Temofey (red,Castle,Valeska,Шахтер) def DubrovinPoll (blue,ramp,Kyrre,Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 214

I will turn a blind eye to the opponent's rule violations (Taking the external dwelling of Horses behind the barrier on wings, not breaking the Dragon Utopia guard, taking Hives and artifacts without breaking the guard) only because Kyrre was resting against 19 Angels, 60 Vivs, and superior parameters. I confirm.

According to my layout.

One secondary Dungeon dwelling.
On the first week - secondary dwelling, scouted Dragon Utopia on respawn and external dwelling of Horses behind a crowd of Minotaurs. Units in the Citadel.

On the second week - Dwarf dwelling, Naga-Bank, Medusa dwelling, Pandora's box for 10000 experience, external dwelling of Units, Consa Three with Gr. where 30 Griffins lost morale and pecked at Elves, killing 8 Elvises.

On the third week - Consa-Three, damn Mini Dragon Utopia (Gladius), then spent a week scouring a useless Treasury where I only wasted time (14 Vivs, Boots, Gloves of Speed, +1 Speed in Battle).

On the fourth week - I took the opponent's Capital, which appeared within reach; I attack, however my 10 Angels, with 40 Units, still could not compete with Shaktie's 19 Angels and 60 Vivs and parameters that were almost 2 times superior.

Thanks for the game.

misantrop (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def Hermit (red, Tower, Solmyr, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 231

I took 2 resurrections, Vova didn't take any.
It dumped me into the subway, short roads, ГО and two to the sun, an exit to a dungeon via the wasteland, and into the necro treasure zone, but there was a horde of Marksmen.
I captured a secondary Conflux, there was a Griffin Conservatory (3-unit) and a Dragon Utopia, but I had very few Skeletons, I ran around gathering until the third week.
I took the Conservatory, went to the Dragon Utopia, minimal gear (Book of Water, Boots of Speed, Pendant of Courage, and +10% Eagle Eye), behind the Dragon Utopia was the entrance to the subway, there was that same necro treasure zone, 2 stacks of Liches and 1 of Dragons, Cap of 5th level magic, 2 beehives (14 Wyverns), +1000 mine, library, and Daemon.
217 broke through a double ГО of 44 Giants and 90 Cavalrymen, got out onto the snow, visited the lookout tower, and was 2 steps away from the opponent's Castle.

221 Opponent bought Naga, Genies, and Mages, but couldn't lead this good stuff far away with trash creatures.
222 I take the Castle and kill 11 Nagas, 9 Mages, 7 Genies, and 45 Gremlins.

On 231 I attack Kyrre in the Castle.

misantrop (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Hermit (red, Tower, Solmir, Kirr) 2sm4d(3) 231

That's how it was. I don't like to complain about the map, but it seemed like the generator simply hated me with a fierce hatred, sometimes reaching absurd levels. Despite having a few gremlins, wizards, and nagas on the map, with many of them being master-level djinns, it seemed that absolutely everything on this map was designed against me... I lost critically several times and, in general, I should have surrendered, but I continued anyway... Because of the lack of vision, I couldn't move a large number of troops, and then I could have tried to go to another treasure, but it was unlikely that I could escape to the swamp due to the terrible spawns from Goshka with a hat, so I decided to try to sit out in the castle. It might have worked if the explosions had resisted, but the teleport of more than 1000 skeletons behind the wall gave me no chance. :(

Thank you for the game.

~no1_knows_me~ (Red, Conflux, random, Monere, Monere) def Lanser (Blue, Castle, Caitlin, Korbac) 2sm4d(3) 1-3-7

I took rest, and lo and behold Monere came and air was already built, let's go:

111. Pre-max crypt, 4 heroes, built mage guild.
112. Monere has expert logistics.
113. Pre-max crypt. Eislin barely beats many orcs for the passage to the secondary. Left with 10 storms and 28 gremlins...
114. Native secondary :smile12:
115. Mini crypt
116. Came with the lady to take phoenixes into the army.
117. Monere with 2 phoenixes beats another 2 medium crypts. Home phoenixes in fort and 1-2 in citadel in secondary.
121. Barely crawled out of max behemoth lair (phoenixes had 50 health left). Transfer more army and take pre-max medusa lair and mini griffin conservatory.
122. Beat many mages for pandora's box with 10k exp - expert earth and tactics. Head home to replenish mana.
123. Medusa lair on 4, dragon fly hive on 8 wyverns - heading toward the second griffin conservatory.
124. Another mini griffin conservatory :( Took it with losses and gave dad +4 to attack.
125. Solmyr takes another dragon fly hive with 8 wyverns :smile26: I go into the metro and stand near 100-249 ogres for shield +4 and breastplate +5.
126. Army arrives and 112 ogres fall, then 59 gray.rusts for necklace +3 all.
127. Going through treasure zone: pandora's box with 10k gold, pandora's box with all water, pandora's box with 50 boars. Standing near shield +4 to all :smile10: A dragon utopia is visible nearby. Home castle and 1-6 in citadel in secondary. :cool:
131. Take from 11 ghost dragons the shield and go with the lady for mana.
132. Fly to the dragon utopia.
133. Take the dungeon with a loss. With Monere break through the wood for hat +3/3, then artifact +2 to speed and in the dragon utopia on 3 crystal dragons (losses: 1 wyvern, 50 boars and a few earth elementals) give: chalice, titan's gladius and angel wings - I'm in heaven :smile26:
134. Thinking about flying over to the opponent, standing near the dragon fly hive.
135. Took another 8 wyverns and went to the castle to suck mana.
136. Something doesn't sit right with me about the blue movement near ГО - lots of gray.phoenixes. Standing nearby so I can fly to the blue castle if needed, and also can reach if someone moves on my capital...Turned out it was just the blue chain spinning there...
137. Take all the troops and fly into the empty capital...There are 20 swords and the same amount of marks sitting there unclaimed...Some loss attacks with 6 archangels, 5 angels, 10 champions and some misc...
Too bad there was no beautiful FB :smile17:

Though you can't really push against two fluxes...and the stats were twice as high...

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

In the game with no1_knows_me, I learned a trick: fly in on wings to the opponent's Castle as a weak unit, and then buy out their main hero without capturing the Town Hall.
It's a pretty cool thing overall.
Thanks for the game.

Good strategy, but I once encountered this: I arrive, and there's a Fortress hero with a lot of troops. GG

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def AYMAN (Blue, Rampart, Kirry, Kirry), 2sm4d(3), 2.2.2.

Slow roads. There is a Gnoll external dwelling.

On the first week - secondary for Necro and Castle. Vivas with Bulls, without Cornflowers in the Stronghold.

On the second week - something stalled and he went into a Maxi-Hive, from which he came out with 12 Vivas and 2 Bulls. Then he lost both the Bulls and Viva somewhere.

On the third week - took a couple of dozen Vivas in Treasury and went to another Treasury, where he took the whole Earth for less than 10 simple Phoenixes.

On the fourth week - Mini-Dragon Utopia (Bag of Gold), Mini-Dragon Utopia (Oracle's Hat), the entire 4th Floor. Cloak of Renunciation, Library, +2 to speed. Decided to go visit, but forgot that he hadn't built up the Guild in his Home town, so he sat there for nothing and went without Mana. Broke through ГО (with nearly 50 Reds), however they were waiting for me, had Mana for 1 TP, had to Portal home. I see Ayman coming towards me, holed up in the Castle, wearing the Cloak of Renunciation. Ayman's LightBolt hit Hard, had to move out from behind the Walls since Magic was killing me Fast. Managed to hold out.

On the fifth week - a new Assault on my Castle. This time didn't bother putting on the Cloak, but bet on Armageddon. Put Anti-magic on 13 Gr. Vivas and 16 Bulls in Tomato, killed Gnomes. Fired an Armageddon. Kirry gave up many tasty things.

Thanks to Ayman for an interesting game!

Everything is correct, thank you Pasha for another interesting game and experience!!!!!!!!!!

Gomunguls(Red,Stronghold,Kreg,Kreg)def Hermit(Blue,Swamp,Tazar,Tazar)2sm4d(3),1.4.5

The start was normal; in the first few days I cleared the respawn near the town... killed everyone and had to choose whether to go underground or to the borders of my own secondary town... I went underground... attacked the mages and lost almost all my troops there)) only a ballista and 4 orcs remained)) but it was worth it, just as I thought... cleared the underworld and built monsters in the Castle... on the second week I headed toward my secondary town but saw that the opponent was already taking it.... ran to the portal and captured another secondary town (a tower)... at the start of the 3rd week I broke the max Griffin Conservatory with almost no losses and ran to the treasure zone... there I broke the Dragon Utopia and found many other good things... by 1.3.7 I was already in the capital... on the fourth week I captured the enemy capital and started searching for the opponent's ГГ...

Thanks for the game!!! It was a pleasure playing as Stronghold;)

Start was normal, in the first days I clear the respawn near the town...killed everyone and then had to choose between going to the underground or to the borders of native secondary...went to the underground...attacked the mages and lost all my troops there))only a ballista and 4 orcs remained))but it was worth it as I thought...cleared the underground and built monsters in Castle...on the second week I go to native secondary but see that the opp is already taking it....I run to the portal and capture another secondary (Tower)...at the beginning of the 3rd I break max consu almost without losses and run to the treasure zone...there I break the utopia and find a lot of good stuff...by 1.3.7 I am already in the capital...on the fourth week I captured the enemy capital and started looking for the enemy's main hero...

Thanks for the game!!!Glad to play for Stronghold;)

That's how it was. I lost momentum on the first week, because the passage to one secondary was guarded by many grand elves, and to the other by many orc chieftains, and there was no wood for wyverns. I attacked the orcs, there were 49 of them... Lost tempo. By the second week two secondaries, the main base was a horde of efreet sultans, so I didn't think the opponent would come at the start of the fourth, but he found a hat, teleported over it, and immediately reached the capital, so part of the troops were not recruited. I was one tile short of taking the utopia that gave the red orb and the necklace, Tazar was almost out of mana and Kreg had expert haste.

Thanks for the game.

numOne (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def StickyFingaz (red, Castle, Valeska, Jabarkas), 2sm4d(3), 141

All the rests were chosen and I got dealt an empty underground respawn and Lorelei in the tavern, but there were several directions nonetheless.
On the first day - I broke through to Inferno in the underground, at home I built 1-4 in the Citadel. Shakti got Earth and Armor.
On the second - I get Log, I color Rampart above, I take the Nagabank mini, I return to the underground, there's a +5 hat, a 2/2 cloak, a Nagabank treshka. The opponent's papa attacked my scout on the grass. I buy a spellbook - there's Expert Slow. I built Efreeti + took their external dwelling as well. Money is tight, but I'm managing.
Then Slava takes Rampart from me, I get it back, running around, running around... And in the end Jabarkas conveniently positions himself on 141, I buy up everything and attack with superior forces - victory!

Thanks for the game.

Global power-gaming—Defense against Speed. :) There was a lot of drive—they actually stole my swamp; in the end, I managed to catch Gunny with 9 Archangels and my swamp growth using the mountain portal, flight, and Dimension Door into the same area.
Thanks for the game!

Yes, it's hard not to let a logistics player capture the main town if they've scouted it ).
I saw 56+ wyverns. What do you do with them if you don't have devastating magic? Well, first, don't let them buy up the new growth; second, it's preferable to fight in the Castle rather than in an open field; third, eliminate that unknown thing called "magic" (there was a red orb); as for killing the catapult—that's just a matter of technique. All that was left was for the opponent to attack. But he didn't attack; instead, he intended to keep hoarding wyverns. And for some reason, I actually ventured out...

The time allotted for the first test run has passed; everything is going smoothly, and we are ahead of schedule. There are no technical issues, and none are expected in the near future. Regarding the current situation: In the first group, a strong and well-matched lineup has emerged; no one has avoided defeat, and the competition is fierce. In the second group, Mizrael is emerging as a clear leader with 3 wins out of 3. In the third group, the "dark horses" (conditionally) are just starting to compete, and I predict that things will get very interesting. In other words, the main battle is yet to come. Regarding the award badges: I am reporting that there is active correspondence with Pete, and the designs have already been approved. The work is in progress. As a reminder, all changes and additions will be made in posts 1 and 2 (in blue).
