27.06.2010 Loi(red,castle,Valeska,Shakti)def Catch(blue,confl,Monere) Jebus 137 WT

That's right. We agreed on 2 days of restarts. On the second day, I thought hard. There was one winding road, but in addition to Monere, Pasis showed up; right under the castle there was a Griffin Conservatory 2-4 (turned out to be 3), an external dwelling of air elementals, a Hive, and another Hive with an external dwelling of phoenixes guarded by 5-9 green dragons. I took a risk and started playing, hoping for a continuation. However, the road immediately led to a ГО, though there was a branch to one secondary hero. Everything else was off-road. Noteworthy in the first week – I revealed an external dwelling of psychos and took it. Besides that, a couple of crypts, a Hive under the castle (minimum) and nothing else. On day 7, having built psychos and birds in the citadel, and bought everything available, I charged at the greens. I killed them with the loss of almost my entire army. I go to the Hive – minimum. From the army, 4 psychos and 4 wyverns remained. But there was nothing to be done, I took the external dwelling of birds. End result of the first week. Pasis still gets 7th level when assaulting the external dwelling, from the army 1 bird, 2 psychos and 2 wyverns. Monere runs around in pegasi.
On the second day, I buy birds, give them to Monere, psychos – give them to Pasis, and they scatter off-road. As a result, on the second day each takes an external dwelling of birds and a minimum Griffin Conservatory. Both expert logisticians and get earth, but Pasis is overall better off. I was hoping to see at least one Dragon Utopia on respawn, but it wasn't meant to be... All the good stuff turned out to be three external dwellings of birds, an external dwelling of psychos, three Griffin Conservatories with 5 angels and three minimum Hives.
On the third day, I buy all the growth of birds and psychos from the external dwellings and the castle, upgrade them all, and go to the center. From the parameters of the opponent's pegasi, I realize he's been in the center for a long time. The only chance is to find control and try to eat what he hasn't gotten to. Pasis runs towards Inferno, takes it, but it's a dead end, though he gets all the fire in the Pandora's Box. Monere takes the meat from him, which according to the tavern I have more of than the opponent, and runs in the other direction. There, behind 100-249 upgraded cyclopes (turned out to be 104 I think), there's a water book not eaten by the opponent, but he's already prepared to take it. I take it with the loss of 4 phoenixes, pass it to Pasis, he teleports home, but all the army is with Monere. On the turn transition, Shakti with parameters three times superior to mine attacks and kills me without issue.
Thanks for the game :)

P.S. We played with settings as close to SoD as possible. Morale, stacks, no experience, bank, tax, classes.

the spawn was terrible, on 112 at the secondary mine and right before the entrance a pack of black knights
I run towards it and there's a horde of iron golems
but somehow I set up 1-6 with the castle
on the second day I cleared 3 dwarf dwellings and had plenty of money
on the third day 3 Griffin Conservatories (7 total) and on 137 at a Dragon Utopia
I dumped everything except the rings, Titan's Plate, and the Speaker's Hat
so for the entire next week I ran around collecting mana and leveled up Expert Intelligence
211 GO
212 Finale: 5 gold dragons, 6 angels, and everything else maxed except for elves (accidentally took them into the Dragon Utopia)
my opponent's Resistance triggers 2 out of 3 times when I cast Implosion (which deals 1500 damage)
but even one Implosion was enough to kill his 7 angels and thus win, losing very few troops
thanks for the game)

the drops were terrible, at 112 there was secondary and right before the entrance a pack of black knights
I run to another one and there's a horde of GR golems
but somehow managed to set up 1-6 with Castle
on the second I cleared 3 dwarf settlements and there was money galore
on the third 3 cons(total 7) and at 137 by the Dragon Utopia
threw everything out except money, titan armor and orator's hat
that's why all next week I ran around collecting mana and upgraded to expert intellect
211 ГО
212 Finale 5 gold dragons 6 angels and everything else full except elves(accidentally took them into the Dragon Utopia)
the opponent' same resistance triggers 2 out of 3 times when casting explosion(which is 1500 damage)
but one explosion was enough to kill his 7 angels and thereby win, losing only a tiny bit of troops
thanks for the game)

You wrote it exactly as if I were useless and doomed. :)
But overall, everything is correct.
Thanks for the game. :)

PS: expert resist rules ;)

06/28/2010 Lider1 (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def P.Alexei (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 8MM6a 146

The game was slow-paced, with a lot of running around, and there wasn't much tempo. They met in an open field on map 146.

Thanks for the game.

Confirmed. Thank you for the game.

28.06.2010. readme(Red, Inferno, Marius, Marius) def Mario(Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor),2sm4d(3),132.

Roads are fast.

There is absolutely nothing to describe, I played with a beginning novice.

Week 1:
I kill 24 gold golems on the path to my native secondary hero. 2 external dwellings of imps, at home 123456 in the citadel, on turn 117 Marius takes 30 gnomes.

Week 2:
No cons and Dragon Fly Hives anywhere, a small respawn, I eat a Medusa dwelling (6) with a scout, finish off chests and sulfur/mercury for upgrading Slingers with whips and start the hemorrhoid. I noticed Ivor with a pointy-eared army near a crevice behind a lot of mummies, I reach him with Marius on turn 126, with 55 Demons, Pits, and Efreets, with Expert Tactics I place Demons opposite 32 Elves, activate Haste and wipe them out in 1 hit (675 units of damage). Ivor dries his oars and shows his heels, I run to the capital.

Week 3:
I buy only Demons, Pits, Efreets, and Imps from the external dwellings, since there is no money at all, and I go to Marius, hand over, besiege Blue's capital with 65 Demons, 7 Efreets, 10 Pits, and 60 Imps, kill 20 Grand Elves immediately (blocking with 2 Efreets) and then 3 Unicorns, and finish off the remnants in the form of Centaurs and Gnomes. Then I buy the unbought troops, there was only enough money for 40 Centaurs, I turn them into ugly horned creatures and now there are 75 of them... and there is still a lot of meat there... but the opponent has nothing left to play with, thanks for the game.

26/06/2010 - 14:19 Kyiv time (the bus passed at 14:14 :() KillerVampire (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def OUTLAW (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) Jebus Cross 136

Start without built archers, but the spread was great and I managed to reach angels in the citadel; from the hideouts there were only bows, swords, monks, griffins... I don't understand where the generator threw the Dragon Utopias for me :confused: .... I found the only one already with a scout in week 3 in such a corner where it shouldn't have even fit..... Only 2 hives are visible and what's revealed at 114 ГО - a stack of oranges is disheartening... no idea what to hit them with in month 2..... Out of desperation at the start of month 2 I go into the depths of the respawn and there finally a ray of hope shone)) - 3 Griffin Conservatories (2+3+3). I upgraded a couple of archers for speed and resurrection, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't even reach the center by 131 :mad: . I fight a double ГО without mass magic on 4+4+4 archers with growth, I manage to get +6 and +3 all, and then speedy Kyrre with full control stole everything literally from under my nose. In the end she got bold and piled on... there was no clear answer against the explosion at 2K+...
Thank you for the game!!

06/28/2010 RiMpel2 (red, Castle, katya, katya) def. Powerstrike (blue, Swamp, tazar, tazar) 2cm4d3, 125

From the overview, I see a quick path, so I decide to go to the opponent on turn two. My secondary hero with cruisers, knights from the main hero, and an archer at level 80 with 100 mana left the opponent no chance.

Thanks for the game!

06/28/2010 RiMpel2 (red, Castle, Katya, Katya) def Powerstrike (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2c4d3, 125

From the replay, I see a quick rush, so I decide to go for a second-turn attack. My secondary hero with cruisers, main hero with knights, and an archer at level 80 with 100 mana left him no chance.

Thanks for the game!

Confirmed, a good surprise attack! gg

Vitalya suggested picking castles as desired and off we gooo....
Start without elves, but the tavern has 2 native ones (also without elves). Upgrade Centaurs and off we go... Managed to get a good spread with 8 heroes, didn't go for secondary skills — shooter guards, enough jobot in the native lands...
Grabbed boots from orcs + stables, painted external dwellings of elves and dwarves. There were also external dwellings of horses and pegasi, but in the first case — the guard was giant cyclopes, also guarding an artifact and resources, in the second — a horde of harpies, also guarding an artifact. Cleared a bunch of crypts (6 I think), a Dwarf Cottage (15), and ran Ivor through a bunch of level-up structures. At home, I placed horses in the castle and had almost 16K gold left by day 117. At the start of the 2nd week, upgrade horses and elves, grab the shield +4 and take the Griffin Conservatory (4) fairly easily, as usual without the spellbook))), thanks to Ivor's stats and a pack of dwarves. Gold goblin bank (3) and Dwarf Cottage (20). Break through to the teleport leading to the underground Dungeon, there — a max hive and a Griffin Conservatory (3). At home, everything is heading towards training dragons, Ivor starts for the treasure zone, the chain meanwhile clears resource and gold blocks, an external dwelling of horses, and a Pandora's Box (5K gold). By day 127, Ivor is already in the treasure zone, but apart from a Dragon Utopia behind firebirds and a bank (2), nothing useful. At home, dragons are trained and growth is added to dwarves, in the Dungeon — a summoning portal. At the start of the 3rd week, with a lich on 2 horses from the external dwelling, I paint the last secondary hero in the snow, light up the scouting view there and see 2 more Griffin Conservatories. Ivor clears a library, a hive (6), and takes a Dragon Utopia (level 3), while taking it I was practically drooling, thinking, man, pre-max gear has dropped, but it gives exactly what you don't need: a cap +3/+3, a cuirass +4, boots with 15% resistance, and a fire spellbook. I'm happy at least with this, planning to upgrade dragons to oranges and tear everyone apart with Armageddon... I thought for a long time, whether to stay in this treasure zone or hoof it to another, since scouts hadn't spotted anything worthwhile. While Ivor would have been maneuvering with splits, the chain on the snow would have picked up 2 Griffin Conservatories, but all thoughts were interrupted by Shakti, who broke through the 2nd GO from the underground towards me. I break back home, but I'm quite a bit short of ore for the dragon upgrade (((, so I place 4 GM — there's a chain lightning and some fire spell. I see that in Shakti's army there are 5-9 angels, 3x1-4 firebirds, and evil eyes. It's clear that with such might, you can only assault with magic, so I put a scout with a Centaur in the garrison, I stand on a ledge, equipping the boots +15 to resistance. Shakti attacks and immediately uses implosion, taking out 4 of my angels (((, I respond with mass slow and move into melee.... I really wanted to cast Armageddon, counting on unicorns and 15% resistance, but I couldn't push the opponent's angels under 900+ Armageddon damage, so I held off and they immediately wiped out a large part of the unicorn stack with the next implosion....now I was even scared to cast myself :D, afraid I might die along with them... But Shakti was seriously behind in meat, and didn't have the expert defense like Ivor, so soon the opponent's angels were left alone. I made an attempt to blind them with subsequent maneuvers, but forgot about the ballista, which fired at them at the end of the round, ruining the whole plan))). But Shakti decided to fight to the end and couldn't hold out....
There was of course the option to retreat and we would have run around some more.... Shakti had growth of 4 firebirds and an external dwelling of manticores with the summoning portal, Ivor had 3 Griffin Conservatories in perspective and a dragon upgrade, but not this time....
Thanks to Vitalya for a fun game!!!!

24.06.2010. OUTLAW(red, Castle, Lakuсса, Valeska) def GoD(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2SM4d(3), 2-1-2
Only one secondary town was distributed — the Dungeon, which I painted by the end of the 1st week. Lakussa leveled up quite well, getting expert tactics and archery, and grabbing basic logistics. There was a monk cache under the capital, which I painted at the cost of 1 champ((. In the Dungeon, I placed a summoning portal. At home, horses were built with the Stronghold.
Near the Dungeon, 3 hives were compactly located, which I quickly broke at the start of the 2nd week (only 16 vivs :mad: ). I plan to dive into the basement treasure zone, but on their turn, Miner breaks through from an adjacent area with 1-4 angels. I break into a square to meet them. At their own risk, Miner crashes into my scout using advanced tactics. Lakussa, in turn, breaks back into the Dungeon toward the treasure zone. On night 127, I stay before the hive in the underground treasure zone. At home, I placed griffins and monks in the Castle. At the start of the 3rd week, I quickly run through the treasure zone — it turned out to be small and poor; useful things were 2 hives and +2 speed. I break toward the remaining treasure zone in the snows. Lakussa had 2 health rings; I really wanted to find the final component for the phial :cool: In the treasure zone, a shield+4 and sword+6 were found. On night 137, I stay before the Dragon Utopia. At home, I could have placed angels, but there was absolutely no money left for buying on 141.... decided not to place them. At the start of the 4th week, I break the Dragon Utopia(1) — nothing useful except boots... A 2nd Dragon Utopia is spotted; I head toward it. Everything is quite compact, but in the snows without pathfinding, I got stuck for a long time :mad:
Took 2 more Dragon Utopias (1st and 2nd): club+5, water book, fire book, breastplate+4, and red orb. Really counted on getting control, but no luck.... Lakussa fights into the Dungeon, planning to use off-road travel to reach the last remaining available treasure zone, although there was no certainty that Miner hadn't already scavenged it... I held onto the angels until the last moment, anticipating a possible assault on my capital, and that's exactly what happened.. On their turn, Miner takes my capital, leaving me without growth for the next week. Moreover, they had built a Castle up to horses with caches of swordsmen and horses. DD is spotted, and it becomes truly sad.... I decide to try the only chance: a battle behind the Dungeon walls with the red orb. In the Dungeon, I place a castle; meanwhile, I managed to grab one hive in the corner of the max respawn :smile02: , totaling 41 vivs. I enter the garrison and wait... Miner, of course, arrived and attacked:
Shakti's army:
2 angels, 11 scorpicons, 36 champs, 45 crusaders, 168 troglodytes, 57 archers, and 41 evil eyes + explosion for 2200+ damage
Lakussa's army:
11 champs, 41 vivs, 33 royal griffins/harpies, 8 swordsmen, 17 beholders, 78 archers, and 41 monks + red orb
The calculation paid off!!! Miner ran out of money and had to capitulate, failing to break through the castle walls, where my monks and archers were shooting very viciously....
Thanks for the intense battle!!!

It happened! I messed up — didn't realize the trick that the opposing hero was just sitting in the castle waiting for death — in the end, the red orb decided it all — I was simply shot down — and the catapult just wouldn't hit the gates(((

I could have just stalled for time with control — and then just settled it with one meat-wave, but that's not manly;) :p

My own fault — shouldn't have stormed it — in the field, 36 champs would have decided the matter

but still

HUGE THANKS TO IGOR FOR THE GAME!!!:)

Thanks for the fun game!!!!

I confirm!
yes yes, it was exactly like that))
I took rest 113 and then it dealt fine even though 2 stacks came and the other had few Troglodytes, I didn't take the last rest... I broke the Dwarf Cottage right away... the Griffin Conservatory is nearby and there's money... then I run and crush everyone in a row... I downed 18 monks guarding the Inferno secondary... then I smash into the Storm Spirits and capture the Conflux... there I break 20+ G. R. Elves... I got a decent amount of money)) I put a Manticore in the citadel in the capital, Shaktyr leveled Ex Attack, Tactics, and advanced Earth... at the start of the second I broke an external Manticore dwelling for 15 champions... then I enter the maxed Griffin Conservatory... and it began... morale triggered for the Griffins 5 times:eek: ... fortunately I had Mass Slow and managed to get out of the Conservatory... but the losses were huge... then I run to the second Conservatory)) and the scout heroes retake the external Devils dwelling and the Naga Bank(2)... I entered the second Conservatory, it says 100+ and I thought it might not be max (naive:) )... and when I went in it turned out to be max;) ... I had a really good fight there and got out almost without losses... then I started being bothered by the ГО, which I couldn't look at anymore... but then I decided to break it on the 3rd, and myself broke the Utopia(2) at the end of the second... I lost all the meat and 1 angel... I got КЗ, sword +12, and arrows... I build birds in the Conflux... then I made a hard blunder and bought birds and went into the external Mino dwelling with them)) from which I never got out))... at the start of the 3rd I started preparing for the assault... on 1.3.4 I break 20+ Ghost Dragons... the angels had anti-morale and I had to throw the meat to their deaths... the carnage got reeeeeally intense)))):rolleyes: ... I got out of there and then there are about 100 Cyclopes standing... I didn't like them so I attacked them too:smile17: ... I lose 2 angels, and I have to resurrect... out of 140 mana points after both ГО I had 84 left... no money... I move on... explosion under 1000... then I attack Ivor and there's a ton of meat... I couldn't kill them all, and I just didn't feel like retreating)):)
Thanks to Igor for the game!!!:)

29.06.2010, Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Catch (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 8mm6a 132

After all the resets — the real crap began.

In the first week — no pickups, respawn the size of a thimble, the wood mine blocked by 20-49 Evil Eyes, I clear a stack of wood from neutrals, freely take another stack, break through to the Underground, there 20-49 Water Elementals block the way further, luckily there's another road, I go there. A swamp respawn, where I hang out until the end of the week, gathering for Unicorns. Managed to gather enough for Unicorns in the Castle.

In the second week — I took my native Town — Rampart. I see the hero Oleg, switched to the Main just in case. Valeska kills those 20-49 Water Elementals, but heads not towards my Main, but towards the Castle of the captured Rampart Town. I reach Valeska, Valeska has few troops, Valeska retreats. I go to where Valeska came from.

In the third week — I head to the secondary Rampart Town captured by Oleg, and they concede victory to me.

Thanks Oleg for the game!
