Come on. I just lost because I was tired and got frustrated. Who hasn't been overwhelmed by emotions?

That's the point, everyone gets overwhelmed. You need to learn to deal with it. Imagine a football match. The team concedes a couple of goals, dramatically turns around, and walks off the field! Besides, we were talking about disrespect, not emotions.

I always get frustrated :smile04:

Me too. For the first five minutes.

Well, personally, I've never gotten upset and lost my temper because of defeats. Almost never.

I also never get upset about losing a game; I just periodically change my keyboard!

Group H. 25.07.13 Call_of_Fun (red, Inferno, Octavia, Arlash) def Froll off (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti/Luna) 123. 111. 2 native heroes, Pandor for 10-19 horses, a hidden Ifrit, and a Consul later. 114. I take the hidden one. 116. I take the second one. 117. 12456 in Fortress. 121. I exchange, buy, take a Consul, and Pandor (10k experience). 122. I run to the second one. 123. I break through the portal on the way to the second one, appear near the opponent, break through, and take the main one. The army: 100 Imps, 30 (approximately) Gogs, 1 Angel, 9 Ifrits. Stats: 14, 5, 5, 2. I couldn't find any Slow anywhere, even though I had Expert Earth. The opponent writes GG. Thanks for the game.

Group H, 25.07.13. Call_of_Fun (red, Inferno, Octavia, Arlash) defeated Froll off (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti/Luna) 123.

We chose all restarts. Shakti brings 110 Troglodytes and a Spirit of Despair, plus Luna arrives. I give Luna a Serpent from the Swamp hero, the Spirit of Despair, and send her to level up. Luna goes to the right, Shakti to the left. Luna plays excellently, encounters many convenient resource nodes along the way, takes a secondary Necropolis, gets Wisdom, and finishes the game with 8 spell points. Shakti breaks through to another secondary Necropolis, unfortunately gets Wisdom, and levels up poorly, ending up in a huge, sprawling zone where there is nothing but a huge number of Necropolis units of levels 1-2. As it turned out, there were 4 Cons there, but they were SO far away that in two weeks I didn't even manage to scout them, although I was actively exploring. There was a passage to the Treasury, but there was nothing to go there with. Also, there was an artifact giving +2 to speed near the Basilisks, which I didn't manage to take. I didn't go to the portal because I was sure that the opponent was there, and that's where he eventually came from. I decided not to rush, more units arrived from the growth, and I could have gone with Shakti to the Treasury, where there were hives and a hidden Phoenix, but the opponent flew in and took the main town. I only managed to buy Minotaurs. An Angel and 9 Ifrits, plus the stats, forced me to surrender without a fight. Thank you for the game.

The game dragged on terribly, both in in-game and real time.

At the respawn there were two external orc dwellings. I was desperately short on cash and ended up unable to build bears not only on the first week, but even on the second (I was short 47 gold). I decided not to build them at all:) (built ogres instead :D). I only captured a secondary town in the middle of the second week (dungeon, plus more orcs), and saw in the tavern that my opponent's situation wasn't any better. On day 127 I found a large Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia, headed toward the treasure zone, having 86 orcs and a bunch of miscellaneous cannon fodder on the third week. In the treasure zone, right at the entrance, there were two external angel dwellings — I took one, but the other was guarded by firebirds and my quest artifact. I rushed further into the treasure zone — it was a nightmare. Nothing there. In the end, I dug up one Dragon Fly Hive with 6 Wyverns at the far end and took a Pandora's Box (20 Crusaders) with a bowstring behind the hydras. Then I went back, easily took a trio of Griffin Conservatories, entered the Dragon Utopia, sacrificing my angels. In the Dragon Utopia, I got the Book of Fire, Armor +1, the Blackshard of the Dead Knight, and most importantly, 30k gold. From a lookout, I spotted Tazar capturing a Rampart; I realized my chances were good. I turned in the quest artifact (15k experience) and took the Cyclops Stockpile. On day 211, I broke through the GO from the pits (foolishly sacrificing a angel in the process). Tazar holed up in his castle, so I didn't attack; I entered the Arena, and my opponent decided to attack, having 30 mana against my 182 :D. His second skill gave him Intelligence plus a mana fountain; in the fight he cast Berserkers, failing a couple of times with them. But the main fail was when I tried to sacrifice the orcs and resurrect 2 angels, but it turned out the other way around :eek: :smile32: — but the Ogre Mages finished the job anyway. There were about 50 orcs and ogres left. My opponent decided not to surrender. I was afraid to attack the castle, so I started recapturing villages; money immediately poured in like a river (each had a 1000-gold tribute). I replenished my mana, transferred the army (forgot part of the army :o ), but in Tazar's main town the army wasn't scary. Mid-battle, a desync happened; we replayed, another desync; started again, I forgot to pick up one angel, but it didn't matter at all. Two Armageddons with the spell effect 3 :D and a win.

Thanks for the time and the game.

It happened. Also two hives of lizards and also desperately short on gold. The first 2 game weeks were played a month ago, I don't remember. Then - an epic game, marred by 3 epic fails. 1. On week 3 I took a hive of birds for 100+ air elementals on a Conflux secondary hero, but didn't buy them out on week 3. I.e., over 3 game days the need to buy them completely slipped my mind and the gold was just wasted on something else. 2. For some reason I decided not to wait in the Castle, but to rush Hack in the field. But the battle result was quite acceptable, and that's not what's scary. 3. What's scary is that I could have caught Crag Hack when he ran for reinforcements with a couple dozen orcs and the same number of ogre mages. And Tazar was already on another two birds with whatever meat I could buy. But in the evening I didn't rush on the hydras, as I usually did. For some reason. Just stayed in the garrison and that was it. As a result, I was a couple of cells short, and on the next turn Crag Hack already had the power. A simple lack of attention. Opp did well, pulled off a quite unclear situation. Thanks for the game! Good luck in the future!

group B. 28.07.2013 Lem (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Black2185 (red, Inferno, Pyre, Aenain), 2SM4d(3), 133

Took one respawn, opponent took all of his.

At the start, 22 lizardmen, the respawn is very rich: chests, three crypts, and various small fry. Around the respawn, only snow. I break through a path to a secondary area behind the wolves, take a crypt there, then a block, there's an entrance to the underground. I decided to break through to another secondary area. There's also snow there. I captured a tower, gathered a bunch of gold, and started thinking about which underground to go into, but the opponent decided for me and came out of the first exit. I get beaten, buy back, and run to him, but I almost didn't make it — he attacked me first. I had Tazar with 3 9 3 2, he had Aenain with archery at 90, and in the end either I underestimated the mage or overestimated Tazar, but having lost all the dragonflies and most of the lizardmen, I had to buy back. The opponent headed for my castle (131). I bought back decently and killed his scout hero in his chain. Black decides not to attack, but to run to the reinforce point, and on the next turn I attack him myself. He cornered himself and started enduring my archery while gradually shooting down his army. He had little mana, so I managed to win. The opponent fled, and in two turns I reached his main, having taken a well beforehand, just in case. He had no heroes left, and in his Citadel there was a handful of broken gogs sitting inside.

Thanks for the game.

He had little mana, so I eked out a win. My opponent fled, and within two turns I reached his main, having taken a well in advance, just in case. He had no heroes left, and there was a handful of broken gogs sitting in his Citadel.

I confirm

Group H. Lim4 vs Redsnow - a very important game - what's the current situation?

We can't find a time that works for both of us to play. After all the rescheduling, we only have a save from turn 114.
