The beginning was good... I have money and I see a consultant... I don't take rest 113... Moner also arrived... towards the end of the week, I leveled him up in some good gnome battles... on the 1st day of the 2nd week, I cleared the medusa lair and another gnome battle... I broke into the town and, after killing the vampires for Pandora, I run towards the consultant... I didn't fully upgrade the earth skill, but I decided not to lose tempo and I climbed... it turned out to be a 3rd-level town with upgraded units... I easily clear it and break into the town... on 1.2.6, I approach the Guardian of Order... 100+ minotaur kings... I cleaned it up with Nella and then got armor +4 to magic and captured it... on 1.2.7, I clear the Guardian of Order (128 minotaurs) with the loss of 2 mages and a carriage... I run towards the opponent and don't make it 2 squares to the town... on 1.3.1, Kirr defends the town... I attack and eventually kill everyone with magic... many gremlins and a couple of golems remain...
Thank you for the game!!!

Confirmed.
Took 2 mini-confluxes and 2 hives with 8 units each.
On turn 127, the opponent breaks through to my base; Kirr digs in at the capital, and the pegasi remain at a distance. In the frontline battle on turn 150, with 150 damage for 2 mana, he couldn't counter.

Thanks for the game!

Took all the rests, Vale got 3 stacks, got lucky with a Pandora's box on 112 for 10k, expert Leadership, Archery, Attack. Then in the second, 40-50 halberdiers.
3 external dwellings of spearmen, 1 of archers, took both secondary heroes as scouts, Dungeon and Inferno.
Lots of money, but not a single cons for respawn.
On the second week, I break 4 beehives and all the minis (on 131, I speed up on Archangels (4 units) before GO, not wanting to waste a day charging mana 16/100. After breaking through GO, I leave all my army with Vale because I see that GO is practically adjacent and the opponent could come out at any moment, which happens — Shakti immediately attacks Vale with a small army but full mana, expert Ballista, and apparently all the Air Magic, retreated leaving him a few Wyverns and Medusae. I buy back Monks and Griffins at home hoping for luck in the remaining 2 obelisks, 1 turned out to be maxi, the other mini — 16 Griffins. The opponent uses Dimension Door to my secondary hero, as it turned out, almost without mana and without army (1 Angel, 1 Red Dragon), was about to surrender, seeing that the opponent has Town Portal and Dimension Door, while I have level 1 Magic but expert Earth Magic. Luckily, I managed to reach him in my secondary town.
Thanks for the game!

Yeah, if all the mana had been available in the first battle, Valesk wouldn't have been defeated... Everything was going well, 2 Minor Minotaurs, 3 Cons, took 4 Angels to level 121... I lost all of that around level 123 somewhere in Maxitope, where I got terrible units, and nothing to improve the magic stats of the existing Earth Book. There was no Earth magic, and there wasn't any until the end of the game. In the end, I had 8 Minor Minotaurs left, nothing to do, waiting for reinforcements, easily defeating the Guardian of the Oasis in the early third week. I got lucky and received artillery with an attack of 27, which allowed me to win the first battle... Then came 2 mistakes that led to a stupid loss of a game that was already practically won. First, after the battle with Valesk, the seconds were ticking down, and I got nervous and attacked with less than 50 units, but I had no mana and only about 8 Ducks and Minor Minotaurs... I could have replenished my mana in the central castle and started clearing the center, but instead, I had to run away... And the final mega-stupid move - I settled in a village in front of Valesk with 1 Angel and 1 Red Dragon, forgetting that I was red and wouldn't have any mana... Thanks for the game.

Shakti entered with 1 stack, ended up with about 70 Troglodytes. On the first week, I took a secondary Castle, an external dwelling of archers, upgraded them, took an external Manticore dwelling at home, set up a portal and the Manticore in the Citadel at home, and horses in the Fort in the secondary. As a result, I couldn't buy out anything on the secondary for a long time.
At home, there were neither Hives nor Griffin Conservatories, same on the secondary, and I was severely lacking money.
On the second week, I took another secondary of Barbarians, went into treasure zone there, got a Dragon's Necklace and a shield +3+3. Upgraded the Scorpicores, stupidly lost 7 of them in a Naga Bank to a scout hero. Rushed into the treasure zone with what I had, immediately took a Pandora's Box of all Earth Magic, although I had Wisdom level 2. Took several more different Pandora's Boxes and small artifacts, 2 mini Dragon Utopias which gave a Bowstring and an Orb of the Earth, the Black Sphere and a Helm +10-2. On the fourth week, I attacked the ГО, took the Castle of the opponent, holed up in it, bought out the growth, took his Griffin Conservatory at his home.
Took several more Pandora's Boxes and attacked the wandering opponent, he turned out to be without mana, which would hardly have changed the situation.
Thanks for the game!

That was a thing.
Thanks for the game!

We went through all the rests, the drops weren't great, there were no caches, and no decent artifacts or cubes either; gold was barely enough, and there was no Dragon Utopia or Ulian. The terrain is very inconvenient, but there was a big plus: 3 cons. In the end, by 131 there should have been 10 archs and treasure, but as it turned out at 127, the opponent failed in the max Dragon Utopia.
Thanks for the game!

Yes, I may have gotten a bit carried away. Without mana and a good supply of resources, 6 angels, 24 minotaurs, and 14 vipers make for good food for those colorful winged creatures :)
Thank you for the game.

25.09.2010-26.09.2010 Kluka (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def BlackPoint (blue, Castle, Valeska, Ignissa) Mini-nostalgia 217

Scribbled myself some comps - Conflux, Barbarian, Fortress
Opponent - Necropolis, Inferno, Rampart

Small central respawn with lookout, troglodyte and medusa picks, which I colored on week 3 and even then without need.
On this respawn there are 11(!) quest huts placed.

On 113 I take Conflux, the comp there lost its build tempo, resulting in a first psyche in Fort.
On 117 I almost reached an empty Barbarian town with a citadel, but the comp builds a castle there and leaves it for me. And on 121 gifts me boots of speed.

On 125 I run into the first corner treasure zone, there +6 wyverns, which are sentenced the same turn by 10+ ghost dragons for a pandora (couldn't bypass). Also -1 conflux bird. In the pandora 60 ghost archers. Couldn't build a fort in the village due to lack of ore, so went on GO with ghost archers.
Build on 127 - bears and firebirds in castles.

On 131 I turn in the first quest artifact for 15K experience, the same day I level up earth magic. On 132 I broke into the center GO. Nothing interesting there, on 134 I break back into the corner treasure zone. There I claim another 3 quest artifacts, gradually losing psychics. On 135 I take the pandora for all earth magic.
On 137 I completely noobed - went with a scout against 5-9 giants for the head of legion, lost 2 birds and the remaining psychics. :(

I turn in artifacts, two for 20K experience, 1 for 15K gold, upgrade bears. On the fourth week I went into the treasure zone through Barbarian respawn, and sent the scout with bears and wyverns to Fortress, where due to a misclick in a battle with a green I lost all 10+ wyverns. In the treasure zone a long road to the village, on the sides I picked up another 10+ wyverns.

On the fifth week Town Portal to Fortress, and I go into the treasure zone. On 212 I take the village, nearby I see a Dragon Utopia. At the same time a scout finds a Dragon Utopia near a previously taken village. On 213 I take both Dragon Utopias, both level 3, in the first +5 all stats, +3 all stats; in the second plate armor +10-2, shield +12-3, black orb, wings. On 214 I gather wyverns scattered across all castles, upgrade in Fortress. On 216 I take the opponent's starting castle, go looking for him. On 217 the opponent attacks with a red orb, I have shackles (bought them).

Ignissa 41-22; exp off def tactics, logistics wisdom air artillery, advanced archery, +3 luck/Battle Dwarves; 2 arch devils 5 angels 52 wyverns 27 champions 32 crusaders 36 cerberi 5 efreet sultans

Shakti 19-38, exp off def tactics, logistics wisdom earth air catapult; +2 to speed; +1 luck/Battle Dwarves (total Battle Dwarves neutral); 11 red birds, 4 angels (fool could have upgraded), 48 storm elementals, 18 thunderbirds, 55 greater wyverns, 28 magma elementals, 7 grizzly bears.

First round with wait all forward, birds through the horses destroy the ballista. In the second round blue covers their wyverns with whatever they can, but they get poisoned by my wyverns. By the 2nd and 3rd rounds my wyverns are destroyed, in the 3rd-4th round the bears are destroyed, 10 birds turn out to have nothing left to kill them with, thanks for the game!

We took all the rest, I got an extremely generous spawn — 2 stacks, an artifact for speed +1, 3 Griffin Conservatories visible. I clear the guard and look for a minic, meanwhile breaking the guard on an empty Necro secondary. I take it with a scout hero. Shakti takes the Griffin Conservatory mini, at 121 I take the two-stack Griffin Conservatory and the Dragon's nest. I see that my opponent went down into the metro through the adjacent zone. I buy out the dragon — 3 angels + 1 dragon, 60+ Troglodytes. The opponent couldn't counter anything.
thanks for the game!

Nothing special — a mini and a double Griffin Conservatory, no artifacts except Shield +2, no Dragon Utopias, no Dragon Fly Hives, a Pandora's Box with 80 goblins, spotted two external Angel dwellings actually), but it wasn't meant to be to take them — the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game

27.09.2010 AYMAN (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Neverminder (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 125

The start wasn't bad — 8 free elves and a Bogling with serpents. Scouting reveals the path to the GO crystalline, a road to a secondary on the grass for 20-49 grand, and another road blocked by horses behind the Hive, but I decided not to take the last rest since there was an alternate route. I took two crypts, the Griffin Conservatory was revealed. I broke through to the mud, there I took a dungeon. Another Griffin Conservatory was revealed. I checked both, turned out they were doublies with grand standards. On the mud I take an external dwelling of minotaurs and with a peasant I take a 20-stack gnome dwelling. By the end of the week, Adela took the max crypt on the mud for 3 grand. At home: 1-6 in the castle, in the dungeon a portal with minotaurs.

On the second day — gathering money. Kyrre heads to the stables and to the small dungeon for the spell book. On day 1-2-2 I take the Griffin Conservatory on the mud with grand and minotaurs + a small feast. That worked out well. On day 1-2-4 Kyrre approaches the Hive, the peasants take the gnome dwelling near home at max and prepare a power delivery. On day 1-2-5 — upgrade of unicorns, power delivery, and Kyrre takes the Hive with 8 ducks and immediately the Griffin Conservatory with 2-stack. Kyrre positions on 4 angels and starts moving toward the opponent's secondary across rough terrain. I was preparing a rush, but Dima takes the doublie Griffin Conservatory and immediately dives into the triplie where he surrenders without mana. He didn't want to auto-fight.

Thanks Dima for the game!!!!!!!
