Van (Blue, Castle, Moandor) def NumOne (Red, Fortress, Vistani, Vistan) panic 142

Confirmed.
In the Facebook game, he skillfully defeated the skeletons, losing only a few Vassals and Dracopters, but then ran out of mana and couldn't reach the fleeing Griffin Harpies. 13 times in a row, magic passed through the Ducks, even with my 20% resistance – it's terrible. I was hoping to reach the Harpies through morale, but there was no morale, even though the bonus was +2. I was so confused that I didn't know where to go. In short, Van was destined to win today. Congratulations! :)

Thank you for the game.

Loi(Red,Castle,Valeska,Valeska) draw Deriel_Linch(Blue,Dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) 2cm4d(3) finished 225

A real fighting draw. I got caught while building up (something's been happening often lately, even just now in the game — I brazenly stopped to build up before the secondary guard, even though I saw blue flickers there :)), so I had to save everything all over again; I managed to save up, but I was unlucky with control in the Dragon Utopia.
Thanks for the game.

Hiding cats, they are in the citadel on the first. At 116 — left with 1 angel (in a max dwarf-nest — several morale units with full stacks and 4 cats fell almost immediately). At the start of the second — breakthrough to the castle, they were waiting there — I didn't attack, ate hives for 6 vivs there, then they attacked. In Fb, I actually saved 1 angel with healing...
Thanks for the game, the opponent is progressing significantly, along with an unchanging positive attitude, respect...

FireToSky (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Grindan) def Joachim (blue, Castle,

Valessa, Dessa\Valessa), 8mm6, 214
Due to a couple of mistakes, the game dragged on for about 10 days, but overall, this is probably my most interesting game!
111 - 120 troglodytes, there's Grindan, near the town knowledge and spell upgrades, I reveal the Griffin Conservatory
112 - nearby external harpy dwelling, harpies are built, so harpy upgrade - there are 21 of them, and I plan to make Grindan in the packs,

despite Shakti getting the Log immediately
113 - the hero is still only level 3, but I break into the Griffin portal and reveal the dwarf dwelling
114 - Epic move! Grindan first takes the dwarf dwelling for 15, then I dive into the max-level dwarf dwelling without a griffin stack! I moved for about 20-30 minutes,

Mr. Joachim started to get worried:) thank god I get out of it, losing 12 harpies, 29 trogs due to ridiculous morale rolls

with full stacks :( But Grinya is level 6 with Expert Earth. The money earned is enough to hire 2 scouts, build the Red Tower +

still have 7k left oO
115 - I buy the Sulfur Man Kalid
117 - a village with crypts, I position Grinya with speed boost in front of 50-99 knights for a Pandora's Box. I free Gurney level 5 with

a ballista
Result: slots 1-6 in the citadel, 7 heroes
121 - I hit the swordsmen, in the Pandora there are 20 Vampire Lords!
122 - I fend off a Prayer scroll with fodder
123 - I break into the portal through a horde of Gog, I hit a crowd of Roc for the Necklace of Lightning Protection and a Forgetfulness scroll. I fend off

a Prayer scroll with fodder. Grinya, as if by magic, gets Water, after all the battles with Rocs, Gogs + with demons for

the library, Water becomes Expert. The fodder also gets Gloves of Haste (GoS). Gradually Grindan starts turning into

a strong Caster, as I intended. Stats 3-4-9-10, Wisdom, Water, Earth, Luck - all Expert.
124 - dwarf dwelling
125 - I break through with Grinya, take level 3 Griffin Conservatory
126 - I fight with fodder, Grindan with speed boost on the harpies before heading out into the open. Out of nowhere, brown

Nekla appears, attacks Grinya - I flee
127 - While Nekla is around, I fend off a Warrior's Tomb with homeless heroes, there's a red sword +6
Result: still slots 1-6 in the citadel, 2 villages with crypts, Grinya 9-5-9-11
131 - I capture the Brown Tower. Brown gets wrecked)
132 - I hit a horde of Gold Golems, Veeeeery stupidly lose an angel by accidentally attacking with the wrong stack :( they give a

scroll of Earthquake and an Air Balloon, Grinya breaks through to the capital and stays there for the night
133 - I set up GM4 - there's Bolt, Gate, ANTI-MAGIC and ta-da-da ARMAGEDDON! Only later did I realize the beauty of Armageddon, at first I wasn't even particularly happy. But then, thinking it over, I start sending Mages to the experience rock hoping for Proficiency in Wisdom + spell and knowledge upgrades + realizing that Anti-Magic on angels and Armageddon would be fun!

134 - we have 2 Kamikazes with Armageddon: Deemer with 6 spells and Darkstorn with 4 (but he turned out to be a poor kamikaze, because Armageddon requires 20+ mana, as it turns out).
135 - Grindan with the army ran out along the path to the blue swamp
136 - Grinya with speed boost on angels about two turns away from the enemy capital + I take the blue swamp
137 - I hit 4 Ghost Dragons with Grinya, take the +3 spell shirt, am one tile short of the +3 shield. I make a harsh mistake by not taking the external Efreeti dwelling, only realizing several turns later how useful their fire immunity would be. Then the opponent bursts in with Dessa, takes the shield and attacks! Dessa's army is 2-3 times stronger (early double-build from Pink). Dessa has Expert Slow, I cast Anti-Magic on 2 angels, after the shooting, 1 remains and on the next turn I cast Armageddon! Dessa has few troops left, so I buy a truce with 1 angel. Then Dessa attacks Deemer (!) with 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 harpies and Deemer does his dirty work, leaving an empty battlefield... The opponent swears silently.
141 - Grindan runs on the angel, again not paying attention to the external Efreeti dwelling (what a fool!)
142 - 3 steps from the capital with a semblance of an Army, the opponent has already gathered a weekly growth from 2 castles
143 - I attack the capital, Anti-Magic on the Angel, I endure... But in round 2, the towers (the bastards!) hit the angel and kill it!!! Now I swear silently, take out 4 horses with Bolt and buy a truce. I think about what to do next, the solution comes by itself: Orange Conf has been roaming near my spawn for several turns. That's it! Fire Elementals!
Nothing particularly interesting happened after that: Funny battles with Gurney's ballista. By the end of the week, I capture Conf and on 147, I stand one tile away from the stables
211 - I set up GM5 - there are Fire Elementals
211 - 213 - I fly around with the Fire Elementals (even stupidly without an upgrade - I spent resources on GM5)
214 - 2 tiles away from Vale - she has speed boost on angels, she flees into the darkness of the swamps.
215 - I reveal Vale with one fodder in the observatory, with a second fodder I give Grinya Gnolls, run off-road, then pass the Fire Elementals again and attack! Armageddon >> everyone, Vale buys a truce on an Angel, I Gate to a Necromancer village
216-217 - I run to the opponent's capital, set up camp there! Then the opponent surrenders...
Thank you for a very engaging game!

It happened... Mephala and Isra came from the Dragon Utopia to the castle, but the respawn was small; there were 2 Ramparts with elves in them. Got a decent amount—about 80 marks for the 2nd Rampart—but the elves weren't touched, so it's fine :) I found the confluence, but it was too far away, so I decided to leave it for the 2nd week and rubbed my hands in anticipation; at home, horses in the citadel +1000 122. Shakti punished the loser with a delivery of elves and forced him to change all his plans; he had to shut himself in at home with 24 grands, 5 champs, and some same-tier units, but Shakti headed toward the Rampart where the confluence was. He had to climb out of the shelter and fight in the open field...

Thanks for the game and the experience!!!

Yes, Armageddon disappointed me, to put it mildly, but what upset me the most was Deemer, who, instead of casting a regular meteor shower, started casting Armageddon and buried Dess. After that, I played on autopilot, hoping to find some kind of resistance, but all the treasure was within the enemy's reach and blocked for me. Thanks for the game. Respect.

crooked respawn, no neutrals at all, to the sawmill and stables you could only run around (so never took them until the end of the game), but lots of money lying around, Valya with 3 stacks, on turn 113 I take a secondary Inferno town and decide to play. On turn 117 — cavalry in the Citadel. On turn 122 I carelessly left Valya with only archers — was scouting around like :D , a bit behind a scout hero with the rest of the army, including 5 cavalry, then out of the dark flies Kyrre with 50 centaurs, 10 Pegasi, 6 elves + chaff. Bought back immediately, Kyrre attacks the scout hero — due to a mistake, the opponent made a trade of 1 cavalry and 4 gargoyles for all his elves and 8 pegasi — then fled ;) luckily the day before I had taken the max crypt, so I had money. Next turn I buy back in the castle, take swordsmen for good measure and transfer the entire army to a miner hero who was hiding not far from Kyrre :) The battle was won almost without losses — opponent buys back... I take Valya from the castle and chase after him, along the way trying to get Mass Haste, but Logistics kept leveling up, which was also not bad, it would have been worse if Diplomacy obtained from the Scholar had leveled up ;) Two days later I see the blue castle, and there's the entire army + an angel :eek: I turn the reins around and head to the treasure zone... On the third day, I finally get Mass Haste and take a Shield +4 all and the max Hive there, I split up to go home to replenish mana, but then news arrives of a loss in the Utopia... :smile34:
Thanks for the interesting game :)

Thanks to you too :)

RomarioGrom (red, Rampart, Kirya, Kirya) def NcArhAngel (blue, Castle, Valya, Valya) 2sm4d(3) 135

Kirya brings 6 elves :) towards the end of the week found a way to make elves break through 70+ mummies per box for 10k money, freed Gosha on the 10th;) dumped friends (19 viv gr.) 1-6 in the castle, overall :smile54: 121 Griffin Conservatory(2) and after a bit of stupidity sending Kirya with angels to his own secondary, the road turned out to be long as hell, meanwhile Gosha took back the tower, scouted the treasure zone with utopia and a bunch of goodies, and at the end of the week Griffin Conservatory(3) 3rd seeing that the opp didn't develop much decided not to grind further and went around him, caught Valya then fell the castle...

Thanks for the game!

I confirm. Thanks for the game

déjà vu
Which year should this current topic be attributed to, considering this one?
We need to decide and rename one of the topics chronologically correctly. I apologize for interfering. :o

Vitaly always knows how to say the right thing! Well done! Join the conversation more often :)

Looser (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) def Sevan_80 (blue, Castle, Orrin, Orrin) 2sm4d(3) 137

Respawn is not rich, but 2 external dwellings of mages and I managed to get two Barbarian secondary skills on the first. Nagas at home in the citadel.
On the second, I built up my castle and economy in the secondary towns, scouted 4 conservatories, one is very far though, I didn't bother teleporting there.
At the start of the third, I take three level-3 conservatories and plan to go for ГО, but the opponent announces a surrender.
Thanks for the game

Aldegir (Red, Conflux, Inteus, Gundula) def logisti k (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.6

1st game, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in the city
2nd game, they were running around, I don't know what they were doing...
3rd game... I was playing at work, and I didn't have much time for the game... so instead of a proper defense, I went on the offensive... and it worked...
Thanks for the game... Sorry I didn't let you play properly...

Aldegir (Red, Conflux, Inteus, Gundula) def logisti k (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.6

1st - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 in the city
2nd - they were running around, I don't know what they were doing...
3rd - I was playing at work and didn't have much time for the game, so instead of defending, I went to the opponent's base, whatever happens, happens... And it worked out...
Thanks for the game... Sorry I didn't let you play properly...

I confirm, I didn't have enough money to buy units, it would have been better to get a Nagash and win.

Thanks for the game!
