We started a game with Ridmi, but we didn't finish it... he hasn't responded on ICQ for a while. If he doesn't show up, Techvina, please don't mark it as a win, just a draw!

Round 11
"Fried Food Eaters" - "Contact Newbies" 2-1

Vigo (blue, Rampart, Knight) def Deriel_Linch (red, Dungeon, Shacti) Jebus 116

On turn 111, I see two Pandoras and boots behind the lizards. On turn 112, I attack them, then take the Pandora behind the zombies for experience, and on turn 112, I reach level 8 with the boots. On turn 113, Knight is level 9. On turn 115, he's level 10 with 10 vivas. At this point, we saved the game, and unfortunately, the opponent didn't have time to finish the game.

Thank you for the game.

Round 3 Roast - Break
01.08.2010 Piterius (blue, Fortress, Broghild, Broghild) def Volland (red, Stronghold, Tiraxor, Tiraxor), WT, 8mm6a, 144

A crucial game. The score is 1-1, the opponent's team is undefeated, we have one loss to Homo.
I buy Brogh for 3k and sell the color for 800, and in the end I didn't regret it. Literally from the second generation things started working - everything went just perfectly, by 113 I already have 8 heroes, external dwellings of basilisks and gnolls, a Hive for a horde of gold flies, more than decent gold. I scout the passage to the center - a lot of eyes, and toward the computer, which turned out to be Tower and is very far to reach. I turn the horse around, and after leveling up to 7th level I stand near the eyes on 117, with hydras at home in the castle.
121 on the other side of the teleport there's a horde of black cows from a Pandora's box, the army isn't fully bought - I decide to go back home for a Dragon Fly Hive, stopping by to break through a university for nagas - simultaneously a block presumably toward the opponent. The Dragon Fly Hive turned out to be mini and the only one on the second, and indeed the only one found and taken by Brogh. After feasting on 4 Medusa Stores with scouts at my own home, I return to the center on 124, hit the cows - they yield 20 basic vampires, the same turn I run to a necro village and sit down to replenish mana. Slightly above there are 2 Pandora's boxes and a Dragon Utopia - nothing to take yet. Meanwhile, the scouts have revealed a Griffin Conservatory at the other end of the spawn, I take the Pandora's boxes (15k gold and 70 zombies), break them, and run to the Griffin Conservatory, only reaching it on 127 - tier 3. I dive further looking for a village - another Griffin Conservatory, a single one, and a box of 35 fire elementals behind a horde of sharpshooters. These fire elementals turned out to be the key squad later :).
Interestingly, I wasn't wrong about the directions and the opponent appeared exactly from the unbroken passage behind the nagas, the place I feared most to see him. It's 132, I get the turn - Gundula with all her might (a dangerous 100+ wolves, 5-9 minotaurs) doesn't reach my scout hero by a few tiles. Great, the army rides from the far flank to the revealed Dragon Utopia, I take it and sit in the necro village to replenish mana, stats 13-27-10-10. Gundula is still raw 3-3-4-4, takes the army home, convinced that wandering around these parts is dangerous.
On my side, 3 more Dragon Utopias are revealed, but two of them are in the far corners of my spawn and the snow one, the third is across a chasm. There's no control, so I put them off for later and continue running along the only remaining path in search of control. Oh, I forgot, on 131 by some miracle I run off-road into my computer's empty Capitol - what a surprise! And I build vampires on 127 in the necro village.
In short, I split the army - Kalt with Learning (which, I recall, can be refused) gets 4 angels and 40 remaining zombies for clearing and continues cleaning the areas around the necro village, Christian with 28 gr vampires runs to kill the orange Rampart, and Dad at the fork heads the other way toward the turquoise Tower.
137 after continuous straight-line running, I finally reveal a Dragon Utopia with Dad, but again behind a mountain, have to go around. I build giants in both Towers. Christian falls with the vampires in an unequal magic battle against Rampart warriors, and Kalt is already on 7 angels with 8 Wyverns.
On the fourth, I continue running toward this coveted Dragon Utopia behind the mountain and finally reach it on 143, meanwhile scouts ventilate the passage from which the reds appeared, Kalt is already on 20 ducks with 7 angels ready to take the Dragon Utopia, Bronch doesn't get control but sees 2 more Dragon Utopias nearby! Well, fat is fat. But the main events unfolded near the reds' village. Assessing the opponent's garrison there, I bring up the fire elementals and park my scout hero a few tiles from the village. The opponent apparently didn't calculate the possibilities quite successfully or promptly, and after several attacks by my scout hero, including Dad with a familiar, a surrender followed.
I guess the heat that day was on my side :).

In the end, victory in the match and the 8th point for the team's piggy bank!

Thanks for the game!

Javdet (red Ramp, Kyrre, Kyrre) def mals (blue Necro, Gosha, Gosha) 142 cmk

A tough game it was. Start on the minimum, except maybe without Ufretin. Roads are slow, but 2 Griffin Conservatories and several good dwellings convinced me to play. I break into the underground - and there are about fifty orcs, and then an important work call)))))) I had to "hang" in the fight with the orcs)))))) 2 Elves, 9 Centaurs, and 3 Wood Elves popped out, who eventually caught up with them on the battlefield))) And the map turns out to be very chocolatey - one dwelling of each, and even 2 Dragon types, but the guards everywhere are tough as nails. By month 2 I was slightly more developed, but thought it was already too late, until Gosha showed up in the adjacent zone - less than 250 skeletons. On month 3 I blundered by picking a Light Magic hero - this caused huge losses in both time and troops. I also screwed up by taking the Dragons in the Dragon Utopia - they just got in the way. At 137 I break one GO, at 141 the second, and leaving the spawn to the noob, I siege the town. A day later, the final battle.

thanks for the game.

Confirmed, thanks for the game.

Round 8. "Homo Homini" - "Devourers of the Fried" (1-1)

08.08.2010 Erdem (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vigo (Red, Castle, Valeska, Kyrre), 2sm4d(3), 141

I took one restart and we began. Roads are fast, starting area in the metro. 3 stacks for Shakti, but Lorelei came to the 2nd :(
Week 1. Beginning. 4 castles (Dungeon, Rampart and Swamp), 2 Town Halls, dwellings 1-4 in the Citadel with a portal, dwellings 1-3 in the native secondary, 2 external Troglodyte dwellings, 1 external Evil Eye dwelling, 1 Gnoll dwelling, 4 markets.
Week 2. Fall. For week 2, the plan was to take the external Hydra dwelling and build them in the swamp secondary. While Shakti and Luna together were taking a Griffin Conservatory-trishka in the swamp, the external Hydra dwelling and 2 beehives (for 12 Wyverns total), Kyrre through an adjacent zone took the capital (army: 5 Angels, 4 Champions, 60+ Marksmen, 8 Wyverns). She hangs around the capital for several days, I break chains as best I can.
Week 3. Exile. During the defense of the Dungeon secondary, Luna level 7, who had broken in there, heroically fell, having managed to kill 1 enemy Angel with a wall. With the last money, purchase of a spell book in GM1 in the swamp, buying out the Hydra from the external dwelling, and with an army of 90+ Troglodytes, 3 Angels, 12 Wyverns, 2 Hydras and 7 Evil Eyes, Shakti in the role of an exile goes into the treasure zone-metro. Swift-footed Kyrre meanwhile captures all my castles. Shakti in the metro takes 2 beehives, Crag takes 1 beehive + a chest for 25 Hell Hounds, the Troglodytes gave up the ghost, and the moral Ogre killed the Hydra :( With all this I go into the Dragon Utopia, lose all the Angels there, the meat and a couple of Wyverns (min: Sword of Justice, Shield +5 and small fry), then another beehive for 8. With an army of 41 Wyverns, 1 Hydra and single Evil Eyes I go at the Greater Efreeti, there are 40+ of them, they killed 8 Wyverns and the last Hydra, and it would have been for something: for a chest of 15k gold :( Kyrre goes into the grassy treasure zone to the southeast of my former Rampart secondary. Shakti on turn 136 takes the external Efreet dwelling and on turn 137 a max beehive behind the Cyclopes, the tip of the chain - Crag with the loss of 3 Wyverns recaptures the swamp secondary, Crag remains in the garrison, Shakti fights in there, growth in the castle as 1+1+38+1+1+1+1 Wyverns, I build Wyverns (the opponent had already built the Citadel). I buy out Dessa, who on Wolves (no one else to recruit, the enemy bought out all the swamp dwellers) runs to the teleporter with a penalty, stands slightly higher in the swamp so that the enemy scouts can't reach her.
Week 4. Return. Turn 141: Kyrre crashes into my capital, runs around the level-up buildings and boosts at the home Dragon Utopia on 1 Greater Harpy, hauls the loot somewhere far away along the chain. The moment of truth arrives! Upgrade of Dragon Flies, Crag drags troops to Dessa, she goes into the teleporter and with an accuracy of 1 MP captures the native capital, Shakti fights in there and with an army of 47 Wyverns, 1+1+1 Dragon Fly, 18 Greater Evil Eyes, 28 Greater Harpies, 13 Lizardmen attacks Kyrre. I deploy with Tactics, cast Slow on the Harpies and Kyrre is sent to oblivion, substantial trophies drop from her (Cloak of the Undead King and other sets of cold weapons). The opponent surrenders. Thanks to Viktor for a beautiful and intense game!

Round 8. "Homo Homini" - "Поедатели жареного" (1-1)

08.08.2010 Erdem (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vigo (Red, Castle, Valeska, Kyrre), 2sm4d(3), 141

I took one rest and we started. Roads are fast, start in the metro. 3 stacks for Shakti, but Lorelei came on the 2nd stack :(
Week 1. Beginning. 4 castles (Dungeon, Rampart, and Swamp), 2 town halls, dwellings 1-4 in Citadel with portal, 1-3 in native secondary, 2 external Troglodyte dwellings, 1 external Evil Eye dwelling, 1 Gnoll dwelling, 4 markets.
Week 2. Fall. On day 2, the plan was to take the external Hydra dwelling and build them in the swamp secondary. While Shakti and Luna together were taking a Griffon Conservatory trash stack in the swamp, the external Hydra dwelling, and 2 beehives (for 12 Wyverns total), Kyrre through the adjacent zone captured the capital (army: 5 Angels, 4 Champions, 60+ Marksmen, 8 Wyverns). She hangs around the capital for several days, I break chains as best I can.
Week 3. Exile. While defending the Dungeon secondary, the level 7 Luna who had teleported there heroically fell, having managed to kill 1 enemy Angel with a wall. With the last money, I buy a spell book in the Mage Guild 1 in the swamp, buy the Hydra from the external dwelling, and with an army of 90+ Troglodytes, 3 Angels, 12 Wyverns, 2 Hydras, and 7 Evil Eyes, Shakti in the role of an outcast retreats into the treasure zone in the metro. Meanwhile, swift-footed Kyrre captures all my castles. Shakti in the metro takes 2 beehives, Crag takes 1 beehive + a chest for 25 Hell Hounds, the Troglodytes perished, and the moral-boosted Ogre Magi killed the Hydra :( With all this, I dive into the Dragon Utopia, losing all Angels, meatshields, and a couple of Wyverns there (loot: Sword of Judgment, Shield +5, and chaff), then another beehive for 8. With an army of 41 Wyverns, 1 Hydra, and a few Evil Eyes, I dive into the Greater Efreeti, there are 40+ of them, they killed 8 Wyverns and the last Hydra, it would have been worth it: for a chest of 15,000 gold :( Kyrre goes into the grass treasure zone to the southeast of my former Rampart secondary. Shakti on turn 136 takes the external Efreeti dwelling and on turn 137 a max beehive for Cyclopes, the tip of the chain - Crag with the loss of 3 Wyverns recaptures the swamp secondary, Crag stays in the garrison, Shakti fights there, recruitment in the castle for 1+1+38+1+1+1+1 Wyverns, I build Wyverns (the opponent had already built the Citadel). I buy back Dessa, who is on Wolves (no one else to recruit, the enemy bought all the Swamp creatures) with a penalty runs to the teleporter, positions herself slightly higher in the swamp so the enemy scouts can't reach her.
Week 4. Return. 141: Kyrre crashes into my capital, runs around the level-up towers and boosts at the home Dragon Utopia on 1 Greater Harpy, carries the bank far away somewhere along the chain. The moment of truth arrives! Upgrade Dragon Flies, Crag brings troops to Dessa, she jumps into the teleporter and captures the home capital with a margin of exactly 1 movement point, Shakti fights there and with an army of 47 Wyverns, 1+1+1 Dragon Fly, 18 Greater Evil Eyes, 28 Greater Harpies, 13 Lizardmen attacks Kyrre. I set up with Tactics, Slow on the Harpies, and Kyrre is sent to oblivion, dropping considerable trophies (Cloak of the Undead King and other cold weapon sets). The opponent surrenders. Thanks to Viktor for a beautiful and intense game!

That's right, I made terrible blunders in a winning game :(
Thanks for the game
