Posts from “Spring 2013” season. Online ranked games (reports, confirmations, discussions).

I confirm. In both scenarios, things were too depressing. In the first one, my archers were reduced by half in the first week, and then their diamond golems finished them off, so I had to surrender. And there was practically no wood, which is critical for a Castle. In the second scenario, things were a bit better, but the passage to the second week is guarded by a horde of manticores, which I obviously couldn't kill with my army from weeks 1 and 2. As a result, I cleared out my entire territory and then realized that there was no way forward; everywhere there were guards who would simply kill me, and I didn't have enough money to buy out the entire army from the city. In the end, I attacked the Medusa lair and quietly settled there. 50 Medusas are no joke!
Thank you for the game, Dima.

We played random on LK...started without built archers, Valeska in the tavern, the telescope artifact dropped, spread out with 2 heroes, built the town hall on day 1, only left on day 3 with 29 gremlins and archers, went down into the underground crushing everything in my way, took a secondary Rampart without a fort, killed everyone I could, by week 2 day 1 monks in the fort and 3 heroes, trouble with wood
Took a Pandora's box for 40 basilisks on 45 harpies in week 2, killed 50 unupgraded crusaders, another 40 basilisks, took a mini Dragon Fly Hive, by week 3 day 1 horses in the Castle and 3rd Castle also Rampart, turned in an artifact for upgraded harpies via a quest for 15k gold, bought everything, found a couple more Dragon Fly Hives, messed up losing archers and a few wyverns, morale also happened with neutrals very often... in the end, on week 3 day 5, scouting from the opponent came to me, I started heading towards the opponent with 24 wyverns, 12 fanatics, 5 horses, 25 archers, stats 8 5 4 2, opponent had 5-6-3-5 or something like that... as it turned out, Vitaly shared the Sword of Justice from an unreal stack of pits (90)... GG

Thanks for the game!!!

Thanks for the game!!!

Confirmed!
I was counting on a passage from the Castle to the north past the wood mine, but it wasn't there, so I had to break through 19 djinns to get out of the spawn, I lost everyone and crawled out with 10 harpies... then I started developing somehow and found some gold, built a manticore in the Citadel! On week 3 I go after the pits only for the sword +5 all, there are 90 of them... I lost 13 lions, 23 gr eyes, 4 ducks, and a few gr harpies... no gold, but I don't give up, I had hope for a quest but in the hut they were looking for something else... with the remains of my army I go after the remains of the pits))... and the last pit killed my unit GG...))
Thanks for the game!!!

thanks for the game.

I confirm
Gurni was leveling like a king, but the lack of slow and 2 swamp secondary skills did their dirty work.
Thanks for the game!

General, thanks for the time.

03/24/2013 Kluka (red, Castle, Kaitlin, Charna) def darkello (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 8mm6a 134

Charna arrives and gains experience in magic at level 112, becoming the main hero.
At level 113, while scouting on antimorale terrain, I lose 6 archers to 40+40 fey :(
At level 114, I move into the center. I bring archers from an external dwelling and decide to test a tier 6 teleport for reconnaissance (water elementals + mummies). I spend many resources.
At level 116, I take a computer-controlled town (tier 1-2 in the citadel + GM1), killing two heroes with one unit each, and then sit down to replenish mana.
At level 117, I capture the central Inferno village.

I've been staying at the computer-controlled respawn point for the second week.
At level 122, I gain +8 vivs at the cost of 30 skeletons and some troglodytes. I also repel an attack on an external dwelling of pikemen.
At level 123, an opponent appears, but I notice him too late. I defend against a hydra lair using efreets; almost all the skeletons are defeated due to morale/antimorale effects, but it doesn't matter much.
At level 124, I defeat him, maxing out my skills. Quick gives me a loss of all skeletons and resources, so I agree. In total, I get 20 vivs.
At level 125, I decide to test the remaining hydra lair with a scout. Instead of taking magic units, I somehow took skeleton units... The battle was just ridiculous. The entire army stood there blinded, and if not blinded, they were definitely affected by antimorale. I retreat losing 3 pegasi, 4 vivs, and all 30+ archers. The hydra lair turned out to be minimal. In total, I have 20 vivs + various minor units in my army.
I was ready to give up my starting castle, but Shakti moves towards the computer-controlled respawn point on his own. The next day, I attack.

There, artillery is upgraded, some experience in magic (judging by the damage from arrows), and there is +1 speed. He buys himself off with 16 griffin medusas and 1 troglodyte taken in Pandora :), leaving me with 9 vivs, 27 resources, and 2 knights. I didn't take any skeletons into the fight.
At level 127, I break through to the starting respawn point.

In the third week, I gain +6 vivs, +2 angels, and +1 speed at my home base. At level 133, immediately after consolidation, I break through to Inferno, taking it back from the opponent that same day. My army is still at home.
Shakti attacks; seeing that he cannot kill Charna, he casts antimagic, and Charna, shooting a bolt at the medusas, calmly retreats. The next day, Charna redeploys in Inferno, gets an army, manages to capture another hydra lair and a tier 4 castle, and then attacks. Victory.

Thank you for the game!

Without much fuss we each took a castle, I was left without restorations, but the layout turned out well for me — an experience stone nearby, an external dwelling of skeletons, on turn 113 I maxed Necromancy on 2 Necromancers and took a 15-stack Dwarf Cottage, 150 skeletons, I'm heading to another Dwarf Cottage, but on my turn the opponent surrenders, refused auto-resolve. Thanks for the game!

Without even scouting, we each took a castle. I was left without restarts, but then the cards fell in my favor: an experience stone nearby, an external skeleton dwelling. On 113, I experted Necromancy for two Necromancers and took a level 15 Dwarf Cottage, 150 skeletons. I was heading to another Dwarf Cottage, but on my turn the opponent surrendered; I declined the autoplay. Thanks for the game!

Starting with 50 Centaurs and 13 Elves, 2 experience stones. Day 2, upgraded the 13 Elves. Due to lack of time (real life), I didn't continue. Thanks for the game.

[Thanks for the game!

I didn't think I could mess up a situation like this, but I managed to, and I failed. ;(
confirm!

Due to complete lack of money and hopelessness, I went into the Griffin Conservatory and got myself killed)
25.03.2013 aka.Ward3n(blue,Conflux,Random,Moner,Moner) def Rockmachine(red,Rampart,Ivor,Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 137
111 Moner with 5 heroes from the start, 16 air elementals, crypt, pre-max, Dragon Fly Hive shines behind the champions and the Griffin Conservatory behind the orcs. Gotta play.
By 117 I had placed the birds, at 121 I bought 4 birds and went for the snow secondary.
On the 2nd week I assembled 2 Griffin Conservatories for 4 angels, another one at 131, and a 3rd at 134.
At 134 I chain-pass from Kira, who had taken the Griffin Conservatory, the troops to Moner and go to fight ГО — 28 giants + 7 titans. My army: 9 angels, 3 birds, 10 poops, 12 ducks, 6 phoenixes, faeries, 10 fire elementals, 18 air elementals.
I break through, leaving 8 angels, 3 ducks, 1 phoenix.
Had seen earlier in the thieves' guild that the opponent only had horses.
As a result, at 137 the final fight against a scout hero with no chance; there was a crash, but the opponent surrendered. Recordings are available on the Twitch channel.
Thanks to the opponent for the games!

25.03.2013 RA_Ge (red, Random, Rampart, Gunnar) def Nicolas Cage (blue, Random, Stronghold, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 125

We each took two resource zones and set off

111 - split into four heroes. No archers came, but a Conflux hero with three stacks = a bunch of nice units. Light up the Dragon Fly Hive and Griffin Conservatory
112 - +2 more heroes, +1 Dragon Fly Hive, +3 Dwarf Cottages
113-115 made a wrong turn and ended up at ГО, turned back to secondary zones
116-117 as per genre convention, on day six Gunnar was one move short of reaching (his native) secondary, and on day seven Mephala was 5 moves away from taking the second one (Tower).
121 - In Tower, I build a Lookout Tower and light up the Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Fly Hive again.
122 - Gunnar gets beaten in the main and stands ready at the first Dragon Fly Hive. Mephala prepares for the second.
123 - Gunnar takes a pre-minimal Dragon Fly Hive and a small Dwarf Cottage, Mephala takes a minimal Dragon Fly Hive.
124 - Gunnar takes a pre-max Dragon Fly Hive and pushes through to the third secondary. Meanwhile, the opponent took his native secondary and headed over to visit with three bears.
125 - Third secondary (Conflux) and two Pandora's Boxes (15k experience) for Gunnar, though I lost a Wyvern and two horses to a hundred Eyes. Also scouted a very close and nice passage to the treasure zone. The opponent, meanwhile, approached my main.
126 Gunnar turns around and rushes home to greet the guests.

37 grand elves, 17 wyverns, 4 horses, 22 centaurs, 4 dendroids, 6 pegasi against
3 bears, 9 birds, 18 riders, 121 goblins, 32 orcs

In the first round, the grand elves took out 12 orcs, and the orcs in return took out one grand elf.
