Vmn2009 (blue, Rampart, Kir, Kir) def Wlk777 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Tazar) Panic 126
Unfortunately, there is nothing to describe. There was nothing special on the map, only a hidden stash of wood. At the beginning of the second turn, with 20,000 gold. 3 Pandora units are recruited. And victory in the final battle.
Thank you, Valentin, for the game!

Vmn2009 (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Wlk777 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Tazar) Panic 126

There was that: about a hundred harpies from Pandora's Boxes on my opponent's side + a close path to me (Kyrre showed up completely unexpectedly and at the worst possible time) + my poor spawn (the lack of gold severely slowed me down and prevented me from buying all units on FB) + my opponent's tactics... Just not 126 but 125; after 124 there was nothing left to do but attack Kyrre, who had holed up in my secondary town with considerable power, otherwise it would have been even worse... Thanks for the game.

we had a good run
almost lost because of two hidden angels :)

don't you want to play?
but there are 2 problems:
1) I have Windows 7 and it took me a long time to figure out how to install Heroes 3 from the disc. As a result, I have The Shadow of Death 3.2 and Hamachi (I don't know how it works).
2) I'm really, really, really bad at playing ))))

I was slowly clearing the respawn point at the end of the second week, I look at the tavern and it shows Eine with insane stats :eek: and 4 cities! :smile07:
he's already slowly noobing in the center... :smile54:
what kind of noobs are there now... ;)
on turn 132, I grab 10 angels and go to the center
utopia - maxed out... damn, I'm standing there thinking - should I go or not? I go with 120 pikemen and 10 angels...
stats 8-8-4-4, dragons immediately ate almost all the pikemen - I'm sitting in front of the monitor with a purple face :eek:
I think - gg... but I still cast skin and shields and get out with five angels, they give me +3 to all, wings, and a sphere
I'm sitting there, stunned, I pass the turn, and then Eine runs out with all his might, kills the Scout with manacles... and goes towards me...
:eek: :eek: :eek:
he doesn't make it 2 steps on the fast road!!! damn, I rush home, the chain takes away the archers and angels,
upgrade angels, buy stuff, and return with the sphere
GG :smile15:

thanks for the game
it was intense :)

Confirmed, thank you for the game.

28.02.2010, Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Wlk777 (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.4.

Only got one secondary (turned out to be Stronghold). Spawned at the bottom.

On week one - I take it, native respawn is garbage (no Nook, no Gold Mine, no Conflux), send scouts to the Stronghold, scraped together for Manticores in Castle, without Guards.

On week two - 2 Medusa dens (8 and 4), took Anti-Morale, hired Guards, made Scorpicores, standing at Conflux on (2-4) 1.2.7. (this was all on the Stronghold respawn). Didn't attack, because I had neither Haste nor Slow. Also no Pathfinding.

On week three - Conflux is level three, straight to Treasury, Hive for 8, then for 30 Groovy Vivi Pandora's Box for 10,000, then Hive for 12 and another for 12, set up for a speed race on 1 Angel before the Forge and 2 Confluxes. Then, by Murphy's law, Valentin pops out with 16 Unicorns, 4 Angels, and about 20 Groovy Centaurs; Shakti had a Pendant of +1 to Speed before that, which as it turned out I gave to Loshok for capping a Gem Mine. Suspecting nothing, because I thought I had the first turn, I didn't even put the Angel down, I wait. Valentin casts Haste on his 4 Angels (4 Mana left for Kyrre), hits my lone Angel and it only has 5 HP left, then I Slow everyone, fly back and forth (I was taking a risk, because if Morale had triggered, that would have been it) kill 3 or 4 Unicorns with the Archer, and since I don't even have 1500, I retreat.
Next turn I attack with Loshok (who has +1 Speed and Anti-Morale) with 240 Troglodytes, 10 Scorpicores, 2 Angels, 31 Vivi, 40 Eyes, 20 Groovy Harpies against Kyrre, cast Slow on the Angels, my Internet drops, then Valentin concedes victory.

Thanks for the game!

02/28/2010, Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Wlk777 (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 1.3.4.

It was a long match. I spent a lot of time with 2 hidden unique creatures and I should have taken 40+ grand creatures with me to the treasure room. My opponent got very powerful hives, and it was impossible to defeat half of his troops even with a scout. Thanks for the game.
P.S. We were given a choice of base attack or defense, and I chose defense - and my 4 angels dealt 195 damage to the only enemy :( , it would have been more fun if I had killed the Miner :)
P.P.S. After playing WT, playing SoD feels a bit different...:rolleyes:

28.02.2010. theShevanesian (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Sem_56 (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 2-2-1.

The game turned out to be long; after two resets, the spawn was pretty good - three Gnoll external dwellings, one Lizard external dwelling, and two Griffin Conservatories at 3 and 2 right under my nose. On the first week, I captured a secondary town - a Dungeon, with an exit to the third level, and also built Hydras and Behemoths in the citadel. On the second week, I take both Griffin Conservatories, dive underground and take another one. As a result, in the middle of the third week, with 7 Angels, 13 Behemoths, 4 Hydras and some chaff, I go to take a Dragon Utopia on my home respawn. There are 3 Black Dragons and 4 Gold Dragons sitting there; I lose an Angel, they give me a Necklace of All +3 and gold, and the rest are sea artifacts :((( I take the double ГО in the underground, capture the opponent's castle, and the chase begins... He is already on the third level, with full Air Magic, and gradually catches up and surpasses me in parameters. I also run first to one third level - I find a minimum; then to another 0 there I finally find the Book of Earth, and in a Pandora's Box they give Air Magic!!! I try on 2-1-7 to reach the opponent, who is holed up in my castle, but I'm just short, and the next turn he attacks... He has 16 Enchanters, one Magic Dragon, 37 Wyverns and chaff; I have 6 Angels, 6 Chaos Hydras, 14 Wyverns, 18 Gorgons, 81 Archers and the rest of the crew... In terms of parameters, the opponent is stronger, and also has more spell power. But I have Tazar!!! And plus, the opponent unfortunately exposed all his troops to Rain, and I clearly have more meat. His summoning of 76 Air Elementals didn't save him either. Thanks for the game!

02/28/2010. theShevanesian (Haven, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def SEM_56 (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 2-2-1.

That's how it happened; I took all the rests. As a result, I had the minimum against the maximum of my opponent. Notably, with my native troops, I killed 22 angels for the artifact, without haste or slow. But the Earth book decided the outcome; thanks for the game, I'm waiting for a rematch!!!:smile19:

Winter is over.

Please post reports on winter games in this thread and confirm them.
Tomorrow I will provide preliminary results for the season, and I will post a list of uncredited and unconfirmed games.
I will wait until the weekend for information from the leading tournaments and then calculate the final statistics.

Please consider these matches for the winter OFB3 ranking, Round 1.

GoD (Tower, Torosar, Torosar) vs StickyFingaz (Inferno, Marius, Galthran) 2sm4d(3) 123

We played a while ago - 2 weeks back...
on 113 I took the inferno secondary town - there I found a Griffin Conservatory
native respawn was very poor
but thanks to the inferno's respawn I got Naga in the Citadel at home and Efreet in the secondary town

on 123 word came of the opponent's surrender due to lack of prospects

Thanks for the game!

Pit for LM: You need to correctly write the game result (def - won) and the colors you played with.

02/28/10, Psyche_7 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Clavius) def wiggle8509 (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack), 2sm4d(3), 215



Crag Hack has better stats, but the explosion, 500+ skeletons, and 40+ vipers inspire some confidence, and the +3 speed from the artifacts is also good. So, I break into the main Castle at the beginning of turn 6, take the main hero, and send him underground to look for Crag Hack (it's good that there's an air view).

In the first round, I get a chain attack on the angels (2 angels and about 38 vipers remain), and in response, I use an explosion for 1500 damage on the vipers. I fly in with everything I can. I bring in the skeletons. The opponent damages them with bears, leaving 300+ (a mistake), and I attack them (it's good that I removed the retaliation with griffins).
In the second round, the opponent revives the bears, but I use an explosion on the birds, and the bears are done.

Thanks for the game.
