31.03.2013 AYMAN (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def aka.Ward3n (red, Castle, Valeska, Gunnar) mini-nostalgia, 126

no time to describe, after all the firsts it came down to luck, no caches at all (I have) a dungeon, but quickly killed the computers, cons mini couple of hives and by the second Kyrre was already crawling in the treasure zone. But for the opp the game didn't go well (auto) didn't help. On the third, in perspective, Dragon Utopia stood after a couple of hives.

Thanks for the game !!!!!!!

Confirm.
At the beginning of the game I made a mistake by splitting the troops; on the 2nd this was very decisive and I got wiped out on enchants

03/31/2013 theShevanesian (red, swamp, Tazar) def Juristis (blue, Fortress, Kaitlin, Bron) 8mm6a 122
The opponent surrendered while defending the Hive. Thanks for the game!

121 only) I confirm, I had a very bad battle with 70 Cerberuses, I must have still been groggy at the time.

31.03.2013 Podli (blue, Tower, Peasant, Tiraxor) def George47 (red, Citadel, Jabarkas, Jabarkas) Jebus full WT full random 133

Took 111 on the rest.
111. There is an external dwelling of Gremlins under the Castle. I open the scouting view, I see two external Nagas dwellings. It's far to run, because the road is blocked by 10+ Efreeti guarding a Ball of Fire and a Pandora's Box. I upgrade Gargoyles for tempo, I spread out to 5 heroes.
112. Scout heroes are doing reconnaissance, I dig up Tiraxor, he becomes the main. The first external Naga dwelling is guarded by 20-49 Pegasi, can't do it without Tactics. I see a Shield +5 and a Sword +2/2, guarded by 100+ Eyes. I see a Pandora's Box behind 50+ Pegasi. Roads to secondary heroes are blocked.
113. 2 Dragon Fly Hives and Gauntlets behind 20-49 Crusaders are revealed. The Gauntlets are far, can't pick them up immediately. Tiraxor picked up a couple of treasure chests, they gave Scouting. He runs to the first external dwelling. Revealed a GO - 50+ Cavaliers.
114. I hit a Dwarf dwelling ten, the army beats off various small fry.
115. With a couple of Nagas, I hit the Pegasi for the external dwelling. There are almost 50 of them, I lose all Golems and both Nagas. Tiraxor pushes Offense, takes Earth.
116. A scout hero hits a prison for 15 Golden Golems, there's Gretchins level 10, expert Logistics and Pathfinding. Respawn is scouted, quite isolated - only 3 Dragon Fly Hives, external Nagas dwelling and that's it. Little money. Came up with the following plan - at the start of the second week, gather the Dragon Fly Hives, expert Earth, build Slow and go to the center. On 117 123467 in the Citadel.

117-124 - implementation of the plan. Pandora's Box made me happy - 15k exp. All of this could have been done faster, the lack of experience playing Tower showed. Tiraxor level 13 expert Offense, Tactics, Scouting, Earth and basic Navigation with Logistics stands at the GO.
125 - I hit the GO. Army - 2 Giants, 13 unupgraded Nagas (money and tempo issues showed), 130 Gremlins, 4 Mages, 21 Gargoyles, 20 Gargoyles on singles. GO broke through without losses. Out of stupidity I lose the Giants and 2 Wyverns, but for 130 Efreeti I get a Necklace of All +3 and a Pandora's Box with 3 Champions. I see a Dragon Fly Hive + Armor +3/3 behind 50+ Djinns, a Black Market is along the road, I see a Dragon Utopia.
126 - I take the Dragon Fly Hive, at the market I buy a Morale artifact - to avoid anti-morale. I ramp up. Tiraxor got Logistics upgraded, took Defense and Fire in the last slots.
127 - I hit a tier-3 Dragon Utopia, I only lose Gargoyles. They give KO and KZ, perfectly matching the skills. I hit 80 Minotaurs for a Gladius and a prison next to the second Dragon Utopia. I didn't reach the prison by one tile. Plan - push Fire, grab the Castle in the center, Town Portal myself to the main, where I upgrade Nagas and replenish mana. Return via Town Portal to the center and continue clearing.
131 - I hit the second Dragon Utopia - they give a Shield +3/3, Black Orb, Cap of +10 Knowledge. I hit 20+ Ghost Dragons for a Pandora's Box with 20k experience and another KO. I reached the end of the road - a GO to the opponent, I see an un-taken Dragon Utopia in his respawn. Scout heroes already scouted the center, there are Dragon Fly Hives, Pandora's Boxes and nice artifacts, but all behind very nasty guards that it's scary to jump at with scout heroes. I decide to finish the game - bring growth on 132 and kill the opponent.
132 - I hit the opponent's GO, slightly short of reaching the Castle. Army - 22 Gargoyles, 22 Nagas, 3 Champions, 190 Gremlins (lost too many due to stupidity...), 16 Mages. Stats 33-14-9-10.
On 133 I attack the opponent's main, there are no stats or army there. Bears, Angels and Birds fall under expert Berserk, followed by a surrender.

I made quite a few mistakes - lost Gremlins where I shouldn't have and had mistakes with chains. I could have realistically reached the center 1-2 days earlier.

Thanks for the game!

1.04.2013 Ominous1 (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Iamsamstan (blue, Castle, Valeska, Isra) 2sm4d3, 137

Scout hero with 3 stacks, but the passes to secondary zones turned out nasty - grand elves and snipers, so on the first day I didn't explore the map much. On the second day I broke through to a ramp secondary zone, took Griffin Conservatory 1, went into a treasure zone. In the treasure zone I spotted a Level 5 hat and Dragon Armor. At the end of the second and the beginning of the third week I pick up all of that and decide to go to the opponent. On day 135 I take the opponent's main, on day 136 I distribute imps to scout heroes. On day 137 the opponent attacks with his Isra, who has no mana against the scout hero, and the scout hero fires two imps, and the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

1.04.2013 Ominous1 (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Iamsamstan (blue, Castle, Valeska, Isra) 2sm4d3, 137

Scout hero with 3 stacks, but the secondary zone pathing was nasty - Grands and Snipers, so I didn't explore much of the map in the first week. In the second week I broke through to a ramp secondary, got a Griffon Conservatory 1, went into the treasure zone. In the treasure zone I revealed a level 5 hat and Dragon Armor. At the end of week 2 and beginning of week 3 I pick all of that up and decide to go after the opponent. At turn 135 I take the opponent's main, at turn 136 I distribute imps to scout heroes. At turn 137 the opponent attacks with his Isra, no mana on the scout hero, in the fight two imps from the scout hero and the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

Yes, that happened, Isra's leveling went poorly, had to fight without mana. Thanks for the game!

01.04.2013 numOne (red, dungeon, Synca, Galtran) def Vinceras (blue, dungeon, Adgit, Clavius), 2sm4d(3), 141

A somewhat difficult start, but Luna and Galtran arrived — no question of resting. For the first 2 days I played with 3 heroes, then I bought out Gosha, broke through a block of 40 archers, and off it went: external dwellings levels 1-5, painted both secondary towns, killed 4 crypts, all max and near-max — they stuffed me with artifacts). Then treasure zone, all the land, and through ГО to the opponent. Captured the castle and with the bought scout hero reached Clavius on 1 group of harpies. GG.

Thanks for the game!

01.04.2013 numOne (red, dungeon, Synca, Galtran) def Vinceras (blue, dungeon, Adgit, Clavius), 2sm4d(3), 141

A somewhat tricky start, but once Luna and Galtran arrived - there could be no talk of rest. I played the first 2 days with 3 heroes, then bought Gosh, broke the block of 40 archers and off we went: external dwellings levels 1-5, painted both secondary towns, killed 4 crypts which were all max and near-max - they stuffed me with artifacts). Then treasure zone, all the land and through ГО to the opponent. Captured the castle and with the bought scout hero reached Clavius with 1 group of harpies. ГГ.

Thanks for the game!

A good matchup, but a few mistakes ultimately led to defeat.
Thanks for the game!

01.04.2012 darkello (red, Citadel, Jabarkas, Moner) def Satire (blue, Castle, Sonya, Valeska) 2sm4d3, 126

We played with random heroes, I took 2 restarts, opponent 1 and we were off. There were 3 exits not counting the GO. Jabarkas, with 10 archers, gave Moner after buying out heroes, decided to play, on the first day killed harpies and dispersed to 5 heroes and decided on the second day to break through the portal for the scourge-whips, result barely killed them with 17 archers, but lost almost all the meat, on that side vampires, hmm I thought and moved the other way down the intestine-shaped road, seeing on day 4 and 5 gnoll-huts, imp-huts and medusa-huts, secondary was snow, again scourges, by that point transferred birds, on the other side I fought off a bit of gold, a sword +2+2, gnoll shield, took the snow by 115, on 116 took the external dwelling of mages and stopped, restructuring the chain to the third secondary, which was swamp. but then as in a fairy tale, the door creaked and out of nowhere Valya appeared with 30 archers, 70 pikemen and meat, killing my scout hero, stopped 5-7 moves from the castle, and I was below her with 2 birds, 17 archers, 4 mages and tier-1 units in the snow on rough terrain, on 117 as a result I stopped near Valya (having killed some other monsters before that) because I wouldn't run away anyway, while scraping for creatures in the Fort, I built them after all and left 1700 for buyback, we traded 4-5 of his archers for 12 of my orcs and I ran away, after buying out I took the imp-hut, medusa-hut, on 121, Moner level 6-7 with stats 8-6-2-2 expert in Logistics and Offense + Advanced Archery (birds already upgraded by the way), opponent moves along the intestine towards me having received reinforcements, on 122 I take the gnoll-hut, it turns out maximum (almost no losses - tier-1 units and 4 orcs), and I sit in the castle having built the Mage Guild... opponent stops 9 moves from my castle, on 123 I transfer and kill the vampires in the portal, I advance with Jabarkas for scouting, on the same turn I attack Moner with 5 birds and archers on 5 against Valeska, I snipe archers down to 29 lose 3 birds and retreat on turn 2, then I snipe with 2 birds and tier-1 units (since there was little meat, 3-4 tier-1 units) somehow I get the first move on turn 2 and retreat with 1 hound, I remain in the castle with 3 mages, 2 creatures, 7 archers and tier-1 units, opponent retreats, I go on day 124 to the secondary, take the imp-hut and medusa-hut on day 125, secondary Conflux, some gold, opponent at the snow respawn is aiming at the medusa-hut and the Griffin Conservatory, while having brought champions, but they are on the other side of the snow respawn, and not so quick to transfer, on day 126 apparently without them the opponent kills the medusa-hut and goes into the Griffin Conservatory and loses as I understood
thanks for the game

01.04.2012 darkello (red, citadel, Jabarkas, Monere) def Satyr (blue, castle, Sonya, Valeska) 2sm4d3, 126

Started playing because of a dug-up Valeska and a bunch of bows. One secondary, by 113 her respawn and main's respawn were fully scouted and there was no money, no cons, no beehives. Went into the enemy snow, took a tower and pushed back the opponent. But there was only enough money for swords in the fort. In short, the outcome: the situation is terrible, but it wasn't necessary to give up :)
Thx for the game.

02.04.2013 CryptoNight (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Gomunguls (red, Inferno, Ignat, Grindan) Jebus Cross 122 L
On turn 1 took 2 external dwellings of horses and mini-ulys, Ivor rolled Earth, expert defense and archery, and starting offense, has boots and stable on 121, sits in castle before ГО replenishing mana. Army: 23 Grand Elves, 15 gr. horses, 10 Unicorns and gr. Pegasi, 5 Dendroids and a few Centaurs, on 122 was going to attack ГО but Gom couldn't handle his ГО. Thanks for the game ;)

02.04.2013 CryptoNight(blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Gomunguls(red, Inferno, Ignat, Grindan) Jebus Cross 122 L
thanks for the game;)

Confirmed!
On respawn I grabbed 3 Pandora's Boxes: one on day 3 with 18 trolls vs 20 cerberi, a second with 20+ rocs for 5000 experience and Dragon Fly Hive 6, on day 6 another Pandora's Box for 15k experience with 20+ rocs again...on day 121 I destroyed the Medusa Hive and that of ГО...I placed Efreet in the Citadel at my capital and also placed them in the secondary in the Fort...I had a total of 15, bought only 14 Sultans, and with all of them I attack the Faerie Dragons without checking...there turned out to be 4 of them:smile11: ...immediately a bolt on the Efreets and then 2 chain hits from different angles...half the army is gone, I use Mass Slow and try to kill the Faerie Dragons that cast Lightning, leaving those that cast bolts. By round 3, 2 Faerie Dragons remain, and I was hoping there was no Mana there, but on the shot there was, and the last Efreet died.
Thanks for the game!!!

02.04.2013 aka.Ward3n(blue,random,Castle,Adela,Bron) def Sevan_80(red,random,Rampart,Jenova,Clansy) 1.3.2 Jebus Cross
Gave out magnificently, execution was lousy but even that was enough.
111 I light the Griffin Conservatory, pick external dwelling, crypt, 2 Dragon Fly Hives. 2 Pandora's Boxes. Need to play. At 111 miscalculated, clicked arquebusiers and took it, breaking through Müllich's wasp swarms with Bron, Pandora's Box for 10k experience.
112-116 built Angels, took external dwelling with losses leaving only the Angel and 1 Monk =)
117 I go into the max Dragon Fly Hive with Damacon and lose everything except the Angel with 1 HP :smile34: :D, then break through the Pandora's Box behind the eyes for 20 Crusaders, hit the Orcs for the gauntlets and another external dwelling of Angels. Result: at home Angels in Fort, 12 Ducks 2 external dwellings.
121-124 gathered around 35 Ducks and 10 Angels, saved up gold for Arch upgrade. Bron has no magic.
125 with Archs I hit the Rust Dragons' GO, then Champions give Earth, I see I'll have to hit the Grayhorn Efreeti because I can't get past.
126 on morale of the Efreeti I lose 1 Arch and 16 Ducks :smile18:. Then I hit Unicorns for the Library without losses and 11 Chaos Hydras for 10k experience without losses.
127 I hit Archs for the Pandora's Box of 35 Wolves without losses, at home I build the chain and exchange resources through the external dwelling for 3 Archs total.
131 via the chain from home I take the Dragon Fly Hive, bring 6 Ducks and 3 Archs to Bron, hit 42+14 Dark Knights for the Pandora's Box of 8 Behemoths. I break through 19 Black Dragons for a Shield +4 all boots +2 all and Imp dwelling, leaving the Wolves resting there but I don't manage to take them.
132 Opponent comes to the center but can't reach to cover me. His army is clearly weaker. I take the artifacts, break through 21 Greens + 7 Grand Ministers without losses for the Pandora's Box of 10k experience and Fiona level 20, then attack.
FB:
12 Archs, 8 Beholders, 25 Ducks, and 1 stack of Devils that only managed to ruin my army's morale.
Opponent: 25 Grands, 20 Unicorns, 3 Angels, 15 Wyverns, and something else.
Battle stats roughly equal, but I have no Offense, my 6 mana vs opponent's 25. However, Archs are Archs after Blind wears off + 2 resists) I resurrect 8 Bears and push through. Opponent buys his way out but decides not to continue.
Reveal showed that the opponent had 4 external dwellings of Horses, 3 Dragon Fly Hives, and 3 Griffin Conservatories at home, meaning the spawn was one-sided. Thanks to the opponent for the game.
