Incredible luck
111 A whole 10 elves showed up (Ivor), scouted the entire respawn from the lookout - external dwelling of elves, 2 roads to secondary towns, one to GO (nagas), conservatory
112 On one road there are storm elementals, really don't want to fight, so we run down the other, especially since there's grass there, and we glimpsed the edge of a conservatory, the guard is not visible. We captured the external dwelling, nothing to buy with. Cloak +2 spell/knowledge
113 We have to take a detour for a crystal, also leveled up and +1 to spell
114 We broke through ogre hordes and pegasi onto the grass, and ran straight into a block of 20-49 vampires. A big thanks here for the auto, I wouldn't have asked for it myself, because I knew what I was getting into.. But Valera offered - I couldn't refuse))
They brought pegasi, I killed exactly 49 upgraded vampires for +2 to HP and a mill. Plus two conservatories. And a ring +1 attack/defense
115 Conservatories - a minimal one and one with 3-4 griffins, excellent. So 5+ angels will be there on the second month, after 2 naga banks we can hit GO. Crypt is small, secondary is flux, imps about 20
116 Checked the dwarven treasury - about a hundred, can't take it. Another small crypt, resources, didn't check the dwarven treasury - Kyrre can't be bothered, and the noobs line up in a chain. One only took the elves from the external dwelling, running to the mill near home. Blue flags appeared on the secondary
117 Kirya collects resources and camps near the stable, the noob takes another crypt, all small ones like clockwork. Horses in the citadel, 2 marketplaces. Remaining: 17 grand elves, 8 centaurs, 2 pegasi, 5 air elementals, and a couple of sprites. Shakti shows 1-4 angels and about a hundred troglodytes
121 From the stable and after buying a spell book, we take a minimal conservatory, using the marketplaces we buy horses, grand elves, and a guy with a bunch of centaurs. Shakti takes the unchecked dwarven treasury and stays out of reach, good)
122 Ivor grabs the dwarven treasury for 20, with that money we deliver wood, dwarves, pegasi (who knows, maybe max), and take the third level (sacrificing all the chaff), behind it +15 to shooting for grand elves, and we stop not far from Shakti. The blue noob on two flies takes the conflux and kills my scout. Shakti runs away from Kyrre and fights something there (+2 to speed)
123 We chase away the pesky flies with the angel, take back the conflux and attack Shakti

Kyrre level 12, 5-9-6-4(4), expert armor, primary earth, mana only for shield. 32 grand elves, 11 air elementals, 5 horses, 1+1+1 sprites, 4 angels

Shakti slightly smaller in troops and without a spell book, but +2 to speed, expert armor, expert tactics. 2 angels, 15 upgraded harpies, 1+1+1+1 troglodytes and about 190 troglodytes

Shakti deploys predictably against the grand elves, all speeds 8+...
Angels kill about 9, my angels kill one. The harpies for some reason block the air elementals (plotting some dirty trick), the grand elves retreat - positioning between the air elementals and the horses, a little mini-drama unfolds around the angels)) One small mistake by the blues (they removed the retaliation from the angels, but managed to plug the gap with a sprite, and the troglodyte stack only hits it) - no bloodbath. My horses charge from their position and kill a troglodyte, the air elementals add damage to the angel, the grand elves are covered by them and by the sprite in front.
On the second round, the blue angel kills the sprite, my angels finish it off and lock the grand elves in place permanently. Shakti decided to die with honor in battle

Thanks for the game

OUTLAW (red, Castle, Valeska, Alkin) def SpiriTT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2SM4d(3), 232
A crazy battle!!! An insane generation with only one trump card in the form of a Tome of Fire, which I was lucky enough to get...
Start with fast roads, in the tavern 2 native heroes and archers are built. On month 4, Alkin appeared in the tavern.
In a week, I spawned 7 heroes, painted Rampart, but was one step short of reaching the Conservatory, so I camped GG (Alkin) in front of it.
At home - horses with griffins in the citadel + external dwellings for swordsmen, griffins, and pikemen. The roads to my respawns are very long, and one of them to the last secondary hero was blocked by a pack of rocs for an artifact and 2 pillars.
GO - wyverns and efreet.
In the second week, I privatized the Conservatory, 2 nagas (level 3), and the end of the week in a treasure zone, where I managed to take a gold mine, a Pandora gave 20 pits, tree (6), shield +3/+3, sword +2, gloves, I fended off a Pendant of Lightning, found a Dragon Utopia.
Everything was pointing to angels being built at home, and there was enough gold, but the endless scout moves let me down and I didn't have time to trade several resources on the market to build the angels. In short, I didn't build them )))
Alkin levels up perfectly - to his native skills, he took Wisdom, Earth Magic, Tactics, Logistics.
Based on all the revealed geography, the opponent's capital was very close to GO, and with all the meat from external dwellings, 20 free pits, and Mass Slow, GO would have fallen easily, but it would have taken 3 days to run from the capital or a secondary hero to GO (((, so I decided to finish looting the treasure zone.
At the start of the 3rd, I took a Dragon Utopia (2) - gave a Cape of Speed, Helm +10, and the Tome of Fire. I don't see any clear arguments yet, so I regroup at the Conservatory and start into a grass treasure zone. There are a couple of hives and nothing tasty in sight yet...
At home, angels are built, griffin growth collected.
At the start of the 4th, I clear half of the grass treasure zone which is closer to my territories. On day 143, I see Shakti in front of GO, I prepare chains to regroup at the Conservatory and start into the 3rd treasure zone in the basement.
From the capital, I use bushes to bring out the remaining power stack. Finally, after 2 days of travel, on day 145 Shakti takes the capital, and meanwhile Alkin is diligently working in the treasure zone, which is quite rich in boxes and hives, but not a single Dragon Utopia (((
End of the week in this same treasure zone, already 40+ ducks, in the Conservatory I built Fire Elementals with a Citadel. A bloody scout war began.
At the start of the 5th, I clear the treasure zone, 54 ducks, Shakti did some looting on my territory and went home to pick up growth. I regroup with GG at the Conservatory and try to catch Artem.
On day 214, I am 2 steps short of Shakti, who is boosted on Thunderbirds (I didn't visit the stables (( ).
On his turn, he checks me for a power stack and Tactics exp, both are in order)), and Shakti runs to his capital.
In the last treasure zone, I saw outlines of another underground treasure zone, the entrance to which should have been on the Necropolis respawn of the blue player, and based on the timeline of events, it seemed Artem hadn't been there yet (or at least I really hoped so ))). I go there, paint Necropolis.
Several scout maneuvers and I start moving Alkin further, camping a few steps from the entrance to the target treasure zone. Meanwhile, the bloody scout massacre continues))
At this time, Shakti appears in the unfinished grass treasure zone. The treasure zone on the lava turned out to be the size of a computer screen, useful loot being +6 wyverns, which was insanely disappointing(((

I regroup at the Conservatory again and run to pick up artifacts for spell power (Cape +2/+2, Cuirass +6, Necklace +3/+3). Shakti appeared at the teleporter in the lava treasure zone, but seeing it was empty, he ran away.
I replenish mana and head towards the opponent's territory. On day 226, I camp on the border of our capitals, on day 227 I take the Dungeon.
More scout skirmishes, but the opponent's Stronghold is scouted within a day's travel from the Dungeon, where I camp Alkin on angels.
On day 231, I chain back to reclaim my Castle, Alkin with doubled mana starts towards Stronghold and takes it. The army consists of 3 angels, 12 champions, 60 wyverns, 28 rakshasas, 33 crusaders, 15 fanatics, and 90 archers.
I see Shakti (the miner) near my Stronghold on birds, I have enough movement, I attack and, having the right of first move, cast Armageddon, but Shakti's 10% resistance activated and 1 bird survived!!! Shakti escapes. Incredibly frustrating, as I burned a lot of my army for nothing...
I settle in Stronghold. On his turn, the blue player chains to reclaim his capital, where Shakti is recruited and attacks me in Stronghold.
What followed was an incredibly difficult battle, where in response to my Armageddon casts, Artem countered with very painful strikes from ancient behemoths. In the end, there were 20+ core minotaurs against my 20+ wyverns and 20+ rakshasas. Using Blindness, I managed to kill Shakti before he could retreat.
Thanks for a great battle!!!!!

Start at the top, in the tavern I got Bron with basilisks, right next to home there's a Dragon Utopia. Broke through to the grass, painted the Conservatory. On the native respawn, 2 Griffin Conservatories. Painted the external dwellings for demons and imps, there were also external dwellings for gogs and imps, but I didn't have time to paint them.
By the end of the week at home - pits and efreet with a citadel, Pyre with Advanced Earth Magic and Slow and Shield scrolls.
On day 121, I break through a gnoll hut, planning to scout the first Conservatory, but Roma's development didn't go well...
Thanks for the game!!

OUTLAW(красный,Кастл,Валеска,Алкин) def SpiriTT(синий,Данж,Шакти,Шакти),2SM4d(3),232

Yeah, it was hot as hell. In the first game, bears in castle =) (I started as dungeon) and I spotted the Dragon Utopia there right away. Around 135 I took it—1k. The only useful thing was the Titan's sword. Then I found the library—almost equalized all stats—I was ahead in attack; after the resist, I was sure that 50 Minotaurs and 11 Grey Dragons supported by meat would justify everything—there were essentially only 50 own same-type units and some scraps. But Armageddon decided it all. The second time, only the catapult resisted =) Respect to the opponent for the game and especially for the finale!!! The very beautifully used fire protection cast by energy creatures cost me the match
Thanks for the battle!

Gurnisson was struggling terribly this time, with no logs, no armor, no shooting, and no earth magic. He almost got to me once, and then Armageddon could have happened. What saved me was that my opponent had the same problem with his logs. Towards the end, I bought gloves and a cloak, which saved me from Armageddon.



Thanks to Ivan for the game!

Log cabin — ran fast, external dwelling of gnolls, devoured Griffin Conservatories — breakthrough through the adjacent zone of castle, blue gave up the game.
Thanks for the game.

I didn't have a single conservatory in my secondary or main territory
thanks for the game

It happened, the generation was insane. Reached the enemy's first town by Day 121, and kept running along the road the whole time, only cleared the tree by Day 131)))), it was in the very ... of my native spawn, neighboring spawns were two swamps, one snow field :eek: , but first a chaos hydra from a camp - that's what I lived on, draining my troops almost to zero, but there was a chance, Gurni came out with his secondary hero and ran into Moander who had Armageddon but no mana :smile39: , crashed, replenished, wanted to make a splash with phoenixes and fire elementals, but forgot to cast Haste and as a result fell 3 tiles short of Gurni, as a result he ran deep into his native spawns :( , and there it was just right to take him down, well, at the end the inevitable outcome, on Day 216 the opponent breaks the chain, I lose the ability to bring in the buyback, but even with it there was zero chance since Gurni had 20 :eek: bears against my 18 phoenixes which got first strike, where the wood came from I have no idea, I went to sleep.
Thank you for the game.

I have a native secondary hero, and 4 roads :) Valentin, having broken through the snow via off-road, tries to reach a rest for a meeting, but doesn't make it and capitulates.

Thanks.

numOne (blue, barb, Crag, Crag) def Wlk777 (red, Tower, Aine, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 117

Again I have a lot of gold, external dwellings of orcs and ogres, a mini Dwarf Cottage is taken, I rush to color my native secondary hero. On 116 I stand in front of a guard, on the other side Valeska appears and herself attacks the griffins trying to make a rest for a meeting, but can't handle them.
Valentin is out of luck today. :smile16:

numOne (red, swamp, Wistan, Wistan) def Wlk777 (blue, rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 117

I have a native secondary town, and 4 roads :) Valentin, having broken through the rough terrain to the snow, tries to reach for a retaliatory strike, but doesn't make it and surrenders.

Thank you.

It happened, but slightly differently - I have one road to the main town and an empty respawn point without hiding spots. From the overview, it's visible that my opponent has a native secondary town, no retaliatory strikes available. He went through the rough terrain across the snow, looking for a retaliatory strike (and could have easily set it up at 115), but decided to try a trick and risk it, unexpectedly capturing the opponent's capital at 117. However, firstly, he didn't reach it by a couple of squares, despite the speed boost and experience log. Secondly, the opponent saw my maneuvers and prepared for defense. Thank you for the game.

Kash (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def loi (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2SM4d(3), 123

That’s right, it happened. When I emerged on turn 116 onto the grass and ran into a broken crypt, I felt like I was on stage. My opponent on turn 122 showed 4 angels and had a total of 23 stats, and I realized that this wasn't my game. Respect and thanks to my opponent for a great game, they played well!

numOne (blue, Barbarian, Crag, Crag) def Wlk777 (red, Tower, Ain, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 117

That was a game. I played terribly :(

Javdet (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def SEM_56 (red, Castle, Valya, Valya) 2SM4d(3), 131

From 122 clearing the treasure zone, by 131 Shakti already had 5 angels. One was with Gundula for housekeeping and one in the home portal. The main one with decent stats planned to take 2 Dragon Utopias, but Roma decided not to continue.

Thanks for the game. Shakhter is the champion.

Javdet (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def SEM_56 (red, Castle, Valya, Valya) 2SM4d(3), 131

It was a decent match. We got the land, and Valya took 2 hives on maps 121 and 122. Then, I opened 2 treasures, and in one, I found a ring and immediately went to the other one, where there were horse knights. I took the treasure on map 127, defeating 60 grade stumps. Meanwhile, scouts were exploring the lands and found that there was no money, no buildings, and no chests. Knowing the opponent's agility and resourcefulness, I decided not to continue. Sorry, buddy, it didn't work out fully, thanks for the game...

bRitvo4kA (blue, Castle, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Van (red, Swamp, Wistan, Wistan), Panic, 141

Again, no log, but I defended the boots in the secondary battle.
After the battles with the Elves, a red rush followed; I offered a draw, but my opponent decided to surrender.

Thanks to Ivan for the game!
