Started the day before yesterday, opp took 111, then my power went out, so the game was postponed, finished today.
Nice start, Gosh with 3 stacks, a lot of meat came in, a stable near town, on 112 150 skeletons, immediately got offense. Broke a Dragon Fly Hive for 100+ Centaurs, managed to crab a little at the end of the fight, and took one hit from a full stack. Oh well. Hive 50+, not touching it.
113 - external market, got earth. Broke greater basilisks for a Pandora's box, broke it poorly, -20 skels. Got 50 zombies. More than half the spawn turns out to be quite inconveniently located, off-road, and one of the villages is blocked. Scouted a Guardian Object, titans and greater minotaurs, take your pick.
114 - took a secondary dungeon, refilling mana. Found a Griffin Conservatory not far from the road, level 3-4. Sandro took the shield +4 and went around for a second secondary, a Citadel.
115 - parked Gosh at the Dragon Fly Hive, nothing else interesting.
116 - hit it, +8 Wyverns. Then ring of speed for 80 harpies, a prison with someone and another hive for 8 Wyverns behind a hundred orcs. 200 skeletons.
117 - Sandro hits a behemoth dwelling, just a mini. Realize Gosh is out of mana again because I didn't think to set up a vortex immediately. Went back for double mana, running to the Conservatory.
121 - have 300 bones, broke the Conservatory, level 3.
122 - Gosh crashed into the stable and ran to the Guardian Object. Took the helm +5. Pyr clears distant hives, first one for 45 monks with Grandmaster Sorcery, killed a Wyvern. But the hive is max, gave up 20 zombies. Got armor.
123 - last hive, for 6 Wyverns, behind a horde of eyes, no losses here. Then for some reason I go at Crellion on genies for a Pandora's box, and thoughtlessly hit angels. 201 damage from retaliation... An idiot? An idiot. Empty Pandora's box.
Take the Guardian Object, at some point misjudge a tile, a full stack of minotaurs crashes into the skels. Total -66. But got Pathfinding. Same turn, prison with Rion level 10, shield +5, sp +10, Pandora's box for 25 greater demons. Fought terribly, wasted all my mana, so didn't go to the opp.
124 - took the center Inferno. Built a Tavern instead of a Mage Guild)) As usual) But revealed a bunch of goodies near town, though surrounded by black dragons)
125 - break through 9 black dragons for wings and a mace +5. Then take a level-2 Dragon Utopia, gives a chalice, ring of life, and boots with 15% resistance. Nobody to fight, and need to refill mana. Pyr takes a Pandora's box for 10k gold and hits a level-3 Dragon Utopia, surrenders sandals, water book, and red orb. But the skeleton stack is heavily thinned, only 200 left. Stayed in the red orb, as I revealed one of the opp's heroes by scouting near the Guardian Object.
126 - Kyrre breaks the Guardian Object, but can't reach me. Bring up 65 skels and hit her with Gosh, no mana but with red orb, surrender follows. Thanks for the game!

Started the day before yesterday, the opponent took 111, then my power went out, so the game was postponed; finished it today.
Nice start, Gosh with 3 stacks, a lot of meat came in, a Stable under the town, 150 skeletons on 112, immediately got Offense. Broke the Dragon Fly Hive for 100+ Centaurs, farmed a few kills at the end of the fight, and took one hit from a full stack. Ah well. Hive 50+, not going in.
113 - external market, got Earth. Broke the Greater Basilisks for a Pandora's Box, broke it poorly, -20 skeles. Got 50 zombies. Over half the respawn turned out to be quite inconveniently placed, across rough terrain, and one of the villages is blocked. Scouted the GO, Titans and Greater Minotaurs, choose whichever.
114 - took a secondary Dungeon, replenishing mana. Found a Griffin Conservatory not far from the road, tier 3-4. Sandro took a +4 Shield and bypassed the second secondary, the Citadel.
115 - set Gosh on the Dragon Fly Hive, nothing else interesting.
116 - attacked it, +8 Wyverns. Then a Ring of Speed for 80 Harpies, a prison with someone, and another Hive with 8 Wyverns for a hundred Orcs. 200 skeletons.
117 - attacked Sandro's Faction Dwelling, just a mini. Realize Gosh is out of mana again because I didn't think to set up the Whirlpool right away. Went back for double mana, running to the Conservatory.
121 - have 300 bones, broke the Conservatory, tier 3.
122 - crashed Gosh into the Stable and ran to the GO. Took a +5 Helm. Pyr breaks the far Hives, the first one for 45 Monks with Griffin Statue, killed a Wyvern. The Hive is max, gave up 20 zombies. Got Armor.
123 - last Hive, of 6 Wyverns, for a horde of Eyes, no losses here. Then for some reason attacked Crellion's Genies for a Pandora, and carelessly attacked Angels. Took 201 damage in return... Idiot? Idiot. Empty Pandora.
Attacked the GO, misjudged a tile at one point, a full stack of Minotaurs crashed into the skeles. Total -66. But got Pathfinding. Same turn, prison with Rion level 10, +5 Shield, +10 Spellpower, a Pandora for 25 Greater Demons. Fought horribly, wasted all mana, so didn't go to the opponent.
124 - took the Inferno center. Built a Tavern instead of the Mage Guild)) As always) But revealed a bunch of goodies near the town, though surrounded by Black Dragons)
125 - broke through 9 Black Dragons for Wings and a +5 Club. Then took a double Dragon Utopia, got a Chalice, Ring of Life, and Boots of 15% Resistance. Nothing to fight to level up, and need to refill mana. Pyr takes a Pandora for 10k gold and hits a triple Dragon Utopia, gave Sandals, Water Book, and a Red Orb. But the skeleton stack is heavily thinned, only 200 left. Stayed in the Red Orb because I scouted one of the opponent's heroes at the GO.
126 - Kyrre breaks the GO, but doesn't reach me. Bring up 65 skeletons and attack her with Gosh, no mana but with a Red Orb, she surrenders. Thanks for the game!

There was one last rest left, I didn't take it, although I could have risked it since the layout was mediocre. At the start, 10 Elves and a hero with a Ballista, nothing particularly tasty, a few Pandora Boxes, a couple of hives, and an external Dragon dwelling, could have been worse. On 117 I took the external Dragon dwelling, the guard was only 25 Grands and Dragons in the fort. On the second day I scouted almost the entire respawn, but didn't find a single Griffin Conservatory, in short nothing that would help take the home Dragon Utopia and upgrade the dragons; I took a Pandora for 20 Dendroids for 20 Scorpicores and a couple more Pandoras. On 126 I broke the GO with Nagas and was 1 tile short of reaching Pyr with the army, but the stats were a tier higher and he had the Red Orb, plus there was money for ransom, so I had no chance anyway.
Thanks for the game!

10.09.2012 theShevanesian (blue, random, Dungeon, Gunnar) def marajan (red, random, Inferno, Pyra) 8MM6A 132

Manticore gave up its lair, Gunnar found boots. The opponent was having a hard time and surrendered. Thanks for the game!

10.09.2012 Yourdestiny (blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) def 7z (red, Fortress, Wystan, Wystan) Balance (m) 124

a decent respawn, ore only behind the devils.
First week, cavalry in the citadel and the Minotaur minimum.
At the end of the first week, the opponent reaches Necropolis, one zone away from me, and attacks Mephala. We trade his lizardmen for my angel, and the opponent buys them back. I take Necropolis, bringing up reinforcements with a chain.
On the second week, the opponent brings wyverns to Wystan and reclaims Necropolis, then builds a citadel. Taking Necro back is problematic, because I only have 7 upgraded pegasi, 5 unicorns, and Grand Elves. But I see the Minotaur minimum, which has been built, and, forgetting about Necropolis where Wystan remains, I fly to his town and capture it.
124, a surrender. Thank you very much for the game — close, tense, interesting, and not too long.)

Thanks for the game. I messed up a perfect setup because I haven't played in a while. Well, that's why I decided to warm up. :)

10.09.2012 Maretti (blue, castle, caitlin, clavius) def Nestor86 (red, tower, torosar) 133 on jebus

Got a good groupe of necros and just managed to get over 1k skells for main battle. Ended up with clavius with perfect skills and 25 22 30 18 with earth book and 7 aas, 20 champs, 80 wyvs and 1 k skells. So wasnt really close in the end. Thanks for playing.

11.09.12 Sanin (Blue, Tower, Torosar, Neela) def Tootsie Pie (Red, Castle, Valeska, Nagash) 8mm6a 314

Well, we started on Saturday, finished on Tuesday, it was a drawn-out game.
The respawn gave a large, rich zone, I spread out in all directions. There are two external dwellings of gremlins, both far away, an external dwelling of mages behind a block, but two Griffin Conservatories along the way. There is no road to the computer, but a one-way portal on the native snow. At the end of the week, I found the entrance to it; from it, a road leads to a portal to the computer, but I didn't have time to go there. I took a village in the central treasure zone, looked at the external dwelling of angels, turned around, and ran back. On day 117, I took a level 20 dwarf dwelling, nagas are built in the citadel, plenty of money.

On day 121, I immediately upgrade the nagas, Neela takes the Conservatory-1 near the castle and expertises Earth Magic, then I clear a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, max out Scholarship, and get Wisdom. Neela sets off to take the Conservatory-three. At the end of the week in the central treasure zone, I took a sword +2/+2, a Cape of Velocity, and an external dwelling of angels. Nearby was a blue teleport; the opponent appears from it. Giants at home in the castle.

On day 131, the opponent ran off somewhere, I recruit 200 gremlins, 18 mages, 8 nagas, and 6 angels, kill two heroes, but I'm 1 movement point short of the third, who was carrying horses to the stables (or from the stables). The opponent has Necromancy and peasant external dwellings... I could have rushed, but he already has three castles, and while I chase him, it's unknown how much and what he'll gather, so after taking the Pandora's Box for 1 level from the opponent's respawn, I head in the other direction. I take an external dwelling of Wizards and exit into a dead-end treasure zone. It's sandy there, I don't want to go too deep, so I take a Pandora's Box for 10k experience and a Ring of Speed near the entrance. I don't have enough money, so I decide to disband and go home. Using Fafner along the army's return path, I took a max-level Naga Bank, losing one naga. Neela went into the green portal without a road with 3 genies and 3 giants, so as not to drag angels with a movement penalty. Meanwhile, the heroes in the depths of the respawn take a dwarf dwelling and a medusa dwelling.

On day 141, I find an exit to a corner treasure zone behind Magogs, I decide to wait for the angels. Meanwhile, Green with Efreets bursts through the portal, exits through a one-way portal, and makes a clever move, turning into the central treasure zone instead of into my respawn. On day 143, I capture the Inferno computer's castle; he has two devils there, and a Capitol... And 1 devil, 6 pits, and 17 gogs are unrecruited. So, he built devils in the castle on the third week, wow. And with a Capitol too. His main hero takes my village in the central treasure zone and (what a twist!) goes to Red. Neela, meanwhile, runs to the corner treasure zone, I take a Pandora's Box for 5 levels, but of course Wisdom isn't maxed out... I capture a swamp village and see a Dragon Utopia. On day 147, with a delivery of gargoyles, I enter it; they give me the Admiral's Hat and other junk. Skills, by the way, are decided: Air Magic, Logistics, Attack, and Ranged

On day 211, I see a Ring of Life (which I still have to reach) in this treasure zone and make the decisive decision to solemnly start the demon factory. I deliver meat and 12 pits, and off it goes... And right there, a Pandora's Box with 20 pit fiends... Soon I find a Flask +2. I enter the second Dragon Utopia, taking pits and 100 gremlins with me; the dragons attacked the pits, killing four. In the Dragon Utopia, they gave me Boots of Resistance and a Thunder Helmet. By the end of the week, I emerged from this treasure zone with a hundred demons.

On day 221, Red mercilessly deals with Green, snatching his village in the central treasure zone (which was once mine); Nagash sits there on an angel. Well, I think, time to give back the capital... I set up a chain to have time to upgrade the Titans and transport them out to the green portal in one day. However, Nagash doesn't come for me, which gives me the chance that day to use Neela to clear two piles of sulfur, build a Mage Guild level 5 (the library was already there), and see Dimension Door and Fly there. Neela teleports there and replenishes mana. Then I teleport to the corner village and Dimension Door from there to the adjacent zone, where I had scouted a Dragon Utopia. There they gave decent stat boosts, a Book of Air Magic, and Wings. I scouted around there for another three days, only finding a Conservatory-1.

On day 231, Nagash finally flies towards me at full speed, clattering hooves on the paved road. I can't make it back in time, and I don't want to. I move out the weekly growth and go down through the adjacent zone where I saw a library. I placed Solmyr in the castle with 50 golems, a scroll of Armageddon, and a Titan's Cuirass. The opponent has 15 angels and 1700 skeletons. The angels get a morale proc in the first round, leaving 11 golems... After Armageddon, 5 golems remain, the opponent's stacks of elves and archers die. Then the opponent didn't block the golems' exit and didn't manage to resurrect anyone except two angels... Neela, meanwhile, visits the library, and there's an arena there too, hurrah! - a well. Along the way, by the way, I Demonized some more; there are already 200 demons. And behind a mountain, I see another Dragon Utopia. In the Dragon Utopia, they gave a Shield +12. Nagash, not being a fool, also learned Dimension Door and Fly and headed for the same treasure zone where Neela was. Neela leaves from there; I transfer the demons to Inferno for an upgrade, build the upgrade for devils there too, and move out 7 upgraded ones. On day 236, I stand on the green portal, but it's not profitable to return my main hero now, and Nagash is not far off. I head to the central zone, reclaim my village, kill three of Red's heroes (there was a chain), and stand on the portal to Red's respawn. On day 237, I use heroes to reclaim my external dwelling of angels, and on the last movement point, Neela sits in the opponent's Castle, where Archangels are already built.

On day 241, so instead of a stack of 7 angels, we have a stack of 11 Archangels. I leave from there to the treasure zone where I took the Ring of Speed, jump to the adjacent treasure zone, there I drove off an enemy hero who was about to take the Boots, took the Shackles, and two Conservatories. Actually, I took the Conservatories so they wouldn't fall to the opponent, but the first one turned out to be a maximum-level one, so I had to dismiss a stack of 40 Archmages. Right there, I also found another entrance to a one-way portal. Nagash was hot on my heels, but I didn't want to fight without the Red Orb (which turned out to be in vain). And so I entered this one-way portal. It tossed me into the same treasure zone three times; on the fourth try, I finally returned to my native lands. On day 247, I retrieve my main hero and camp on the green portal.

Day 311! The third month! While Neela was jumping around the map, heroes found two Conservatories in the adjacent zone. Neela heads there; there turns out to be a third one too. But only 4 angels from three Conservatories. On day 314, Neela camped on the lava, next to a portal to an adjacent zone with a respawn. The opponent, near the central village, exposes two heroes; on one of them, I see Archangels. Neela reaches both; on the second, it turned out, there was a scroll of Town Portal. At this point, the opponent surrendered. Out of interest, we played out the finale, in which even with magic, Nagash had no chance, see the screenshots.

It certainly was. The map featured long roads that spanned half the map, ranged units, and [del]a slippery-handed medic[/del]. Therefore, starting from the second week, the old troops on the newly acquired Necropolis moved in one direction, the growth from the second Necropolis – in another, the Fiend with a ballista (a bad move – they got artillery, wisdom, and fire) in the third, and I was afraid to go to the center without half my troops. 127 - 220 skeletons. I tried to find something on my territory to counter the opponent's angels, but I only found 2 Hives on the third day, 137 - 380. On the fourth day, I found the first Consulate, and that's when I placed the angels – before that, the army and the banks didn't interact, and the chains didn't work due to the distance of almost a week. 500+ skeletons, but they had nothing to do. There were some buggy paths to the computers, so I didn't go to the opponent until day 221 – the paths were incomplete, and by that time, I managed to combine my forces. I played mindlessly, without analyzing the map, and made some silly mistakes – before destroying 50+ zombies with a ballista and fairies, I bought 2 more zombies from a hidden location. During the castle siege, after being hit by Armageddon, instead of reinforcing the gates (I had resurrection), I tried to run away from a group of golems. I took the long-awaited scroll of the portal and, for some reason, moved it to the center, where the opponent was nearby – and that's where they ambushed me. I decided not to continue, although the result was clear by day 127.
Thank you to my opponent for their patience with me, the connection, and the game, which only loaded and crashed frequently for me. And for the auto-saves – I've lost count of how many there were. It was probably due to accidental clicks.

Got a good group of necros and just managed to get over 1k skeletons for the main battle. Ended up with Clavius with perfect skills and 25 22 30 18 with earth book and 7 aas, 20 champs, 80 wyvs and 1k skells. So it wasn't really close in the end. Thanks for playing.

September 10, 2012. It started so well for me). I asked a champion to play with me, and we both chose our favorite castles.
On turn 1, I took a giant lair + giants in the fort. I noticed 5 can openers + 2 hives.
+ On turn 114, I took Pandora with 10k experience. Then, on turn 121-7, I bought troops together with the lair, took Pandora + 15k gold, 2 can openers + 5 angels. I wanted to break through to the road that leads to the Guardian's Gate, but there was NO way through!)+ On turn 124, I see that my opponent already has archers! I'm a little nervous). I break through with my main hero, transfer troops along the chain, it took 2-3 days. On turn 131, I go to the Guardian's Gate, ignoring my can openers, 2 of which are in a bad position! I break through the Guardian's Gate, I see my opponent there on turn 133, 1050 skeletons, and this guy is playing as humans!!))+80 wyvs + awesome stats. He attacks, and then... GG. In conclusion, what I want to say is, WHERE ARE THE TITAN PLAYERS ON THIS SITE???? I want to see how to play this race properly!
Maretti, thanks for the game, good luck in the tournament)http://forum.heroesworld.ru/images/smilies/eek.gif

Week 1
Valeska appears in the tavern with 3 stacks of archers. Scouting the area, gathering resources, and shooting down neutral creatures. I capture my secondary home Castle. Building a Hippodrome and a Stronghold.
Week 2
Buying troops (Cavalry, Archers, Halberdiers), destroying the minimum Conservatory with a large stack. Scouting. I capture my second home Castle, gathering resources. All buildings that generate gold are being built, except for the Capitol.
Week 3
I buy troops and give them to Valeska. Having gathered what she needs, she moves to the opponent's snowy territory, visiting the University and learning the Attack and Logistics skills. The opponent rushed to the Guardian Order and was defeated (the Guardian Order consisted of 50-99 ultra Psychics or (standing nearby) 50-99 Cavalry).

Thank you very much for the game!:smile01:

We had exits close to each other but I came first. Desert wasnt great but it had enough.
