Thanks for the game.

The game didn't go well, thanks for your time. :smile23:

28.07.2010 Gomunguls(Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def GoD(Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor)2sm4d(3),1.2.7
On the first, I broke a couple of crypts, 60 archers for a Pandora's Box of 5000 gold... grabbed a couple of secondary skills - Castle and Swamp... 8 heroes. GG 2 - Gunnar and Shakti... leveled Expert Earth for both... on the 2nd, with Shakti I break 2 Naga Banks (4+6) and a level 3 Griffin Conservatory (with a loss of 15 Troglodytes)... transfer the army to Gunnar and he breaks 2 Naga Banks (2+2) and a Medusa Shed... lots of money:) and on 1.2.6 I build Dragons and on the GO... breaking it just didn't work, and I left all the Troglodytes, a couple of Wasps, and a couple of Manticores at the GO... immediately capture the enemy's capital... the next turn I grab 2 Naga Banks (4+6) on his land:) and ride along the road... on 1.2.7 I get attacked and a tense FB... which I won.
Thanks for the game!!!

I confirm! After all the rests on Vitalik's turn, everything seemed super - 10 Elves for Vanka, right near the city a stash of horses behind a crowd of Gargoyles...
But the time of my turn comes and the colors sharply darken...

3 directions - GO, teleport behind the Nomads, 20-49 Monks behind the grass... respawn is just minimal - 0 gold... not a single crypt...

broke through the teleport and got a Barbarian secondary hero - but it's also very poor there, although there is a Dragon Utopia...

I go back from desperation, attack the Monks - there are 26 of them... lost 6 Grand Elves and 20 Centaurs - I could have managed without losses for the Elves, but I got greedy trying to sacrifice the main Centaur stack...

on 116 I had 4 heroes, and Pegasi were built - no money

on the grass I collected some cash, got a Conflux secondary hero and somehow through trading resources for cash and Emeralds I managed to insert the horses...

near the capital there's another stash of horses - but behind a crowd of Gr. Ments behind a shield

Vanka got Earth, a scout hero found Slow...

on the Conflux respawn, a Griffin Conservatory, a Hive, and 5 crypts are revealed.

on the second I collect money, everywhere I put 1000, made a buyout - on collecting money I lost tempo for about 1.5 days - in the end this was fatal, because for another 2 days with Expert Earth I was doing things that I could have done with scout heroes.

in plans for the 2nd week: take a second stash of horses, the Griffin Conservatory, the Hive, and on 131 either hit the GO or break the Dragon Utopia.

but Vitalka in his style

on 126 he breaks the GO (20-49 Hydras) - didn't notice the Shakhter's feet sticking out of the darkness:smile35:

as a result, my capital is taken from me

Vanka gets into the Griffin Conservatory - it, like my respawn, is minimal(((

took the Hive on day 8

I run to the capital

Shakhter takes 2 of my Naga Banks and doesn't have time to sit in my capital...

I manage to kill those Gr. Ments - 30 - scout heroes pick up the shield, but I didn't have enough moves to take the stash - it was 127 and I needed either to decide on an FB or to retake my own capital... I chose the first and was cruelly mistaken...

in the FB, the Dungeon players with Expert Tactics positioned themselves under the Grand Elves' strike

I cast Mass Slow... but the entire FB was won by 1 Red Dragon, on which naturally Slow didn't work and which blocked the Grand Elves, then in response they also cast Mass Slow on me... then 25 Medusas and Eyes on direct shot left 3 Grand Elves... after that I tried to knock out the Angels with single targets, but although Ivan's parameters were greater, 3 Angels did their job... and the Medusas also caused trouble...

overall, I should have gone and retaken my capital on 127 and calmly waited there for growth and upgraded the units...

DESPITE THE OFFENSIVE LOSS AND LACK OF SLEEP, THANKS A LOT TO VITAL FOR THE GAME!!! HAVEN'T HAD THIS MUCH PLEASURE FROM HEROES IN A LONG TIME!!!:smile01:

29.07.2010 AYMAN (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) def bubuch (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), 1.4.7

We started a week ago, I don't remember everything anymore.

On the first [turn], I couldn't place nags; ended up with mages in the citadel.

On the second, I had to fight through stormtroopers to reach the horde on my native second. Placed nag homes in the castle.

On 131, Nella took a max con, club + 5, and broke through to the treasure zone. With one-hitters, I'm pushing the goal and taking a three-con with one-hitters. In the treasure zone, there are two hives 6+8, a speed cloak, and I move toward the previously spotted Dragon Utopia. One-hitters take the Castle second and another Dragon Utopia there. In the second, nags are in the citadel.

On 141, I take the same Dragon Utopia in the treasure zone (breastplate +5, hat + 4 +4 and junk). I break into the castle and on 143 take the second Dragon Utopia, also a two-piece (levitation boots and titan cuirass). At home, I build magic, and with Nella, I break through to the efreet horde for Pandora in hopes that there is magic. It turned out to be 20k exp; I get expert air, earth is already there, and take tactics in the last slot. The blues fight their way to me through a weak passage not far from GO. I build the 4th floor in the capital with resurrection, which is already good. I break back home with Nella and am one cell short of Vali. I stay in the castle. Valka enters reach and Nella boldly attacks. Nella 15-13-23-15 398 gremlins, nearly 40 mages, 7 angels, 14 same-//vivs, 15 nags, 18 golems and 15 djinns. Valka is weaker in terms of stats and power; there are 3 angels, 13 horses, 20 =cruisers etc. In the first round, mass haste and half the troops on the other side are wiped out, and in the second round, the cleanup.

Thanks for the game !!!!!!!

07/29/2010 AYMAN (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) def bubuch (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), 1.4.7

Yes, that's how it was, and for the fourth time, there was absolutely no chance of winning.
Thanks for the game!

29.07.2010 AYMAN (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) draw Dubrovin Pavel (blue, Rampart, Kirry, Kirry) 2sm4d(3), 211

The game turned out to be interesting in that neither of us ever found magic, although I had two empty Pandora's boxes, but no wisdom.

I found three Dragon Utopia, two minis and one double (they gave a lollipop and wings as useful items) and took Pavel's capital toward the end of the week. And Pasha ran into the treasure zone but didn't really find anything there and decided not to continue.

I took some units from Pasha a couple of times via autobattle, and once I ended up in an unexpected mess (the devils wouldn't let me back out)). For which I thank Pasha.

Thanks Pasha for the game !!!!!!!!!

29.07.2010, Erdem (Blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar/Wistan) def sv8888 (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska], 2sm4d(3), 211

Confirmed.

On turn 111, I have 32 archers and can see an external dwelling with angels and monks bypassing the castle; there's no money under the castle, so I have 4 heroes. I move Valeska to clear a couple of minor blocks, intending to upgrade archers in a chain on turn 112. I see an arena behind some wood, with 2 units blocking the path. Gold is nowhere to be seen! There’s simply not enough money for upgrades!
I break down the wood with Valeska and pass the army using the chain formation. I clear the blocks and use my mule on turn 113 to take a near-maxed crypt and pass the army to Valeska. The chain was well calculated – step by step, but Valeska still has a full turn left, and she starts pulling ahead. With only 4 heroes available, it's impossible to secure overnight lodging...

Outcome of the first week: adjacent swamp secondary town with Dragon Utopia=(((, Erdem gets a double, and I find an uncolored external dwelling with hydras. A very extensive and inconvenient respawn area for houses, totaling 5 heroes (due to lack of funds and poverty), an external dwelling with archers and griffins, I scout out two more monk dwellings, a home Dragon Utopia, and horses at the castle.
For the second gathering, focusing on monetary buildings and external dwellings: I occupy an external dwelling with horses + monks using Valeska (falling short by one square from another external dwelling). Using my rogue, I capture two more monk dwellings! 8 heroes - things are looking up!
On the third day, I finally seize the angel dwelling, head back home, and spend three days walking to my home Dragon Utopia=(
On turn 136, the level 2 Dragon Utopia gives me a shield+sword +12/-3, ribs, and a sphere of earth. At home, levels 1-7 in the castle; all that remains of the army are 6 horses, archers, and monks (I didn’t take them to the Dragon Utopia).
And here's where I start making mistakes; I can't make it within 6 minutes!
It's clear that I need to take the adjacent Dragon Utopia before Erdem, especially since there's another one nearby in the grassy treasure zone, but instead of heading towards the swamp, I start moving pawns around. On turn 136, I don't have time to move my mule and fail to break through with Valeska (even though I deliberately left some skeletons alive!). On turn 137, I break through, go to the Dragon Utopia on dragonflies, but 4 heroes are occupied capturing external dwellings; I lack a chain of 4 heroes, think for too long, and again fail to complete my turn!
In general, I overcomplicated things with dismissing/hiring heroes and transferring troops across the swamp, and I don't capture the Dragon Utopia on turn 142! And naturally, it gets taken from under my nose. The opponent disappears (I assume Dimension Door). I send my rogue to check the Dragon Utopia, but he doesn't reach it; Valeska goes after the second Dragon Utopia. There's another level 2 Dragon Utopia further along, containing a helmet +10/-2, a book of water, and junk. I arrive at an empty treasure zone... Meanwhile, Erdem captures the Dragon Utopia and takes the tome of air. I briefly search the treasure zone, but the path home is cut off in the treasure zone, there’s nothing to find, and walking back home through the swamp would take ages...
In short, playing against wings, Dimension Door, and doubles with this basic log (given only in slot 7) is useless, so I surrendered on turn 211.
Thanks for the game!

07/29/2010 AYMAN (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) draw Dubrovin Pavel (blue, rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2sm4d(3), 211

Thanks, Pasha, for the game!

That happened before; I couldn't find any Artifacts, Hives, Magic, or Dungeons in the available Treasure chests.

Thanks, Ayman, for the game!

29.07.2010 Wlk777(red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) def Van(blue, Conflux, Monere, Monere) 2smd4(3) 124 WT
Again nearly a chocolate layout, in WT lately I often get dealt these =). 4 roads, but went the wrong way, as a result didn't grab the native secondary on the first, from that spawn only snagged a wood nymph, resulting in no money for either a portal in the dungeon or a decent buyout on 121. On the second, I take a shield +5 for a horde of gr. rags, a mini Griffin Conservatory, planning to head to the treasure zone—then from the adjacent comes Monere with an unimpressive company (the strongest stack is 2 ravens), Monere rushes toward the capital where he gets rekt by the forest brotherhood, 4\4\2\2 of Monere vs. 4\13\3\1 of Mephala at level 9 with expert armor. Thanks for the game.

It was, thanks for the game.

30.07.2010 GoD(Blue, Miner, Miner) def AYMAN(Red, Rampart, Kyrr, Kyrr) 115

fully restarted

the spawn was rather poor

3 roads
GO
teleport behind the Ice Elementals
metro behind the Crusaders

on 111 I take the Dwarf Miners
scouted a Nix of Medusae and a Griffin Conservatory

checked the Conservatory - roughly 3-4 Troglodytes
found a Nix of Troglodytes
metro along the off-road behind a horde of Castle Archers

Miner leveled up Tactics - I hit the Ice Elementals, break through onto the snow, grab the Tavern there, obviously)

didn't find a single mine, no Sulfur

have to take the Nix of Medusae and Portal them

dreaming of Magi in the Citadel - fortunately there are Emeralds on the snow and a Skeleton house, also a couple of chests. but with guards

on the snow there's also a Conservatory and a Beehive

I give up on the Magi - take the Nix of Troglodytes, want to place Medusae in the Citadel with buyout on 121 and go into the Conservatories. although wood was still needed for the Mage Guild...

another screw-up - everyone was putting Fire instead of Earth despite having a Slow scroll(((

but, as it turned out, Ayman's situation was even worse and upon breaking into the secondary, a throw occurred

he resigned from the game due to lack of prospects

THANKS FOR THE GAME!

30.07.2010 GoD (Blue, Rampart, Rampart, Rampart) def AYMAN (Red, Fortress, Knight, Knight) 115

It was a complete mess. Two second-tier units, Snow Golems. One was defeated, and the other couldn't handle it anymore; the Wolves started to taunt, hinting that Ayman should give up.

Didn't see any unique units.

The rest is self-explanatory. ))

Thank you for your time.

30.07.2010 GoD(Red, Castle, Valya, Valya) def Gomunguls(Blue, Necr, Gosha, Gosha) 135

I took 111 and we set off

at the start 20 archers, not upgraded

the road down is blocked by 20-49 orcs for a cache of pikes and resources

the road to the right - ГО

I go along the 3rd road up - an angel cache was spotted behind some Wizard, and the passage to the swamp is behind 10-19 gold golems - if I had more marks, it would have been a freebie, but as it was, I had to struggle a bit on 112

113 - I take the swamp, and look for the wood for horses, since I can't get to any of my own native mines

I beat the orcs - there are 2 crypts, there is a hive, also there is a hive near ГО, but behind 10-19 greater ifrits

passage to the grass is behind 20-49 greater harpies

horses at home in the citadel

on the 2nd week I take the ramp - there is a Dragon Utopia and passage to the treasure on stones

at this time blue appears on the adjacent snow - Gosha beats skeletons and gets close to the passage to me - I clash with Valya at home and on log+stables for greater flies I want to reach Goshan, who only showed an horde of skeletons and trash

but Gosha moshnes a bit and crashes(((

then I take the hive pre-max with loss of a horse using loh

Valya calmly beats Wizard, having set up pikes

in the angel cache I place vivs incorrectly, well angels naturally hit them, taking out 2(((

but there were no other significant losses

since I didn't find cons on 3 resps, I decide to put angels in castle on the second

clash in swamp - there is a nagobank on 4

clash at home - run to the ramp towards hives and treasure

I take 2 medusa-dens, collect freebies with lohs and on 127 via trade I put angels

on the 3rd I take 2 hives on the ramp on 4+8

run to treasure - there I manage to beat 50-99 demons for a club +5 attack, spot hive and art behind 10-19 angels and Dragon Utopia

on 135 via teleport to the ramp of the second Gosha appears with an entourage and runs towards the Dragon Utopia

chains are up, but didn't have time to upgrade swords(

attack with loh - take out 1 viv with arrow

clash with Valya and attack

GOSHA: 6 8 4 3
8 angels, 13 ducks, 190+ greater skeletons, 40 skeletons, 5 black horses, 40 pikes, 6 vamps

VALYA: 10 11 3 4
6 angels, 8 champs, 18 ducks, 60 marks, 17 swords, 40 pikes, 1 greater fly

in FB I closed the marks and with bless they shot at bones
angels were figuring out among themselves who was cooler in the neighborhood XD - mine played it safe and called some normal acquaintance guys ducks and swords, considering that in the 2nd round Gosha's angels shat themselves - 60 marks under bless and with a direct arrow and other normal guys didn't let them stand long=)))

then I dealt with bones and necro-horses

morale for Valya was going well

then mass haste, which I hadn't cast before for fear of getting mass slow in return, and finished off the necro army and ГГ

THANKS VITALYA FOR THE GAME!!!

30.07.2010 GoD(Red, Castle, Valya, Valya) def Gomunguls(Blue, Necro, Gosha, Gosha) 135

Confirmed!
The spawn was average.. Galtran had 1 stack of 25 skeletons.. others also had small armies... the rest wasn't taken because of 2 Griffin Conservatories)).. I raised a few skeletons and with nothing to do I try to break out to the surface, but my army is already too small, so I decided to attack the water elementals... which turned out to be 40+ with upgraded ones, while I had 4 vampires, 40+ skeletons, an elemental, and 10 Death Knights... fortunately the terrain helped and I got out of the fight with only vampires and a couple of skeletons... then I started raising skeletons on the snow... on the 2nd week I broke 3 Griffin Conservatories (2+2+3) and grabbed a Portal of Glory.. plus a couple more Dragon Fly Hives... had money problems, so I came out of the portal and wanted to smash a Dragon Utopia to buy the rest of the units... there was no one to level up on, and no one to do it with... I trained poorly, hence such a result in FB!
Thanks for the game!!!

31.07.2010 Erdem (blue, Castle, Valessa, Mephala) def Deriel Linch (Red, Tower, Nella, Nella), 2sm4d(3), 123

Top league game in contact. The opponent took all the rests, I did not take any. Slow roads appeared, and from the start I had 20 Archers, 26 Pikemen, 16 Centaurs, and 3 Elves for Mephala. A nearby scout revealed quite a bit of gold, a treasure zone right next to me, many roads, and a free passage to grass — we play. :)
On week 1, I took a couple of crypts, secondary Rampart, painted the external dwelling of Archers, broke through a passage in the subway to the Necro secondary, at home Cavaliers in the Citadel, in Rampart Elves in the Citadel. Dragon Fly Hives at home are scouted by Steel Goblins, there is a convenient exit to the treasure zone on grass, with at least 3 Dragon Fly Hives behind Toptuns and several chests. :)
On week 2, on day 121 Kalt scouted a hive in the subway behind a horde of Nomads (a freebie), meanwhile Mephala on day 122 broke the guard of the first Dragon Fly Hive on grass and was about to take it with meat delivery after Valessa visited the home Medusa dwelling. On day 123, the opponent, right before my eyes, enters the Griffin Conservatory (visible from the scout) and disappears into it — max. I offer auto, but the opponent refuses. :( Thanks to Julian for the game and time! :)

07/31/2010 Erdem (blue, Castle, Valeska, Mephala) def Deriel Linch (red, Tower, Nella, Nella), 2sm4d(3), 123

Confirmed.
117 - Nagas in the Castle.
122 - full buyout, Nella spends the night on the gargoyle.
123 - didn't figure out the console on turn 200. Although, if not for the morality in the first round, it could have been taken.
Thank you, Erdem, for the game and your time.
