16.12.12. Pit for LM (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def TERM (blue, Conflux, random Kalt, Nagash), balance, 137.
Started immediately, without restarts.
111 - Shakti with two stacks, harpies built, immediately upgrade them for speed. Roads are fast, lots of gold - 7 heroes. Castle has a level-2 Griffin Conservatory. Starting village revealed, unguarded. There is one road to the secondary, where a stable is visible by the road. Pyre gave a cannon. Shakti immediately gets armor.
112 - starting village, buyout, upgrade Troglodytes, broke through to the secondary, which turned out to be a swamp.
113 - take the secondary, Pandora's Box for 5k experience behind 10 Vampire Lords. Entire respawn scouted, from hidden caches only Troglodytes.
114 - crypt for 2.5k, running home. Attack and Armor expert.
115 - buy a spell book at home, few useful spells, nothing much except Bloodlust. No scrolls either, so the Conservatory was a bit tricky. Lost 40 Troglodytes and squeezed through Medusas and Lizardmen. Got Mysticism shoved in. Though later it turned out that wasn't so bad.
116 - clearing the respawn, another Pandora's Box for 5k experience, mini Dwarf Cottage. Got Air. Passage to the center found.
117 - Shield +4 and Shakti finally decides to skip a turn near the Monks. Probably could have taken them anyway, but by day 121 there were 50+, so risky. Plus there was a stable right behind them, so would have had to sleep on it anyway, not many moves lost. Built Manticores in the citadel, in the starting village - a portal with Troglodytes, two town halls.
121 - buy Manticores, Troglodytes, some Harpies, Monks go down very easily. From the lookout tower I see a rather unpleasant path to a Necropolis town across rocks.
122 - arena +2.
123 - Valeska takes a castle, Galtran is hired there with two stacks, defeats a horde of Nomads for a Sword +2+2. In a Sunken Ship I find a ring for morale and luck. Shakti runs to the second town, finally gets +1 Knowledge.
124 - second Necropolis town, set up a lookout tower nearby. A mega-tasty treasure zone on lava is revealed, near the town I pick up Gloves and Armor +3 Spell Power. Shakti runs into the desert, but not quite correctly. I kept waiting for the opponent to exit the portal and tried at all costs to run toward the Wyverns, so I left behind a Cloak +2+2 for magic and a Sword +3. The latter, however, was needed by neither me nor him.
125 - reach the entrance to the treasure zone. The guard - very easy, 100+ regular Dendroids.
126 - and at the entrance there are Boots lying! The middle of the second week was devoted, among other things, to finding Haste for Expert Air. Collected all scrolls, visited all chapels, built all guilds - and only in the last, fifth one, was the spell finally given. Through literate heroes, Nila delivered the necessary Wisdom to Shakti.
127 - first Hive, +6 Wyverns. Opponent is in no rush to the center.
131 - opponent stopped at their GO, while I managed to send the growth to Shakti via a long chain. Bought almost everything except some Eyes and Medusas, largely thanks to a Naga Bank for 6k. Took two more Hives and a Gold Mine, where I sped up. Wyverns became 24.
132 - I see mass Hives. Took two, minimal ones.
133 - Nagash entered the center, but he's moving extremely slowly there - apparently no Logistics, no Stables, no artifacts. And he's ramping up on Skeletons. Another 3 Hives, total - 48.
134 - another 3 Hives, total - 70. One left. Found a lot of resources, decide to build a guild for an Implosion scroll.
135 - opponent captures the first central town. Meanwhile, I'm already leaving the treasure zone, grabbing a Cyclops Stockpile of 6 each as a final touch. In the last slot, Shakti finally gets Logistics (after Expert Cannon and basic Offense).
136 - I stop to ramp up at my GO. Nagash farms Skeletons.
137 - Shakti takes the central Necropolis with a very long move along a fast road, chase away a couple of red heroes, scout - the entire army is with Yog at zero. Buy Ivor, transfer artifacts to him, attack.
There - 600+ Skeletons, 50+ Air Elementals, 7 Birds, 3 Angels, 10 Psychos and bad morale. We have - 78 Wyverns, nearly 300 Troglodytes, some Eyes, 7 Manticores, 50 Harpies, 2 Angels. No fight happened, everything is obvious.
Also had a funny second week - Psycho growth +5.
Thank you for the game.

ahaha, will people soon start naming their children after my nickname?

When we started playing with Cobra and passwords, Valeнок told me in ICQ what a bad person you are... that's why I came up with such a password.

03.12.2012 GoD(Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def PReDS(Red, Inferno, Marius, Marius) 8mm6a 236
111 - 4 heroes, a scout hero brought 6 elves, there's a Tami castle guard, a stable and an elf dwelling under the castle, close exit through the green teleport to snow;
112 - broke through the teleport to snow - there's an experience stone and a crypt of interest, took the elf dwelling - 20 in total, still 4 heroes;
113 - took the crypt for 2500, upgraded 20 elves, Kyrre at the experience pillar, Tami broke through to mud and is slowly necromancing from 0, south of the elf dwelling a wood dwelling and a Dragon Fly Hive behind 50-99 gr. goats were discovered;
114 - Tami guesses the direction, dives into the teleport and lands exactly on the last moves into an empty Rampart with placed +1000, a Dragon Utopia behind 10-19 gr. psychos is revealed near the teleport, Kyrre on the snow found 2 exits - to the metro behind 20-49 gr. gargoyles and to a one-way path behind 20-49 archers;
115 - Tami necromanced a bit, got Earth magic and sat back in the bot's Rampart to receive the brown guests with a built Citadel, tight on money;
116 - killed one "colorful", he, the rascal, wasted 20 bones with his shooters, returned to mud - there's a crypt, a peasant dwelling (too bad no necromancy) and an exit to rocks to a village;
117 - on the comp's respawn 4 crypts are revealed, Tami runs there, home 1-6 in the Citadel, in the secondary 1-3 in the Citadel, money 12 kopeks, where to get for buying out, still unknown;
121 - bought 2 heroes - native (Melodia) with free elves and Nagash, Tami clears the comp's respawn, Kyrre visited the stables, plans to run to the metro on snow;
122 - plans change, Kyrre runs to the 50-99 gr. goats under the capital to take the Dragon Fly Hive, Tami necromanced a bit and the army went to drink and party in the capital, because tomorrow we need to deal with the goats;
123 - Kyrre takes the Dragon Fly Hive for 8, army back through the chain to Tami, she takes a Dwarf dwelling for 100 dwarves, the scout hero on snow far around found a Dragon Fly Hive behind diamond ones and 2 exits to the native wasteland;
124 - Kyrre finally broke into the metro and finally got Earth magic, Tami sits in the secondary and replenishes mana;
125 - Kyrre a box for 10k experience, levels up to expert Defense, then takes an Inferno village, standing before the border between zones, Tami runs to the rocks zone;
126 - Kyrre broke through the passage and revealed a Dragon Utopia behind gr. goats, Tami reached the rocks, only managed to approach the Dwarf dwelling, native village on rocks will be;
127 - Kyrre runs around the level-up structures, next turn the overview will open, Tami stands before the Dragon Fly Hive, finally Masha is revealed on a pair of angels, home Castle, secondary - horses in Citadel, no idea how I'll buy out...;
131 - on his turn Orange chases Kyrre into the tavern, Tami takes the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 and the native village, sits and replenishes mana, Kyrre runs on the secondary respawn to level up Earth magic to expert for the Dragon Utopia, Masha took a couple of steps in my direction and galloped back into the darkness;
132 - Kyrre stands on gr. pegasi before mobs for splitting, Tami raises bones, meanwhile taking a +3 shield, scout heroes clear 5 crypts with rogs for buying out, a chain stands to the Inferno village in the basement to take the Dragon Utopia, no blues visible;
133 - wanted to upgrade horses for the Dragon Utopia, but the chain didn't work out, Kyrre spends the night at a well 3 steps from the Dragon Utopia;
134 - Dragon Utopia taken with wings and two hp rings, as a result of cunning maneuvers on the spot, Kyrre spent the night 3 steps from the Dragon Utopia - stupidity...;
135 - part of the army stays with Kyrre, who takes the Orange Inferno, spends the night in the castle, Grands with bones and Centaurs are transferred to the rocks to Tami to increase the dead population;
136 - Kyrre on wings flies into the wasteland on the rocks south of Inferno, takes a max Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive for 6, 2 more Dragon Fly Hives visible, Kyrre has expert Earth, Archery, Defense, Logistics, advanced Scouting and basic Offense, 12 15 8 6(50);
137 - another 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 14 Wyverns, again spending the night near a Dragon Utopia, on the rocks the scout hero found another Dragon Fly Hive, Masha appeared;
141 - Masha takes my Inferno village and spends the night in it, and here's the main stupidity on my part - instead of attacking and shooting her down with 100 Grands and 65% to archery, I pin her there to use the growth on 142;
142 - Masha uses 2 Dimension Doors to avoid death - to say I'm surprised is an understatement, I run after her;
143 - run after her, my dear, take back the Conflux - there's an empty Dragon Utopia nearby, by the amount of bot's money I realize that after the Dragon Utopia Masha bought herself off from the bot, what a sly one))) Tami has been smoking blue Winston for 3 days waiting for the army=)), Kyrre spends the night in Conflux;
144 - Kyrre came to take the Dragon Utopia on mud, Tami ran out of smokes and the stall is already closed - she had to get down to business and take a mini Dragon Fly Hive;
145 - Dragon Utopia for 4/4 chest and 4/4 hat, with wings I fly over to the neighboring mud;
146 - on mud a Dragon Utopia is revealed, Gold Bow is beaten but not taken, a level three Griffin Conservatory is taken;
147 - Tami in artifact merchants finds the missing component for the Bow of the Sharpshooter - oh now the Grands will burn));
211 - finally a Dragon Utopia dropped - a vial for the Elixir - total heat, the only upsetting thing is that from control there are only wings, but I build a Mage Guild in the Rampart;
212 - blues through Dimension Door take away one of my Ramparts, Kyrre runs to reclaim what's hers;
213 - took back my castle, stood on the border of the grass respawn;
214 - teleported to rocks, doubled mana, approached the mud respawn, Tami crashed her army into Inferno to continue necromancing with an Inferno army, Tyrax broke through from Lava to the basement and revealed a Dragon Fly Hive with a Griffin Conservatory;
215 - took the Dungeon, in Mage Guild level 4 gave Town Portal, hurray! well, more fun, hip-hip hurray...;
216 - running to the center of the evil citadel, Tami took a mini Dragon Fly Hive and started slowly demon summoning, plenty of meat, Nagash bought himself out in Conflux and started hanging out with Pixies, skeletons flock in droves to the loud music;
217 - standing near Mordor, the fiery eye right before me;
221 - blues go berserk and take my home capital, I returned the courtesy, took a Dragon Utopia with КЗ, doubled mana and spent the night in the Dungeon;
222 - Kyryusha runs back to reclaim her Ramparts, Tami necromances and demon summons - a happy family;
223 - have 200 demons and 1k bones - not much, reclaimed one Rampart - spend the night there, lost Conflux;
224 - finally took the Dragon Fly Hive on the snow, which I revealed back in week 1, planning to go to native wasteland;
225 - nothing special, Kyrre in the wasteland in the basement, Tami necromances, reclaimed Conflux, but the turrets destroyed many bones, somewhere around 100;
226 - broke through 50-99 rogs for a box and hurray, level 5, also found 2 Dragon Utopias, took one for a +4 all stats shield and visited the Library, they took Conflux from me again and killed Nagash, sadness...;

231 - Tami through Town Portal and Dimension Door demon summons all available meat, reclaim the capital Rampart, spend the night in it with Kyrre;
232 - through rocks I fly over to Lava - there's a barbarian village and 3 Dragon Fly Hives visible, spawned 500 demons, still waiting for Masha in the zone of reach;
233 - blues revealed Monarchs, also need to think about that, building a Fort in the swamp village, Tami collects Dragon Fly Hives on Lava;
234 - Kyrre runs to the home wasteland for Gloves, as I'm running a bit weakly, upgraded 110 Monarchs;
235 - found Gloves and Boots, sitting at the low start in the swamp;
236 - Masha attacks the barbarian village on Lava and kills my Tami through untimely morale and luck, losing 4 angels in the process...sadness..., reclaim the barbarian village, killing a very good mage of the blues...seeing My Kyrre's purse and stats the blues surrender.

Thanks for the game!

I wanted to thin out Kirr with a well-planned Arcomage strategy, spending the night on the snake grounds, and then try to do something with the cursed armor and red orb, but at that point, +2 speed appeared, so it didn't work. There was nothing left to catch, so I surrendered.
Thanks for the games.

18.12.12. numOne (red, Inferno, Calh, Gundula) def Piterius (blue, Castle, Valeska, Kirry), 2SM4d(3), 137.

Both players got 2 secondary towns; the opponent painted theirs on the first turn, I only painted the Castle one. A road block prevented me from maneuvering properly, but I gained momentum on the second turn: plenty of money buildings, enhanced horn cutting, sword +6, 2 cons (3+2), several heroes leveling up at once, slotted GM4. Gundula happened to be running past — she learned Armageddon and TP — awesome! I could have replenished mana and gone for ГО, but I stalled a bit and chose the treasure zone in the basement — my own secondary town was there, by the way, already painted. I crashed hoping to buy back, but forgot that the tavern wasn't built there...:smile27:, had to buy back in the capital and on 127 catch +2 to CS in the Castle and near it, once again positioning for a fight.
On 131 another cons 3, treasure zone, Hive on 8, box with 15k exp. Shiva with exp scouting spotted 2 Dragon Utopias and the University — rushing there! Right then the opponent appears from the other side of the utopias. I take the 2-//zone, got a sword +5 to all, red orb, positioned near the second one, but Kirya snatched it right from under my nose. I attack her, just fought and killed 2 angels while losing 3, Piterius buys back... University, TP to capital, replenish mana, move slightly to mash some horns and take a Hive (4) off to the side. On 137 I am near ГО on greater ifrits, opponent flies over ГО, attacks and catches an Armageddon — ГГ.:smile51:

Thanks for the game!

It's a bit quiet here. Just a reminder that the deadline for the second round of the upper bracket and the first round of the lower bracket is December 24th, meaning there are 5 days left. And only 7 out of 16 matches have been played.

20.12.2012 Dimast (red Rampart Kyrre Pyre) def crazy (blue Necropolis Clavius) mininosta 123
On day 1 I broke through Conflux respawn, captured a prison with Paira there, and lit up the tavern, but the Castle was 2 turns away. I took fire from Conflux's archer and faeries with air elementals for almost 50 Centaurs in total. I wanted to take the rest, but earth magic came up anyway, and I have nika fens. GO Nagikwin, I decide to play, running around stat boosts, building up somehow. Lost here, lost there. Went to take Inferno, there were 3 heroes with Labetha there, they also beat me up. I ended the week with 3 Elves and 3 Pegasi, horses + psychs in the fort. On day 2 it went a bit more cheerfully — I placed fens, walled off the horses, but oppa (there were Angels placed on turn 1) — on the speed boost with an Angel killed a barbarian comp, and the scout hero went to take the Griffin Conservatory and died in it. Thanks for the game.

20.12.12 darkello (red, coupled, ERDAMON, Labnessa) def PReDS (blue, Inferno, Kalh, Clavius), 2SM4d(3), 126
So, I took maps 112 and 111... I started with the red color.
No air creatures were built! The road goes up and down... Up, there's immediately a block with 20-49 elven archers, and down, there are 17 archmages leading to a secondary swamp castle – and I can see all of this from half a map away. Well, the choice wasn't great; I managed to break through thanks to the archmages' magic. And it took 2 turns to reach the swamp castle. As a result, I took 2 crypts along the way, each with 2,000 resources. I built wyverns right away after taking the castle, and then merged 2 wyverns in the crypt. On turn 117, I managed to build birds in the fortress; there were 2 wood left, and the rest of the resources and gold were at zero. I had 6-7 heroes. And the prospect of earning money was good; everyone saw the gold. On turn 122, I break through the elves, travel half a map, and there's an underground castle that isn't GO! (not passable). So, with 4 birds, I put some pressure on my opponent, waiting for the next week without attacking his castle. I also had a plan to upgrade air creatures around turn 27. In the army, for 3 weeks, there would be 7 birds, 27 water elementals, 27 upgraded air elementals, and 7 moners, plus whatever else I could afford. But my opponent surrendered, either realizing the hopelessness of the situation or trying to take a consultant (there was darkness! I don't know why he surrendered).
Thanks for the game
