28.10.2010 Oelm (red, Castle, Adel, Shachti) def. Neverminder (blue, Rampart, Roland, Kirra) 135 Anarchy SOD 160% dirt roads. I played Anarchy for the first time. I decided not to take rests if it wasn't too difficult. In the second round, I got a map with three secondary resources, but one road was blocked. However, I could immediately see two hives, Shachti and Luna in the Tower. Luna immediately went to level up, gathered some bottles of flammable mixture, and started attacking. They gave her a 4th-level scroll, but not just any city portal, but a wonderful spell called "Sorrow." Luna grumbled, but gave the army of 20 archers and 45 pikemen to the fierce warrior Shachti (nickname: miner, because he walks around dirty and doesn't wash his hair). He gathered the pikemen, some greenish troglodytes, and 20 crossbowmen, and began to explain the ingenious tactic of how to defeat the diamond creatures-golems that guarded the abandoned, crumbling hive. Shachti won the battle with his army, but he didn't dare approach too closely, as the bees were buzzing as if there were hordes of them in the hive. But Shachti wasn't going to sit idle. He called a council and appointed himself chief commander because he had studied the art of command - logistics. He searched the catacombs, and in the meantime, his army captured another noble castle and was reinforced with 14 spearmen and 9 crossbowmen. Aunt Silvia found a market far outside the city, and she liked it so much that she practically didn't leave for three weeks, even sleeping there. Meanwhile, on the 5th day of the war, Shachti killed 18 swamp wyverns, three of which were poisonous, and lost 60 green creatures, but the guard was easier from then on - fierce magical ogres, so he sent the fire-breathing Luna to deal with them. Seven days hadn't even passed, and the defenders of the noble castles - angels - had already appeared. They were expensive, but what could he do? And he had three castles under his control. In the morning of the 8th day, Shachti climbed into the abandoned hive, and there were 90 hungry flies, which bit him a little, but also added 12 swamp creatures to his army. And he found commander's gloves nearby, which fit perfectly. On the 9th day, there were 20 swamp creatures in the army, and Shachti received the rank of first-degree diplomat for his military merits. Luna also deserved the same rank for her military merits, and they went to explore the vast lands, searching for the enemy and exploring the impassable territory - deserts and swamps. Although they were given diplomatic ribbons, all sorts of creatures still didn't want to listen to them, and they would either go to the left to the elven archers or to the right to the stone gargoyles, and they didn't care about diplomatic regalia; they would immediately draw their knives. Finally, in the corner near the high tower, djinns were guarding a box. Shachti's servants bribed them, and in the morning they were already summoned under a single banner. They had nothing to do but serve, and they brought 50 stone gargoyles with them. In the far west, Luna found an old magical scroll, but it was not easy to understand. There were some doors, some dimensions, but there were those who explained what a powerful force the spell had, and they took it from Luna and gave it to the chief. Shachti, meanwhile, walked along the deserted road, searching for hives. It seemed that it had become easy for him to deal with swamp wyverns; they were not picky in food at all, and they were very powerful. On the 15th day, Shachti reached the magical dragon castle, and he persuaded them to give him three relic artifacts - a helmet that increases knowledge, a black sphere, and another hat with dragon teeth on top. But Shachti knew what these toys were, assessed the situation, and decided not to deal with the dragons anymore, but to look for relics in underground labyrinths. On the 16th day, he took the magical shackles, and the enemy was stunned (he had been watching through a magic stone all this time what was happening in the dungeon). And the next day, he found a book of earthy color, but not a simple one, but the most desired one, with which Shachti's army could instantly move around the outskirts of the kingdom. Kirra (that was the name of the enemy leader) could not stand such looting in the underground labyrinths, and she rode on horseback with all her army to the red castle. Meanwhile, Shachti's army already had 4 great angels (fearsome in appearance), 22 black knights, 56 swamp wyverns, 22 mercenary cavalry (they demanded 28 gold, otherwise they wouldn't do it), and all sorts of other creatures, ready to catch up with Kirra with the magical shackles and shake her well for the necessary relics. But mysteriously, the army and Kirra herself disappeared in the desert, and at the end of the day, carrier pigeons brought news of the enemy's surrender. thx for game.

28.10.2010 Oelm(red, Castle, Adela, Shakhti) def Neverminder(blue, Rampart, Roland, Kyrra) 135 Anarchy SoD 160% muddy roads.

I confirm the defeat.
The start was very average in terms of gold, so few heroes on the first day and I don't even know what to do. But on the respawn, right from the start, I revealed two Griffin Conservatories, an external dwelling of unics, and picked up a Sword +2+2. My opponent has Luna shining her face in the tavern, but if you respawn something like that, then what's the point of playing at all? So, I stay. The fifth or sixth hero was Kyrre, I decided to make her my main. But for now, the Diplomat is leading, while Kyrre runs around picking up Knowledge stones and other stat boosters. Along the way, she captures an empty native village on day four. There, in the first week, I build a tavern, fort, Elves, and Wood. In the main town, 1-6 without Dwarves at the Citadel. As I scout the respawn, it turns out there aren't two, but five Conservatories, two of which are on 2-4, and three on 3-4. That means at least 13 Angels, and up to 20. If he builds them, that is. At the end of the first week, the Diplomat recruited 40 Master Gremlins, and Kyrre, not without their help, took the external Unicorn dwelling on 117. And right away she spotted an external dwelling of Elves nearby. She runs there and reaches it, since she visited the Stables. I scare off the guards, buy the Elves, next to it is a Pandora's Box behind Gnolls.
There were Grands 20-49 standing on the respawn, guarding a Dragon Utopia. I decided to try and recruit them with the Diplomat on 121. I almost completely emptied the secondary town and the capital to make the army look more impressive; the Pandora's Box gave 5000 gold, I run to the Grands. Hooray! They joined, and for free, 42 of them. On day 122, I have 89 Grands, and I understand that Angels are coming. Over the following days, Kyrre sequentially took five Conservatories, and then on day 126, the Dragon Utopia. However, the Utopia was a mini, and it essentially only gave the Dragon Armor. According to the Thieves' Guild log, at this point I was ahead of Shakhti both in stats (12-15) and army (14 Angels, 89 Grands), so I rushed to find my opponent. But while I was looking for him, he built Archangels, acquired Dimension Door, and I realized I couldn't win this match, because after visiting the Underground Cartographer, I saw Shakhti jumping around and grabbing various goodies, plus he had a Diplomat to boot. And Kyrre was never given Diplomacy. Out of frustration, I scared Luna off as a last resort, ran aimlessly, stumbled upon a level-3 Dragon Utopia, in which it killed only 28 Elves and 15 Centaurs, which surprised me immensely, and it gave a Gladius and a Necklace. My stats became 30-17, but that was poor consolation against Shakhti the Diplomat with 4 Dimension Doors. I surrendered.
Thank you, Pavel, for the game!
P.S. A bit unlucky: I didn't find a Hill Fort in the first two weeks. 14 (and a bit later 16) Archangels could have pulled it off. But it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks for the game.

Everything was going average, horses got stuck at the Citadel and secondary Tower with 2 stacks of gremlins—two treasure zones nearby—at 117 opponent's defeat and refusal to autosave. Thanks for the game

10/28/2010, Wlk777 (blue, Castle, Valeska) def Tovariщ (red, Barbarian, Gurnisson) 2smd4(3) 117
another series of defeats, Gurnisson came without a ballista, bought a ballista in the external shop, and in the first round, the rogues are moralizing in the dungeon - minus all the ogres, then in the second round, they moralize and eat the ballista.
Thank you.

28.10.2010 P.Alexei (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def The_Mafia (red, Valeska, Valeska) Jebus Cross 141. (WT)
Gave out many caches, two cons at (3 each), 2 Dragon Utopia. Collected everything except the utopias and moved to the center on 131 to avoid risk. In the center, I only took Pandora on level 1 and a level 3 Dragon Utopia. Valeska appeared, showing 10+ Angels and 5+ Archangels; stats in the tavern were roughly equal. Therefore, I decided again not to rush and take the remaining Dragon Utopia houses, which ultimately saved me. In the last 3-set, they gave a Sword +5 and Helmet +6. In FB, after the opponent used magic, I blinded 17 Angels, then shot them down with an Explosion for 1700.

Thanks for the game.

Handled the battle incorrectly even though there were every chance

It's a long story - I barely managed to get enough units to upgrade to Tier 14 angels, and their stats were terrible. On turn 217, I was attacked by a Shaktar, but 14 Archangels against 5 Black Dragons - there was no chance for him. Thanks for the game.

Confirmed! Thanks for the game.

10/29/2010. Vasutka (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def. Neverminder (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 214 2SM4d (3) This player said he won't confirm the game, so think about whether it's worth spending your time on him....

27.10.2010 TERI (red, necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Vasutka (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) Jebus Cross 211

At the respawn there are 3 cons 1+2+3 and 1 minimal hive, near the Dragon Utopia house with the earth book, 3 dragon external dwellings and 6 skeleton external dwellings. I exit into the treasure zone via thunderbirds, almost 600 upgraded skeletons, but here on the road are ifrit-sultans, they killed almost 200 units. Along the path I take 2 Dragon Utopias. On 211 it is plague week, which is for the best, didn't have to wait for 212)))) In the secondary town I double my mana, upgrade 15 dragons, pick up the remains from last week in the Castle, return to the treasure zone via city portal and only then notice (forgot to do a turn repeat), that blue has already come out to meet me. I go - fight - accept congratulations))))

Thanks for the game

29.10.2010 AYMAN (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def soulist80114522293 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2SM4d(3), 125

Kolya chose rests, giving me Gosha as a rest )), and a second good draw. As a result, we started, and I didn't take the rests.

The money split was good; on the second day, thanks to two zones of 8 heroes and a secondary Conflux. Kyrre at 112 took a Pandora's Box behind the golems for 5k gold. The tempo picked up, we accumulated an indecent amount of money. At home, uniques in the Castle, 1000 in the Conflux, firebirds in the Citadel, and 20,000 for buyout on 121 ))).
Kyrre stands near the Griffin Conservatory at home with Expert Archery, Logistics, and Basic Wisdom.

On 121, Kyrre takes the Griffin Conservatory (turned out to be mini) and immediately the Pandora's Box above for upgraded Greys [Wasps? Or perhaps a specific creature? Keeping as "vasyas" tentatively? No, "грейж васями" - likely "upgraded basilisks"? Actually "васями" is ambiguous. Keeping as "upgraded basilisks" is an educated guess. Better: upgraded basilisks] for 10k experience. I expert Wisdom and Earth. At home, I build a guild, there is Slow. I split Kyrre to go home, and the chain goes to the Griffin Conservatory in the Conflux. Erdammon breaks through it; it turns out to be a Tarrasque [Throng? "тронговая" - likely "Tarrasque" from HoMM3. Keeping as "Tarrasque-based" or "Stronghold-type"? Actually "тронг" commonly refers to Tarrasque in HoMM3. So "it turned out to be a Tarrasque"]. On 123, I split Kyrre into the Conflux and approach the conservatory, and the stables are nearby as well. On 124, I take the second conservatory, and split to go home, and with angels for a speed boost before the metro (presumably towards the opponent); there is a native secondary from the first week. On 125, I break through a horde of Lizardmen, then exit the metro and reveal the secondary with a view spell. I take it; it turns out to be the capital. Kolya decides not to continue.

Thanks for the game !!!!!!

Kolya chose the undoable fights, giving me Gosh )), and a second good layout. In the end, I started without taking the undoable fights.

The gold was distributed well. On the second day, with the help of two zones, 8 heroes and a secondary Conflux. Kyrre took a Pandora's Box behind the golems for 5k gold on 112. The tempo picked up, we accumulated an indecent amount of gold. At home, uniques in Castle, 1000 in Conflux, Fire Elementals in Citadel, and 20,000 for buying on 121 ))).
Kyrre stands near the Griffin Conservatory at home with expert Archery, Logistics, and basic Wisdom.

On 121, Kyrre takes the Griffin Conservatory (turned out to be minor) and immediately a Pandora's Box above it for Grail Vassals for 10k experience. Expert Wisdom and Earth. I build the Mage Guild at home; it has Slow. I town portal Kyrre home and the chain goes to the Griffin Conservatory at Conflux. Erdamon breaks through it; it turns out to be Trog. On 123, I town portal Kyrre into Conflux and approach the Griffin Conservatory and the Stables nearby as well. On 124, I take the second Griffin Conservatory, and town portal home and use Angels to boost speed before the underground (presumably towards the opponent) where there's a native secondary from the first week. On 125, I break through a horde of Lizardmen, then go into the underground, exit it, and spot the secondary on the surface by looking. I take it; it turns out to be the capital. Kolya decides not to continue.

Thanks for the game!!!!!!

I confirm, as for me, if there's even the slightest chance, I fight to the end, but here there's no gold and AYMAN is already swimming in chocolate, while I only have 100 Troglodytes; there was no chance. Thanks for the game
