Thanks for the game.
P.S. Ranked games are definitely interesting, but where can I find information on how the rating is calculated and the ranking itself?

My computers: Conflux, Dungeon, Necropolis
Opponent's computers: Inferno, Castle, Fortress

111. 5 heroes total, 2 of them with +350, and one more like that in the tavern. Found a passage to Conflux, upgrade Centaurs, run there.
112. The road to Conflux is blocked by Wolf Raiders for a Cloak +2+2 and Orcs for a chest and a scroll. I break through the wolves at the cost of a few Pixies and 1 Air Elemental, don't fight the Orcs (I'll have to fight them on the way back anyway — otherwise I can't get out). I kill the opponent's hero with 1 Air Elemental at the cost of 4 Centaurs. Maybe I shouldn't have broken through the passage last turn; maybe next turn I could have taken the opponent's town, hired a Mage there and killed the opponent with him.
The opponent kills the Fortress computer.
On his turn, the Elementalist computer breaks through the Orcs, takes the chest and scroll (surprisingly, he leaves the Cloak +2+2), kills my Scout.
113. Decided not to attack the computer's hero, but to take the empty town while he hasn't hired some Mage yet. There are Air Elementals + GM1 there. I didn't think to buy a spell book :noob: So I ran without it until week 3. At home I found a Griffin Conservatory for Ice Elementals.
The computer almost reached my capital and killed 1 more Scout.
114. I buy back the hero and finish off the computer at the cost of 11 Centaurs :( I head to the Dungeon respawn.
115. Picked up the Necklace of Swiftness, took the Dungeon without a fight (eyes in the Citadel + 1000). And again I carelessly approached with my Scout, the computer killed it.
116. Took the Vampire's Cloak.
Total money 20 gold, and the next day I need to build Griffins...
117. Traded 5000 on the market, built Griffins. Took Necropolis (rags + 1000), but have nothing to defend the Dungeon, and the computer takes it. At home Elves and Pegasi.
Lost another Scout to the Necropolis computer :(

121. Can't transfer the army to capture the Dungeon, so I finish off the Necropolis computer. At his respawn I find a Shield +4all guarded by a horde of Marksmen.
The Dungeon computer kills my Scout again! But the internet cuts out, and upon restart the computer runs past :)
122. Kill the Dungeon computer. No more computers on my half of the map. Period.
124. A Scout with 4 Griffins takes a Pandora's Box for 10K experience. Griffins are passed along the chain, I go past the Dungeon to the corner respawn, +4 Wyverns. I'm 1 tile short of reaching the village.
The opponent finishes off his last computer.
125. Village (Tower). Hives +12 and +8 Wyverns (one got eaten). Tant expertises Earth.
126. Town Portal scroll. Pandoras with 35 Stone Golems and 15K experience (Kyrre gets it), -1 Wyvern. Gloves of the Horseman, external dwelling of Giants (completely unnecessary).
127. Speaker's Hat (due to anti-morale -4 Wyverns on the guard) +8 Wyverns, +4 Wyverns, I lost another Wyvern, total 29. Found a Dragon Utopia. Also took out a Cyclops stack — maximum — didn't go for it.
In Conflux +town.

131. Anti-morale from using non-native units got a bit annoying, and I decided to build a Portal of Summoning (!) to hire Pixies from the external dwelling. But no, the Portal has a Giant :)
Took the 3-stack Dragon Utopia (besides losses from Golems and Gargoyles, I lost 200 Skeletons — for some reason I thought I couldn't use Animate Dead. However, the remaining 100 sat in the town for the rest of the game without leaving). Gave +3all, Sentinel's Shield, Armor +4+4 Atk/Def, Golden Bow. Kyrre finds Wings guarded by a horde of Fanatics. Alas, he still doesn't have a spell book :( I buy growth with the money from the Utopia.
132. +8 Wyverns. I bring up the growth, and the Fanatics give up the Wings without a fight when they see my army.
133. Got +1 more speed. +6 Wyverns. Tant has essentially been standing still for two days.
134. Tant used Dimension Door somewhere through the walls (seems like to the center). Bought Boots of Speed at the Black Market.
136. Finally got GM4 and passed the Boots to Tant, assembled the Legion Statue. Kyrre headed to the corner respawn past Conflux and hit a block.
137. Tant catches up to Kyrre, she takes the Fortress village and gets Advanced Earth.
You could say Kyrre reclaimed her status as main hero.

141 (I think). Scout takes a Pandora's Box for level 5 magic.
142. Upgraded Wyverns, ran out of money. Took a Dragon Utopia, bought some of the growth (what I could). Barely broke through the GO to the center, -7 Psychos.
143. Kyrre runs through the center, breaks the maximum Dragon Utopia.
144. Saw the opponent behind a mountain, Town Portaled home and flew to him.
Crag Hack attacks himself with 18 Angels and a Ballista.
I cast Berserk on the Angels, they break the Ballista, morale, Haste. The Angels kill 20 Wyverns, 10 die from retaliation. Wyverns finish off the Angels. GG.

Thanks for the game!

I confirm.

111 gold was enough for 5 heroes, wolves in the town. Hired orcs, there were 6 more in the tavern among the neutrals, bought them out. Preliminary scouting revealed a nearby swamp respawn, among the neutrals there's Christian with a ballista.

112 Crag Hack, boosted on wolves, runs a bit ahead, a neutral catches up, takes the army and kills the only hero - Tazar, fell without losses, returned the army to Crag, who takes the swamp (pink is eliminated), then picks up the gloves, guarded by a small lot of griffins with a large stack. Crag stayed at the swamp without a speed boost.

114 buy the first and last hero +350

115 Crag stood on the castle's respawn, broke through the guards, but the path was blocked by a lot of large gremlins. Decided to wait, scouted a neutral - not dangerous. 7 heroes

115-116 between turns, the main stack of the castle pops out of nowhere and breaks Crag, he's unboosted but couldn't put up resistance, lost with 4 orcs (had no gold at all).

116, the neutral that had been boosting Crag receives 4 orcs and 3 rocs through a chain, and heads for the castle's respawn, hoping to snatch the town for free

116-117 the computer broke the nearest neutral and headed for my town (why, it probably didn't know itself)

117 Take the castle with Clavius, built 1-4 without upgrades but with a citadel. Left single orcs, ran to the stables, built a chain to the main town.

121 The computer blindly rushed past all neutrals to the capital, where the citadel awaited it, obviously no chance. Crag upgraded the birds and ran into the underground to pressure Inferno. Stood with a boost with 5 birds, stables + gloves + basic log, should be enough.

121-122 the main stack of the castle suicided on the capital, near the castle the last neutral emerged from the darkness, I put out singles, the citadel handled it

122, take Inferno and stay there with 5 birds, foolishly, and also had no gold, didn't take any purse. On 122-123 the main stack of the last computer arrived and killed 3 of my 5 birds.

123, Crag merges into the castle, planned to take 2+2 crypts in the castle's and home zones. No gold, but I boosted the neutrals with snakes on turn 13, on 124 only one neutral was without a bird

124 and 125 - Crag breaks crypts, the neutrals' activities are unclear. Were gathering resources.

126 opened a maxi-crypt and a mini-hell, total income became 10k. Built hydras. In the castle 1-5, hoping Crag would uncover a Pandora's box and there would be gold. Guard - a large horde of nomads, army: 3 storm, 18 archers, 14 orcs, 30 hounds and single goblins. A turn earlier, Crag Hack had learned tactics, so I decided to attack, though I could have retreated. Stats 9-2-4-1 (bone armor on, but Crag still without a spell book). In the tavern Kiryukha was spotted with 12 SP. Got wary.

127 Decided to build angels, fought a lot with neutrals, traded, gold down to zero, nothing to buy, but hoped to open the Griffin Conservatory that week (turned out to be a triple) and run to the treasure zone. In the swamp I spotted Glyph, needed at the hut on the Castle's respawn. Decided to have Crag Hack merge into the swamp, set up a chain.

131 Traded for gold, bought 3 angels, passed the angels to Crag through a chain of almost all heroes, broke a pack of black horses, picked up Glyph, passed the angels to a neutral and merged into the Castle, from there - to the hut.

132, 133 and 134
In the hut they gave 15k experience, I open the Griffin Conservatory. On Inferno's respawn I spotted another conservatory, decided to go there. Such "haste" was justified: in the tavern Tant was visible with 21 defense, other skills about 1.5-2 times lower.

135 Opened the conservatory, spotted another one. Turned out to be 2+1, angels became 9. Ran to the treasure zone.

136 in the treasure zone, lying around in boxes on the way was a purse, 60 castle bowmen and 30 monks. On 137 they slowed me down significantly

137 Lucky moment - found two external angel dwellings in the treasure zone. Colored both, bought out. In the tavern Kira was visible: 20-29-12-8. Crag: 13-5-9-2

141 Bought 2 more angels, ran to the village.

142 Executed a chain, first time in my gaming practice: 10 heroes were involved. First Crag gives the angels to a hero, he takes them, runs to the village. In the village another hero is hired, angels are passed to him and transferred via chain to the next neutral. Neutral to the next, next to town, a new one is hired there, runs again and so on to the Castle's respawn, where Crag Hack merged. Total 10 heroes, not counting Crag.

143 The opponent apparently had a viewing orb, and I was spotted on the sandy treasure zone. Passed all angels to Crag + bought 4 in town, total became 17. On the way opened a triple Griffin Conservatory and spotted a Dragon Utopia. Went to open it, neutrals delivered purses. By 144 I was out of neutrals with purses, opened the Dragon Utopia with only angels, result -2, but the prize was worth it - breastplate +4+4, helmet +6 everything and sword +5 everything.

In the end I realized this setup was GG, I couldn't escape from Kyre with flight, Town Portal naturally wasn't there. Attacked.

Kyre 35-28-23-20
Crag 29-21-18-14

The efreets decided the outcome, although the opponent for some reason removed the cloak +2 speed, could have simply denied the angels a turn.

Many thanks for the game! I'll know how not to play. :-)

De facto, the loss of tempo had a serious impact. A few tactical mistakes also occurred, no major blunders, well, except for the surprise from the castle main stack on 116. In the entire game I uncovered only 1 (!) beehive. In that regard, I was dealt a poor hand, while the opponent collected plenty, came out with 50+ from the first treasure zone. There was enough purse in the towns, took Inferno to cut some goats, but unfortunately, never got around to it, was constantly out of gold. A mistake to build the bears, definitely, never used them all game, but was sitting without gold and resources. But who knew, as they say. Literally 2 days after the feedback book - and the game would have changed radically, Crag gets a box with air magic, flies off to break Dragon Utopias. Along the way was a +4 Griffin Conservatory, further in Dragon Utopias gave a red orb, +3 everything, swift boots, cloak +2 speed, shield +4 everything, sandals. (Only missing the breastplate for the set :-) )

Collected plenty of gold, tons of neutrals, would have cut almost immediately about 200 goats, upgraded them, and, I think, the efreets would have wept, especially since the opponent had no gold at all.
Such are things.

On the first week, while pushing toward the secondary town, there was a block of many mages for Pandora's box; I attacked and immediately thought it was game over since it turned out to be 45 with an upgraded stack, but I managed to win the battle. I lost my entire army from the first week, including 2 scorpions, leaving only 60 troglodytes ((...there was one hope that Pandora's box would give troops....and so it did, it gave 15 upgraded mages, which allowed me to continue properly). At the end of the game, underestimating my own strength (although it would have been enough), I wore down the opponent by doing 2 DD per day and slowly leveling up on his territory. In the end, he surrendered himself.
Thanks for the game.

On the first [week], while pushing toward the secondary [town], there was a block of many mages for Pandora's box; I attacked and immediately thought it was game over since it turned out to be 45 with an upgraded stack, but I managed to win the battle. I lost my entire army from the first week, including 2 scorpions, only 60 troglodytes remained ((...there was one hope that Pandora's box would give troops....and so it did, they gave 15 upgraded mages, which allowed me to continue normally). At the end of the game, underestimating my own strength (although it would have been enough), I wore down the opponent by making 2 DD per day and slowly leveling up on his territory. In the end, he surrendered himself.
Thanks for the game.
It happened. At first, the opp was fighting off the red color with hands and feet :D , it turned out he had 3 roads (one of them to the double), I had one. There were many cons, but small ones; in the Dragon Utopia there was a water book, so the game against control didn't work out :( Thanks for the game.

Confirmed, I initially tried to reach the Necropolis, killed one of the guards, but the second one wouldn't let me pass. I turned around to defend my own base and gather gold, but the group of lizards turned out to be too strong for the weak artifact and passage. Thanks for the game.

Has money. Start is normal. In the army: 85 Troglodytes and 14 Evil Eyes. I break 30 Ogres for boots, then 8 Cyclops Kings for the camp... There are external dwellings of Trolls and Minotaurs... On the second week I took out 2 Dragon Fly Hives (12+8) and then took out a Medusa dwelling for 8 and a Naga Bank for 4 with upgraded ones... All with losses of only weak troops... Then another 2 Dragon Fly Hives and I attack the Devils for K.V... Got a bit chopped up there... Then I teleport and grab the Rampart of the gray player... The main hero got defeated and stopped to cast Dimension Door to the red player... On 1.3.2 a wizard suddenly arrived... and a surrender follows.

I completely struggled and as is typical on 8xm8 it gave me a tiny patch of land meter by meter without money but with an external dwelling of gnolls! in 2 weeks I broke through to 2 computers, one of which was already in the opponent's hands, there was no question of any Dragon Fly Hives with such successes, I tried to flee and go after the Dragon Fly Hives with the growth, but they immediately took out that very growth, thanks for the game.

In the first generation, the opponent crashed at 114 and asked for an auto-win. I suggested he take a rest at 113 and start over (my own layout wasn't great either).

In the second, Mephala and Claudius were in the tavern immediately. I went down with Claudius, there was a +4 chain; basically, there's just so much to play through here. The opponent informs me that he has a "block" — 20-49 lizards. I didn't mind clearing them myself for him; losses amounted to 10 gnolls (from a swampy loser). There is no mood left to play, but we agreed to play for a report, so I'm writing the report....

The Guardian of Order was located on a rough path between our starting locations, and there was no road... therefore, the first Fort Battle took place at the end of the second week, and I won it, as well as the last one.
Thank you for the game.
