"After the game, insults started in the chat" - I understand they started with Neverminder. We should leave the topic of closing the archers and cowardice for future generations, as a reminder of how cowardly "hero" players can be.
P.S. I played with Hitch, and I didn't notice any insults or inappropriate behavior.

01/09/11 Hitch (blue, random, Conflux, Kreg Hack, Kreg Hack) def Sevan_80 (red, random, Inferno, Nimus, Nimus), 135 2sm4d(3) Thank you for the game!

Only if they are Tetans. Or, at worst, some kind of Evil Eye creatures.

Secrets of true "daddies":
1. Build bears on the first day, before facing the Barbarians!
2. Always protect your archers!!!

Only if they are "Titans". Or some "Evil Eyes" as a last resort.

Oh yes...
0. "Titans" are AWESOME!

We took all the resources, rested for about an hour on the slow roads, no heroes of level 1, and then we started...
2 bear nests under the castle, one is guarded by 10-19 mages, Kreg figured out the tactics and aimed to take it...
The opponent surrenders, refuses auto-combat and also doesn't want to continue, I'll save this game and we'll start a new one))) thanks for the game...

11.01.2010 theShevanesian(blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def DemonChik(red, Tower, Solmyr, Solmyr) 142 2sm4d(3)

On the first week, I took a secondary hero, scouted the Griffin Conservatory - a second-level dwelling, 123456 in the Citadel, Tazar took Boots and Ring of Life. 2 external dwellings of Gnolls. On the second week, I take the max Dragon Fly Hive, then Kirel takes a second-level dwelling, Tazar takes another secondary hero. Two heroes run around treasure zones, scouting. I see the edge of the third treasure zone, there are two Dragon Fly Hives and a close passage to the opponent. I go there, clear it for the entire third week, learned all level 5 magic. On week 1 day 4 turn 1, I advance to the opponent and capture their Castle. Thanks for the game!

125 Caught up to Torosar with scraps of an army, he buys peace.
126 Decided not to go after him, remembering sad cases =) Went into the treasure zone, and there 40 upgraded Minotaurs were guarding some junk — turned out to be a quest artifact for 20k experience) They cut me up badly... Also took a Rampart secondary...

Well, then running around, taking Griffin Conservatory, Dragon Fly Hives, Nagas... 143 attacked and shot without losses. Thanks for the game!

To lose on such a respawn!?:( I'm crying bitter tears.:smile05:
A stable under the castle, 3 crypts, 3 Dwarf Cottages, 3 nag banks, 2 Griffin Conservatories (which turned out to have 2 and 1 angel). Granted, the external dwelling was only Pikemen. Had a native secondary (albeit for 75 archers). Well, nothing to be done… it all started when I sent Валеска in the wrong direction, then at 114 I couldn't break through to the secondary (nomads got morale and reached the archers from the first turn, ugh) came out of the fight with 4 bows.:smile43:
Lost tempo… wandered around the respawn, licking my lips, but couldn't take anything:smile44: .

Thanks for the game!:)

Well, then running around, capturing the Dragon Fly Hive cons, Nagas... attacked at 143 and shot without losses. Thanks for the game!

---------------------------------
played great, there were two restarts
as a result, I started the game without wood (the sawmill turned out to be fenced off by mountains for some reason) and with ten Naga Queens on the only road leading out of the town. Taking a restart (the third one) was somehow awkward, so I decided to play anyway.
as a result, without wood the tempo was lost, Nagas weren't built on the first week, and well, as the great Dirty_Player bequeathed, if you as Tower haven't built Nagas on the first week - surrender. ))) however, I didn't surrender, and even put up some resistance for show )))

special shame on my bald head for the centaur, which somehow got mixed into the snow with an Alchemist ))) took a long time to get him out of there.

thanks for the game, it turned out interesting )))))

12.01.2011 Sevensan (Red, Random, Inferno, Axis, Kir) def Hitch (Blue, Random, Inferno, Pepelina, Pepelina) 2sm4d (3) 113

Opponent took 113, I took 112...
111. Two Inferno creatures spawned, mine was in the Dungeon, his were outside. Kir and a hero with a ballista arrived. Immediately blocked 10-19 grade air units. Lost 27 Imps in auto-battle, that's okay. They were guarding a pit nest - I took it too... I was left without Imps...
112. Trying to break through... 50-99, no upgrade for zombies. I'm going with 20 Gogs, a ballista, and two pits) They have 80 with a Great Serpent =)) ))))))))))) Lost 9 Gogs, a pit, and the ballista =(
113. I'll probably have to clear the respawn point for a whole week... I'll hit the wood on the other side and see... But the opponent didn't find anything on the respawn point and surrendered. Thanks for the game!

That happened!

12.01.2011 Neverminder (Red, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) def Sevan_80 (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 8mm6a 212
I decided to play Gunnar instead of Shakti. After all, the template is huge. And again, Seva took a logistician, so why not us? The roads are the fastest. On the first day I searched for and secured money and resources. Build order: 1-6 in Citadel + market. Didn't upgrade the Troglodytes (and didn't upgrade them all game), placed an Evil Eye on the first day, and they became the main striking stack, while the Troglodytes became meat. The layout wasn't very favorable for rushing the opponent (Bron was there) on the first, I only reached him on day 122. I sat in an empty Castle, feeling happy. Some swamp creature showed up and died. Bron came, but was one hex short of storming my Citadel. I didn't want to skip a turn, so I attacked him. He had 5 Wyverns, 15 Basilisks, 17 Flies, 43 Gnolls. My army was completely lacking. Plus the fight was in swamp terrain. I barely killed him, but was thrown far behind in development for a long time. I was constantly afraid Seva would show up, and I had absolutely nothing to oppose him with. But he wasn't in a hurry, which gave me a chance. Also, I didn't advance Logistics, but I took a bunch of useful skills: Earth, Attack, Armor, Wisdom. On the third week I took Conservatories (1+1+2), and defeated the Basilisks for a Pandora's Box with 25 upgraded Demons. I destroyed the Nagash items. On day 141 I started from the Vortex, crashed into the swamp, took a Conservatory for 2 Angels, a max Nagash item, and a Pandora's Box for 10000 experience, which allowed me to Expert Earth. I felt it was time to visit: stats are comparable for now, but what if Seva breaks a Dragon Utopia? You never know. Better to hurry. On day 146 I took the capital with the loss of 15 Evil Eyes. Kyrre wasn't in the Castle; Gem was defending with a fairly large pile of meat. On day 147 Kyrre arrives, but falls slightly short.
The second month began. I bought a hero, he checked Kyrre: no Tactics, that's already good. 40 mana points, a serious army, but seemingly killable. I decide to attack with Gunnar.
FB-1. Gunnar 11-9-5-7. Army: 6 Angels, 26 upgraded Evil Eyes, 19 upgraded Medusas, 10 Core Minotaurs, 11 Manticores, 16 upgraded Demons, 33 Troglodytes. Expert Attack, Armor, Tactics, Logistics, Earth, Advanced Wisdom and Basic Air.
Kyrre 8-12-7-4. Army: 1 Angel, 1 Dragon, 13 War Unicorns, 10 Wyverns, 18 upgraded Dendroids, 51 Grand Elves and 36 Wood Elves. Expert Archery, Logistics, Wisdom, Luck, Earth, Basic Leadership.
A very close fight. Armor + Attack and 95 mana points vs Kyrre's 40 saved me. I made a cruel mistake by positioning under the direct line of fire of the Grand Elves, who shot with Luck and then cast Slow. For the second time in the game I thought: it's over. But I pulled through. I eliminated the Elves little by little with Lightning Bolt, the rest didn't bother me much — after all, Armor and Attack rule. The only issue was that Unicorns kept blinding everyone. Seva ran when he had a few Dendroids left, while I had 2 Manticores, 14 Demons, and 6 Minotaurs surviving. However, Seva didn't surrender, and I realized we were continuing. On his day 211, Kyrre was bought back in a Rampart village, gathered an army from all scouts, and ran toward his former capital. But he fell well short. I traded all resources, bought almost the entire weekly growth of Rampart, and attacked Kyrre, first dismissing the Demons to avoid a -1 to Luck.
FB-2. Gunnar: 4 War Unicorns, 14 Grand Elves, 56 Centaurs, 10 upgraded Dwarves, 2 Manticores, 6 Minotaurs. Kyrre: 1 Dragon, 2 Unicorns, some Dwarves, 10 upgraded Pegasi, some unupgraded Pegasi, and 112 Centaurs. But only 3 mana points vs Gunnar's 70. Result: gg. Many thanks for the most interesting battle! I got immense pleasure from the game.
