19.05.10 Loi (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Sevan_80 (red, Castle Valeska, Mephala) 2smd4(3) 233
A weak secondary hero, but still mine. I decided to play a map exploration game and not go myself. I couldn't see my opponent, the first treasure was worthless, I built a second Rampart, found all the control points, and all the books except for air magic, and a red orb. I decided to go myself, took the Castle, secondary heroes, and after a few turns, the red player attacked, and after the first round, they thanked me for the game.
Thanks for the marathon!

A weak second-tier hero, but still mine. I decided to play a map conquest game and not go alone. I couldn't see my opponent, the first treasure was worthless, I built a second Rampart, found all the control artifacts, and all the books except for air magic. I decided to go alone, took the Castle, and the second-tier heroes. After a few turns, the red player attacked, and after the first round, they thanked me for the game.
Thanks for the marathon!

Confirmed, thanks for the game.

Generator victory. Bought red ramp for 1000. Didn't take the last rest 111 because of the elf external dwelling and the Griffin Conservatory near Castle. Barely any money; in the center, the respawn road is blocked until 49 gr. Ogre stronghold for a pandora's box - scouted it with a scout - it is 42, scary to fight with 18 grand elves. Somehow took the secondary Dungeon and stuck the horses in the fort =). 3 heroes by turn 117. Mephala level 3 but with Logistica). On turn 122 I take the Medusa dwelling on level 6 and hit those ogres - there are already 56 of them for some reason. The pandora's box is brutal - 40 elves))). Spend my last money on their upgrade and with the loss of a few centaurs and a few dwarves I take the conservatory on level 3 with Grand Elves. Found a second one nearby - also on level 3 but without Grand Elves - take it the next day with the loss of a few centaurs. ГО - a horde of necro horses falls =). I head towards them, taking the Naga Bank along the road (very sorry about the minotaurs) - on turn 126 I breach the ГО with a rush, losing about 15 dwarves (still no tome) - and there all the opponent's heroes are sitting pretty =). Thanks for the game.

Question for Kostya regarding the game. Why is the hero random in the Conflux? Isn't this a Versus mode?

A question to Костян about the game. Why is the hero random in Conflux? This is VT :)

I'll answer — we played for simplicity according to HeroesWorld rules. I've been saying for a long time that it's time to write rules for VT.

Thanks for the game.

Well, and here I thought I had gotten lucky:D .

111. 4 heroes, on the main Gosh, albeit without Necromancy; took the external dwelling of Earth Elementals and immediately got Learning:smile20: :smile13: (for those who don't know, this is one of the best things a main can get in WT, at Expert it gives +100% experience and later, when he's leveled up enough, Learning can be "forgotten" - i.e., abandoned to create an empty slot).

112. broke through with almost 30 Lizardmen for singles, there's a Dragon Fly Hive behind the Ogres and another external dwelling of Fire Elementals, as well as a chest with up to 20 Monks, but no money and to get to secondary skills you have to go through Ice Elementals; still, not worth restarting, the pros outweigh the cons:) .

113. got through with difficulty, losing almost all the Butterfly and 2 Air Elementals, leaving only 11 of them and 13 Nix - that's the whole "army":rolleyes: , money situation even worse than it seemed, but a Griffin Conservatory was found - so restarting would be somehow wrong...

114. the Griffin Conservatory turned out to be 3-4; on the 2nd day the main is still unpushed; this time I took Tower with the last move and couldn't stay to push; there is simply NO money for a 5th hero:smile27:; got Offense and Earth Magic.

115. again, didn't have enough movement to enter the Crypt, so had to build Markets instead of a dwelling:( .

116. the max Crypt went well with these leftovers; artifact +3 mana/day; managed to build and buy 2 Magi and a 5th hero.

117. a scout hero's run with 2 Magi to the external dwelling of Fire Elementals, through 3-4 small obstacles, also earned back a little cash; the main had to hit a stack of Gogmagogs for money, losing 1 Air Elemental.

121. at home I'm building the 2nd Tower; no Slow:mad: ; everyone frantically looking for gold, so nothing happens...

122. Medusa dwelling6 with an upgrade on quick, but still a decent buy-up is not in the cards for us yet:D .

123-124. gave up and traded everything I had, upgraded 19 Storm Elementals, killed a horde of Ogres and took 8 Serpents, then 17 Monks and 30 Nix from a chest behind them (used, again like in my 1st WT game - Quicksand; not Slow of course, but against a No-Tongue and Quicksand, it's Slow;) ). Gosh picked up Tactics and Logistics, a promising lad overall:) .

125. cleared a corner near the GO with the scout heroes for a +4 Shield and gold, and the main stood at the well by the Griffin Conservatory, but then 6 Angels and 75 Champions arrived; well, you know the rest:smile34: .

Thanks, your chocolate turned out to be more chocolate:) .

Question for KostyaN about the game. Why is the hero random in Conflux? This is WT :)

We agreed on this beforehand, before the bidding, so it's all fair. Conflux is strong enough as it is, giving Monere too:smile42: .

18.05.10 Weber (red, Swamp, Vestan, Vestan) def Shamanenok (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Tamika) 2SM4d(3) 123.

The roads are slow. On week 1, I placed 1-6 in the Citadel, plus there were 3 external dwellings of gnolls, an external dwelling of lizardmen, and an external dwelling of flies. I cleared a bit around the castle.

On 121, I bought the growth, cleared the guard on the secondary, almost 100 zombies, collected all the loot from the external dwellings, and went for a walk in the snow. I made 1 move deep into the snow, and the opponent attacked me with 37 eyes, 4 medusas, roughly 60 skeletons. I killed him, after which the opponent says GG.

Thanks for the game.

18.05.10 Weber (red, Swamp, Vestan, Vestan) def Shamanenok (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Tamika) 2SM4d(3) 123.

Roads are slow. On week 1 I placed 1-6 in the Citadel, + there were 3 external dwellings of Gnolls, an external dwelling of Lizardmen, and an external dwelling of Harpies, I cleared a bit around the castle.

On 121 I bought growth, broke the guard for a secondary hero, under 100 Zombies, collected all the resources from the external dwellings, and went for a walk in the snow. I made 1 move deep into the snow, and the opponent attacked me with 37 Evil Eyes, 4 Medusas, around 60 Skeletons. I killed him, after which the opponent says GG.

Thanks for the game.

It happened, I spawned in the Metro, Tamika appeared in the Tavern, I decided to gather Skeletons. On week 1 I take a secondary hero, come out of the Metro with Evil Eyes and what I gathered from Skeletons, and there the opponent is with a full buy. Thanks for the game.

18.05.10 Shamanenok (red, Stronghold, Gurnison, Gosha) def Weber (blue, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) 2SM4d(3) 1-1-3

Roads are fast. In the Tavern, on the 4th hero slot, Gosha appeared, made him the main, external dwelling of Orc Archers and Goblins, I beat the guard for a secondary hero, proceed further, and on 1-1-3 the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game +).

05/18/10 Shamanenok (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gosha) def. Weber (blue, Swamp, Wistan, Wistan) 2SM4d(3) 1-1-3

Fast roads, found Gosha in the tavern with 4 heroes, put him in the main party, recruited archer orcs and goblins, attacked the guard on the secondary quest, passed it, and on 1-1-3 the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game +).

It was late... he didn't want to finish the game and surrendered so as not to leave a save file :smile26:

19.05.2010 Loi(blue,necr,Goha) def GoD(red,dung,Shahta) 2sm4d(3) 141
The opponent wanted to counter-Necropolis, so I decided to defend Goha's honor. On turn 132, GoD teleported (4 rusty golems) from his side, and on the next turn, a 50+ scorpion with an explosion spell took out the empty Dungeon. After scouting, I identified the locations of the blue flags, ran to the same treasure, and during the final battle, the melee units decided the outcome, despite the sniper's bow.
Thanks for the game.

19.05.2010 Loi(blue,necr,Goha) def GoD(red,dung,Shahta) 2sm4d(3) 141
Opp wanted to anti-nek, managed so to speak to uphold the honor of Goha :). On 132 broke the GO from his side of the teleport (4 rusty ones), next turn - 50+ scorps and with expert logistics took the empty dungeon. Through air scout view, determined the locations of the blue flags, ran to the same treasure zone. In FB the meat decided, despite the sniper bow.
Thanks for the game.

That was a thing. First took 113. Then the layout was - 1 stack - decided to take 111 right away, but in the tavern 2 natives - decided to run around and have a look.

scouted 3 roads and got distracted by something and overslept the restart - decided to keep playing hoping for a candy from the generator...which I never got...:smile35:

on 3 respawns not a single external dwelling, not a single Griffin Conservatory - already bad...and also no dwarf dwellings or crypts:smile07:

on the first I took a necro secondary - Shahta seems to level up fine...placed cats in the citadel with my last strength, but almost no gold for buying...

On the second I beat back some gold, bought what I could...and made the main mistake - went for the Inferno respawn - took a secondary, there's also the entrance to the treasure zone - but it turned out too strong for Shahta without mass slow and with a small army...

there I took 2 naga banks of 6 and 4 - the nagas get morale and take out 2 cats and troglodytes normally(

but I managed to stick a castle, upgrade the kittens and buy up on 131.

I smash into the necro secondary - there's a metro there, which I wanted to go to even on week 1 - I run there - on the way another naga bank of 3 - plans to put dragons - sera around 60)))

but my dreams were not to come true...on 3 Gosh breaks the GO and takes my capital...

I go into the metro looking for fortune, but I understand hope is already slim...

I come out of the metro - there's a sandy treasure zone - I see 3 element for the sniper bow behind a group of fire birds)

and a bit higher an angel dwelling behind a horde of medusas - if only I had this fortune on 1st or 2nd with portal:smile42:

I take the dwelling on 137

but Goshan wasn't asleep either, the scouts scouted everything properly and necroDADDY is chasing right behind me...

managed to defend the last town - Inferno - in a scout battle)

on 141 I buy another angel, break the birds, gather the bow and eat a box for 10k exp

but Gosh is already in the metro - running around like crazy - probably has logistics or boots...

I understand I won't be able to escape - I gather all my might and run to meet him

in FB there was no chance from the start against 400 bones and 5 angels, even though Shahta had better stats and the sniper bow...

it all lasted until haste on the bones)))
I couldn't oppose anything anymore...(

in the end in my personal mini-tournament Shahta vs Gosh I'm already losing 0-3((( - 2 times to Igor-Outlaw and now to Valera - and I lost with Shahta only these games)

but I still hope to give the necros a beating with Shahta:smile13: :smile13: :smile14:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GAME!!!:smile42:

18.05.2010. GoD(Red, Tower, Nella, Nella) def Gomunguls(Blue, Castle, Valeska, Kirr) 223[/B]

played for several days with breaks, because neither of us had much free time...so we immediately agreed to play only with restarts 111...

Vitalik took it right away...then I got dealt chocolate, where Torosar immediately got earth and found slow, revealed a Griffin Conservatory on the Castle respawn, where I took a secondary and there also found an exit to a treasure zone, where you could see the KV behind a horde of diamonds, a Dragon Utopia, and other chocolate, but opp managed to pull off 116)))

Alright, started over - near the town a Griffin Conservatory and a gremlin dwelling - I'm playing...
take a Conflux secondary, there took a couple of crypts, also took a couple of crypts with scouts on my snow...

at home standard nagas in the citadel

on the second week I take a dwarf dwelling for 20, Torosar takes a Conservatory 1 near the capital
then I take another max crypt, medusa dwelling...

at the end of the second week I broke into the metro - there's a Conservatory - I take it immediately - 2
I run further - a necro secondary

before this I cast expert air view - on this respawn 2 blue flags are visible - I don't take the town - I go a bit to the side into the darkness, to catch Kirr on the rush

but she doesn't come - I take the necro secondary, run further - nearby a Conservatory - empty(
and the metro to the opp's respawn

enemy scouts spotted - several local battles occur with varying success

turns out blues were hanging out in the treasure zone

then Kirr smashes herself, the army runs home through the chain

on 132 Kirr breaks the GO in the form of a group of archangels - I'm in shock)

the next day they take my capital) - there are 9 angels - apparently they built them on the second...

Nella collects growth and runs into the treasure zone through the necro secondary.

Then they take Conflux from me too, and then the second citadel I took...
well and then the necro secondary...(

Nella hangs out in the treasure zone - finds 2 Dragon Utopias - not enough to eat, and from the surviving stacks - 3 angels, 9 nagas and 6 ducks

Kirr runs after me through the necro secondary - so I have to take risks...

I go into the first Dragon Utopia - medium - all golems, all vives and 1 naga die...and immediately go into the second, because Kirr is very close and I don't want to give up the Dragon Utopia...

and it turned out to be a max Dragon Utopia - because the scouts couldn't keep up with Nella, I had to go in with all my might(((

left 200 caps, almost 30 mages etc. - only 3 nagas and 3 angels survived)

but the saddest part - nothing for magic, especially control...

I'm thinking about surrendering...but I notice another box behind a horde of griffins...I decide to check it - and YES!!! whole level 5 for earth and air - there's a chance for a draw...

also nearby an exit through the metro to my former Conflux respawn - I have no towns left - I run there and take Conflux - still alive...)))

and Kirr runs the long way, breaks herself, but without control can't catch Nella)))

the exchange of castles begins)))
this goes on for almost a week - I'm already thinking of holing up in my capital and trying to defend with implosion on 1900...

but I don't make it - Kirr rebuilds my Tower with GM 5 (I only managed to stick GM 4) - and there she gets Dimension Door(((

on the Conflux respawn I long ago opened the overlook - nearby is an entrance to a barb treasure zone, where I see an earth boost, a couple of hives and a teleport that leads to my former barb secondary - I decide to clear the treasure zone and make it in 7 days to take the citadel)))

I take the earth ball, a box for 10k exp, naga bank, a hive of 6, free a scout from prison - and speed up...

the blues also open this overlook and Kirr runs to me...

Nella tries to hide in the darkness and finds a Dragon Utopia - I break through the guard, but not enough moves...

Kirr makes Dimension Door into this treasure zone...

Here I'm thinking - take the Dragon Utopia and be left without mana or run to the teleport, where on the other side there's a well and a hive
honestly I choose the second option

I take everything - 10 ducks - I sleep at the well

next turn Kirr attacks - she has 15 angels and 26 ducks

I cast implosion for 2950 - 1 angel survives - then blues mass haste and beat me hard...

I start summoning 85 earth elementals each, and Kirr resurrects the angels...

In the end my elementals take out all of Kirr's troops, and she couldn't run away, when I had no "native troops", because she put on shackles)))

before the last round I resurrect the ducks and kill 4 raised angels - the ducks also got battered and only 2 remain(((

and then with my earth elementals I destroy the opp's earth elementals - FB is mine, and Kirr went to the other side)))

but I have 2 ducks and 7 mana...and Vitalik isn't in a hurry to say GG)))

he breaks himself and buys in the citadel with Gunnar and with all the bought barbarian brothers attacks me on the same day - Guni has 36 wolves, 48 goblins and single goblins

I kill all the wolves with my archery - then tactical battle, where Nella's vastly superior parameters decided))) I had 1 goose with 1 HP left!!!!-))))

then it was only a matter of time, so the blues throw out the white flag...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GAME!!!)))

18.05.2010. GoD(Red, Tower, Nella, Nella) def Gomunguls(Blue, Castle, Valeska, Kyrre) 223

Confirmed!
Respawn was normal, by week 1 day 1.3 I already had 8 heroes... and then Kyrre arrives... anyway I was active — built angels on the 2nd week... busted 3 Griffin Conservatories... grabbed Pandora's Boxes and several Naga Banks, Gnome Crypts... and on the 3rd week with level 17 I went to bust the enemy's main (16 Archangels).. busted them with a loss of 15 swordsmen and 2 Draconians... then I run and retake the capital... then all the other towns... start looking for the opponent's main hero... then after a long chase I started catching up to Nella who was hiding in the mountains))... then Nella went into the treasure zone while I built a Mage Guild level 5 which had Dimension Door and Earth Elementals.... finally caught Nella and made some very rough mistakes because of which I lost... -1. didn't remove the shackles (because I had killed all the troops and could retreat safely, but instead had to fight the Earth Elementals)... for some reason I started resurrecting troops but didn't summon elementals... after the first round, as if from an explosion, 14 angels died, then Mass Haste and kill everyone... the battle ended in a loss and the opponent had 2 Wyverns left... I then attack with Gunnar having 36 wolves and 50+ goblins... I hoped there was no mana left and didn't split... lightning killed the wolves... not enough mana for the goblins... while I was shooting the Wyverns and Beholders, 2 goblins and a Wyvern with 3 health remained... one health short of killing the Wyvern, which I didn't have... total BS basically.... Thanks for the game!!!

20.05.2010, Loi(red,confl,Labetta,Tazar)def GoD(blue,dung,Shakti,Grindan)2sm4d(3) 144
A tedious first week, but by the end of the week, instead of using single air units, I started using them more effectively:), and I added some birds, plus a hidden stash of water elementals and fire elementals. They were powerful, but the respawn points were very spread out, which meant a constant shortage of 8 heroes... I only managed to reach the treasure room around day 134, but there I got wings for 10 hydras and chaos, losing 3 pixies. There, I also got a +4 shield for Thoul from the daily quest, and in the same grassy treasure room, I collected 52 vivas, 4 angels, and a large amount of meat from the Conflux, and the stats were also good.... On the 4th week, the blue team broke through to the Guardian Order, but since it took them three days to reach me on the road and there was a shorter route by flying, I wasn't too worried. After traveling for a couple of days on the road and not seeing the Conflux, the blue team congratulated me on my victory.
Thanks to Evgeny for the game; I won thanks to my general skills...

The first time, the game started normally, but after mutual restarts, the opponent rushed through a portal. I met him, and he came through the portal and the castle.
Thanks for the game.
