Gomunguls (Red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) def. Hermit (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2smd4(3), 1.2.1

We took all the restarts; the last generation was decent, both for me and for my opponent... In the beginning of the 2nd week, the opponent lost his army...

Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. I overestimated my chances in the gnomish matchup. The gnomes were morale-boosting. :(

Thanks for the game.

122 everything chained through 5 heroes back home, thankfully pick up a Medusa on the way, buy the defeated Kyrre (considering his Expert Earth) had to buy a tome instead of an army, I trash 9 Unicorns and a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns.
123 on the way to the Griffins' nest I knock down chests to buy more Elves.
124 losing 1 Horse (Mass Slow), I earn +3 Angels

In the first week, I captured my secondary town, and on day 122, I scouted a path to the enemy's castle, at which point the opponent surrendered, stating that they had lost in a previous game.
Thank you for the game.

131 I dispel the protection of the Dragon Utopia and the wyvern, but I can't reach them, and on the same day the blue player surrendered(((
Thanks for the game.

Shakti fought against the shooters almost the entire time, and you can't level up much from them. On day 117, Shakti is level 3))). Since the second week, I've been seeing Kyrre with scouting and was horrified. When Kyrre appeared in the treasure zone, I surrendered.
Thanks for the game and the experience.

Blacpoint (blue, Rampart, Kuree) defeated Gomunguls (red, Castle, Valeska) 143 2sm4d(3)
After all the opponent's reinforcements and my first one arrived, the game began. The path to the opponent turned out to be difficult, but 20-49 archmages still blocked the way. Therefore, I took a secondary Stronghold town, ran back and forth, and found 2 conscripts. I had plenty of money, but there was a shortage of crystals and gems, so I had to trade everything on two markets. As a result, I built stables in the Stronghold and a Stronghold with human units. On day 121, a specialist in dwarves appeared(((( I barely managed to buy anything, and on day 123, I tried to get a level 3 conscript without a grade stack. There were few centaurs, only 46. First, I attacked with a zealot, cast a couple of lightning spells on the lower-left stack, and retreated. Then, I attacked with Kuree. The army consisted of 5 units, 40 centaurs, 17 grand griffons, and 6 dryads. Magic power was 1, mana for 4 blessings, no slow. The centaurs were quickly defeated, and we reached the elves. When there were 3 unique units and 15 elves left, blocked by two packs of 17 griffons each, I thought I was going to lose, but then the unique units blinded the first pack and then the second very successfully. I came out with 7 grand griffons, 1 horse, and 3 angels)). I didn't go to the opponent. I went to the snow, and took 2 more level 1 conscripts. Then came tactical battles, and my secondary Stronghold town changed hands many times. In the end, when I had 5 horses, 10 pegasi, 4 dryads, and 1 week's worth of unbought units in my main town, and I had horses in the secondary town, plus I found another level 1 conscript on the snow, the opponent only had 1-2 level 1 units in two secondary towns. On the next turn, I would have taken his capital, since there was nothing to defend it with, and the opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game.

Wlk777 (blue, Castle, Valerka, Valerka) def Hermit (red, Tower, Solmir, Solmir) 2Smd4(3) 126
The game started well – on the middle paths, I built a stable in front of the castle and placed an angel ambush near 50-99 mummies. While I'm not venturing there yet, I'm pushing towards the secondary swamp, leveling up Valerka and earning money. I planned to build a portal in the capital on day 117. I was a bit short (4 sulfur and about 3-4 thousand gold). It's a shame, I missed out on the horses, but I only have wyverns in the secondary swamp. However, I managed to take the portal on day 117, sacrificing all my troops except the marksmen (all 26 survived). During the game, I realized that the Guardian of Order wasn't on the road. At the beginning of the second week, I build a maxed-out Hive. Enemy scouts appeared in the swamp secondary. I made a mistake that almost cost me the game – I transferred all my troops except the angels to a hero, and Desser and her hero, with 7 mages, 80+ gremlins, and 4 nagas with a Combat Spell of 1, killed all 16 wyverns and marksmen. All that remained was Valerka with 2 angels. They were attacked by Nella and Solmir with the remaining troops, trying to defeat them with magic, but it was useless. The opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

Paladin@heroes.by (blue, Stronghold, Greg, Greg) def Pit for LM (red, Tower, Neela, Ivor), 2sm4d(3),215
Terrible game for both me and Pit.
On day 1: 3 chests + prison + 2 chests under simple guard + logistics to the boss
112 6 heroes, but the respawn ended))) had to go to the secondary - Conflux
By the end of the week, I found 2 Dendroid Gardens and took the growth of Earth Elementals and Fire Elementals, home Roc without Citadel))) Fire Elementals in secondaries
122+8 Dendroids
123-126 entered an empty Treasury +6 Dendroids, 2 Crypts, and decided to split up and head home, but for the full experience, 14 Dendroids+14 Orcs+6 Rocs+11 Fire Elementals+Butterflies went to the LIBRARY, and there were 93 Grand Crusaders with Morale, and I with -Morale got thrashed, but 1 Dendroid still managed to escape ))). I should have surrendered here, but I turned out to be stubborn. :smile13:
127 with 1 Dendroid (NO more army, I even built a Castle at home just to have something to fight with on day three) camp near 30 Gold Golems (guarding the Wyvern Nest)
131 take out the Golems with Grand Wolves effortlessly and +6 Dendroids, but on the same day Ivor broke the GO and rushed towards my capital.
132 noobs take the max Medusa (desperately need money, but the Medusas went crazy, freezing everyone) -4 Rocs -1 Dendroid and all the Wolves)))
133 barely suppressed a scouting force, spent another -1 Dendroid and -2 last Rocs, the Barbarian army went idle. The boss decided to return to the first Treasury (can't see any others) and explore the second half, but found nothing joyful, +4 Dendroids and a Nag Bank
134 I wanted to attack 30 Bulls, but ended up attacking 7 Arch Devils that were guarding a nearby library (those Knowledge Vaults, I tell you), long story short, got +4 Dendroids for the cows and losses of 2 on Arch Devils + all sorts of rabble from Conflux
135-136 finally convinced that the Treasury is dead and returned to Conflux (which had miraculously survived so far; Ivor decided not to press further but to loot his 2 Dragon Utopias)
141 found (sought diligently) an exit to the second Treasury, and there's also a Stable there)))
142-143 aimless wandering
144 mini Dragon Utopia for +2OL, and over 20 Grand Champions with Peppers and an Experience Pandora.
146 broke out of the Treasury and took a Swamp secondary (an undeveloped enemy secondary), meanwhile losing my Conflux.
147 scouting revealed overview and clearly identified a Sandy Treasury (just right for Pathfinding, but no Earth Magic and there won't be any), I build Dendroids to somehow strengthen my army
211 in the Treasury for 70 Troglodytes get the Helm of the Fifth)))
212 Pandora +25 Swordsmen, I'm planning to capture the capital or a Titan secondary, but Ivor is hanging around nearby, the noobs lead him closer to my last Swamp Rampart.
213 +20 Grand Swordsmen+20 Grand Monks. Dimension Door over the mountain and refill Mana at the enemy's hometown - Titan's.
214 head into yet another Treasury +20 Grand Monks)))
215 +12 Shields +Angel growth (first Angel this game) +2 Movement Speed. And tired Pit surrenders
Thanks for the game.

After all the resource refreshers for my opponent and one for me, the game began. The path to the opponent's territory was through difficult terrain, and 20-49 archmages were still blocking the way. So, I took my secondary Stronghold army, ran back and forth, and found 2 outposts. I had plenty of gold, but crystals and gems were scarce, so I had to trade at two markets. As a result, I built stables in my Stronghold and a Stronghold with human troops. On day 121, I encountered a specialist in gnomes((((. I barely managed to buy anything, and on day 123, I attempted to capture a tier 3 outpost without a growth stack. I had few centaurs, only 46. First, I attacked with a zealot, cast a couple of lightning spells on the lower-left stack, and retreated. Then, I sent Kuree with only 5 units: 40 centaurs, 17 grand griffins, and 6 dryads. Magic power was 1, mana for 4 blessings, and no slow. The centaurs were quickly defeated, and we reached the elves. When there were 3 unique units and 15 elves left, blocked by two stacks of 17 griffins each, I thought I was going to lose, but then the unique units blinded the first stack and then the second very successfully. I emerged with 7 grand griffins, 1 horse, and 3 angels)). I didn't go to my opponent. Instead, I went to the snow area and captured two tier 1 outposts. Then came tactical battles, and my secondary Stronghold army changed hands many times. In the end, when I had 5 horses, 10 pegasi, 4 dryads, and 1 unpurchased weekly growth in my main city, and I had horses in my secondary city, plus I captured another outpost in the snow, my opponent only had 1-2 tier 1 units growing in his two secondary cities. On the next turn, I would have taken his capital, as he had nothing to defend it with, and the opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game.

That's right! After all the resource refreshers, I got a very bad map, but I had to play. The road was blocked, so I went around... I developed my hero well in the game (level 16), but I was unlucky with magic; earth and water were only advanced(((((((((... But we still had a great battle!!!)))) Thank you for the game!!!:)

Kash (red, Castle, Valeska, Nella) def PREDATOR_RUSSIAN (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2smd4(3), 217

Confirmed. Lots of emotions.

LeBron (blue, Necropolis, Gosha) def AYMAN (red, Dungeon, Shakti) 124 2cm4d3
Started in a basement with 2 stacks, heavily packed with ranged guards. Went one way, there was a group of wolves and a crowd of rays, turned around and went the other way, there was a group of Gogs and a crowd of Ice Golems, just great :)
On turn 121, I took Pandora and gained 10k experience.
On turns 122-123, I broke 2 conscripts 2+3.
On turn 124, I break the GO from rusty drakes on my side and a group of champions on the other side and kill Shakti, GG.
Thank you for the game!

~no1_knows_me~ (Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrie) def Lanser (Red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 2Smd4(3) 146

We started right away:

Week 1: Two native heroes arrived, but both without Elves :mad:, although there are enough Centaurs. Kyrie arrived — she becomes the main hero. On 113 a secondary necromancer, and by the end of the week various stacks of Dragon Flies and Wolves + 2 Crypts max and near-max left Kyrie with 13 Centaurs and 1 Elf. On 117, after taking 2 Horses, I claim an external dwelling of Pegasi for many Lizardmen. Kyrie is level 6, skills: Logistics/Archery and basic Earth. Home has 1-6 in the Citadel.
Week 2: I take Gloves for a flock of Grey Water Elementals, deliver the Pegasi from the external dwelling. On 122, I defeat many Magogs for a nearby Barbarian respawn, run along the path and run into Crag :eek: He has 2 Behemoths. I bring in decoys to sacrifice — I attack: Kyrie has 5 Unicorns, 20 Pegasi, and a few Centaurs VS Crag with 2 Behemoths and 2 Thunderbirds + Grey Troglodytes, Goblins, Wolves, Harpies. We fought for a long time, and Kyrie emerged from the battle with 4 Unicorns and a dozen Pegasi. I thought the opponent would surrender — but no — we continue playing. Secondary hero: Barbarian, Dwarf Cottage 15, 2 Trog Conservatories revealed, plenty of gold, but not enough Crystals for Dragons. On 127, I'm stationed at the Stables.
Week 3: For many Silver Pegasi, the Pandora's Box gave fifty Wolves. I deliver the army and go to the Conservatory. It's a level 3 one. I lose all the Wolves and a dozen Grand Elves. The next day, another level 3 Conservatory and a Naga Bank near the max. Scouting revealed on a neighboring respawn near the opponent 3:eek: Conservatories!!! But I decide to go to the Metro in the treasure zone for now. There I take a Necklace +3 Morale/Luck. Then I almost got wiped by 30 Cavaliers for a Necklace +3 Knowledge/Spell Power — they still killed 1 Angel of mine. The Pandora's Box gives 80 Troglodytes for a horde of Silver Pegasi and an Arena. Using a decoy, I clear near-max Crypts and a Medusa Den. Dragons have been built at home.
Week 4: I take a Pandora's Box from Grey Basilisks for 5k experience, replenish mana, and head for the Conservatories!!! First one is level 3, second is Mini, third is level 2, I took the Conflux. Doubled mana, transferred resources, and go to the opponent's Castle. FB. Victory. Thanks for the game.

SEM_56 (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Van (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2Smd4(3) 143
I played poorly...
We grabbed all the resources and they were randomly distributed, you wouldn't believe it...
Strong and fast blocks...
111-117 I hit 36 flies on the way to the secondary, losing 30 Centaurs. Then I attack a stack of mummies to level up archery, there turned out to be 27, minus all Centaurs and 3 Elves, the secondary is a Citadel 1-6 in the main Citadel, barely managed it...
121-127 I took 2 stacks of wolves, in the fight for gold and resource chests, I lose all Centaurs again. On 124 I go into the Dwarf Cottage with a 100 upgraded stack, I didn't have enough initiative to position correctly, I had to improvise, lost 4 wolves and 2 Grand Elves, left with 21 Grand Elves, but I have money, +2,000 in both castles, on 127 I attack a stack of snipers, killing the enemy's scout near my own gate. I should have waited until 131 and upgraded Unicorns, but no. I killed 44 snipers, they killed all Centaurs, Grand Elves, Pegasi, left with 5 Unicorns, I leveled up Tactics and Earth Magic, got Leadership...
131-137 in the Griffin Conservatory against 3 Angels, the Unicorns worked miracles, blinding 3 stacks of Griffins and withstanding twice, 14 Grand Elves finished off the feathered ones...
Then maxed the Griffin Conservatory, -1 Unicorn, min Naga dwelling...
141-143 I break through home, take a warrior's tomb, hit 15 creatures, got the Legion's Belt. Meanwhile, the enemy hits the Town Portal and captures my capital, killing all Pegasi and Dwarves. I attack the enemy in my castle the next turn and it's hopeless, 7 Angels and 11 Unicorns, plus backup with 84 wolves and 50 Goblins, they gave Shakti a beating, thanks for the game!!!
