Posts from Interportal - autumn 2011 The battle of sites - autumn 2011 Auto-translated

Firstly, Tavern + Nela.:)

Secondly, it's quite obvious, even without playing, that the Conflux is a self-made trap for Russian "newbies." What are you going to use to fight in the final – a mountain of griffin pixies? The Conflux on such maps is not viable in a normal game, as the tempo doesn't matter much here, and seriously relying on a Castle where the main force is a stack of blue fairies is laughable. You can try to overwhelm with magic, but for example, if the Rampart player builds double (which is very possible), then there's already a health point advantage, which, in my opinion, cannot be compensated.

By the way, Vanya's first game against the Pole confirmed all assumptions.
It's also likely that the Swamp and Barbarian will be ranked higher than the Conflux.

Don't make people laugh and don't be a newbie yourself!!! Armageddon destroys the Rampart, period (P.S. the question is whether they'll give it to you or not, or something else from strong magic). For example, if I take my game, the Conflux would also lose there if there wasn't the tactic and mass haste... that's all the math.

yes, read the reports on their website. The top tier is roughly as follows:
1. Rampart
2. Swamp
3. Castle/Barbarian
and Dungeon is at the very bottom, because the hiding spots on this map have been removed by scripts.

Yes, read the reports on their website. The top players are roughly the same, but Dungeon is in a bad spot because the hiding spots on this map have been removed by scripts.

That's exactly it... And you can't get an extra army anywhere... the entire army comes only from castles and heroes... so on this map, magic plays a big role... and it all depends on luck... After my game, I reviewed this map, and the settings include Necropolis and a Tower... in these cities, they didn't give anything good, except in one Necropolis, where there was an explosion that I learned... and from my own experience, you only need two things there: build an army and learn magic... but things like tactics and mass haste are what decide the outcome against a mage... so it all depends on luck...

So what’s your magic against 2 meat Castle towns? In my game, I had an implosion for Conflux, and it went through like a piss on paper...
Plus, in Griffin Conservatories and Dragon Fly Hives, they give money, so that’s exactly what goes into buying Power of the Horde in week 2 and upgrades

Interesting, but where are you going to build Armageddon if the probability of it appearing in the Conflux is 0??

Interesting, where are you planning to build the Armageddon if the chance of it dropping in a Conflux is 0??

Apparently, scrolls decide: :cool:

Maybe he's using special text editors. :D

That's what I'm saying... And you can't get an extra army anywhere... the entire army comes only from castles and heroes... so on this template, magic plays a big role... and here it all depends on LUCK...

And if you're not lucky, you have every right to complain after the game.

Interesting, but where are you planning to build Armageddon, when the probability of getting it in Conflux = 0??

Open your eyes...I said there is NECROPOLIS there...besides, I wouldn't build magic in Conflux since there are other things to build there...

so what is your magic against 2 meat Castle towns? In my game I had impla for Conflux, but it went through like a hot knife through butter...
Plus, Griffin Conservatories and Dragon Fly Hives give money, so that's exactly what goes into buying a power stack on week 2 and upgrades

I had impla too...it mowed down 2 stacks - 68 elves the first time and 30+ pegasi the second time...and if not for tactics and mass haste, the rest would have died too...

Looks like scrolls decide :cool:

Actually, scrolls do decide, since only near the town behind the goblins there was a meteor shower lying around...:rolleyes:

Playing as a Mage on L-difficulty is practically suicide; on M-difficulty, however, it's a viable strategy.

vs-WoH
2-0
11/19/11. numOne (blue, Tower, random, Solmyr, Solmyr) def Szeryf (red, Tower, random, Ain, Ain), balance PC, 114.

We couldn't coordinate for a long time, started a couple of weeks ago, had some practice matches, today we started without practice, I had a great starting position, defended a +3 cuirass, painted 2 villages, and was preparing Solmyr for a crushing victory - GM4 would be achievable by the beginning of the second week without any problems, but the opponent decided not to continue, citing a bad starting position and his wife coming home):smile31:
Thank you for the game!
With that, my multiplayer games are over, allow me to bid farewell:smile26:
I'll finish SC2TV and Facebook and then retire!

GoD (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Brogh) def. MalyFarciarz (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 144 2sm4d(3)
The opponent didn't want to continue after the save. A detailed report will be provided later.
Thank you for the game!

Gomunguls (Red, Rampart, random, Roland, Marius) lose to Black Moses (Blue, Rampart, random, Malcolm, Krelion) on PC, version 2, 1.2.6
We took all the restarts... it was a lucky draw... I bought heroes, looking for someone better, and Marius and Gurney showed up. I started leveling them up... I quickly spread out, but the respawn point was dead... I cleared out what was there... then I planned to run to the secondary base, but 50+ orcs were blocking my path... on day 2, I lost 4 elves after attacking 30+ wolves... 11 groups of wolves had high morale and lowered the elves' defense... the attacking stack of centaurs couldn't reach the wolves, and after my turn, they destroyed the elves... okay, let's keep playing... I did some tasks, and I consider it a victory because I defeated the orcs with minimal losses, around 116... I'm standing in the stable... I don't have much money, but to keep up, I scraped together some and built a castle, just like my opponent... on day 121, I captured 20 gnomes without losses... then I went through the portal because there was nowhere else to go... I scouted... I upgraded earth attack and defense... then I defeated Pandoria for the cyclops, which gave 5000 experience, and I leveled up tactics... I gave the army away and cleared my respawn point... I found 2 Inferno and Explosion scrolls there... I planned to build magic, but after defeating the ogres, I encountered my opponent... he had better finances, as he bought almost everyone... and I only had half an army... and he was also better in terms of training and artifacts... all of this decided the outcome...
Thank you for the game!

What are our chances of taking 1st place? I don't know the rules; are the wins against a team counted cumulatively, or just the points? If it's the first option, there's still a chance if a miracle happens, like Alex not winning, and then everything depends on us – we need to win our matches. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Satyr (red, Barb, Crag, Crag) def Marduk (blue, Tower, Nela, Vidomina) Spider 144

My opponent took the res at 112, I was alone at 111 and we started. The start was bad — I struggled poorly against a horde of Troglodytes, lol (I got Dwarves in 7 stacks), wanted to restart at 111, but spotted a neutral stack of bears and another neutral stack of orcs + a Dragon Fly Hive behind the earth creatures. I decided not to take the respawn. There was only one road from the respawn, which wasn't great, but I took Inferno from the bot, and put bears in the Citadel at home. Crag with Tactics and Wisdom. The native respawn was huge, but awkwardly cut by the terrain — I found no stone mine or wood. However, I did find 2 neutral stacks of Hobgoblins and 2 Griffin Conservatories nearby (but far from the road, about 3 days of running).

I started the second week with two Dwarf Cottages on the Inferno respawn and an empty box. I rushed home, bought a spellbook for the freshly gained Earth magic, cleared a neutral stack, took the Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns. The Wyverns went to Deessa to break through the road to the neighboring bots; I defeated Crag and recruited him from an external tavern near the Griffin Conservatories. I gathered only 3 Angels (1 and 2). Deessa captured a Castle. I sent Crag there, and nearby I also took a third Griffin Conservatory. I added a Castle at home.

On the third week, I defeated Crag to run to the treasure zone; Deessa took two Dwarf Cottages and upgraded 7 bears on day 132. Crag roamed the treasure zone with only Angels, I mindlessly lost one to 100 yellow Musketeers *facepalm*. Deessa ran on 6 Thunderbirds back toward the bots. I didn't like the treasure zone right away — I hung around there for about 3 days, took a Dragon Fly Hive for 4, a Sword +6, and boxes with 25 Gaze creatures and 20 Medusas, then left. I passed the Fly to Deessa and cleared a Dungeon, recruited Crag there, and doubled his mana. By the way, he leveled up excellently: after Earth came Loga, Armor, and Air. I noticed the blue player moving near the second Dungeon. I rushed there, but my opponent heroically fled. I still took the Dungeon from him.

On the fourth week, I wanted to chase him, since all the treasure zones had movement penalties, and Crag with 20+ Attack and 11 Bears was a pretty self-sufficient hero, but I spotted a Dragon Utopia in the sands with my scout. It turned out to be a level 2 one with a Tome of Water and +4/4 armor. Nearby there was also a box with all water spells, in case I lost the tome. In short, I caught up with the enemy army in an open field on day 144. I was a bit afraid of his magic, but it worked out. After a test poke with Behemoths dealing 1600 damage to Nagas, my opponent decided he'd had enough.
Thank you for the game.

Could someone please create a general table of the results of games between the portals? The situation is unclear for people like me...

Thank you.
