7.12.10 Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (red, rnd, castle, tyris, valka) def soulist80114522293 (blue, rnd, tower, neela, neela) 2sm4d (3) 141

Roads are slow, but the pace is excellent nonetheless. On the first day I broke many crypts, 1 max. Took the secondary dungeon. And it was kind of strange there, with no guardians ) Nearby metro guarded by 20+ griffins, I bombed them right away in two passes. Horses in the citadel. On the 2nd day I broke through from the other side of the pit metro, it turned out to be a treasure zone. Gave the horses to Tyris, she ran to the stable with 5, broke 2 nearby crypts, 1 max. Valka ran around a bit in the treasure zone, got wiped near the stable and a book. On 123 in the metro I first kill a horde of iron golems for a +6 shield, and then a pretty tough fight dropped almost 100 vampires with a Ghost Dragon.. -2 champions and some fodder. Pandora's box with 10k experience. Valka levels up well, the only thing without earth magic in the end remained that way. Exited the treasure zone to Inferno, got wiped there at the end of day 2. At home at the start of day 3 I returned the army via chain, and near the castle 50+ dogs for a +3 sword, a Naga, and a Griffin Conservatory. I push into the Griffin Conservatory, max.. I lose another 2 champions, a bunch of pikemen and swordsmen. But the archers were untouched. Then the chain takes a Hive on the secondary dungeon, the GG goes into the metro again, there are clues, Pandora's box with 15k gold behind a horde of cyclopes. Placed angels on 134. In the dungeon there's a whirlpool, and cross-country to the opponent. The exit is right next to the ГО, so on the opponent's respawn almost immediately along the road. On 137 I took the capital, on the same day the opponent took it back with 6 angels, 6 nagas, 5-5-5-3. On 141 I kill him in his castle. Thanks for the game!

06.11.2010 AYMAN (blue, Castle, Valeska, Mephala) def Cergo (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 2sm4d(3) 142

On the first, went with cavalry in the Citadel, took an external dwelling of griffins and barely missed the marks, broke through the metro for the pits, but there was a horde of stone gargoyles — didn't go in, too few archers and almost no cover.

On the second, two secondary towns: Inferno and Dungeon. No Conflux or Hives at all, thoroughly cleared the Inferno respawn (three Dwarf Cottages, medusa den), home Castle with griffins. Mephala is at 127 near the treasure zone.

On 131, I buy up completely and go into the treasure zone; on the second, by the way, Gosha came, but I didn't bother switching to him, just took him as a scout hero )).

Went with Mephala into the treasure zone, and unfortunately it was total junk, grabbed +5 to spell power there and for experience I took down a horde of diamond golems for a quest artifact, and then Crag Hack runs up to me through some thickets. Broke up with the chain, but not very conveniently, spent the night at home. The next day I attacked Crag Hack, we scuffled a bit and he fled. Considering that treasure zone, plus another one probably no better, I went to Crag Hack. Captured a secondary Conflux on 137, and spent the night there. Crag Hack is sitting at home with an external dwelling of Manticores, which wasn't very encouraging. No artifacts at all, bought Mage Guild 2, at least there's Lightning in the Conflux — something + 245 or so damage. On 141, I'm standing with Mephala not far from the red capital, fully bought up, and on 142 Crag Hack attacks me. A Force Field with Haste on the bears — there were 10 of them — was quite unpleasant, but the advantage in meat + Lightning helped me win a tough battle.

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

Andrey couldn't handle the upgraded Necro Knights, surrendered, and insisted on a report. And right from the start, three stacks of units were lost for Shakti, and two native units went to the tavern. Thanks for the game!
P.S. In the picture, Shakti is shown on the first day of the game after the upgrade and buying castle troglodytes (without hiding spots!).

Hermit(green, Inferno, Pyre, Mariussa) def RiMpel2(red, Fortress, Tyris, Tyris) 8mm6a 127

Everything was going well, but unfortunately, my opponent disconnected in the Conservatory and refused to use auto-combat.     Thank you for the game!

09.12.2010 Sevensan (red, random, Rampart, Ryland, Mephala) def soulist80114522293 (blue, random, Rampart, Coronius, Galthran) 2SM4d(3) 142.

Got Rampart on random. 2 native heroes in the tavern + an external dwelling of elves. Many heroes, broke through a ghoul for an art +3 attack, collected everything, a couple of crypts, built ponies. Week 2 broke through the Dungeon, which also led to 2 respawns, also Rampart, took a minimal conservatory and 2 Castle + about 2 external dwellings of dendroids, the Crown + 4 int and various junk. 125 met his noob, crushed him. Built 2 Castle, 131 Galthran came from the Dungeon, battle, victory. Took 35 upgraded dendroids from a secondary hero, took another minimal conservatory and by the end of the week took his Rampart. 142 tried to recapture, defended. Thanks for the game!

Took all the rest, drew a bunch of blockers..
Took a Necro secondary, got a stack of Liches there and placed them in the Citadel, home portal 1-4, plus mushrooms in the Citadel...
On the 2nd week popped out to an adjacent secondary, took income buildings there, a Pandora's Box for all 1st level stats, a stack of Bone Dragons, a Sword +3, and a mini-hive..
Broke through to the opponent and attacked the castle on 131, without growth naturally, there was a scout with 3 angels, the opponent surrendered..
His draw: 4 Griffin Conservatories, plus 1 in the treasure zone, 2 Utopias nearby, Crag with Mass Slow and Mass Haste. But the opponent started taking them late..
Thanks for the game...

09.12.2010 SEM_56 (blue, Bog, Wystan, Wystan) def RiMpel2 (red, Castle, Caitlin, Monere) 2SM4d(3), 124
Took 1 restart and we were off, opponent had a native secondary at 113, me — 3 external dwellings of Gnolls))
1-6 in the Castle, tons of gold, Wystan got Logbook, Haste, and Tactics from a Monk on the road))
On the 2nd, or rather at 121 I take the Dragon Fly Hive near the Castle for 6 Wyverns and go to the teleporter leading to the secondary..
There's a grass terrain and also a Castle, I capture it, behind the mountains Monere is already standing on Champions and Marksmen near the Griffin Conservatory..
Takes the Griffin Conservatory and dives into the portal to the treasure zone...
I go to him, hoping that Monere spent all his mana..
Monere attacks me himself, turned out to be completely without the spellbook, he has more troops..
49 Marksmen, 2 Champions, 2 Angels, 22 Crusaders..
I have 42 Wyvern Monarchs, 9 Gorgons, 12 Wyverns, 72 Gnolls, 3-1-1 Dragonflies..
With Tactics I shielded the Lizardmen, Dragonflies blocked the Marksmen for at least one round))
Then Slow, sometimes on Angels, sometimes on Marksmen, sometimes on Crusaders..
In the end I have 34 Lizardmen, 1 Wyvern, 56 Gnolls, opponent has 23 Marksmen..
He retreats and concedes victory, thanks for an interesting and fast game...
