By the way, Zubr, log in to the game.

Lordesat, please check your private messages. We had an agreement...

I checked. I wrote a message. It seems I'm having some issues with my private messages.

As always, I explained to Arandor twenty times why what he sees in the screenshot is happening, but he still doesn't get it and can't process the information.

What's the reason for that?

By the way, Zubr, log in to the forum.

Done.

Let's share our progress! I started playing with Azia today, and it's already the 4th week of the game.

And where is VisTrit? He still hasn't even joined the Hamachi group.

Try it out.
I'm currently playing with the Wolf. I don't remember which week it is, but a lot of time has passed.

Arko, you should tell Kotik about that flood you wrote to me in AIM, so he can approve it.
Until he approves it, I'll play with him too.)

Zubr, each player should have the same save file, i.e., named the same and with the same content. Accordingly, if you only save on autosave, and then one of the players, Player 1, plays with Player 3 after playing with Player 2, Player 1 and Player 2 will no longer be able to load from the autosave.
Therefore, if you use regular saves, the game won't be lost.
I wrote to Arko about this, and he said that you saved on a regular save, and that's why you started playing with him, but then it turned out that you didn't actually save on a regular save /: so Arko messed up).

It is advisable to make daily saves.

It's even written in the rules.

Sometimes I forgot to do it daily, but I still have 15 saves left after three and a half weeks.

well, preferably - but not necessarily)
We play with Kotik and Aray, we don't do daily quests, only when we finish playing
by the way, is redraw forbidden?

What if the game crashes?

It's not prohibited, but I wasn't planning on using it anyway...

I'll join when we start playing. I'm ready to start on a weekend evening.

We finally finished playing with Volk. I won. Unfortunately, I didn't save the screenshot of the battle =[br][/br]I don't feel like writing a full report, maybe Volk will.

Lol, I'll just write about myself)

I'll describe everything that happened in order.
We played as agreed, I was Elf, Arko was Human with Axel. In the first few games, I took Winraell (the one with Education and the skill that increases experience).
We played on the "long" map, although IMHO it doesn't differ much from the "fast" one.
At first, we spent a lot of time gathering resources - no one wanted to be underground (Arko doesn't like it, and after playing with Kotik, I was tired of those dwarven halls, and it's also inconvenient with the camera, and it's better to be above ground in the grass). While we were gathering resources, I suddenly had the idea that since the game promises to be long, I could try to get the Creature Ability (CA). So, for the last resource, I took another hero - Ilfina (she has Magic of Light, which is needed for CA, unlike Education). There's also Ossir, he has Luck, which is also needed, but I reasoned that it's better to get Light initially, which is rarer for an Elf. And as soon as we started playing properly, I, oh dear, noticed that neither Ilfina nor Ossir could get CA because of the extra skill in their skill trees. I cursed myself for a long time, there were no resources left, and the heroes in the tavern were Ossir and Dirael. I could have taken the latter, but I don't like her with her summoning and the skill ": Continued playing with Ilfina, leveling up the necessary skills for CA and hoping that there would be a mentor on the map. But throughout the game, I didn't encounter a single one, lol)
Each faction had two mines, which is good. I didn't suffer from an excess of resources (not gold), even wood. In the first week, I built upgraded archers.
I strengthened the weak start of the Elves with an army from three heroes (+ Ilfina had a unicorn), but in the second week, when I was already going with several unicorns, and in general with the growth of all creatures up to level 5, except for druids, I was brutally defeated by archmages on the gem mine. Damn, why did I even go to them, they always kill weak Elves. I ran away with a level 3 hero and stayed in the castle until the end of the week.
Then everything was fine, I developed. I'll just note that the artifacts are stupid /: First, it's all random stuff, and second, they constantly repeat. And also, throughout the game, I didn't find a single cuirass. The best thing, perhaps, is the turban of enlightenment and the crown of Sar-Issa. I didn't even collect a single set.
And in the end, Axel came to me, he had 8 buildings, 6 luck, 20 with some attack, and 40 knights of Isabel, this pissed me off. When I wanted to sit in the castle, Arko said that then he would go and capture extra cities on the map, accumulate knights, and transform monks into them. Like a threat)) Then I attacked him and was crushed X because the knights countered.
And also, I didn't have very good spells in the guild (mostly I used general acceleration and general devastating blow (and it wasn't even in the guild, but on the map). I wanted to take Divine Vengeance to shoot with a rain of arrows (although I don't even know if it will work well, because I haven't practiced it), but I didn't get it. Instead, I got resurrection.

Veg, draw Aru a point.

I still need to finish the game with Kotik, although he already killed my main character (he was running away), so I've practically lost already.

Vis, let's play on the weekend
I mean, I'm taking a turn for Vis))

Volke, that’s enough. I don’t really have anything to write about my game, as I developed as usual, although I didn’t upgrade everything I wanted. Fortunately, I didn’t suffer major losses, only minor ones in the form of griffins. As for the artifacts, it’s the same for me. In general, there are a lot of bad artifacts in this template, and they all repeat. I had three magical cuirasses and several other artifacts in two copies. I was pleased that I assembled the lion set for the first time, and I also found dragon armor and a sword from the same set. There was also a bow and quiver, but I didn’t need them.

Arke wrote about this, he said that you saved on a normal save.

What a jerk :) He tricked me and escaped death.

Well, I did save, but it didn't save (I only noticed later when we wanted to finish the game with Zubr, but before that, I wrote to Volk that we had saved), because after that, we didn't miss a turn. So, I didn't deceive anyone.
