twaryna (Inferno, Deleb) defeated Alex_NV (Orcs, Tilsek) 1-3-7

The game went as follows: Deleb played confidently, with a good pace and without losses, and had excellent upgrades (machines, logistics, attack, darkness, education). The opponent, however, seemed to have some problems, and the game ended with a surrender.

Thank you for the game!

The game went well: Deleb played confidently, with a good pace and without losses, the upgrade was excellent (machines, logistics, attack, darkness, education). The opponent, however, didn't seem to be having a good game, and it ended with a surrender.

Thanks for the game!
Everything is correct, it's just 1-3-7!!! Yes, the game didn't go well, I lost while trying to break through the center :(
p.s. The upgrade was the same as the opponent's.

Moskovskiy_1 (Necropolis, Orson) defeated Xodyn (Stronghold, Krag) 2-3-2

The game was evenly matched. In the 3rd week, I broke through both centers and headed towards the one with roads. In the 4th week, I found a city zone and captured an Orcish settlement that was supplying me with meat. At that time, I spotted Krag, who was rampaging around my center. I traded for mercury (which was scarce), bought "Unclean Word" in the shop, and was about to attack Krag, but he had already fled... From the city zone, I found a sand treasure and decided not to go there yet. In the 5th week, I cleared the treasure with grass (I took 4-5 flooded temples and one Utopian) + I collected some artifacts. In general, in the 5th week, I was level 30 and had 7 draconian artifacts. The cloak I needed was in the sand treasure, where Krag suddenly appeared with a very small army; he must have lost a lot along the way. In general, I brought my army and decided to scare him away from my draconian artifact so that he wouldn't accidentally take it, but he didn't seem to be planning to; he was only killing weak neutrals, and when he saw Orson, he completely fled. After I took the cloak, I went back, where my chain had already been broken by a strong cockroach of my opponent. In 3 turns, I reached the portal to my zone, scaring away all the cockroaches. At the same time, Krag was heading there from another direction. Seeing how weak Krag's army was, I didn't wait for either the caravan from the Orcish city or the dragons from the collection; I brought an army from the city, took a promotion, and attacked. During the battle, seeing that there was no chance, my opponent surrendered. Thank you for the game.

Orson, level 30 - 14 - 28 - 40 (in battle, but it was only 50) - 23 - 1 - 3
3 Necromancy - Necromantic - Eternal Slavery
3 Defense - Fight to the Last - Evasion - Stone Skin
3 Magic - Magic Aptitude - Both rewards
3 Darkness - Three Lords
3 Sorcery - Secret Knowledge - Secret Advantage
3 Logistics - Forced March - Path of War

Army: 905, 479, 136, 145, 41, 24, 15

Krag, level 19 - 28 - 27 - 24 - 18 - 4 - 3
Army: 328, 92, 122, 10, 40, 10, 9

Thank you for the game!

Moskovskiy_1(Necropolis, Orson) defeated Xodyn(Stronghold, Krag) 2-3-2

I confirm. I didn't delve too deeply into the generator system, so I just play wherever I end up.))

The start was more than successful; everything went smoothly...
Logistics on the first day, attack 3, defense 3. I took Darkness and Summoning spells, strength against magic, but it had no effect:smile35:. The artifacts were useless, and I lost a significant portion of my army. There was also plenty of time for the Necropolis.

In general, my advice is - don't let the Necropolis get going; attack them as quickly as possible:smile31:

Krag is level 29.

Spells used in the game!:smile15:

twaryna (Red, Orcs, Crag + Arga) defeated dwp (Blue, League, Irana + Irbet) 1-4-6

Everything went like clockwork. At the start of week 4, I spotted my opponent and rushed to find their Castle — I made it just in time; according to dwp, he was a little short of buying the Dark spells for Irbet (couldn't catch Lethos). Along the way, I also luckily snatched 13 Hydras, and the finale became a formality. Crag went into Chaos, Arga into Anti-Magic and BDP. Thanks for the game!

twaryna (Red, Orcs, Krag + Argat) defeated dwp (Blue, League, Ianna + Irbet) 1-4-6

Everything went smoothly. At the start of week 4, I spotted my opponent and went looking for his castle; I arrived just in time – according to dwp, he was just a bit short of buying the dark spells for Irbet (didn't manage to catch Letos). Along the way, I also luckily took out 13 hydras, and the final fight was a formality. Krag went for A-Haos, Argat for Anti-Darkness and BDP. Thanks for the game!

I didn't have a clear plan for the game; I was already 50% lost.
Basically, it was obvious I needed a dark magic hero, but Letos simply wasn't there,
and that apparently put me into a coma. Immediately went for Ianna and Kirfa.
I started leveling Ianna, still hoping to catch Letos; I didn't know he wasn't there at all – he betrayed his own :).
Ire wasn't offered darkness at all; I grabbed Summoning, basically without thinking about what I was doing, and they started giving all sorts of junk; the hero instantly turned into garbage.
And I realized too late that mourning Letos was pointless. I started leveling Irbet
only on week 3, but she got incredibly lucky – in five days
I caught everything at once! BDP, Sympathy, and became an Expert in Darkness – just a joke,
considering that in the previous four games I was given exclusively junk.
Only a little remained. To break through the ГО and buy Darkness for Irbet – luckily, there were plenty of mercury. Just as it was the day of the assault on ГО, a horde of orcs popped up in the central zone three moves away from the castle. Well, after that, the countdown was a matter of minutes. Ianna broke through the ГО (mines + elements + traps) –
that took two days. Krag was in front of the castle along with a gang of thugs. Irbet didn't manage to buy anything, and Ianna went to surrender.
In short, I wasted two weeks searching for Letos for nothing and lost even my theoretical chances.
Thanks for the game.

twaryna (Dwarves, Gnomes) defeated Lutii (Dungeon, Letos) 2-2-3

As always, the start wasn't very dynamic for the Dwarves, but gradually things started to improve. From the 3rd week, they began to gain momentum with spears, bears, and jarls (before that, there were some losses). At the same time, I encountered a log and failed to defend the Boots of the Traveler. I retreated to the light - the tower gave me only junk. I had to gather the necessary spells on the map. Fortunately, I quickly found regeneration and resurrection and started looking for an opponent. Starting from the end of the 4th week, the Dwarves simply went wild. Everything was being fought. In general, I soon found Letos, who didn't manage to escape in time and was defeated. Thanks for the game!

twaryna (Dungeon, Fortress) defeated Lutii (Dungeon, Sylvan) 2-2-3

As always, the start wasn't very dynamic for the Dungeon faction, but it gradually picked up. From the 3rd week, it started to gain momentum with spears, bears, and jarls (before that, there were some losses). At the same time, I encountered a log and failed to obtain the Boots of the Traveler. I moved towards the light - the tower gave me only junk. I had to gather the necessary spells on the map.

I confirm! I noticed the Dungeon player approaching the portal where Letos was, but as it turned out, he had the Boots of the Traveler, and I didn't have enough turns to escape, and I hadn't learned the portal spell for the castle yet.
Thanks for the game!

Alex_R (red, humans, Rutger) lost to moz (blue, orcs, Arghat) 2-1-2 Crazy Arghat... He grabbed the machines and it all went downhill. On day 127, he was level 23 - he retreated home behind the portal and with a scarecrow, and in the middle of the 3rd week, he started methodically clearing out the portals from the center (he had wisely opened the 2nd center and sent in a cockroach). Somewhere in the beginning of the 4th week, he found the enemy's industrial zone, killed the cockroach there - he didn't rush to the enemy because he couldn't attack the city yet, and it would have been a pain to find Rutger. He went to the treasury - defended a couple of logs for experience and relics, and as soon as the 5th week started, he rushed to the enemy. Here, things started to go well - Rutger positioned himself in the sandy zone, probably didn't see me. Rutger is level 23, I'm level 30. He has 22 knights, 110 archers, 35 griffins, and I have a full bag except for geese. Thanks for the game.

dmitrik (red, elves, Gilraen) defeated maksar (blue, mages, Nura) at the beginning of the seventh week.

It was a long game, with many battles. For the first month, with simultaneous turns, we played for as long as 6 hours.

My opponent started quite actively, but didn't get any spells, and from the fourth week, it seems his game started to falter, losses began, and the pace slowed down. My game wasn't great either; for the first five weeks, I didn't have regeneration or resurrection (neither in the treasure rooms nor in the shops), so I wasn't particularly eager to rush into the Treasury. In the sixth week, I finally got resurrection and immediately a portal for the blades, straight to the Treasury and to my opponent. I took the castle without any problems; 10 dragons and 240 heavily armored blades cut everyone down.

Thank you for the game.

Thank you for the game.

I confirm. By the fifth week, I got a little lost (it's hard without a log), and seeing that I was starting to fall behind, I started going where I shouldn't have, which is why I suffered losses. I also didn't get any spells. From the Darkness and Summoning buildings in the castle, I only had a Berserker.
Thank you for the game.

immortal (Red, Elves, Gilraen) defeated maksar (Blue, Elves, Talarnar) 2_1_5
I got lucky with the heroes – on the first week, Anwen and Gila arrived, and on the second, Ossir. The starting zone was completely empty, so I left it on the 4th day and moved to the adjacent zone. I was severely lacking wood; I only found one small pile in the adjacent zone, so I even missed one day of building on the first week. On the second week, I had to fight my way through greased pits to get to the resource zone because I saw wood there, and I was desperately short. As a result, I lost almost all my sprites and a good number of dancers. But I did manage to get some wood. My opponent also made some bad choices this week and lost almost his entire army. The third week was a plague week, and as a result, I was left with 20 elves, 13 sprites, 40 dancers, 2 logs, and 1 druid. My opponent had it even worse; he was practically without an army, probably because he also ran into resource problems... I leveled up to around level 21 there, built my guild up to level 5, destroyed the city, and headed to the center through the adjacent zone. There, I found a zone with a native secondary resource, went there, captured it, then returned to the center, decided to look for a treasure, and then, with the resource income from two cities, go through the Grand Order, but the second zone I captured turned out to be an adjacent zone belonging to my opponent. I found him there, with an army much weaker than mine. I attacked, and the opponent bought his way back home. Thanks to the Silent Hunter skill, I immediately found his main city – the passage to the industrial zone was "straightforward," and I headed there. At that point, my opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

Alex_R (red, Humans, Rutger) lost to moz (blue, Orcs, Arghat) 2-1-2
Rutger got caught in the desert zone, apparently he didn't see me...
Thanks for the game.
Yes, that happened.
I barely played Humans, so even though I got lucky with the Grand General, it was hard to level up. I managed to get a Dark creature on level 3 and leveled it up to expert by the end of the first week, but what's the point if the building is blocked for two weeks, and I couldn't get any machines... In short, I lost my entire army in the first week due to a lack of defense and experience playing as Haven. In the second week, I fought well and had decent defense, but my troops also dwindled to nothing. As a result, I started the third week with high-level stacks and, to avoid wasting time, I took 25 Incas, 1 Paladin, and some smaller units and went to earn a lot of money for training... I gathered some money, trained a bit, and finally decided to level up and get strong artifacts. I even planned a route to the Grand General so that I wouldn't lose sight of him for 2-3 days from the capital. YEAH, RIGHT ((( I ended up running into Arghat with a "fully loaded" army, and even if I had 50+ upgraded Incas, 12-15 Paladins, and 5 Angels, I still wouldn't have had a chance. Weak stats and weak artifacts. 20+ Isabel's Knights couldn't even kill one Cyclops...
I had a Berserker and a lot of mass Dark spells, but it remained untapped potential, especially since my opponent had fully upgraded anti-magic. Also, "native lands" couldn't manifest in the desert, which would have made it more interesting:
A head-to-head fight with equal stats and a slight advantage in attack stacks + Berserker could have decided the outcome, but that's it... Arghat

dmitrik (red, Dwarves, Ibba) defeated immortal (blue, Humans, Rutger) at the start of week 7.

The start wasn't particularly fast; I didn't get any vehicles right away, and I didn't even plan on using a log. My starting zone was surprisingly good: the "Krakow sausage" :smile11:, two dwellings, a Guild of Outcasts, and a second adjacent town in just 4 full days from the castle. Things got even better. The adjacent and resource town were on sand, which is tough for Dwarves without a log. But! In the first week, I found a regeneration artifact, and everything became easier.

In the third week, I moved to the center; I liked it. I took several Dragon artifacts and a bow. Then I got lucky and immediately found the Treasury, although it wasn't very interesting. But in the Temple, I finally got Resurrection and Claw. I headed back home and then went to my opponent. It took a while, a whole week, but I made it. The final battle was in the field.

I think it was a one-sided victory, which is a bit strange. After all, he had over 120 Incubi, and Rutger's stats weren't inferior; he was even a level higher. But the Dwarf had all the runes, all the best mass spells from the Light school, and better artifacts (Archer's Dream, Claw, Initiative +30). Also, at the beginning of the battle, the Humans' morale wasn't very high, and Rutger was feeling the pressure. In general, if Rutger had mass evasion or at least mass cleansing, it would have been much more difficult.

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.
I confirm. I got lucky at the start – Rutger appeared, but that's where the luck ended... The exits to adjacent areas were at opposite ends of the starting area. At the end of the first week, I found an exit where the guards were easier to deal with, but as it turned out, it wasn't the right one :( It was a huge area, and I spent almost the entire second week there. At the beginning of the third week, I was ready to move to the resource area, but blue archers blocked the passage, and I, unfortunately, sent Vit with griffons to level up in another adjacent area. As a result, the third week was wasted, and I barely managed to gather enough money for angels and train 20 monks. Since I didn't have enough resources, I decided to go to the resource area first, even though I saw my opponent moving around in one of the centers. I leveled up to level 20 and became an Expert in Light magic, then rushed back home for reinforcements. At the beginning of the fifth week, I jumped directly into the treasure area from an adjacent area, took the Utopia artifact, which didn't give me anything useful except the Lion Crown. Luckily, I also found a resurrection spell there. I found another Rune Armor in the treasure area and bought a +10 initiative ring and a Rune Axe in the store. There was nothing else useful there, and I ran out of mana, so I teleported back home. In the sixth week, I went to another center where dmitrik hadn't been; there was nothing useful there either. I only found another +10 initiative ring and assembled a Knight set. I still couldn't find evasion, and I also couldn't get Righteous Fury. As a result, I couldn't counter my opponent's artifacts – he had mass evasion, and his harpooners and Archer's Blade wiped out my entire army :( Thanks for the game
