Posts from "Newcomer-2012. Summer"

So, on July 13, 2012, we'll summarize the results of the first round in the morning. Technical losses will be awarded to both players for all games that were not completed on time.

It's only noon on the 12th now. Maybe someone will finish their game on the last move?:smile24:
If we hadn't played with Vlad yesterday, would I have also received a technical loss? I've been writing to him since Monday, and it turns out he's been writing to me too. ICQ is glitching, and messages aren't being delivered. QIP died and unexpectedly came back to life yesterday afternoon. That's why we were able to finish the game.

It's only noon on the 12th right now. Maybe someone will manage to finish their game in the last move?:smile24:

The results of the games I was waiting for have appeared. We were warned about the technical results, and those who wanted to withdraw did so.
The situation in the groups is perfectly clear. The players are eager to fight!!! I don't see any reason to deprive the participants of their gaming Friday:confused:

Players are eager to jump into the battle!!! I don't see the point in depriving the participants of Friday gaming:confused:

:smile41: well, here:smile16:
I just can't seem to stretch the time:smile04:
I'm leaving on Monday morning, and there's a chance that I'll face technical issues again:smile08:
So, where's the game report from twaryna - hunter98? I'm curious to know who won against whom and how...
because my internet was cut off, and I couldn't finish watching the stream.
hmm, and is the stream supposed to be a substitute for the report? I don't quite understand:smile01:

So be it, I'll write a report for Twaryna, thought he had already written it, but I don't see a report... and the group stage is already over...
11.07.2012 hunter98(blue, conf, tunar, pacis) lose twaryna(red, ramp, Ivor, Gunnar) 2sm4d(3) 216
Played in a way I don't understand, everyone says I played beautifully, I thought so too, but the last two weeks of stupidity just let me down... so I'm still a rookie, no matter how hard I try! :)
111 light up respawn, seems decent, in tavern pacis with two stacks and that's 12 air elementals + ballista from Torosar, main is 4th level, since there's earth and logistics so I didn't take resurrection
112 near mini crypt, cleared ring +1 hp with 15 cerberi, army suspiciously melts fast... light up Dragon Fly Hive for 20-49 minotaurs
113 hit 10+ gr demons for armor +1 all, 12 air elementals with gs(they blocked passage), 40 mummies and 30 hellhounds for passage to secondary Dungeon, from army only 16 air elementals, but pacis is already level 6
114 capture the Dungeon and hire 2 heroes to eat up the gold around
115 level-up main, she's already 7th level and will soon be 8
116 found experience boosters and +1 attack in a shield scroll
117 birds appear, hit 20 mummies for experience
121 want to take the Conservatory, but they are tier 3 (sacrificed a scout hero for this), so killed 27 minotaurs and Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wvyerns, didn't manage to level armor...(
122 Conservatory tier 3 without armor, but earth is advanced so spent all 20 mana and smashed the Conservatory without losses (singles and 5 air elementals) and leveled armor and another level along the way
123 split way home to reach the grass secondary faster, sent Dessa there, took the crypt, cleared a bunch of gold, lit up a thick naga bank, but didn't take it with the scout, lit up boots for 70+ ghosts
124 cleared the boots, stand at the entrance to the treasure zone
125 Pandora for 7 gr bears for 15k gold
126 light up another Conservatory at my respawn, it turned out to be right next to the secondary, cleared two Hives, one for 30+ vampire lords, the second for 18 gr Wvyerns, luckily the main reached them, and the Hive itself was taken by Kyrre from the prison, also took a gold mine, a Pandora for 10k experience for 95 gr eyes, sacrifice birds on them...(
127 see Gunnar who killed 50 monks and took an external dwelling of dragons and is running to his double which he simply didn't manage to capture because Gnolls blocked the scout's path, and making chains back somehow isn't reasonable, split to Dungeon for double mana, via chain cleared the Conservatory at respawn (2) then with long and unclear manipulations of heroes managed to assemble a chain to the Dungeon, but had to dismiss and hire about 5 heroes (that's where Pandora saved me) take Dwarf Cottage 20, it was just on the way, take the Conservatory tier 3 with pacis (was just lucky with Conservatories in this game) decided to run to the Dragon Utopia
131 split to my main who knows why, first wanted to chase Gunnar, but then there was a commotion, killed two scouts, ran main to the untaken naga bank, gave Dessa the bird and exactly enough money to buy back, but Dessa never appeared in the tavern, although I bought her back (just like that -1 bird...((()
132 naga bank near max, split to Dungeon for Dragon Utopia and again long and cunning manipulations with chains
133 smash -10 gray bears for Pandora on 10k experience and sword +2/2 take Dragon Utopia tier 3 without losses, maybe except for sacrificial meat: 10+ earth elementals and 20 fire elementals, give awesome stuff: sword +5 all, shield+4 all, water book and helmet +5
134 kill 100+ gr medusas for ring +morale/luck and 90+ gr medusas for Pandora on 10k experience or 15k, I don't remember
135 hit 15 red dragons with gs, but sub got killed, lost 1 bird and 4 Wvyerns... but there's a blue orb!
136 take opponent's double, split against Walking Deads home to hit GO, but messed up and didn't learn Town Portal because I forgot to build a Mage Guild when pacis was home... but still the perspective of Town Portal!!!
137 one empty slot left and the next level-up will give a new skill, somewhat scary to risk until I get Eagle Eye or Navigation... didn't quite make it to opponent's main, operation failed...
141 light up opponent's army, there are already gold dragons, I have little mana and almost no destructive magic, had to split for Town Portal and double mana
142 study water at university to avoid risk, try to run to the Citadel's respawn and from there to the treasure zone, this took a week...
145 another mini Dragon Fly Hive((( light up Conservatory and passage to treasure zone
146 Conservatory 3, very pleased, in the treasure zone I see a vial +2 hp and a grave (which I never opened :o )
147 clear all this + clear the cap (control and explosion, not so scary anymore)
211 they take away my last town, which was also my main with a capitol, opponent learned Town Portal, which is not pleasing, a prison with 5th level Gundula is taken and another mini Dragon Fly Hive((
212 Pandora for experience for 70+ Thunderbirds
213 getting ready to take back the Dungeon, take Titan's Gladius and +1/1 knee pads
214 can't reach the Castle even with Dimension Door, had to kill a mini Dwarf Cottage and Cyclops Cottage
215 take the Dungeon, getting ready to take back my main
216 Gunnar is holed up there, but there's no other choice anyway and there's nothing left to eat, in fb they killed me in two rounds, although stats were roughly equal and there was armor, but damage was flying at me as if I were a neutral...
Thanks for the interesting game!)
P.S. notice the loss of tempo after the Dragon Utopia at 133 (almost nothing changed)...
P.P.S. in the finale he also had 100 elves and meat, but I don't know where he stored them, so just a screenshot of the hero
Notes for those who liked our game, and just for the eliminated rookies to learn something))

Alright, I’ll write a report for Tvarina, I thought he had already written it, but I don’t see the report... and the group stage is already over...

Alright, I’ll also write a report for myself ;) The game, imho, is worthy of a final for a novice. Everything was going so well for me at the beginning, and my opponent kept up, even getting ahead in some ways, which sometimes amazed me.

111. Fast roads, two directions from the Castle. A little starting meat. Dwarves are built. 5 heroes (with meat – Aeris and Isra). I scout the respawn with a view spell: very large and rich. I can see 4 water mills, 3 Dwarf Cottages, 3 crypts, a Dragon Fly Hive, a Griffin Conservatory, 2 external Pegasus dwellings, a couple of experience stones, a Dragon Utopia. It’s all quite spread out, needs to be collected cleverly. Gunnar runs to an experience stone, advances tactics, prepares to hit snipers for the external Pegasus dwelling. I pray that I have enough wood to upgrade the elves.
112. I upgrade the elves, Ivor captures the first external Pegasus dwelling behind the golems, gets logistics from the experience stone. Gunnar takes a crypt, kills the snipers, advances logistics and gets offense. On the path, I see an exit to the citadel-respawn for 20+ elves.
113. Gunnar takes a crypt, an experience stone (experted tactics and logistics), +1 attack, and stands by a Dwarf Cottage. If it’s small, I plan to take it; if not, I retreat home (the action is in a corner of the respawn without roads). 7 heroes. I set up a chain to return meat home and start gathering.
114. Dwarf Cottage has 20 with growth, I don’t dare take it. Gunnar retreated home and ran along the path in an unknown direction. 8 heroes.
115. Captured the needed crystals. Built Pegasi. Gunnar took a necro secondary in the underground. Also visible are 2 external skeleton dwellings.
116. Gunnar bought a spell book. Experted offense. Ran further along the respawn road, found an external elf dwelling. Can see a GO – 50+ Wyvern Monarchs. At home, Cavaliers were built, Isra ran off to necromance a bit.
117. Gunnar approaches a Griffin Conservatory – a throng. At home, 1-6 in the Castle. 1000 gold left, but there’s a Dwarf Cottage and near the Conservatory 2 chests, a chain mail +4 attack, and a Naga Bank for 50+ ghosts. Isra checked another Dwarf Cottage – max with growth. Septienna took the external skeleton dwellings.
121. Ivor took a Dwarf Cottage with 15. Gunnar broke through the rags, collected the chests, chain mail, and took the Naga Bank (4-stack). Gunnar got fire..
122. I check the Goblin Conservatory – a 4-stack.. I don’t dare take it. I lead Gunnar along the +2 spell power increases. Towards an adjacent grass respawn with a Dragon Fly Hive. Meanwhile, the meat is heading to the home Dragon Fly Hive, which Ivor plans to hit, plus a nearby Pandora’s Box with 50+ energy elementals.
123. Ivor kills the Dark Elves and takes the mini Dragon Fly Hive. Then I miscalculate a bit and don’t have enough steps to kill the energy elementals( Gunnar basically stands still. It’s a chaotic and bad turn(
124. Ivor hits the energy elementals, takes the Pandora’s Box for 10k experience. Levels up logistics and water to expert. Gunnar takes a max Dragon Fly Hive, gets an armor upgrade, and retreats home to refill mana, speeds up on an upgraded Pegasus.
125. Ivor takes a max Dwarf Cottage. At home, I build Mage Guild 2 (got Blind). Gunnar takes the Griffin Conservatory, experts armor, and goes deep into the grass secondary. There’s a well and a Naga Bank. Plenty of gold, I start thinking about dragons.
126. Gunnar takes a Naga Bank (4-stack), a Cyclops dwelling, can see another Naga Bank. 17 crystals, 17k gold, dragons getting closer. Gunnar experts fire.
127. Gunnar takes a Naga Bank, another 4-stack I think. And finds an external dragon dwelling. What a royal gift! Also found crystals, dragons are successfully built in the Castle. And 17k gold still remains. But in the tavern, I see the opponent has more gold – I’m a bit stunned... Gunnar got archery.
131. I take the home secondary. Gunnar heads to the Dragon Fly Hive. I don’t immediately notice another Griffin Conservatory nearby. Septienna runs for reconnaissance, I scout a piece of the opponent’s respawn. I see a Naga Bank with no guard. I think about retreating Gunnar home and taking the Dragon Utopia.
132. The opponent’s hero ran in, we fought a bit. I take a Goblin Conservatory (3-stack). Gunnar opens an empty prison. I take a mini Dragon Fly Hive and retreat Gunnar home. Meanwhile, Pasis with full meat is standing not far from the secondary. I see 5+ angels, 20+ ducks, birds, air elementals, fire elementals. Stats are roughly equal.
133. Pasis takes a Naga Bank (I thought it was already taken), doesn’t take the secondary, and seems to run into the treasure zone. Gunnar takes a minimal Dragon Utopia, which gives boots of resistance, necro boots, and a necro cloak) Rubbish basically. Could necromance, but no time and no real place... Gunnar enters the citadel secondary.
134. Gunnar takes the citadel secondary, speeds up. Meanwhile, Pasis’s stats in the tavern jumped by 10+ all. I’m quietly stunned... On the citadel respawn, I see an exit to the treasure zone, but it’s a bit far. I decide to retreat to the necro secondary next turn; there’s a quick exit to the treasure zone there.
135. I exit into the treasure zone and immediately a Dragon Utopia! And a shield +6 defense. The Dragon Utopia this time is excellent, gave Wings, a jacket +4 attack and defense, a ring +1 speed. But I took it poorly, lost a dragon and an angel. I got caught by my own dragons’ fireball during positioning (also lost a couple of ducks in the Dragon Fly Hive earlier).
136. I run Gunnar into the second treasure zone. Slowly moving meat out of the secondary.
137. We fought a bit with weak heroes over my secondary. I see Pasis on the open field, not far from the GO. Luckily, it’s a long way to my Castle.
141. Pasis doesn’t quite reach my main. Gunnar takes a max Dragon Fly Hive and retreats home. I build and upgrade gold dragons.
142. Pasis retreats home. Gunnar flies into the citadel treasure zone.
143. The treasure zone turns out to be the first one I was in, but then I only took the Dragon Utopia, didn’t go further. Meanwhile, Kira scouts the treasure zone the opponent was in.
144. Gunnar takes a pre-mini Dragon Fly Hive, hits 100+ Liches for a Pandora’s Box. I pray for magic. Wisdom is already leveled. Meanwhile, a weak hero found a Dimension Door scroll. I take the meat out of the secondary again and the dragon from the external dwelling. Strange that the opponent didn’t take the external dwelling at least.
145. It’s experience in the Pandora’s Box... It gives Ballistics( Gunnar takes a ring +1 HP, speeds up. Ivor goes to the other end of the treasure zone, where a necklace +3 all is visible. Sandor, level 10 from prison, carries a Dimension Door scroll.
146. Ivor captures the necklace and another earth boost and an Admiral’s Hat. At home, I build Mage Guild 5 (at level 4 – got Chain Lightning, at level 5 – Mirror Image). Sandro Dimension Doors into the treasure zone where the action is. Gunnar positions himself for a Pandora’s Box with 5+ titans.
147. Gunnar gets meat delivered, the +3 all necklace, a Dimension Door scroll, he takes the Pandora’s Box for 15k experience behind the titans, and Dimension Doors into the zone with the enemy secondary, kills a weak hero, and speeds up in a dungeon, getting ready to drain mana. I send a scout to the opponent’s respawn.
211. The scout wasn’t killed for some reason and reveals the opponent’s Castle, with zero guard. The sped-up Gunnar captures the enemy main and speeds up there.
212. Through a stat boost and a +1 level tree, I lead Gunnar to an unexplored treasure zone entrance near the home secondary.
213. Gunnar enters the treasure zone. A chain is set up for supply from home.
214. Gunnar finds and takes the 2nd Dragon Utopia. It gives an Air spell book.
215. Gunnar clears the treasure zone, finds nothing interesting, takes a prison, and Town Portals to the home secondary. Ivor prepares with Wings to take a Dragon Fly Hive behind the mountain, near the treasure zone exit.
216. Pasis takes a dungeon and heads towards the Conflux. Ivor takes a max Dragon Fly Hive. Troops are returned to Gunnar, and he runs and Town Portals into the Conflux. On his turn, Pasis attacks. In the finale, I had a significant advantage in meat: 105 elves, 14 war unicorns, 46 Wyverns, 46 Pegasi, 6 angels, 4 birds. Stats and skills are in Hunter’s screenshots. In 2 rounds, Pasis’s army fell. In theory, the opponent could have played around with summoning elementals; he had plenty of mana and good spells. But he didn’t.

Thanks for the game!

Yeah, what a group we've got!!! HellLighT, hunter98, and me. I feel like I'm in a group with Barcelona and Chelsea. If LuckyLoozer joins later, I'll ask you to pay attention to me.

we don’t need you to set those losses for us!! we’re playing.

13.07.2012 HellLighT (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def hunter98 (red, Castle, Valeska, Nella) 2sm4d(3) 134

We grind like Stakhanovites, starting to play right after the tavern distribution.
111 from me, 112 from hunter, and off we go. A good start: 11 elves from the get-go, a stable, plenty of gold, and treading guards—let's play.

Week 1

On 111, I spread out to 5 heroes, but on the horizon there's a swarm of chests and piles of gold. The secondary turned out to be grassy; the only thing that held me back was 33 dwellings with Griffins on the other side of the portal. Even with 18 elves, it was very tough—lost about 10 centaurs. Ivor gets Earth magic—superb. I pray for a native secondary... and it turns out to be just that—I rejoice, especially since there's a mountain of gold. The richest SMaC distribution I've ever seen; Jebus Cross is... nervously smoking on the sidelines :D. Everything goes well, any crypts are cleared without a hitch, Ivor levels up, but then a problem arises: the secondary Mage Guild has no Slow, and scrolls from sanctuaries are being stingy too. So hunter and I sit around complaining to each other that there are no Griffin Conservatories at all, when toward the end of the week I stumble upon 2 Griffin Conservatories on the outskirts of the secondary. I realize Slow is needed like never before, so I make a smart move: instead of placing Rogues in the main town, I build a Mage Guild where there's also no Slow! Ta-da-dam :{ By 117, I have 1-5 in the main town's castle and 1-3 in the secondary's castle, topped off with a sack of 22k gold :smile54:.

Week 2

I buy out all growth down to zero and race from the stable at full speed to the first Griffin Conservatory. I have Mass Shield and plenty of tanking power. On 122, I climb in, scout—2-4, I jump in without checking—A FOUR... but 56 Grand Elves, 95 Captain Centaurs, 25 Dwarves, 9 Dendroids, and 15 Pegasi were quite ready for battle... however, my professionalism kicked in! I'd rather it had been with Griffins. As expected, I start positioning defense in the bottom corner for the Grand Elves, and deciding that the Griffins would target the Dwarves next to the Grand Elves, I immediately rushed with the Captains to seal off the second part of the external dwelling while also hitting them (after all, 95 is a battle stack) where another Griffin was perched, so the Grand Elves had to wait. The Griffins didn't miss a beat and started splitting my Light Elves... I choked on my dinner and began crying bloody tears, especially after the top stack of 40 Griffins morale-boosted and struck again :smile35: :smile35: :smile35: :smile07: :smile21: :smile05: :smile39:. In a rage from losing 19 Grand Elves, I scattered the remains of the flying chickens throughout the entire Conservatory, but my expected losses were, of course, completely different (screenshot below). Nearby is a well; I refill mana and run to the second one—3-4 with Griffins, which I was incredibly happy about. The three fell with losses of 3 centaurs. Surveying the land, I discover another passage through the treasure zone to the swamp respawn where opponent movement was visible. With Boots of Speed and stables, Ivor with 3+ movement points rushed toward the opponent. In the treasure zone, I casually ate a Pandora's Box for 15k experience and a Sentinel's Shield, after which Ivor looked pretty funny with stats of 2 21 4 4. On 126, I take the swamp; on 127, I take the opponent's main town. There’s no Air magic, so I didn’t know where to chase him, but at least I took the growth, and that’s a relief.

Week 3

I ran into the Inferno treasure zone through the swamp portal, which turned out to be a wrong guess, but I started devouring all the goodies there, gradually snatching 2 more of the opponent's towns with my "noob" moves, after which he became a hobo with a 7-day shelf life :smile09:. In the treasure zone, I picked up KV, a couple of Pandora's Boxes for experience, a Necklace of Swiftness+Spell, and on 134, the opponent capitulates. Thanks for the game

Wow, what a group! HellLighT, hunter98, and me. I feel like I'm in a group with Barcelona and Chelsea. If LuckyLoozer joins later, I'll ask them to pay attention to me.

Randomness did its job, and Wladysha and .DiGGeR ended up in the same group again:smile32:

13.07.2012 HellLighT (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def hunter98 (red, Castle, Valeska, Nella) 2sm4d(3) 134

We're grinding like Stakhanovites, started playing right after the distribution.
111 from me, 112 from Hunter and off we go, a good start, 11 elves from the start, a stable, money thrown in + guard of Centaurs - we're playing.

Week 1

On 111 I branched out into 5 heroes, but on the horizon there's a swarm of chests and piles of gold. The secondary turned out to be grassy, the only thing that tripped me up was 33 Dwarf Cottages with Aegis of the Guardian on the other side of the portal, even with 18 elves it was very hard to take, lost about 10 Centaurs, Ivor gets earth magic - great, I pray for the native secondary... and so it turns out - I rejoice, considering there's just mountains of gold, the richest distribution for SM that I've ever seen, Jebus Cross is... nervously smoking on the sidelines :D. Everything is going well, any crypt is cleared without problems, Ivor is leveling, but then a problem pops up, there's no Slow in the Guild of the secondary, the shrines in sanctuaries are also stingy. So we sit there with Hunter complaining to each other that there are no Griffin Conservatories at all, when by the end of the week I find 2 Griffin Conservatories on the outskirts of the secondary, I realize that Slow is needed more than ever, I make a clever move, and instead of putting Rogues in the main, I put a Guild where there's also no Slow! ta-da-dam :{ by 117 1-5 in the main's castle and 1-3 in the secondary's castle, and on top of that weighed down by a bag of 22k gold :smile54:.

Week 2

I buy out all the growth to zero and from the stable rush at full speed to the first Griffin Conservatory, there's mass Shield and a ton of health, on 122 I take it, scout - 2-4, I go in without checking, FOUR... but 56 Grand Elves, 95 Centaur Captains, 25 Dwarves, 9 Dendroids and 15 Pegasi, were quite ready for battle... however, my professionalism kicked in! it would have been better if they had Aegis of the Guardian, I as usual start placing defense on the bottom corner for the Grand Elves, and deciding that the Griffins would hit the Dwarves next to the Grand Elves, I immediately ran the Captains to close the second part of the external dwelling simultaneously hitting them (after all, 95 is a fighting stack) where another Griffin was sitting, so the Grand Elves had to wait, the Griffins didn't get confused and started splitting my Light Elves... I choked on my dinner and started crying bloody tears, especially after the top stack of 40 Griffins got morale and hit again :smile35: :smile35: :smile35: :smile07: :smile21: :smile05: :smile39: in a rage from losing 19 Grand Elves I scattered the remaining flying chickens throughout the entire conservatory, but of course I expected completely different losses (screenshot below). Nearby a well, I replenish mana, run to the second - 3-4 with Aegis of the Guardian, which I was incredibly happy about, the three fell with losses of 3 Centaurs. Scouting the land I discover another passage through the treasure zone to a swamp respawn where the opponent's movement was visible, with Boots of Speed and stables Ivor with 3+ MP, rushed to the opponent, in the treasure zone incidentally ate a Pandora's Box for 15k experience and a Sentinel's Shield, after which Ivor looked quite funny with stats 2 21 4 4. On 126 I take the swamp, on 127 I take the opponent's main, there's no air magic, so I didn't know where to run after him, well at least I took the growth and that's pleasing.

Week 3

I ran into the Inferno treasure zone through the swamp portal, as it turned out I guessed wrong, but I started devouring all the goodies there, slowly like a noob I ate another 2 of the opponent's castles, after which he became a bum with a 7-day shelf life :smile09: in the treasure zone I took a KV, a couple of Pandora's Boxes for experience, a necklace +3a+kn, on 134 the opponent capitulates. Thanks for the game

It was... but the map trolled me...
111 ranged units available, lit up 5 crypts, broke a couple, 6 heroes available Pits and Nella, fell for that, I break 33 mummies for a passage into the underground
112 next 30+ traps I take a necro secondary, then I clear everything that doesn't attack at range)))
113 I beat 11 Diamond Gargoyles, capture the Citadel
114 chains clear the respawn... take a mini-crypt
115 Horses are placed, with two Champions life became more fun
116 Mini Dwarf Cottage
117 I'm standing at a Dragon Fly Hive behind 50+ Demons, +horses in the castle
121 I take via chain a pre-maxi crypt, which was pleasing, break the guard of the Dragon Fly Hive, but don't reach it by 1 move
122 Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, I go to the swamp secondary, there I take a pre-mini Dwarf Cottage
123 Took the swamp secondary, took a scouting view with a noob
124 Portal to the Inferno treasure zone, but knowing what guards are there from the scouting view I decided not to go there
125 I rush to the castle to at least learn something in the Guild, and there as usual nothing, no Slow of the Masses, no Haste, but there is Water and Fire Protection d**n it
126 I burst into the underground treasure zone, because I saw a Dragon Fly Hive there, guard 50+ Storm Elementals, had to waste mana to not waste the army and all for nothing... the Dragon Fly Hive is mini...
127 I take out 60+ Ogre Magi, 80+ Pit Fiends and 60+ Magma Elementals, and get a beating, take a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns
131 I take another mini Dragon Fly Hive
132 Pandora's Box for 20+ Psychos with Aegis of the Guardian for 15 Trolls, losing a colossal amount of meat
133 I break 100+ Grand Griffins for some junk, but losing a decent amount of meat because anti-morale as always 100500 times, then I see the last Dragon Fly Hive behind 50+ Magi I gave them 3 Trolls 1 Wyvern and 30 Sharpshooters... the Dragon Fly Hive is mini again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here my nerves gave out, and the opponent was already eating the tastiest things on the map
thanks for the game!
P.S. across the entire map I didn't see any stat artifacts, except maybe in that Inferno treasure zone behind a horde of Scorpicores and in my own treasure zone a sword +3 for 50-99 Diamond Golems, and in general there were few artifacts... and there were no external dwellings either, by the way those 5 crypts I fell for two mini, two pre-mini and one pre-maxi and what's the use of them...

finally played :)
13.07.2012 artbocha(red,Citadel,Krag,Krag) def ShadowManiac(blue,Castle,Valeska,Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 127
There were 2 external dwellings of wolves, 1 of goblins and 1 of cyclopes, behind strong guards (never got it), Dragon Fly Hive and cons on respawn were not there
125 in the Castle
by the second week there were 90+ wolves already, took both secondary ones, placed bears, wanted to attack GO if I level up Earth, didn't work out, decided to go to the opponent through the adjacent zone on 131, the opponent surrendered,
didn't give auto because I really wanted to sleep

thanks for the game, good luck in further development

13.07.2012 darkello(red Rampart, Ivor Moner) def MaxGor (blue Danjion, shakti,shakti) 2sm4d(3) 215
So I started with my 3 restarts, opponent without them.. as it dealt, so we went.. first after breakthroughs to 113 from 42 upgraded Centaurs and 6 archers.. 15 Centaurs and 3 archers remained.. as a result the respawn turned out to be very rich in gold and very large, I spread out into 8 heroes, immediately chose Moner as main. By 117 I built everything up to Unicorns and the citadel.. also found 2 external dwellings of elves, so by 121 I had 50 upgraded elves.. on 122 I took the Griffin Conservatory at level 1 and only on 123 the second castle in the Dungeon (with a poor respawn).. then more interesting.. from 131, from the lower Dungeon, 2-3 hexes along the road from my main castle, the opponent emerged. By this time he had expert Logistics, expert Earth Magic, and expert Attack (of course he had Slow).. then the opponent started running around the castle but didn't dare attack the hero.. the fuss lasted until day 136 where I, after passing through chumps, first took the Necklace of Swiftness +1 (since the opponent had Tactics, it was very important to move first and cast Slow).. and also took the chain +4 attack.. on 136, as I said, I came out myself and attacked the opponent.. he had Tactics.. he moved close to my elves, but THEn bam my Slow in the form of oil.. after shooting his 3 angels (slide #1) the opponent cast Haste on the Minotaurs.. as a result, on turn 2, since my hero's power was 1, it all wore off and I decided to be clever: on the 5 Centaurs (the remaining survivors after the Minotaur attack) and Dendroids I cast Bless (their speed was 9, same as the 4 remaining Minotaurs) but lo and behold, the opponent, with power 1 or 2, casts Magic Arrow, kills 5 Centaurs, and breaks into the elves, then the elves can't do anything, i.e. shoot the 20 Medusae, and get bashed by them too.. as a result, the opponent retreats, buying back those Medusae and a bunch of Troglodytes.. I pursue with 1 angel, 33 elves, 6 Unicorns, 6 Dendroids and enter the Dungeon after a day (skipping a turn).. the opponent attacks me.. this time he had 33 Medusae, 24 Evil Eyes, 8 Minotaurs (his castle turned out to be right next to the Dungeon) and also the opponent had mass Slow.. then my doom came, I get smashed against the opponent, killing almost nothing (I run away without buying back, having lost everything - he simply isn't there). I buy back in my main and start realizing that by 137 I only have 13 Pegasi, although the opponent didn't come at me.. I sold resources, bought growth + brought elves from external dwellings.. Later I discovered 2 Wyvern nests near the castle (I already saw one, and the second was nearby but the map wasn't uncovered), as a result over a few days by 142-43 I take the Wyverns and money (crypts, guarded chests) and go right and up (not down to the opponent), while I have a chain set up so that I can pass through and capture the opponent's castle if he doesn't kill the chain's end and moves away from the castle.. and lo and behold, on 147 the opponent moves away from the castle to take the Dragon Wing Tabard and Dragonbone Necklace guarded by 50-99 Fire Elementals, skipping a turn the opponent didn't realize what I would do.. I passed through - attacked his main while my main hero attacked some chumps, ran away and bought back in his main, immediately sold resources, bought 10 Minotaurs + took 3 nearby external dwellings (all become upgraded) + 8 Medusae and sit tight.. the opponent didn't think long and went to my castle from above.. the next turn he would take my main, but I, using the same scheme, having bought up the newly appeared money in my main Rampart, passed through to Rampart, ran away with Moner and bought back in it.. waiting for the opponent.. in short, I guerrilla'd a few times, as a result the opponent's nerves gave out and he attacked me in the castle and lost
approximate stats at end of game heroes 15-9-3-3 MONER 8-15-9-9 shakti

PS
I was lucky that the opponent only had level 1 Magic Arrow from magic, otherwise he could have beaten me by shooting me with 90 mana

A question arose here, http://ru.twitch.tv/twaryna/b/324250718, a recorded stream of twaryna vs hunter98, at the 46-minute mark, twaryna attacks the snipers. How did the Pegasus units start moving further than the tactic allows? Was it by pressing the "A" button and then pressing it again?

I noticed this too; is it a bug?
