Babek (blue, Castle, Valya, Gurnison) def Volland
(red, Stronghold, Crag, Crag), 2sm4d(3), 123

On the first: Inferno secondary hero in it +1000, knight dwelling 1-6 at the Citadel.

On the second: at 122 I capture a Necro secondary hero in the metro.
A horde of monks blocks the entrance to the treasure zone... At 123 the
opponent arrives and attacks my noob with an army; I buy myself out
(10 knights gr. in Guni on the run) gathered all the army and
attacked the Necro secondary where Crag was sitting... The battle was won.

Thanks for the game.

My Tog was not bad, but there was no cons and the barbs can't handle the load3
Thank you for the game

The game was pointless. I gave him several auto-wins until he started losing again at 122.

Notable events: I acquired a +10% necro cloak and found a +5% amulet towards the end of the week. At 121, I had 250 skeletons.

Thanks for the game.

I wasn't playing well, I was making mistakes. I just lost because of 6 bulls and didn't even want to play anymore... I attacked a burrow of minors with 34 troglodytes and lost due to morale, failing to finish off 2 bulls... Ivan generously gave me an auto-win... (a separate thanks to him for that). I took the burrow, but that was it, I lost badly... And Gum Rest was also giving me a hard time. Also, the connection was bad; it took 20-30 seconds to transmit one turn. It was so annoying...:smile29: I wasn't in the mood. And that didn't take long to show...:D

Thanks for the time spent transmitting data, and of course, for the game.;)

After two weeks of gameplay, I managed to break through and attempted to take the blue player's Castle, which turned out to be a fatal mistake – I miscalculated my strength. Valeska's warriors fought heroically, but the enemy was enraged, and we had to retreat.
Thank you for the game!

Started swiftly, only 1 rest.

111 - Saw a niche of pit lords behind the mountain, bought a Tunar and immediately upgraded to Advanced Estate on a stone, then Grandan behind him.

112 - Took a necklace +1 speed for 10-19 stone golems.

Spent the whole week clearing my respawn, took a niche of imps, magogs, and pit lords.
1-6 in the citadel, Pyre ran around on Efreetis.

121 Upgraded efreetis and with 5 sultans broke through to the secondary conflux, there's a crypt with 5 vampires — lots of gold and resources.

122 Captured the second castle, used Grandan and the remaining force to break through 84 dogs, getting into the green treasure zone. There's a Griffin Conservatory, never found out which one.

123-125 Took a Pandora's Box for 10000 gold with 20 gr. liches on my home respawn. Could have built Devils, but didn't want to, built cages and a castle, upgraded all troops.

126 Crag Hack breaks through to me from the secondary and runs toward the castle, but doesn't make it. I suicide with Pyre and pass all the forces down the chain to the dame. With a noob I beat 3 heroes of the opponent.

127 I sit in the castle, Crag Hack approaches but doesn't attack.

131 I leave the castle and into battle, significant advantage in meat and victory.

Thanks for the game.

131 I leave the Castle and engage in battle, with a significant advantage in troops, and achieve victory.

Is this by any chance a rush strategy? :smile42:

misantrop (red, Inferno, Pyre, Pyre) def ~no1_knows_me~ (blue, barb, Crag, Crag) 2smd4(3), 131

First time playing against Inferno, didn't really bother to take any precautions, as I thought it was a noob town, but as it turned out with a good draw demons rule =)

Week 1: Dwarf Cottage on 15, necro secondary, orc hives, and dwellings 1-2-3-5-7 in the Citadel.

Week 2: upgraded birds and dogs, maxed expert defense and earth (though no griffin feather), and crawled to the reds. Demon speed +2 and meat advantage decided it.

Thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def. Kash (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(4), 1.3.2. In the first week, there were no secondary heroes available, except for the Gnomes, which I didn't take due to a lack of funds. Instead, I got 3 free Elves, one of which I successfully merged with a Necropolis hero. I had a secondary Castle hero and a 1-6 hero without the "2" skill in the Castle. I was stationed in a mini-Naga bank at the Castle. In the second week, I had a mini-Naga bank and managed to get a secondary Stronghold hero. I reached 20 gold. Viv blocked the path behind the artifact. Fortunately, I had Mass Slow. I took the Stronghold, then hired a Consultant for 3 Angels, another mini-Naga bank, and bought everyone out, upgrading them except for the Centaurs, Gnomes, and Dryads. The Treasury was very far away and involved a penalty, so I attacked a weak Garrison (up to 50 Death Knights). I could have gone directly to Vitya's main Castle on that turn, but I made a mistake in choosing the path (there was no map view) and went to the Dungeon. On the next turn, I took the Main Castle. I scouted and found that Valya had a decent army (3 Angels, a Dragon, 5 Champions, 40+ Archers, about 30 Elves, and the rest of the army) stationed in the Rampart near the Castle, and this was only in the 2nd week. Well, we'll wait... I wandered around the upgrade locations for a while with the intention of not missing Vitya's Main Castle, because Valya, as it turned out, was also close to her Main Castle. I scouted the Air element for Gargoyles but didn't see the +1 to Speed, on version 1.3.2. Valya attacks and bravely dies. Thanks to Vitya for the game!

(blue, Castle, Valya, Valya), 2sm4d(3), 133

I refuse to confirm anything at the moment!!! As they say, even a thief can be caught! I didn't start this topic; you brought it to the public!!!
I'll think about it when Babek himself writes a report and sends a link... And relatives can say whatever they want :D; I'll stick to my opinion....
At least out of politeness, write the nicknames correctly....

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Kash (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(4), 1.3.2.

It happened.
I messed up somewhere – I could have split up and met Kirr, but without angels, I didn't want to. And the consignment on 3-4 was somewhere in the back of the secondary base, I could only take it for 125. I split up into a rampart, cleared out a dragon lair there for show, and we both settled in – Kirr in my main base, and I in the secondary base with a consignment and elves with a lair, which I had been building for two weeks. Kirr didn't attack; she had plenty to do there – a lot of upgrade buildings, but Valkyrie only had a well and stables, so I had to attack. No chance.

Thanks for the game.

Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Loi (Conflux, Monere) 2sm4d(4), 143

A game with a monstrous amount of mistakes on both sides, but because of that, very interesting.
Kyrre with 5 bows, has external dwellings, 50 Centaurs from the start - great, we play, and this is even considering that my restarts ran out. Not enough gold, only 4 heroes on 112 and unclear where to get more. There's a chest blocked by 20-49 Crossbowmen, who also block the path. There's a road underground, but I don't feel like it. For that purpose, I return Tyris, sort of hedging against morale, but I wasn't immune to stupidity. 50 Centaurs, troops from the 3rd and 4th Grand Elves died. :smile34: But there's a passage, right away Kyrre eats 2 Crypts and only by 116 picks up a Conflux secondary. There too I blunder - I wanted both the home castle and to hire Grindan from the tavern and build a Mage Guild for Kyrre. I messed around so much that Kyrre loses 2 days. I break up my army and run underground, and then Grindan discovers Monere with a decent army. Why I didn't run there earlier to check is also unclear.:confused: -350 gold per day. Kyrre, for some odd reason, attacks a group of Harpies at a Beehive.:smile04: I discover that the +1 Necklace of Swiftness remained with the noob - they ate 2 Dendroid Soldiers (which I regretted later) and all 12 Air Elementals that I had foolishly recruited in Conflux.:mad: I never make it to Inferno, -2500 for splitting the army, -2000 for the Mage Guild at home, I pick up the Helm of the Alabaster (+4) and the Sword Breaker (+4), completely drain my resources, and wait for a thrashing at home. Didn't have enough cash to buy the Centaurs, only 7 Dendroids, about 40 Grand Elves, a handful of Centaurs, and of course Pegasi. This time it was the opponent's turn to blunder. Both have Advanced Tactics, but he didn't place the birds in the right hex before the battle. The Grand Elves shoot and don't even kill one bird, but..... morale:smile23:. And exactly 2 birds are taken out!:smile03: Then 80 mana came into play. The birds did manage to hit the Grand Elves once, but they inevitably had to deal with the Wood Elves, and when almost all the countless red hordes crawled through the moat, receiving Slow in turn, the remaining Grand Elves with Haste break out. A miracle happened, even though I didn't deserve it, but we continue playing.

Now it's my turn to screw up - near the secondary hero, a captured Fire Elemental dwelling, and Brissa is coming to visit - why I didn't take them and instead hired Aislin, a woodpecker (Pegasus) with an army but only 1 mana point, that's the question. Brissa takes the Fire Elementals for herself, gets a town and experience as a bonus.:smile04:
Further, the plan was clear up to 133 - Dwarf Cottage, Naga Bank, Griffin Conservatory level 3 already with Mass Slow, Beehive, return of the secondary hero. Surprisingly, no blunders there. But after 133 I got to thinking - didn't want to go into the treasure zone on the Rocks (Tower town), didn't scout underground even though I could (another mistake), had long noticed a Necklace of Swiftness +1 behind the GO - I run to beat the GO while sacrificing a scout hero to an Angel at a Crypt - on the last seconds I transferred 5 Air Elementals instead of sending them to be eaten by the Pegasus.:mad: And this despite the fact that the Crypt already had Skeletons for the sacrifice. We end up with 4 types of troops giving -2 morale and several unlucky kicks. If Maximus had killed all 3 Angels instead... Anyway, I break the GO, but it's very far to the capital - I return with the artifact and then I waited: Monere flies in and devours a Dragon Utopia practically on my respawn :( - the Dragon Utopia was scouted - had 2 Black Dragons, and after that his parameters skyrocket in spell and armor. But he was left with practically nothing - after all, growth was only for 2 weeks + Pikemen. I buy troops and run to visit... The apotheosis of this absurd game.
I forget to buy a Tent even though I had planned to.:smile35: Monere has settled in a secondary town, upgraded it to a Castle. At the entrance to the town, Brissa with 7 units of Sprites. Clearly he plans to dish out some Light magic damage to my Grand Elves - but I didn't expect this. Brissa turns out to have that very Breastplate from the Dragon Utopia, and I, the fool, only realized this after casting:smile35: ... What Loi was counting on with this move I don't know... Since he knew about the Death Wave spell, Mass Haste was also possible, which didn't happen. In the end, half the Grand Elves are wiped out and Brissa flees - if she had lost the Breastplate, it would have been a one-sided finale, but as it is...
I attacked, no longer afraid of magic, it was enough for 2 casts, the 3rd missed. We fought fiercely and for a long time, the scales tipping one way and then the other. The Pikemen got a lucky morale, taking the life of one bird. I blundered by not placing the Unicorns on the correct moat hex - an unnecessary loss. Then Loi also cleverly trapped my Phoenixes in the moat when the towers were almost destroyed. Only 1 bird, 3 Wyverns, 2 Berserkers left against my 3 Unicorns and 14 Grand Dwarves. No magic left, and then the Ballista and the Speed artifact decided it. 13 Dwarves survived.

Thanks for the game and the adrenaline!!!

Javdet (Синий, Оплот, Киррь, Киррь) def Loi (Флакс, Монер) 2sm4d(4), 143

Yeah, an epic game :). I put the birds in the citadel, external dwelling of water elementals. My carelessness during the game decided it (well how could it be—fail to arrange units before battle?? and then—one must absolutely answer a couple of messages before attacking and then forget about the arrangement...). Even later I could have locked the gates from the outside once I reached the grands... Roma's brilliant play in battles was no less decisive—I learned a lot, I'm weak in that. I had to retreat, rushed the mini Dragon Utopia with third-week growth (+ external dwelling of water elementals + two hives), gave them wings:), on 141 stole Dragon Utopia 2 already with fourth-week growth—came out with 6 birds and 10 vives, could have flown off to explore the map, but it was late—decided to settle things faster... An instructive game, thanks to my opponent for it and the experience gained!
