Posts from Reports on online games and their confirmations (Autumn 2010 season).

Vasutka (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 222.
There were plenty of resources on the map, which was good — since I captured the ore mine at the end of the third week and the wood mine at the end of the fourth... and the neighboring town didn't have any mines either.... In the second week, after recruiting manticores and discovering their external dwellings, things became much more lively and Shakti started leveling up quickly).... Red appeared on the map — he captured a second town (I thought he wasn't in a hurry to come to me yet...).
One fine day I stumbled upon red's third town — and I moved my troops toward it, giving the dragons to scout heroes in the process.... And the very next day, he attacked me — the final battle: Shakti level 16, 24-12-9-9, 33 manticores, 29 minotaurs, 117 harpies, 133 troglodytes. Dessa level 13, 13-9-10-9, 7 behemoths, 16 angels. (Red attacked without mana... and Shakti had Earth expertise, etc. — everything became clear after that). Thanks for the game!

10/11/10 Hero of Might and Magic 3 (blue, random, Rampart, Clancy, Ivor) def. bubuch (red, random, Necropolis, Moandar, Tamika) 137 2sm4d(3)
We started a game without a dungeon to make it faster. In the tavern, Ivor, 16 elves on the first level, immediately take an axe and an attack boost. That's where the advantages of the first week end. The start was terrible; I skipped construction for 2 days, barely finished the first week 1-4 in the citadel, and on the last turns, I defended the crystal against 20-49 mummies. However, the log in the hut cheered me up a little. Ivor also levels up quickly.
The second week was a little better; a gnome level 30, but with undesirable losses due to morale. I got a Conflux level 1 on the same day. I went to clear the treasure room. First, there were 4 ulriks, and a scholar with necromancy)). Then, I got tired of removing skeletons... Although they acted like units in a Hive. A lot of birds. Next, ulriks 4, 6, I lost a lot of birds on various hordes of medusas, but I gradually gained Hives. I guarded the Pandora's Box for 10k gold.
The third week was a disaster; I attacked 36 manticores for some reason, lost another 5 birds, and got another 10k gold... Great! :) I gathered my population and went to the opponent's side on the second day. A golden bow for a horde of cyclops (damn, 14 archers as new recruits, and that's it...), Pandora's Box for 10k gold(!) for 100-249 harpies at the exit. If this isn't bad luck, I don't know what is... Especially when I've already exchanged all the resources for money, so I can't build any units, no matter what. 135, I settled in a castle for mana. 137, I hope to build dragons, but I'm missing 10 stones and 2 crystals... >))) I attack the opponent's capital with him inside. Tamika 6-5-6-4

I think the outcome is clear, thanks for the game!

P.S. Can someone explain how to make a thumbnail from an attachment?

11.10.10 Heroes of Might and Magic III (blue, random, Rampart, Clancy, Ivor) def bubuch (red, random, Necropolis, Moandar, Tamika) 137 2sm4d(3) CONFIRM, damn it))) it's a pity that the Necropolis lost, even a draw would have been better, aaa... Thank you for the game!

I think the outcome is clear, thanks for the game!

And why couldn't Necropolis withstand the siege?
Ideally, Necropolis should have been able to withstand the siege with such an army.

Didn't the Necropolis manage to withstand the assault?
Ideally, the Necropolis should have been able to withstand the siege with such an army.

There was no mana, and my archers and ballista with mass bless were taking down his lich in one or two shots. If he was supposed to defend, he wasn't doing it.

10/12/2010. Loi(red, Rampart, Kyrre) def. Wlk777(blue, Dungeon, Shakti) 2sm2d(3) 111

In both cases, the opponent chose all the rest options and surrendered. Thanks for the games.
Update:
We agreed before the games – no technical requests regarding Haven on the road, one road to Haven, and no requests for any other blocks; we use our own. If you decide to guess the layout and take a risk, be prepared to lose. ;)

Delete this and don't embarrass yourself.

I don't see any embarrassment here; the rating isn't particularly important to me (and even now, I only post about a third of my losses if I find the game interesting...), but the question was a matter of principle. I keep my word ("...if you post it, I will confirm it with a clear conscience"), and I would post my own losses in case of my defeat.
Let's just say – if you like to make demands on people, be prepared to meet their demands yourself...

Delete this and don't embarrass yourself.

+1
Probably the first time I'm giving a thumbs up to Valentina :D

I don't agree. Let Valery contact the Arbitration Committee if he wants. And even better, he should delete this and stop embarrassing himself with victories when the opponent can't leave the castle.

Well, I don't know. In my opinion, if there was an agreement to play strictly according to the rules without any gentlemanly conduct, then it should be followed.

And couldn't the Necropolis withstand the siege?
Ideally, the Necropolis should have been able to withstand the siege with such an army.

Generally, yes, the position seems to be holding. Surround the liches with vampires and dreads and just defend, use liches to attack. Even without mana, the towers should destroy everything before the troops run out.

It also wouldn't hurt to separate the single skeletons.

I don't confirm. Let Valery contact the Arbitration Committee if he wants. And even better, he should delete this and not embarrass himself with victories when the opponent can't leave the castle.

There are no grounds for appealing to the Arbitration Committee regarding this matter.
The Arbitration Committee deals with situations involving doubts about a Player's fair play.

Regarding the situation:

Victory in 2 games is awarded to Loi.

I'm waiting for everyone to condemn Loa for how he bullied me when I posted that one report with hundreds of entries =)
The fact that I promised him something there – he regularly abandons games and refuses to finish them, suggesting I post them – I have a conscience and wouldn't post something like that – I thought he would too, but I was wrong.

I'll check it in HotS later... ) In reality, they killed the angels, leaving pegasus, all ducks, all trees, and 2 single units...
No one has written how to make a mini-art yet..

And in general, an angel destroys a vampire, ducks black, archers with golden bows destroy a lich... I don't know how to hold this, especially since we are losing in stats by almost two times... )

Native secondary skill plus 2 Dragon Fly Hives and nothing else tasty. That was enough. Came and defeated the mage castle. Thx for the game.

12.10.2010 AYMAN (blue, Castle, Valeska, Broghild) def JonnyJay (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 143

Thanks, Vova, for the interesting game!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I don't have time to describe it; maybe Vova will tell you.

12.10.2010 AYMAN (blue, Castle, Valeska, Broghild) def JonnyJay (red , Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 143

If from the very beginning, we spent about 3 hours just on the first restarts))
All generations I was underground, but almost all had a native secondary skill.
Shakti came with 2 stacks and I had to break through 3 blocks to the native secondary skill, orcs, hogs, about 35 horned demons, which I got through successfully thanks to 2 heroes with ballistas entering, freed Damacon from prison (lvl 5 with native army), bought Troglodytes at the secondary and went to break about 40 upgraded Dendroid Guards I think, behind them a shield +3+3, a rather unlucky setup and morale to the Dendroids, lost over 40 Troglodytes, at the end of the first month I took another secondary Castle town, where 3/4 of the respawns were simply blocked off by mountains so it was unclear how to get there, there was a max Vampire Mansion, a Dwarf Cottage (15) and at the start of the second month Shakti was home with Expert Logistics, Tactics, Attack and Earth Magic, I took a sword +2+2 and went to the secondary's treasure zone, unfortunately it turned out to be impassable and all I got was a mini Dragon Fly Hive. I broke back home and at the start of the third month took a max Griffon Conservatory at home, thought about breaking the GO counting on surprise, but decided to check another treasure zone, which turned out to be very small with 1 mini Dragon Fly Hive. In general, I wasted a lot of time for nothing, and decided to break the GO on day 136 with a boosted Shakti with Logistics, the neutrals had crazy morale all game and on the GO quite a bit of blood was shed on both sides. Then I sent scouts in 2 directions but AYMAN's respawn turned out to be very large, I knocked out a link in the chain, and having guessed the direction wrong, I ran around there for two days, thereby giving AYMAN time to return home.
Thanks for the game!!

13.10.2010 theShevanesian (red, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def The_Mafia (blue, Inferno, Marius, Marius) 8MM6A 141 We were learning about War Tactics. It was a revelation to see the power of skeletons even without Necromancy with Galtran. I captured my home faction's castle late, on day 124, but by that time everything was already bought up. I ran around collecting resources, got a Utopia (quite a good one - wings, a book of earth magic, and a helmet, all +6), and then attacked. As it turned out, I chose the right direction out of the two possible options, and my opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game!
