Posts from Reports of online games and their confirmations (Spring 2012 season).

I don't confirm: there was no agreement to play for rating.

18.05.2012 BloodRak(red, random, Castle, Sorhsa, Septiena/Nimbus) def Captain(blue, random, Castle, Ingham, Cristian) 127 2sm4d(3)
On the second week I found a necro secondary town, smelted 100+ skeletons. Ended up with 350 units. Collected 4 Dragon Fly Hives (28 ducks, lost 1). On day 126 the opponent captures my main. I run out of the portal with a good speed break, breaking through 50-99 trees along the way, getting Mass Air from Nimbus. I attack the native castle on the last move point and kill the opponent's scout hero with all my power in the castle without any trouble.

Thanks for the game!

19.05.2012 SVAROG (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Nolife (red, Tower, Torosar, Sirena 2SM4d(3), 144
I took one restart, 112 and off we went.
Week 1 — No hounds. With Crag Hack, 6 orcs arrive + I build 7 = 13, playable. I discover that the wood mine is blocked by 50-99 gremlins behind a pandora's box, and the stone mine by 10-19 demons. I think about taking 111, but I scout an external dwelling, we play. The third hero to arrive is Gosha. The path to the secondary is swamp guarded by 20-49 hounds. On 113 I attack — there are 48 of them! I get through with heavy losses, further on the road is blocked by 20-49 zombies. I attack and lose completely!!! There are 46 of them, and I have 13 orcs and a little fodder. I write GG, but my opponent gives me the auto-win, for which thank him. I replay the fights, and come out of them with 10 orcs and a couple of singles, capturing the swamp. Gosha expertises necromancy + I find a cloak in a cart, I get Earth magic, Crag Hack gets Tactics, Archery + I find an artifact +10% to Archery, Earth, but I only learned Slow at the end of the game. First week — complete failure, no wood or stone, by 115 only 1, 3, Citadel and 1000 are built. I build 2 marketplaces with the last wood, on 116 — hounds, on 117 — birds. Total: 1, 2, 3, 5 in the Citadel + 1000. Disaster. I didn't take the external dwelling because I had no one to take it with. But there was a lot of gold lying around.
Week 2: Lots of gold, so I immediately buy the growth + hire Grechkin with goblins — I take the external dwelling, losing 2 singles. I place them in the castle, so at the start of the week I have 2 Ancient Behemoths and a combat-ready army. I capture the secondary — Inferno, Naga Bank, max Medusa hive. In the castle: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 in the castle. Gosha makes skeletons, but very slowly.
Week 3: I take the pandora's box behind the gremlins — it gives 35 orcs. I break into the treasure zone and start clearing it, I get Sword +6, Shield +6, two Dragon Fly Hives +6, +12 Wyverns. No Oil, so losses are skeletons, which I was so desperately gathering. Pandora's box with 20 non-elite vampires. On 137 I stand with Crag Hack on the ramp before the Dragon Utopia.
Week 4: I pass the entire army along the chain — 10 non-elite Ancient Behemoths, 14 Wyverns, about 150 skeletons, I don't take 60 orcs into the Dragon Utopia, a hundred goblins, 20 vampires. I take the Dragon Utopia — there's a Helm +6 All. I lose almost all skeletons.
I break through an adjacent secondary to the opponent, I stand on the ramp with Crag Hack, the opponent attacks, I run away, Gosha is behind with the whole army and artifacts.
I pass the entire army back to the castle along the chain, buy back Crag Hack, upgrade the Ancient Behemoths, stand on the ramp in front of the GO — 5-9 Fairy Dragons (turned out to be 6). On 143 I attack, losing 2 Ancient Behemoths, 6 Wyverns, etc. I break through to the opponent's castle but fall short by a few moves; Crag Hack never got Logistics. Torosar stands in the castle and starts bombarding me with turrets. Takes out 3 or 4 birds. I don't dare attack — only 9 mana points, and there are 500+ Genies, 5-9 Angels, 10-19 Naga Queens, 20-49 Mages. I decide to go capture a secondary to replenish mana, I want to finish building the magic guild in Inferno — I had a scroll of Implosion. But the opponent attacked himself. Final battle: Crag Hack level 16, 23 21 10 9 (9 mana), 8 Ancient Behemoths, 7 Wyverns, 57 orcs, 98 orcs. Sirena level 12, 1 5 6 9 (87), 8 Angels, 500+ Genies, 11 Naga Queens, 33 Mages, single Genies. Sirena casts Mass Haste, hides the Genies. My turn — expert Oil, I hit the Angels with 8 Ancient Behemoths — 5 of them gone immediately. The opponent surrenders! Thanks for the game, and for the auto-win! The pace was very slow due to the lack of wood and stone; I thought it was 100% a lost game, but everything turned out well!

17.05.2012 twaryna (red, Castle, Orrin, Orrin) def VanjaM (blue, Stronghold, Crellion, Crag) 2SM4d(3), 115

We played random. The game gave a chocolate: 2 native heroes, a huge rich respawn, from the first days I ran with 8 heroes, took a secondary Rampart and Citadel (where bears were planned, and horses in the Citadel). Orrin got Earth, with a Dragon Fly Hive respawn near the Griffin Conservatory and a troglodyte nest under the Castle, a couple of good artifacts behind normal guards, in general everything was great. But the opponent's game didn't go well and a concession followed. Thanks for the game!

19.05.2012 Kluka (red, Castle, Valeska, Adel) def
Nolife (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Roland) Anarchy (7) 136

We agreed on fast-paced gameplay.
In the first round, the opponent scouted the map.
The second time, I defeated him in the Castle on turn 111 (apparently, through a bugged passage).
The opponent took a second 111.
Then I took 111, and the game began.

111. Adel, Mullich, and Kirr arrived. A total of 7 heroes. I took 2 crypts, there are 4 roads.
112. I really wanted to break through 20+ air units blocking the road, but I didn't. A strange move - I placed a GM1 and headed for 20+ gr. griffins for Pandora (dangerous!!! it turned out there were only 22 - I broke through with losses, sacrificing a hero from the 3rd hero). Pandora turned out to be 5K experience (exp. diplomacy, basic air). 6 roads were discovered. I opened the scouting, and from there I see a utopia.
Analyzing the map, I realize that there should be more villages/towns on my side.
113. I took a +4 shield for 80 gr. fairies (-14 copies), my home town. I see Pandora behind 50+ gr. gremlins, I don't want to attack. I found a GO on lava (giants, or nagas + angels).
114. Mini-gnome.
115. Connected 25 nomads, 1 died immediately.
116. I took the second town, placed it, and bought an angel. I refused to recruit 49 undead for money. Sword +3, hat +4.
117. Gold mine. I hid archers. In order to transfer the Legion body to the Castle, I sent a hero there who could give Adel the angel. As a result, Adel went to the medusa lair, ended up on level 8, and lost 9 archers and a monk. Then, in the medusa lair on level 4, she lost another monk.
Kirr got diplomacy, it would be worth leveling him up.
At home, angels are in the Citadel, in one of the secondary towns - a fort + 1000.

121. I got tired of running around a crowd of gr. pegasus, guarding the archer lair. I attacked with 2 angels + reinforcement, and lost another 7 archers :(
122. Kirr leveled up diplomacy, Adel got tactics. +8 view.
123. Adel breaks through the upper guard of the elevator, but there are 20 monks below, it's dangerous without mana. Kirr breaks through another passage in the metro, takes an empty Pandora :( and gets armor (skill).
124. I joyfully recruited 31 crusaders for Pandora with 30 gr. harpies.
125. I joyfully recruited 35 marksmen and 11 uniques for free, 27 gr. medusas for money (8K). Kirr got offense, I'll never level up earth that way :)
126. I joyfully recruited 46 gr. griffins, Pandora has 25 of them. I joyfully recruited 16 cyclops, but there were no free slots - I fired 11 uniques :( :( :( I took a gold mine and an emerald spring.
127. Adel attacks a GO (behind it, 2 Pandoras were discovered - hopefully for money), but there are 20K experience and level 2 magic. Due to the ability of the Death Knights and my stupidity -1 angel :(
I'm enchanting 15K on the external market, at home angels with griffins are in the Castle, in one of the secondary towns - angels without griffins are in the Castle.

131. Adel took Pandora with 15K experience and shooting in the last slot. +12 view.
132. Kirr takes a utopia - level 3 (shield +4 all, armor +10-2, book of air) (-1 angel).
Adel also takes a utopia level 3, - book of fire, bag of money, captain's hat, orator's hat.
133. Mini-utopia: sword of justice, +1 speed. Ground cartographer!
The opponent has gold dragons, a fort is not placed in the secondary towns. There is an archmage, but I don't see anything recruited.
134. Day of stupidity. I joyfully recruited 8 red dragons and 15 gr. cyclops for money. I took a utopia level 3, where I lost my griffins to dragons :( and lost a lot more on gr. efreets (why did I even attack them??? there's flight!).
Meanwhile, the opponent is also visiting the cartographer using flight.
135. Pandoras on level 1 magic and 2 with 20K experience. Mini-utopia: sandals +2 all. Kirr, using the orator's hat, steals a red orb and a buff for earth.
136. I connected 20 red dragons, 16 devils, 26 firebirds, a horde of gr. cyclops for money, took a mini-utopia. I freed Jelar, level 20, from prison, transferred the army to him, and got stuck in the middle of the road.
The opponent, seeing the army, surrenders.
Thanks for the game.
