Posts from Reports on online games and their confirmations (Autumn 2009 season).

wariator (red, Barbarian, Dessa) def Wraith (blue, Castle, Waleska, Tazar) 2smd4(3) 216. We played for 7-8 hours straight until morning without any breaks! Both of us had a good start and plenty of resources. From the beginning, I focused on speed, and although fighting with Dessa is tough at first, I wasn't wrong! I managed to clear two Treasure Rooms, one of which was right next to my opponent. There, I found an Air Elemental, the Orator's Hat, a Pandora Box, and a couple of Hydras! Everything was surprisingly close together! However, the guards were tough! At first, I rushed in, but I had to retreat and train on weaker neutral creatures. In the end, I cleared the Treasure Room closest to me, but it was less rewarding. As a result, I developed my stats to 21 35 34 19 and immediately launched an attack on the Castle! I have to say, it was very well-timed! I managed to kill 5 Archdevils, 8 Warhorses, 40 Griffins, 46 Crusaders, and over 100 Pikemen on his home turf! If he had joined forces, I don't know how it would have ended for me! But that's what I was counting on – speed! In the next turn, I attacked Tazar with 23 20 10 10, two Phoenixes, 46 Hydras, and 13 Archdevils! In the final stage, I made some terrible mistakes, probably because the game was long and complex. But it was nice to see that it wasn't just difficult to defeat Tazar because of his defense; Dessa also put up a good defense! In general, we had a great battle, and in the end, Dessa turned out to be the better mage! Thanks for the game! It was great!

As soon as I saw the magic power of 23, I rushed to the Hydras and Treasure Rooms, but I didn't find either a Cloak or an Orb. Antimagic could have helped, and the army was quite strong. Also, the Angel Castles were catching up, but there was resurrection -> GG

AYMAN (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Emperor Constantine (blue, castle, Turis, Turis) 2smd4(3), 213

On turn 211, I break through with a GO of 58, grezh.nag, and visit my opponent, having all earth magic and a troop advantage. Constantine decides not to
continue.
Thank you for the game !!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, I need to practice more)).

Slav4eG (red swamp Wist) def Van (blue dungeon Shakti) 131 2sm4d(3)
What happened - I missed breaking the main hero home, went to the opponent's respawn, chased noobs, took a secondary mine, basically wasted time doing nonsense - thinking I had cut off the opponent's main hero from his homeland, while he was calmly hanging out near his capital, and the opponent had a favorable layout, a native secondary mine and about 5 secret stashes including Vivi :eek:
Thank you for the game.

SEM_56 (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Volland (blue, Hive, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 223!!!
We both got a second town, and started farming resources. The opponent came to my capital on day 136, cutting off my growth and killing some of my troops. Gurnisson went to the treasure, which turned out to be amazing, with a lot of hives, but he didn't take 7. We gave him all the land, etc. In the final battle, the opponent had no chance, thanks for the game...

SEM_56 (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Volland (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 223!!!
We took an auto on turn 2 and started farming. The opponent arrived at my capital on turn 136, cutting off my resource income and killing some of my troops. Gurnisson went into a treasure, which turned out to be amazing, with a lot of hives, but he didn't take level 7. We gave him all the land, etc. In the final battle, the opponent had no chance. Thanks for the game...

It was
Generated 2 treasures, one large one in the desert and a small one in which, besides shakt, nothing was found.
Thank you for the game.

Good distribution: hidden Behemoths and 2 hidden Rocs.

Thank you for the game!

Loi(blue,ramp,Ivor,Kyrre)def Kash(red,castle,Valeska,Mephala) 2smd4(3), 141

On the first week, there were gryphons in the castle, an external dwelling of pegasi, and secondary towns — Castle and Necropolis. On the second week and the beginning of the third — Griffin Conservatories (2+3+4). Scouts discovered on day 126 the Helm of the Fifth and the Golden Bow — quickly took that with a bunch of split-stacks, thankfully income was 3000+ and resources were rich — a speed boost on pegasi before the GO. Scouts from Pandora's Box also brought 50 more dwarves. Even with stables, barely made it in time... At the start of the fourth week, I rushed to the secondary town — blocked the entrance to the treasure zone, turned out to be the decisive choke :)
The red player thanked for the game.
Thanks for the game!

Loi(blue,ramp,Ivor,Kyrre)def Kash(red,castle,Valeska,Mephala) 2smd4(3), 141

First round of pegasi in the castle, external dwelling of pegasi, secondary heroes of Castle and Necropolis. On the second round and at the start of the third — Griffin Conservatories (2+3+4), scouts scouted on 126 the Helm of the Fifth and the Golden Bow — quickly took this with a bunch of splits, fortunately income 3000+ and rich resources — fast travel on pegasi before ГО, scouts from Pandora's Box brought another 50 dwarves. Even after the stables barely made it... at the start of the fourth I rushed to the secondary hero — blocked the entrance to the treasure zone, turned out to be the decisive bottleneck:)
Red thanked for the game.
Thanks for the game!

It was.
On the second I awkwardly took a third Griffin Conservatory, then somewhere else did something awkwardly...
Built Minotaurs in the castle with a portal and an external dwelling, and was ready to die in battle, but messed up the chains, and the army with Mephala ended up on opposite sides from Kyrre..

Thanks for the game

Wraith (blue, ramp, Kyrre, Mephala) defeated Kash (red, Castle, Valeska, Adelaida) in 2 turns, dealing 4 damage (3), with 136 points.

First, I took the Resource Town. Then, I was already thinking about restarting because I couldn't find a mine, but I found 2 of my heroes and a lot of Centaurs. So, I split the troops and quickly took 2 more Resource Towns and found a mine there. Then, I upgraded the Elves and, unfortunately, only got to Stronghold ((, in 1 week. Also, at the end of the week, I found a dwelling and the secondary town was mine, which was very nice, and at the beginning of the 2nd week, I already had ~50 gold. Further, due to my stupidity, I attacked with my 2nd hero against 100 Ogres and lost 2 Unicorns (I thought there would be fewer Ogres, they were guarding the Eagle Eye +15% and the Dandarii dwelling). After that, I took the Naga with some losses of troops, then I didn't have time to think and quickly transferred the troops and went with my main hero to the Dungeon, where I found the Golden Bow and the Teapot +6 to all stats, guarded by 100 Orcs and 50 Hellhounds, which ultimately decided the outcome. Further, the passage was blocked by 5-9 Archdevils guarding Pandora, so I went to the secondary town, where I finally bought the Book. There is a slowing tower, which is good (if it weren't there, I would have had to build them everywhere). Also, after this trip, I got Expert or Advanced Earth Magic, I don't remember exactly. The arrow hits for 100, with 80 mana, I can win any long battle, because I see Valeska in the tavern ~6 8 2 1, as it turned out later, even without a book. I have ~14 12 8 8 and a direct arrow. And just as I enter the Castle and move the troops from the portal, Valeska comes out (I was going to the treasure on the snow, and a chain was prepared in case of danger), Valeska doesn't reach the Castle and I return the forces (although the forces were 2 Unicorns and 20 Centaurs, and there were 50 gold in the Castle, if he had reached it, everything would have been decided then). Further, there was a very fun chase: he captured my main Castle, I ran to the abandoned Valeska with 1 Angel, and he didn't have enough money for a ransom, he ran away. I didn't reach my main Castle, as a result, he set up a Castle, sorry for the tautology (=, I, not daring to attack, went to capture the Unicorn dwelling. Further, a lot of chasing and mass killings of each other's weak heroes. As a result, both returned their Castles. Then, since there was nowhere else to go, Kash went to attack me, I attacked, mass slow, and minus his 20 gold and 50 mercenaries with my 25+25 gold. The rest wouldn't even have made it. GG
P.S. The map generation was very strange, which added a lot of interest.

Thank you for the game.

I confirm.
The respawn has medium blockage, but after same-side one-on-one exploration, Nella opens it up and the following become visible: external dwelling of Gremlins and Nagas, confluence, Medusa dwelling, Dwarf dwelling, gold bow behind Cyclops, passage to native second town, another external dwelling of Giants and a confluence (but very far away).
On the first week, Nagas in Stronghold, took flail +4 Atk., second town, Dwarf dwelling on 15.
On the second week, Naga external dwelling for 100+ gold, witches and max-confluence, there was no slow, so besides the devourer I also lost mages and 1 naga.
On the third week I got bored and started looking for the opponent, but the generator created it cleverly: ГО is not on the way, and a quick encounter is impossible. By the time I reached him, the opponent had already taken two Dragon Utopia.
Thanks for the game.

wariator (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar) def SEM_56 (red, Barbarian, Gurnisson) 2smd4(3),222 I’m in a hurry, so without numbers! On the first week, Gunnar got a Scholar with Necromancy! Decided to experiment! It turned out pretty well, and most importantly, it allowed me to gather skeletons quickly. Especially since, by chance, the Vampire’s Cloak was lying nearby! Again, on top of all that, the Boots of Speed were also near the castle! Of course, the Evil Eye hive also helped a lot! For a long time, I just ran around with Evil Eyes, a few Harpies, and skeletons! There was even a time on day 133 when, for some reason, I attacked the Berserkers and lost the Harpies! 21 Evil Eyes, 120 skeletons! After that, I decided not to rush and to beat all the small creatures in a row, gathering skeletons! On day 141, I assembled an army, namely 16 Minotaurs, 8 Scorpicores, about 70 Evil Eyes, still few skeletons (under 100), and I rushed into the tail of the treasure zone — there was a stable nearby! I entered there, killing everything I could; the skeletons grew very quickly, and Gunnar’s movement is good! In short, I ran into Efreet at the portal and saw that I could probably beat them and pass through! But caution, after the losses, prevailed! Because neither defense nor attack is good, and the Efreet Sultans would bite hard! But earlier, I had also seen another entrance to the treasure zone! I decided to break through there! I ran in and, on the last steps, ran into a scout from Gurnisson’s brigade and killed him along with his army! I didn’t reach the leader with the birds and wolves. Gurnisson ran off in some direction — who knows! I didn’t pursue because I didn’t know exactly where to go! I’m weak in attack and defense, and I only have 18 mana! I transferred the army and hit a level 2 Dragon Utopia next to which Gurnisson was standing! It gave me the Diplomat’s Hat! Immediately, I had a plan: to replenish by splitting at home, get mana, buy spells, and run to his castle with an explosion — much more fun now! So I did! I broke the passage upwards and ran to his castle! On the second turn, I reached it and took the castle without defense, but with unrecruited troops! Gurnisson, as I understood it, stayed in the treasure zone! With all the movements, it’s worth noting that I was also gathering skeletons quite well — there were already about 500 of them! I holed up in the castle, and then came the mistake: I left part of the army, flew over the mountains to get into another treasure zone — there were Dragon Utopias, Dragon Fly Hives, Pandora’s Boxes. I generously spent mana, and then — disaster — I don’t have enough for Jump and Fly! The detour is long and blocked; from the army, only skeletons remained, and I have no mana for battles! I have to lose skeletons bit by bit again! And then Gurni showed up near my own castle! Fortunately, I had captured a Mana Talisman (+3) a couple of turns before Gurni appeared and placed it! Gurni, not far from his own castle, replenished his mana! I move my army out of the castle with a scout and run to the mountains, closer to Gunnar! Gurnisson doesn’t go to his castle but dives into the underground and discovers my castle! Thanks to the talisman, I fly over the mountains, combine the army, and take a position in the castle to speed up! Gurnisson captures the Dungeon and digs in there! I jump to the underground, dive in, and attack Gurni in the castle! I immediately hit with Chain Lightning! And since Roman’s army, thanks to my earlier successful trip, is small, two Chain Lightnings of almost 1000 damage each decided almost everything! Unusual thing: his Berserker didn’t work on me! Some kind of glitch, but in this case, I would have had enough meat to hit with Chain Lightning another 5-7 times! Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game:smile27:

Volland (red, Castle, Valeska) def Javdet (blue, Barbarians, Tyraxor), 8mm6,132
Both got unlucky with generation, I had a very long road (didn't pick up a single secondary skill all game), also low on gold, but there were 2 Griffin Conservatories for 1st and 2nd angels and a Dragon Utopia, my opponent had little gold (didn't seem to have 8 heroes all game). My opponent couldn't handle the lack of funds and surrendered at the bank
Thank you for the game
