Posts from "Might vs. Magic"

Damn, I somehow agreed with Redwait for the 3rd round. Okay, I'm slow, but two matches at once?:eek: What's with all these re-draws and changes? I didn't understand anything, I thought SEM was joking...

I haven't had a computer for 3 days, it was being repaired. Starting tomorrow evening, I'll be playing with everyone, whoever I happen to find online...

It was my mistake - there were different draws in two posts. This is because the first post was long and wasn't edited, and I didn't notice. I apologize. I haven't seen you online for a long time, so I couldn't warn you; the others were aware.

Don't play with everyone at once - play with Roma first, and then with Redwait right away - he has a session starting at 11. I've given both of you a 0, so you don't need to play.

Vlk - Scorpion - I've given them 0.5 each (they were honestly just killing time, couldn't connect, and each asked me to give them the win).

Erdem - Mizrael played to a draw, I've recorded it.

I wasn't aware of the Cobra - Aldegyr match, he wasn't there when I was doing the draw, but I won't change anything - there aren't enough options for who Avernu will play. I won't give him Scorpion =)

Everything seems fine, good luck to everyone, I'm going to play with the noobs

gave Necro. Started without restarts!!!! On the first turn I immediately found all resources, lots of money, broke through to the barb respawn, but there right in front of the castle were 50+ Elves for a Sword +6 and 50+ Magma elementals for a Hat +5 (as it turned out later, there were also 10+ Death Knights for Shackles). I turned around, started messing around, running to upgrade huts. Built Nagas in the fortress, took 2 stacks of Grems. On day 121 upgraded Gargoyles, cleared the road of Storms, aiming to take out 100+ Elves. Air magic wasn't offered, took Intelligence. Lightning Bolt at 350 already.
On day 124 killed 76 Elves + 38 Grand Elves for a Sword with losses of 40 Grems and trash (5 Air Elementals, 3 Water Elementals, about 5 Golems, Gargoyles). On day 125 killed the Magma elementals. Through the broken road Gosh appears and heads towards my capital. We take the barb, split up to the main, give control and wait for Gosh's moves.
On day 126 Gosh doesn't leave, attacks Brissa, losing 2 Liches out of 7 to the shooters, then for some reason assaults the castle. 25 Vampires, 5 Liches, and 240 Skeletons. The Snowy brothers win confidently.
Thanks for the game.
P.S Gosh a cheater? No, Solmyr is a cheater! I personally get more and more convinced of this with every game. Unless you get completely screwed, which, by the way, happens extremely rarely with the Snowy respawn — then it just pounds away like crazy!!!

That was a game. I don't know how to play Necropolis. With the troops I had and without magic, I could have won with the native units of any castle on week 2. Thanks for the game.

Erdem (Blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Van (Red, Tower, Solmir, Solmir) 2sm4d(3), 115

Took 1 rest due to Go through rough terrain.
The second time, the map was better: slow roads, no lizards built, and a tavern with Gervulf. :) One road leads to the metro, but I didn't go there because it's unknown what's on the other side. There's a hut nearby with a pathfinding option. I went east, took a stash of wasps and a scouting unit (it turned out there wasn't that much gold, but there's a resource point slightly north of the capital, and the second road leads to a GO (cavalry), and the third leads to my own second-tier town through the Kentaur horde). On day 2, Tazar speeds up near the Kentaur, the units defend against sulfur and gold, I scouted out the locations of bulls and lizards, a forest with 20-49 ogres, and artifacts that give bonuses to units of level 3 and 5. On day 3, I break through the Kentaur, and on day 4, I take 2 necropolises and my own second-tier town, buy Christian there, take another necropolis, and there's a second resource point nearby. I was going to check it out the next day, but Ivan lost his army somewhere, and I declined the offered auto-play. Thanks for the game and the time!

It was a good game, thanks for playing.

KobRa (red, Tower, Solmyr, Solmyr) def Aldegir (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) @2sm4d(3) on 117
Played perfectly for 6 turns, messed up on the 7th. Instead of entering the city with built and unbought horses to finish the game, he got distracted and ran into the arena... Aldegir bought them and attacked, but due to a poor connection, the battle couldn't take place. The analysis showed that even if red loses this battle, their arrival on 122-123 with 100 mana and a 437-damage teapot is inevitable, and there's no way to counter it.
Thanks for the game!

That's correct! I discovered a program to replace Hamachi - Leaf... the ping clearly increased, and the connection was established... but there's still a bug with attacking the opponent's hero or my hero... it sometimes doesn't show. As for the game... thanks for the game... it's a pity that the guests arrived too early. :)

Oh well... it didn't really help. So, does that mean my replacement is no longer needed?

Javdet (Blue, Necropolis, Tant, Tant) def SEM_56 (Red, Swamp, Wistan, Taz) 2sm4d(3), 127

Quite a rough start; for some reason, he took an artifact instead of resources and ended up without stone. Brogh eventually found the necessary resources for the liches, and things got easier after that. Liche dwellings in the Fortress. On turn 121, I aimed to check the consumption – it was minimal, just right. Back home for mana and then to the second console for 50-99 gold for golems. To do this, I upgraded the liches and built a tent. After breaking through, I still had enough mana for 2 Animate Dead spells, so I decided to take the risk and go for a Stronghold – a level 3 one, but I stupidly lost the liches. I went upstairs and saw some activity. Right in front of me, Taz took a mini-hive. Then, the defeat.
After the game, I realized that I fought almost all the neutral creatures with Tant.

Thanks for the game.

I couldn't do anything, thanks for the game!!!

KostyaN (red, Tower, Solmyr, Kirr) def redwhait (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 8mm6, 115.

We restarted a lot, mostly due to level 5 mobs, meeting points, slow roads, etc. The opponent took two of his own (external dwellings), I took none (there were spawns: 1 - boots on 112, 2nd - 8 heroes and 11000 left over on 112 :rolleyes: , ehh...).

111. Can't spread out right away: some small fast bastards blocked the only exit from the castle, I scare them off with Solmyr - forget it, they might lose morale anyway, I hit 50 harpies with a safety net of capping them, and right away - an unreal gift, a WELL :smile02: - then I mow down to 50 hobbits for an external dwelling of gremlins for 1 gargoyle and 1 gremlin, only 4 heroes total - due to inconvenient spreading and minimum gold at the doorstep...

112. Respawn candy :rolleyes: : there are also 2 external dwellings of gargoyles, 2 of genies (both along the high-speed route with pseudo-guards :) ), 2 crypts, a free teleport behind the fiends; I heroically hit a horde of butterflies with Solmyr - with gremlins as the 1st stack, almost paid for it! Morale in the 1st round on upgraded 40+, but they only blocked, Phew, that was close; Fiona takes a crypt for 2000, runs to the 2nd one, captures the external dwelling of gargoyles.

113. 5 vampires with their "backup dancers" gave a necklace +1 to speed :eek: and 2500, I buy 2 more riders (1 of which is KIRR :smile51: ! he ends up in front of the teleport), I estimate the resources - decent amount, enough for genies without trades.

114. Kirr goes into the teleport to the underground, immediately picks up the GAUNTLETS for 20 inferno dogs there and kills some other small fry for gold and for leveling... I run to the 1st external dwelling behind the mummies (at least I'll level up, otherwise all the guards are pathetically weak :( ), messed up a bit with movement on the map, causing Solmyr to lose a few moves :mad: .

115. I take 2 genies from the external dwelling, because I simply didn't have enough money for the 3rd one that day, the roaches reveal another external dwelling of gremlins and an external dwelling of nagas behind thieves :eek: , just crazy :smile23: , I run to the 2nd external dwelling of genies - in theory I could have also taken the nagas on day 1 :) and maybe even cleared another passage for lizards up to 50, money was also accumulating slowly - I generally can't remember such a setup for Tower, but the opponent had some bad luck with the spawn...

Thanks for the attempt!

KostyaN (red, Tower, Solmyr, Kyrre) def redwhait (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 8mm6, 115.

We restarted a lot, mostly due to level 5s, meeting, slow roads, etc. Opponent took 2 of his, I took none (there were distributions: 1 - boots on 112, 2nd - 8 heroes and 11000 leftover on 112:rolleyes:, ehh...).

111. No rush from the start: some small fast freaks blocked the only exit from the castle, I scare them off with Solmyr - forget it, they might lose morale, I hit 50 harpies with backup from the catapult, and right away - an unreal gift, a WELL:smile02: - then I mow down up to 50 hobbits for an external dwelling of caps for 1 gargoyle and 1 cap, only 4 heroes total - due to the awkward scouting and minimal gold at the doorstep...

112. Respawn candy:rolleyes:: there are also 2 external dwellings of gargoyles, 2 djinns (both along the fast track and with pseudo-guards:) ), 2 crypts, a free teleport behind devils; I hit the butterfly horde with Solmyr in a fancy way - with caps as 1 stack, for which I almost paid! morale in round 1 greased 40+, but they only blocked, Phew, dodged it; Fiona takes a crypt for 2000, I run to the 2nd, I capture the external dwelling of gargoyles.

113. 5 vamps with their "backup dancers" gifted a necklace +1 to speed:eek: and 2500, I buy 2 more riders (1 of whom is KYRRE:smile51:! he ends up in front of the teleport), I estimate resources - decent, enough for djinns without trades.

114. Kyrre goes into the teleport to the underground, immediately takes GLOVES there for 20 inferno dogs and kills some other small fry for gold and exp... I run to the 1st external dwelling behind mummies (at least I'll level up, or all guards are dead weak as if on purpose:( ), I messed up a bit with movement on the map, causing Solmyr to lose several moves:mad:.

115. I take 2 djinns in the external dwelling, because there simply wasn't enough gold for the 3rd that day, cockroaches reveal another external dwelling of caps and an external dwelling of nagas behind thieves:eek:, just insane:smile23:, I run to the 2nd external dwelling of djinns - in theory, I could also have picked up nagas on the 1st:) and maybe even break another passage behind the lizards before 50, gold was also trickling in slowly - I don't remember such a setup for Tower in general, but the opponent had some bad luck with distribution...

Thanks for the attempt!

I'll be brief.
Thanks for the game.

Ah, well... it didn't really help. So, does that mean my replacement is no longer needed?

Who knows? It seems there haven't been any signals yet.

SEM_56 (red, Bog, Wystan, Wystan) def KostaN (blue, Tower, Solmyr, Crag Hack) 2SM4d(3) 127
We took a couple of restarts. First week I hang around my spawn, grab a basilisk niche, a couple of crypts, 1-6 in the Citadel..
On day 121 I hit 15 cats, take a mini hive, break through to the Inferno secondary, grab it. On day 124 I take the max hive for 40 Archmages. Breakthrough to the capital, I break through 30 Snipers in the underground. Kosta writes that he messed up quite a bit, I saw that from the overview. We decided not to continue, thanks for the time!!!

Decided not to continue, thanks for the time!!!

111. 4 heroes, no money at all as always, but I have Crag, a hut with Estate, the overview shows: an external dwelling of caps, a passage to a teleport behind the earth elementals, and various less significant crap like +3 to KS behind the storm giants (never took it before resigning:smile32: ...), a fairly convenient well by the way.

112. I look and for some reason there are 67 caps out of 82 on the save:D, well our "illustrious" mage "tried hard", breaking through 20+ marks:smile18: :smile10: - and the main question is why? For a lousy chest and a bunch of resources:mad: - it was probably impossible to break them worse:rolleyes: ... Crag is just stomping around on the stat boosters.

113. since with 67 caps it's better not to charge into the stack of earth elementals, we wait for reinforcements from the external dwelling... unreal problems with ore began - construction is already on the verge of collapse:(, and those earth elementals blocked off access to the mine, dammit!!

114. the earth elementals fall very beautifully, without losing even a crappy tier 1:) , but behind them are air elementals on the grass and naturally with upgraded ones and they moralize every other turn (just kidding:D, but they really hit so hard as if they were moralizing :smile40: - emerged with 72 caps and 8 golems), we run to the only crypt hoping for who knows what:rolleyes:, construction ALREADY fell through, I took Ramp - maybe we'll build it...

115. the crypt on the grass turned out to be max, I had to feed all the golems to the undead:smile18: , in short 66 blues survived, but now I have 6 heroes, I'm inserting elves in the Ramp, a market at home.

116. I see 2 external dwellings of dwarves: well when there's no fish, even a dwarf is a strike stack:D, especially since Crag still has something after all and they also gave him Luck, and the strike of lower levels with luck is just awesome:smile25: ...

117. in short the army in the end: 66 caps, 7 grand elves, 24 dwarves and various tier 1s:smile04: , the build is simply chic: 1-3, 1-3 in the citadel, I continue playing purely out of interest, whether I can get out of such a mess at all:rolleyes: ?.. there was also an external dwelling of tier 1s with a +2 cloak, but the guard is clearly not for my 2nd week, let alone the 1st:o ...

121. I buy out grand elves, clean up the grass for money behind neutral small fry, a mistake in skill choice - I took Earth, although I already had basic Air (and both Haste and Slow were available), here I want to recall the saying about two birds:), there are 2 hometown heroes sitting in the tavern - not bad, but for now there's no money to buy both...

122. maneuvers, I build dwarf upgrade.

123. easily beat around 40 wasps for an Earth booster, with 54 beautiful white ones;) , then the path runs into a stack of genies on the snow and clearly not a minimal one, I turn around... I'm leveling up on the gr. centaurs for now, send the dad hero on foot for the book - money situation is really bad:( I myself build chains to send Solmyr deep into the snow to the only crypt on the native respawn.

124. I divided the troops into snow and non-snow units, a crazy thought came to send at least a junk hero into the treasure zone with the Ramp brothers alone:rolleyes: ...

125. everything is very slow, the dad hero already has the book, but skips, because both halves of the army are acting independently for now, Gervulf level 1 got into the treasure zone and killed 70 boars for 2 tier 1s, Solmyr didn't have enough moves to reach the crypt, I'm directing Crag towards the +4 shield behind the gr. wasps and a possible exit from the respawn by wasteland...

126. the crypt is a damn 2000:( , I also decided to kill the sprites for the Griffin Conservatory and a campfire, grandly divided the caps, and these bastards became one stack of 100+ - I decided to blast them and somehow blasted in such a way that it also hit my blues:smile40: for about 15 heads (damn I forgot how to use chain lightning, jeez:smile18: ), in a camp captured yesterday by Gerych - spearmen:smile18: , in despair he attacks a maximum horde of griffins for junk and emerges with 11 grand elves and 34 dwarves:smile18: , Crag took the shield from the wasps, but what to do next - complete dead end, there's simply nowhere to go, everything that gave money has been eaten, I decided not to drag it out, since Roma already has at least 2 Hives taken, the Griffin Conservatory is also visible from the overview, while mine is just min; even the tier 1s wouldn't have saved me, although they were being forced in on 127:) .

Thanks!

Who knows :) Haven't seen any signals yet.

I don't know, guys... I'm swamped with schoolwork, exams are coming up, I need to buckle down. I owe misantrop a game. We started, but judging by the beginning, I'll be struggling for a while, but I probably won't be able to finish it. So, if no one objects, I'd be happy if someone could sub in for me in this game.
