Posts from Reports on online games and their confirmations (Autumn 2009 season).

RetroFM (red, Rampart, Kir, Kir) def ifeelu (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 6lm10 arrived, but the opponent hadn't built anything... :eek: 5 Hydras... and so on, he rushed into the town... that is, with advanced terrain and terrain vision, he determined where the opponent was... Kirushka arrived unnoticed))) Thanks for the game.

Pavel Dubrovin (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def OUTLAW (Red, Castle, Valeska, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.3.

First 2 weeks tempoed great... On week 1, day 1, 2 a pandora with 43 vampires for 10k gold. Dropped only one secondary in the swamps. At the end of the week - home cavalry with citadel + 2 external dwellings of swordsmen and 2 external dwellings of monks, GG - Shakti.
On the second week I break a lot of vis for a pandora with 5k experience and junk... light up the overview and see the enemy's Conflux respawn. I push there, expecting a meeting, but the generator perfectly protected Pasha from my early invasions - there was no passage nearby.... I go to treasure zone on the lava - there's a pandora with 10K experience, broke a nagas' dwelling, but it's maximum... I don't attack... Shakti is level 15 with expert logistics and pathfinding, earth. At home I built monks and griffins with castle + external dwelling of griffins. No Slow in the home Mage Guild((
On week 1, day 3, 1 I conquer my Swamp, GG breaks into it, there's a Griffin Conservatory nearby (2-4)
I overnight in a Fortress, learn about a native secondary for Pasha(((Build Mage Guild - again no Slow, check the Conservatory(2), break it without new growth, and then a real stalemate starts with running around the swamp..... while I was deciding what to do - about 3 days of GG inactivity passed, at least the scouts picked up 18 ducks from hives. At the end of the week I finally get out to treasure zone, no money, no Dragon Utopias in sight.... At the start of the 4th, Pasha jumped over GO, I decide not to drag it out..... In terms of army, actual equality, but in terms of parameters I was lagging by 2 times and had nothing against level 5 magic...
P/S: the post-mortem showed that the 2 Dragon Utopias that Pasha took were the only ones on the entire map......
Thank you for the game!!!!

OUTLAW (red, Castle, Valessa, Clavius) def Keba (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2SM4d(3), 1-3-2
Konstantin's generator initially threw such a start for the red Castle that I felt sick... But here we are playing...
Start with speed roads, no built archers. On day 1, a Dragon Utopia is revealed near the castle, a Dwarf Cottage, an external Griffin dwelling, boots. In the tavern, Clavius; I'm focusing on him...
On day 112, Clavius gets Tactics in fights against neutrals, already wearing the boots... The ГО (Cyclopes) and a fork in the road leading to 3 secondary mines are revealed, the road to the 3rd secondary mine and external Archer dwelling is blocked by 20-49 Grand Ogres.
Day 113 - I light up the Observation Tower, which reveals the respawn of a secondary mine on the rocks behind double guards of Medusas and Gogs, the outlines of snow where the 3rd secondary mine should be, a second Dragon Utopia!!! behind the capital, and 2 external Archer dwellings with a Crypt that the ГГ heads towards, breaking through an artifact for +1 Morale along the way.
Day 114 - I break through the Crypt (mini), capture the external Archer dwelling. Day 115 - I pop home to the Stables, stay overnight near 20-49 Cerberi at the metro to the secondary mine; a scout deep in the respawn found Stables and a Griffin Conservatory nearby.
Day 116 - I break through the Cerberi, but below the metro is a horde of Lizardmen; I break through 30 Ogre Magi for a Pandora's Box with 10k gold, stay overnight near a block on the snowy secondary mine.
Day 117 - In the snow, I free Gervulf (level 5) with a decent skill set from a prison, capture a Tower, stay overnight at a Crypt. From the Observation Tower in the snow, I revealed an external Wood dwelling and the outlines of an external Dragon dwelling on the opponent's respawn(((, as well as neighbors in the treasure zone on the rocks - a Necklace of Swiftness and a Griffin Conservatory.
At home - Stables with the Citadel, including 2 external Archer dwellings.
Day 121 - I break through the Crypt, split my army at the capital and rush to the first Griffin Conservatory via a Fountain. Archers are recruited from the external dwellings.
Day 122 - I break through the Dwarf Cottage (mini) in a chain; the ГГ stays overnight at the Griffin Conservatory on Champions 2-4.
Day 123 +2 Angels, another Griffin Conservatory is revealed on the corner of the native respawn; Clavius rushes to it on Angels.
Day 124 +3 Angels, I split the army at the ГГ into the Tower and stay overnight near a block in the treasure zone. I broke through the external Griffin dwelling.
Day 125 +2 Angels, Necklace of Swiftness (2), I split the army at the capital to refill mana. Griffin upgrade. From the Expert Earth magic view, I see the opponent's capital is very close to the ГО.
Day 126 - Swordsmen upgrade, Clavius speeds up on Angels not far from the ГО; I pray that Konstantin doesn't have an Observation Tower on the border of the respawns.
But at this time, Kyrre was busy breaking through the Necklace of Swiftness, external Wood, and Dragon dwellings.
Day 127 - I break the Cyclops horde, leveling Ballistics to Expert, break through the Rampart with a Castle and several units, upgrade 6 Silver Pegasi, stay overnight there. I didn't build a Castle at home; 1-6 in terms of development.
On my turn, a scout on 1 Dragon and 1 Grand Centaur sends my 2 scouts to the forefathers in the direction of my capital; from the metro near the opponent's Inferno, my scout is chased away by Efreeti...
Kyrre broke through a block from her own respawn to my Tower, staying overnight in it.
Day 131 - Clavius chases away a scout with a Dragon from the capital; in Rampart, with whatever funds were available, I bought the forest brotherhood.
The ГГ stays overnight on Angels, Silver Pegasi, and Champions near the capital; the rest of the army is inside.
On my turn, Kyrre in a chain recaptures her capital (honestly, I didn't expect her to make the chain), Town Portals there (a Town Portal scroll to Expert Earth magic and a level 4 Mage Guild with Armageddon and Chain Lightning), stays overnight there.
Day 132 - Clavius visits the Stables in the capital and buys a few Archers and Crusaders; there's no gold at all... And I attack.
Kyrre has - 6 Angels, 5 Efreeti, 1 Unique, 20+ Grand Elves, 20+ Grand Centaurs, and a few Silver Pegasi
Clavius has - 7 Angels, 5 Champions, 10 Crusaders, 1+5 Silver Pegasi, 80 Skeletons, 70+ Archers
In the first round, I take out the Efreeti (as if I knew Armageddon might happen :smile16: ), block the Grand Elves. Then, thanks to Expert Ballistics (which the opponent also had at Expert), Mass Slow + Mass Shield, and an advantage in army power, I achieve victory.
Thank Konstantin for the game!!! Finally managed to win against him; before, I only got my ass kicked by him on the Portal....

OUTLAW(red, Castle, Valeska, Clavius) def Keba(blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2SM4d(3), 1-3-2

It happened. My congratulations to the opponent, he played very strongly, respect. I made a mistake in literally small things, for which I was punished. On the first week, I revealed my sizable respawn with a bunch of Dwarf Hovels, banks, and 2 fat Griffin Conservatories as it turned out. I took Inferno for the secondary hero, there was an external dwelling of Efreeti, first I wanted to take them and put them in the fort, then I changed my mind and set up a chain towards the Conservatory. I built Rogues in the citadel. And then starting from day 121, my thoughts overload my head))) how to play so that it works out for a Pelican. Day 123: +3 Angels from the Conservatory on 2-4, I went there with Expert Slow but with 1 spell and wasted 15 mana points for nothing out of 40, for which on day 124 they killed 3 out of 4 of my Rogues, and 1 out of 3 Angels, because I had exactly enough mana for 1 cast, but now with 2 spells). Of course there's a max with gremlins, but Kyrre is leveled decently and takes that Conservatory thanks to the Pegasi. I reveal the Dragon dwelling, plenty of resources, I get Wisdom, she's almost Expert and I think what to build... Efreeti in the Castle with the dwelling and Dragons with the town, or to rush magic, I went for the banks. My plans were to recruit, buy out, and conduct reconnaissance by combat using fodder. Everything else is written, I only didn't buy 18 Gogs and the hero with Elves, forgot... in the final I simply lacked fodder, which the Conservatories ate, and there was nowhere to even buy a spell. Thank you.

The respawn isn't very rich, but there is a confluence for 2 and an external dwelling of angels behind the gr. horses; I decide to play. There are 2 roads: one to the secondary town, the other to the Dungeon and towards ГО. I took the secondary town only on 122 because everywhere there were archers... on the first turn, horses in the citadel; in the prison, I beat Galya back into his folders on 113... on 127 I take the external dwelling of angels and on 131 the confluence immediately. In another corner of the respawn, there was another confluence nearby: +6 attack and 3+3 magic and knowledge; I decide to take it, losing 3 turns while running... I get broken and enter the treasure zone on 135; on the way is a secondary Dungeon town. I see the Dragon Utopia and red near ГО; he breaks through ГО but doesn't reach the Castle... I take the Dragon Utopia on 2, nothing great... +2 sandals to everything, a hat +4 knowledge, and of course levitation boots)) I get broken and bring my power to the castle in a chain. I didn't attack red, decided to replenish mana; in the end, he attacked the castle himself, although the parameters and exp were air and earth—they would have settled it in the field anyway with parameters exceeding the opponent... thx for the game

First week, Kir jumped to the secondary Conflux, bought a spell book there, visited a stable on day 121, and ran to collect beehives. He collected three beehives, expertized Slow, and was at the Griffin Conservatory. Then he refilled his mana and descended underground to Shakti via the left lift... On day 131, he doubled his mana in the opponent's main castle... Only the Eyeballs with Summoning and two external Eyeball dwellings had been built... Surrounding conservatories... I thought they were all taken... He ran to find the opponent... The opponent cunningly circled around and took another conservatory... Then he set me up with Looses and Wraiths, and they took all my mana... He had a lot of Wraiths... I had Slow, but no Mass Haste or Tactics... I thought it wouldn't be very pleasant to fight without magic, so I surrendered, bought myself out, and took a Dragon Utopia which gave +5 to everything. I took a Teacher ))) The Intelligentsia ))) Extreme, for crying out loud... Then the opponent had control, I had the army... Scrolls: Meteor Shower, Resurrection, Berserk... No Wisdom
I set up 4th-level magic there, Portal... I constantly chase the opponent and capture his last castle... I had Dragons and Angels built myself... In the end, on day 217, I caught Shakti without mana in his main town )))) Need I say more, without mana... Shakti raised his stats to incredible levels, but Shakti was Red... And he ended up stuck without mana in the town... For which he was punished... The last skill finally gave me Wisdom, and I learned Portal
I was sped up, portaled into the opponent's secondary town, and ran to the opponent's main city... Kiryukha after all... The opponent asked how many times I used Dimension Door... Honestly, I say Kiryukha didn't have it ))) Why would he need Dimension Door? He is Kiryukha!!!

Thx for the game...

It happened, though the term was somewhere around 227 I think :). I was exclusively clueless for the first week and a half, to the point where I skipped Shakti's turn every other move due to mistakes in transmissions; they didn't let me surrender—they weren't rushing toward me—so I got into the game. Anyway, I circled and twisted for almost a month—I wanted to deceive, but it didn't work)). Having saved up 13 angels and 35 vivs, I calculated exactly for Dimension Door, flying on the seventh day while Shakti was in the dungeon with breathless anticipation of mana doubling—Kirya was about 39 lands away... But what are thirty-nine lands to a fast-footed girl? Nothing at all... With 8 mana, same old own house for Shakti))
Thanks for an interesting game!

RomarioGrom (blue, Barbs, Deesa, Deesa) def злой романтик (red, Tower, Nella, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3), 135

Around d114, my native secondary managed to shove 1,2,3,5 into the Citadel, at home there were only Castle. I started strategic battles because I had no money, and then out of nowhere around 123 Nagash appeared, followed by Kyrre near ГГ and the secondary. I holed up in the Citadel and fought back thanks to magic. In short, we chased each other around and bought each other out)) 135 bought up and attacked Kyrre, resulting in a capitulation.

Thanks for the game!!!

RomarioGrom (blue, Barbarian, Dessa, Dessa) def злой романтик (red, Tower, Nella, Kir) 2sm4d(3), 135 It happened. The map was full of... no nymphs, no money-generating buildings. I fell for Kir, that's why I didn't take the rest... The only viable path led to the opponent, and he had a native secondary town... Thanks for the game.
