14.04.2013 Defiant (blue, Fortress, Wystan, Wystan) def GoedenDag (red, Tower, Neela, Neela) 134 Panic
The respawn turned out quite large. Right next to the castle behind the mummies was a cons-level 1, then on the respawn 3 arenas were found with easy guards, an external dwelling of wyverns, gnolls, and lizards. The latter spawned pretty well, so by the first week everything was being killed briskly with a decent stack of 40 gr. lizardmen. On week 1, 1235 in the citadel. On week 2, with the growth, I jump into a portal, on the other side I take a Necro secondary, enter the stables, jump into another portal, take a Castle secondary, an external dwelling of horses, 2 pandoras for minotaurs and wyverns — one gives all level 2 spells, the other gives 40 marksmen. On day 131, I bring the growth from the castle, buy horses, upgrade them in the stables, pick up a Barbarian secondary along the way, Wystan on speed boost before 10-19 scorpicores. Suddenly, on his turn, the opponent breaks through the scorpicore, kills 2 weaklings with 2 unupgraded nagas, and attacks Wystan. I buy him out. On my turn, I transfer the army and attack. Stats: 10 11 3 3 (30), army: 29 marksmen, 4 champions, 1 angel, 16 wyverns, 71 gr. lizardmen, 1 fly, and a stack of gnolls. The opponent with expert tactics runs away but surrenders, since he lost everything breaking through the blocks.

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game.

Battle of the cats :D

15.04.2013 Memfis (blue, Fortress, Mirlanda, Pire) def Vovka86 (red, Castle, Turis, Turis) Jebus Cross, 221

I played a random town, took 2 restarts, then got Fortress. I thought at least let me try to play a normal town. In the end, a bare respawn: 1 Dragon Fly Hive on 4 and a Pandora's Box with 45 gr. Lizardmen, and no external dwellings at all, only Gnolls. Only on 131 did I get to the center, breaking 68 Nagas with a gr. stack without Oil. There it's also bad - few Dragon Fly Hives, I gathered only 46 Wyverns in total. I took 5 Upgraded 4-unit dwellings, 1 basic 4-unit dwelling, 1 basic 5-unit dwelling, a Pandora's Box with 8 Giants. I attacked my opponent, who didn't see me, lost almost all Hydras and Giants, killed Champions and 8 Archangels, I'm losing in stats except for magic. The next time, the opponent handed me an opportunity with a Cloak of the Condemned and 9 Archangels, he killed all my Dwarves, but forgot to put on the Shackles of War, so I run away. On 217, I see the opponent's main with 1 Pikeman, and next to it an external Knight dwelling, I take 4 Knights and capture the main. Concession, as he doesn't have time to reclaim his main on his turn.
Lucky, thanks for the game.

I played for a random town, took 2 restarts, then got Fortress, figured I'd at least try to play a normal town. Ended up with a bare respawn: 1 Dragon Fly Hive for 4 and a Pandora's Box with 45 mighty gorgons, and no external dwellings at all, only gnolls. Only on day 1, month 3, week 1 did I make it to the center, breaking 68 nagas with a mighty stack without oil, and it was bad there too - few Dragon Fly Hives, I gathered only 46 wyverns total. I took 5 drowners, 4 ones, 1 two, a Pandora's Box with 8 giants. I attacked my opponent, who didn't see me, lost almost all hydras and giants, killed champions and 8 archangels, I'm losing on parameters, except for magic. Next time the opponent exposed himself with the Cloak of the Undead King and 9 archangels, killed all my ducks, but forgot to put on the Shackles of War, so I run away. On day 2, month 1, week 7 I see my opponent's main with 1 pikeman, and next to it a Knight external dwelling, I take 4 knights and capture the main. Concede, as he doesn't have time to reclaim his main on his turn.
Lucky, thanks for the game.

I confirm, thanks for the game.
Next time I'll be more careful watching my main(, especially on the 7th day of the week:D

Hack rules.

A catfight :D

It's the perfect season for it. On Saturday, my brother and I were running errands, and in the middle of the road, there were two cats having a fight, completely ignoring the cars driving around them.

04/16/2013 Wladysha (red, random, Tower, Piguegram, Brissa) def. Javdet (blue, random, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) 126 2sm2c

gave up a lot of gold, on turn 123, broke through the enemy's defenses, and the battle took place in the opponent's castle; an even exchange, and then, three days later, the opponent surrendered.

Surrendered a lot of gold, broke the enemy's gate on day 123, and the battle took place in the opponent's castle. An even exchange, and then, three days later, the surrender.

I enjoyed the game! Vlad went all-in, brought a bunch of mages under the castle, and crushed him with harpies. Respect!))

Thanks for the game.

04/16/2013 Defiant (Dungeon, Shakti, Nymus) def Gallicij (Castle, Valeska, Gurnisson) Jebus Cross 127
I took 1 rest, the opponent took none.
I immediately see a prison near the Castle with 20-49 combat gnomes. I take it with Shakti and about 120 troglodytes, and then! Nymus is level 10, an expert in logistics, offense, ranged attack, and advanced armor. I give her all the troops, run down, take a refuge with 20-49 gargoyles, kill them, and there are unique units :). I run further, see 2 artifacts right on the road, 1 guarded by griffins (he didn't attack, for some reason, although he should have), the other guarded by a hundred zombies. I defeat the zombies, take the artifact - it's a minimal one. I run further, see another artifact guarded by 20-49 ordinary griffins (I'm really lucky with the Hive guards) and a Pandora guarded by demons. The location and terrain are not very convenient, there's a 1-day difference in 5 heroes, I hope the opponent doesn't restart. On day 112, I go for the artifact guarded by griffins - it's the maximum one. In an auto-battle, I lose all 4 vipers, both unique units, and 35 troglodytes. I decide to try to handle it myself. I "handled" it - I lost the same amount, only a few more troglodytes. With 12 vipers and a few units, I take the Pandora, but it's empty :( . I transfer the army, Shakti takes the Crypt, defends the treasures, and I immediately burn 2 health artifacts: a potion and a ring, as well as a sphere of fire. In the next few days, I gather resources, take secondary artifacts, Nymus is persistently not given either earth or air magic, although otherwise, the hero is very strong. But suddenly, in the Tomb, I find a book of fire, and Nymus is given fire magic, and then I remember that I also found a sphere of fire. Thoughts of upgrading a mage, about armageddon, etc., come to mind, but in the end, all of this turned out to be the most useless thing. Next, I take a couple more Hives, break into the Castle, take a shield +6 and a Pandora guarded by unique units (I get 5k experience), health artifacts, a sphere, and stand before a Great Obelisk (100-249 liches). 40 mana, stats 10 14 4 4 (40), army: 36 archers, 1 angel, 7 grand minotaurs, 24 grand medusas, ~80 grand troglodytes + a few harpies. I defeat the Great Obelisk at 125 with the loss of an angel, 1 viper, and almost all the meat. Next, I immediately take a lair with 69 gorgons for an artifact, medusa huts, and a bag of gold, I leave the troglodytes there, then I fight 9 Cyclops for a teapot and another artifact. In the end: stats 17 21 10 10, 47 vipers. On the next turn, I get a good Nagash with experience in earth magic and 200 mana, I send scouts ahead, but on my turn, I receive a message about a surrender - the opponent couldn't handle the Great Obelisk.

Thank you for the game!

confirm, it probably went okay, on the first day there were probably 7 heroes. had a lot of gold, put angels in the citadel. from the pickups: spears, griffins, monks, horses, only took the spears)) by day 117 practically two secondary heroes, one step short of the second, found a Griffin Conservatory triple on the respawn, two awkwardly placed Dragon Fly Hives and a Dragon Utopia (didn't even check it), found a GO 50-99 Sultan of Ifrits. later found 50-99 Scorpicores on the rough terrain, thought it was clearly better, for some reason attacked the Scorpicores on day 127, there were 78 of them, from the army only 5 angels and 44 marksmen, result is known))

Thank you for the games and your time.

04/17/2013 wariator (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def Snooppy (red, Dungeon, Shakti) 124 spider 200%! The presence of an external market made it possible to build unique units, although in this case, I think that based on the feedback, it would have been enough strength even without them to defeat the Miner! Thank you for the game!

Playing with 2 stacks underground, 2 native heroes in the tower, and a stash of troglodytes under the castle – that’s how I decided to play. But I was short on money, and for the first 4 days, I wandered around the castle with a Miner, not achieving much. Finally, I took 2 chests from the dwarves, which allowed me to buy another hero and invest a thousand gold. After that, things got easier. But I didn’t upgrade the troglodytes or get a spellbook, which was a mistake... In the second week, I captured a dungeon with a native hero, and I had 200+ units, but I didn’t manage to reach the elves’ fortress in time... Haste would have been really helpful...

Thanks for the game!
