All reports that are written and confirmed here will be taken into account in the rating table.

It is MANDATORY to indicate the colors of the players, starting heroes, and heroes who became main heroes, the map, and the date the game ended:

The winner is listed first, followed by the loser. If desired, you can describe the match in more detail.

If a player chooses a random starting Castle, the report header should look like this:
vbn (red, random, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def invisible (blue, random, Inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.

In case of choosing a random hero, the report should have the following form:

All reports that do not comply with the above rules will NOT be taken into account in the rating!
Given that many newcomers are playing, which may be difficult for them (although I personally think it won't be hard for them to learn two lines, as well as for seasoned players), if a report is written incorrectly, we will draw their attention to this by writing a post with a list of reports that need to be corrected.

Wlk777 (red, Barbarian, Gurney, Gurney) def Lider1 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Crag Hack) Panic 134
I always win the first game of the season =). We started without rests; I found +3 to Attack and a +4 Shield in the skeletons, also hired 1 mercenary hero and a Crystal Archer, and so there was a lot of money, but I messed up and didn't build bears, the result was 1-5 in the castle for a week. At the beginning of the second week, I lost 2 Griffins and a Ballista (((. Crag comes out with 5 Champions, 2 Cavaliers, an Angel, 14 Marksmen, about 50 units, and 10 Swordsmen – he positions himself in the center of my map, so I have no choice but to attack. I have 7 Thunderbirds, 11 simple Ogres, 21 Orcs, 20+ Black Orcs, about 30 Hobgoblins, and a few Goblins (I spent all my resources, but it wasn't enough for everything). I didn't really expect to win without a Ballista, but 5 Archers dealing 60 damage + experience and Orcs that managed to attack once allowed me to win; Crag buys himself out with 5 Marksmen, and I have 5 Ogres left. I go to my secondary town to replenish mana, and here, the persistent Crag comes out again with 19 Archers, 5 Marksmen, and a large group (30+) of units, but he gets caught in the crossfire again – the 20 Goblins and approximately the same number of simple Wolves, together with the same 5 Archers dealing 60 damage, easily handled the situation. The week ended, and we both retreated to lick our wounds. At the beginning of the 3rd week, I buy a Tyraxor, so I have Black Orcs for 40, I slowly buy units, I take a Medusa Hut for 40 Medusas, I'm planning how to take the Consulate on day 3 (Masslou is coming), I'm going to upgrade 12 Ogres and finally buy a Ballista))), but the opponent, weakened by the second week, loses a lot of troops in the Naga Bank, and refuses to use the auto-combat feature. Thanks for the game.

Wlk777 (red, Barbarian, Gurney, Gurney) def. Lider1 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Crag Hack) Panic 134

It happened.

I was actually thinking about restarting because of the ranged units that blocked half of my base, but when I saw Crag Hack in the tavern, I decided to play.

There was a funny situation in the Fortress of the Beast, where my 6 archers could defeat 5 Ogres, but they simply ran out of arrows :D.

I shouldn't have gone to 124 in the center with Crag Hack. I leveled up nicely on Ice Golems and a group of Wasps, saw red flags and Gnomes. I didn't have much money, so I thought I'd take it and go back. But then there were more enemies. I was greedy again. I hoped they wouldn't attack. But I was wrong. I had a hidden stash of horses in my secondary town, and the archers weren't bought. If I had upgraded everything and then gone, it would have been a different story.

The second attack (125) happened when I saw an enemy unit bought in the fortress. I thought I'd kill him there, as I assumed he had bought everything in the Fortress of the Beast and was sitting there without troops. But that wasn't the case. I had to retreat again.

And then I lost all my horses on 132. I can't seem to take these damn Naga Banks. And to make matters worse, there were 6 Nagas in each stack, but they weren't upgraded. It's always the case that when I have troops, I have only a minimal amount, and when I don't have troops and there's a chance of losing, that's exactly what happens :D

Thank you for the game. Despite the rather quick encounter, it was interesting :)

The opponent took 1 rest and we started, the respawn was poor, very poor, only 2 crypts and 1 Griffin Conservatory... 2 roads, 1 to GO, the other to a secondary town... I went to the secondary town, but then there was a fork, so I went to another secondary town because it was farther from the opponent and closer to the treasure zone... on week 1, in the castle I had 1-6, Tazar barely crawled, but he crushed everything, there were no stables at all, on day 121 I finally took the far secondary town of Conflux, and went to the small treasure zone, by the time I broke through there, I had 20 archers and 5 Wyverns left, but because it's Tazar, I take a couple of Dragon Fly Hives on day 6, and with the Pendant and Ring of Life I started to heal up, 2 hives gave green dragons in the treasure zone and a Griffin Conservatory on week 1 and my own secondary town, result 2 weeks, Tazar is already level 11, in the secondary town I build a Wyvern in the fort and the large treasure zone, there I see a Dragon Utopia, in the end 4 dragons, 2 angels, and 40 Wyverns take it without problems, Dragon Utopia #2, gave as usual G... I cleared all the Dragon Fly Hives while I was roaming, the opponent captured my town, thank God I had money, bought all the Basilisk and Gorgons and hid in the swamp)) after the treasure zone I disbanded and on day 141 I got ready to go take back everything of mine, on the way back I take a Pandora's Box with all level 5, in the end I have 7 green dragons, 2 angels, 20 dendroid guards, 70+ Wyverns, and chaff, stats 22 18 9 9, and the opponent has 15 Gorgons, 35 Basilisks, and the opponent surrenders...((
thanks for the game...

thanks for the game...

Just to clarify — we played until 2.1.3
Confirmed, the respawn is bugged, 0 gold, no cons, no nagabanks, no crypts!, went into the treasure zone, no hives there, didn't check the portal nearby guarded by gr. medusas, since aside from gremlins there was nothing — it led straight to the hive breeding ground, where the opponent picked up wyverns. Overall played poorly. After breaking through the ГО where there were 20 red + 5 black dragons, there were no troops left. Surrendered after the plague.

I'm doing well; on the first turn, I took a nest of gnolls and flies, and a guard post in front of the castle (2-4). The roads are a bit slow, and on the first turn, I got a secondary castle. I found and earned a good amount of money, totaling 1-6 without cows in the citadel and 1000 in both castles. I freed the Dragon with about 40 gnolls. On the second turn, I took a guard post (3), and they gave me a log and earth. The Pandora box has 45 gr. of lizards. At this point, the opponent only has the native growth of the Rampart. I chase after him, catching up only in the castle, and there are no troops there. Even without supplying the swamp's growth, the small forest brotherhood couldn't hold out for even 2 rounds, despite the castle's support. Thanks for the game.

It did happen!

The start was alright, 1,3,4,5,6 in the Citadel, but on 121 I see Vistan picking up his 2nd secondary skill:smile13: (Panic, myself not having a single one yet) but he misses the boots and heads into the subway. I decide to steal the boots right from under his nose to at least somewhat even the situation. On 124 I take the mini-dwarf dwelling and the boots, ramp up Kyrre, and then Vistan is already running out of his town with 3 Angels:smile45: . No money and hardly any troops either — 4 Centaurs, 22 Elves, and some chaff — I decide to get some meat in the hive, a mistake:smile34: . I buy back in and sit waiting for the concession:smile15: .

Thanks for the concession and for the game of course:smile14:

satur (Red, Tower, Nella, Tazar) def mals (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti/Solmyr) 2SM4d(3) 217

I don't even know what to write. The map seemed good (double build, Night Hag), but my opponent got Solmyr, who was beating me up with his chain attack everywhere. I couldn't get rid of this monster, but I eventually took him down (losing a lot of troops, of course). This happened on the day I was already without a capital and stopped a couple of moves away from it. My opponent didn't hesitate to use Ciela to scout me, and then Shakti emerged from the castle with the firm intention of giving me a final beating, but a couple of
morale boosts allowed me to trade favorably, and I escaped with 6 Nagas to a secondary town. There, I bought a few units (just before the plague week ended) and headed back to the capital.
During the siege, there was a funny moment: a Djinn (actually, one Djinn) cast Magic Mirror on a Naga, and it reflected the enemy's lightning spell twice (!!). This was the first time I got any benefit from that spell :D. Well, I did have Expert Ballistics and an Archer with 80 attack and 2 mana points, and I don't think that was the deciding factor, plus I had more troops. I took the castle, and my opponent surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

Decided to play a friendly game with Diman without any rules :smile51: all-random + bright colors, emphasizing the friendly atmosphere of the match. Dima picked 111 and off we went.

Got Shakti and a bonus artifact +1 speed. I notified about it and offered a restart. But got a refusal — so there must be something ;) Upgraded the Troglodytes and started easily smashing everything in my path. On day 113 visited the underground cartographer. Now I can see everything. Galthran and the native computer are revealed... But Shakti wandered too far looking for the cartographer. And then Ciele gives Intelligence in Scholar and Logistics next — mother of all stats!!! At the respawn there's an external dwelling of Medusas. Killed the native computer. On day 117 built Medusas in citadels in both castles + portals + external dwelling. By day 121 I have 46!! Medusas running rampant. The second week passed at some slow pace. Only took a Pandora's Box at the respawn (25 Evil Eyes) and leveled Logistics to Expert. I decide to build the guild — everything for resource searching. On the third week I finish construction: on the 4th floor Clone and Armageddon, and on the 5th — Dimension Door. Tons of mana!!! Too bad no Air. But I get Diplomacy!!! Killing everyone to get it to Expert faster. Meanwhile Shakti storms the computer's castle... But there's a cheater Solmyr, buffed with mana, and he smashes me to pieces :D The computer even hid him upstairs so I couldn't see :D But the map is revealed and I run the optimal route collecting Wyverns! I get Air!!! 4 Dimension Doors :smile44: From there it's simple. Run and gather. I fly to the Dragon Utopias. Galthran appears. I clean out the Dragon Utopias, a short connection, and I attack. My stats are lower, but I have the entire gentleman's set. :D The FF didn't last long, but it was fun. Poor Goshan couldn't hold up. The funny thing is that my entire army could be bought off for 27000. Just hilarious! Diplomacy FOREVER, so a draw! Thanks for the game, Dima, it was fun! ;)

which is what needed to be proven—Galthran is MEGA imba :D considering that of the forbidden things he only used 1 amplifier, while Kostyana was given all possible cheats. Galthran remained the favorite until the last week, and had he been a bit luckier and guessed the direction (where there are 2 Dragon Utopia, Pandora with air, and all the goodies), then even Ciele, who was crushing everything left and right, would have had no chance; but history does not tolerate subjunctive moods :D in the game Kostyana bluffed so much that he put a Chups on his mage fearing Armageddon and Mass Haste from Gosha—while that scoundrel only had Mass Slow and a shooter :D and in the finale Gosha looked quite pathetic under the arrows of 230 medusas and 60 ice lizards
thanks for the game)))

satur (red, Tower, Nella, Tazar) def mals (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti/Solmir) 2SM4d(3) 217
Thanks for the game!

Yes, it was an interesting game. Solmir could have died when he broke through to the secondary Castle with 400 skeletons. Luckily, 8 skeletons remained. He exchanged the skeletons for 6 angels, 200 gremlins, and a couple of nagas.

There should have been at least 600 skeletons, but a couple of hundred were successfully lost in 2 Hive Castles and on a group of nagas.

When I broke through on the 4th week, I thought the opponent was finished. Because I saw his troops - 24 nagas were certainly intimidating, but Solmir gave me hope with 200 mana and a 500-damage lightning spell, and the second hero, Shakti, had stats of 4, 7, 6, 4. Tazar's stats were around 4, 7, 5, 2. After breaking through, Shakti settled in the opponent's Castle with 16 minotaurs, 8 vivas, 11 manticores, and some smaller units. Tazar arrives with 24 nagas and stands in front of the Castle. I start attacking with Ciela, then Solmir attacks with 9 griffin harpies, and the opponent is left with 13 nagas out of 24. Here, I made the main mistake. I didn't retreat from the battlefield, and Solmir died. I thought that was it, I would now finish off Tazar with the Miner, but the opponent bought himself out with 6 nagas and, after a couple of days, attacked the Castle with 60 gremlins, 8 nagas, 9 mages, and a couple of djinn. Shakti has 5 minotaurs, 7 manticores, 9 mages, and 40 mana. He has a bolt spell that deals 160 damage. And then the opponent's djinn cast Mirror Image on the nagas. I thought, let's try 40% anyway, because there was basically nothing else to attack besides the nagas. Well, and the bolt spell flew back and destroyed 3 minotaurs. Tazar was also an expert with ballistae. After that, I lost for the following 3 reasons:
1) Losing the skeletons and Solmir in places where it could have been avoided.
and attacking troops with magic under Mirror Image (hoping it would work). You live and learn.

We took all the rests, the spawn was average, external dwellings of marksmen and pokemons, stables not far from Castle, fast roads, archers built. On the first week I messed up and Turis ran around the whole week without stables =(, end of the week horses with griffins in the Citadel. On the second week I had little money, bought everything only by the end of the week, from the adjacent zone I went into the basement thinking it was the opponent’s main respawn — but it was a treasure zone, and a lousy one at that. Taking a Pandora’s Box with 15 Wizards and 6 Hive creatures, I return home. At the start of the 3rd week, a nagabank on 4, barely manage to buy troops and with mass slow break 2 ГО from Champions, on the last move I siege the opponent’s capital. As it turned out, Roman couldn’t accumulate enough troops for the final fight — 10 gr. Minotaurs was the strongest stack, and 70-80 Troglodytes and Skeletons each. There was no battle. Thanks for the game.
