26.03.2011 Shamys (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Scorpiona (red Castle, Valya, Valya) 2sm4d3 224

The game was played to completion, I don't remember much in particular, but basically I took 3 cons for a total of 6 angels, on 4 I took the Dragon Utopia on my respawn, then another one in the treasure zone, they gave wings and a blue hat, then I flew to take Tazar's capital, found the right road only on the 3rd try:smile04: but with 54 gray vives I could afford that:rolleyes: , then I took it and stood in it for several days, upgraded the angels, got onto the speed boost, Valya appeared in the distance, Tazar got her with a sufficient move advantage, in the first round I destroyed most of the army.

Thanks for the game, it was interesting)

26.03.2011 Shamys (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Scorpiona (red Castle, Valya, Valya) 2cm4d3 224

The game was played out to the end, I don't remember much, in short I took 3 Griffin Conservatories for a total of 6 Angels, on week 4 I took a Dragon Utopia on my respawn, then another one in the treasure zone, it gave Wings, Blue Cloak, then I flew to take Tani's capital, found the right path only on the 3rd try:smile04: but with 54 upgraded Vivi this could be afforded:rolleyes:, then I took it, and stood in it for several days, upgraded the Angels, set up for speed boost, Valya appeared in the distance, Taz reached her with spare movement, in the first round destroyed most of her army.

Thanks for the game, it was interesting)

Good match, interesting!!!
My whole problem was that we started playing a long time ago, and when we resumed, I lost concentration and it was hard to gauge the strength of the army and the hero's capabilities. Thus I went into the treasure zone with a good army and came out twice as weak…
At the beginning I went for the Titans, somehow forgetting the Angel at the scout, and from the first turn the Titans shot half the Archers (and there were 90 of them):smile16:, then I went for the Angels (there turned out to be 15 of them, including 5 Archangels, who also got a morale boost, leaving me without half my Vivi and 6 Champions):smile16:. Then the Scout went to reclaim the Mace and again destroyed a significant part of the army:smile16: …Result: left without an army, but with artifacts…:smile47:
And on day 211 a surprise in the form of the Plague. :smile16:
I controlled 4 respawns (Capital 1-7 + native secondary 1-6 in the Castle). Cleared 3 treasure zones, not a single Dragon Utopia, all artifacts were won in tough battles with speed units:smile24:. 1 Griffin Conservatory (+1 Angel) which I took on week 2.
In short, I wandered well and interestingly, but….!
FB: I had all Air magic from Pandora's Box + a Resurrection scroll from 4GM. First turn Haste on the Archangels, and after the first round I had practically nothing left of my army, even Resurrection on 5 Angels didn't help.

Thanks for the game!;)

There were many heroes vying for the main role, but none of them actually became it. The setup was the same, but unfortunately, the opponent rage-quit.
Thanks for the game!

There were many heroes vying for the main one, but none of them ever became it. The layout is the same, but opp unfortunately surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

26.03.2011 Alberet@s(red, Stronghold, Gurni, Galtran) def theShevanesian(blue, Tower, Aen, Ciele), 2sm4d(3), 200%, 215
An extremely interesting game... we took rests, on day 1 of the new week I see a Griffin Conservatory, a Stable, I play... then another Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive, but that's not the main thing. In the tavern sits Gosha with 75 skeletons. To avoid scaring off the opponent, I only buy him on the last possible rest day. I give him the Cloak of the Necromancer 10%, resource and gold collection. Gosha quickly levels Necromancy and gets Earth with scouting (later there were 2 Cannons and Gosha was a crazily skilled soldier). My base is 1-2-3-5 in the Fort... Week 2 - Boots of Speed, a level 1 Griffin Conservatory near my capitol. I break through to the Underworld, immediately discover a treasure zone and take a secondary Dungeon. I build guilds and a Mana Vortex there. My base is 1-2-3-5-7 in the Castle with the Treasury... Week 3 - I smash through with oil to the capitol. Nearby is a level 3 Griffin Conservatory. I collect skeletons, clear the Dungeon, double mana, and rush to the treasure zone... there are many chests for experience. All level 4 magic schools and 2 Dragon Utopias (Wings, KZ, +3 to all stats). I take 2 stacks of Red Dragons, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, clear a secondary Inferno. Level 3 Griffin Conservatory and skeleton collection. Total: 7 Angels and 24 Goshas (Archangels?), nearly 1000 skeletons. I portal home and head to GO... The treasure zone expedition was also marked by another great event - freeing Aznain (level 10) from prison with Expert Fire, Air, and Wisdom. I clear a Dungeon with him, learn Armageddon and Berserk there, and clear the capitol with him. Then, giving him 7 Cerberi as a farewell, I send him closer to GO... Galtran defeats GO, scouts the opponent's capitol and gets very nervous - 22-20-12(200) vs Ciele's 20-34-39(560). All hope lies in the Boots of Speed 15% resistance and 1100 skeletons... Ciele attacks. Her army is much weaker than mine... I move everything forward using Tactics and cast Mass Prayer (+3 speed for me). It doesn't help - my skeletons only match the speed of the enemy Angels (5). Skeleton explosion (about 4K) leaves them with 450)))... In the second round, I methodically shoot the remnants of the enemy army and wait for another trick (and it's clearly not an explosion). It appears as 155 Magogs, which halve the remaining skeletons and can't be killed in one round. Everything becomes clear quickly. I curse myself for coming to lie down under such an explosion. I should have kept flying and collected more skeletons. I have zero gold left to surrender. Not wanting to beat around the bush, I simply scatter with my almost entirely intact army, hoping that Ciele will sink into oblivion. But Dmitry joyfully reports that Ciele is sitting in the tavern. "Looks like GG," thought Stierlitz... but... Aznain, seeing Gosha's suffering and having Armageddon dealing 570 damage, swears revenge. 7 wolves rush into battle... My turn... I buy back Gosha with 1 skeleton. Aznain cautiously approaches the capitol, but the cunning Ciele is in it with 10-19 Iron Golems, 10-19 Obsidian Gargoyles (speed 1), and 20-49 Gargoyles. Armageddon will be useless (against Golems). Only one hope remains... I retreat Aznain a bit from the castle... I pass the turn... Ciele attacks with only the positioned Gargoyles. My turn begins... With a trembling hand, I open the spellbook. It opens))). I select Armageddon, fix my gaze on the ceiling (which is also the heavens), and press... GG, thanks for the exciting game!

27.03.2011 Erdem (Red, random, Rampart, Eleazar, Gundula) def RomarioGrom (Blue, random, Tower, Serena, Nella), 2sm4d(3), 215

We took all the rest, tempo was average, because 3 Griffin Conservatories were in the very corner of the spawn, very inconveniently positioned. There was an artifact for anti-morale, which helped control fights with neutrals. In the Castle secondary town I built Angels, then took an external dwelling in the treasure zone. I took 4 Dragon Utopias, relics and marched towards the opponent with an army of 17 Archangels, 16 Grand Elves, 90 Dendroids, 34 Crossbowmen, 29 Silver Pegasi, 33 Battle Dwarves, 20 Wyverns, 480 mana (Scholar with Intelligence came through), all spell books except Air, Red Orb, Cloak, all stats over 20, assembled Elixir of Life. All scout heroes were top-notch, leveled without useless skills, moreover, all had Logistics and Tactics; I waged the war of scout heroes quite successfully. I bought Tazar just in case, but he sat idle the whole game in the Castle secondary town... The opponent had less luck; left without towns, Blue signed an act of unconditional surrender. Thanks to Roma for a worthy game!

27.03.2011 TERI (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def SEM_56 (red, Tower, Aine, Turis) 141 Jebus Cross

4 Hives, 2 cons — one max (thanks, Roma for the auto :)), the second is a two-slot, 2 dragon external dwellings, although I only took them in the second week. At my own respawn there are 3 Dragon Utopia, wings, book of water, sword +5 to all, red orb; bought a ring of health from the artifact merchant and assembled an elixir. On 136 I entered the treasure zone, on 137 I took the Dragon Utopia in the treasure zone, that's when red appeared. On 141 I take the Dragon Utopia with Gunnar (in this game there was an attempt to level up 2 heroes) and behind the rocks I see Turis — since Shakti has higher stats, I equip him with artifacts, gather the army and attack; chain lightning for 1597 and regular lightning 990...

Thanks for the game and again for the auto))))

Thanks for the game and again for the auto-win!

No strategy, a predictable defeat...
Thanks for the time.

27.03.2011 Erdem (Red, random, Rampart, Eleazar, Gundula) def RomarioGrom (Blue, random, Tower, Serena, Nella), 2sm4d(3), 215

Took all the rest, medium tempo, because 3 Griffin Conservatories were in the very corner of the spawn, very inconveniently positioned, there was an artifact for anti-morale, which helped control fights with neutrals. In the castle secondary, I built Angels, then took an external dwelling in the treasure zone. I took 4 Dragon Utopias, relics and went to the opponent with an army of 17 Archangels, 16 Grand Unicorns, 90 Grand Elves, 34 Crusaders, 29 Silver Pegasi, 33 Grand Druids, 20 Wyverns, 480 mana (Scholar's Intellect was given), all spell books except Air, Red Orb, Cloak, all stats over 20, collected Elixir of Life. All scout heroes were top-notch, leveled without useless skills, moreover, all with Logistics and Tactics, I led the scout hero wars quite successfully. I bought Tazar just in case, but he sat the whole game in the castle secondary... The opponent was less lucky, left without towns, the Blue player signed an act of unconditional surrender. Thanks to Roma for a worthy game!

everything is correct
money was tight, I spent the end of 2nd and 3rd week on a pointless treasure zone where I got 1 Dragon Fly Hive (couldn't be bothered to go after the second one for another 2 days) and 2 boxes :o I ran through the 2nd treasure zone taking 2 Dragon Fly Hives and headed to the 3rd where there was the first contact but Gundula left, I took 2 Dragon Utopias (Shield 12/3, Sword 12/3) a couple of Dragon Fly Hives there and returned to finish off the 2nd treasure zone but Gundula showed up on 17 Archangels with the Elixir against my 6 Angels:D I decided not to drag it out since the treasure zone offered no hope.
Thanks for the game!

The opponent resigned in the third round (incorrect), and declined the auto-rematch.
Thank you for the game.

The opponent surrendered in a tier-3 Griffin Conservatory (incorrectly), refused the auto.
Thanks for the time.

after successfully taking the tier-3 Griffin Conservatory ;) a scout hero went for the Diamonds (a whole bunch), and then into the Dragon Fly Hive. After losing 3 Angels, decided not to continue.

And auto after revealing the map is not auto D:

27.03.2011 Sevensan (Red, Tower, Josephine, Gervulf) Def Logisti_k (Blue, Castle, Valeska) 8mm6a 122

Morning... Sunday... You get up, do your usual morning routine, wash your face, take a shower... And then the phone rings! Trouble! Angels or demons, who knows, they want their share again. Hmm... you find a piece of paper with a number on it in the nightstand and dial it. Three rings... The guy is still asleep, and it's almost noon!

- Gerv, we have a problem... The guys from the neighboring block are causing trouble again, what's up?
- Sunday... are you serious?! I was planning to go to the movies! There's a premiere today! And I need to clean Balista too...
- Come on, you can go in the evening! We really need you here!
- Alright, I'm coming.

Besides Gerv, you have two other friends, brother! One is a close friend, the other is a cousin. Both have a bunch of buddies! The second one even has elite guys, with horns! It's great to have brothers!

The first thing we need to do is find a cart with apples so we can throw them a lot and without any obstacles! There's a workshop right for that near the house in the yard. Uncle Claudius sells carts there! But his prices are too high for me right now, I told him to think about it until tomorrow, I think I can talk him down a couple of hundred! But Claudius is a principled guy, he doesn't change his prices. I had to buy them at a high price! It's time to find out why they attacked me on Sunday, so early in the morning! And there's some girl with a gang of thugs causing trouble in the neighboring block... The residents are calling, complaining! Well, I guess girls have nothing better to do. Rumor has it that there's a whole gang of crazy guys! Three stacks of trouble... What a mess...

We walked around the yard, practiced on some drunkards... The apples were flying accurately, and without any misfires! On the third day, Gerv showed up, fully equipped, barely able to stand.
- What's wrong with you?!
- I... well...
- Well?! I see!
We gave him some liquor, and he sobered up. Meanwhile, we're completely broke. We spent the last of our money on booze and girls. There's nothing to eat at home. We haven't bought anything for two days... At the end of the week, the guys promised to bring some food. There are rumors that when these guys beat someone up, no one fights back! They're afraid... But again, it's not a sure thing, they might be delayed until Monday...
We have a couple of places in our neighborhood where strong guys live. They've been studying magic for years, and they know a lot about all this mystical stuff... Maybe they'll agree to help us with the thugs, but there's a problem... One lives near the forest, and there are hundreds of wolves there! Everyone avoids those places. The other lives in the mountains, they say demons have possessed the souls of everyone who tried to find them, and they wander around, killing again and again. I didn't dare go to either of them.
We have a big yard, there's plenty of space to play. They recently installed a sports ground. At the end of the week, we decided to go to the neighboring districts with the whole gang. By the end of the week, we managed to mess around with the Monks... They clearly knew martial arts, they beat up 30 of our guys, but we still gave them a beating!... They regretted coming to their monastery. Three of them still wanted to come with us! But we hurried and left there, forgetting to take them with us!!! It's a pity! The guys were great fighters!
At the end of the week, the guys with the food showed up! And we were already waiting!
A week passed... We received news that a wealthy businessman, our relative, the owner of the neighboring block to the thugs, was severely beaten! They are robbing his block, becoming stronger... We promise to help! In the evening, at a party, our horned brothers were beaten by other horned brothers =) They can no longer be on our team. I was even glad, they were only corrupting the guys with their stupid jokes and lowering the morale of the guys. But one of those guys gave Gerv a mysterious magical skill, he says - with it, the earth itself will stand on your side in battle! It's not clear what that means, but I'm sure this thing will come in handy for us more than once! But then an urgent message: The thugs decided to rob a Bank, and a small bearded guard beat them all up =) The thugs went to jail, we have nowhere else to go :smile17: We can go to the movies.

26.03.2011 Browser (Blue, Dungeon, Shachti, Shachti) def PlayHeroes (Red, Tower, Ain, Ain) 2SM4d(3) 114.
Good start with an external dwelling of medusas and Troglodytes, but unfortunately the opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

26.03.2011 Browser (Blue, Dungeon, Troglodytes, Troglodytes) def PlayHeroes (red, Tower, Aen, Aen) 2SM4d(3) 113.
A good start with external dwellings of medusas and troglodytes, but unfortunately the opp conceded.
Thanks for the game!

I got the Layout for the fourth time :smile18: . But there were also pluses: 2 of my heroes, 2 external dwellings of gremlins, everything else was poor and tedious, but I decided not to give up and play. As a result, on day 3 I attack some guard in a portal, but on the other side there were upgraded pegasi, which I attacked because there was nothing to do on the respawn, thought they wouldn't reach me, but they did, and in the end I lost.

28.03.11 Hero of Might and Magic 3 (blue, rnd, necro, tamika) def Sevensan (red, rnd, dung, synca, clavius) 8mm6a 145

Medium. We're playing necro because of the companion, in the metro... I remember I went out to him early, started dancing with a tambourine so he'd give me a boost. I wasted all of week 1 on that, lost a ton of tempo and gold.. In reward I grabbed a Blacksmith. Fine, I'll go to the center. And there's a swamp there, just perfect.. In the gap there's an external dwelling of peasants, at least some kind of relief. I retreated home, went along the road into an off-road treasure zone o_o And there it's good, two convenient Griffin Conservatories, first level 2, then max. I advance higher, give an angel to enchants on haste... At the end of month 1 week 3 I set up in a Dragon Utopia, waiting for reinforcements. 500+ skeletons, 5 angels, upgraded zombies for tanking, and some odds and ends. The trio falls without major problems, I get a pretty nice reward - 6 all, Water, and Wings. Red is running around nearby. They eat the targeted Griffin Conservatory.. Fine, while I have the advantage, I need to kill. Until month 1 week 4 week 4 I pursue the enemy main hero, but he's fast, can't catch him even with Wings. Along the way I take a Town Portal scroll from a scout hero, what a gift :p In the end, near the orange capitol, we decide to fight, so as not to drag it out. A tense final battle, where as always I do not what's needed, but what's interesting.. )) (teleporting a skeleton into the thick of things..) A strong Ice Bolt decided the game when there was a full stack of skeletons left on the other side, against all of mine without skeletons =) Thanks for the game!

P.S. Stop cheating! ) In our games together, there was already a hero that didn't disappear after dying in a Dragon Utopia, a hero that remained in the list after being killed by you, and now a 2nd Wisdom-Resistance.. >_< Where there should be Armor.. I'm wondering, did it actually work in the final battle?..
