RetroFM (blue, Mages, Torosar, Shiva) def HeadHunter (red, Barbarian, Dessa,...) 2sm4d(3), 124


On turn 111 Torosar stood before the entrance to the Barbarian secondary town ))) Well, I thought I should set up bears ))) Like who will have more of them ))) You know how I love bears )) The second road... not even a road... GO is within easy reach, magic dragons ))) Another reason to station troops in the secondary town... What if the enemy comes ))) On turn 112 I break through the guard of 30 Orc Grunts, losing the transported Gargoyles (I hadn't built any on the first turn) and 60 Gremlins... My thought: archers are definitely no longer needed; the main hero is not in sight... Shiva? Offense scouting... Scouting will come in handy in the Treasury for sure )) Offense and Attack are good... Well, Shiva probably... On turn 113 I capture the Barbarian secondary town ))) I put 1000 in the first Castle... I like going into debt... The third turn, the enemy took a long time. On turn 114, Shiva gets birds... starts leveling up with Ballista... She took two points in Attack... Turn 116, I see the bears aren't working out, but Shiva spots an external dwelling of birds and flies there to capture it on turn 117!!! Oh... on turn 117 it turns out the guard of the external dwelling plus Torosar with feet are 10-19 upgraded Sultan Efreet... Shiva pauses, licks her lips, and... goes to the Dwarf Cottage for gold... On turn 117 in the Barbarian town... birds with a Citadel... On turn 121 I buy everything in the Barbarian town, but for some reason the hero doesn't pick up the troops and they remain in the town, while Shiva stands bewildered at the Dwarf Cottage and asks, "Don't you need the gold?" On turn 122 Shiva takes the max Dwarf Cottage. Takes Wisdom... hoping for the Treasury...
Shiva goes home for a spell book, picking up +Knowledge along the way... And... And then the opponent surrenders... and says...

"I threw in the towel on the first week and found no happiness on the second..." Shiva was

Confirmed. Thank you for the game.

Kash (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) draw wr35 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Dessa), 2sm4d(3), 127

I'm writing to introduce a decently skilled newcomer, a fellow countryman of mine. He piqued my interest by asking to play on 8-minute timer (he said he hadn't played in a while..), then studied the HeroesWorld rules and gave clear, well-reasoned observations. By the way, the guy prefers TE.
Not expecting serious resistance, I scribbled myself a Tower to practice because I'm bad at it :)

In short, I have a double, with a Dragon Utopia and an external Naga dwelling on both respawns, a Medusa dwelling, a Naga Bank, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a mini-crypt. 3 external Gremin dwellings are not very convenient.
My opponent has a Conflux secondary, 3 Griffin Conservatories on the respawns (but no Slow anywhere and the Conservatories are strong), an external bird dwelling, and a decent amount of artifacts.

On the first week, I barely squeezed Naga into the Citadel, devouring all the resources from the respawns and the external Gremin dwelling. I only found one mine - stones on the secondary. Zero gold at the end of the week.
The opponent put Centaurs into the Citadel and a Mage Guild in Conflux. At the start of 121, 14500 gold

On the second week, I flagged an external Naga dwelling with a second lot of cows (the second one hasn't been found yet), took the Medusa dwelling and the Naga Bank, and rushed towards the opponent trying to intercept the Griffin Conservatories - one is very close, the others I knew weren't taken. Honestly, I was mostly counting on luck. We met on the grass on 126.
I didn't bring Magi/Golems to save movement points, so this is what happened:

Nella level 10, 4-6-5-21, expert Armorer and Earth, advanced Leadership, 1st level spells in the spellbook
260 (!) Gremlins, 7 upgraded Nagas, 13+1+1+1+1 upgraded Gargoyles

Dessa level 12, 12-7-6-60, expert Earth and Archery, basic Armorer, mass Shield, Haste and Arrow 90. +1 HP (which turned out to be important)
2 Conflux birds (external dwelling), 2 Magi (built), 5 Centaurs, 40 Marksmen, Peasants and Hovels

It was a terrible fight and seemingly almost without mistakes. Still, I blundered once, plus a couple of random events like 2 HP on a bird, missing morale on the strike stacks... In short, I killed the birds, Magi, Centaurs, and about 15 Marksmen, and bought back with no mana and a handful of Gremlins.
2 Lich Pellets attacked again, pecking at the Marksmen with arrows

After discussing the situation, we decided to agree on a draw.
I suggested it of course, since I had 131 gold and couldn't buy anything, had nothing to eat, and really didn't want to claw my way out of this mess :)

P.S. Before the game, I invited Ilya to the beginners' tournament, but later I thought about it and decided to decline:
1) The game is absolutely not noobish, although not top-tier either
2) Many will die while he's taking his turns — don't let him play on eight minutes :)

Thank you for the game and nice to meet you.
Welcome to HeroesWorld

wr35 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Dessa) draw Kash (red, Tower, Nella, Nella), 2sm4d(3), 127

Confirmed. On day 1, I spot a Griffin Conservatory next to the castle with a strong guard, another one nearby, and Dessa is hired from the tavern. I get Earth Magic. 125 book in secondary is Conflux. On 117, Perks + Experience Log. In the castle, there are horses in the citadel. The decision is made to take all 3 Griffin Conservatories in a row, starting with the far one, even though it's strongly guarded. On 121, I level up Earth Magic in the Gnoll Hut, + basic Archery. Speed boost at the stable. And then a setback; the capital didn't give Slow (immediately cursed SoD, since in TE there's usually no such issue). In the secondary town, I build up to birds. While the noobs are frantically searching the entire respawn for that Slow, with 30 Marksmen, basic Archery, and the growth from the citadel, it was decided to go around for the Sword +6 and the external dwelling of birds, fortunately the movement range is huge. Sacrificing all the meat on the guards successfully, I wait for the next growth to take the same things without Slow :mad: On 127, the opponent arrives, having learned about the Griffin Conservatories from reliable sources :), and ruins all plans. I buy up whatever troops are available and attack. In the end, we agreed on a draw.

Thanks for the game.

Volland (red, Aine, Crag Hack) lose to Van (blue, barbarians, Gunnison, Gunnison), smka, 126
A fat native respawn, 2 external dwellings of birds, orcs, ogres, took the adjacent zone meteroland and broke through to the adjacent zone on the grass, sat thinking how to pay a visit, Gurney in good shape on 18 birds, then the opponent swoops in with a scout hero, and with all his might to boot, a complete blowout.
Thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def misantrop (Red, Tower, Neela, Neela), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.1.

On the first week — Fortress secondary skill, did not take Tower secondary skill (50-99 Gogs). Horses in the Stronghold.

On the second week — External dwelling of Spearmen, used Loş to enter the Max Medusa dwelling with Gr., where he lost 7 Marksmen, then Loş lost another 11 Marksmen due to a Morale stack of nearly 50 Centaurs. Tower secondary skill, Medusa dwelling, Dwarf dwelling, Naga Bank for 3 Nagas. In 2 Guilds, Slow is stubbornly not given despite Expert Earth. Broke through with Loş to the secondary skill, which turned out to be Castle, Neela drives me away from there, I buy peace for 10000. I go there with Vale already, Neela is in the Garrison from the Stronghold. Went back. Loş revealed the external dwelling of Angels at that Respawn, prepared to take it. On 1.3.1. Neela attacks, the battle is in my favor, capitulation.

Thanks for the game!

RetroFM (blue, Rampart, Kir, Kir) def. Magneto (Vladimir) (red, Castle, Valya, Kreg, ...) 2sm4d(3), 214

At first, I was happy that I had two of my heroes in the tavern and had gathered ten elves from the heroes, but when I entered the unique creatures' lair on day 112... :eek: The unique creatures immediately lowered morale... minus 10 elves... for the next two turns, it was Blind and Blind:eek:
I wasn't in the mood for jokes anymore :smile04: morale dropped completely, and only two unique creatures and a tent remained of the troops... When, for some reason, I sent these two unique creatures to guard the zone, I requested an auto-battle. The enemy gave me an auto-battle )) Well, I still transferred the unique creatures to another hero and still lost them in the first week... It seems they were destined to die in the first week... Yes... I say that those unique creatures were destined to die in the first week... Well, in the end, I had no reason to complain; I had two external unique creatures, elves, dryads, and pegasi... except for centaurs and dragons... In the final battle, after equalizing the stacks against the opponent, I showered them with Armageddon... GG... Yes, Kreg had Expert Fire and was casting Expert Berserk continuously to the right and left ))) The unique creatures withstood everything... including the final Armageddon.
