Thanks for a great game......

The generator didn't please me. Slow roads.

During the first week - it felt like I was born underground, as I was squeezing through a gap in the Rocks, no money, barely scraped together enough for Horses in the Stronghold. Took the Conflux secondary. At the respawn, I took the external dwelling of Pikes.

During the second week - an external dwelling of Archers (which I never managed to actually use the Archers from), 2 Medusa nests, Gurnisson appears, I retreat to the rear. Hive on 4.

During the third week - Gurnisson doesn't go for the Main town, but goes off-road toward the secondary; I take the Hive on 4, Pandora's box with 15 Storms, upgrade the Conflux Storms, and wait for an attack on the Conflux. Gurnisson leaves without checking who is in the Siege at the Conflux, well whatever, that's even better. I go to the Treasury from the Conflux-respawn. Take several Hives, +4+4 Tunic (-1 morale forced me to leave 8 own units on 100+ Diamond Golems), took a +6 Shield, +5 Club, Gold Mine.

During the fourth week - I take the Golden Bow, see the Dragon Utopia, shifted my Army, but then decided I needed to speed up, and ...was caught.

Thanks for the game!

05/02/2010, readme (Red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def Antrekott (Blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala), 2SM4d(3), 125.

The map was divided into average territories; Vistan had 2 stacks of lizards.
In week 1, I took a crypt (5 whites), a gnome camp (15), a gnoll lair, lizards, and my own secondary town. At home, I had 12346 + a stronghold.
By day 121, I had 74 lizard units. I took a consultant (1) and saw the opponent's heroes respawning west of me, on land. It was a dungeon respawn point because I saw a creature dwelling. I cleared block 123 with 50-99 golems and positioned myself so that I had just enough squares to reach Mephala. I took the creature dwelling and bought one unit.
With an army of 1 angel, 1 creature dwelling, 74 lizard units, 9 crocodiles, 5 ducks, and 2 mosquito units, I attacked Mephala. Mephala surrendered. After 2 turns, I besieged her in her capital, and the game ended.
Thank you for the game!

We took all the remaining resources, and then things went completely south... there's no way to describe it.
Fiona arrived, without any dogs, but with Peer and a ballista. Upgraded imps and they break through! A horde of moral pigs and thieves! In the dungeon, there's a native town with troops))) 15 devils and 5 ogres!
Then I started to lose. With that army, I tried to break through 20+ flies in one turn on my native town - a loss, because we kept negotiating until the very end, and I accepted the auto-offer, tried a different route - a horde of thieves, broke through, despite everything. On the other side, something incomprehensible in the snow and 20+ harpies - a loss. The second auto-offer for the same reason. And then it dawned on me what I needed to do. I had money!!! I built efreets, broke through to my native town, built a market and demons there, and defended myself. In the native town, efreets without pets and dogs in the citadel, demons in the secondary town. In the second town, with two markets, I bought resources and went to the third secondary town - there's a dungeon and a metro with 20+ lights, apparently leading to the opponent. Well, I thought - it's fate! The element of surprise worked in my favor! Peer settled in the opponent's empty capital!
Then there were 2 mega battles, barely won against Nimbus and Vidomina.
Ah, if it weren't for the auto-offer, I could have been proud of this game)
Thank you very much for the game!

Thank you for the game.

05/03/2010, KillerVampire (Red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def. mals (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Luna) 2sm4d(3) 117

In the first game, on maps 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, I didn't have a Stronghold, but I had two Orcish Huts. By the end of the week, my opponent managed to break through to my secondary town, completely unaware that my hero with his entire army was already there. After losing only two Orcs, I sent all 20 of his archers, along with a single butterfly, to the Fountain of Blood....

Thanks for the quick game....

Valya came with 2 stacks, the Castle had archers. On the first week, take the second - the swamp, I clear the external dwelling of wasps and archers. I placed the fort and guards at the Citadel, in the home town only the knights at the Citadel. On 117, news arrives of a wipe on mummies...
Thanks for the game!

03.05.2010, theShevanesian (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def vmn2009 (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2sm4d(3), 117

Valya came with 2 stacks, there were archers in the castle. On the first week I take the second - swamp, I clear the external dwelling of Valeskas and archers. I built the upgraded dwelling and cows at the Citadel, in my home town - only the upgraded dwelling for knights at the Citadel. On day 117 news arrives about a wipe on mummies...
Thanks for the game!

It was thanks for the game!

04/30/2010 Loi(blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def. God(red, Castle, Valeska, Gunnar) 2 small maps, 4 death matches (3) 134
No hidden spots or cons, but the double team in a tense final battle proved stronger than 6 angels and castle troops.
Thanks for the game.

readme (Red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def Antrekott (Blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala), 2SM4d(3), 125.

With an army of 1 Angel, 1 Crusader, 74 Greater Lizards, 9 Crocodiles, 5 Ducks, and 2 Mosquitoes, I attack Mephala. Mephala pays a ransom. After 2 turns, I besiege her in her capital, and then the game ends.
Thanks for the game!!!

That's exactly what happened. It's frustrating.
At the beginning, the starting position is right in the center of the map. The territory is not great, but the paths to the locations to the east and northwest are weakly guarded. The opponent appeared in the northeast. I thought, "Okay, I'll restart and cut him off from the easy resources." I took the territory to the right, placed some weak units there, and captured a second Castle.
I started to clear the path to the northwest. I accumulated enough money to buy troops. It's day 117, and I'm pushing through, planning to take the location with the Gnomes on day 121 and then return, driven by greed...
So, I establish myself there (with a chain of heroes leading to the main hero) and see that on the 1st day, my opponent attacks the Ogres, enters that same location, and defeats me. All my money goes to paying a ransom. After 2 turns, I face another defeat, this time in the Castle. And then – the end. 74 upgraded Greater Lizards in the 2nd week – that's power!

Slow roads were distributed.

In the first week, 3 free Elves appeared; I took a secondary Town of Dungeon and Castle. United in the Castle.

In the second week, I took a secondary Town of Necropolis. In the Treasury, I bought Liches with Greater Golem for 30+; then, for 90+, I bought Greater Harpies - Boots of Speed. It's a pity that there was no Slow spell in 4 Castles. Then, for 10-19, I bought Necro-Steeds for another Greater Golem. The Crypt gives +500 Gold; I took the Gold Mine, Mini-Hive. Portal in the Dungeon. No cons on 4 respawns, but 2 Greater Golems are pleasing. 6 Hydras were spotted (2 on the secondary Town, one each). In 2 Treasuries (1+3).

In the third week, I take 2 Hives in the Treasury and 5 Hydras (3 Tier 3 and 2 Mini: Helmet, Sword, Sandals on All, All Books, Titan Shield, Chainmail +4+4, Oracle's Hat, Black Orb). I scout with Earth Vision during Sergey's turn. On turn 137, I position myself at the Garrison in the Stable.

On turn 141, I attack the Garrison (Gray Bears). With Kirr's 44 Defense, 1 Bear dealt 52 damage to the Angels. I sit in Sergey's empty Capital; I am awarded the victory.

Thank you, Sergey, for the dynamic game!

05/03/2010, Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Soroka (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 141

Everything is correct.
I made a lot of mistakes, but Pavel gave me two auto-wins, but I couldn't take advantage of the opportunities )))

and this is just awesome:

On the third week, I take 2 Hives in the Treasury and 5 Artifacts (3 Tier 3 and 2 Mini: Helmet, Sword, Sandals of All, All Books, Shield of the Titan, Chainmail +4+4, Oracle's Hat, Black Orb), and I use Earth Vision to scout Sergei's capital. On turn 137, I position myself at the capital in the Stable.

Thank you very much for the game!

Thanks for the game.

In week 1, I took 2 secondary towns, Tower and Conflux, took the Dwarf Cottage 15 and cleared the respawns, in Castle 1, 2, 3, 4 in Castle (I didn't have enough sulfur for the cats, very frustrating, but oh well).

By 121 I had 25 Evil Eyes, 12 Medusas, 130 Fungi, I decided to go clear the Conflux respawn, the Conservatory, the Dwarf Cottage... I set up a chain to the Castle just in case... By 126, the opponent breaks through to me through a secondary town (lots of Golems I think), kills a hero from the chain and stops short of the Castle, I have no way to regroup, I buy 2 cats, all the Harpies in the Castle, in the end I kill about 30 of his Marksmen... By 127, I was 1 movement point short of reaching the Castle, which was very frustrating...

By 131, he buys an army and attacks... 6 Horses, 4 Cats, 14 Evil Eyes, 6 Monks... in short, no chance... gg

Thanks for the game!

Good game, Gunnar outmaneuvered Galtran; the first two weeks were a stalemate, but by the third there were 60 ducks and 3 Dragon Utopia, control, FB was a one-sided affair.
Thanks for the game.
