Twaryna (Mages, Ora) lost to Smerti_Po (Humans, Knight) 2-1-4.

Adv (Academies, Hafa, Red) defeated alex_nv (Inferno, Grok, Blue) 2-2-5
The game was very easy...

And then a message came that the opponent was surrendering... he leaked on the GO breakthrough... what a shame
Haf level 28 13-16-26-47
3 schools of magic - mirror
3 war machines - everything is standard here
3 light magic - righteous wrath, protective blessing
3 enlightenment - attraction + sorcerer's reward (random gift) + scholar
3 attack - tactics + archery + ranged combat
3 luck - nothing here... wanted to take deflection

Thanks to alex_nv for the game ;)

P.S. I support Leo, 8 minutes per turn I really considered a blessing :)

Leolopus (red, Orcs, Garuna) won against Twaryna (blue, dungeon, Letos), if I'm not mistaken, 1-4-7.
This game could easily be considered unfair, or rather, not the game itself, but the way it ended:eek: My opponent was developing Letos, I was playing as Garuna. In the beginning, on the 4th week, I attacked the portal guard, and after the battle ended, the turn-based mode was activated. I still had the opportunity to attack the guard on the other side, which I did, and ended up right in front of Letos. Knowing that my opponent would definitely try to trick me, I decided to attack myself and lose, but I didn't have time. On his turn, Twaryna attacks me, deploying all his units, but due to the -2 luck and morale for dark factions, my ballista with zero morale moves before everyone else, and 46 of my opponent's furies die. I retreat to my castle without any losses. My opponent then chases me and moves towards the castle. I go out to the field again, but the second battle doesn't bring me any joy; I lose about 40 trappers against two single hunters and retreat to the castle again. My opponent arrives at my starting castle, and his turn ends not far from the castle. I buy 6 packers, as I don't have enough money for anything else:eek:, and with about 300 trappers, 189 centaurs, and 6 flying giraffes, I go to my doom. For the battle, my opponent deploys 5 stacks of hunters, with 2 in each stack (BPD). I just run around the battlefield without any hope and with the thought of an imminent and unconditional defeat. And then, a collapse happens. My opponent has two stacks of hunters left, both already revealed. My centaurs and ballista move. The centaurs manage to eliminate only one of the two hunters (BPD), and the ballista eliminates the second to last stack of hunters. My opponent has 1 hunter left, who is supposed to move, and as a result, my opponent loses on this turn. But:eek: the hunter doesn't move, antimorale triggers, and he skips his turn. After that, Garuna sends him to his death:smile34:. That's the kind of thing that sometimes happens; be vigilant:) Thank you to my opponent for the game, I feel for him;)

Lok1978 (Mage of the Hive) defeated Gastelo (Dungeon of Letos).
Well, there's not much to write about. A standard-built Hive Mage has no chance against any Dungeon, regardless of its abilities (this is just my personal opinion).
On the 4th day, I found a Log. At the beginning of the second week, I found a Defense skill in a hut, and things started to roll. I ran around with the Log until the end of the 3rd week. I defeated almost everyone, and on the 20th day, I reached level 20. I stormed a Castle at the beginning of the 4th week. By that time, I had the following skills: Defense, Blessed, and the Log skill, along with Hunter and Master Chaos with Shock. The damage was approximately 1600. Then I ran to the nearest portal with strong guards. In the last days of the month, the game switched to turn-based mode, and Letos appeared with a squad of Hydras. The lack of Armageddon and Mana forced me to retreat to the Castle, take a bonus, and attack him.
Meanwhile, the Dungeon was messing around in the center under my supervision. Then there was a series of highly intellectual maneuvers, both on my side and on the Dungeon's side (apparently, the time of 5 a.m. was taking its toll). In the end, feeling my invulnerability, I put an end to it with 99 Alt Golems. The entire army remained in the Castle.
Hive: 9-10-28-32.
Gastelo, thank you for the game.

SmertiPO (red, Orcs, Garuna) won against Leolopus (blue, Mage, Hafiz) 2-2-1. In the first week of the second month, the Orc came to my starting town, but there was no way to reach the castle from the Gate of the Month in one full turn. I teleported to the town and prepared for the siege, but the opponent decided not to attack the castle, assuming it would be too much trouble for him. I, in turn, had no desire to play out that scenario. The next turn, I left the castle and attacked him myself, knowing that I had no chance in the field. The forces were not equal, but the Blood Mages drained the Orc, thanks for the game!)
