24.1.2011 numOne (red, Dungeon, Alrash, Pyre) def Javdet (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Isleen), ready or not, 223

2:0

A very interesting game turned out - resist forever! :). I took Dungeon and Arlach, started in the basement with an external dwelling of medusas and Pyre showed up - I decided not to restart. I leveled up a couple of levels on the first week, home 1-4 in the fort with a portal, total on 122 with 25 Greater Medusas and so on I break the teleport, there I colored a Castle village and go out onto the grass - Pyre rushed forward, on the way I smashed a pre-max Crypt, night. On his turn Roman breaks another descent to my village, kills the scout hero and almost reaches the well. I switch to Arlach - he attacks Isleen (2 3 5 10 (10)) with 4 horses and the rest of the weekly growth from the fort. The medusas apparently intimidated and the opponent, firing a shot, buys himself out.
Then there was non-interference for about 2 weeks. Having 3 castles, I built home 1-6, and in the Rampart 1-4 in the castle, I smashed 2 Griffin Conservatories (1+2) and headed to the treasure zone in full confidence that I was ahead.
On 141 a Dragon Utopia 3 drops, gave Shield of the Dwarven King, 4/4 Hat, boots of resist, Pyre with expert fire, earth and defense. I break a Dragon Fly Hive on 6, I smash my way into the capital, from there into another treasure zone, where the Cloak of the Magi's Reflection was glowing - salvation from Isleen's specialty. The opponent revealed parameters, something like 15 20 15 20 - unpleasant, but I'm not upset, there are still a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and a Dragon Utopia ahead, I build dragons at home, in the Rampart I finish building 1-6. The 5th week starts and, oh god, PLAGUE! one hope remained on the stack of medusas and harpies.
The path from Roman's capital to the meeting place (the Castle village) was slightly revealed, so I didn't expect surprises, but they arrived - through Dimension Door Isleen almost reaches the village, parameters almost 2 times higher than mine, a cloud of skeletons and archangels - brrr... I could have bought myself out, met them, but I decided to still farm the Dragon Utopia, and I do it right - it gave a Magic Book and I got resist, which then supposedly decided everything. I'm ready to smash into the capital next turn and meet them, but it didn't work out - Roman, fast (speed gloves and boots, as it turned out later), takes the capital and cuts off my passage!:smile21: A war of scout heroes follows, and I looked at the terrain and go to clear the rest of the treasure zone, and then whatever will be. I didn't start boosting, although I was sure Isleen couldn't reach me - but no, she reached me again!
4 archangels, 270 skeletons, 70 marksmen, 12 fanatics, 8 champions, 32 harpies and 15 griffins;
against my
3 angels, 25 harpies, 110 Greater Troglodytes, 60 Greater Medusas and singletons.
Parameters are almost equal, but Roman didn't conduct the battle in the best way and after a protracted battle I buy myself out with almost nothing, but I lay down most of the opponent's troops. The scout hero managed to take the capital and hope appeared. The entire fifth week we fought tooth and nail. Resist simply worked miracles and, gradually buying myself out with the accumulated wealth, I crumbled the remnants of the opponent's troops. Roman, I think, had already relaxed and was confident in his victory, making mistakes that allowed me to pull the blanket over myself, from what seemed like a lost game. In the end, Isleen sat down to meet me in my own capital and after a bloody slaughter I had Greater Dwarves left, who resisted the spell 5 times in a row, and meanwhile I shot down the remnants of the enemy's troops behind the walls with Lightning Bolt with boost - VICTORY!!!:smile03:

Thanks for the game!

26.01.2011 Albert@s(red, swamp,Bron,Bron) def Satyr(blue, rampart,Kirry,Kirry) 232, ring

09.02.2011 numOne (red, swamp, Bron, Bron) def RomarioGrom (blue, Conflux, random, Lebetta, Moner), 2sm2i(2), 214

We agreed to play to 1 win. We sketched M+U, Roma took Conflux, I took Bron. On the first map I beat out a decent amount of gold - 1-6 without 5 in the castle stood! A Hive is revealed on the respawn and I broke through a passage into the basement - there's also a Hive nearby and a few more goodies, but the guard is strong, so I turn back.
At the start of the second week I rushed 2 Medusa Storages (6+8), a mini Imp Crucible, upgraded the Lizardmen with Waspworms and into the treasure zone. There I immediately broke a teleporter, checked with a scout hero - a road, apparently to the opponent's castle. On my turn, Moner on an angel arrives - I chased him off and captured the Hive for 8. Freed a level 10 mage, at 131 I buy Lizardmen and a couple of Flies and send him to take the Naga Bank, which turned out to have a tier 4 with upgrades! I kind of rushed in automatically - level 10 after all, but from magic only Stone Skin and Attack 0. After a long, painful battle I lose, not finishing the last Naga with 12 HP!:smile21:
Well, I thought, we're done for, but I didn't give up, because the opponent wasn't doing great either. Plus I managed to plant Hydras at 127.
I developed by the end of the fourth week, upgraded 20 Ducks, Hydras, looted Boots of Speed, Pendant of Luck, 3/3 Luck/Morale, a +5 Shield, and collected the Sniper's Bow specifically for the ballista (had the skill) :)
At 215, we both rushed to the last neutral territory, but I was able to get to the max Griffin Conservatory first, and next turn Roman attacks with 102 Storm Elementals (2 external dwellings) and the rest of the growth in small numbers. My resistance in the first two rounds helped a lot; during that time I cast Curse and deployed my troops. In the second round, Haste on 6 Greater Hydras and morale on the Angels - Roma surrenders. Hurray!!!

Thanks for the game!
