21.08.2010 Piterius (red, Fortress, Tazar, Grindan) def CJIOHuK (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 8mm6a, 147, WT under SoD

Spawned a bunch of shooter blocks, the flies ran out quickly, so I fought battles with noticeable losses. No caches, barely had enough gold for ducks in the citadel without cows. Killed the Rampart AI.
On the second day I got bold and poked a scout hero into a lot of griffin eyes, got the flies thrashed again, found a passage to the blue player, from where they promptly appeared. Had to urgently retreat home, papa wasn't heavily leveled, fought with everything available. Valya galloped to the respawn, but didn't dare attack the castle, turned toward Rampart, having first taken the Tower village. Rampart was a dead end, so I figured I'd smack Valya there before the blue player gathered enough gold for a ransom. After peppering some ranged units with Grindan's level 10 Zealot, I break into Rampart with Taz and attack.
But, whether I was overly confident or just wanted to finish quickly, the battle went terribly, resulting in Taz dying (since there wasn't gold for ransom anyway), and Valya left with 1 knight, 14 archers, and 19 pikemen.
After that, Valya got a bit cocky and attacks my Rampart citadel with her 127 and remnants. 9 elves, 1 Centaur, and 2 Gnolls fought the battle, and Valya ransoms out. Phew... A breather.
What to do if Valya buys back in the Tower and brings reinforcements — that would be the end, but it doesn't happen, meaning I'm given time. Super. I have Grinya with Expert Earth, Scout, and Logistics:).
I take a Griffin Conservatory on the respawn, and with an angel it's easier to break through. I build Slow, and now any hordes are no threat. I break through to my village — the last remaining path — I scout there three whole Dragon Utopias, but not a single Dragon Fly Hive!
I break a hundred wood for a Pandora's Box, spending 1 fly, 8 Gnolls, and all the remaining time, waiting with bated breath for 5 angels, but... they give all the Earth magic, that's also not bad:).
After gathering some gold, I buy a bit of Rampart's army and seize the Tower village, near which is a Dragon Utopia. This move apparently provoked the blue player, and Valya rides to visit again, gradually retaking Tower, Rampart, and arrives at the respawn once more.
While the blue player was pressing, I managed to grab a Sword +6, a Dragon Fly Hive on the sand for 8 ducks. I don't know if Valya saw Grinya in the tavern, but she decides to attack. And Grinya was already in full order — both in leveling and army — plus a compact formation allowed a Meteor Shower to be cast, after which an immediate surrender followed.

Thanks for the game!

Sometimes, sheer luck can compensate for a slower pace over the week. Thanks for the game.

21.08.2010 Piterius (red, Fortress, Tazar, Gringham) def CJIOHuK (blue, Castle, Valerka, Valerka) 8mm6a, 147, WT under SoD

Then Valya got a bit cocky and attacks on her 127 with the remnants against the ramp Citadel. 9 Elves, 1 Centaur and 2 Gnolls gave battle and
Thanks for the game!

Valya didn't get cocky, I just thought you were conceding, you wrote something in ICQ at that time, but it turns out you weren't :( and then I just stupidly screwed around :( my own fault, it was a 100% win :(

08/22/2010 Tovariщ(Blue, Castle, Valya, Krag) def Dubrovin Pavel(Red, Fortress, Taz, Taz) 2sm4d(3) 142

It happened.
In 2 Treasury, I couldn't find anything that could stand up to Krag.
Thanks, Denis, for the game!

22.08.2010 SEM_56 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Wlk777 (red, Fortress, Wystan, Wystan) 2sm4d(3) 117
Took all the rest and it was incredibly sweet, and most importantly - I managed to pull off almost all of it!!!
111-took a mini Griffin Conservatory, troglodytes intact..
113-another mini Griffin Conservatory and immediately a Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels, troglodytes there got seriously beaten -60 troglodytes..
114-mini Dwarf Cottage and Dwarf Cottage for 75, got a log, armor...
115-hive for 8 wyverns, 4 angels survived...
116-another hive for 8 wyverns, broke through to the top, and there I see red's flags..
117-with 4 angels, 16 wyverns and 35 troglodytes I attack the swamp dwellers in the secondary tower, no chance)))
Thanks for the time, saves are attached...

08/22/2010 SEM_56 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Wlk777 (red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) 2sm4d(3) 117

That was it. I've completely lost my ability to play – I can't even kill some pathetic 4 angels and 16 ducks on level 117, even though I had a total of 18 lizards in my starting army. Thanks for the game.

I've completely forgotten how to play - I can no longer kill a measly 4 angels and 16 ducks on 117

Sem would probably have a heart attack if you, Valentin, had ruined such a sweet deal with a restart on the meeting :D
A mini-Griffin Conservatory is certainly lucky for any faction, but when you have k1, k1, k2, and then u8, u8 all nearby - that's a true gift of fate.
Some say Solmyr, Dimer are dangerous when rushing, but I say Shakti. Who else can take a Conservatory on 111 without losses? That's who needs to be nerfed, or else it'll be an endless war of angels against first-level units, and the party is typical.

you need to cut the sm-ку... with a knife across the throat

although I sometimes play myself, but mostly because I don't want to strain my brain))))
basically, here:

Javdet (red Rampart, Ivor, Brogh) def Wlk777 (blue Dungeon, Shaft, Pyrrh) 2sm4d3 BT 134

Not much money, but there's Brogh, he levels up well, he has cons on the respawn point and hides the dragoons, but that's in the 2nd week. From the overview, the native treasure is visible, and in the 2nd week, he headed there. There's not much money, so all the difficult battles are fought with troops from the 2nd week, which greatly healed the tent. He took the utopia, ate, and went to visit. gg.

Thank you for the game.

23.08.2010 Dj Niki del Buddo (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Vitaliyforko (Blue, Tower, Halon, Halon) 2SM4d(3), 1.3.2
On the first turn, ponies in the citadel, 2 stacks of marksmen, Mullich arrived... But the roads are slow, poor respawn, the underground broke through. No roads there either... Valeska wandered and wandered until she found a secondary Dungeon. Forgot to buy the spell book, ran on... Then Mullich delivered a cart of marksmen and meat... for the ponies, naturally, there was no money... ran through the metro to the opponent... There, Halon at 132 is utterly useless... FB. Valya - 70+ gr. marksmen, 50+ pikemen, 20+ troglodytes,
Halon - 12 mages, 130+ gr. gremlins, 12 gargoyles + 50 mana and a frenzied archer. Victory for Valentina...

Thanks for the game

On the first turn, cavalry in the citadel, 2 nomad shacks, Mülli came... But the roads are slow, poor respawn, the underground was breached. No roads there either... Vale wandered and wandered until he found the secondary Dungeon. Forgot to buy a spell book, ran further... Then Mülli delivered a supply of nomads and meat... For the cavalry, naturally, there was no money... ran through the metro to the opponent... There Halon at 132 is completely useless... FB. Valya - 70+ griffins, 50+ pikemen, 20+ troglodytes,
Halon 12 mages, 130+ gremlins, 12 gargoyles + 50 mana and a raging marksman. Victory for Valentina...

Thanks for the game

It happened...
Thanks for the game.:smile02:

Javdet (red Ramp, Ivor, Brogh) def Wlk777 (blue Dungeon, Shakhter, Pirr) 2sm4d3 VT 134

It happened. The only decent matchup with Das and an external dwelling of minotaurs was ruined by a restart. After that there was no mood to play with an external dwelling of harpies and without Griffin Conservatories and beehives, I went for a restart by meeting but there was a block of up to 9 necro horses, after which I could surrender, I struggled a bit more, on day 3 I entered the treasure zone having 3400 MP and there was 1 mini beehive... and here comes the opponent... thanks for the game.

Added after 7 minutes

Sem probably would have had a heart attack if you, Valentin, had ruined such a sweet deal with a restart by meeting :D

Before the restart by meeting there was less than a day's travel left... It's just that 16 Archmages would have been hard to break through with 18 Lizardmen... Of course if I had known I would have broken through...

Someone says Solmyr, Dimer are dangerous during a rush, but I say Shakti. Who else can take a Griffin Conservatory on day 111 without losses? That's who needs to be nerfed or else it will be a war of angels against first-level units, and the game is typical.

We need to stop these arguments and move on to VT long ago, there are about 100 Troglodytes there, you can't conquer much, this wouldn't have happened. And in general it's much more convenient and interesting, it's just strange that someone still plays only in SoD...

Added after 50 seconds

need to nerf SM... with a knife to the throat

Other templates have plenty of their own drawbacks, should I list them?

23.08.2010 Dj Niki del buddo (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Gunnar) def Vitaliyforko (Blue, Tower, Kira, Kira) 2SM4d(3), 1.2.5

First week - Gunnar arrived - the folder is obvious... took 3 (1000 experience)... rushed to the secondary on the grass through 90 liz... smashed them to pieces. Took a secondary Castle. Discovered Griffin Conservatory 2. In the capital, unicorns in the citadel.
On day 121 hesitated, took the Griffin Conservatory... though lost 2 unicorns and a lot of meat..

On day 124 approached the opponent's capital. FB in his castle.. Gunnar - 2 griffins, 25 grand elves, 17 grand marksmen, 3 unicorns. Opponent has - 20+ grand gremlins, 4 gargoyles, and 6 golems. Outcome is obvious.

Thanks for the game!
