12/21/2011 Tootsie Pie (blue, Castle, Valerka, Valerka) def dom2 (red, Stronghold, Crack Hack, Crack Hack) jebus cross 122

Thanks for the game.

23.12.2011 Leks (red, Fortress, Bron, Bron) def dom2 (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2SM4d(3) 124.

111. A decent spawn. An external dwelling of lizards right away, a gnoll hut. Plenty of places to expand. The lack of gold spoiled everything.

112. External dwellings of gorgons and hydras not far from the castle convinced us not to restart. The secondary hero on the grass promised to be generous and beckoned for a visit as quickly as possible. After scouting, a counterbalance appeared in the form of a passage to the native swamp. A horde of zombies generously shared a gnoll chain — isn't that a gift for the end of day two?

113. The plains lived up to expectations with their treasures, which was very handy given the sparse main. Right there, a passage to the swamp delights with a dwelling of upgraded wasps, perfectly complementing the starting six.

114 - 116. Captured a neutral Rampart with everything that came with it in the vicinity. Also found a dwelling of swamp dwellers, but didn't take it. Only a scout on a fly was nearby. The Fortress turned out to be farther than desired... had to settle for the free stuff glittering around.

117. The day was like a thriller in terms of events. First, a group of grand elves guarding the all-important gorgon stable caused worry. Some miscalculations in logistics added fuel to the fire, preventing the main hero from reaching it by just one step! And this on day seven, with the castle and the gorgon pen set up not without effort and diligence... A griffin that happened to be walking nearby saved the day, having no battle skills but able to add some "mud" to the hooves, which was very useful for the lizard squad. And this savior even reached the cows on his last steps. It was tight, but the week's plans were realized.

121. The success of the first week required plenty of gold, which was lacking. An opponent appearing on the horizon added determination to break into previously postponed treasure caches. We were separated by a decent sprint across impassable swamp, thus giving time to prepare for the meeting.

122. The calculations allowed for a good collection of resources and troops. But a suddenly attacking enemy shocked me with his movement points, covering half of all obstacles in one go and without much effort, depriving me of my scout and a well-laid plan. (As it turned out later, the hero was wearing boots, had expert logistics, pathfinding, and no slow stacks, making him ideal for drag racing on the straightaways :)) The perfect finish to his turn was scouting my entire main.

123. I had to start the day without a plan and in an urgent pace. The opponent had a leisurely stroll left to the castle, while my entire population was leisurely wandering "somewhere". By simple operations, "daddy" ends up in the castle. Troops are sent by parcel post, cash on delivery. Active recruiting begins, along with estimating possible developments, the details of which just wouldn't come together. Credit where credit is due to dom. His unexpected actions, catching me off guard and forcing me to fight "as is," also taunting right under my nose by snatching the thick stacks of treaders I'd left "for later," which could have gained a couple of levels.

124. As expected, they didn't bother me in the castle, letting me catch my breath a little, but without really easing the tension. Once again in this game, the griffin, with decent destructive magic power, came to the rescue, and I immediately built a second guild offering "lightning bolt" and, not surprisingly, "cold arrow". Picking up all the cripples who didn't make it into the main army, he heroically set off on his final journey straight toward the intruder. And, following the plan, after slightly thinning the grand elf squad, he prepared the offender for a meeting with "daddy."

FB. Having a decent stack of lizards and enough destructive magic to offset the opponent's number of elves, the battle was fought "defensively," switching to an attack at the right moment. Considering the quite powerful stacks of gorgons and upgraded wasps, the victory became obvious.

P. S. Unfortunately, the opponent's spawn wasn't as rich in dwellings. All restarts were used up, so we had to play it "as is." Add to that the lack of a spell book, and you get today's result. It was a pleasure to defeat a more experienced opponent, even if it was thanks to luck. Thanks for the game!

mhhf (blue.dungeon, warlock) 1-0 4ерный Джедай (red, fortress.tazar) 121
On the first week I was looting in my own respawn — since there was a block of 40 beholders — also scouted the crypts along the way to afford building hydras on week 1.
On the other side, a horde of manticores blocked — GO
On 121 I broke through with a Beholder, bought all the growth, and it turned out that giants were guarding the Pandora's Box and the Conservatory right on the road. Respawn was too late to take, and the stack was upgraded — only one titan remained — lost everything(((had to surrender. Thanks to the opponent for the game

mhhf (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def 4ерный Джедай (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 121
23.12.11 opponent took three restarts, I took one
111 respawn so-so, average gold, but there are two piles of gems for Minotaurs. Dragon Fly Hive near the castle. Broke through two blocks of Pegasi to get to the snow secondary.
112 captured the Tower, along the way managed to reach the lookout. Gold on the snow respawn - a ton )
113 hired all heroes, spread out, found a Dwarven Flail +4 and a Shield +3, both behind unpleasant shooter blocks. Built level 1 Mage Guild in the Tower. Not far from the portal on the snow respawn there is a Dragon Fly Hive.
114 Shiva broke through for the flail, Shakti for the shield, lost 40 Troglodytes.
115 built Mage Guild level 2, leveled up Shakti
116 the snow respawn is huge. Two more Dragon Fly Hives quite far away, but a good stack of ducks is shaping up)
117 a small crypt and other minor stuff
121 placed Shakti under the Dragon Fly Hive on the main, conveniently near a well, built a chain towards the second Dragon Fly Hive, but opponent wrote gg

thanks for the game

23.12.2011 Leks (red, Fortress, Bron, Bron) def dom2 (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2SM4d(3) 124.

Yes, the start was not great, Ufretin, no extra elves, weak guard (monks and gr. griffins) on the adjacent swamp and ice caves in the underground, I started clearing my own area and prepared an early contact (who wouldn't want a double). The sparkling pile of gold in the swamp disappeared on turn 117—on turn 121 I didn't even bother with the Dwarf Cottage 3 tiles from the road, I bought everything except 5 Centaurs and rushed. But there an unpleasant surprise awaited me in the form of a lookout—no surprise factor. I thought and thought, decided to push forward—maybe he won't have time to gather everything, and Kyrre might just reach the red's main—didn't reach it, but did reach a lookout right next to the GO—both lookouts illuminated almost all my roads). There's no point attacking the main—I ran to break a path to the other adjacent zone, but from his spawn this time, I started pulling a chain also from my side toward the entrance to the second adjacent zone—if the opponent hesitates, I'll run through and combine my armies. But red played well, thinned out the elves, in the final fight I had no chance. Thanks for the game.

23.12.2011 R55Max (red, random, Citadel, Deesa, Deesa) def bubuch (blue, random, Tower, Aine, Nela) 6lm10, 117.

Blue portaled into the entrance monolith and chose not to continue.

Thanks for the game.

23.12.2011 R55Max (red, random, Citadel, Deesa, Deesa) def bubuch (blue, random, Tower, Aine, Nalka) 6lm10, 117.
confirmed, thanks for the game

24.12.2011 R55Max (red, Inferno, Xyron, Gunnar) def bubuch (blue, Dungeon, Arlach, Luna) balance 200% M-U, 126.

Got a good gold distribution, on the first day 4 heroes, in the tavern Gunnar (the others on GG are terrible), there was a dog hovel, I went into it. I put the dogs in the Citadel with the cage.

On 121 I upgraded 26 dogs and headed to blue. In the Pandora's Box I got 40 Castle Griffin Archers. Blue's main had an unclaimed Griffin Conservatory 100-249. I didn't go for it, I killed the noob with a Might power in the Castle, Luna attacked the Castle with essentially single-unit stacks.

Thx for the game.

Confirmed, thanks for the game.

24.12.2011 Fellshut (red, Rampart, Ivor, Clavius) def HellLight (blue, Citadel, Deesa, Deesa) 2cm4d3 141

Played my first online XL map, so-so. Griffin Conservatory only on week 3, turned out to be a double, 250 bones total. Could have come to the opponent around 121, guards not too strong, monks and one other weak shooter stack. Considered building wyverns. Opponent's situation turned out worse than mine, decided not to go for a final showdown. Thanks for the game))

24.12.2011 Fellshut (red, Rampart, Ivor, Clavius) def HellLight (blue, Citadel, Deesa, Deesa) 2cm4d3 141

played my first L-game online so-so, Griffin Conservatory only on week 3, turned out to be a double, 250 skeletons total, could have reached the opponent around week 1 day 2 with something, no strong guards, Centaur monks and another weak shooter stack. Thought about building Wyverns. The opponent's situation turned out worse than mine, decided not to force a finale. Thanks for the game))

Confirmed, thanks for the game... there will be retribution ;)

24.12.2011 dom2 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Tootsie Pie (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) jebus cross 137

On the first week I took 2 dwellings of angels, they are in the Citadel. When I reached the General of the blues on day 132, I saw an untouched unpleasant General, devoured the center. By day 137 I reported 24 archangels with the red orb, decided not to continue. Thanks for the game.

24.12.2011 dom2 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Tootsie Pie (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) jebus cross 137

On the first day I took 2 Angel dwellings, which were also in the citadel. When I reached the GO of the blue player on day 132, I saw an untouched dangerous GO, and gobbled up the center. By day 137 I reported 24 Archangels with a red orb, so we decided not to continue. Thanks for the game.

On day 1 I only found 1 external dwelling of horned ones and 3 Dragon Fly Hives.. and that's it! On day 2 I lost several days due to the terrain (I was sure there was a passage), I started taking Dragon Utopias on day 3 -- in 3 of them I got duplicates and +10 to primary skill, and a teapot on day 4(( Not to mention Kyrre was mostly leveling Water Magic, Wisdom, and Artillery) There was hope for Armageddon on a scout with 19 spell power, but the opponent wasn't in a hurry to come, and then it turned out he already had the orb.
Thanks, even though we never actually made contact)

I confirm that the opponent won fairly, but after the game, he behaved like a boor, answering questions about the game with vulgar language. You should be cracking seeds and drinking beer by the entrance, not playing intellectual games. Therefore, I will leave. It's unpleasant that such individuals inhabit the forum.
