04/25/2012 LSM (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def NikoAlexis (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 8mm6a 214
We couldn't find a path to each other for a long time, but I got lucky and managed to eat a lot of goodies, and the double buff also played a significant role.
Thanks for the game.

It happened. It was a very long run to my computer. One path through the subway was blocked by 20-49 Cyclops (the one leading to the center), and I only made it to 131 through the other path. My opponent ate a lot of goodies, and he didn't even leave me a cupcake =) The final battle was one-sided. Thanks for the game.

24.04.2012 artbocha(blue, random, Stronghold, random Jabarkas) def hunter98(red, random Stronghold, random Yog) 116 Speed 1 (m - u)

Looks like my opponent either completely gave up or there was no chance at all.
I had my native town, external dwelling of orcs + a hero specialized in orcs, Griffin Conservatory (level 3), Dragon Fly Hive.
I placed 115 monsters in the Citadel and on 116 killed the second computer with a built Citadel and Wyverns

24.04.2012 artbocha(blue, rand, Stronghold, rand Jabarkas) def hunter98(red, rand Stronghold, rand Yog) 116 Speed 1 (m - u)

it seems the opponent either bottled it badly or there was no hope at all
i had native town, orc external dwelling + hero specialized in orcs, Griffin Conservatory (lv3), Dragon Fly Hive.
put 115 creatures in the Citadel and on 116 killed the second computer with a built Stronghold and Wyvern

It happened. The only nice thing was the ГО - diamond warriors...
on 112 i killed the main hero of the green computer and captured his main, after which he retaliated and killed my loh, and then all the goblins with an arrow... the second computer just finished him off, i haven't seen that much meat in a long time...

26.04.2012, BloodRak(Qita, Gurni, Gurni) def SVAROG(Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 134
Very poor map generation. On turn 112, he lost to goblins (20-49) — maximum roll, opponent auto-resolved. Good gold income, decent development (1-3,5,7 in castle).
There was a mini Griffin Conservatory next to the main town. On the third week, he finally started breaking through shooter blocks. A Lich with a couple of bears broke a secondary hero. Gurni ran ahead and spotted Valeska. I thought I might lose the fight since there was almost no meatshield. Had some bears, all birds, an angel, and a couple of goblins. The opponent had no chance with Fireball. Thanks for the game.

25.04.2012 Sevensan (Red, Tower, Ain, Eislina) Def Heroin (Blue, Barbarian, Dessa) 2sm4d(3), SoD, 117

112 took +4 attack and the external dwelling of genies.
117 100 skeletons and nagas in the citadel, but the opponent failed at max medusa, didn't take auto, said it was a disaster. Thanks.

112 took +4 attack and the external dwelling of genies.
117 100 skeletons and nagas in the citadel, but the opponent failed to get max medusas, didn't take auto-win, said it was a disaster. Thanks.

I confirm. I am not taking the auto-win, thanks for the offer. Thanks for the game.

26.04.2012, Maretti (red, tower, aine, yog) def Helllight (blue, stronghold, gurnisson) 144 on 2sm4d(3)

Found a naga dwell in 2nd area and had a pretty rich side, so could double build. And got 1 good tope and some hives. Went for him with exp earth but only adv air, so was a bit risky but luckily I was strong enough to win. Thx for playing.

Confirmed, rather poor spawn in terms of artifacts and treasure zones, on first week placed behemoths in castle, low tempo, almost all respawns on no-road terrain, spent a long time expertising earth, gathered cons all of second week and start of third, had no clues at all, built minotaurs with external dwelling and portal in secondary Dungeon, by week 3 already had 20 of them, all money came from medusas, only about 5 were max or near-max, found 2 artifacts in 2 treasure zones, but what artifacts — +6 all and cape of abdication (very fitting given the lack of wisdom), as revealed on the map, there were only 2 Dragon Utopias closer to the opponent (which he didn't hesitate to use), one completely cut off by a bug, couldn't take it because we agreed on no DD/fly. Final — opponent had slightly superior stats, judge the armies yourselves, we both mind-rape each other, thanks to morale and critical removal of slow by casting genie on the naga stack, the mana advantage was not realized. Thanks for the game.

Confirm, bad generate treasure (1-2 artifacts for each) and 1 dragons valley on map, on first week have begemots in castle, on the second have minos dwelling and their build in dungeon with portal. In FB critically for me was hast from genies and some morale... but anyway i have lower stats and it was true victory :) thx 4game

BloodRak (Citadel, Gunnar, Gunnar) def SVAROG (Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 134
Very poor map generation. On 112 I suicide-charged at the gogs (20-49), got max spawn, opponent gave auto. Good gold generation, rebuilt decently (1-3,5,7 in Castle).
There was a mini Griffin Conservatory next to the main. On the third week I finally started breaking through the shooter blocks. A scout hero with a couple of bears broke the secondary. Gunnar ran ahead and saw Valeska. I thought I might lose the fight since I had almost no meat. Had some bears, all birds, an angel, and a couple of goblins. The opponent had no chance in the FB. Thanks for the game.

Confirmed! Opponent took 2 restarts on 111, I took one restart, one road to ГО, don't know why I bothered playing this crappy spawn, probably a Dragon Utopia 2 days' travel away guarded by 50-99 Necromancer Monks, one respawn guarded by 20-49 Fire Elementals, another by 20-49 Griffin Eyes, also lost a considerable amount of army while breaking through the guard of an external dwelling of Crusaders — exactly 49 gogs with GS. Only on 117 I broke through the Eyes and got through to the secondary Barbarian, long tunnel, and on 122 I took the secondary, decided to go into the Dungeon, killed the guard of 19 Ogre Warriors and 10-19 Crusaders, in the Dungeon a Necromancy Amulet guarded by 5-9 Black Dragons, a Ring of Drag. Gems guarded by Wyverns and a Pandora guarded by 50-99 Gorgons, then dead ends, I broke through with Val into the Castle, took out the Fire Elementals, and then FORKS to me, Gunnar attacks and :smile19: me. Thanks to the opponent for the game!

27.04.2012, Maretti (blue, ramp, ivor, kyrre) def God (red, necro, galthran) 124 on jebus

Broke 124 with stabels, boots and speed 11 unit on with 5 gold dragons, 3 angels, 10 war unicorns and 40 grand elfs. Stats 20 20. Saw galthran in desert with much lower stats and could take shield to get 17 32 before I attacked him. He was even low on spellpoints so was an easy win. GG

28.04.2012 Gomunguls(Blue,Rampart,Kyrre,Kyrre)def Sevensan(Red,Castle,Valeska,Shakti)8mm6a,1.2.1
First, my opponent took the rest, then the draw was more or less decent for me — there are 2 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Pandora’s Boxes, but not much gold and I lost many Centaurs, so I take the rest... then the draw gives the opponent 14 Centaurs and 4 Dwarves, and in the tavern a Plague Doctor with 4 Dwarves... WTF)) but there’s also Luna with a decent army... I visited the lookout tower... then I found an external dwelling of Elves and the game got going. Kyrre’s tempo was really good — I cleared the nearby lands, killed the neutral mob, captured another town. I broke through into the underground with my scout heroes, gathered some gold there, then at 1.2.1 I get attacked and lose a scout hero, so I buy everything I can and attack! In the final battle I have 29 Grand Elves, all of them shot.
Thanks for the game!!!

28.04.2012 Gomunguls(Blue,Rampart,Kyrie,Kyrie)def Sevensan(Red,Castle,Valeska,Shakti)8mm6a,1.2.1
At first my opponent took the rest, then I got a decent draw, there are 2 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Pandora's Boxes, but little gold and lost many Centaurs so I take the rest... then ГГ draws 14 Centaurs and 4 Dwarves and in the tavern a scorpicore with 4 Dwarves... wtf)) but there's also Luna with a decent army... visited the lookout tower... then found an external dwelling of Elves and the game took off. Kyrie's tempo was very good, cleared the nearby lands, killed the neutral, captured another town. With scout heroes I broke into the underground, gathered some gold there, on 1.2.1 I get attacked and my scout hero gets killed, then I buy everything I have and attack! In the final battle I have 29 Grands, all shot down.
Thanks for the game!!!

drew 4 Griffin Conservatories, 2 Hives, a Dragon Utopia. But on 121 I overextended and lost. Thanks.

28.04.2012 Scorpiona (red, random, Bog, Rosic, Alkin) lose Maretti (blue, random, Dungeon, Gunnar, Tazar) 145 jebus

First and last time I played Jebus on slow roads!! But we were playing all random and got "Bog" so I didn't want to re-roll to some Inferno)

Level 2 not built, chose Alkin in the folder.
The respawn is huge, the blocks to the villages are impassable, from the dwelling there are only Gnolls and 1 Gorgon but behind 50+ Bronze Golems, also 1 Hydra was revealed. Counted about 3 Dragon Fly Hives but rather inconvenient… There are 3 Griffin Conservatories, took the first one on the edge (1) right away on day 114 and went to break the Golems, we got through okay, on day 117 I planned to clear the Hydra dwelling but was 1 move short….The Hydras settled in the Citadel.

And then on day 121 I made a mistake that delayed my ГО by 2-3 days… I should have split into the castle, bought the spell book, and rushed to the ГО since it was a 3-day walk anyway… but I hesitated and also cleared Conservatory (3) and an empty Pandora's Box, which could have been cleared along the way or later…
And while my Alkin was rushing to the ГО, a 3-day march of Gray BEARS, scouts cleared 3 visible Dragon Fly Hives +8+4+8
And only on day 126 Alkin crawls to the ГО, with oil and a stack of 29 Wyverns +4 Angels+3 Hydras, Stats (7-12-6-7).
Until day 131, for two more days Alkin crawled along the narrow road and found a Dragon Utopia (2), gave Sandals and a Black Orb. The center turned out to be native!!!
On the next turn the blue player appeared on the horizon (as it turned out there was a block of Green Efreetis blocking the passage further into the treasure zone), and we scattered in different directions, Alkin with the View Earth spell went deep into the huge treasure zone, while Tazar, as it turned out, had fed quite well on the neighboring respawn.
Day 142: Alkin and Tazar had roughly equal stats, but Alkin's army was stronger, and when Taz appeared on the horizon, I attack….BUT +2 speed and Taz retreats…
In 3 days Tazar managed to gather a bigger stack of Wyverns and also upgrade them + raised defense well to 46.
I got Archangels…the Wyvern stack grew to 117….Of course I could have kept running and running…but I somehow felt it was good enough)) but as it turned out I was deeply mistaken, as I was explained Tazar level 24 with +46 defense +2 speed combined with the Red Orb is impenetrable!

Thanks for the game! A good lesson!

"04/28/2012 Scorpiona (red, random, Swamp, Rosik, Alkin) loses to Maretti (blue, random, Dungeon, Gunnar, Tazar) 145 jebus"

I confirm. It was a tough game. The only dwelling I had in my area was a trog dwelling. I had 2 cons(4) and 3 hives(18), a red cape, and Tazar, who had perfect skills for once. I dealt 124 damage against pit lords but quickly ran out of mana and had the road blocked by a horde of efreet sultans. Luckily, I found an air book close to the sultans and could go back to my area for mana and then fly over the sultans, dealing 131 damage. Again, I was running out of mana when I saw my opponent with a horde of wyverns, who had just taken a tope. Luckily, she ran in the other direction, and I went to open a new area (swamp) where I had a town and a well close by. I sent Isra there and went to my 3rd town, which was right next to the desert, and then into the desert from there. In the desert, I found a SoJ, a red orb, and some hydra dwellings. I took a tope that gave me HH and an earth book and was attacked by my opponent with 85 monarchs the same day. It cost me 50k to surrender, but it was worth it. In the swamp area, I got a bit stronger and could upgrade my wyverns and then take the middle town from her with a scout, and from there, move Tazar towards her. It seems she got tired after the 10-11 hour game and came towards me. She had a big army, but she had no chance against level 24 Tazar with 46 defense. Thanks for playing.

28.04.2012 HellLighT (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Amiloo (Red, Citadel, Crag Hack, Deesa) 134 Jebus

We cleared all the respawns, and off it went...

Week 1

No Elves from the start; from the external dwellings, on 111 I spotted one Pegasi, nearby there were several pleasant Crypts, actually there were quite a lot of them scattered around, what's even more interesting, more than half were max or near-max, so I had enough money... I spread out with 7 heroes, on the way there are 2 Dragon Utopias - but the guard on one was blocking the road very annoyingly, I had to lose a lot of movement points going around. I grabbed a view scroll, another external dwelling of Pegasi, one secondary hero was cut off by Death Knights, on the 8th hero Luna came, who never proved useful - 80% of the guards were shooters, no Dwarves, only one Dragon Fly Hive. On 114 I took an unblocked secondary, with the bought Centaurs I took a minimal Dragon Fly Hive, spotted an external dwelling of Draconians and Centaurs with acceptable guards. By 117 I took all the external dwellings, Draconians in the main, little Kyrre cleared a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, but the development isn't going well - after Defense they gave me Water Magic.

Week 2

The army leaves much to be desired, while taking dwellings for fodder, 2 Centaurs went to the green ones :smile16: , shortly after that I carelessly placed the Wyvern in Cyclops trouble and the retaliatory strike from the Draconians blew them away, as I already said no more hives, no Dwarves... where to get meat is unclear, I'm cleaning up the backyards of the respawn - clearing Bracers, another Pandora's Box for 10k, finally useful things come... Tactics, Offense, Earth Magic. On 124 I'm panicking, there's nothing left to clear, I decide to go into the Dragon Utopia, I exchange resources down to zero at the external market - I buy Gold Dragons, buy meat, having 5 Gold Dragons, 6 Centaurs, 35+ Pegasi, 20 Dwarves, and about as many Centaurs, I stick my nose into the Dragon Utopia... and there are 3-4 :smile33:, I come out with 5 Gold Dragons and 16 Pegasi, well at least they gave good stuff - Sword +5, Wings... no point, there's absolutely no reason to go into the center, I start collecting all the crumbs with cockroaches, and I myself went towards the unexplored respawn, there turned out to be another Dragon Fly Hive !!! with 8 Wyverns... what a random drop, another external dwelling of Centaurs and 2 more Dragon Utopias! No one has Air Magic, so I couldn't even see where the opponent was - only his low stats reassured me, I hoped he was in just as bad a shape. On 127 I stopped at the furthest Dragon Utopia, so that with the new growth I could run through both with Wings and sit in the castle.

Week 3

With the new growth on 9 Gold Dragons, the remaining Dragon Utopias fall quickly with minimal losses from overeating. They gave very sweet loot... +6 all stats, armor +4a +4d, Crown, +50% Earth Magic (there was a scroll of implosion, but the Mage Guild on the first possible encounter was only level 4). On 132 I burst into the treasure zone at full speed, right at the exit I grab a prison, it gives Alkin 20, immediately a Dragon Fly Hive opens up with a necklace +3 all stats, I transfer the army and artifacts, consume all this good stuff, although the Dragon Fly Hive turned out to be a minimal one, and here across the mountain I see the opponent on the charge with Angels... Kyrre had 300 MP left and Dimension Door, a miscalculation costing one extra move along the road, and I fall one step short of the opponent (it's worth reminding that I had Bracers and Sphere of Permanence), I change the turn - I stand and wait, despite the stat advantage, the army size leaves much to be desired, but no attack came, the opponent disappeared. No way to see where he went again, all the heroes I got were without Air Magic, or even without spell books at all. I return to the road and go eat everything I see, I got a couple more heroes, killed the opponent's scout hero, saw one cleared Dragon Utopia and 1 untouched one on Citadel land, but didn't dare jump to it because I wasn't 100% sure it was the opponent's land with a broken Grail, I had no vision as I already said. On 134 Amiloo rushes in with improved stats and his whole army, which by the way didn't greatly outnumber mine in quantity, and my stats were still higher + the speed advantage, the Gold Dragons with Pegasi on a cloak of speed +2 flew across the whole map, allowing me to hit through wait, which decided the outcome of the battle. Thanks for the game
