Thank you for the game.

07/02/2013. Roger-ua (red, Castle, Crag, Crag) def Pridu (blue, Tower, Halon, Mephala) 2sm4d(3).122.
Awarded 3 second-level creatures. In the first week, 123457 creatures were in the castle, and 2 second-level creatures were awarded. On turn 122, the opponent surrendered (due to a lack of prospects).
Thank you for the game!

07/02/2013. Roger-ua (red, Castle, Crag, Crag) def Pridu (blue, Tower, Halon, Mephala) 2sm4d(3).122.
Gave out 3 second-tier creatures. In the first week, 123457 in the castle and 2 second-tier creatures. On day 122, the opponent surrendered (due to a lack of prospects).
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed, I was thinking of restarting on the first day. There are no Gargoyles, and the stones aren't visible, but there is a stash of Gremlins and Djinns. Okay, I'll play. On the second day, I realize that the opponent is nearby. I see a nearby Growth Orb and by the third day, I'm thinking of going to break up the Monk pack in the Barbarian zone, take the castle, build birds, and find the stones. I'm leveling up Mephala for this purpose. But the castle turns out to be far away, and by this point, the opponent already has three castles... In general, it's hopeless. I surrender.

01.07.2013 shameonyou (red, Citadel, Terek, Crag Hack) def. Ominous1 (blue, Inferno, Rasha, Shakti) Balance 131

Both spent all their restarts.
111. I grab the Citadel, starting Terek, stacks are normal, hounds are standing. But there's NOTHING on the respawn except for 2 piles of gold and a chest. Only 2 heroes.

112. Nothing special happens. Having boosted at stables, I collect those 3 piles, the chest, wood, slowly trying to buy hounds from 2 castles.

113. Still 2 heroes. I position Terek next to the guard of the secondary town — behind a horde of up Troglodytes, and on broken ground to boot.

114. I break through the Troglodytes. Still a long way to slog to the secondary :( . I build and buy birds, barely had enough money.

115. Barely made it to the secondary, the portal guard to the necropolis town is a group of Pit Fiends, we break through. Still on 2 heroes :smile13: .

116. I build the Citadel, run around looking for freebies, but there are none.

117. Oh miracle, I buy a third hero :smile20: , I recruit Hobgoblins.

121. I recruit Harpies, try to buy them up, only 40 for now. I head towards breaking the portal.

122. Crag arrives, good. I buy him out, decide to hit the Pit Fiends with him. Bought and upgraded all the hounds — 63 Harpies, not bad. I see 5-9 Bone Dragons in the sands, but was afraid to hit them because of the Gold Golem.

123. The Pit Fiends fall without problems, I emerge on the other side — 5-9 Efreet, tolerable. I boost morale before them.

124. I break through 7 Efreet in 1 stack, unfortunately due to the terrain I couldn't strike immediately with the Harpies, had to lose 37 Fairies, oh well. Right at the exit, almost instantly a lookout, I check, see 2 Griffin Conservatories standing close by, break through the Trolls blocking the path (guard of the portal to the opponent), I don't check the other side to avoid being seen (but the opponent saw me anyway, as it turned out :D).

125. Both Conservatories turn out to be level 1. Took them with almost no losses. In my pocket: 2 Angels, 63 Harpies, 6 Birds. I'm thinking about going into the treasure zone, the guard is 5-9 Naga Queens, and right there I can see 5 Hives :D .

126. I buy everyone left in the castle, bring them up. I caught a glimpse of Shakti — riding around on Efreet)

127. Fatal inattentiveness, I don't know how it happened, but I didn't notice Shakti standing somewhere 10 tiles from Crag, and he takes all my treasury except for 2 Angels. I only notice him when all my heroes' turns are over, no money to buy another one :smile04: . I trade everything down to zero to buy myself back. And here I got lucky — after my buyback, the opponent was 1 tile short of reaching the treasury :D , though that's also his fault — he went to hit nomads nearby. Anyway, a close call)

131. I rebuy in a nearby necro town and attack Shakti. In the final battle, the opponent didn't get a single morale despite positive morale +3 :D . Meanwhile, I got morale every other turn. Insane luck. Thanks to that — victory. Thanks for the game!

There was such a game

Thanks for playing.

07/02/2013. Roger-ua (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Amigo-sasha (blue, Stronghold, Krag, Krag) 2sm4d(3). 134.
We started without rests. A good sign was taking the maximum number of skeletons, although for the umpteenth time the vampires don't go for the serpent formation and, after waiting, fly to the archers. In the first week, I built 123456 in the castle and took the secondary town. There was an attempt to take the gorgon's lair, but 16 archers, despite having an archer with 30 attack, weren't enough. On day 134, Tazar reached Krag, and a front battle took place. Tazar 8 8 7 90 (3 angels, 29 wyverns, 22 gorgons, 20 serpents, 18 wasps, 39 lizardmen, 3 hydras) against Krag 12 4 4 16 (13 cyclops, 2 groups of birds, 2 groups of birds, 2 groups of birds, 98 goblins and elite goblins). With 11 goblins, Krag retreated. The opponent said GG.
Thank you for the game.

Thx for gut game!

07/02/2013. Captain (red, Rampart, Ivor) def cuc9ctblu (blue, Castle, Adelaide) Jebus 124. Opponent surrendered on the Global Map. I was dominating in the center. Thanks for the game.

Opponent surrendered on the game over screen, while I was dominating in the center.
Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

07/02/2013. Roger-ua (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Amigo-sasha (blue, Stronghold, Kragg, Kragg) 2sm4d(3). 134.
We started without any rests. A good sign was taking the maximum number of crypts, although, as always, the vampires don't go for the snakes and, after waiting, fly towards the archers. In the first week, I built 123456 in the castle and took a second town. There was an attempt to take a hidden lair of Gorgons, but 16 archers, despite having an archer with 30 attack and 0 defense, were not enough. On day 134, Tazar reached Kragg, and a final battle took place. Tazar 8 8 7 90 (3 Angels, 29 Wyverns, 22 Gorgons, 20 Snakes, 18 Vassals, 39 Green Lizards, 3 Hydras) against Kragg 12 4 4 16 (13 Cyclops, 2 groups of Birds, 2 groups of Birds, 2 groups of Birds, 98 Goblins and 1 Elite Goblin). Kragg retreated with 11 Goblins. The opponent said GG.
Thank you for the game.

Confirmed
The rest was meager, with only 2 roads for gold. One to the opponent, the second to the swamp; the guard was weak, with Phoenixes leveled up to 25.
I wasn't playing seriously; I was watching anime.))
Although, with 2 hidden lairs of Cyclops, I could have played well, considering that I placed them in the first week, not counting the additional +2 Goblins and +1 Knight hidden lair. (If I hadn't rushed and retreated further from the opponent, he would have surrendered, considering that he wanted to take 2 Utopias; he would have been completely crushed. The opponent didn't have an attack skill):cool:
Thank you for the game:smile51:

02.07.2013 BA/IEHOK (blue, random-Taver, random-Serena, Solmyr) def wariator (red, random-Dungeon, random-Gunnar, Gunnar), Balance m200, 132

On the second week I leveled Earth Magic for Solmyr, picked up a single Griffin Conservatory and on week 131 maxed Griffin Conservatory with oil, on 132 another max Griffin Conservatory. The parameters are already decent, ready to break into the opponent, but there's a surrender, their random draw was worse.
Thanks for the game!

I don't remember exactly what the setup was, but judging by everything, it was very good, because I kept urging my opponent to continue. But in the end, we decided to start a new game, which we played for almost a week ).

02.07.2013 The_ (red, citadel, Kreg) def Toganash (blue, Rampart, Mefala) 143 JC.

Since we played in three sessions, I don't remember the beginning well, so I will put four weeks into a couple of sentences.
The respawn gave a double boost, covering half the map; it took three days to reach the gold mine. But there were many hives, preserves, and 3 Dragon Utopias visible. As always in such cases, I decide to ignore the gold mine and focus on building up my forces. In the end, I amassed 7 angels, 60 ducks, about a hundred orcish warlords, about 20 birds, 10 elementals, shamans, and also had stacks of wolves (a hundred) and goblins (a hundred), but they no longer participated in battles. I destroyed two Dragon Utopias, both level five, and got identical items:), two +12 plate armors, two +6 all-resistance helmets, two +5 all-resistance swords :) and a book of fire, which ultimately won me the game.
I left the respawn area on the fourth week :), I had more creatures, roughly equal stats, with Kreg having 10 higher spell power.
The final battle was epic, with explosions of resurrection spells, etc. In the end, when I have 18 birds, 30 ducks, 50 warlords, a couple of bears left, my opponent runs out of mana. On Kreg, he has bracers - he can't escape. And then there is wild spamming of earth elemental summons, with the aim of further resurrection (there was over 400 mana). At first, I almost wrote "gg," but then quickly realized that I have Armageddon and a draw is possible (summoning fire elementals + Armageddon). Then I remembered about that Pandora's Box at the respawn on the entire third level, which I hated so much :). As a result, anti-magic on the ducks, birds, and fire elementals. The opponent continues to spam earth elementals, not expecting Armageddon. In the end, I catch him off guard by the fact that the ducks move first, and at the end of his turn comes the first Armageddon, and at the beginning of the next turn, the second one, which clears out 5 stacks of 74 earth elementals and resurrected titans - gg.

I miraculously got away; in the heat of battle, I completely forgot that earth elementals are immune to Armageddon, but the opponent put on a black shard, which essentially won me the game, it's a very frustrating defeat, my sincere condolences, I would probably break something in the apartment after such a thing :)

Thank you for the game!

I don't remember exactly what the layout was, but it must have been very good, since I spent a long time persuading the opponent to continue. But in the end we decided to start a new one, which we played for almost a week ).

Thanks for the game!

I confirm. I was in a hurry. The guys were gathering for a tournament game and were rushing me. FB Transyl, before the battle a friend advised me to remove the orb, I said forget it, what if he has resistance, I didn't go into detail and think about possible moves in the fight. During the fight, when the opponent summoned fire elementals, I wrote to my friend, 100% Armageddon there, but I have earth elementals immune, so what, completely forgetting about the orb. As a result, after the first Armageddon, I nearly pulled my hair out. Thanks for the game
