Leon_1990 (red, Stronghold, Dessa) def Pyre (blue, Dungeon, Tazar) 6lm10 200%
Opp offered to play a rematch) Respawn was poor, almost no gold, on the way to the dungeon there was a strong guard, I'm scouting around the castle, 1 goblin dwelling and that's it. Only on the second week I break through down, there's a teleport, and via the fast road I take an empty Dungeon castle. I build Manticores, take them, and further along the road, by week 13 I take another Stronghold, well-developed, and finally see a Griffin Conservatory at 2, I buy up and take it, then 2 Dragon Fly Hives at 6 and 12. I go to the opp's territory, along the way I take another Griffin Conservatory at 1, approach the castle, the opp himself attacks me with 10 angels 12 Wyverns and 50 archers, I have 3 angels 18 Wyverns 20 birds, I majorly blundered the fight, went forward counting on a quick victory, but lost due to stupidity, had to retreat, killing all his angels. I resurrect, build guild level 3, Lightning Bolt appears and I go into battle with the remaining unbought ogres, manticores, and goblins in the castle, counting on magic and 140 mana. The opp comes out to me, I attack and only with the help of Lightning Bolt force him to surrender) I go to his castle, the opp resurrected and bought his leftovers, but they weren't enough against magic)
Thanks for the game, it was difficult and interesting!

21.02.2012 CryptoNight (Red, Necro, Gosh, Gosh) def Vigo (Blue, Conflux, Rnd, Kyrre) Jebus.124
1 Week
111-From the start 145 skeletons :D I break through a block of Centaurs(25) and a Pandora's Box for 5k experience - Gosh already level 6:smile01:
112-I scout with a scout hero in a witch hut a log - and near the hut a Dwarf Cottage and an Imp Dwelling.
113-A mini Dwarf Cottage is taken, skeletons start piling up really well, meaty guards are broken through - and by 113 already 300 skeletons:p
114-Split to town - another Imp Dwelling is taken
116-Scout heroes take an external dwelling of horses and dragons:D
117-Gosh takes a Sword +5 All and splits to town, Mephala hits a Shield +3+3 and runs to the beehive, at home dragons in the Citadel
2 Week
121-Gosh runs to the GO, Mephala hits the small beehive(9)....I decide to take the treasury with singles - 1 dragon and 2 horses - and lose the dragon:(
122-I failed on the GO - with Magic Resistance and having 450 skeletons, 34 zombies, and 7 Griffin Conservatory horses (couldn't really buy up, even with full trade) - I failed the fight - and lost almost all the raised zombies and 30 extra skeletons(((And I set up on a Dragon Utopia (mini)
On 123 I take the Dragon Utopia - got Wings:smile49: , I take another Griffin Conservatory, and set up on a 2nd Dragon Utopia (also mini)
On 124 I scout the opponent's exit (unicorns) take the mini Dragon Utopia - got Orb, I level up another 1 level on horses - fought unsuccessfully and lost the horse:smile48:
On 125 the opponent comes out - I see that the army isn't that big and stats are much worse - I decide to take another Dragon Utopia with a scout hero - and it's a 3rd one:eek: They gave me quite a beating there - killed an angel, 110 skeletons and I lost 3 Griffin Conservatory horses((((terrible!!!!!!And the reward wasn't great - but still in the final I had no chance - my stats were almost 4 times higher - plus my Magic Resistance - against their Masl;)
Thanks for the game:cool:

The respawn is gorgeous, not that much gold, but there are 2 dragon crypts; I gather all forces and push through the fast road to the elements castle and capture it. The map there is even richer: 3 cyclops vaults, 2 cons, Dragon Utopia and a portal of glory below) I clear the map quietly, leveling up little Galtran; by 127 I captured 2 dragon crypts and built phoenixes. At 134 I captured the portal of glory, at 141 I took the con on 4 and slowly all 3 cyclops spots. Built the 4th guild, bought out everything and at 142 went to Dragon Utopia max; got some great loot - hat, binding spell, wings, shield of courage and gold bow. Used Earth Eye to reveal the opponent's position and headed for them. Reached by 144, took the main castle, made archangels; Valya arrived with 11 7 4 7 stats and 4 angels))) Attacked and victory.
Thanks for the game!)

Thanks for the game.

22.02.12 HellLighT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def CryptoNight (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 134 Jebuss cross

We restarted for a long time, even managed to play out 4 days of another scenario that ended with the opponent's loss. The start wasn't the worst, Shakti with 2 stacks, I scatter with roaches, I spot a lvl 1 Griffin Conservatory with a huge stack, I pick up 30 Troglodytes from a refugee camp, I see 2 Dragon Fly Hives a turn away from the castle, I think everything is great - I need to play (there was still a restart left). As it turned out later, on the completely blocked respawn there were 3 hives (for 4, 8, 8 Wyverns) and 1 aforementioned Griffin Conservatory, from external dwellings 2 Manticores in different corners of the respawn, one of the secondary towns (as it turned out - my native one) was completely blocked by Scorpicores, there was only one Pandora's Box and it had gold, Shakti's skill rolls were terrible - they gave all sorts of junk, so after Earth the fourth skill was Ballista (which turned out to be a pretty nasty girl in FB :D ), the good things include the Elixir of Life, all 3 ingredients of which were within a turn and a half of each other on my respawn - that made my life a lot easier :) there was an external market and right next to my main was a Dragon Utopia guarded by 5-9 Giants. For the entire first week I built giant chains to take those damned Karagandian dwellings, the roaches ate everything they could, by 117 12346 in Citadel + portal and 2 Manticore dwellings, I split Shakti, buy everything out, made a small mistake, forgot to buy a new hero before splitting, lost half the feeder for the Dragon Utopia, 122 I take the Dragon Utopia, Shakti with Earth and Shield, 19 Wyverns, 19 Scorpicores, Angel, feeder of 50 Troglodytes, 10 Evil Eyes and some other small stuff, stupidly lost the Angel, got a Sword +12, Sphere of Earth, Crown of the Dragon's Teeth +4a+4k and Sphere of Vulnerability. I was ready to hit the main opponent, but I procrastinated for another couple of turns, as a result 90 giant Minotaurs only fall on 125, but on the way to it (as it turned out, on the same turn as the opponent). Right at the entrance to the treasure zone a small gift - behind 100+ Manticores lies the Cloak of the Undead King and Angel Wings :smile13:, I scout the passage with a scout hero, but nothing particularly interesting there, Sandals of the Saint behind Centaurs, didn't take the Library because of 10-19 Archangels, and a Fortress town which Ignatus from the prison with Logistics and Pathfinding dealt with). Shakti himself, thanks to the Observatory's illumination, ran through the mountains to the lower part of the treasure zone, where 5 more hives were visible (the most annoying thing is that 3 of them were minimum spawns), on 127 I check the tavern and see that Tazar has sharply grown in stats (all around 20), Shakti had 25 10, but without Defense, got a Book of Earth and started to hurry quickly, killed another Dragon Utopia, got a Shield +4 to all stats, as a result built a decent stack of Wyverns, but unfortunately lost the Scorpicores, 131 the opponent himself shows up, captures a Hydra dwelling near the swamp and vanishes back, for 4 turns there are fierce roach massacres... then a rather funny moment happens - I see a Wyvern dwelling near the swamp, but don't see the guard, without a second thought I give a scout hero Wyverns and Scorpicores and send him to take it, and there are Hydras! 25 of them №;№ASDASDasd, barely regained control and still lost 2 Wyverns, as it turned out right next to the dwelling there was a Helm +6 to all stats :smile49: encouraged, I took the Sandals, visited the Library, bought a Cloak +2 Speed at the market along the way, already having a Necklace +1, upgraded 49 Wyverns and sat in the swamp. Then Tazar shows up (thankfully not grown a single point in stats) and walks along the road past me, struck by such audacity (as he later said, my army seemed small to him, especially considering 20-49 Wyverns are visible) I check with a scout hero, first of all Sphere of Inhibition, army - 25 Chaos Hydras! 60 Wyverns, 67 Lizardmen, 4 Angels and single Serpent Flies, stats - 20 23 14 9 (as the post-mortem showed, Tazar also got all sorts of junk - Expert Defense, Pathfinding, Earth, Logistics, Literacy, Offense, Tactics, and Advanced Wisdom against my 3 Chaos Dragons, 49 Monarch Wyverns, 21 Scorpicores, 15 Gorgons, and single Serpent Flies, stats - 40 24 22 18, expert - Offense, Tactics, Earth, Fire, Ballista, Logistics, Wisdom, Advanced Air (turned out to be some kind of mage ;) ) and the important fact of +3 Speed. The FB was quite fun, having a huge advantage in battlefield movement, after waiting and removing the retaliation from the Wyverns, out of 60 there were 30 left and also paralyzed from the Scorpicores, I happily jump the Wyverns onto the Hydras, but clearly overdid it - killed 5, from the retaliation 10 died! plus the Hydras' turn, demoralized, I made a couple more mistakes, but as a result I started to lure the opponent into moving, largely thanks to the Ballista (which with a direct shot killed 5 Wyverns per turn) and the Elixir I won the fight. The opponent admitted that he misjudged the situation and didn't even upgrade the Wyverns, quite possibly then the outcome would have been different. Thanks for the interesting game.
p.s. CryptoNight promised to post all the interesting stuff in pictures himself!
