07.01.12. Scorpiona (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Aldegir (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 132

Shakti came with 2 stacks. The second hero was Arlach, bringing a ballista *which decided the FB* :rolleyes:
There was a +4 mace lying under the castle. The native respawn was tiny, but the scout revealed native secondary with Manticore Nest:smile44: .
112 Shakti successfully strolled through the dwarf dwelling (15) and captured the secondary "Dungeon". Here another scout showed the territory well.
117 fiddled around with chains, which led to losing a whole day:smile35: . There was only enough gold for Portal of Summoning in both castles + buying Manticores:( .
123 Shakti Expertized Air magic. And was busy gathering gold by strolling through Naga Banks (2+4). Captured 1 more secondary "Castle", here also went through some stat boosters and Dragon Fly Hives (4).
124 fiddled around and lost 50* Troglodytes on flat ground:smile16: …..
125 I break into the capital and check the last direction….lacking seconds to disband the army, and end up facing Valeska any which way:smile19: ….
126 Valentina attacks.
FB: when breaking through to the "Monks" secondary, I split the Manticores into 2 stacks without having time to merge them + Pikemen gave terrible anti-morale in battle…
The first volley of archers hit the Wyverns = -4 Wyverns…but then came the ballista's turn and oh my joy it shot like crazy…-6-6 marks…
Realizing Valeska had no spellbook..my hope to win the battle increased…
Well, the battle wasn't without blunders when I ruthlessly threw the Troglodytes under the bus….
In the end, Valeska managed to flee with 15+ Pikemen…while Shakti was left with 5 Manticores...
132 Shakti runs to the red capital and achieves victory…
Thanks for the game!

01/08/2012 OUTLAW (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def. R55Max (red, Castle, Waleska, Brokhild), 8XM8, 1-4-3
We stalled for a long time after Max got his 112, mostly traveling along slow routes. The distribution here was simply excellent for this build. There are no hidden spots, but even without them, everything worked out well. After testing this build before the game, I concluded that rushing from the starting area to other zones is not necessary; instead, it's better to calmly and methodically clear the explored areas. That's what I did for about 1.5 weeks. The Miner leveled up perfectly. Earth experience was gained quickly, and in the Shrine, I learned Slow and destroyed 2 Cons (level 3), while simultaneously leveling up Das, who later became a Soothsayer, as I also maxed out his Earth skill. In the first zone, the generator gave me a Fire Tome (which turned out to be a relic, and my opponent had the Wings :(). For the sake of the skill, I even refused Air and later caught Fire in the last slot. Moving sequentially through the zones, I collected valuable items; there were very few profitable objects, which is typical for this build. At the end of the 3rd week, I painted the Conflict village and hid Angels there. In the Portal of Summoning, I was kindly given an Angel of level 137 (although a Troll could have appeared), and at level 141, I also received an Angel. Towards the end of the 3rd week, I reached a zone where I could potentially encounter the red player; there, I captured a +10 Cuirass. Then, for a day, I had to chase Brokhild, and, regretting the resources spent on trading for a possible truce, I lost Das with 3 Angels, who had 30+ Archers, 3 Horses, and a group of enemy Skeletons with him, and learned that my opponent had a Crimson Sphere. But the experience log allowed me to catch up to Brokhild, and superior stats and resources decided the battle, in which the red player didn't have enough money for a truce.
Thank you for the game!!!
P.S.:
My impressions of this build are mixed – on one hand, the idea is very appealing, but the tiny size of the zones and the dense concentration of creatures guarding the passages create very negative feelings. Our game is a perfect example of this – the red player got a great distribution of creatures, and the blue player had an excellent starting position.

09.01.2012 Gomunguls (Red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def. Tootsie Pie (Blue, Tower, Ain, Brissa) 2SM4d(3), 1.2.7

Took 2 restarts, then the opponent took 2... it all came down to luck... I saw several paths to the respawn... I spread out well and leveled up nicely... in the second game, I did everything, took a level 2 consultant, and prepared for a treasure hunt, just as Brissa arrived. The advantage in stats and army decided everything without a fight...
Thanks for the game!!!

09.01.2012 Gomunguls(Blue,Dungeon,Shakti,Shakti)def Scorpiona(Red,Rampart,Ivor,Ivor)8mm6a,1.2.5

The start was so-so, but there's a Dragon Utopia and an external dwelling of lions near the town, I decide to play... Shakti has 2 stacks, broke through fine... the chest gives a Spirit (excellent) now morale is not scary... I go for the archers for the experience stone and grab a mini-dwarf dwelling there, upgraded attack and at 115 with 120 troglodytes I break 56 pegasi with gr. for a Pandora's Box, which gave 10 thousand experience... lost 30 troglodytes and 10 harpies... then I run further, discovered the exit upwards, check the computer's Castle... and right at the entrance I kill Luinis... I run to the town, at 121 I attack him and he has a decent army sitting in the citadel with monks, 30 pikemen, and 16 archers... they mowed down 50+ troglodytes... I'm sitting on the speed-up waiting for the computer and scouting... I see a Griffin Conservatory... at 1.2.2 I go in there and there's a max on grass with a gr. stack... I have 4 lions, 6 minotaurs, and about 120 troglodytes and the overeater... fought successfully losing only 4 minotaurs, 1 lion, and around 40 troglodytes... then the computer runs out and kills my good luck... next turn I kill him and reveal another Griffin Conservatory... then I discover Ivor, at 1.2.4 I break another Griffin Conservatory (3rd) without losses and I'm about to grab the external dwelling of angels... chased Ivor away and built a chain to the town to break the Dragon Utopia at 1.2.5... but on the same turn Tanya surrenders.
Thanks for the game!!!
