Looser (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Dima Surmay (red, Galthran, Galthran) 2smd4(3), 216
A very poor respawn both native and secondary Inferno in the underground, but saw three cons and a Dragon Utopia and started playing.
Sat without money for two weeks, on the third week sold everything, took the conservatories (2+3+2).
On the fourth week I take a tier-3 Dragon Utopia (helm +6 all, boots +2 all, and wings)
Went through a teleport to the surface where the enemy had captured my secondary Rampart, from there to the enemy. Gosha had no chance.
Thanks for the game

Poor guy, his main and secondary Inferno were in the Dungeon, but he saw three cons and a Utopia and started playing.
He spent two weeks without money, and on the third week, he sold everything, bought some supplies (2+3+2).
On the fourth week, he bought a tier 3 Utopia (helmet +6 everything, boots +2 everything, and wings).
He went through the teleport to the surface where the enemy had captured his secondary Rampart, and from there, he went to the enemy. Goshi had no chance.
Thanks for the game.

You're welcome, otherwise I would have started dreaming.

We took all the remaining turns, and it seems the opponent just came to the Barbarian lands to avoid wasting time. I have units from level 1-3, and we quickly dealt with the opponent's small army. Thanks for the game!

I confirm! The game was so one-sided, it's hard to describe!

KostyaN (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) def Geroinya (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 221.

I decided to see what Dungeon can do without a Miner:) . The game dragged on, so I'll describe it week by week.

Week 1: spawned at the top, ran around with 5 heroes just building up to 111 for the Town Hall:o , because for the first half of the week I thought everything was blocked off and easy money was nowhere to be seen, and the second half I was saving up to buy on week 2, seeing a decent build already:) ; the good stuff: Stables:smile13: , external market, the only native external dwelling - Troglodytes:D , 2 Dragon Utopias on the respawn, a couple of Crypts (which I decided not to touch on week 1, so as not to lose Troglodytes, since I had enough for everything and didn't really need extra heroes yet), captured +1 to all stats from 100 Hobgoblins, killed 20+ Witches with a upgraded stack on mud, but overall the week was so-so, and Gunnar ended up a total loser:( and didn't break through to secondary skills; built Cata... ugh - Cats:D in the Citadel with upgraded Troglodytes.

Week 2: upgraded Harpies, bought in, calmly took all the Crypts (2 out of 3 with Vampires:p ) - loads of money, for me (already 2 money heroes +350 on top;) ), took the max native tree at 125 for 35-40 trees, where Troglodytes were badly mauled due to incorrect positioning or splitting, whatever you call it:confused: : I split 150+ into 2 stacks, but probably should have kept it as 1 - could have wiped out the stack of Flies in one go:mad: , only 92 left - but the rest intact, even 21 Evil Eyes:), took both secondary towns (Inferno and Rampart) in one day by chain, also invested money into them, back home added Manticores and Castle with upgrades for tiers 1-4, Gunnar shot up compared to the turtle pace of week 1: level 10, starting skill slots - Expert, Defense and Fire (took it because I had both Curse and Haste in the spellbook:cool: ) - Advanced, Air - basic, 9-10-6-8.

Week 3: lost a bit of pace: either rushed into the wrong corner of the underground looking for the treasure zone, or entered the treasure zone without doubling mana and Stables, had to fight my way out, also took out the native Naga Bank 4*5 with upgrades, started slowly leveling Grinya on Medusas and Harpies, Dad finally took Wisdom, but overall slowed down a lot - a passive week for me, just like week 1:smile30: (didn't touch the Dragon Utopias - simply didn't have any convincing damage-dealing stack, and didn't want to lose troops for a lottery of Captain's Hats and Purses:) , besides, my opponent allowed me to play like that:o ... ). Back home, built the Capitol and Dragons.

Week 4: took the only 2 trees found by all scouts by this time:( , total of 20 ducks:mad: ; the treasure zone, the further the more interesting, experienced the power of Mass Curse fully - IMHO more powerful than Mass Shield:eek: :smile08: , too bad there were lots of Necro Knights, on which this miraculous spell doesn't work - they were the only ones that required thinking:rolleyes: , by the end of the week I decided to stop pretending to be a noob and simply took the undefended piles with what I had (including 49 Evil Eyes) - a tier 3 treasure, very lucky - Sword of Ruin, Book of Air and Water (though I'd already learned all Water spells from a chest), lost a few Troglodytes and about 8-9 Manticores, couldn't be bothered hauling the junk:D , and then the minimal treasure for Shield+5 and Helm:smile08: , the game became boring. Ideal skill progression: also got Offense and Earth, nothing extra, maybe would have swapped something for Archery:) .

Month 2: immediately sent Grinya with Grand Elves, Medusas, Harpies, and Rampart's Centaurs on scouting, then brought Dad in, Grinya captured Valya's helper's capital losing half the Grand Elves and a few Harpies, then Dad maxed Offense at two Wonder Trees near the humans, level 21 and 22 I think, also found a Beehive and a Library in the nearby swamps, just as Valya's main arrived with fat stacks, but thankfully no Archangels, I attacked on the last tile after visiting those wonderful objects and simply killed the red main heroine with 2 Chain Lightnings at 900 damage from basic Air (even without the Helm:) ) and 5 Implosions, losing 1 Evil Eye.

Thanks, Sveta, for the game! Gunnar with Stables is cheating:D .

An interesting game for me. The map was scarce on Dragon Utopias, but I was dealt external dwellings of Wiverns, Wasps, and Lizardmen, while my opponent got Behemoths, Cyclopes, Phoenixes*, Orcs, and two Goblin dwellings. I managed to level up three heroes simultaneously.


Thanks for the game!

An interesting game for me. The layout was poor on Dragon Utopias, but I was dealt external dwellings of Wivs, Wasps, and Lizards, while my opponent got Behemoths, Cyclopes, Ruhks, Orcs, and two Goblins. I managed to level up three heroes simultaneously.


Thanks for the game!

All true! Thanks!

We decided to post this, after all, we played all night and morning…
After all the restarts, we got the most acceptable respawn.

On the first week – at the top, Shakti has 3 Stacks, totaling 155 Gremlins. Trogs are ready to take Cons, but they aren't there. Took the Pre-Max Crypt, for 20 with Gremlins. Dwarf dwelling, through a Moralizing Crowd of Gremlin Harpies went out and took a secondary Castle. Barely, but placed 1-6 in the Castle. Took the external Troglodyte dwelling because there was nothing else worthwhile.

On the second week – secondary Tower is blocked by 80 Gremlin Witches, on which I sacrificed 20 Trogs, because I had Mana for only 1 Slow, testing Cons on the Tower respawn showed 3-4, with a Gremlin Stack... dunno why I didn't go for him, but I didn't, because there was no Bless, and 40 Griffins on Snow inspired caution, decided to first take the Naga Bank which had the Haste Boots, in order to buy things. Took the Naga Bank for 3 with Gremlin Stack, Boots.

On the third week – Cons level 3, I go to the Treasury, see nothing worthwhile there yet. Took the Black Orb from under 50 Cyclops Kings, Pandora's Box for 15,000 gold, the guardians of which (One of the stacks under 50 Gremlin Griffins) got Morale and carelessly took out a good 2 dozen Troglodytes from me. Then took from under 20 Green Dragons with a Gremlin Stack +1 to Speed, Max Naga Bank. Then I am subjected to a bold attack by Kyrre, who sensed that I had Expert Air, but no Haste. This is where the +1 to Speed, for which I sacrificed all the Harpies, saved me. First turn of my 3 little Angels, which hit 60+ Elves, then 9 Scorpicores (one very stupidly sacrificed on the Naga Bank guard, because I didn't want to waste Mana, which I ended up spending anyway so that 60 Pegasi with a Gremlin Stack wouldn't cause more trouble), also hit the Elves, but only killed half. Then Valera's turn and he casts Mass Haste and piles onto my 15 Gremlin Mentors, kills almost all of them, leaving 6 pieces, which I sacrificed, taking the retaliation from 20+ Wives for the Trogs. Then my Angel is killed and he buys peace for around 20,000. I go further, take a Max Hive, the guardians of which (under 20 Efreet) Valera broke for me, then the Red Orb from under 50 Scorpicores, turn around, take the Shield +3+3 and head to the Dragon Utopia, revealed by the Scout in the Swamp Treasury.

On the fourth week – since Pathfinding wasn't offered, I trudge through the Swamp, picking up +1 to Speed and a Min Hive along the way. Then took a Max Dragon Utopia (Boots of Levitation, (or Navigation, I don't remember what they're called), Wings, +2 to All, Crown +4+4). Fly Home hoping to get there before Valera's growth, but I don't make it, land in an empty Rampart only on 2.1.2. Then Loi opens another Dragon Utopia in the Swamp Treasury, I fly there, level 2 (Fire and Earth Magic), again I don't manage to cut off Valera's population, and to be honest I don't want to miss my own, because Kyrre might be up top, and there is no View Air in any Castle, so on 1.4.7. and 2.1.7. I deliberately returned to my Main. By this time, Kyrre had doubled my stats. I placed and then upgraded the Black.

On the fifth week – having Earth Magic, I get from the Rampart to the secondary Tower in 1 Turn, but then I lose it because the cunning Turis bought not 1 Gremlin Gargoyle each, but as many as 3-4 per Stack, which my Mage with singles could not overcome, and I have no money to buy a Scout…
After that everything could have been more fun, but we agreed to a draw, because I wouldn't attack Kyrre behind Castle Walls, and I think she wouldn't attack Shakti with a Red Orb +4 to Speed either, though who knows.

Thanks to Valera for the interesting game!

Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) draw Loi (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 2.2.2.

That’s right. Around turn 133, he tried to break through with Utopian 2, but it didn’t work out, so he decided to try and catch Shakti off guard, as he seemed to have two paired flags for a couple of turns. But Pavel was on guard – he decided to attack, just in case he would go first, so he could cover the Grand units with Mass Haste (the speed of the unique units became 14...). And that’s when luck wasn’t on his side. In the end, he shared half of the Utopian and the game shifted towards mobility. Then he broke through with 4 Max Utopians, but he knew that Pavel had a Red Dragon, which made him bet on a stack of Vivs. In the end, both had an advantage, but I had a counter-strategy. In the end, the server couldn’t handle such intense competition, so they decided to spare the server – it’s a capricious beast :D – and agreed on a draw. Thank you, Pavel, for the uncompromising fight and the friendly communication!

Not much to write about; on the first secondary, cavalry in the Citadel, with +1000 there, then to the treasure zone, picked up a couple of Pandora's Boxes for gold, experience, and 25 Swords, on day 3 went to beat the GO out of 16 grey bears, using Mass Slow — almost without losses. In the FB, troops and parameters are at least 3 times stronger...
Thanks for the game and good luck in future ones

That happened.
Just don't make a big deal about the maxisklep.

Confirming, the game was interesting! Thanks, Kostya, for the game!:smile02:

The opponent took all the rest and off we went, huge territories, my native secondary at 115 and the second at 123, Valessa got Air and Logistics...
I took 2 Griffin Conservatories with an Angel each, a Pandora's Box for 5 000 experience, and rushed to the capital to take the Library and a Pandora's Box for a pack of Efreeti. I scoop all that up, a level 1 Mullich takes a Conservatory, Valessa hits the ГО from her side with 70 Cavaliers and in the metro 30 Red Dragons)))
Then I take the opponent's 3 castles and he attacks himself, the opponent's Air book didn't help, thanks for the game)))

It was a useless utopia; he should have gone to the surface instead.
