01.10.2010 Neverminder (red, random, Castle, random, Müllich, Tazar) def SEM_56 (blue, random, Inferno, random, Axis, Izra) jebus cross 143
Each of us had two restarts on 111, and we used them. Now that's extreme! A feverish thought: who will be assigned...
Castle was assigned to me. The opponent has Inferno. Starting hero is Müllich, who was immediately sidelined. Edric and Geon are in the tavern. 13 archers in total at the start—not much. But then Tazar arrived as the next hero! Father found. Well, Thorosar with a ballista also joined, which isn't bad either. During the first week I messed around, as the main task was to get angels. Captured the second dungeon dwelling; with surprise and joy, I saw a book of earth as a relic artifact on the respawn for only 5-9 upgraded hydras, discovered several external dwellings, including the two coveted ones—the angel ones. But I didn't go in during the first week since their guard was quite strong. On the sixth day of the game, the first feathered one flew out of the castle.
On 121 another one joined him, and that's when the game truly began. I hit demons for a pandora—they give 40 upgraded archers. I hit horses for a pandora—they give 20 upgraded griffins. At first Tazar leveled up terribly: at level 3, luck and mysticism were offered as choices. Then they pushed navigation, first aid. I decided for myself: if these two skills are offered as a choice at level 6, I'll write that I surrender. But wisdom was given, and the game continued. Took the first external dwelling and the first hive with 8 wyverns, then Tazar went home, while the army went to take another external dwelling, another hive, handcuffs (!!!), and an earth orb. Built a summoning portal in the dungeon; didn't take any more external dwellings.
On 131 Tazar, with 5 angels, 16 wyverns, and single-digit upgraded griffins, entered a can: it turned out to be for three Angels. On the same day, Tazar took a hive with 4 wyverns and approached the Dragon Utopia. Checked: it's a three-stack. On 132 I was informed in the tavern that Izra had more castles, which means by the start of the third week she is already in the treasure zone. Meanwhile, Tazar is level 11 with skills 4-9. Entering the Dragon Utopia with 10 Angels, 18 wyverns, and single digits. The dragons are mean and ruthless, they take out quite a few of my ducks and even kill one Angel. The Dragon Utopia gives Gladius, medal of vulnerability, necklace +3 to all, well, and most importantly, what everything was planned for: 40 thousand. Finally there is money to build Archangels and partially upgrade them. I find out that I have two ГО, and they are positioned such that it's mandatory to hit both: 50-99 scorpicorns and 100-249 royal cyclops. Remembering the book of earth, I take it, while expertizing earth in the battle with hydras. Well, further on it's not very interesting: there is mass slow and a mountain portal. In the treasure zone I take the swamp castle, a mini-utopia which gives wings, several pandoras for experience, and one pandora for 40 non-upgraded elves. The parameter race began. On 142 I saw Izra for the first time; she was slowly but surely advancing toward my swamp, but fell a few steps short of it. Further is completely uninteresting: portal to the dungeon, double the mana, take handcuffs from the arriving Broghild and attack with 16 Archangels, 90-something archers, 20 wyverns, 40 elves, and single-digit upgraded griffins. Izra has 5 devils, 13 upgraded efreets, and single-digit efreets. With an explosion that hit for 2587 hitpoints, I kill 13 efreets; Archangels kill the devils. It's Izra's turn. She wants to surrender but cannot. Out of grief she kills 6 Archangels with an explosion, an efreet hits the archers, kills some and dies. Thanks for the game!

10/01/10 Oelm (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def. Wlk777 (blue, castle, Valeska, Dessa) jebus cross 127 We played full SOD for 10 minutes. We restarted, and it went well. The Hive was not far from the castle, near the swords. But Brogh had no archers. On turn 111, I built a Wyvern. On turn 112, I built a Hive with 8 Wyverns using Tazar. On turn 113, I built another Hive with Brogh on the other side of the spawn. Wyverns: 18. I foolishly gave away 26 Gnolls in a battle against Minotaurs. By turn 115, I had scouted most of the spawn. I had 25k and the Hive was very far away, but there was a +3/+3 shield near the Monarchs. I was planning to take it with Ogres on turn 117. On turn 117, Tazar was at the Gate of the Gods – upgraded goats. Buildings 1-7 in the castle with a Wyvern lair. Turn 121. I upgraded the Wyvern to level 29, but I messed up at the end and didn't deliver the army to Tazar. On turn 122, I rushed into the center, took a Hive, and the next day, another one for 9 gold. Then I headed towards Utopia. It was a mini-relic, the Amulet of Life +3. Ogres scout the center, but there's nothing special. No Utopia, no good artifacts. Only a red orb near the Black Dragons. Tazar finally gets the Ogres. On turn 126, Dessa appears at the spawn and attacks Brogh; I pay him off. On turn 127, I buy back Brogh, he takes the red orb, and we attack. Tazar had no chance in the final battle (although Tazar's army wasn't great, he had 42 Wyverns), because there were only 3 Angels instead of the possible 5 Archdevils (it was a trap). The blue player surrendered. Thank you.

01.10.2010 Gomunguls(Red,Castle,Valeska,Das)def AYMAN(Blue,Dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) 2sm4d(3),1.4.7
Start was okay... on the first [week] I grabbed my own secondary town... at the beginning of the second, I defeated 60 gr. Earth Elementals for the external dwelling of horses... then I took back the boots... then I went into the hives. It turned out to be Maxi)) I got out without horses... then Valeska runs to the external dwelling of angels and Das goes to the treasure room... first I broke through nearly 50 gr. Minotaur Kings... and here stand Phoenixes... nowhere else to go and I didn't want to lose tempo, so I attacked... lost a lot... took Pandora's boxes behind them—the 1st was 60 pikemen, the second 15 thousand gold... then I take down the external dwelling of angels for 40+ gr. with Basilisks... at the beginning of the 3rd, I broke Maxi's Naga bank... then about 30 gr. Cyclops for a Pandora's box... then to the treasure room to take down the Dragon Utopia... overall the speed was immense... leveled up Earth [Magic] only at the end of the 3rd week... on the 4th, another Dragon Utopia and into the city... having a huge advantage, I relaxed and messed up once))).... on 1.4.7 I attack the enemy hero in the city... having the Red Orb, Cursed Armor, and Sniper's Bow + a large army, FB had no chance of course....
Thanks for the game!!!

I messed up during the rush, serves me right, thanks for the game...

01.10.2010 Gomunguls(Red,Castle,Valeska,Dace)def AYMAN(Blue,Dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) 2sm4d(3),1.4.7

It was played. We played with one restart 111, Vitalya took his, and I decided not to take it because there were many roads and two money-makers, but only 108 Troglodytes in total.

On the first week I searched for external dwellings, but unfortunately saw nothing except one Troglodyte dwelling. I took an Inferno secondary hero, broke out of the metro to a Barbarian secondary hero, but there were many grand elites there, abort. At the end of the week, a scout hero revealed an external dwelling of Devils, but I couldn't reach it on the first week (I didn't take Troglodytes, planning to take Devils on the second week). I took two Dwarf Cottages with a miner for 20 each, home 1-6 in the Citadel.

On the second week everything was very slow, weak tempo, I took the external dwelling of Devils with a portal, a Conflux secondary hero, and the miner stands near the metro in the treasure zone.

On the third week I break into the treasure zone, it turns out to be deserts. Turnaround, Lorka ran there. Since I don't see any good treasure zones, I force my way into the teleport to the Inferno respawn. I break through, thought I landed on Vitalya's respawn, but it later turned out to be a treasure zone on grass. I took two Hives there with the miner, 6 and 4, and a +4 shield with a ring of speed, and Vitalya ate everything else ))). Meanwhile, scout heroes revealed a Dragon Utopia near the Barbarians, and Grinya took a three-level Griffin Conservatory there.

Prospects are weak, on the fourth week I break through to the Barbarians, take a two-level Dragon Utopia, there is a Glak and Titan's Plate armor (which also doesn't help, no normal magic). Then Vitalya takes the capital, and later reveals the Armor of the Damned + Orb. Hello, here we go ))).

Thank you Vitalya for the game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the beginning, two hidden groups of Pegasi and one of Dendroids. By the time I reached the opponent, he had already defeated himself. Thanks for the game, always ready for another battle.

10/02/10, soulist80114522293 (blue, Fortress, Ivory) def R55MAX (red, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 134

Instead of rushing into a fortified position without scouting, you should have run towards me. 8 champions with advanced tactics from Valeska would have turned the elves into mincemeat, and after that... thanks for the game.

02.10.10 JonnyJay (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Fidail (red, Rampart, Kairie, Kairie) 2sm4d(3) 126
It started well, my main hero took the second town after 5 turns, although he managed to break through with the first cavalry on turn 116.
At the beginning of the second turn, I took a Dungeon with a bunch of red creatures and hives with 8 bees, without any feeding. There, I lost the rest of my cavalry and a dragon. On turn 126, I saw my opponent approaching my town. I rushed Valeska home, gathered the remnants of my army.
I had 1 red hero, 50-60 archers, 8 geese, 5 swordsmen, 26 spearmen, and about 15 griffins. My opponent had 3 grand griffins, about 15-20 elves, and 10 pegasi.
I attacked with Valeska, thinking that victory was already in the bag, but my opponent started shredding my creatures with a meteor shower. As it turned out later, he hadn't built GM4 and used a scroll for MD.
Thanks for the game!

02.10.2010, Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valeska, Gunnar) def Gomunguls (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) Jebus Cross 124

On the first week - 20 Pikemen arrived, but they are built up, there is a Black Market, 2 Dragon Utopia nearby, 1 Hive. Took the Tower and Stronghold villages, almost lost to 94 Harpies with a Level 10 Hero, only the Ballista saved me since they were distracted by it, while 19 Marksmen managed to run out of the Pocket. Bought an Angel, took the Angels' external dwelling, there one little Angel managed to break through the cover and take down 8 Marksmen. Took the Swords' external dwelling. Angels are in the Stronghold.

On the second week - with 20+ Snow Genies I take another same Angel external dwelling, a double Griffin Conservatory, a group of Angels, then take a Mini Dragon Utopia (Wings), then a Hive for 12 Ducks, a Pandora's box for 45 Peak Goblins, another Mini Dragon Utopia (Sword for all), at 124 I hit ГО (up to 100 Cyclops Kings, take a Pandora's box for 45 Orcs, stand by the Dragon Utopia and Necklace for All. Vitalya on his turn also hits ГО and attacks. Neither of us has magic, but my Marksmanship is 250, Vitalya' same is twice as low and he has Mass Slow, which I don't have. Gunnar's stats are higher, which together with 8 Archangels decided it.

Thanks Vitalya for an interesting game!!!

Thanks Vitalya for an interesting game!!!

Confirmed!
Start with 2 stacks.. break through ~20 gr. cows for the Golden Bow.. then beat some neutrals and kill about 50 gr. golems... seems everything is fine and a Pandora's Box is nearby, decided not to take the rest))... then beat a few banks and started clearing the respawn... on the 2nd I broke a Griffin Conservatory lvl 2 and a couple of Dragon Fly Hives. nothing else decent.... head to ГО... about 50 gr. Black Knights... didn't break through them too well... lost a decent amount... and then Gunnar.... nothing to be done, decided to attack... but of course you can't do much against stats and 8 Archangels)))
Thanks Pasha for the game!!!:smile20:

30.09.2010 Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (blue, random, rampart, malcom, gundula) def Legionerdv (red, Tower, eine, nella) 2sm4d(3), 214
We kept gathering, gathering.. ) for a month. I wondered whether to go hit the rust dragons on the 3rd, after taking the conserve 2. Decided that I'd get something from them, but then own army would be gone. :) Went into the treasure room. There I was losing my own and getting other mins and vivs. No Dragon Utopia there, a few hives, just in name. Got smashed reaching a dead end. The next day the opp gathered and came for me. I had just enough time to pass the army along the chain and attack. Power-wise we looked visually equal, but it turns out he had his own secondary. 77 mages against my 23 pegasi. =) But no gig-tit. I have 5 greens. Only in the middle of the battle did I realize that he also had a gathering vessel of life... Strange, stats were almost identical, he should have had more army. My magic is slightly better. But in battle everything was limited by the 2nd guild. Result - won with a lead of 4 viv, 10 dend, 90 kent. Shackles had the last word
My best art - shield 5 def. His - helmet of enlightenment.
Thx for the game )

confirmed! thx for the game!!

02.10.2010 Wlk777(blue, Rampart, Ivor Ivor)) def JonnyJay(blue, Castle, Valeska, Gunnar) 135 Panic
We got 2 Griffin Conservatories on the respawn, an external dwelling of pegasuses, on the first week 1-6 in Castle, at the start of the second week 0 gold, took 2 Dwarf Cottages for 15 and 20 dwarves essentially with first week troops... Got Mass Earth, Conservatories 2 and 3 dropped with the loss of some units... Well, and for finding the opponent, Ivor is like a slow tank (nothing for speed except stables) but powerful (5 angels + Mass Slow + Mass Shield + expert Town Portal skill + Forest Brothers — 10 Grand Elves, around 40 Silver Pegasi, about 50 Grands and so on) moves across the map without risking speeding up.. Almost built Mage Guild 4 (got Resurrection and Town Portal) when Gunnar showed up and ran into this tank, in the lightning bolt he could only kill the Grands, the rest were almost intact. Thanks for the game.

02.10.2010 Wlk777 (blue, Rampart, Ivor Ivor)) def JonnyJay (blue, Castle, Valeska, Gunnar) 135 Panic

At home everything is very modest: 1 crypt, 1 level 20 dwarf dwelling, 1 medusa dwelling. My opponent has 2-3 times more of everything. I barely managed to afford the cavalry in the citadel, tight on gold. Gunnar is level 121 with expert tactics, earth magic, and level 2 logistics. I clear all respawns in a row, but on 4 of them I find no stat artifacts; at home only a skeleton +2 attack and on the 3rd I found boots. Also not a single Griffin Conservatory or hive on any respawn. I take 4-5 Pandora's Boxes hoping for experience. They give all sorts of junk — either 5k gold, 15 elementals, or 30 unupgraded gargoyles. In one I got all the air elementals, but I didn't take wisdom at level 7 because I thought there would be at least one Pandora's Box for experience; my secondary town has built GM4 with meteor shower. And sometimes the panic is very uneven in terms of the situation.
I observed my opponent for the last few days; all his movements were plain to see, but I decided not to drag it out or overthink it — there was nothing left to squeeze out.
Thanks for the game!
