Pradromalo (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def JuraChub (blue, Fortress, Dessa, Kreg Hack) 2smd4(3) 143

That was a game.
This is my first time. At the start, the troglodytes got lucky and killed my bird, and as a result, the rest of them died too. There were very few crystals. There weren't even enough for behemoths. So I went to see how my opponent was doing and saw that he was doing better than me. I didn't make it to the castle. I was killed on the way and I surrendered. Thanks for the game.

After all the rests and one encounter, we got average paths, good movement on roads, and poor movement off-road. I got 112 gold, bought Lizards and Tactics, and a little later, after scouting a nearby passage to my opponent, I decided to rush. On turn 116, from the lookout, I saw a hidden group of Ducks and barely managed to take them. On turn 121, I maxed out the Skeleton ability, and in the tavern, I bought a Bronze Dragon with 6 Vultures. I positioned myself for an attack before the passage to my opponent. Then, Kirr appeared nearby, which scared me, but she moved in a different direction, so I was safe. On the next turn, I bought what I could afford (10 Ducks, 60+ Gold Lizards, 6 Vultures), and upgraded them with the remaining money. If I had enough, it would have been 16... But I was lucky, I managed to catch Luna, the scout, with almost her entire army. The battle was one-sided, and my opponent, not having enough money to buy out, surrendered. Although, I think that my 16 Vultures, which I could have had on the next turn, plus 10 Ducks, would have completely shut down his 60+ Lizards, and then even Kirr with her entire army would have had a hard time dealing with Vistan. Thank you for the game.

Played Light.

After all my rests...

On the first week - by tradition "my favorite" Uffretin arrived. The road to the 1st secondary is blocked by up to 100 Witches for a Pandora's Box. I have 28 Kents and 13 Elves, so I go to war. I went around the Witches, took a Mini-Gnomnik, where a Stable and an external dwelling of Elves are located, then came out onto the path behind the Witches; I managed to take back the Wood Elf external dwelling, took the Fortress secondary, and the Prison for 19 Gr. Cerberus, who were Moraled twice, however, 3 Dubkov surrounding 13 Elves still didn't break through. I broke into the Prison hoping to get some free Meat for a breakthrough against the 100 witches for Pandora's Box, but there was a Necro and the hope for free or just Meat (no money) for the Witches vanished on its own. Nothing left to do, really wanted to set up a Castle, so after killing the Necro, who managed to peek that there were no more than 80 Witches, I attack with 20 Kents, a Tent and 13 Elves. The Witches still managed to kill 10 Kents; I take Pandora's Box and really want about 5000. But much to my surprise, there turned out to be 25 Grands. At home - 1-6 in the Stronghold.

On the second week - Inferno and Tower secondaries, have Expert Earth and Slow; a Magic Sword was spotted in the Treasury, which is where I headed. Added Castle and another external dwelling of Dubkov.

On the third week - I take the Sword and go to the Dragon Utopia on the secondary with only native troops. It turned out to be Level 3, but 33 Gr. Dubkov held the defense properly (+1000, Resistance Boots and Gladius), meaning I just wasted Troops for nothing. I go to the Treasury, where the Dragon Utopia is right under my nose. I bring in the Swamp Brotherhood and take a Minimal (Shield of All). Here Shakti enters the War Path at the Fortress secondary; Kirry, having obtained Speed Boots, catches up with the invader; I wasn't particularly worried since I had Expert Tactics, however, fears that Shakti would have first speed were justified (had a Cloak +2). Among the troops, the Dangerous Stacks were 25 Minos, the rest was tolerable (6 Scorps, 7 Vivs, 30+ Eyes, 30+ Harpies, 1 Angel).
I have 20 Pegi, 13 Dubkov, 9 Edinovy, 20 Gogo, 20 Besyat, about 90 Grands. On the first move Shakti casts Mass Haste and everyone piles forward, blocking my attacking 90 Grands split into 40+. I was saved by the fact that Minos skipped, and they managed to be Slowed by my Cast. I managed to pull out 40 Grands from the pinch, who on the next turn left 5 Minos. Then Shakti did not retreat and bravely fell on the battlefield.

Thanks to Nikolai for the game!

Wlk777 (red, Swamp, Wystan, Wystan) def AYMAN (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Luna) 2smd4(3) 123

Yes, it turned out to be a rather frustrating defeat. Valentin caught me during a teleport, or rather a scout hero with an army, and I had no money to ransom. Kyrre was already strong, but it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks for the game, I'll try to get a rematch sometime :)

SEM_56 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def RomarioGrom (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2smd4(3) 141
We both took a resource and started pushing; I set a good pace from the beginning (33 marks helped with that). By turn 112, Valeska was level 6 with Earth magic. In the Underground, I blocked the Elves, turned around, and headed in another direction, with a group of Gray Ogres. I attacked a horde of harpies, took a Crypt, and defeated 15 mages to clear the path to my secondary resource. On turn 117, I took my secondary resource and, nearby, a Dwarven Mine at 75 with an upgraded stack. Valeska was level 9 with a Logician, and I had cavalry in the Castle and archers in the Citadel. On turn 122, I took a Naga Temple at 15 with marks and spears, losing 15 spears. I headed into the Underground, taking a small Medusa Lair along the way. In the Underground, there was a lot of easy loot; Sir Myulich was at the Black Market, trading everything for gold. I reinforced my troops and, with 72 marks, 132 spears, 6 cavalry, and a few core Griffins, headed to the Treasury.
Turns 124-127: I defeated 72 Gorgons for the Air magic book, 72 Diamond Golems, and 2 Pandoras for experience and magic. On turn 131, I defeated a pack of Psycho-Elves for a Pandora, and they gave me 50 zombies. I broke through 3 blocks and found myself in the opponent's territory. I took their capital, chased after Shakti, and, in the end, on turn 141, I was standing there without magic. Shakti attacked with 3 Angels, but after the morale of the Marksmen, only 1 Angel remained, and the opponent decided not to continue. Thanks for the game!

It happened.
I saw that Val could have put up a fight in the Castle, but something made me go for 2 defenses, which split the army into 2 non-functional parts!

Thanks for the game!!!

Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Psyche_7 (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.7.

The only good things at the respawn were the minotaur external dwelling and a level-1 conservatory. Very little gold. I only reached the swamp secondary town on week 3 (50–99 elves), and the second path was ГО. I wasn't too keen on running into the snow without a road. So all my hopes were on the minotaurs, but alas, not with these stats.
Thanks for the practice!

On 117 Pasha exits - the game did not proceed, declined auto.
Thanks for the game.

It happened; you have to pay for the risk.

A poor Respawn appeared, and on top of that a specialist in Harpies, whom I reset once, but he came back again.
I kept trying to take the Red external dwelling for under 100 Orcs. I leveled up Tactics, opened 3 Treasure Chests to buy 3 Dragons, but 80 Orcs with 3 Morale procs proved my thinking wrong. Then I replayed it; even without Morale, 82 Troglodytes and 21 Harpies killed no more than 70 Orcs. A frustrating mistake that I couldn't calculate the forces correctly.

Thanks for the game!

AYMAN (red, Tower, Aine, Kyrre) def Skuns (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 2sm4d(3), 137

Big snow respawn, decent money, Nagas in Stronghold's home, secondary is Swamp (there are Wyverns in the fort).

On the second money pickup, secondary is Rampart (external dwelling of Elves and they are also in the fort).

On the third, max Griffin Conservatory, three Hives at (8-6-4) and a break through into Rampart, where Crag Hack is already wandering. I was thinking of taking the Dragon Utopia, but why if Crag Hack is within reach. I attack and win without any issues thanks to a big advantage in meat.

Thanks for the game!!!!!!!!!!!

Confirmed

The external dwelling for birds near the castle on the first month didn't work out; I gave up all the meat for passes to secondary towns. The treachery was that artillery simply wouldn't appear, but I got expert logistics on day 3) and advanced earth at the end of the week. Bears were stationed in the fort. The secondary Tower hero picked up 3 crypts and all the minimals along the way. On the second (month) two dwarf dwellings of 20. I broke through a passage to the Rampart secondary with the loss of 1 thunderbird, then played stupidly until the end of the week — there was no money. At the start of the third (month) I broke through to the winter respawn of the blue player, took the capital, killed a weak hero while checking the consulate — it turned out to be max. After leveling up earth magic, gritting my teeth, I decided to push through, but then came the news of the surrender.
Thanks for the game.

AYMAN (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def evil romantic (red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) 2sm4d(3), 116

Took the 115th native secondary town and was preparing to break through to the Swamp; the generation turned out to be flawed, so I would have gone to Roman's respawn point.

But Roman, on his last legs, decided to break through the diamond golems and go for a rest encounter, but it didn't work out (1 golem remained alive).

Thank you for the quick victory!

AYMAN (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def zloy_romantik (red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) 2sm4d(3), 116
Confirmed. No rest, the respawn point was indeed some kind of zigzag, I still don't understand where...:( I saw Kirr, decided to set up a rest point by attacking - I attacked the golems, but before that, I cleared the pegasus on the entrance to the metro, and there was a horde of archers :( , these were the ones that caused the losses, in the end, I was left with 1!!!!! golem......:smile18:

The respawn point was poor, but they gave me Cyelle, and she ran with the gnomes to bomb everyone, while Kiryukha went along the rough road.
In the first round, I placed horses with a Castle, in the second, two secondary units from Dungeon and Necropolis. Kirr takes several Pandora boxes in the treasure.
At the beginning of the fourth round, the opponent runs to the treasure where Kirr was, and at that time, she takes a Utopia with a +5 sword. I replenish mana and attack the rushing Shakti.
The parameters are 20, the chances are slim.
Thank you for the game.

Looser (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Айвенго (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2smd4(3) 147

That happened. Having all the chances to win, he made a mistake by splitting his troops. He already had an expert earth skill, and he just needed to level up his expert fire skill a bit. Of course, with five angels and three dragons against Kirr, there were no chances at all.
Thank you for the game!
