Terek (red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) def Convento (blue, Tower, Nila, Nila) 2sm4d(3) 136
After taking all the rests, things started moving quickly. During the distribution, there wasn't a single elf, but I got 2 Kentaur nests. 117 - knights in the castle! On turn 121, an expert water elemental, E defense, more than 100 Kentaur, 5 united. I open the watchtower and see that my opponent doesn't even have a castle on turn 131! I buy everything, run to him, and kill Nila in the castle! Thanks for the game!

OUTLAW (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Dubrovin Pavel (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 1-3-6
Start on slow roads, got 9 free elves, total we have on 112 - 16 Grand Elves. Next to the town is a Griffin Conservatory.
On 113, the chain clears a max crypt, Ivor with the returning army moves along the road. On 114, I run into a Guardian Object (a pack of Grizzly Bears), turn back...
A nearby beehive is spotted, a Bow of Gold behind the mages. There are already 8 heroes running around, but even with them, on slow roads I barely keep up...
On 115, the army camps at Mullich in front of the block to the secondary on grass. On 116, I break through there, the army ran away along the chain to clear a bunch of resources and chests deep in the spawn. Frantic search for cool external dwellings yields no results(((. 117 - scouted the approaches to the secondary on lava, found another beehive. At home - upgraded Centaurs with a Castle, Ivor camps in front of the guard of the first beehive.
121 +8 Wyverns, I head to the second beehive, Ivor grabbed Earth. 122 - I clear the beehive guard, camp nearby, picked Tactics in the 5th slot. At home, upgrade of Centaurs and Pegasi is being prepared, Mullich is looting in the grass zone of the Conflux.
123 +6 Wyverns, I break back home with Ivor for the spell book and run to the Griffin Conservatory, scouts meanwhile clear a Demon's dwelling and a crypt.
124 - upgrade of Centaurs and Pegasi, I clear the Griffin Conservatory (3) with base Slow, lose all the chaff and 3 Wyverns, picked Logistics in the 6th slot. I plan to delve into the underground to the opponent's adjacent zone, hoping for an early meeting.
125 - I clear a +4 Shield already on the opponent's ground. 126 - maneuvers, I pull scouts under the beehive, spotted in the cleared treasure zone - I plan to clear it without losing tempo, but I don't make it anyway... A scout with Pegasi paints the Conflux.
127 - I light up the underground view and see Shakti in front of his native secondary with 2!!!! stacks of a pack of Minotaurs... crazy... Nearby is a Griffin Conservatory, slightly lower - a Dragon Utopia and another Griffin Conservatory, but the road to them is blocked by a pack of blue mages, the scout has no chance to scout the 2nd Griffin Conservatory))). Anyway, I decide to hit the link in Pasha's chain, preventing him from bringing in growth on 131, I boost with Angels and Pegasi in the dark, the army is nearby...
On 127, Pasha clears the Griffin Conservatory, Dwarf dwellings and camps in his native secondary. As I expected, his scout didn't reach the 2nd Griffin Conservatory...
On 131, bringing in growth, which I leave in the bushes, Ivor, having picked up a Necklace of Courage (+++), breaks the chain and advances towards Shakhtar's capital, trying to lure him out of the secondary...
On his turn, Pasha reaches my scout on a pack of Silver Pegasi(( - annoying, Shakhtar becomes positioned nearby...
On 132 - upgrade of Dwarves and Centaurs, I bring the rest of the army and attack Shakhtar, forgetting to place the Grand Elves in the center for a box formation((( - I knew, damn it, that Shakti would have expert Tactics...
Anyway, 46 Grand Elves end up blocked and the battle, which should have been won with minor losses, turns disastrous for me due to Pasha's Mass Slow... Anyway, we fought long, Pasha retreated with 3 Minotaurs and a pack of Troglodytes. I have left 2 Unicorns, 11 Wyverns, under 20 Grand Elves, 8 Dendroid Soldiers, and 17 Dwarves. I rush to Pasha's native secondary for the Griffin Conservatory, hoping to level up my Earth to expert...
Shakhtar, with growth and bonuses from the external dwelling of Minotaurs, runs after me ((((... Here Pasha made a big mistake, giving me the chance to place a Manna Vortex, although he could have removed it on his turn with a scout...
I run in there, double the mana and camp in front of the blocks to the Dragon Utopia, Griffin Conservatory, and a chest... On his turn, Shakhtar recaptures the secondary, camps there.
I clear all the blocks, eat the chest (500 experience((()), Earth didn't level up((((. I enter the Griffin Conservatory without scouting - whatever will be - if it's a 3 or a 4, I'll surrender)), but I got lucky - a 2!!!
On his turn, Shakhtar attacks, here with Tactics Pasha hides his Beholders. My brothers go overboard)), on morale procs I manage to get within melee range!!!
We exchange magic, Pasha with Lightning Bolt, me with Lightning Bolt))), then Mass Slow - I cast Haste in response. My units get morale again... Here Pasha makes a mistake and, on 1 Harpy and 8 Troglodytes, gives me the right to cast Haste on 8 Wyverns, instead of offering a surrender...
Haste on the Wyverns and GG!!!
Thank you for an awesome battle and a series of mutual mistakes)))!!!!

Confirmation from Pavel several reports above

Terek (red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) def Convento (blue, Tower, Nila, Nila) 2sm4d(3) 136
Confirmed! The respawn was bad – there was almost no money!

AYMAN (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Aйвенго (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 126

We chose almost all the rests, and one by encounter, and off we went.

On the first turn, a secondary Conflux, 1-6 in Citadel, I cleared roads to two more secondaries: Dungeon and Barbarian, and checked the Griffin Conservatory with Trong.

On the second turn, two Medusa Fountains, money collection, and Shakti runs from the metro to my secondary Conflux. I give up the secondary and head there myself with Ivor. Shakti takes Conflux and retreats not far. I chase; Shakti runs away with the remnants of his troops. I check the Griffin Conservatory (turned out to be a two-level), take it, and rush to my opponent. But Oleg surrenders, probably due to a hopeless situation at the block.

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

AYMAN (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Айвенго (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 126

That was a game.
Thank you for the match!

Wlk777(blue, Rampart, Kyrre) def temofey(red, Castle, Valeska) 2smd4(3) 126
A pleasant and easy game, victory was practically handed to me, I just had to avoid major blunders =). One road leads to ГО but before the Castle there are stables and 2 Hives guarded by wandering creatures (a crowd of vampires and a horde of nomads). The tavern had a crystal heroine (can't pronounce her name, I think Seffinoroff) and Gelare, I hired many heroes immediately and used them along with Kyrre to clear the respawn, collected a lot of gold and found the pickups of dwarves and elves and took them. Kyrre has Earth Magic and Armorer. At the start of month 2, although I began at the stables, I was slightly delayed with the Hives (both were size 8), and only broke into ГО on day 125 (no Hall of Fame moment, nearly 100 gr. Pikemen with Mass Slow easily died) and sat in the opponent's capital after capturing a Griffin Conservatory on his respawn on week 2. There was another Griffin Conservatory next to the capital, where the opponent conceded (it was week 3), and I think neither 3 nor 5 angels would have saved him. Thanks for the game.

A pleasant and easy game; victory practically handed itself to me, I just had to not mess up too badly =). There was only one path to the GO, but in front of the castle there were stables and 2 beehives guarded by wandering creatures (a crowd of vamps and a horde of nomads). The tavern had a crystal hero (can't pronounce the name, I think it was Sephinheroff) and Gelu; I hired many heroes right away and used them, along with Kyrre, to clear the respawn, collected a lot of gold, and found the stacks of wood and elves and took them. Kyrre with Earth and Armor. At the start of the second month, although I started from the stables, I was a bit slow with the beehives (both were level 8) and only broke the GO on 125 (no great feat, just under 100 gr. Pikemen with Mass Slow died easily) and then I entered the opponent's capital, having taken the Griffin Conservatory in his respawn on 2 along the way. There was another Conservatory next to the capital, where the opponent surrendered (it was on 3). Yes, I think that neither 3 nor 5 angels would have saved him. Thanks for the game.

He did, he was very stuck for gold and wood. If he had built stables in the Citadel... there was neither Earth nor Media, in the end...

01/24/2010 ReneDekart (tower, Torosar)(Torosar) def Dima Surmay (conflux, Luna)(Luna) 134 2sm4d(3) SOD

Developed quite well, got a secondary army of Orcs, and was already planning to deploy Giants and Ogres, and with such an army go on a campaign for Utopia, but the opponent surrendered (he miscalculated his strength and lost his army and hero). Dima, you should be more careful, otherwise you'll lose like this again)))

Sorry, I won't do it again.

Vmn2009 (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def wiggle8509 (red, Dungeon, Gunar, Gunar) 2smd4(3) 212
Large respawn point. Fast roads. First week, 13456 in the Stronghold. No money-generating buildings along the way. One crypt, maxed out in 3 turns from the castle; I only took it on day 3 with a chain. No conservation... 2 elf recruiters and 1 unicorn, that's why I didn't take the respawn point... On turn 115, secondary Barbarian. On turn 121 - 2 secondary, on turn 124 - 3 secondary. Nothing interesting anywhere. ((( The enemy has a strong triple stack: a pack of Titans, a horde of buffed Efreet, and many red Dragons. What should I do??? Towards the end of the second week, a conservation point was revealed; I went and took 3 angels, and then the enemy revealed a distant exit to a treasure room on the snow. Well, I'll go there.
On the 4th week, everything is expert; the Pandoras only gave experience. I captured Utopia, Sword +12-3, Book of Air, nothing else. I collected an artifact +25% life, now I think it's time. Too bad I didn't make it to the enemy's castle on the 4th week; I didn't get the necessary resources, but it's my own fault.
Thanks for the game!

loi(blue,dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) def Miha_Kregov(red,castle,Valeska,Gundula) 2sm4d(3) 123
In the early game, I hid near mines, with secondary structures being a tower and a dungeon, with portals in both dungeons. Notably, I freed a level 10 mage, and defeated a guard on day 114 - 82 demons with an upgrade. I was lucky that there was no morale here... The respawn points were rather empty, so I decided to focus on the economy and, in the early third of the game, head towards the treasure, where I spotted the Sword of Justice (I already had Masslow). But then, they started rushing. Shakti was busy, so I sent the mage to a holding position with 75 mana and a 90-unit archer, and he held out... In the next turn, the red player congratulated me on the victory.
Thank you for the game.

In the early game, there were minor mines, followed by a tower and a dungeon, with portals in both dungeons. Notably, I freed a level 10 mage, defeated the guard on day 114 with 82 demons, and luckily, there was no morale issue here... The respawn points were rather sparse, so I decided to focus on the economy and, in the early third of the game, head towards the treasure, where I spotted the Sword of Justice (Masslow was already there). However, they started rushing, so I sent the mage to a holding position with 75 mana and a 90-damage attack, and we managed to hold out... After a turn, the red player congratulated me on the victory.
Thank you for the game.

Confirmed. Thanks for the game! ;)

Vmn2009 (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def wiggle8509 (red, Dungeon, Gunar, Gunar) 2smd4(3) 212

Confirmed.
Thank you for the game!

Simple (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def FireToSky (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) Balance, 116

The opponent had shooting guards and suffered heavy losses, so I decided not to resist.

Thank you for the game.

a shadow of a homeless person (blue, Inferno, Pyra, Pyra) def MrAtom (red, , Tower, Eine, Eine) 2smd4(3), 217
: Played poorly
Pyra came without a ballista, I lost in the first round
Just when things were starting to improve, Eine arrived (2-3-8-9)
Pyra was (15-9-5-6), I decided to fight
The stats decided the outcome; the opponent was hitting with magic, but the sword turned out to be stronger :)
And Eine couldn't escape
Then the opponent tried to take my castles with weak units, but Pyra defended
GG

Thank you for the game
Thank you for playing quickly.

OUTLAW(blue,Dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) def Dubrovin Pavel(red,Rampart,Kirr,Kirr), 2SM4d(3),1-4-7
We swapped towns and set off....Pasha chose all the rests; here you start on slow roads and there are 2 external dwellings of knights near the town - lovely!!!
On 111 I clear the first, on 112 I clear the second, a cons. is nearby. Checking - 2-4. Home Dragon Utopia. Spotted 2 metros to opponent's adjacents. ГО are simple psychos, road to secondary with a fork to treasure zone... I love generations like this))). Anyway, by the end of the week—home knights with portal + 2 external dwellings of knights and troglodytes—everything is bought out.
121-cons.(3).122-I spend the night as ГГ before the metro to Pavel's adjacent.123-I move out onto the grass, pre-max crypt, a block in the sandy treasure zone is spotted. Scout spots my secondary Necropolis.
124-moving toward the presumed secondary, there is a hive behind a pack of cow cyclops ahead. The secondary was already under Pasha's control, so no element of surprise. And then it turned out that the secondary itself and the road were thrown quite far away; even by the end of the week I couldn't reach Pavel's capital.
125-hive(8), a scout nearby spotted another hive and the edge of the opponent's scout. I spend the night as Shakti before Pavel's Conf.126-I clear the Conf, scout lights up an overview from which part of the sandy treasure zone is visible—a tasty Pandora behind ul.hydras and a hive behind ul.medusas. Moving ГГ toward the hive. Planning to take the remaining hives with Pandora and, after returning home, break the home Dragon Utopia at the start of the 3rd week.
127-hive(8), back home—a stronghold was added....I didn't even build manticores the whole game....131-I push through ul.hydras, but I was a step short of taking Pandora.132-I take an empty Pandora, ГГ was without book and wisdom)))), hive(12).133-returning home, spend the night a few steps from the Dragon Utopia.134-Dragon Utopia(1),(gave: +4/+4 atk/def, boots, diplomat's ring)—the dragons were scared of the shock stacks of knights and lares and took out 2 angels((, returning home, spending the night there to buy the book))).135-I set GM1, there is slow to basic earth, starting into a treasure zone on the road. Knight grade.136-nagobank(4), Dragon Utopia spotted nearby and a couple of hives.137-on an order of cows guarding a hive and boots of levitation, I lose my last angel, killed by death gaze, but it doesn't matter now, the hives are fat, total already 40 utops + 32 gr.knights))). Spending the night before the Dragon Utopia.
141-I push through the cyclops horde and break the Dragon Utopia(3)—red orb!!!,+4 all, helmet+10, gold bow.142-hive(12), spend the night before the cloak of renunciation.143-I take the cloak, hive(8), spend the night before the Dragon Utopia.144-I push through the amulet of courage,
Dragon Utopia(1)—of useful things +2 all. Further another Dragon Utopia(3)—this one is chocolate (earth book, +5 all, hat +3/+3, sword+6), nagobank(4), shield+6. I intend to portal home next turn and hit ГО—a bunch of knights, nearly 60 lares, red orb and exp ballistics allowed me to count on the success of the operation. But on the opponent's turn, upon closer inspection of the sandy treasure zone borders, I notice the tip of a Dragon Utopia tower))).146-ТП home, mana doubling and running to the metro on the grass, from where there is already passage to the sand toward the Dragon Utopia.
147-on his turn Kirr pushes through ГО and sits in my capital, leaving me without towns—I spent the whole game like that without secondaries))).
On my turn Shakti with 47 gr.knights, 57 lares and trash from a barbarian scout attacks Kirr. The advantage in stats and full set of exp. earth magic left no chance for the forest gang...
Thanks to Pasha for the game!!!!
P/S: throughout the whole game only knights arrived in the summoning portal !!!! First time this has happened in my entire gaming experience......
