23.11 Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (blue, rnd, fort, drakon, drakon) def Neverminder (red, Strong, Crag, Hack) 2sm4d(3) 144

Bron arrived with 6 Vasya's. I thought about going for the folders, but since there was one by the Castle, two more slightly further away, and eventually as many as 5 gnoll external dwellings, they made the dragon same-level/unbeatable. :) I really messed up in the max crypt, where I left 2 vives, a Vasya, and about 30 gnolls. Put 1-6 in the Castle. Plenty of money, even some left for scup. On the 2nd army is there, but nothing to break. Already considering ГО, but decided that if I lose something there, oppa will have nothing to finish me off with. From the dungeon secondary, I finally find a way into the treasure zone, and all the 3rd carcass there. 3 angel external dwellings made up for the lack of cons. Several hives. There is a Dragon Utopia, but here opp breaks ГО, I see 10+ angels in the army. Paints the table, 11 angels, bears remained lying by the phoenixes.
On the 4th there's an angel in the portal after all, and from external dwellings I scrape together 7 in total. And this is where the discord begins in hero circles. ) I slightly exceed him in stats, probably in army too, but it's unlikely I kill Crag in the Castle. He, accordingly, doesn't want to drag out the game. I didn't insist on attacking (I do actually insist on this )), I asked, let's say, under ultimatum, that I'd go to lunch ) I wasn't planning to drag out the game. 2 weeks max. Although if I had captured his table, then according to the rules we should have fought in the open field. But opp leaves the Castle and attacks, for which I thank him during the battle. But in the end, I didn't hear a reciprocal thanks for the game.. ) Thanks.

PS And don't appeal to my conscience, it is clean in this case ) After all, I don't make posts of various 114s )

23.11 Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (blue, rnd, fort, drakon, drakon) def Neverminder (red, Strong, Crag, Hack) 2sm4d(3) 144

Came with a bronze and 6 wasps. Thought about going into the folders, but since one was by the Castle, two more a bit further, and later as many as 5 external dwellings of gnolls, made the Dragon unbeatable. :) Big blunder in the max crypt, where I left 2 Wives, a wasp, and about 30 gnolls. Stuck 1-6 in the Castle. Plenty of money, even had some left for buying. On the 2nd, I have an army, but nothing to break. Already thought about the ГО, but decided that a loss there is something, the opponent would have nothing to finish off with. With the Dungeon secondary, I still find a way out into the treasure zone, and spend the entire 3rd there. 3 external dwellings of angels compensated for the lack of a Griffin Conservatory. Several hives. There's a Dragon Utopia, but here the opponent breaks the ГО, I see 10+ angels in the army. He paints the capital, 11 angels, the bears were left lying at the ГО.
On the 4th, an angel in the portal, and from external dwellings I scrape together 7 in total. And this is where the discord begins in hero circles. ) I am somewhat superior in stats, apparently also in army, but in the Castle I kill Crag with low probability. He, accordingly, doesn't want to drag out the game. I didn't insist on attacking (I do insist on this after all)), I asked, so to speak, under an ultimatum, that I would leave for lunch ) I wasn't going to drag out the game. 2 more weeks max. Although if I had captured his capital, then by the rules we should have fought in the open field. But the opponent leaves the Castle, and attacks, for which I thank him during the battle. But in the end, I didn't hear a reciprocal thanks for the game.. ) Thank you.

P.S. And don't pressure my conscience, it is clear in this case ) After all, I don't make posts of various 114 )

I confirm. After the tutorial videos, I decided to play Crag. Liked it. On the first, I stuck the Mighty Gorgon in the Citadel, on the second, Crag tore everything up, on the third, I continued tearing, farmed 4 Griffin Conservatories and broke the ГО (19 Phoenixes, damn them, killed the bears). The opponent got incredibly lucky with 5 external dwellings of gnolls for the Dragon, and also three external dwellings of angels. And the treasure zones didn't give me anything at all. Then a conversation began, like, in the Castle I won't kill you, and fighting outside the Castle wasn't particularly beneficial to me. But I didn't want to beat around the bush either. I attacked — I lost. Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!!!!

10/15/2010 Albert@s (blue, Castle, Valeska, Mephala) def. Legionerdv (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2SM4d (3), 232 Strong early game, very long flanking maneuver, resulting in 5-6 conserved units and 23 archers, GG, thanks for the game...

Double build and 2 same-faction external dwellings were distributed; the second had consa-3, the third had a Dragon Utopia 3-piece (teapot, shield + 4 all something for stats slightly—don't remember)—I should have broken the ГО but messed up and went for treasures where no control was given, and catching Kyrr was unreal although I would have clearly won in battle.. We ran around for a long time taking castles from each other—but my troops accumulated better and when Kyrr got tired of running, I killed her in FB in almost 1 round using only mass slow. Thanks for the game.

After all the restarts, the distribution was very bad, plus I wasn't playing very attentively, and accidentally attacked the gargoyles instead of the zombies – the result was inevitable.

24.11 Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (red, rnd, dung, Jaegar, shakti) def jogyk (blue, rnd, ramp, Alagar, Uland) 2sm4d(3) 136

Shakti somewhere around 6m, 1-6 without mines in the citadel + portal and external dwelling. On the 2nd my secondary hero, another external dwelling: troglodytes and medusas. Climbed into the Griffin Conservatory with grand strikes, tier 3, lost quite a few. On 136 I gather everyone from two castles, ГО 54 death knights with mass haste falls. Opponent exits... Watched his replay, he clears respawn with 2 heroes. Thanks for the game! Let's play sometime if you practice more )

25.11.2010 Neverminder (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Cergo (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 136
Two external dwellings of troglodytes and a couple of conjurers spawned for me on respawn (true, behind the grand ones), I decided to focus on troglodytes, so the build order was: 1-4, 6 in the citadel + mushrooms and portal. On 112 I took Inferno as a secondary town, on 115 I took Necropolis as a secondary, where I revealed another couple of conjurers. By the second 180-something troglodytes, I picked up the conjurers (2+2+3). On 131 Geon arrived, from him I learned Slow with the help of one scholar (in three castles there was no Slow in the Mage Guild, but Shield and Stone Skin helped the angels, and also the troglodytes in the conjurers endured) and went to find the opponent. On 136, with 7 angels, 200-something troglodytes, 4 manticores, and 6 wyverns, I successfully stormed the capital where some random hero with a small army was holed up. Thanks for the game!

25.11.2010 Neverminder (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Cergo (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre)
Gave me two external dwellings of troglodytes and conscripts on respawn (though for grand elites), decided to go for troglodytes, so the build order was: 1-4, 6 in citadel + mushrooms. On week 1 day 12 took secondary Inferno, on day 15 secondary Necropolis, where I revealed another couple of conscripts. On the second week, 180-something troglodytes, took conscripts (2+2+3). On day 2 week 1 month 3 Geon arrived, learned Slow from him using one bookseller (in three towns there was no Slow in the Mage Guild, but Shield and Skin helped angels, and also troglodytes enduring in conscripts), and went to find the opponent. On day 2 week 3 month 1 with 7 angels, 200-something troglodytes, 4 manticores, and 6 wyverns successfully stormed the capital with some neutral hero holed up inside with a small army. Thanks for the game!

very stupid development turned out, and thanks for the game

Vistan turned out to be stronger, there's not much to describe, thanks for the game, I played poorly.

25.11.2010 theShevanesian (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def SunshineX (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 146

Spawned external dwelling of Centaurs, average gold. After the first 123456 in the Citadel, I took a secondary castle. On the second week, another secondary (swamp), Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels (lost 4 elves:( ), I buy up and on 124 I go into the treasure zone. It's empty, except for one Dragon Fly Hive. Then I go into the second one—it's richer—I collected 51 wyverns and a shield with +4 defense. On 141 I break the ГО and run to the opponent. I take the castle, then both secondaries. The opponent, with a bunch of shooters, runs back, but doesn't want to storm the castle and surrenders... Thanks for the game!

The opponent's nickname must be written as it is registered on the forum.

25.11.2010 Neverminder (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Cergo (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 146
Without further ado, we played the second game. It turned out to be a completely different match! The start was kind of bland. By day three, there wasn't even enough to put down a city hall, so Tazar had to dive into a crypt. Maxis, damn it! Huge thanks to the author of the article in the "Tough Battles" thread, otherwise I wouldn't have made it out. It got a bit easier, and I got logistics, and in the crypt, besides the coveted gold, there was an artifact +1 morale/luck. After that, in one fight, the lizardmen hit with luck three times in a row. It was amusing. I found an external dwelling of gorgons and lizardmen. I took the pre-Minis crypt, dive into another one. What is this, maxis again! And the army had already thinned out. But Tazar is Tazar — I made it out. However, now I have money to buy up everything that's been built, so I can take the external dwelling of cows, and also buy the cows themselves there. By the end of the week, 1-6 in the Citadel + market, bought the cows and lizardmen, at the end of the week I took a Rampart secondary. I got tactics. I dive into a crypt at the Rampart respawn — I'm lucky with maxis today. But with cows and Wyverns, it's a different story, of course. I got earth magic. Returned to my home respawn, from where I broke a passage into the underground, but there was no dungeon there as I expected to plonk down a portal, but a Necropolis; I didn't run to it, I left. There, by the way, it was quite extreme. The lizardmen went on a grade-up, I fought with only 9 cows and 2 Wyverns. First against 40 Water Elementals, then against 80 unupgraded marksmen. But expert tactics, and after all, Tazar — no losses. Only in the middle of the second week did I see the GO. It was funny: 50-99 champions stood twice. Some on swamp, others on grass. Like clones. But I had no time for them yet, of course, earth magic was basic, stats were nothing. Valeska, by the way, had almost the same stats, maybe a couple of points behind. On the third week, I went into the treasure zone, where I immediately found 2 hives. One with 8 Wyverns, the other turned out to be a minimum spawn. But 4 Wyverns for free — that's wonderful. I got archery! No kidding. Nearby there was a ToL Helm, but behind 5-9 Archangels, which I really didn't want to fight. What if there were 9? I went lower, and on day 134 I saw Valeska. There was no attack, and by watching her turn, I saw that Valeska had Fly. That's all I needed. I thought for a long time about what to do, I decided to go back anyway, expert earth magic, and hit the GO before I got caught off guard. Valeska breaks my chain, and I can't reach her by one hex. I could reach her with a scout with 15 Wyverns and 7 cows; on the other side there was 1 angel, 60 marksmen, 2 spell points, but in the end I still didn't dare to fight, and Valeska flitted away. From that day on, Tazar had to sleep with the army, so his speed decreased. I killed the Archangels for the helm — no choice. I teleported home, where after a couple of fights I finally expertised earth magic. On day 143 with 14 spell points, taking only the lizardmen, cows, and Wyverns, I broke through the swamp champions; on day 144 I went to the well to replenish mana. On day 145 I broke through the champions on the grass and captured the opponent's main town. My stats were 14-19-9-10, while Valeska unexpectedly showed in the tavern as 12-13-12-13. "I smashed a Dragon Utopia," says Cergo. Valeska sits in her Conflux secondary to replenish mana. On day 146 I cast Vision and decide to attack.
In a tough final battle, I managed to hold out and force the blue player to capitulate. Thanks for the game and an excellent, tense finale!
