temofey (blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) def Wlk777 (red, Swamp, Wystan, Wystan) 2sm4d(3) 133
Average gold, but Mephala came with 3 elves and an external dwelling of elves, I clear all crypts and 1 dwarf dwelling on day 15, so the economy is good, 1-6 in the castle, on week 2 secondary skills Tower and Citadel, the treasure zone path is far, 2 Griffin Conservatories on weeks 2 and 3, so I buy the growth on 131 and run to ГО (horde of bone dragons, checked without upgrades I can break it easily, didn't get Earth magic), but the opponent surrendered...

Too bad, there were excellent chances, external dwellings of sprites and cows with building them on the first in the capital, at the start of week 2 two level-2 Griffin Conservatories, I had a feeling I should have rushed through the snow, and I already had Pathfinding, scouting revealed the road to the opponent is short, if only I had known the reveal (... but stupidly I barged into the treasure zone, there I first attacked with 4 angels and 1 red dragon from an external dwelling of ogres, didn't check how many there were, and there were about 120 of them, result -2 angels and a dragon.. Frustrated, I decided to take a non-max Dragon Utopia, but the ability of 18 black cows worked poorly :( . On replay I took it with half the army lost... I clearly shouldn't have gone into that Dragon Utopia at all, especially since there wasn't really anything there, Gladius and Blackshard. Too bad it turned out this way, could have been an interesting finale :(
Thanks for the game.
P.S. At least you correctly named Mephala, because in my version of SoD translation and in some reports they write Mephala, slackers, then a TV PHilips should also be called PHilips :D

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kyrr, Kyrr) def wowa (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.5.

Played in TE-Lite.

No own caches, and no Cons either, neither at home nor at the secondary town (except for Dwarves).

On the first week - got 3 free Elves, the wood mine is far, but found 2 piles of wood and Elvises are here. The Castle secondary town is behind 30+ Elementals and 20 Greater Demons. On 1.1.7., I manage to settle in my own secondary town before 49 Water Elementals with a Greater Stack. Shield +3. In the home town 1-6 in the Castle, in the secondary - Elves.

On the second week - thanks to Markets in 3 Castles I buy up, take 3 Mead Halls, in Treasury a Hive for 6 Vivs, but another Hive presented a surprise in the form of guards: 120 Vamps with a Greater Stack of 20+, guarding a cloak +5% Resist. There was no Slow, so I left 2 Horses and 4 Vivs on them. Took the Maxi-Dwarf hold in Treasury.

On the third week - since I found nothing good in Treasury, I broke into a secondary town, took a Dragon Utopia-Two (Helmet +10 Mana and +3 to All). Then took Vladimir's Necro-secondary, knocking 2 Sneaks out of the chain. I'm happy about the Dragon Utopia at the Necro secondary, however not for long, as it is behind a Barrier; lost only 2 days on it.

On the fourth week - heading to the Capital by scouting the Land through the Underground, here Shakti appears half a day from the Main town, I break in and attack.
Vladimir pays off and capitulates.

Thanks for the game!

Happy New Year to everyone!!!))))

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def wowa (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.5

I confirm))

My opponent immediately took 2 res, I had everything fine, but immediately either 4 or 5 roads, but no conservatories, no caches, i.e. nothing to do at the respawn, and running forward meant risking the res on an encounter and time
I took 113, for which I was punished:
111 underground, 3 stacks, their upgrade, Dwarf Cottage 15, +1000 exp, 5 heroes
112 Evil Eye, the only road up to the ГО, reluctantly I beat a horde of golems for a beehive, 6 heroes
113 Medusas, through the beehive in transit to Pandora's Box for a Log of Magma, 5K exp there, immediately a Naga Bank: a Miner of 9th(!!!) level – Earth, Log, Armor :) Luna under the castle with Evil Eyes, Medusas, and the remnants of her starting army beats a horde of wolves at the lift, above is a horde of Magogs
114 Luna uses the remnants of her mana to beat the guards of the Imp dwelling and without mana – clears it (20 each, if there were more, not a fact that she would have taken it, now 5 Mercury!))) Labetha with the purse from the Miner defends a log, which makes things a total mess: in the native there are now cats, everything is bought up and carted to the Miner in the beehive: +8 geese minus cat and Medusas, the Evil Eyes survived: they were hitting Troglodytes at the end :( but 10th level! :)
115 Miner runs empty to the Magogs, Labetha tries to break through to the logs (the log mine got twisted so that I couldn't recapture it until the end of the game)) the rest form a chain between them
116 Miner is above! winter :(
117 through a crypt in the snow (all 3 there later turned out to be minimal)) we see beyond the mountains a fort-tower and a piece of road, we start to bypass from below
week: cats in the castle with mushrooms
2nd week – the complete opposite of the 1st
122 – we ran to it: a log mine, a dead end! :D (actually, the far log was blocking the exit to the light diagonally! but to see that, we had to take more steps in the snow – and at that time Way had already run away above the mountains from above – I think he'll find the passage, and Miner will sit a night in the tavern)))
123 Miner through the crypt (by tradition min.)) returns the purse and breaks through with the remaining moves, a chain from the lift and from the snow to Way
124 mountains rise in front of Way with an army – to bypass, that means moving away from the support tower who knows how far, so Miner only buys out at home, spell book, upgrade of Harpies, the chain bends back to the base
125 we run through the scorched earth, in the castle we buy an extra freebie so the chain makes it, even though there was a gold strain all week due to doing nothing
126 through Miner the army is transferred to the collector, and – hurray!!! – the secondary finally
127 – and finally into battle: 9 Chaos Hydras in 7 stacks for 2 boxes (there is a scroll of Word, but Earth is only advanced – nothing leveled up in a week) then already with oil dogs for a shield +4, while also running into this treasure zone, I didn't touch the roadside lift to avoid being spotted – by these deadlines ГО should already be beaten anyway)))) but all the time after that I sat under the threat of cutting off my supply line, which at the very last moment happened ;)
3rd week: treasure zone is stale – no Dragon Fly Hives, no conservatories, no caches, of which there hasn't been a single one so far, and I haven't seen any! mana is running out – I decide to leave already, but black rags guard a Torso +4 to magic – I attack: 6 by 27, can't crush immediately, the rest of the mana goes to waste – and immediately above – a horde of logs for a shield all by 4! I go in without geese with singles, cats, Evil Eyes and Troglodytes – and the logs are upgraded (hard to tell by sight ;))) speed 4, not 3, the trick doesn't work, a wall came at me :D but I crawled out with over a hundred Troglodytes
dispersal for mana, I build as many as 2 chains there: from the treasure zone and from home :) because of this, nothing arrives the next turn, but Miner is near the lift up into the treasure zone, and the chains are just right for him
but then as usual Kyrre appears and breaks 2 links! Miner's only road now is through the snowdrifts via the conservatory found by the noobs to look for another treasure zone, another dispersal
a kamikaze Labetha with the remnants of Troglodytes and geese runs into Kyrre's rear – the task is to distract Kyrre with the purse to the kill: he saw the utopia, but not the barrier to it – let him trample around for a couple more days)))
and so it happened, week 4: Miner took a level-2 conservatory and emerged onto the grass – only it looks like not enough for a treasure zone :( I run to the red mine, and already want to surrender – the bugged snows even have an exit through off-road to both starting respawns!!! but I see Kyrre heading for my capital – even if there's a chain there, he probably broke away, and there shouldn't be enough moves for transfer-dispersal-reach – so let's tickle his rear while he pulls his army out of my thickets ;) but the path through the Necropolis turned out not long, but short through the left lift and everything was enough – GG, thanks to the opponent for the game :)

conclusions: if you find the only road to the ГО on an SM for 3 days – give a free res according to the rules (on the portal the deadlines are longer, but imho not worth it)))

temofey(red, Rampart, mefala, mefala) def Wlk777(blue, dungeon, shakhti, shakhti) 2sm4d(3) 143
The distribution was decent, but there was practically no money; on the first zone, I barely managed 1-6 in the citadel. The respawn is large but confusing, secondary resources at 114, 2 unique nicknames—1 on the first, and I only reclaimed the second one on the second ((
at 125 I reclaim the consulate on day 3, then over 3 days another 3 consulates; in total 11 angels. In the underworld, I searched for the passage to the treasure zone for a long time; there is a Dragon Utopia, I take it on 137, there's a forbidden sphere, glad tit, and a kettle +6. With growth delivery, blue has no chance in the Castle without magic. Mefala has a couple of ry 27 18 10 10 and 10 ang 30 uniques 25 dendr 8 viv and nearly 50 elves...
thanks for the game...

temofey(red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) def Wlk777(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 143

Done. 4 throngs of Griffin Conservatories, 2 external dwellings of uniques, a Chainer, Gladius, and a red orb (not bad from one Dragon Utopia :) ) left the opponent no chance, although at first things were going well — by turn 127 Shakti was already level 16... Spent time scouring the nearest treasure zone, and it turned out to be very poor — not a single Dragon Fly Hive, no Dragon Utopias, of course the only relic — Admiral's Hat for devils. In short, a total flop :) , thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirry, Kirry) def Wlk777 (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.4.

On the first week - after all my rests, Ufretin arrived, but there is an Elves external dwelling. Took Castle and Necro secondary buildings in the Underworld, a couple of Crypts. At home 1-6 in Castle, without 2. Not a single Griffin Conservatory was given on any of the 3 Resps. Also took Kents' external dwelling.

On the second week - Mini Medusa nest, that's it, money buildings ended on all 3 Resps. Went to Inferno Treasury via Necro secondary.

On the third week - found 2 Dragon Utopia there, but no money to buy out and bring in troops. Still stuck there for now, as I don't want to leave either. Took Library, 2 empty Pandora's Boxes with Magic, one of which gave Water up to level 2. Recovered Gold Mine and Art +1000. Bought everything from Rampart and levels 1-2 from Castle, took Mini Dragon Utopia (Black Ball).

On the fourth week - took Level 3 Dragon Utopia (Boots of Levitation, Necklace +3 to all, Water Cloak). Then took Level 2 Dragon Utopia at Castle secondary (Air Cloak, Shield for All). Then decided to grab a bit from Valentin's Treasury (thanks for giving Air Cloak), managed to take 2 Dragon Utopias there (Fire Cloak, Earth Cloak, Helmet for All, Black Ball again and Red Ball). Took 2 Unique external dwellings there, and Pandora gave 25 Grands.

On the fifth week - took one more Dragon Utopia there (Titan's Armor and Helmet +4+4), Earth Boost. Valentin somehow flies in and almost reaches the Empty Capital. TP to Rampart, I attack. Valentin has 15 Speed, in the first round I catch an Explosion on Elves (-half), my turn, slow down, kill 3 Angels out of 14, then Valentin pays off around 70000, I follow him. Take Stronghold secondary, settled there by the Stronghold. Valentin attacks himself with an Explosion for 1500, mine was for 3300, victory.

Thanks to Valentin for the game!

He got a good +5 all-stats sword and a blue cap from 4 creatures, and his opponent also got much better loot from 4 creatures. It's a shame, thanks for the game.

02.01.2010 Shamys (Castle,Orrin,Christian) def ReneDekart (necro,Aislin,Charna) 73 2sm4d(3) SOD

The game was not easy; the opponent kept me in constant tension. In the secondary area, they developed Mage Guild to level 5 and it paid off, as there were a mountain portal and an explosion spell, although knowledge was scarce and always lacking. However, the town portal saved me: when the opponent came to my town and then headed for the secondary area, I teleported there. He tried to storm it but failed. Afterward, I managed to take the Dragon Utopia which contained the Speaker's Hat; with the money earned, I upgraded my angels. The opponent was standing not far from the Castle, apparently waiting for troops; I didn't give him that chance and attacked myself, winning without losses. The opponent surrendered))))

Thanks for the game!!!

Please format the report header according to the template.

I don't know how to properly document this, but please consider it not so much a victory for my opponent, but rather my loss, since he doesn't want to acknowledge such a victory – just lower my rating. In short: KostyaN (red, Castle, Valeska, Vidomina:D :D :D :D) LOST to Hermit (blue, Inferno, Pyrrhus, Pyrrhus), 111, 2cm4d (3). There were many archers, but Vidomina's unupgraded ones were blocked by vampires and sorceresses in the dungeon and GG. HOW TO TAKE DUNGEONS WITHOUT UPGRADES, SO AS NOT TO LOSE MOMENTUM?:confused: For those who conduct battles well – a task: a hero 1-0 without magic, 25-30 simple archers, 20-23 creatures + their level 1 units – how to take dungeons with vampires?... P.S. And most importantly: what is the probability of building a level 2 structure on turn 111??? Why, with 5-6 attempts, it is often built 1-2 times for me, but this time it didn't happen at all – NOT EVEN ONCE?..... Is it really not 50%?

Lider1 (red, fortress, Tazar, Kyrre) draw Vmn2009 (blue, stronghold, Kreg, Kreg) Jebus Cross 144

The first draw in my practice that I decided to post.

We played in two sessions, managed to find time on the 31st to finish it -)

The slow roads were a pain, but we don't care, we play. Kyrre in the tavern, I understand with my mind that he is more profitable, but I can't refuse Tazar. After long mental torment, I pick Kyrre.

Captured a secondary dungeon. Opened another secondary (also dungeon), but didn't take it — the scout hero didn't have troops. Built 1-7 in the citadel. And the respawn is not great for Jebus, an external dwelling of wyverns and basilisks. From the start, the external dwellings of gnolls helped of course. 2 beehives not far from the road. Three Griffin Conservatories, two of which are in deep swamp, and one Dragon Utopia. Basically nothing else.

121 beehive for 6 wyverns
122 another beehive — mini ((. Upgraded them at home.
123 Griffin Conservatory, a three without magic, crashed and burned. Same turn, broke into the castle and bought a spellbook.
124 running to the Griffin Conservatory in the swamp. One is a minimum (didn't waste moves on it) and the second is a tronk.
125 took it — a two (. And I stand at a Dragon Utopia (1-2).
126 the establishment with 5 angels, 20 gr. wyverns, 2 hydras, and a glutton took it without problems (mini). From the useful, a necklace +3 defense. Break into the secondary dungeon and double the mana.
127 The problem of these two weeks is solved, in three guilds, shrines, and scrolls I just can't find slow! Finally, a scout hero finds the scroll! Well, just a precious scout! (I need to beat the Guardian Object somehow!) With Kyrre, I break back home, the neutrals were far away, so I had to run through the swamp with a centaur, but I left home already on an angel.

131 Kyrre camps near the Guardian Object with 300 movement points in reserve. And the scout heroes with the growth didn't make it to him :D
132 I kill the Guardian Object (horde of Black Dragons), also a horde of upgraded Gorgons, who morale in battle and in turn kill two hydras with their death stare, oh I was so mad as hell, but that's why I love SoD, (for the emotions damn :D) then I take the Sword of Judgement behind 16 gr. bears.
133 Freebie. Kyrre kills a bunch of hydras for wings!! and a chest with 6 hydras! Took a beehive for 8 and rushed to a three Dragon Utopia, there: Boots of Levitation, a bag of gold, the Book of Fire, and a helmet +10
134 with the little wings I fly to another Dragon Utopia. To avoid cluttering the battle stacks, I wait for some meat to be brought (only 200 moves left). The scouts at this moment reveal a tree and the Book of Air behind a horde of Black Dragons, as well as the edge of a helmet +6 defense guarded by who knows what. Oh for crying out loud! It was already around half past three in the morning, Kreg's stats were looking weak, so I decided I'll just go for it without serious magic support.
135 took the minimum. And there's a Medal of Vulnerability, and gloves! Killed another beehive for 8 wyverns. And flew over to the opponent's respawn, I look and there's another Dragon Utopia, and it looks like it hasn't been taken ) well good, I think it compensates for what I missed on my side.
136 I take it, again Sea Boots means, but there's a Gladius and a Cloak of Abdication.
137-143 after running through the opponent's respawn, I STUPIDLY KILLED TIME, but doubled my mana and realized my idiotic idea of not acquiring magic and not even taking the Town Portal. Then at least with jump it would have been easier to find the opponent's castle.

143 Blue dispelled my doubts about my stats and army strength! Kreg attacked

In short, first round, I cast slow, on the bears a resist triggered! I remove the backlash with a dragonfly, but I didn't think that I could be slowed too, and that's what happened. Bears wait, they shoot a bit, there were 14 of them. On their turn, they hit my 25 gr. wyverns and get a luck proc, that's when I fully felt the difference between Kyrre and Tazar! They were simply gone! And the next turn, my hydras were gone!! Right-right, time to run!! Very, very foolishly I didn't take Town Portal and came without serious magic!!

One turn later Kyrre would have been like this and with an implosion for 4500 damage specially for those damn bears!!!, but my internet started dropping (the network from the phone is overloaded, unfortunately today is the same) we reloaded about 5 times. And we decided to let it be PEACE!

Thanks for the game!

wariator (red, Swamp, Tazar) def Quell (blue, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3),211. On the first week, only levels 1,2,3,4,6 were built, albeit in the Castle! A bit unfortunate that the hydras and bulls didn't come about due to sulfur! But oh well, the overview reveals 2 Dragon Fly Hives and one Griffin Conservatory on the neighboring respawn — already not bad. First, I took the Dragon Fly Hives for 6 from the tree! Then the Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels! Next, I activated the teleport, which threw Tazik into a paradise! Four compactly placed Dragon Fly Hives and several Pandora's Boxes! I quickly gobble everything up! In the end, by day 141, I scraped together 51 ducks! Tazik is happy, because try to kill them on him without strong magic! Next, I decided to upgrade the ducks and hit the ГО! On day 145, I break 160 Wizards with an army of 2 angels, 51 monarchs, 30 flies, 16 wasps! Managed to lose 29 flies and 4 monarchs despite having mass slow and tactics! Didn't reach the opponent's Castle! The following turn, I take the Castle guarded by a specialist with a ballista! Killed an angel — eternal memory! Valka is apparently wandering somewhere — I'm waiting at the Castle! On day 117, Valka emerges and runs towards a scouted Griffin Conservatory not far from the Castle! But Tazik is cunning and managed to boost Logistics, thus overtaking Valka, who hadn't quite made it, and grabs the Conservatory for 4 angels! The following year, Valka runs towards the Castle! Tazik catches up and kills! Thanks for the game!

2 hidden manticores, I bought them on the first day, but due to lack of funds, I changed my mind about placing cats on the first day, as I had nothing to buy them with for growth. My secondary castle is blocked with 50+ marks (guarding 4 resources and cyclops) - I was afraid to attack them all at once, then I had other plans... On the second day, I went off-road, and the Necropolis's secondary castle was established, and it started to expand, breaking through the passage to the metro below, leading to the red castle... And then I received a message about a loss in the Conflux 3, thanks for the game.

It' same a pity the opponent surrendered at 123 and declined the auto-win. The distribution seemed pretty good for both of us; I had 4 hives, Dragon Utopia, and 2 external dwellings of lizards on my respawn. By the time it ended, I already had 12 defense, mass earth magic, boots of speed, and Log was coming next turn... Thanks for the game, too bad...
