2013-02-11 Ominous1 (blue, Tower, Astral, Kyrre) def Gasik (red, Tower, Halon, Luna) JC 117
We started after using all restarts. I immediately found Kyrre in the tavern and decided to level her. Over the next four turns, the main hero ran to the secondary hero, visited stat boosters, gathered experience, and obtained the needed skills - Earth and Tactics. I revealed a level 3 Griffin Conservatory, 3 beehives, a mage external dwelling, giants, and 2 genies. On turn 116 I stopped near a beehive, planning to take the pickups and the giants' external dwelling on turn 117. At that moment, the opponent concedes on his turn.
Thanks for the game.

Yes, that's how it was, thanks for the game! Wish you good luck further....

11.02.2013 Ayauhteotl (Blue, Tower, Tan, Iona) def marader-kisa (Red, Tower, Kira, Halon), Balance, 135

111 - I take the mage guild upgrade
112 - I take the native secondary skill, break through to the swamp secondary skill for 20+ vampires, clear a pandora's box for 75 gargoyles and leave it for Iona, who was given Earth magic.
113 - the pandora's box has 5k experience, Iona experts Earth and grabs Pathfinding, clearly heading to the main. I take the swamp secondary skill, move the troops the other way, break through to the grass for 20+ swordsmen, clear gloves+MP. Meanwhile, scouting the respawn showed nothing particularly interesting besides the mage guild upgrade.
114 - on the grass there's a dungeon town, I take it. In 3 castles I build Mage Guild-1, I want Haste for Iona, but there is neither Haste nor at least Haste anywhere. I enter the observation tower, from the dungeon there's a road going up, blocked by 20+ gr ogres for a windmill and +1 all, further beyond 10-19 gr gorgons there's a passage to the zone with Conflux.
115 - I break in with Iona into the dungeon, bring mages from home, there's a portal in the dungeon. My army: 12 mages, 100 gremlins, and some fodder. I attack the ogres, there are only 23 of them. I notice a problem: wood ran out, and there's none lying around anywhere. Gold is also a bit low. Enova on a gnoll runs around the swamp secondary skill, but it's almost empty.
116 - I think for a long time whether to attack the gorgons or not, I attack. There are exactly 19 of them. It helped a lot that Iona had taken basic Tactics beforehand, and that they didn't luck out with morale a couple of times on the first turn. -6 gremlins and fodder from the dungeon. I can't build anything, no resources.
117 - I take the Conflux, clear a scroll with Implosion, see a Griffin Conservatory, head towards it. At home, 1-4 in the fort.
121 - it's sad there are no nagas, but I got a decent buy. I transport the army to the main, he reaches the Griffin Conservatory and checks it, tier-2. I postpone taking it to the next turn (movement points are almost gone anyway) hoping there will be Haste in the Conflux.
122 - there is both Haste and Haste in the Conflux. The scout goes to share knowledge with Iona, I attack the Griffin Conservatory. Army: 25 mages, 130 gremlins, 12 air elementals, and faerie dragons. No problems with Haste, I go deeper into the zone, clear a shield+4 defense.
123-125 - scouting the zone, clear resources, build Mage Guild-2, then Mage Guild-3 (Anti-Magic) in the Conflux, take another Griffin Conservatory-1.
126 - clearly time to either go to the treasure zone or to the opponent. I find a portal behind ifrits, dive into it, enter the observation tower and see red Inferno.
127 - I clear a prison with wizards, hello Galtran. I reach the Inferno with him, hire a hero there, ride into the snows up top for scouting. At home I build nagas, but don't buy anyone out yet, saving money for a buyout if needed, already over 10 thousand.
131 - the opponent kills my scout. Pikedram comes to the tavern, I run with him and 1st-tier gargoyles to the opponent's respawn in one direction, with my main I kill his scout and ride in the other direction, see a castle, and can reach it. His main and primary army are there, looks pretty solid. I decide to attack and at least kill a large part of his army, since he already bought troops on 131, and probably for all his gold, while I still have >10k and full growth.
Iona 5-6-5-6, 25 mages 100 gremlins 11-1 air elementals 1-1 faerie dragons 3 angels, Lightning Bolt at 145.
Halon 1-4-5-5, 14 mages 7 gr gargoyles 8 nagas 13 mages 1 angel 40-40 gremlins, Lightning Bolt at 140.
A tough fight, in the end I have 50 gremlins 1 faerie dragon 1-4 air elementals, he has 2 nagas and 8 mages + towers. I don't want to risk it (in case the opponent pulls something unexpected, or morale), I retreat.
I upgrade golems at home, buy 22 of them and 5 nagas, transport this good stuff to the Conflux. Gold ran out, I don't buy out the main yet, there's no MP there anyway, and to replenish mana there's a well near the Conflux.
132-135 - I buy out Iona in the Conflux, learn Anti-Magic, bring her the golems and nagas, position on "my" side of the portal. The opponent retakes his Inferno secondary, dives into the portal. On the first turn I cast Anti-Magic on the nagas, after a couple of turns Halon buys back. I take the secondary, kill 3 of his scouts, bring more fodder from home, attack the red player's main castle, where Halon sits with the remnants of his troops, and blast them with Lightning Bolts, thankfully enough fodder.

Thank you for the game.

Confirmed!
Thanks for the game!

02/12/2013 Kilgor (red, Tower, Ain, Arlash) def disney (blue, Tower, Iona, Moner), 6lm10a, 126

Confirmed. The map was terribly unbalanced, the treasure was worthless, and the only path led to the secondary objective. After three attempts, I chose the correct direction to the computer, captured it, and saw that my opponent had destroyed the computer's tower. I panicked and started rushing, which resulted in a series of losses.

Thanks for the game.

At the request of players, another template has been added to the list. Kite (L-U) by Javdet. It's a simple template, a mix of Smite and Balance. On the native respawn points, there are native villages, and the contents of the respawn points are balanced. In zones 5 and 6, there are cities without fortresses. In zones 7-10, there are cities with fortresses, and on the respawn points, there is one gold mine and one resource mine: 7-mercury, 8-sulfur, 9-crystals, 10-gems. Zones 3 and 4 are treasure zones. The guards for passages 1-5, 5-7, 5-10, and 2-6, 6-8, 6-9 are weak. 5-6 are strong (12500). The rest are 6000 (like on Smite). Cherk starts BLUE. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

=Stinger= (red, Tower, random, Fafner, Marius) def Scorpiona(blue, random, Piquedrem, Crag Hack) 8MM6a, 135

On day 1, external dwelling of Gremlins near the castle and Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels, also external dwelling of Mages and Dragon Fly Hive behind the lot of Zealots - we play.
112 Marius gets Pathfinding and Earth, I take Rampart company on 113 and Sword +3.
In week 1, I build Mages in Fort, Town Hall, Wood in Fort.

In the second week, I take Griffin Conservatory with Oil, Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns, I clear 2 quest artifacts. For the first - they offered 60 Castle Archers for Anti-Morale - I refused. For the second artifact, Cloak for 2 rounds, which was behind the lot of Zealots, they offered 15K gold - I exchanged it. I upgraded Golems, Mages, and Gargoyles in Tower, and Wood in Rampart.
I ran into the adjacent zone Inferno, took a Dragon Fly Hive for 4 Wyverns there.
On 131, the blue player appeared in the Teleport, I chased after them and chased off a Necro with 2 angels and other strong units.
Then I ran with Marius on Expert Logistics to the opponent's castle, along the way I took another Griffin Conservatory level 2 on his respawn, and with Rampart's weak units and strong forces I captured the second castle - Necro.
On 135, I attack the castle.
Marius 7 9 4 (58) 2+2 angels, 150+ Gremlins, 23 Master Mages, 23 Master Gargoyles, 9 Wyverns, 22 Steel Golems, Oil, Anti-Morale, 3 Luck artifacts.
Crag Hack 11 7 1 (40) 3 angels, 3 Giants, 7 Nagas, 2+2+1 Master Genies, 57 Gremlins.
Shooting at 70, resolved with 2 mana cost.
Thanks for the game.

Oh, I came across the weak units with strong forces at the wrong time, which were also split, I had to buy myself off and give away all the accumulated finances, quite a lot - 8,5k :( then I got confused and made a ton of unnecessary moves...:smile04:

Thanks for the game!

zлой_романтик (Red, random, Nелка, Nелка) def Zybr (Blue, random, Kira, Kira) 127 WT Jebus Cross
I went to the center a couple of days earlier than the opponent, which decided the game, as I managed to eat the key central Dragon Utopia, which gave a colossus, books of air and water, + a golden bow, and the next day I saw blue flags, where I caught a scout hero with moat [moat?/power], a bit further there was a momma on angels... GG, though most likely, the golden bow and +3 to speed would have decided it anyway...
Thanks for the game.

zloi_romantik (Red, random, Nelfa, Nelfa) def Zybr (Blue, random, Kira, Kira) 127 WT Jebus Cross
I got to the center a couple of days earlier than the opponent, which decided the outcome, because I managed to eat the key central Dragon Utopia, which gave a Crown, books of Air and Water, + a Golden Bow, and the next day I saw blue flags, where I caught a scout hero with a Power of the Undead Horde (POH), a little further there was a main hero on Angels... gg, although most likely the Golden Bow and +3 Speed would have decided it anyway...
Thanks for the game.

Confirmed. The setup seemed decent, although the main from Kira is of course so-so) Nevertheless, she expertized Earth quickly, and with Oil you can play even on a Mage. The only thing was I needed to replenish her mana earlier somehow, but in the end I stalled and the opponent managed to gobble up the important Dragon Utopia and caught me on the speed run. GG
Thanks for the game and good luck further:)

13.02.2013 Heroes13 (Red, Tower, Torosar, Monere) def CryptoNight (Blue, Tower, Aine, Tazar) 8mm6a 122
Got two native heroes, decided to play. On day 1 I took a crypt for 5 vampires, bought 5 heroes. Day 2 I revealed a Griffin Conservatory, bought another couple of heroes. Day 3, I broke into the underground, there was a Dwarf Cottage behind a pack of sharpshooters, gloves behind water elementals, and a shield behind griffins, and I could learn Logistics. On day 5 I took a town behind shifted guard, it turned out to be a treasure zone, but I still wanted to take down the opponent. The quest building gave me a quest for the Dragon Eye, and there it was behind many Dendroid Soldiers (25 units). I took the artifact and carried it off! On days 6-7 I took another crypt for 5 vampires, revealed a Palace of the Damned, was 100 MP short of taking it, and revealed a second Griffin Conservatory, and the quest gives 30 Monks!!! And I see another quest artifact. Everything seemed great, Nagas in the Citadel. On 1-2-1 I upgrade nagas, bring in the monks and rush around collecting Griffin Conservatories, the first one dropped a two-star, and nearby I took a Pandora's Box for 10k experience, Monere level 10, they gave me Expert Logistics, Expert Offense, Expert Wisdom, and basic Magic. But then my opponent capitulated. :(
Thanks for the game

13.02.13 Heroes13 (Tower, Torosar, Monere) def CryptoNight (Tower, Aine, Tazar) 8mm6a 122
I got two native heroes, decided to play. On the first day, I took a crypt with 5 vampires, bought 5 heroes. On the second day, I revealed a Griffin Conservatory, bought another couple of heroes. On the third day, I broke through to the underground, there was a Dwarf Cottage behind a stack of snipers, gloves behind water elementals, and a shield behind greater griffins, and I could learn logistics. On the fifth day, I took a town behind shifted guard, it turned out to be a treasure zone; I still wanted to finish off the computer. The quest building gave me a quest for the Eye of the Dragon, and there I see it behind many dendroid soldiers (25 units). I take the artifact and carry it! On days 6-7, I took another crypt with 5 vampires, revealed the Palace of the Cursed, didn't have 100 MP to take it, and revealed a second Griffin Conservatory, and the quest gives 30 monks!!! And I see another quest artifact. Everything seems great, Nagas in the Citadel. On 1-2-1, I upgrade the Nagas, bring the monks, and rush to collect the Griffin Conservatories; the first one dropped a two, and nearby I took a Pandora's Box with 10k experience, Monere level 10, expert logistics, expert attack, expert wisdom, and they forced basic magic onto me. But then my opponent surrenders. :(
Thanks for the game

I attacked 122 with 15 wizards without a spell book with 1 angel and 5 greater nagas under Tazar without a spell book — got oil in the face and lost 2 nagas and the angel... and after that, I entered a Hive without checking with 25 golems and 3 greater nagas and lost) After getting oiled by the wizards, I had no desire to play anymore at all — so the loss was inevitable. :(

13.02.2013 ~no1_knows_me~ (red, Tower, Eine, Grindan) def SVAROG (blue, Tower, Torosar, Tazar) balance 215

...don't play balance with Towers...

We played one game to a draw. We played for a long time, there were protracted battles of noobs, troop trading, buybacks, searching for additional SP for Bolt, Armageddons... brains were boiling and then I captured the opponent's main, but I make a mistake - hit and run... I propose a draw.

we play the second time the same balance...

111. 5 heroes, Gargoyles not built, Grindan is in the tavern. Near the castle there are 2 Dwarf Cottages.
112. I buy Grindan, the passage to my native secondary hero is blocked by 20-49 Archers from the castle behind an experience stone and resources. The road to the sands is blocked by 20-49 Manticores and the same number of Naga Queens. Another road leads to 20-49 Frost Elementals.
113. This is terrible, the Archers with wild morals take down 35 Gremlins :smile35: well, at least I revealed an external dwelling of Magi.
114. Took my secondary hero, wood 0.
115. For a long time I beat 45 corpses with 47 Gremlins for an obelisk, to get to the wood mine.
116. Noob revealed another external dwelling of Magi :smile12: Grindan takes the average Crypt and sets his sights on the Dwarf Cottage 50-99. I build a Citadel at home.
117. The mini-Dwarf Cottage falls and a chain links up perfectly to paint the second external dwelling of Magi. I built Naga at home.
121-127. I break through to the Necropolis secondary hero. There is a Shield +2, I took Sulfur, Crystal, and Gem mines. A second front opened with 5 Nagas, Sandro along with Vistan take Crypts, resources and reach the quest artifact (Bird of Perception) behind 20-49 Pixies. Overall, there were 4 quests on the respawn, 3 of which I completed later.
131. Grindan with Masks, 28 Magi, 50 Green Dragons, and 17+ Gargoyles enters the Naga dwelling tier 3. I had to feed them all the Gargoyles, I recall home to replenish mana. Meanwhile, the noobs take the quest artifact.
132. The noobs take another secondary hero. Grindan approaches the GO.
133. Oil and 42 Magi erase Manticores and Nagas on Alabaster. Nearby there is a Breastplate +1all.
134. I venture a little into the treasure zone. For the quest artifact, they gave +25 Demons.
135. I venture into the sand.
136. For the Djinns, I get a Town Portal scroll :smile44: I immediately set GM3. I also got a sword +2/2. I stand before the treasure zone.
137. I enter the treasure zone. There I paint an external dwelling of Liches and in the camp they give 3 more Liches :) The blues are buzzing around in the portal, but 20-49 Efreet Sultans guard it :smile08: At home GM4 and there is a Teapot :smile54:
141. Noob takes the Dragon Fly Hive on 6 Vivi, Grindan reveals and clears another quest artifact and reveals another :smile12:
142. I go for the second artifact, I also take a Pandora's Box with 80 Skeletons.
143. I take the artifact and Town Portal home. The blues enter the sands.
144. One artifact for 15k experience, for the second they give 15 upgraded Vampires. Tazar almost reached my main. Grindan takes the Djinn, Magus, 80 Skeletons, 25 Demons and attacks Tazar. The Teapot hits 4 Angels, then one time it was resisted and then Bolt took down 2 Naga Queens, I didn't calculate properly and didn't finish off 5 HP of the next Naga :( I buy back with 18 Demons. I sit in the castle.
145. Tazar galloped home, Grindan goes to take the 15k experience.
146-147. Wars of the noobs... Grindan approaches the blues.
211. A turn nearly became fatal for Grindan - level 17, 7-11-11-280 exp. Earth\Air\Fire\Wisdom\Scholar\Intelligence. He crept right up to the blue main with 44 Gargoyles, 1 Magus, 1 Djinn, and 21 upgraded Golems - The noobs first try to be tricky, remove the Djinn, Magus, and a couple of Gargoyles. Then Tazar attacks with 6 individual Djinns and 31 upgraded Golems. The Djinns cast Bless, Prayer, Haste and then Anti-Magic on the Golems. I take out 5 Djinns with Death Wave, one resisted :mad: I handle the battle poorly, forgot that the Golems have Anti-Magic and cast oil :mad: The Golems with Luck finish off mine :( I wanted to cast Anti-Magic on the Gargoyles and make Tazar run away, but the Gargoyles couldn't finish off the Djinn... I cast something, Haste on them... the opponent casts Slow, Bolt and 2 Gargoyles remain with a total of about 28 HP - the turn of the 1st Djinn... and he leaves 1 Gargoyle with 5 HP :smile41: I almost went gray in those few seconds... I buy back... we saved. Continued after 2 days.
212-215. Town Portal to the Inferno secondary hero - there's a portal behind Manticores, where the blues were hanging around. The noobs run around collecting Magi from external dwellings, as well as resources for GM5. Grindan emerged somewhere in the center, killed a noob there, and went to take the blue Conflux. Tazar comes out of the portal and he has 2 choices: either attack Grindan who has 1 Djinn and 15 upgraded Vampires and get a Teapot for 540 or try to run to my main (he doesn't know that Grindan has Town Portal :smile08: ) Tazar chooses my main, but doesn't make it... there Sandro meets him, and throws a Teapot into an Angel for 327... well then Grindan takes the Conflux, Town Portal to the main, upgrades 60 Magi and attacks. The first Teapot was resisted by 200 Green Dragons :mad: But then everything went well, the opponent cast Blind on the Magi, the Djinns cast Prayer on the Vampires, Haste on the Nagas and Gremlins... 32 Golems got close to my Gremlins and Magi. I get oil, next turn I cast Haste, finish off the Nagas and Giants, next turn I remove the Blind from 60 Magi and with Luck I wipe out almost all Golems and leave a hundred Green Dragons... then GG, because anyway next turn GM5 was going up, which had Flight with Implosion (for 1.5k damage)...

Thanks for the fierce battles, it was tough... :smile54:

13.02.2013 Heroin_HP (blue, Fafner, Dermit) def Aiwe (red, Iona, Solomyr) 8mm6a 144.

Spent all my resets at once, got 2 Capes of Speed, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and a Griffin Conservatory two-heart. At the end of the game, I found another Griffin Conservatory, but didn't have time to take it. Mom has Expert Earth Magic, Intelligence, Tactics, and Wisdom after the Pandora's Box at 122 for 10+ Unit Bless. I immediately took the Griffin Conservatory, the Dragon Fly Hives, and went into the dungeon. There I only had time to take the Pandora's Box with 20 Medusas, and my opponent arrived. I built a Level 5 Mage Guild, and Implosion left no questions about the victory. Thanks for the game!

13.02.2013 Heroin_HP (blue, Fafner, Dermit) def Aiwe (red, Iona, Solomir) 8mm6a 144.

Spent all my restarts at once, got 2 hatter hives, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and a tier 2 Griffin Conservatory; at the end of the game I discovered another Griffin Conservatory but never got to take it. My main hero had Expert Earth, Intelligence, Tactics, and Wisdom after a Pandora's Box at 122 for 10+ uniques. I immediately took the Griffin Conservatory, the Dragon Fly Hives, and went into the basement; there I only had time to take a Pandora's Box with 20 Medusas before my opponent arrived. I built a level 5 Mage Guild, and Implosion left no questions about victory. Thanks for the game!

I confirm. Took 111 three times thanks to crappy respawns and Pike Dram, no restarts left; half the spawns are blocked by Snipers, in the first pass there's a block of 20-50 whip-wielders or 20-50 Gremlin hordes, in the second pass — a block of Gogs guarding the ribs, after breaking through which only 50 Gremlins remained: couldn't even take max crypts :(
In the end, somehow by 117 I built a Naga without a Citadel, at 121 I took 2 crypts, and on the second week I killed the native Necro computer opponent and only started eating the map at 131.
I took 2 tier 3 Griffin Conservatories, Dragon Fly Hives with 26 Wyverns, the opponent is revealed near my secondary hero.
Scouted, and right by the portal there was his Dungeon town: captured it, saw that he had few heroes (some I killed, some the computer must have killed), 1 castle, and hoping his situation was bad, I went to him, since the treasure zone there was already eaten, and I was afraid to take the Dragon Utopia. That turned out to be fatal.
Due to a lack of everything, I didn't even build a level 3 Mage Guild, so when I saw Implosion, I burst into tears and wrote GG :smile11:, even though the armies were almost at parity.

Thanks for the game!

Derty, sorry for being presumptuous, but the grid is completely unreadable... The color combination (thin black font on blue ice) is very uncomfortable for the eyes. Given that it's an image, you can't even use page search to find a specific player in the grid. Could you please attach a link to the grid file in Excel next to it?

Dirty, sorry for being pushy, but the bracket is completely unreadable... The color combination (thin black font on blue ice) is very uncomfortable for the eyes. Considering this is an image, you can't even search for a specific player in the bracket using page search. Could you attach a link to the bracket file in Excel nearby?

What's there that can't be read??) One glance at the bracket and everything is clear. Besides, all the players are well-known, no need to pore over every letter
