Posts from Battles.

xSEKTORx had a few posts where he underestimated the power of certain units (as I understand it, due to a lack of knowledge) – but there are situations where no magic can inflict as much damage...
Regarding speed, it would be more accurate to say "if you move before your opponent," and for this, you don't always need Phoenixes – because a level 3 Dragonfly on its home territory will only be slower than upgraded level 7 monsters from 5 different castles, and you still need to survive until then...

Tournaments online game.

I tried to complete it right away – I think I did poorly; only 52 crowns left – after all, I didn’t master your tactics. Although the result pays off after a while – Earth Expert + Air Expert, level 11.

In online play, such losses are very critical. I lost only 2 Gargoyles.

You have a good grasp of turn distribution in combat – I can see there’s logic, although I don’t always understand it (it reminds me a bit of chess, but I don’t play it). I replayed it this morning after getting stuck – it’s much better now, but the losses are still greater than yours. However, I’m also not playing very attentively – I’m mostly doing it for relaxation, not for a result.

This battle, in particular, trains the logic of neutral creature behavior. It has practical value. Unlike battles against legions of troops and a super-hero with all the magic, where the possibilities are not limited.

I understand that, but my approach to the game is probably not quite right (different mindset), and the power of habit also plays a role – I'm more of an explorer than a fighter. Some things are interesting, but other things I just can't bring myself to figure out and master.

There are two categories of players: competitive players and what are known as "casual" Heroes players. With the former, everything is clear; they treat Heroes as a sport and strive to improve their gameplay each time, meaning they focus on achieving results. The latter enjoy playing casually, perhaps with a beer, and the pleasure comes from the process itself. Both approaches are valid; to each their own.

... "Beer-fueled" Heroes players...

Interesting name – I somehow managed without beer... And I didn't even want to delve into the game – so as not to get too attached to it. But I still got hooked, and even started to understand the technical aspects. But the process turned out to be more interesting than the result, because, as they say, the process is life, the result is death. After achieving a good result, interest in it is lost (once you've solved the problem, you forget about it), you look for a new problem to solve, and you don't want to repeat yourself. And sports is a constant repetition, practicing skills until they become automatic.

Well, I didn't put the quotation marks there for nothing. I just liked the term. It's been around for quite a while.

It was an online Tournaments game.

I did very poorly and only managed to win on the third try. But still, I won, which is good =).

I finally managed to do it, but honestly, not on the first try, and I lost a cart with a ballista.

Regarding the importance of the tactics skill, the first turn, and expert ballistics.
In short: although archangels are one unit faster than archdevils, the battle took place on lava, and the enemy attacked first. If I had gone first, the battle would have been much "more fun" for me. Believe it or not, it's up to you, but Inferno, which managed to gather a "decent" army, especially archdevils and sultan ifrits, is a formidable force!
The gates were destroyed on the 2nd turn, so the battle was a "head-on" clash.
I won this battle, and even resurrected all the fallen, but the attacking demon had almost no mana left: I captured his last city, and he didn't waste time refueling (which was a mistake!). Otherwise, things would have been much worse for me.

Well, as I understand it, the topic is currently dead. I'll revive it briefly now. I decided to play WOG, and this interesting battle happened. It was interesting because I had two to three times less troops, but I still managed to win with small losses (I only had enough mana for one shield). Regarding the battle, I was pleased that the enemy mage also had no mana (he only had 13 mana), and the graveyard spirits, which are basically sacred phoenixes, were resurrected almost 5 times, which saved me from losing more valuable stacks. In short, I won with a "taisi" (a specific unit) and resurrecting tents; it's a pity they didn't resurrect much... it would have decided the outcome.
P.S. I had cursed armor, so it wasn't scary to attack, but the clever computer figured out to make everyone weight-based, and the tent cast mass healing:eek:, and then everyone rushed at me...

Killed the Earth elementals on the 3rd attempt.

Lost 2 gargoyles, a nag and a war chariot, and a ballista. I probably wouldn't have attacked like that in online play.

It's a shame about the Naga, but the losses are acceptable. :smile01:
