7.02.12 Shamys (blue, random, Bastion, Sephinroth, Tanta ) def Quell(red, random, Tower, Nila ,Nila) 2sm4d(3), 224

The start was terrible, I lost 2 heroes, thought about resigning, but Tanta came and I decided to continue. After accumulating skeletons and minotaurs, I took 2 Dragon Fly Hives, a minotaur generator near the castle, then went for a Dragon Utopia, level 3, took it without trouble, gave me a book of fire and sphere of fire. The opponent was 2 days from the capital, I split up and bought troops, the opponent didn't dare to attack, moved to the grass towards the Dragon Utopia, I followed him. He took the Utopia, losing some troops in the process, I attacked with 350+ skeles and 35+ minos, cast Armageddon, wiped out almost the entire army. The opponent decided not to continue.... :smile14:

Thanks for the game!

7.02.12 Shamys (blue, random, Inferno, Mariussa, Elshar) def Quell(red, random, Inferno, Ignatius, Ignatius) 2sm4d(3), 116

The start was not bad; on day 1, I broke through the snipers, took the prison, and broke through the oh-so-rich refugee camp—there were 2 dark knights there. After that, everything went smoothly; at 116, a surrender message came in. :smile51:

Thanks for the game!

07.02.2012 HellLighT (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Twaryna (red, Castle, Valeska, Tyraxor) 2sm4d(3) 131

Restarted a bit and started playing. Dungeon, fast roads, on the first turn went into a portal and picked up the Castle secondary hero, saw an external dwelling of Minotaurs above the Castle — decided to play. Ivor arrived with 5 elves, who with upgraded Marksmen from the Castle brought decent dividends eating weaklings on the secondary hero, passages to the adjacent zone and the underground secondary were guarded by Archers, decided not to push yet but grab the Dwarf Cottage. By 117 Minotaurs in Citadel + summoning portal, in 2 fights neutrals didn't spare and procced morale and killed 1 Minotaur in each, Scholar gave Necromancy again and once more to the starting artifact +5 Necromancy)) The treasure zone of the underground looked very unsexy so decided to go to the adjacent zone, given that the distance between it and the GO was very small, on 126 I break through, right at the exit stands the opponent's native secondary hero, but unguarded, a scout ran and immediately captured it, and Shakti went further along the road having 18k Minotaurs, about 200 Skeletons, 17 Evil Eyes, 120 Troglodytes and a few Medusas, in the tavern Tyraxor with an order of magnitude higher attack, but on the road an unkilled library guard! 100 Iron Golems, don't know why the opponent didn't take it himself, but it was a nice gift. On 127 the opponent, who was quite far from the castle, still manages to get into it, and with his scout stands on the chain back to his secondary hero (which I forgot about at the end of the turn... which led to losing it on 131) revealed 5-9 not upgraded Cavaliers 1-4 Angels, 50+ Marksmen and Pikemen, because of the continuous stacks of foot soldiers I don't dare attack the capital, but the Observatory spotted an untouched Griffin Conservatory a bit off the road, I positioned so that if needed I could bring my growth and take the Conservatory. On 131 the opponent through the forgotten scout takes back the secondary, which makes me tear my hair out, because without it I cannot bring troops in any way, and having returned the troops he continues sitting in his main, but revealing his troops there was only 1 Angel, 55 Marksmen, 70 Pikemen, 5 Cavaliers, a few Griffins, as I understood without the new week's reinforcements, horses with Lightning and double mana pool (40), though with power 1, I attack 7 single Harpies on the secondary where the scout sits with suspiciously high stats, during the battle where the opponent admitted he forgot to pass back artifacts, the Harpies win with a slight advantage, surrender follows due to negative morale... thanks for the game
P.s. I would have suggested a rematch, but it was already 5 AM at that point, I was only holding on thanks to the wide open window :D

09.02.2012 HellLighT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vigo (red, Swamp, Tazar, Grindan) 2sm4d(3) 126

Started without restarts, the spawn was delightful - starting artifact Necklace of Swiftness, Harpies built, besides the native hero, Vistan with 21 lizards is sitting in the tavern! Lots of gold piled up, along the road a block of 10-19 Storm Elementals guarding an external dwelling of Eyes, a bit further behind 50+ Gnolls a Pandora's Box for 5k gold, nearby 20 Hounds guarding Gauntlets of the Rider, and a second external dwelling of Eyes is visible, and all of this is on fast roads! I break through to the portal without problems where I see a giant secondary-Castle zone completely littered with resources and gold, though the secondary itself turned out to be quite far away. I cleared 3 Dwarf Cottages in the first 2 days, all with stacks of 10-15 as if chosen. By day 1-1-7 I had tiers 1-4,6 in the Castle + a portal to the Eye, from the second week I cleared 2 Dragon Fly Hives on the secondary for a total of 14 Wyverns, but then I make a big mistake - I go into a Naga Bank with a scout hero without stats and lose a bunch of troops - trouble, here from the side of my Dungeon I see movement from the opponent in a place where I thought there was just an external dwelling with a Dwarf Cottage behind Zombies, realizing that for the second week I still have a very impressive army - 10 Wyverns, 5 Manticores, 55 Eyes, and 12 Greater Druids, I go after the opponent, on day 1-2-5 I come out onto his main, but without seeing the map I can't figure out where to run - and there are plenty of roads there. Right at the exit there was an untouched Dragon Fly Hive - maximum stack, I traded 12 Druids for 12 Wyverns, which I was very happy with, in the tavern a Grindan with not very remarkable stats is showing... but on his turn the opponent makes a mistake and, after taking the second nearby Hive, doesn't manage to rejoin the insignificant shooter troops. The final battle was rather pathetic... Grindan with stats 5 1 7 4 and an army of 14 Wyverns, 2 Hydras, 16 Basiliks, and 5 Gorgons, against Shakti 10 9 5 2 and the aforementioned army, due to the opponent having no Serpent Flies I had the first turn + Tactics, I stood in a straight shot for the Eyes and struck with Wyverns against Wyverns - for -6 pieces, it was overkill but even without that everything was clear... the opponent surrendered, thanks for the game

09.02.2012 Katherine (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Nolife (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) mini-nostalgia 125
On the first day I clear the computer with a dungeon, in my native 123456 in the Citadel. On the second day I take an external dwelling of hydras and go to the treasure zone for a dungeon :smile19: , 125 - the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game.

08.02.12 HellLighT (blue, Necropolis, Clavius, Clavius) def ariputra (red, Rampart, Ivor, Vidomina) 2sm4d(3) 114
a decent draft, external dwelling of Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Griffin Conservatories behind tough guards
Vidomina showed up, decided to level her on 112, didn't find wood and for elf upgrade and lost in the max Crypt, opponent conceded, on 113 broke through to a Castle secondary hero and lost again on 42 stone golems at the external dwelling of horses
thanks for the game

08.02.12 ariputra (red, Necropolis, Clavius, Charna) def HellLighT (blue, Fortress, Wystan, Wystan) 2sm4d(3) 144

used all the restarts
the draft was mediocre
on day 1 came Bron with 5 basilisks, Charna took armor +3c, a secondary hero, never found sulfur so built up to Citadel at home, Eyes with mana vortex in the Dungeon, Charna level 4 but with level 1 Earth magic, 4 heroes, the tasty stuff was a well next to the castle, Naga Bank, shield +3z behind shooters, Pandora's Box for 50-99 Griffins, +5% Necromancy behind air elementals, 2 grand masters with Lightning on 160 at home

on day 2 another Dungeon, Charna leveled Earth, dug a tunnel to the Fortress but didn't go, took down the Naga Bank (tier 2), oil and Lightning on 200 helped take the Pandora's Box for 10k, Charna with expert Necromancy, Earth, Tactics, and level 1 Archery, recruited horses

on day 3 a Castle, bought everything, Malekith with 5 basilisks and Lightning on 90 took the Fortress secondary hero with Wyvern building in the Citadel, amulet +5% Necromancy, Charna went to the treasure zone, the first one was snowy, only took the Sphere of Air there, luckily another one was nearby, on 136 for some reason recruited dragons instead of buying everything out, + near the exit to the Fortress secondary the opponent showed up, on 137 managed to take the Pandora's Box for 15k and a minimal Dragon Fly Hive, was beaten but the army remained halfway, on day 4 managed to break the chain so the opponent was left without reinforcements, there was a double and an external dwelling of shooters, if he had managed to bring backup, it's unknown how it would have ended

FB Charna 4 11 8 7, Lightning 315/8, 500 skeletons, 2 bone dragons, 7 knights, 21 vampires, 9 wyverns, 7 liches, 43 eyes - Wystan 5 12 3 4, Slow, Bless, 4 angels, 17 gr wyverns, 139 gr shooters, 37 gnolls, 6 and 2 single serpents

thanks for the interesting game
