Posts from I love it 200%.

Group stage ends on the 16th, and activity is low. Group "A" So far, I know that Satyr and Albertas are playing, and that's it. Group "B" - only 2 games, Stude_NT is available to play, so coordinate. Group "C" - only 1 game, not enough, need to push it:)
Group "D" - no questions, only 1 game left on the save, and that's it! Don't delay until the last moment.

I won't be able to start until after 3 PM at the earliest. Please grant me an extension.

I'll add a week, but I have a huge request: please keep me informed about the progress of the unfinished matches.

FireToSky - Scorpiona is stuck at 214
KiNB - Scorpiona has a significant time imbalance; I can't even imagine when and how we'll play:confused:

Satyr (red, Castle, Caitlin, Pierre) def WishmasteR (blue, Cove, Bron, Bron) 8mm6a 145

Plenty of money, stable under the castle, Pierre arrived. On the first day, swords at the Citadel; if I had logs, I would have placed horses. Painted the Conflux village in the center, with a Griffin Conservatory near it. GG [Hero] with Tactics and Armorer.

On the second day, I decided to kill the Necropolis bot; it was holed up in the Citadel. Brought up horses and attacked without archers — came out with about ten spears, spent the rest of the week collecting mushrooms, only took the Dwarf Cottage on day 20. At home, horses in the Castle, Liches in the bot's Citadel.

On 131: Dragon Fly Hive on 6, Naga Bank on 3 (Nagas). 132: Griffin Conservatory on 2, Wizard hut. 133: Griffin Conservatory on 2 near the Conflux. 134: Pierre on Angels takes the swamp from the orange bot, there's 1-6 in the Castle. Caitlin with the rest of the power takes the Nagas on 3, clears a few more passages into the sand and the underground. 135: Pierre moves into the treasure zone behind a guard worth 12500, Katya reveals 2 Dragon Utopias in the underground, one behind the keymaster's tent; Bron runs across the sand. The army is weak, but I don't want to attack with the scout hero without Angels; I flee. Bron also runs away. Pierre takes 2 Naga Banks, 2 Hives on 8 and 4, a box with 50 thieves and 10k exp (expert Wisdom and Fire Magic with Curse). On 141, he fights his way home; Angels are at home.

On 142, I take a level 3 Dragon Utopia: Blue Cap, Shield +12, and a sphere against resistance. On 144, I take the blue players' swamp; on 145, I kill Bron without any difficulty, easy GG.

Satyr (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar) def Albert@s (red, Cove, Bron, Mephala) 8xm12a 147

Start in the underground, there's a Minotaur hut. Very little money, poverty you could say. First, I rushed to color the corner village, but there was a block of Efreet stacks; turned back, on 117 attacked an elementalist with power; he killed 2 of my Minotaurs with his shot, and I forgot to buy three more from the portal :smile35:. At home: Blacksmith, Marketplace, and Portal, 4 heroes, one of them from the prison.

On 121, I took the Conflux; a Warlock with Troglodytes and other stuff was holed up in the Citadel; they also hit me pretty hard, but the 1-5 growth of Elementals saved me. A Dragon Utopia visible near the castle. Then I took 2 mini Hives with Spirits and Earth Elementals, crawled out onto the rocks cross-country, because I saw a Dwarf Cottage there, and money was very tight. Mini Dwarf Cottage; I took the barbarian from purple; there are Monks and Air Elementals in the Citadel, though their hero killed two of my scout heroes from a chain on the last tiles. Bastard. Another Dragon Utopia visible on the rocks. Shakti leveled poorly (Wisdom, Artillery); on 125, I scraped the bottom of the barrel and bought Gunnar. The scout heroes colored the village near the center and revealed the brown bot — Castle, a Griffin Conservatory behind the terrain, and another Dragon Utopia in the sands. At home: 1-5 in the Castle.

On 132, I take a Hive behind Cyclopes — mini again! Then Gunnar takes a Dragon Fly Hive on 6 with Cerberi; Shakti kills the bot in the Castle; I build stables there. Then I take the revealed Shield +6 nearby; I see a Griffin Conservatory. Level 3; Gunnar takes it, levels up Earth Magic there; I color another village, reveal a Griffin Conservatory in the swamp. Gunnar goes to it; Shakti runs to kill the orange bot. But the computer knocks the scout hero out of the chain; I return him back, and on 137 Gunnar takes another level 3. The opponent still has only one castle; Mephala is the main hero and her army power is greater. Wtf? There's a castle in the Conflux; in the barbarian, Monks are in the castle; if something goes wrong, Monks will work well against Mephala.

On 142, I take a max Dragon Utopia at the Conflux's respawn; it gave average rewards: Shield of the Damned, Titan's Cuirass, Captain's Hat, and a Bag of Gold. On 143, I take a level 3 in the sands; much tastier here: Tome of Air Magic, Collar of Conjuring, and Sword of the Damned. In the Dragon Utopias, they ate all the Elementals except Air, Troglodytes, and about 7 Minotaurs.
144 — I take a level 2 Griffin Conservatory behind the terrain, upgrade the Eyes and Medusas, and bring them to dad.
145 — preparations for invasion; Castle is being built for Angels, just in case.
146 — using look-outs, I fly to the swamp; huge respawn; I arrive at an unbroken underground exit; surprise failed *facepalm*
147 — I fly up to the castle; Mephala is sitting in it; I attack: armies are approximately equal and combat parameters are similar, but there's SP 2 and 9 mana. Chain Lightning for 1.1k quickly killed everyone.

Thanks for the games.

P.S. I don't remember the last time I saw Zloy Romantic online; playing with him, most likely, won't be possible.

P.S. I don't remember the last time I saw Evil Romantic online, so it's unlikely we'll be able to play with him.

I'm aware that he might have some technical issues, but I can't do anything about it, and congratulations on leaving the group:cool:

Satyr (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar) def Albert@s (red, Swamp, Bron, Mephala) 8xm12a 147
Yeah, that's right, no Liches, Bronka with 15 Gnolls (enough for happiness), the second hero is also some kind of junk, but I can see 2 Suitcases, this and that, I'm playing...12346, market, a ruble in the Citadel, 8 heroes...at the start of week 2 I fully cleared the respawn, took Conservatory 2 and Hives 3, result: 23 Geese and 2 Angels, and then...everything's far and confusing, plus average roads, scouting found 2 more Conservatories (+6) and 2 not-so-rich Dragon Utopias, ending with 147 on might-magic 2-4))), had a Town Portal scroll, just as Gunnar arrived at my respawn I'm finishing the last GM3 (built in the capital and a Barbarian secondary under the TP scroll), I TP to the capital, planning to try a red-rush on Gunnar on 211 (just upgraded Hydras and took Nix for them), but there's Dimension Door and Fly, Gunnar catches me, and with Chain Lightning twice he wipes out all living things around, thanks for the game!

FireToSky (red, Castle, Caitlin, Jaegar) def bRitVo4Ka (Rampart, Ivor, Mephala), VT-light, spider, 125
Started well — got Christian with trebuchet, Pandora's Box for 45 gr. pikemen, Jaegar took Learning — decided to level him up; on week 1 captured a town — Rampart and an external elf dwelling nearby, at home only 1,2,4 in Citadel
On the second week took Conservatories 1 and 2, Pandora's Box for experience with Jaegar, could also see Conservatory/Dragon Fly Hive + fought Sorcha from prison on crusaders, a tower was being built in Rampart, but Andrey's game didn't take off. Auto didn't allow it.
Thanks for the game!

FireToSky (red, Castle, Kaitlin, Jaegar) def bRitvo4kA (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala), VT-light, spider, 125

On turn 123, I had 18 ducks and 13 wood elementals. But then the computer managed to catch Ivor with 27 grand creatures and 31 marks. The battle should have been won, but 2 morale in the first round, and gargoyls standing near my archers. In the following turns, they killed all my archers, which significantly demoralized me. On turn 124, I killed this computer player, destroyed the level 2 building, and took the tower. On turn 125, I overthought the chain, so nothing worked out. I asked for an auto-resolve, but was refused. I thought that I was probably significantly behind in tempo and decided not to continue. After the game, I regretted it – it turned out that I was in a much better position.

bRitvo4kA, you overthink things...

After the game, I regretted it – it turned out I had everything much better.

Satyr (red, Castle, Caitlin, Pyrrh) def WishmasteR (blue, Swamp, Bron, Bron) 8mm6a 145

First online game at 200% :)

Bron brought 6 Vas, a hero with 3 snakes, lizards not upgraded. Only one road to the portal; I broke through a group of archers and entered the neighboring zone, spent the rest of the week at the respawn. At home, there are valenki behind ogres and a hive behind 20+ liches. Managed to scrape together 1, 2, 3, 6 in the fort.

On the second week, I push toward the necro computer, kill a hero with a small army, and take the castle without a fight (there were 1-4 in the fort + 2000), while other heroes are idling around the corner. Took 3 crypts on the necropolis land; got beaten up quite a bit. Added upgrades for snakes, Vas, and gorgons all in that same fort :o

On 133 I take the valenki and hive (8); before that, the necro runs out to reclaim his castle, but I don't have time to pass the chain to kill him — time ran out :( Naturally, he takes the castle and completely breaks the chain, while I stubbornly idle and still send my army toward the computer, losing tempo... Killed 90+ demons for a pandora — it was empty (no wisdom), then 2 more pandoras for experience. Went to hang out in the sands; mini hive, mini naga bank, spotted the Dragon Utopia, but had nothing to take it with... On the third week, I only added lizard upgrades and the citadel. Put up a weave upgrade, but then Pyrrh arrives and closes the portal; the upgrade became a nice bonus for the opponent :) The massive power advantage left no chance.

Thanks for the game!

2011.05.07 bRitvo4kA (blue, swamp, Wistand, Wistand) def KiNB (red, Tower, Torrosar, Torrosar), Balance, 147, 200%

The slow roads were dealt, so the game turned out to be low-tempo. Throughout the match, I had trouble with wood, didn't find the mine right away (it spawned very far). After the fight in the sands ate 2 hives, I checked the taverns to see what I had and my army was stronger, so instead of the treasure zone I went for the opponent. But he came out with 4 angels and others. For a long time, I tempted Torrik to attack me in the Necropolis Citadel, but he didn't take the bait, so I had to fight on the snow, because a growth delivery was possible.

Thanks for the game!

2011.05.07 bRitvo4kA (blue, swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def KiNB (red, tower, Torrosar, Torrosar), Balance, 147, 200%

The map was tough – I only found sulfur on the third try, so I had to rush and place it on turn 137. There was also an unpleasant maxed-out Necropolis, where I lost half my gremlins :(
Overall, I lacked experience in these kinds of games; I'm sure I could win even with this setup.

Congratulations to Andrey on the victory. Thanks for the game.

FireToSky (blue, Swamp, Bron, Isra\Vokial>> Fure) def Scorpiona (red, Castle, Valya, Galtran), 8mm6a, 227
On day 1, Bron entered a pre-max crypt. Isra arrived, I was initially very happy to see her, but due to the new rules, she leveled up absolutely atrociously :))) Skeletons were dying in battles, it was tough at first, I finally stuck a Wyvern in the Citadel with a thousand, didn't even pop out from the respawn, not counting the adjacent zone between the village
127 - have a rather meager army, 10 Wyverns, a couple hundred skeletons, dwellings 12346 in the Castle, reached the computer, but taking it on 131 wasn't in line with the pace, because dense Griffin Conservatories were waiting at home and 1 in the adjacent zone between the center and the computer, Isra had almost perfect skill progression :) Pathfinding, Air Magic, Scouting, Mysticism, Wisdom, and then she decided to switch orientation to a shooter :smile14: and grabbed Ballistics and Artillery in the last couple of slots :smile13:
131 - min Griffin Conservatory
133 - Griffin Conservatory 3-stack on Advanced Haste by Isra, got to the center, saw a crimson Necropolis computer, mistakenly ran to intercept it in the other direction, simultaneously starting to prepare a proper main hero - Fure, who picks up Pathfinding, Logistics and Air Magic
135 - reached the computer, another Griffin Conservatory nearby
at the end of the week, first contacts with the opponent, only about 500 skeletons total, but the computer has a Mana Amplifier and Vokial dug up in a prison with Expert Armorer.
142 - start working on 2 fronts, Korbac takes a min Dragon Utopia with a Book of Fire Magic, Isra with logistics goes to the native village, a Prophet's Tower starts being built in the Necropolis
143-144 - tricky chains - the main army goes to take the home Griffin Conservatory 2-4, Vokial meanwhile runs to peek at the treasure zone on the grassy terrain, it's very large, so he first ate a couple of Dragon Fly Hives there and the army via chain goes to the second Dragon Utopia on the computer's respawn, Isra cooks skeletons and scouts)
147 - in the 4th Prophet's Tower in the Necropolis, immediately got Town Portal, Fure takes a Dragon Utopia on the snow near the computer, it gave junk, Isra finally reached the village, found another Dragon Utopia there + visible several turns away off-road from the Necropolis computer another couple of Dragon Utopias
In the 5th Prophet's Tower, got Fly, then searched persistently and for a long time for Dimension Door, in 3 more Dragon Utopias nothing of the sort, another 2 Dragon Utopias already in the 2nd week of the second month also brought no success, although I gained considerable stats and leveled Fure at libraries to a decent level. Built a green Tavern, no Dimension Door! Built a village Tavern, it gave Dimension Door!!!!!!! Through looking around, the location of the opponent was clear, who wasn't going to kill me :)
With the appearance of Dimension Door, I immediately jumped to the humans' capital, upgraded it to almost 20 Archangels, after which followed Galtran's counterattack with the capture of my capital.
227 - upgraded the last Archangels totaling 21, 48 Golden Wyverns, 2200-2300 Golden Skeletons, no Armorer, but have Expert Air and Earth Magic, was afraid to run into an Orb of Vulnerability (then I'd definitely get hammered )))) ) and went ALL-IN on the home capital, by stats and army power the advantage was solid + magic decided it!
Thank you to the lady for the game!
