15.01.2011 AYMAN (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def RiMpel (blue, castle, Valeska, Tyraxor) mini nostalgia, 234
The game turned out to be long, as Oleg skillfully flew to my capital on turn 126 and took it. Fortunately, I managed to take two cons, 2 keys, and an angel was already there, and then it just snowballed. As a result, both players' tempo slowed down, they focused on treasures, and in the second month, I finally took Oleg's last castle, and a final battle took place nearby. Tyrax was slightly better in terms of stats, but significantly inferior in terms of power, plus, due to the lack of mana, Tyrax equipped a "chupa chups" item. As a result, the power difference became decisive.
Thank you, Oleg, for the interesting game!!!!!!!

Started without restarts on slow roads. Valeska has only 1 stack, but there are several good heroes instead. Decided to level up Clavius for the skeletons. Near the castle there is a Dragon Utopia, conservation, stables, and a griffin external dwelling. Soon I also find an archer external dwelling. There were issues with wood, so the result of the first week: horses in the Stronghold + griffins.
At the end of the first and beginning of the second week, I take one 20-stack of dwarves each. On turn 121, I enter the castle to buy a book and prepare to take the level-3 conservation without greed (sacrificed a pawn). 122 - I take the conservation with heavy losses: 3 horses, about 30 crossbowmen, 50 skeletons, and an offering (animoral, damn it). As for magic, I had slow and shield without earth and blessing without water. I leveled air but never found haste throughout the game. I also dig up Tamika, which is generally good.
ГО - more than a hundred greed liches, but I see an exit from the underground behind ГО. I aim to go around, especially since there is also an entrance to the underground near the castle. Scouted the underground; it turned out to be a necro-secondary (!) with a skeleton external dwelling nearby. At the respawn, I took another griffin external dwelling and broke through to the main secondary. I ignored the swamp secondary, and another one (which turned out to be the home town) was too far to run to. To hell with it, if I'll be at the opponent's respawn in a couple of turns.
On the 3rd week, I bring the growth, collect money, and move toward the exit to the opponent's respawn, using air sight beforehand. There are no parameters anywhere, no mass magic either, but I feel the opp is also not doing great (didn't see a single decent hero in the tavern), and 450 skeletons should decide it. On turn 134, I break through to the surface and in the last seconds enter the opp's castle, not even having time to arrange my army. No assault followed.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. It seems the opp dumped Solmyr (?), but didn't ask for an auto-save. If that's the case - respect.
Also, I had a nasty bug (playing on SoD-HD): one fine day I decided to split my 2 remaining horses, after which they became 0+1; no keyboard dancing helped (didn't ask for an auto-save). That's how I gifted a horse (on the second turn). Has anyone else had this?

Skeletons 110, have 4 Snakes for speed.
112 upgraded Skeletons, went to crush
114 fighting my way to Inferno secondary mine... and there's a block of 100 Hobbits... fight.. and then another block! 9 Horses... 50 Skeletons left :eek: ... take the Inferno mine. Gave me a Log.

On turn 113, he went into the gnome mine on 20-30 without guards, and she maxed out... the gnomes were friendly, they didn't attack even once, I only lost 24 skeletons, and they dealt 30 damage.
The opponent concedes and refuses to auto-save.
P.S. Necromancers don't have morale anyway, so this report on turn 113 won't affect the morale :)

Wonderful distribution. 3 external dwellings of wyverns, all near the Castle, and hives on the road; at 124 - 33 wyverns, I take the Dragon Utopia houses, minimums and one skull, I push through the archangels into the treasure zone, immediately three hives at the entrance - I send them home to upgrade, then I see a fourth hive is already empty. In a panic, I run to break the Dragon Utopia (turned out there were no more in the treasure zone), again minimums and one piece of trash, I snag some more wyverns in hives + earth book. Total 113 upgraded wyverns. I go out to Kreg' same respawn, and I realize where all the dragons are :) I eat two immediately, air book. I capture the capital, refill mana, and run to catch Kreg. Slow and 15 bears fell under the wyverns, followed by 22 birds; from the hit of 7 hydras almost nothing was left, they were positioned so conveniently))))
Thanks for the game :)

Thank you for the game :)
Confirmed. Before the game started, I warned that I would play poorly. And so it was. Great shame, because I had a stash of bears and roughs near my castle, a native secondary town nearby, rich lands, and not far away, another stash of bears. About 5 goblin stashes. Near the castle, 3 utopias, 1 conservatory. It would have been all good, but I got carried away with adventures. I attacked the vivs and, in the 3rd week, with my entire army, I was left with only 4 bears. In despair, I opened Pandora, there were 25k experience and 5k gold. I went home, because the bears reproduce). In short, I gathered a week's worth of growth and went to hide from Teri, hoping to find a passage and gather more conservatories and hives. But Teri caught up with me, and the rest is history).

17.01.2011, Psyche_7 (red, random Tower, Neela, Monere) def rebellious (blue, random Conflux, Pasis, Arlach), 8mm6, 147
We played with one restart; my opponent got their starting town, and I didn't. Neela appeared, so I figured I was lucky and decided not to tempt fate by constantly wishing for the best. On the map, one path quickly leads to a teleport, and the only way to escape the starting town is along that path or by going around the mountains in a spiral. There are 4 heroes, including Monere. He happened to be the first to go down into the underground and ran ahead, so he leveled up faster (plus, he immediately got a defense skill). There are no banks to be seen, but there are a lot of resources (I have 3 near the road and 1 in the depths of my starting town, and 2 rows in the underground). There's also a home-base Utopia. I'm heading towards my Inferno town because I'm going to be very short on money. Overall, the map is quite poor, with long underground tunnels. The result of the first week: I took a Fortress and scouted the area.
In the second week, I collected some money, captured a Pandora artifact for 5k experience, and scouted for resources. The underground turned out to be minimal, and we'll start from there in the third week. I have Djinns in my starting town.
In the third week, I take resources: 1+1+2+3 and a level 2 creature. There are a lot of Angels, so I decide to capture a Castle-Company. I'm sitting in the Castle-Company on day 137, but there's an annoying enemy hero nearby, so I send in a weak creature to lure him closer. The AI built Monks in the Stronghold, which is good. On the way to the Castle, I captured a +5 club, took an 8-unit Hive, and a Pandora artifact for the entire first level. I didn't see anything else interesting underground.
Fourth week: the AI kills my weak creature near the Castle, saving me the trouble of chasing it. I take 2 Pandora artifacts: 1 for experience, and the second for 20 Crusaders (!). I scout and see 2 resources, 2 Hives, and a Pandora artifact in the adjacent area. I run there. I only took the maximum resource; there was no way to get to the rest, so I just wasted time. I don't see anything better to do than to go back home to take a Utopia, especially since the blue flags are slowly approaching.
On day 147, I take a Utopia, and I get an Air magic book and a +5 to All stats sword. Using Air magic, I see 2 blue heroes near the rocks (!), and they're probably not just weak creatures. I have enough movement points, so I replenish my mana at a well nearby and head forward. There, I find Grindan with 6 Angels and a weak creature with 8 Psionic creatures and some other units (the rest of his forces are somewhere else). I kill all of them without them being able to escape and loot a level 3 resource nearby, after which I surrender.
At this point:
Monere is 18-15-10-11 (expert in Offense, Logistics, Defense, Tactics, Earth, Archery, Advanced Magic, Basic Air Magic) against
Arlach is 10-15-13-15 (expert in Offense, Artillery, Tactics, Wisdom, Logistics, Earth, Basic Ballistics and Fire Magic).
If it weren't for the lack of control skills on my opponent's side, it's hard to say how it would have ended. Of course, I had 17 Angels (built in the Castle) on day 211. But they wouldn't turn into Archangels anytime soon, and secondly, Grindan had all the Fire magic and expert-level skills, as the post-battle analysis showed.
P.S. This is, in my opinion, a telling situation where there's nothing to counter your opponent's advantage simply due to chance, and it becomes decisive. But in War of the Chosen, there's the Guild Restructuring feature, for example...

He came without a spellbook, rushing the opponent with 82 marks, 5 knights, 10 crossbowmen, and 8 griffins, but he wasted a night on spears and had his consul 3 stolen from under his nose:), then he attacked me, and Masskerz, once again, rolled against me.

If it weren't for the lack of control on the opponent's side, it's hard to say how it would have ended. Of course, I had 17 angels (with upgrades in the castle) against 211 of his. But they wouldn't have turned into Archons anytime soon, and secondly, Grindan had all the fire and experience, as the post-game analysis showed.
P.S. This is, in my opinion, a telling situation where there's nothing to counter the opponent's advantage simply due to chance, and it becomes decisive. But in WoTA, there's the guild restructuring feature, for example...
Since I wasn't given control, and Arlach was running around the map, the opponent's stakes for realizing his assets sharply increased after he gained control. And this is the key game moment. Overall, I built birds in the fort on the first day, a good, compact human mini-army with three outside monks, two griffons, and one angel, plus reserves (there were many on the map, by the way). And Grindan was in charge of all this. And the main hero was looking for happiness in the area of the crossroads, but didn't find it. Thanks for the game.
P.S. And WoTA, including due to the guild restructuring of mages, is like fishing in an aquarium.
