26.05.2012 Exit (red, Fortress, Wystan, Tazar) def Bustard (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 137
We chose all the restarts and started. The distribution was very bad – the only road led to the Guardian, and there was no money at all. For the entire first week, I ran around my own territory on dirt roads and only managed to build 1-4, 6 in the Fortress, but a Hive ambush was spotted right next to the Castle, and Tazar appeared in the tavern. In the second week, I took a couple of money-making buildings, broke through to the adjacent map and took a Rampart there. Also, a Stronghold with blue flags appeared on another adjacent map, right at the entrance to it from my territory. In the third week, I bought upgrades, took 6 Wyverns, upgraded them along with the rest, and prepared to attack the opponent, but he broke through the guard and came to my territory, where he was defeated because he had much less troops.
Thanks for the game!

27.05.2012 pHOMM (Red, random, Tower, Iona, Isra) lose SolncevKot (Blue, random, Castle, Cuthbert, Tazar), Balance(L-U), 225, sod
report written during the game.
We chose all factions. Balance is a real beauty in terms of the number of restarts, and as always, on a no-restart game, Poppo came out.
Roads are super, but everywhere there are blocks with bypass through wasteland, annoying. No crypts to be seen, dwarf cottage neither, built the guild (no sharpshooters!), gargoyles not built. Striker came second, brought 10 zombies, WTF.
111 total crap, army just left in town, scattered - almost no money, Isra in the tavern - at least something, but not enough money to hire her.
112. scattered, hired Isra, not enough money even for the upgrade and hiring of gremlins, Isra just ran around like that, scout hero took 1 gargoyle on a secondary hero, thank God, without guards. Striker managed to find Necro+5 in a crypt.
113. upgraded gremlins, hired, Isra was brought Necro+5
Until 117 did something, don't remember because we adjourned at 115. 1-4 in the Citadel. +3 mana and Arena for attack. A bunch of Nagabanks... (all that I scouted - 20+)
122 broke through 20+ dragonflies on the way to a secondary - Citadel's on lava (so zone 6). Almost immediately an exit to the next zone, and with a damn block: on one side a lava lake, and on the other 20+ genies, I can even see the Citadel, very close (( took an Orc hut and left the zone for a wasteland secondary.
At 127 took a Dwarf Cottage there, as a result of which the Castle was built.
131 went to the zone with the Dungeon, took 2 heroes from prisons - Jedite and Rashka level 5 super scholar. Meat from them and the Dungeon will soon go for skeleton conversion. Portal to the zone with the Necro broken through, 8 Cerberi. On the other end 60 Storm Elementals, didn't go. While the chain was carrying the army and Magic 2 (many scholars and mages, every other one) I took a mini Naga Bank. At 136 broke through the Storm Elementals and took the Necro, immediately everything went for sausaging. Total 350 skeletons, 212 gremlins, 6 nagas, 15 mages, 22 golems. Isra trained some nonsense... they gave Sharpshooting initially, thought why not, took Water for some reason... then on the level-up there was Expert Necromancy and Resistance... took Resistance, then Air, then again Expert Necromancy and Offense... gave Wisdom last
Found a quest artifact - turned it in for 15 gold.
141 broke through some stuff in the treasure zone (zone 5) 400+ skeletons and there was contact, my scout hero-mage, Lightning Bolt -6 archers. Gocha's army with Tazar is not very good... no skeletons... Tazar is probably the main hero. On week 3 Tazar also showed up somehow.
142 set up a chain for delivery, I still want to get GM4 in time to use the found scrolls and the scholar-taught Resurrection even without Earth magic.
143 killed another scout hero. Out of stupidity, I went with a scout hero for a scroll and resources and a chest at Monks, there were 48 of them! A Resurrection scroll... I was in shock, because all the gremlins had died... I got an autosave... thank you very much. Well, at least the Cyclopes next in line for breaking through took it out on the skeletons... -76+5. Got GM4.
144-145 Went into enemy territory. Opp shows 20+ Storm Elementals from the Conflux. Angels (I saw him take the Griffin Conservatory. Pretty quickly, so few), Archers and Cavaliers. Opp left me an artifact +10 Shooting, very timely. I have 30 orcs, 250 gremlins, 500 skeletons, 23 mages, 10 nagas, 24 zombies, 50 gargoyles, 40 golems, thinking about who not to take into the final fight. Captured an artifact of Growth for level 4. Set up a chain to carry it to the main.
146 Already almost reached the Conflux ) in one quest they offered 30 Harpy Hags for the Helm+2 which I had on me, I didn't agree, the army is already a mishmash and the morale is awful. And there's a hat in sight only a +4 but far away. Nearby captured an artifact from Magogs for a second quest, will carry it soon. The artifact of +Growth for Mages has already been carried away.
147 Captured the Conflux, almost delivered the second artifact, via a chain and hero hiring brought another artifact of +Growth for Golems. Killed Gocian. Tazar with 5+ Angels and 5+ Cavaliers stood in front of the Griffin Conservatory on that lava respawn that I couldn't pass because of the block. Time ran out, didn't go with 3 scout heroes... was just delivering artifacts ))
211 Plague and final battle 1, opp has 14 Angels and 8 Cavaliers I think, Cavaliers one by one. He killed 150 skeletons, 200 gremlins, 5 nagas, some golems and gargoyles. Bought back on 8 Angels. I thought, that's it, got him.
He decided to run around some more. I got 30 Ice Elementals from a quest and already gathered 50 orcs. Morale was crying, well, there are morale boosters along the way.
213 Opp revealed that at the Griffin Conservatory he didn't lose his army, as I thought earlier, he still has a decent Castle force. As a result, I lost my key advantage - the treasure zone, he broke through his GO and went into it, I didn't have time to deal with it because I saw almost nothing there besides 1 Hive, everything else was far away.
The running around began, taking towns... they eventually took my main with GM4, battles of scout heroes.
I surrendered later, because there were already 20+ Dwarves showing up and all the force 100+ Halberdiers, Monks, Swordsmen, and Tazar of course. And I have a mishmash but a decent number of sharpshooters with Expert Archery and artifacts +5 +10 Shooting and pretty good in magic, including Clone which in the first final battle on skeletons reduced the Angels nicely.

Then we wanted to have a Fofan showdown but somehow couldn't find the time...

thanks for the good game ))

27.05.2012 Gomunguls(Red,random,Stronghold,Dessa,Gretchin)def Sevensan(Blue,random,Castle,Rion,Monere)8XM8a,1.2.4
We took our restarts, a game of luck... I run along the main road through a treasure chest into the cave losing decent troops and there's a block... at the respawn there were 3 treasure chests.. I immediately took 1000... grabbed the gnome horde at 15 with minor losses... at 121 I arrived at another gnome horde there at 20... then into another treasure chest where 4 Dragon Fly Hives and pandora's boxes that are easy to clear... after a couple of turns the opponent surrendered against a strong block

27.05.2012 Gomunguls(Red,random,Tower,Roland)lose Sevensan(Blue,random,Castle,Sanya,Sanya)Anarchy,1.2.2
Everything was great, on the very first day in the tavern I buy Roland, leveled him by 116 with exp log diplomacy and leadership... by 117 I had already gathered some followers, at 121 with 8 vampires I easily broke the 2nd Griffin Conservatory... at 122 I break the mini Griffin Conservatory and the 3rd losing 1 angel.. then I recruit 36 vampires totaling 44 and break the 4th Dragon Fly Hive and go into the max utopia... there I make a mistake and placing the vampires in the corner they get burned by black and gold dragons, the vampire stack weakens and few remain... after killing the dragons 1 red and 7 green remain and I lose the army and retreat... then I decided not to continue...

Thanks for the games!!!

27.05.2012 PlayHeroes_HP(Red, Castle ,Valya, Valya\ Clavius) def GoedenDag(Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) mm-131
Lucky layout, pass to 3rd respawn and respawns are not poor. Valya and Clavius ran on 2 fronts and eventually on 125 took a Griffin Conservatory three without mass magic with 130 skeletons by Valya in the underground, on 127 went to the opponent via a secondary, and he was standing near the conservatory. on 131 with an indestructible army (92 archers, 77 skeletons, 3 Angels, 50+ Pikemen, 21 gr. Griffins, 24 Knights, 9 Cavaliers) crushed the opponent almost without losses. thx for the game!

23.05.2012 kinger (red, random, Castle, Sylvia, Orrin) def darkello (blue, random, Dungeon, Arlach, Arlach) Anarchy v1.01 211

Agreed with one rest, used my own - didn't want to play Tower, then there was a generation with three castles each - also decided not to play.
Sylvia came with Navigation, hired Orrin in the tavern, whom I later leveled.

135 - behind a hundred+ Grands, captured a scroll with Fly, Air already trained to Adv. Revealed a Griffin Conservatory in the sands;
136 - the Griffin Conservatory turned out to be a tier 3 one, took it, then in a crypt they gave a sword +2 attack and defense;
137 - flew to the two-way portal, which led to the treasure zone and home;
141-142 - replenished mana, ran into the stable, in the tree trained Air to Expert, took growth and with Mass Haste ran to the treasure zone (8 Angels, 18 Champions and 128 Marksmen);
143 - behind a horde of Scorpicores they gave all Fire magic;
144 - killed a crowd of Minotaurs - scroll with Air Elementals, plus behind a hundred+ Demons they give archers +15% to shooting, bow +5% already had before;

Thanks to darkello for the game

27.05.2012 Juristis (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Hermit (red, Tower, Solmyr, Jenova) 8mm6a 145

145 - the opponent throws in the towel and surrenders (it will be interesting to find out which hero he lost with after the max Dragon Utopia).

26.05.2012 CryptoNight (red, Castle, Enova) def MaxGor (blue, Citadel, Tamika) 2sm4d3 123
Decided to play a Random Mirror, full random. After restarts - restarted myself a decent hand;) On resp 1 beehive, another 1 visible on the secondary - a bit further away off-road. No Conservatories :( But on 1 I managed to place angels in the fort.
On 121 I build a chain to the Dwarf Cottage - lvl 15, take it on 122, buy 2 native heroes, Enova started the week with a Stable, and on 122 is positioned before the exit to the adjacent zone. on 123 having nearly 30 archers(9 more sitting at home), 2 angels and 40+ spearmen - I break through to the Tower's adjacent zone, Enova already has Expert Water and Advanced Air, she picks up a Shield+6. Things are going well - but the opponent surrenders in Conservatory lvl 2, didn't take auto:( Although there were 3 Conservatories - it would have been quite interesting:smile13:

28.05.2012 dom2 (red, necro, random, Vokial, Vokial) def kinger (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d3 127

Played as 2-3 necro, had a ton of money on the first one — under 20K, scouted the native treasure zone, opponent suicided into a horde of vamps. Thx for the game.
