Could you share the save files? It's not every day that someone breaks the Grand Order on Arch difficulty at level 124.

The correct term is not "conservatory," but "grift shop." :smile12:

Can I take a look at the save files? It's not every day that someone defeats 124 Archangels in a Castle map.

Guys, play in your super league and don't bother opponents that you are far superior to. Defeating 20 Archangels on level 124 (on a Castle map) is so ridiculous that I didn't even continue the game. Is it even possible to achieve such a thing without using cheat programs or just being incredibly skilled?
I have serious doubts that you were playing by the rules.

I haven't looked at the save files, but I don't see any reason to be surprised. Judging by the report, there were about 10 angels there. Judging by the maximum console command used on level 122, it's clear that there were some hidden units/parameters/experience boosts.

We close in on the tactic using angels and knights, with an additional layer of cover on top. We cast a spell like mass shield. While the archers are dealing with the cover, they are shot down by the knights, and the angels take down the stack of archers in one hit. The battle is quite simple, with approximate losses of something like: all the cover units, a few knights, and maybe 1 angel.

And there were probably not 20 archers there, but a little less.

I see the difficulty not in breaking the Guardian of Order, but in the maximum console command on level 122; after that, it's just easy.

I remember Wlk777 started with similar posts :)

Opp took 2 rests, I didn't take rests, I was dealt an "empty" wood mine and many shooter blocks, but an external elf dwelling and lots of gold. On week 1, days 1-6 in the castle, Ivor got Earth magic. On week 2, I leveled the hero, built Dragon Flies (still had 20k gold left), but I don't see cons and only have 1 Dragon Fly Hive, and that one is with Efreeti. On week 3, I pick up Boots, finish leveling Earth magic, break through ГО from Lord Pits, and on day 137 attack the opp's castle, make a couple of mistakes in the battle, but manage to win. On day 141, I bring up the Dragon Flies, but opp surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

We played for a long time, I don't remember exactly.
It seems that on day 3, I took his Castle using a Guardian Angel because the treasure was far away, and I didn't know what to do. But then he came back, and I, fearing his stats, fled to his secondary Inferno Castle. On day 141, I didn't have enough movement points to reach his Castle and return – in the end, he gained everything. Then I messed up again with Korback when transferring troops, and instead of attacking him, I attacked with my entire army. It's inconvenient to use auto-attack in ranked games. I realized that 2 days were lost because there was no one to attack on the first day. I wanted to write "gg" already, but I persevered. The next day, his hero ran towards me, and I fled upwards on the map, hoping to find a passage to my secondary Swamp Castle – although that would still have been a loss because I didn't know where to go to gain stats, troops, and money. But there was a portal to the Underground, I went down – I saw that I could go further and emerge with my secondary Castle. Along the way, I took the Utopia creature – which ultimately decided everything. I got the Earth book, a shield with +all stats, and nearby in Vandoria, there was a lot of Air magic. Then I took the Castles, gathered troops, and went for the Final Battle – I had twice as much magic and mana as my opponent, and besides, I was in a Castle, and he had to attack anyway because he would "disappear."
Thanks for the game.

It's not difficult to break through on the 2nd week with maxicons, half of the players can do it.

They're not accusing him of cheating, but of cloning.

He posted the saves. Try to take that max Griffin Conservatory on 122 with losses like his. I'm not a weak player, it seems, but even I couldn't achieve losses like his in five attempts. Taking it is possible, but the losses are significant. I'm not asserting anything, I'd just like to know how it's taken with zero loss of archers (not a single one lost). They don't get covered on the first turn... at least for me. Explain this for those who can manage it.

04/06/13 Hydra (Blue, Conflux, random, Aisylin) def LEXMASTER (Red, Fortress, Wystan, Crag) 127 2sm4d(3)

111 - Asya and Monk in the tavern. Asya to Mamas without question. 50 skeletons, 4th level.
113 - Griffin Conservatory #1 with the loss of 1 air elemental and a couple dozen skeletons.
122 - Griffin Conservatory #2 without losses (no deaths), Dragon Fly Hive at 8.
125 - Breaking through the Faeries guarding the Dragon Utopia and Shield +12, taking the Dragon Utopia itself, stats 13 20 18 + hat, 5th level.
127 - Arrived at the opponent's respawn, scouting me with a scout hero: 3 Angels, 32 Dwarves, 400 Skeletons, stats, Shaver — surrenders.
Thanks for the game!

Here's how I took it down: Knights in the first slot, archers in the third, swordsmen in the sixth, and spearmen in the fourth. This arrangement is necessary to block the crossbowmen in the lower left corner. The knights and crossbowmen wait, the swordsmen move into position in the corner, and the spearmen charge into the weakened stack, followed by the crossbowmen and knights into the corner. The knights don't quite reach, so in the second round, the weakened stack moves to the correct cell. The crossbowmen wait, the melee units kill the weakened stack, and the knights close in on the crossbowmen in the next round. The remaining birds are shot down, and the meat tank absorbs the damage. It's all quite simple.

Everything works as he described. In the first turn, the swordsmen get the advantage. The upper-left stack hits the horses. The right stacks eliminate the units with 1 health. Then, follow the instructions. Why a screenshot when you can try playing it out as described?

Let me explain how I did it: Horses in the first slot, archers in the third, swordsmen in the sixth, and spearmen in the fourth. This arrangement is necessary to block the crossbowmen in the lower left corner. The horses and crossbowmen wait, the swordsmen move into position in the corner, the spearmen attack the gray stack, and the crossbowmen and horses move into the corner. The horses don't reach, so in the second round, the gray stack moves to the correct cell. The crossbowmen wait, the melee units kill the gray stack, and the horses block the crossbowmen in the next round. The remaining birds are shot down, and the meat tank takes the damage.
