05/15/2012, Yegor Korobeynikov (red, Citadel, Kreg, Kreg) def s1va (blue, Inferno, Pir, Pir) 2sm3d(3) I don't know how to play Citadel at all; there's nothing to write about. On day 133, I had 2 Imps, 28 Dogs, 40 Goblins, 4 Angels, 7 Rogues, and a level 10 hero with Earth magic, attack, advanced air magic, and stats 9, 3, 2, 2. Opponent had better stats, but he lost. Thanks for the game!

15.05.2012 -=Leon=- (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def ariputra (red, Castle, Valeska) 200% 6lm10a 146

We started with one restart (I took 111). The respawn was good, not too much gold, but there were two Griffin Conservatories nearby (2 and 3), several crypts, and as the map was revealed it turned out there were 3 more external dwellings (Elves, Dwarves, and Centaurs). By week 1, day 27 I had cleared the map fairly well, captured all external dwellings, crypts, the maximum Dwarf Treasury, built up decently, had Earth Magic, though only level 2 (expert didn't drop for a long time). By week 1, day 33 with 50 Elves and a bunch of rabble, but without Slow, I decided to take a risk and go for the double Grifin Conservatory, and took it successfully with minimal losses. Next, on day 35 I took the triple one, still no expert Earth Magic ( With a decent army I decided to go down, taking a Naga Bank along the way, and hallelujah, finally expert Earth Magic. I went down and spotted 2 more Grifin Conservatories (1+1), a Dragon Fly Hive for 4. Using a scout hero I jumped into the portal and spotted the opponent there (he couldn't kill my scout hero for about 4 days))) By week 1, day 45 I captured the Grifin Conservatories and jumped into the portal, literally 3 tiles away from the opponent. The next day the opponent attacked me himself, but couldn't put up any opposition, lost his entire army and wrote GG
Thanks for the game!)

Started with one rest (I took 111). The respawn was good, not that much gold, but nearby there were two Griffin Conservatories (2 and 3), several crypts, and as we explored the map it turned out there were 3 more external dwellings (Elves, Dwarves and Centaurs). By week 2 day 7 I had cleared the map fairly well, captured all external dwellings, crypts, the max Dwarf Treasury, built up decently. Earth Magic, however, was only level 2 (Expert took a long time to appear). By week 3 day 3 with 50 Elves and a bunch of various riffraff, but without Slow, I decided to take a risk and go for the double Griffin Conservatory, and I took it successfully with minimal losses. Next on day 3 week 3 I took the triple one, still no Expert Earth Magic( With a good army I decided to go down, taking the Naga Bank along the way, and hallelujah, finally Expert Earth Magic. I came down and another 2 Griffin Conservatories (1+1) were revealed, a Dragon Fly Hive for 4, I jump into a portal with my scout hero and spot the opponent there (he couldn't burn my scout hero for about 4 days))) By week 4 day 5 I captured the Griffin Conservatories and jump into a portal, the opponent is literally 3 tiles away from me. The next day the opponent attacks himself, but couldn't put up any resistance, lost his entire army and wrote GG
Thanks for the game!)

confirmed
miraculously forgot to pick up the growth from week 4, didn't level up the main hero enough, never expected to see 60 Grands, 7 Angels, Slow, there was nothing to oppose
the template is definitely weird, all one-way streets
Leon did well, played well

29.04.2012MaxGor (red, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def s1va (blue, castle, Valeska, Kieri) 2sm4d(3) 142
Big respawn with 4 cons (I saw 1 already from the opponent's overview and didn't have time to take it) and an external of cats. At the end of week two, I was too lazy to check the first one - it turned out to be maximum - minus 100 troglodytes, 10 cats, and 2.5k gold. The next week I finished it off, took another cons 1 with the main, and then the opponent came to the necro secondary, I had to trade 6 cats for all his archers, many pikemen, and money for dragons. The main goes to the university captured by the opponent, while the army heads to the other edge of the respawn towards the Green, and he somehow loses an angel in cons 2. By the start of the next week, the opponent approaches the secondary again, 6 angels return, all grown harpies, and 12 cats. On turn 142, the opponent attacks, but 4 angels, 11 champions, and a bunch of archers and monks only take out the cats and 3 angels, there's no strength left for the harpies... Thanks for the game

I confirm! The game was interesting, thanks!

artbocha (blue, Tower, Solmyr, Grindan) def SVAROG (red, Swamp, Wystan, Mephala) 224 Mini-Nostalgi9
I had a native computer and 2 swamps, didn’t get many gremlins, managed to lose on a computer at 112, the shooters hit hard and there was no escape from the golems, ran with 13 gremlins, no money, no army, couldn’t see where to get any, hid with Kyrre and waited for the computer to leave the castle, barely captured and held it :)
there were many wells, claimed 3 treasure chests with Solmyr, found an external market, the game started to pick up
at 121 I took a second computer, then soon a third, then found 4 external dragon dwellings and cleared the wings with significant losses, then I messed up with them on Dragon Fly Hives, gathered mana, captured the opponent’s main, through View Air I saw that all his heroes were in the treasure zone with higher stats, decided to go into the treasure zones myself, ended up out-manaing him, fixed my stats, built the guild, got level 5 magic from a Pandora’s Box, caught him in my starting castle without a Chupa Chups and without a Citadel :))) in FB, easy win thanks to the ballista, took out a good 30 Wyverns for sure.

Thanks for the game

We played over 3 sessions, so I don’t remember many details, I should probably record it. The start was vigorous! Week 1 had days 1,2,3,4,6,7 in the Citadel. Sent 2 computers packing. At the start of the second week, an Inferno computer shows up with a good army, I have 13 Wyverns and meat and attack, expecting 13 Wyverns to easily wipe any stack, though in the castle there were 2 Hydras, Lizardmen, Wasps and Papa-Mephala, in short I attack without bringing reinforcements and they wreck me!!! -8 Wyverns and meat, I run with 5 Wyverns, the Inferno computer captures the secondary Conflux, and after that the whole game went down the drain! FB no chance, Mephala 19 34 16 12 with a main stack of 67 green Wyverns, which survive 2 blasts from Grindan :smile16: Thanks, for the game!

15.05.2012, Egor Korobeynikov (red, citadel, kreg, kreg) def s1va(blue,inferno,pir,pir) 2sm3d(3) I can't play Citadel at all, nothing to write about, on 133 I had 2 chudiks, 28 dogs, 40 goblins, 4 angels, 7 efreets, level 10 hero with Log, Earth, Attack, Pathfinding, Air and stats 9 3 2 2; my opponent had everything better, but he surrendered, thanks for the game!

external dwelling of devils right under the base + secondary Dungeon. guard of the external dwelling 20-49 ogres collected all the meat on 121 attacked - there are 49 of them with a gr stack. minimal losses in the external dwelling all the rest remained. with one demon I took the dwarven dwelling easily, on 131 I already had 5 devils but miscalculated the strength and threw the game on hydras( Thanks for the game.

13.05.2012 twaryna (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Tootsie Pie (blue, Castle, Valeska, Galthran) 8mm6a, 132

Unremarkable game. In the first week, I killed a bog creep and wandered around aimlessly with my heroes. Essentially, I didn't scout anything and didn't do anything useful. But on the respawn I found 2 Hives and a Griffin Conservatory. In the second week, I somehow managed to take the Conservatory (1) and grabbed the 2 Hives (9 + 12 wyverns). I bled a fair amount, but surviving with 20+ wyverns is doable. On 132, in the underground, I see Galthran with a small army. I take the Conservatory right under his nose (3), and he surrenders. Thanks for the game!

16.05.2012 Juristis (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Jenova) def Nolife (red, Fortress, Wystan, Gunnar) Panic 130%, 141
First game on Panic. There was 1 rest left, but it went perfectly, Cate and Orrin with 3 stacks, 2nd level built, Ciele arrives and immediately hits the orcs, forgot to block 1 stack in the process, and they killed my Griffin. Orrin opens the hut under the Castle, and inside is a Log! Everyone visit urgently! In my excitement, I also lose 2 more Crossbowmen on Skeletons without making singles. Well, and a Griffin external dwelling along the way.
I start clearing the respawn, on the 6th or 7th hero Jenova arrives and goes for the upgrade structures. Orrin is already at 112 with an experience log, but somehow Jenova seems more promising.
The respawn turns out to be chocolate-rich, 2 external dwellings of Pikemen, 2 of Griffins, 2 of Swordsmen, a Griffin Conservatory. I took both Pikemen and Griffin dwellings, the Swordsmen had dangerous guards. On 117 I took a Necro secondary hero, building tier 1-4, 6 in the Citadel. Ciele and Jenova picked up attack.
Despite the wealth of the respawn in external dwellings, money is average, and buying everything out right away on 121 doesn't work out. Besides, I decided to save resources for a Mage Guild for Ciele.
On 122 with Ciele, a mini Dwarf Cottage and I check the Griffin Conservatory, 3-4. Not an option.
On 123 with Jenova, a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, gives Tactics and Armorer, the question of the main-main hero disappears. With Fafner, a mini Medusa dwelling.
124 - we hit 17 Cyclopes with a War Machine, forgot that the ground isn't native, and they took a whole 7 Griffins from me. Captured a Conflux village on snow terrain, near it another Pandora's Box for 5k experience, I refuse Water 3 times, striving to level up the bases.
125 - Gauntlets of Speed near the Conflux behind Magogs, Jenova hits the second portal, a crowd of Medusas, also on snow, there's immediately a Griffin Conservatory, and again 3-4. The army goes home, Gird recaptures the Swordsmen external dwellings and discovers another Griffin Conservatory behind them. Ciele broke through home for the Log, but I no longer have special plans for Ciele.
126 - the second home Griffin Conservatory is 2-4. Decided to already gather for the third one.
127 - Jenova stays the night at the Stables, already with a Book, Expert Archery, Tactics, Log, Armorer, Advanced Offense. And stats 10-8. A dream, just, not a girl! Not enough land. I build 3 Marketplaces. At home, the only addition is the Griffin Bastion.
131 - Forget it, forget that Mage Guild. We exchange resources, almost full purchase, I break the Griffin Conservatory on snow with Jenova, three of them. Only 3 Griffins lost. Immediately I break through the University but don't enter it, still no money anyway.
132 - a Fortress village on a snow secondary, a Medusa dwelling on 8 with Jenova, gives Earth finally. Griffin Conservatory triple with Orrin, -4 Archers and 7 Halberdiers. Griffin Conservatory triple with Ciele, -2 Crusaders and a couple of Griffins. Total 9 Angels, I can go to the opponent.
133 - got lost and ended up in the treasure zone instead of the opponent. I replenish mana with the cap +4 in the treasure zone Citadel.
134 - captured a Berserker dwelling, discovered 2 Hives and 2 Bear external dwellings, Boots of Speed. I'm thinking about who to take into the army.
135 - Fafner climbs with the Angels into a Hive, max Hive, an Angel flies away from the volley. Flies away completely. I take the Boots and a Prison with Jenova, in the prison is Merist level 1, immediately takes a mini Naga Bank.
136 - a Hive on 8, total 20 Wyverns from 2 Hives. Not so bad for an Angel. Looking for Mercury. Jenova's speed boost on an Angel before what is presumably the opponent's secondary. 3900 moves!!!
137 - a neutral secondary hero, a Citadel village. I take the Magic Armor (+1 to all), and with it a Fireplace, in the fireplace is perfect, exactly the missing 6 Mercury. At home, Angels in the Citadel. Jenova buys Air Magic in the already checked University and stays the night at the Stables on the Necro resource zone.
141 - there is 1 road left, from a Conflux secondary through Behemoths. I buy out, whoever I can afford. I can't afford much, Angels, Unicorns, 9 Champions, Marksmen, 10 Griffins. I kill the Behemoths, grab the Inferno village behind them, again not captured by the opponent) And immediately behind it I see Gunnar. 50+ Monks are intimidating, but we're no pushovers either. Too bad the Air Magic is only Advanced. And I was already starting to dream about Archangels. Oh well, we attack.
FB - Opponent misclicks and sends the Serpent Flies forward. I kill the Serpent Flies with Griffins. The shooters exchange fire, -11 Lizardmen and -21 Crossbowmen. I charged forward... Well, and they caught me beautifully, blinding the Angels on the Monks' turn. I thought about it, but figured that in the Fortress they don't give Blind, so I messed up. I immediately lose -Crusaders.
Round 2 - Blind on the Champions (I think that was a mistake). Wyverns smash into the Griffins, - almost the entire stack, but 5 of them retaliate and kill Wyverns. Dispel on the Angels, Angel + Unicorn attack on the Monks, -17 of them I think. Halberdiers hit the Angels, but they survive on 7 HP.
Round 3 - Oil, attack on the Monks, from retaliation -3 Angels + poison, from the attack another -2. But there are already not many Monks left. True, the Lizardmen and Gnolls are still alive, and the Lizardmen shoot quite well (-Angel). Crossbowmen finish off the enemy Angel with 8 HP (+1 from the tent). In response, Blind on my Wyverns.
Round 4 - Wait with Angels, Dispel on the Unicorns, attack on the Monks. We have 16 left, Monks 9. They attack my Angels in response + Lightning from Gunnar, 2 remain. Lizardmen kill another one. I finish off the 6 remaining Monks with Halberdiers. I think we're winning) From Wait, I kill the tent with the Angel.
Round 5 - Haste on Halberdiers, there was morale, and the Unicorns seemingly flew in. In general, I don't remember rounds 4-5 exactly, because I was already very tired by that point. - all Gnolls were definitely gone in one round, and after that the opponent wrote gg, he had 111 Lizardmen left, I had Halberdiers, 16 Wyverns, and 11 Champions. Oh, and 1-2 dozen brave Crossbowmen. Thanks for the game, it turned out to be a nice FB, with mutual mistakes, but interesting.
P.S. In the screenshot, Jenova has Basic Air Magic, but in the FB it was already Advanced.

Juristis, I really enjoyed the discussion about the final battle; it was very interesting. I also really liked having a description of the final battle in the report!

16.05.2012 Lider1 (red, stronghold, Kreg, Galtran) def artbocha (blue, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 8MM6a 145

We played in 2 sessions, so I don't remember it well. It seemed like I had a rough start, but then a cheat-like Gosha arrived with 2 stacks; he foolishly threw away his own troops. Birds appeared in the citadel. And since I started from 121 at the stables, I took the boots at the respawn and life became, as they say, more cheerful. Also found +10% Necromancer. This whole situation reminds me of a joke by one of my comrades, or rather how I perceived it:

"The opponent dug up a necromancer, I looked into the tavern and surrendered"

Unfortunately, there is a lot of truth in this.
At first, the third party broke the Dragon Utopia, took the city from the AI, and headed toward the opponent. On the fourth, he took his swamp with growth, then another useless Dragon Utopia. We ran around for a bit; the opponent was struggling, so I decided not to drag it out.

Thanks for the game

05/16/2012 Juristis (blue, Castle, Kaitlin, Enova) def Nolife (red, Swamp, Vistan, Gunnar) Panic 130%, 141

It happened. A series of mistakes towards the end, and as a result, I lost, even though my opponent gave me a chance to win in the final battle. First, I took skeletons and troglodytes with me for some reason. (-2 morale, but I could have dealt 2 retaliations if the serpent had split, or if the monarch and general had attacked immediately). And in general, I didn't think they would attack... luckily, I didn't rush. The second mistake was in the final battle. When it was my opponent's turn, the battlefield appeared in the hero window, and I got confused and clicked on the battlefield to make the game active. But my turn was first, and the serpents flew to the center of the map to be defeated. Although they could have decided the outcome. And finally, as Juristis said, it was a mistake to cast a second Blind on the knights; I should have taken a risk and cast Mass Slow and attacked the angels... I was afraid of the mass haste. Thanks for the game.

16.05.2012 -=Leon=- (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def GoedenDag (red, Stronghold, Jabarakas) 200% 6lm10 143

We started without restarts, the layout was excellent, a crypt and a Griffin Conservatory are two steps away. On the very first day, I take the crypt, fight my way to the Griffin Conservatory, turns out it's a double. By day 117, I capture an external dwelling of Dendroids, but otherwise the first week was mostly uneventful. Then the funny part) Opp writes that he died on a pass from a respawn point, I suggest reloading the auto-save, it felt too bad to end it like that) Afterwards, I make Grand Elves and on day 123 I take the max Dwarf dwelling, push into the neighboring territories, and capture an Orc castle there without a fort. Then I go down, by day 141 I capture a couple of Gorgon nests, hire them, and get expert Earth Magic. Finally, I decide to go for the triple Griffin Conservatory with Slow, 30 Grand Elves, and some rabble, and I take it. The next day, opp writes that he got beaten by the computer and GG) It's a shame it ended that way, but oh well, thanks for the game!)

16.05.2012 -=Leon=- (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def GoedenDag (red, Stronghold, Jabarkas) 200% 6lm10 143

Started without restarts, great layout, crypt and Griffin Conservatory two steps away. On the very first day I take the crypt, fight my way to the conservatory, it turns out to be a double. By day 117 I capture the external dwelling of dendroids, but otherwise nothing interesting in the first week. Then the funny part) Opp writes that he lost on a spawn exit, I suggest reloading the autosave, it was such a shame to end it this way) Then I make grand elves and on day 123 I take the maximum gnome dwelling, break through to the neighboring territories and capture an orc castle there without a fort. Then I go down, by day 141 I take a couple of gorgon nests, hire them and get expert earth magic. Finally I decide to go for the triple conservatory with Slow, 30 grand elves and various rabble and take it. The next day opp writes that he got beaten by the computer and the main character) It's a shame it ended that way, but oh well, thanks for the game!)

It happened. In the first week I barely managed to place orcs and birds in the fort. Ran around with two heroes. Also had Luna. But lost her on autobattle. By the end of the third week I barely managed to place the behemoths. On day 142 I went into the least guarded portal and ran into a brown (conf) computer player, to whom I lost Gunnar and the entire army.
Thanks for the game.

16.05.2012 Lider1 (red, stronghold, Kreg, Galtran) def artbocha (blue, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 8MM6a 145

We played in 2 sessions so I don't remember well. Tough start I think, but then a cheesy Gosh came with 2 stacks, stupidly lost my native troops. Birds were spawned at citadel. And on 121 from the stables I went, took boots at respawn and life became what you might call more fun. Also found +10% necromancy. This whole situation reminds me of a joke about how I perceived one of my friends:

"The opponent dug up Necro, I looked at the tavern and surrendered"

Unfortunately, a lot of truth there.
At the start of week 3, I broke a Dragon Utopia, took the town from the computer and went to the opponent. On week 4, I took his swamp with growth, then another useless Dragon Utopia. Ran around a bit, the opponent's luck ran out, decided not to drag it out.

Thanks for the game

I confirm, at the start of week 2, I took all the Dragon Fly Hives on my respawn and the computer's (4), then immediately went to the center, but didn't find anything interesting there, the opponent already had 7 angels and 500+ skeletons while I only had around 30 Wyverns
thanks for the game

16.05.2012 -=Leon=- (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def GoedenDag (red, Castle, Valeska, Dimer) 200% 8mm6a 211

It's me again) We decided to play a rematch. I took a couple of restarts at first and it paid off, the respawn gave a great layout) A bunch of crypts, mystic gardens, mills and 2 dwellings)))(though one was very far away) In the first week I captured one dwelling, several mills, built up decently and took the crown +4 to knowledge. In the second week I upgraded the elves, there were already 40 of them and I started thoroughly clearing the respawn. I took 3 crypts (one had an artifact +1 to morale), an external dwelling of imps and nagas, and captured the club +5 to attack. By day 133 I collected the growth and took an external dwelling of dwarves and another 1 crypt, on day 135 I took a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns, burned the Griffin Conservatory for 3 and decided to take it (with earth magic I was lucky as always, it was level 2) Lost Centaurs, dwarves and a few dendroids and took the Conservatory. Then another crypt and by day 142, after taking the growth (there were already 90 Grand Elves) I decided to go and wipe out everything alive) By day 145 I reached the two-way monolith and immediately ran into a computer opponent with strong magic, lost 40 Grand Elves( but I didn't let him run away. On day 146 I took a useless Pandora's Box (60 goblins))) and on day 147 during the opponent's turn I burned the opponent, he couldn't run far and on turn 211 I attacked and won)
Thanks for the game!)
