06/19/2013 GUNAR (blue, Rampart, Ivory, Ivory) def. Dima Surmay (red, Dungeon, Shakt, Shakt) m200 Skirmish 124
Thanks for the game.

Confirming, Shakt came with one stack, but decided to play, but the opponent was doing better.
Thanks for the game.

19.06.2013 The_ (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def dom2 (blue, Castle, Waleska, Mullich) JC 117. Excellent setup, 40 ducks on 117, Izra with an amulet and spagoons on Necropolis, 25 greased medusas from the box, two dwell drakes, two cons, Shakti level 15 with stats 12-12-12-10. There's really nowhere to put all this meat. But then a message comes in about a surrender. Thank you for the game.

06/19/2013 The_ (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def dom2 (blue, Castle, Valeska, Mullich) JC 117.

He was careless and made an unsuccessful attack with a weakened stack. Thanks for the game.

06/19/13 Toganash (Red, Swamp, Brogh) lost to Rebellious (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti), 8mm6a, 214. I have no idea how it was possible to win there. Thanks for the game.

19.06.2013. Oldboy (random Castle, random Valeska, Rion) def Ominous1 (random Fortress, randrom Andra, Zydar), Skirmish, 133

111. On the road to the half-way necro village, but near the town there are three piles of gold and an external dwelling of griffins, the second hero in the tavern is a fish specialist, everything works out and Valya with griffins and fish immediately takes the village, and a town hall is built.
113. While Rion runs around in the fields, slowly leveling up and gathering resources on one side of the start, and Lacus on the other, Valya upgrades the archers and also captures a gold mine for 15 pit fiends on their native land.
The beginning is quite good.
Then everything went more calmly. I won the territory overall against the opponent. On the 2nd week I ran through two treasure zones.. in the Conflux one, two boxes of 30 storms dropped, a cheap quest for 5250 exp brought me home, and I leveled up a backup mage whose name history did not preserve.
132. That same mage brought a second quest and got 30 ice elementals. Rion was just standing before the last block to the opponent (18 cyclopes) and went to attack. But as usual, the timer let me down; Rion only advanced 1 tile, fought the cyclopes, and time ran out when the scout hero was transferring to him that part of the army that did not fight the cyclopes... Good thing that out of the scout hero's normal stacks only 9 fire elementals remained, which then died ingloriously the next day. But overall, the move - :fp:
133. The opponent killed the scout hero and ran past into an unexplored treasure zone, managed to grab a Dragon Fly Hive there. And on my turn, a quite interesting final battle.
~30 storms, ~30 ice elementals, ~35 sharpshooters, ~25 griffins, 4 champions, 12 crusaders
vs
15 wyverns, 2 angels, 25 basilisks, 35 greater lizards and flies
parameters were better for Zydar (4-4-6-65 vs 0-3-5-100) but I had oil and some sort of light, the opponent had adv. haste, no light magic
neither side had strong spells
with adv. haste, both wyverns and basilisks were faster than all my stacks (and also stronger :) ), and I only managed to pull it off with a very small advantage; essentially only the griffins survived

thanks for another interesting game

19.06.13 Toganash (Red, Swamp, Brogh) lose Rebellious (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti), 8mm6a, 214.
I have no idea how it was possible to win there.
Thx for the game.

The RNG was crazy. Starting village with a bunch of external buildings, including two dragon ones, and the Dragon Utopia home with wings and the Earth book. Plus the scrolls were all things like town portal, berserk. Thanks for the game.

06/19/2013. Oldboy (random Castle, random Valeska, Rion) def Ominous1 (random Fortress, random Andra, Zydar), Skirmish, 133

Confirmed.

06/18/2013 Grisha =) (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala) def darkello (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) JC 125

on turn 124, I break through with a group of archangels, then 3 rusty dragons for a consolation prize and Pandora (20k). Mephala is level 18+. I just started a crazy leveling spree in the Treasure and the opponent gave up; I don't know why I was playing with this noob :D

thanks for the game.

20.06.2013 Gomunguls(Blue,random,Stronghold,Gurnisson,Gurnisson)def Maretti(Red,random,Dungeon,Jedid,Damacon)8mm6a,2.2.6
It was a long and tough game! On the first week I built 1-5 with an Ogre external dwelling in the castle, and around the end of the first week I scouted the opponent and went there, but after killing only a scout hero I returned... There are 4 Griffin Conservatories in different parts of the map; by week 1, day 2, 4, I cleared them all, lost a couple of Angels, 6 remaining... On day 1, week 2, I entered a 3-stack Dragon Utopia and came out with all Angels and 2 Wyverns; it gave a Helm +6 all and a Tome of Fire, and I set up creatures. Then on day 1, week 3, month 2, a max Dragon Utopia appears; I have 8 Angels; in the max I got Armor +4+4 and a Red Orb and Helm +4+4, went for the opponent, captured Rampart, gave Luna with upgraded Logistics the Tome of Fire and Helm +4+4, and sacrificed her at the opponent's castle... After a while I saw that there is Control and Town Portal there, which became sad; the wanderings in search of good items began, so many Dragon Utopias and scrolls were encountered later, but I never found Town Portal. However, it was in the captured town, and Gurni cannot learn it, he's a bit dim, but already strong)) Scout heroes learn it, and with their help I made life easier... Then we started fighting, capturing towns; I killed a couple of powerful scout heroes who were holding tempo there and holed up in the Dungeon. They attack me; I have the Red Orb and stats 38 24, they have 32 36 + Elixir of Life... The opponent makes a mistake by placing Wyverns and Minotaurs vulnerable to Fire Blast, and having speed advantage in the first and second rounds, I lunge at everyone behind the gate. Then, after receiving a strong counter, I retreat into the castle; the Angels, Wyverns, Scorpicores follow me... A battle in the town where 14 of my Angels remain, 5 of the opponent's, and 1 of my Behemoths; the Angels get Lucky and I take down 5 Angels... I place the Behemoth in the moat where the Hydras were already breaking through, and they kill it, but I take down the catapult... The first Final Battle is won. Then I started leveling Gurni, grabbed a mini Griffin Conservatory; the opponent and I gathered everything left in the towns; I snatched the Golden Bow and now I'm storming the Swamp; I push to the gate and start shooting. After the Ballista killed a Hydra with one shot, the opponent surrendered.
P.S. I heavily burned the timer; before the last Final Battle there were 10 seconds left O_o! Ballista rules))
Thanks for the interesting game!!!

20.06.2013 Tovariщ (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Sevan_80 (red, Castle, Vala, Vala) 2sm4d(3) 122.

On the first turn I took General secondary (Rampart), Dwarf Cottage 15 and leveled Kyrre and Ivor well. It seems ГО was on no-road and on turn 117 I stood at the portal to my opponent to rush. On turn 121 I bought as much as I could and captured my opponent's main. On turn 122 Turin attacks - ГГ.

Thanks for the game!

20.06.2013 Tovariщ (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Sevan_80 (red, Castle, Valya, Valya) 2sm4d(3) 122.

On the first day I took General secondary skill (Rampart), Dwarf Cottage 15 and leveled Kyrre and Ivor well. ГО was apparently along the roadless terrain, and on 117 I stood at the portal to the opponent to rush. On 121 I buy as much as I can and take the opponent's main. On 122 Turis attacks - ГГ.

Thanks for the game!

There was, 2 stacks of marksmen, a distant stack of angels, though the horses didn't align and the opponent didn't let me realize it, thanks for the game

20.06.2013. Ominous1 (blue, Dungeon, Moandor, Moandor) def shameonyou (red, Inferno, Arlash, Arlash), Balance M, 135

Very little gold was generated, I immediately captured my own village. In the tavern I recruited the necro Moandor, and he became the main hero. On the second day I captured a necropolis town and built a Converter there, making about 300 bones. Moandor with Expert Earth could break through anything he wanted. On the third day we fought it out with low-tier units, I also completed a quest for 15k experience and went to the treasure zone. In the treasure zone I ate 3 hives and the opponent attacks. He has lvl 9 Arlash with Expert Earth, 5 angels :eek: , 7 efreet sultans, under 50 magogs, under 40 horned demons. I have Moandor at lvl 17, 26 harpies, 25 greater Evil Eyes, 250 skeletons, harpies. We fought, I had about 20 Evil Eyes and 40 skeletons left.
Thanks for the game.

20.06.2013. Ominous1 (blue, Dungeon, Moandor, Moandor) def shameonyou (red, Inferno, Arlach, Arlach), Balance M, 135

I got very little money from dwellings, immediately captured my own village. In the tavern I recruited necro Moandor, who became the main hero. On the second day I captured a necro town and built a Converter there, made around 300 skeletons. Moandor with expert Earth could break anything he wanted. On the third day we fought with weak stacks, I also completed a quest for 15k exp, went into the treasure zone. In the treasure zone I ate 3 hives and the opponent attacks. There was lvl 9 Arlach with expert Earth, 5 angels :eek: , 7 efreet sultans, around 50 magogs, around 40 horned demons. I had Moandor at lvl 17, 26 wyverns, 25 greater evil eyes, 250 skeletons, harpies. We fought, I had about 20 evil eyes and 40 skeletons left.
Thanks for the game.

I confirm. The matchup was great, really unpleasant to lose like that :( . On the respawn there was an external dwelling of demons, a Griffin Conservatory tier 3 with a Guardian Spirit, on the neighboring respawn a Dungeon. On the first day I portal to demons, getting a decent stack. On the second day I take the tier 2 Griffin Conservatory on the Dungeon respawn, it gives Earth, then tier 3 on my home respawn, then I start playing catch-up with the opponent instead of just taking his towns :confused: . In the end the opponent got into the treasure zone before me, having collected 26 wyverns. The final fight was tough, but losing for me, because the opponent had 90 mana, while I only had 20. Thanks for the interesting game.
