On the first week - 19 Pikemen, they are also built up, switched to Craig, took the Gold Mine, Kirry arrives as the 9th hero, I switch to her. Only 2 Pikemen from current units. Took a Rampart village, another road is blocked by 9 Black Knights. Spotted 2 Dragon Utopia (one is quite far). There are 3 Griffin Conservatory in different corners, 2 convenient Libraries. Put Angels in the Citadel.

On the second week - a Level 3 Griffin Conservatory with Griffins, where I took Pikemen and 30+ Marksmen with 2 Angels, was too greedy with the rest, lost 50 Pikes and 1 Angel there, then Earth Magic became Expert, took a Level 2 Griffin Conservatory. Thanks to the Black Market, upgraded the Angels, took a Level 3 Griffin Conservatory as loot, then visited 2 Libraries, took a Mini-Conservatory, a Mini-Dragon Utopia (Titan's Armor). Put Horses in the Castle, headed to the Center.

Vanya surrenders, since there wasn't much to scavenge in the Center.

Thanks for the game!

It was, thanks for the game.

25.07.2010 RomarioGrom (blue, Swamp, Taz, Taz) def Kluka (red, Castle, Adelaide, Wogmail) Anarchy 147
on 1st it was tough, a small respawn and 2 exits to snow (turned out to be a block) and sands, I took Rampart there, went into the metro (lost a Wyvern after a clumsy fight) and Archmagi below :mad: I go further, snow again, broke through and took Castle, looted Boots of Speed, sold everything from 3 markets down to zero for splitting and 1-6 in Citadel + external dwellings of Lizards and Gnolls 2nd went into the metro where I got a little loot taking a native village, an external dwelling of Behemoths and Rampart, nowhere else to go, and I risked attacking 100+ Ogres, played poorly and a predictable loss :( but it was hard to refuse the generous autor (thanks :smile20: ) I took an external dwelling of Green Dragons and spent the rest of the week there, also taking a Dwarf Cottage (20) 1-7 in Castle 3rd brought reinforcements and avenged the Ogres :smile10: 15k experience in the box and I'm leveling up Diplomacy :smile03: I take a Dragon Fly Hive (6) and a Griffin Conservatory (3) and a turning point, 83 Basilisks decided to help me for free :rolleyes: , another 20 logs in the box and for the entire 4th I jump into the sands towards a Dragon Utopia, scout heroes along the way take another Castle and an external dwelling of Hydras and I break the mini (Hat of the 5th level) another external dwelling of Greens, cleared the treasure zone, 3 Dragon Utopias (Helm +6 Tuol, КВ, Helm 12/3) I recruited 17 Bone Dragons, bought 9 Chaos Hydras :) and went further to explore the lands but on 4th Wogmail flew in and took Castle, I went to him, my stats are 2 times higher, only spell power is lower, I attack the bulk with a big advantage but Armageddon in the 2nd round killed a good half, and as luck would have it I couldn't finish off the Wyvern, 2 remained :mad: in the end I got hit by Meteor Shower and the resurrected Archmagi raised more birds and bought him off, but on the next turn a scout hero successfully snatched the Cloak of Benediction and delivered it to daddy :smile02: battles of the scout heroes and for Castle, I decided to take the main one but sat down to refill mana without a guild :smile35: I came to my senses near the capital, had 40 mana, decided to try to storm it but the Ballista was broken, had to buy him off, refilled mana and decided to take the external dwelling of birds (1 already stolen) and a Dragon Fly Hive from a Pandora's Box but the plan failed and I had to buy him off, while buying myself out using Tactics I notice that Wogmail is holed up in his own Rampart village, I run there, capturing 41 Vampire Lords on the way :) and GG...
I liked the template, we'll master it))

Thank you for a good game!!!

Somewhere around 112-113, there was an opportunity to recruit thieves for 3K gold, but I declined, forgetting all the utility of these creatures when playing with diplomacy... that was probably the main mistake of the entire game.

111. Started with a level 5 Adele, advanced diplomacy and basic ballistics and property :(
On the only road, there's a block of 20-49 grand orcs for a quest artifact. There is a stable and an external market. I took the undertaker's amulet from the chest.
112. Hiring Vokial; found an archer external dwelling behind some griffins (I'll take them only on the 2nd week). I think money is tight, building 1000.
113. Vokial experted necromancy. Scouting showed that there is a lot of gold and chests below (looks like building 1000 was a waste), but practically no monsters! Except for the passage guards — hordes of imps who left their post and went to the water for a drink :-D
115. In the upper edge of the map (about 4 days' travel from the castle), a passage to the metro was found for 3000 with guards.
116. Built horses, transferred the army to Turis (just in case) and broke through those 30 grand orcs. The terrain was against me, -2 marks. Also reclaimed the bravery badge from 11 medusas; again, terrain and petrification on both horses, -1 archer and -1 swordsman.
117. Tan entered an empty elven village (took 6 days with a stable). Took the unicorn external dwelling (losses: 5 archers, 2 swordsmen, 15 spears, 10+ skeletons), although I could probably have fought better. Vokial got logistics.

121. Returned to start. Built GM1.
125. Maxiuley! Broke into one of the central treasure zones. Trying to level up Adele, but unsuccessfully: only lost 2 horses and a viva, experted property. Found 2 bird external dwellings, but decided not to take them.
126. Built the capitol :) — a record!!!
127. Visited the library for 88 magmatics — killed 40 skeletons and 20 pikemen. Took one of the central cities (Tower). There is GM1, but again no haste or slowness. And without haste it's hard... Found 2 more cons, but decided to start with the home ones (and visit the stable at the same time).

131. The first con (unverified) was for 1 angel, of course. But they gave earth! Earth viewing is available; slowness is only in the booth (already fired the scholar).
133. +3 angels (losses: 50 skeletons and 20 gargoyles eaten, but +50 skeletons, total +0). Adele recruited a horde of rags for 11K gold and took a hive on 8, finally experting diplomacy.
134. Recruited 60 countrymen, +6 vivas. But stupidly wasted 20 rags and the remaining unicorns (long overdue — the external dwelling is who-knows-where and they ruin morale). Vokial got wisdom.
Opponent appeared in the central treasure zone on the other side but didn't make contact.
135. Stared at Müllich in the tavern for a long time and realized why he's sitting there — to break through a crowd of snipers! Took naga bank for 3. Adele is urgently evacuating far from the opponent. Taking Pandora for 20 mages.
136. +1 angel, +8 vivas, another +8 vivas. Took tactics in the last slot. Scout found a slowness scroll; I wanted to break it (nothing else to do anyway), but 95 imps couldn't handle 15 dwarves. So I went back to collecting gold :)
137. Mini Dragon Utopia: lost 150 skeletons, got the book of fire, boots of speed, cloak of denial and +1 to BD.

141. After that I messed up and lost a turn. It also turned out that I brought so much army that it doesn't fit in 7 stacks. In the end, fired the skeletons. :(
142. Maxi Dragon Utopia: book of earth, titan armor. Decided to break it with Adele (on 1 unit), but naturally morale kicked in and it was the end of Adele. Upgraded 7 archs.
143. Everything I saw, I've already grabbed; only one con remained. And where I didn't see, as it turned out, there was also nothing.
Vokial ran 3600 moves with log, boots and stable. Only Town Portal for control. Decided to go to the opponent, but my units dealt some funny damage to Tazar.
There was hope for magic (armageddon/explosion), but the cloak of denial left me no chance.

Thanks for the game!

We started playing the YoshiDo game and got to level 115.

I've been online 24/7 for the past few days, but I still haven't found an opponent. :( :)

I couldn't play because it was my fault! I'm very busy in real life... Good luck in the tournament!

The opponent ruined a great generation with a bad move, but it got even worse afterward, although at first, without getting a turn, I thought about restarting because of Ufretin.
4 cons (the reveal showed 5 more nearby, a native village, and a lot of hidden units. It wasn't even interesting to play if it weren't for the tournament; I would have suggested starting over.

Thanks for the game.

Javdet (blue Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def zloy_romantik (red Dungeon, Shakhter, Shakhterg) 2sm4d3 SOD
Confirmed. 2 paths, 1 to Haven, the other to Necropolis. Only troglodytes and skeletons in the hiding places, didn't find any cons...
Thanks for the game. The generator hasn't been this "fun" in a long time.

P.S.: I have updated the table.
P.P.S.: Pit and Javdet can already play the next round :D

Ridmi, respond, I haven't been able to reach you on either ICQ or Hamster for 3 days.

Readme, respond, I haven't been able to reach you on either ICQ or Hamster for 3 days.

Readme will no longer be active on Volde; he left on his own.

The readme will no longer appear on Volde; he left on his own.

He doesn't need to appear anymore. Let him finish playing. :)
But in general, let's wait. Basir777, I think this is your tournament!

He doesn't need to show up. Let him finish playing first. :)
But in general, let's wait. Basir777, I think this is your tournament!

There won't be any more readmes... he's left the Heroes community - let's just say he took an indefinite "heroic vacation" due to being very busy with real life, so you're unlikely to see him here, Basir! =)))

Feel free to think about the next opponent.

28.07.2010 theShevanesian(blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) - SpiriTT(red, Castle, Valeska, Alkin) 8MM6a 136

The respawn turned out decent, an external dwelling of elves under the Castle — we play. Plus, green also has Rampart. Got lost on the topography, found green only on 124. At the end of the second 123456 in the Castle in both Castles and the external dwelling of unicorns at green's respawn. On 132 I take the Griffin Conservatory on 3, run to grab two more when red suddenly jumps in with a so-so army... As a result, on 136 I take another Griffin Conservatory on 2 and attack... Stat-wise I'm slightly worse, the bad thing is less mana — 16 vs 46, but 69 elves. And then my luck began:
1. The opponent did not fly to hit the elves on the first turn;
2. My morale triggered regularly, the opponent's — almost never;

Overall, with difficulty, but I won. You could say it was due to luck. Thanks to Spirit for an interesting game!
