Thank you for the game!

Confirmed...

numOne (red, Barbarian, Crag, Crag) def Wlk777 (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2SM4d(3), 136

On the first map, I took orc and cyclops dwellings, built houses 1-5 in the castle, and got +3 defense artifact. Crag has defense, tactics, and air skills, found a 2/2 sword, painted the Rampart, bought a book there, and found a 2-4 conservation area.
On the second map, +1000 in both castles, upgraded birds, built cyclops dwellings, bought out, went to the mud treasure, there: angel dwelling, 2 experience boxes (15k and 10k), university, another angel dwelling, Crag has everything he needs except for logistics :). Then, Shield +4 to all, 2 boxes, which gave all land and all air, but I don't have wisdom, alas.
On 134, I break into the capital, upgrade cyclops there, replenished mana along the way, took a +1 speed artifact, conservation area 3, and head to another underground treasure. Crag - 21 14 8 9. Expert land and air scouting allows me to monitor all blue movements. On 136, Valentin decides not to continue, citing a poor pace.

Thank you for the game.

It happened. At the beginning of the 3rd week, I got the Book of Air, but nothing else good. With 40 mana, it's a real struggle, and I have no money. Thanks for the game.

Slow pace, naturally, but I managed to scout both secondary locations on opposite sides of the map, totaling 5 throne locations. I was planning to start with 2 units, but I received news of a surrender.

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

We agreed to play without restarts. But still had to do one, Shakti came at lvl 10.

111 Val came with 4 archers, the second hero with 5, at least they were built, result 18 marks. But then I spot their Naga and Legion legs, things got more fun.

113 for 17 Iron Golems I take Boots of Speed, no money, no Crypts either.

117 1,2,4 in the Citadel, awful. Had no money at all, a couple of piles and 1 chest.

121 I bought everything, galloped to the stable to clear the neighboring Rampart respawn, there are 4 Crypts in 2 turns, 3 minis and 1 with 5 Vampires.

Mid-week the opponent's Lich appeared from the Underworld, we killed it successfully. A scout hero went down, saw the Castle and retreated, as another blue hero with strong army was nearby. Didn't send the main hero, had other plans.
I revealed the Griffin Conservatory. Shield +4. Captured the Rampart.

127 1-6 in the Castle, have gold to buy everything.
131 Bought all, ran through the Naga Bank and Griffin Conservatory (which turned out to be double) towards blue.

134 I take the capital.
137 I find the second Castle, and settle in it, build the Brotherhood of the Sword, have Expert Leadership, Angels, +2 morale won't hurt, Shakti is nearby. He didn't attack and left the game.

Thanks.

Thank you for the game!

Week 1 - low funds, placed dryads+pegasi+ruhi in the secondary+ another secondary - tower. Only 2 crypts near the tower on all resps ))
Week 2 I break through 2 wyvern nests, see the Dragon Utopia.
On week 3 the opponent surrendered due to losing troops on manticoras.
Thx for the game.

Confirmed.
And it all started so well! Valeska with three stacks, archers built, a hidden spot for archers. True, the respawn point is blocked by 17 core Minotaurs. But I broke through them, at the cost of gremlins and "pokemons." And on the second map, I forgot to buy Ivor a spellbook :( which became the reason for the loss. I went first to the liches, and then to 36 Cats with a group stack, I broke through, of course, but the losses... :mad: are incompatible with life.
Thank you for the game.

misantrop (red, castle, Valerka, Valerka) def. Ayvengo (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2SM4d(3), 137

There wasn't much money either. In the first week, I built 4 outposts, recruited some dwarves, cleared a path near the metro exit, and sent a scout (which revealed my position and made things easier for my opponent). I broke through to the secondary resource, what a nasty trick! - (10-19) unicorns are guarding the legion's main resource right on the road. No spellbook. I rushed back for reinforcements, but there wasn't enough money to build a proper defense. I built minotaurs, cleared the unicorns, captured a nearby outpost with horses, and took a castle. Meanwhile, my opponent captured my capital. I bought a spellbook in the castle, spotted a pandora, and decided to use my last chance. I cleared the mage guards, took the pandora - money! :) It was a lost cause. Valerka, meanwhile, captured a castle. She only has 80 archers. There's nothing to attack with. I had to surrender.
Thank you for the game.

A very interesting opponent for me. I really wanted to defeat him, even if only for the second time out of our 15 games. And I got Dungeon against Castle... And it was really intense, with hidden cats (I got one on the first turn), dragons (guarding 10-19 level cyclops), and devils (behind 50+ corgrips, but I didn't get to that). No rests. On the first turn, it was a struggle, and it was impossible to accumulate enough resources for cats, so I only had cats in the hidden spot and in the portal. I got lucky with artifacts, and by the beginning of the second turn, I had a 90-attack unit and a possible path to the opponent's side. Everything worked out as planned; they attacked me, but they lost. Thank you for the game.

Archers not built, slow roads but there are external dwellings of shooters and horses - I decide to play.

Week 1: poor gold respawn. Week result: 1,2,3,4 in Stronghold + external dwelling of horses and 5 heroes.

Week 2: not exactly new growth, but there's nothing to buy troops from external dwellings with. I take the dwarf dwelling, turned out to be a mini. And I move towards the info secondary. From the underground comes Shakti with a hundred Troglodytes and 7 Manticores and kills a scout hero with 10 Griffins on Tactics. When I saw that I thought it's a freebie, he'll be shot down - I gather more archers and attack on 123.
- that one kills my archers with an arrow on 90. Honestly, I didn't expect that. Too bad SoD 3.2 doesn't show the opponent's mana amount. I was hoping he didn't come with full mana. After that I had 60 Troglodytes left. And there's nothing to buy a hero with, since not even a market was built. And on the next turn they take the capital, which can no longer be taken back.

Thanks for the game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def AYMAN (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.1.

On the first week - Inferno and Dungeon secondary dwellings. On the Inferno respawn, 2 Cons were spotted; on the home territory, a Spear external dwelling and Dragon Utopia.

On the second week - I take 2 Hives at the Dungeon Respawn for 12 Vivs, get defeated in Inferno, take a Level-3 Con, then Mini, Air and Earth are not given, Log is not either. I take Naga-Bank on 4, then +1 to Speed, then by that moment I take the scouted Level-3 Con at the home Respawn, 2 Griffin external dwellings, and stop at the Dragon Utopia.

On the third week - I take a Level-3 Dragon Utopia (Sandals of Saints, Air Knowledge, junk), then Minimum Dragon Utopia also at the Home Respawn (Boots of Resistance), build Angels and Archangels, then on 1.4.1. reached Ayman via the general secondary dwellings and attacked. The Chainmail on 700 decided it.

Thanks to Ayman for the game!

Everything is correct.
In the first game, he broke through to the dirt (Necropolis) with a starting pack of Goblins and Valeska, and built houses 123456 in the Citadel.
In the second game, he had a Gnome, a Dryad on level 4, and then he went and took Pasha's secondary Dungeon building next to his. He also built a Castle.
Overall, he played at a slow pace and didn't even visit the Treasury. Of course, Pasha played a very strong game.

Thanks, Pasha, for the game and the experience!
