Posts from Diamond Monster

In reality, it's quite simple: the more zones of a given type on the map, the stronger the guards. An interesting pattern emerges, by the way, that the same native center on Jebus Cross, which is a decent bonus, at the same time makes the guards of dwellings and Pandora's Boxes with native troops harder.
P.S. In case anyone doesn't know, the zone type and terrain type may not match — on the Balance template on mixed tiles, for example. There can be 10 zone types: all towns plus neutrals. The zone type determines the dwellings and creatures in Pandora's Boxes, as well as the main town of the zone (there may be no towns at all, if the template specifies so).

I tried generating with the computer for a test - on the same Diamond I placed 8 Castles. The guard at the external dwelling of Monks was 70 gr. Troglodytes, for example, other external dwellings were also not too different from the standard. So it's still not very clear :smile32:

If there was only 1 castle zone on the map, the monk hideout wouldn't be guarded at all. If there were 4, there would be approximately 40 troglodytes.

Even troglodytes know that monks are terrible.

Here are a couple more matches from the first round:

c0nn3c71nkK.ppL - ariputra
GoedenDag - Anry
theShevanesian - ariputra (instead of LeBron)
TERM is currently without a match.

Hmm, sorry, but is Ariputra playing 2 games in the first round?

A clean external dwelling of Hydras was guarded by 42 monks. Those who like various calculators for guard calculations, please provide an explanation. :)

Thank you for the game.

I've attached a save file if anyone is interested. Passwords: "numone" and "300".

CryptoNight (Red Rampart, Ivor) def. Lizard (blue, Citadel, Tyrus). 126
Bought the color for 900.
On turn 111, I split into 4 heroes via the stable and tried to play very quickly and save time for a week – it worked; I almost raised it to 1200, but I still lost to 0 on turn 125.
On turn 112, I already had 6 heroes, a lot of money, an external market, and my own Tuesday:D
I leveled up Ivor to level 7 by turn 117, had 25k money, 123-5 buildings in the castle + growth and a large number of gnomes. I found a large resource, 2 hives, wings, an angel stash, water keys, all protected by legitimate guards.
On turn 121, I upgraded the centaurs and gnomes, resulting in 100+ centaurs and 62 large gnomes, 9 wood and 32 grand.
:smile20: I break 89 large wood for a hive + wings – I lost 7 wood in the battle – I didn't manage it well, then I easily defeat 70 black ogres for a library, and I aim for 3 Pandoras (2+1). Both of them defend, and the miracle defends 10-19 black necoknights:smile20: I easily break them without a book, I break 30 black necrodrakes for a perfect Tamika – with a logo, wisdom, and water:smile20: The Pandoras – 1 is empty, 1 has 10k gold (I put a fort + archers in the secondary), and one has 5k experience. Then I defeat 6 large bears for another Pandora for 15k experience – Ivor's leveling is just great – fire (learned in the hut), water, tactics, wisdom, defense:smile44: On turn 123, I split into another treasure – there I take a hive + shield + 6. On turn 124, I take a quest, and another hive, an angel stash. Tamika with 2 damage dealers and 70 mana is very effective) On turn 125, I split Ivor into a dungeon, make double mana, Tamika takes another 2 hives and a key:smile20: In total, we have 27 ducks (1 lost), 58 large elders of rank 8, 20 large centaurs, 1 angel, and 31 grand. On turn 126, I bring another 7 grand and an angel from the dungeon portal, and I see that the opponent is rushing with 6 angels and 40 ducks:eek: We cover all this mess, take a Pandora from under the opponent's nose for 15 large birds, and attack his main – and there are another 140 wolves:eek: If I hadn't attacked, there would have been 40 vivs, 6 angels, 140 wolves, and 15 large birds by the end of the second week – and it would have been very difficult for me – I attacked in time and won the game:smile20:
Thanks for the game.
