one of the opponent's secondaries
132 I take the fully upgraded ramp of the blue player, buy a scout hero there, put him on Pegasi and send him along the road
Next turn, Cielek kills Fiona (but she manages to escape!) and gets bought back on 131, immediately revealing the Griffin Conservatory near the ramp (I love her for that :))
133 Neela takes the Griffin Conservatory on 3 and FF with Gunnar who has 4 Angels and a full ramp army. Mass Haste and stats decided it.
Thank you for the game!

Yes, it's been a while since we had such a setup - hiding spots, money, artifacts, excellent Kairie leveling, lots of roads...
But unfortunately, the opponent disappeared somewhere...
Thank you for the game.

LeBron (red, Tower, Neela) def. NumOne (blue, Stronghold, Gurney) 133 2sm4d2
Confirmed.
His starting base was nothing special, but there were two paths to the grass nearby. The first (zombies) fell easily – I sent a scout there, and the second (12 mages) was defeated with heavy losses, costing the mages 3 morale, and I left with 2 harpies. No rest stops, I'm playing as is.
Next, I took the ramp, and after transferring troops to the other flank, I took the swamp village. In general, Gurney and his retinue split up, with some operating on the ramp's secondary path, while Septienna tries to gather skeletons in the swamp. But necromancy wasn't available, so there were few skeletons, but there was money. I built the ramp. I destroyed 3 conscripts there, 1 – a minor one, and 2 on level 3-4.
On turn 131, I first take a minor one, then another on level 3. Not bad. I move towards the third. Here, very close by, Neela appears from the teleport and takes my hard-built ramp. Well, I think, never mind, I'll take a conscript now, and then we'll see who wins, but the cunning opponent sends Fiona, who guards this conscript, and Neela takes it herself on the next turn. Now everything is bad. I decide to rush to the teleport from which LeBron arrived. At this time, a minor conscript and Gundula with 1 angel and 40 griffin riders appear at the swamp base, ready to tear apart the gnomes and other goodies, but Neela still reaches Gurney with the last square, and having more mass haste and a larger army, she defeats me without problems. There was no money for a bribe.

Thank you for the game.
