Thank you for the game!

21.04.2013 Attila (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) lose Jopik (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran)JC, 212
We played around until we got Necro, Dungeon, Rampart; the opponent has Dungeon, I'm fine with it, let's collect some bones. I take 1 restart, opponent-0, we play. The situation is sad, if not for one thing — a spellbook of Earth for 50-99 swordsmen, I couldn't skip that (other goodies included a Dragon Fly Hive, a Pandora's Box for 50-99 nomads, as it turned out, there were a hundred of them). Few skeletons came from the start, I didn't build the converter because a non-native Rampart hero showed up, and all the gold naturally went into speeding up development.
111 Useless running around with Goshane, thought about taking the dwarf dwelling, turned out to be max-level, didn't go for it
112 I collect gold, necromancy isn't working out very well, I scout a Pendant of +1 Speed, behind Grand Elves 10-19, I go in, 60 skeletons remain — sad. I reach the GO, the GO is free — 10-19 group of hydras… not so fast, behind the hydras are Archangels, not planning an early exit
113-117 Running around, scouting, I reveal a Pandora's Box for 20-49 groups of Ogres, I wasted a scout to see how many there are, 35 of them, very few skeletons left, not going in yet. I reveal an external dwelling of horses, deliver various junk like ghosts, zombies, take it. 4 horses, 100 skeletons fight the ogres, ghosts are there too. I take the first Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns, in it, due to lack of movement and inability to bring the scout, I lose 40 skeletons, I scout a Pandora's Box for 10-19 Cyclopes, I go in, there are only 10 of them, lucky, I give away fat archers from a secondary hero, they give 10k gold, I split my forces and stand right next to the nomads. A tasty corner is revealed with two Dragon Fly Hives, a Dragon Utopia, a Cape of +2 Speed and (!!) a Hat, the Hat turned out to be in a terrible spot and I regretted it so much later for not building a chain to it immediately, thinking why do I need it when I have the spellbook of Earth (considering I had Expert Air, I can only explain this illogical decision by the fact that running there was really, really far)
121 100 nomads are killed, 15k experience, Goshane levels up perfectly, the second Dragon Fly Hive is taken. The scout gets the spellbook of Earth.
122-124 I run and collect Dragon Fly Hives, +2 to Speed, I break the Dragon Utopia. Unfortunately, the Dragon Utopia is a tier-1 one, I take it without losses, it gives Shield 12, +3+3 to Knowledge and Spell Power. The opponent breaks the GO, and I only plan to exit on day 127.
127 400 skeletons, 25 Wyrms, 11 horses kill the Archangels without losses. But… my inattentiveness let me down, I used previews, but, as it turned out, very poorly, and I realized what happened when I saw everything with my own eyes, the Treasury wasn't very rich for me:

There's no path to the opponent, I hastily build a very crude chain of 5 heroes to get the Hat and fly into the Treasury

134 fly into the Treasury, ran around, wasted all the mana, went home
134-137 Pointless running around and teleportations, sometimes to the Treasury, sometimes home, I reveal the last artifact for a combined artifact for mana and a Cuirass, on the last moves I beat the guard, a "miner" (opponent hero) runs over and grabs my Cuirass (he kindly leaves me the mana artifact), but what's scary isn't that, but that I see he has 7 Black Dragons in different stacks and a considerable Spell Power is visible in the tavern. The "miner" stands right next to my hero, I only pray that he doesn't have enough moves and, oh miracle, he doesn't attack, I Town Portal home to gobble up other respawns… As it turned out, the opponent played me for a fool. He didn't have Black Dragons, he used the Disguise skill. I had never seen that before, awesome =)

137-212 In summary, I collected some bones, found the Red Ball! And won. Thanks for the interesting game

21.04.2013 Attila (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) lose Jopik (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran)JC, 212

Confirmed.
Week 1: I take the external dwelling of dragons near the Castle at 111 (at 112 I Town Portal'd the second one). It clears out fine — I take two Dragon Fly Hives 6+8, the external dwelling of cats. 35 upgraded Eyes in the Pandora's Box.
Week 2: Necklace +3+3, armor +1 all. Shakti Expert Air (Earth magic was never offered until the end of the game :( ). I decide to hit the GO.
GO Arch Devils, I engaged at 126. I rushed it, should have done it on week 3 probably. I lost my entire army except for 1 (one!!!) upgraded Eye with 15 HP. :D In the wastes, with the remaining strength I took a Pandora's Box with 80 devils and then a Dragon Fly Hive +8. I turn back home. Time to write GG, but I decide to keep playing, reinforcements are coming soon. Hope lies in Armageddon and the blacks. Luckily, the Ball of Fire is spawned at my home respawn.
Week 3: I take the home Dragon Utopia. The Dragon Utopia gives me a Sword +6, Book of Fire!!!, losses — one dragon :mad: and some fodder. I find Scrolls of Flight and Dimension Door, a Pandora's Box with all level 4 magic, I build the mage guild level 5. In the wastes I take the Inferno Castle, a scout hero for scouting, the blue player is visible with an army with one Armageddon :smile08: , I urgently need the dragon upgrade. I run a scout hero for the Ball of Fire but miscalculated the distance and the Town Portal of my town portals me back to the wastes((( Then Galthran shows up, he broke the guard of the Titan's Cuirass, the scout hero seems to reach it. My army is 4 reds. I take the Cuirass from under his nose and activate Stealth, hoping he won't attack :p On his turn, the opponent was scared of Armageddon and Town Portaled home.
Week 4. Time is not on my side... I lose two days to get my scout hero home, double my mana, upgrade the dragons, approach the wastes from the rear with an army of 8 blacks hoping for artifacts +sp. I took a Dragon Utopia +4 all, Sword +6 all, lost 2 dragons(((
Week 5. I run around the universities, exposing myself, since there's no point in stalling — with Chromatic Dragon I have zero chance, and if not, I would have fought — mana almost 700. Galthran catches me with Chromatic Dragon. Basically GG.
Thanks for the game and for your time.

Liverpooler (blue, Castle, Crag) def Grizvald (red, Swamp, Tazar) 137 2SM4d

Confirmed. Thank you for the game.

21.04.2013 Attila (red, Castle, Valesca, Edric) def Angry russian man (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2SM4D(3), 132
He gave up 2 griffon stacks and one cavalry stack. He traded resources and placed 127 angels in the castle, but didn't manage to buy them because the opponent arrived. On turn 131, he only bought griffons and cavalry, took a level 3 consul, and positioned himself in the passage to the main base. The opponent attacks. In the first battle, I made a mistake and didn't block the elves with angels, which almost cost me the game, but in the end, the griffons under Edric prevailed. Thanks for the game.

Confirmed. In the Fort Battle, I was unlucky that the unicorns never blinded the champions. Before the Fort Battle, I forgot to give Kyrre the blessing scroll. 45 grand units already did a good amount of damage, but it would have been better with the blessing + I didn't expect to see 50+ griffons from the opponent.

Thanks for the game, I hope for a rematch.

21.04.2013 zoog (red, castle, Valeska, Aislinn) lose Co6oJIb (blue, rampart, Kyrre) diamond, 132
We ran out of restorations, but it turned out not bad - 2 roads and Aislinn. True, she experted Necro only at level 12.. when Kyrre already arrived with 6 angels. But for some reason he didn't start killing, I ran from him for a while, managed to grab a couple of hives and Griffin Conservatories and fell to an explosion at 1700
If I hadn't gone to the 1st computer spot and taken the native Griffin Conservatories faster - maybe there would have been a chance against 2 native towns and 3700MP.
Thank you for the game and the auto)

21.04.2013 zoog (red, castle, Valeska, Aislinn) lose Co6oJIb (blue, rampart, Kyrre) diamond, 132
We were left without resurrections, but it wasn't bad - 2 roads and Aislinn. Though she only expertized necromancy at 12.. when Kyrre already came with 6 angels. But for some reason he didn't attack, I kept running from him, managed to grab a couple of beehives and a conservatory and fell to an implosion at 1700
If I hadn't run to the first computer and grabbed my native conservatories faster - maybe there would have been a chance against 2 native towns and 3700MP.
Thanks for the game and auto)

Confirmed. On the first turn I built up to pegasi, little gold, nowhere much to get gold. But 2 external dwellings of centaurs, elves and a native secondary hero + Kyrre gave me earth immediately. At 121 I took the cap of all 5th level magic and positioned myself in the path from the opponent's castle. Aislinn holed up in the castle, I didn't dare attack him in the castle with almost no mana. I ran around and gathered implosion at 1700, then attacked. Thanks for the game.

21.04.2013 Grisha =) (red, Castle, Crag, Crag) def GoedenDag (blue, Inferno, Kalh, Kalh) 2sm4d(3), 124

Week 1: I light the Great Owl beacon on the road, two roads lead to secondary archers, I move along the road, take a nymph and a cyclops lair.
Week 2: Encounter on the road, support from the castle doesn't arrive, the opponent attacks, I buy out units. I buy a gnome, buy out everything I can, upgrade the roc, eliminate two archers, and move close to the opponent's main castle. The opponent's chain doesn't allow him to become the main hero in the castle, so he surrenders.

Thanks for the game.

Grizvald - Confirmed. Thanks for the game.

Here are the modern reports, damn it:mad: I would, in the place of those in power:D, not accept such reports at all, because this is not a report, but who knows what:smile48:

Here are the modern reports, damn it:mad: If I were in charge, I wouldn't even accept such reports, because it's not a report, but who knows what:smile48:

If there was something special, then you could write a long "report". But as it is, you lose because of mistakes, which negatively affects morale, and you don't really feel like writing anything... Sorry, we're just noobs :smile32:

Even if nothing epic happened, you can still analyze the mistakes or the path to victory.

22.04.2013 The_ (red, Citadel, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Grizvald (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre, Gundula) Jebus Cross 141

First week: just ran around and was frustrated about the respawn, no restorations, one external dwelling of freaks behind a block of 50-99 gold golems (a Pandora's Box was behind them too), one external dwelling of goblins, and an external dwelling of birds off-road, two days' travel. There were two Dragon Fly Hives around the external dwelling - lucky, that's what saved me probably, 12 in one and 8 in the other. In the Castle: 123457.

Second week: things get more fun, a couple more Pandora's Boxes, an external dwelling of bears, another Dragon Fly Hive with 8 flies, Crag Hack has excellent leveling, but instead of Earth or Air they gave Fire =(. Because of that, I skip Wisdom, take Armorer, so in the end I never got Wisdom, but Air and Earth were given as the last two talents.

Third week: went out to the center on 127-131, immediately take the Castle, eat another couple of Dragon Fly Hives, also dense 6+8, but no Air View, that's the problem, have to just take the fattest points for now, took three Dragon Utopias, 4 Pandora's Boxes (30k experience + 5+5 angels =))). Anyway, I'm eating the center as much as possible all week and building Archangels, though I think I could have finished about 5 days earlier, the opponent was losing by almost double in stats. During this time, the opponent with wings also takes Dragon Utopias, I realize I can't delay, I garrison Crag Hack in the Castle and wait for the opponent to go to the nearest Dragon Utopia, after that I catch him, shackles + explosion for 2k damage win the fight. As for the army (attacking without growth of course), there were 40 flies, 7 silver, 40 swordsmen, 10 angels, 100 goblins; the opponent had 25 war unicorns, 30 flies, 6 angels, the army was on Gundula, Kyrre was on a run in the Castle at that time.

Thanks for the game, it was interesting, a good rematch!
