It was a good win, though there wasn’t a single Dragon Fly Hive, but I leveled up Crag Hack, grabbed a Pandora’s Box with 20 Vaskas, there was a Dungeon and an external dwelling of Hydras; on 121 I break through with weak troops to the Naga Bank(20) and the maximum creature generator and buy everything out... I went to the center, on 122 I broke a prison and then cleared a good chunk of the center along a chain; after that, having a strong army, I decided to eliminate a competitor and attacked Javdet, won the FB battle, and the win followed.
Thank you all for the game!

17.08.2013 Gomunguls (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Crag Hack), The_ (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Javdet (Brown, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) 123
I surrendered well, although there wasn’t a single Dragon Fly Hive, but I leveled up Crag Hack, grabbed a Pandora’s Box with 20 Wasps, there’s a Dungeon and an external dwelling of Hydras, on day 121 I break Naga Guards (20) and the Frenzy and buy out completely... I moved to the center, on day 122 I broke a prison and then cleared a good chunk of the center in a chain, and then having a good army I decided to eliminate the competitor and attacked Javdet, won in the Fb, and surrender followed.
Thanks everyone for the game!

I confirm.

The respawn gave mediocre stuff, from useful things two Pandora’s Boxes with 5k exp each, three Dragon Fly Hives for 16 Wyverns... GO Manticores (right behind them the Book of Air), I thought there would be about 30 of them, but more on that later.
After scouting the entire respawn I realized there were no stat boosters, with few exceptions, no artifacts for stats. I also saw half of Javdet’s respawn and his GO, he was certainly lucky with Diamond Golems against Rampart, plus there was an external dwelling of Elves with a portal to a Dungeon, which spawned right next to the GO. The only good thing was that beyond the Golems there were Magi, and apparently you couldn’t bypass them.
I see that on day 115 Kyrre is in front of the Golems, planning to take them the next day. I change all my plans for doubling mana, etc., upgrade two Cats that had first speed, in the battle against the GO I crash into them with Mass Slow on day 117, it turns out there are 45 Cats, they hit me hard, killing 3 out of 18 Ducks (I brought two more Ducks from the secondary Swamp) and most of the meat, as a result Shakti with 15 Ducks and power stack sees 50-99 Monks in front of him guarding the Book of Air... Meanwhile Javdet has already lost to the Magi (I knew this before I attacked the GO, but I understood that since I had brought Shakti here, I had to fight so as not to lose tempo), in the end I just lost a day, Shakti was crushed against the Monks, there were 85+ of them with Haste.

Second week, I doubled mana, brought Ducks from the Swamp, bought out all the growth, beat 3 Naga Guards into Monks, and killed 58 of them without trouble, immediately I see a Sword +12 behind the Angels (with Haste of course :) ) and a prison with a hero of level 30, but my MP runs out, I pass the turn.
The opponents have better stats, especially Gomunguls’s Crag Hack flaunts 15 attack, while my Shakti has a modest 5-5-3-4.
Gomunguls’s scout appears, but he doesn’t take the sword, Javdet in the meantime finishes off the Magi, and from the Pandora’s Box gets three Titans.
On my turn I manage to grab the Sword +12, take the prison, have a messy fight with Liches for a box of 80 Gremlins and Titan’s Plate, capture the central Castle Tower, put a Lookout there, most of the treasure zone isn’t eaten, I pass the turn and wait to see where Gomunguls will go, right towards me or left towards Javdet, but Javdet finds Gomunguls himself, killing a couple of his Naga Guards. And then on his own turn comes Crag Hack’s revenge.
The brown player surrenders.
At that time Shakti was showing 18 attack and 13 spell power, had a chain for 500+ and a bolt for 300+.

Thanks to the opponents for the game!

I surrendered well, though there wasn't a single Dragon Fly Hive, but I leveled Crag, grabbed a Pandora's Box with 20 gnashers, there's a Dungeon and an external dwelling of hydras, on 121 I break the nagax guards(20) and the berserkers max and buy out completely... I went to the center, on 122 I broke the prison and cleared a good chunk of the center via a chain, then having a good army I decided to eliminate the competitor and attacked Javdet, won in FB and surrender follows.
Thanks everyone for the game!

At first, I had bad luck wherever possible. I got the color brown, picking a castle last, Ivor without elves. I decide to level Kyrre, but water immediately blocks her path. Having scouted, I realize there are prospects - an external dwelling of elves and 3 Pandora's Boxes. As it turned out, that was almost everything on the respawn, plus a Dragon Fly Hive and a couple of low-level external dwellings. But in the 3rd box, 40 elves, since I'm the last to enter the center, I decide to skip the Dragon Fly Hive and try to exit on 116. I did exit, but then 50+ mages turned out to be an insurmountable obstacle. I could have punched through about 60-70 with difficulty, but there are 95 of them. A loss, and all that's left is to hope that the opponents cut each other down earlier.

On the 2nd, I finish off the mages, with 3 titans in the Pandora's Box, but spoons are needed for dinner. So I'm already out to the hat sorting, and the Swamp players easily justified themselves.

Thanks for the game.

It happened. He hid so well that they couldn't find me))). Thanks for the game.

It's a shame, we were waiting for him all evening yesterday, but it turned out like this...

Why, according to the rules, does the player who chooses the color first also get to choose the castle first?

Why, according to the rules, does the person who chooses the color first also choose the castle first?

It's all based on luck; first, a lottery is held to determine who chooses the color... then, again, a lottery is held to determine who will choose the castle.

Now I understand, but it's not entirely clear in the rules... I thought (and my opponents did too) that the die is cast once, and the winner gets all the advantages.

It's a shame, we were waiting for him all evening yesterday, but it turned out like this...

I said I could play after 9 PM (and we agreed to play until we were tired). You started messaging me on ICQ at 7 PM, and I logged on at 11 PM, but you were both offline, even though you said you could play until we were tired.

Added 2 minutes later
If we had played for 4-5 hours yesterday and continued today, maybe we would have had time.

well, that's just great ))) so, you didn't show up at the agreed time, and they were supposed to wait for you for at least 2 hours, or maybe even two days? You should just let everyone know that you're so important and they should wait for you until they turn blue.

Okay, I admit I was wrong. That’s why I backed out.

well, that’s a different story, but if it was an exception, they shouldn’t have filmed it.
