13.11.2013 theshevanesian(Red, Citadel, Crag Hack, Crag Hack/Gurnisson)lose darkello(Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti)Jebus Cross,142
huge serpentine respawn, 3 hives, 3 conservatories, external dwelling of minotaurs - that was the plan, plus points probably 2 conservatories of Trog (one single) and
nearby GO, on day 116 I successfully sacrifice my entire army except 3 minotaurs, on 34 crusaders for the minotaur external dwelling with a bunch of resources - I got eager with the scout hero and attacked, and the Troglodytes weren't great from the start either! On day 117 I urgently go to finish them off with my main hero and take the external dwelling by first tricking the minotaurs with magic and building Manticores which I hadn't planned. Until day 125 I deal with the hives and conservatories, gathered 16 Wyverns, 6 Angels, 19 Minotaur Kings and on day 126 I break the GO of Cyclopes, kill the Cyclopes at the start of the treasure zone for the Dragon Fly Hive and Sphere of Chain Lightning, on day 127 I find my native Dungeon with Crag Hack in it on 1 Angel, I kill him, but the artifacts aren't on him, then I started eating the treasure zone, and the opponent started eating my native respawn. On day 142 the opponent surrenders because he went into the respawn which had an unbroken GO (the opponent thought I had broken the GO and was in that zone). On day 141 I had 56 Minotaur Kings, 25 Scorpicores, 6 Angels, 50 Wyverns, 40 Medusas, 35 Evil Eyes (I had a bow in the pack)
Shakti's stats 25-29 (I think they would have fought with the sphere)
Gurnisson's stats 41-18
Gurnisson's army: 8-9 Harpies, 2 Angels (if he hadn't broken the rules, otherwise 8 from the forbidden zone +6), 20 Wyverns and some misc
Thanks for the game!

14.11.2013 Maretti (red, tower, aine, neela) def Javdet (blue, fortress, tazar) 2sm4d(3) 212

Found alot of giant dwells in t-area but despite taking 4 topes I couldnt buy out. In the end we both had cleared our sides and I aproched. By mistake I gave my 42 wyverns to broghild where he should just have had 1 angel going for a goldmine. Javdet took advantage and used the lame 1 dragon flie and arma move and then attacked with full army and red orb and red cape. I still had 14 titans and 18 naga queens left and despite slightly lower stats I pulled the win. Thanks for playing.

Who else will say that Maretti is not lucky, let them throw a stone)))

Surprisingly, for a SM it played out evenly. Both got doubles and quietly feasted. But I didn't know about the opponent's double, while he was aware of mine.
At the start of week 3, there was a dilemma - stay in the treasure zone and take the Dragon Utopia, or run to another revealed Dragon Utopia that could easily be stolen with flight. That's exactly what happened. When chains were already set to claim that Dragon Utopia with a lich - Nika flew out and there was no need to rush anymore)))
With advanced wisdom, I grab all the air spells - annoying. But then Brissa also takes a box with control. Well, at least that.

I was a bit short on scouting to pick up a crown in the opponent's eaten treasure zone, and was too lazy to break the guard for the cuirass on 5 - which I later greatly regretted - Brissa lacked a spell for a good armageddon. And I never found the most garbage component for the sharpshooter's bow - otherwise the finale would have been a carry.

When contacts began - I see something wrong - 16 titans, meaning either he got them from a box or his caches are in order. He just sets himself up for armageddon, and also forgets the wyvern near the lich - I have to fight. I clear a lot of chaff meat, but the naga and titan stacks still look impressive. The finale wasn't winnable, but I couldn't not attack either. The time I was counting on turned out to be treacherously in league with the opponent))

Then I open the map - and there are 5 !!!!!!!!!! titan caches. On Jebus Cross, you rarely see such a shock))) Also a native treasure zone, and on snow at that))

Thanks for game.

It happened. The opponent spent about 5 days lurking around the guard near the swamp respawn, and was sure that he had cleared it. Turns out he hadn't. Thanks for the game!

"Who else will say that Maretti isn't lucky? Let them throw a stone)))"

I probably play so often that it's easy to find games where I had luck. The games where I have bad luck, like recent games vs Gomunguls, Yostairs, and Juristis, are quickly forgotten.

I'll admit, though, that against Scorpiona and Helllight, it seems like luck follows me.

The games where I have bad luck like recent games vs Gomunguls

game against Gomunguls you get spellbander in 1st utopia. This is luck! :rolleyes:

Maretti and twaryna biggest luckers on HW :D

Thanks for the game!

13.11.2013 Tovariщ(Red,Citadel,Gurni,Gurni) def Twaryna(Blue,Castle,Caitlin,Monere) 2sm4d(3) 116.

It was an excellent layout, but my opponent was unlucky with the guards.

Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. The starting hand was decent in terms of gold + Griffin Conservatory, but the marks on the guard of the passage to the secondary base punished us due to morale. Although given the layout, it's good it turned out this way — there were 3 paths against one, 2 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Dragon Fly Hives + an external dwelling of bears. Thanks for the game!

14.11.2013 Stryfe (blue, citadel, Crag Hack) def Browser (red, conflux, Labetha, Gurnisson), Jebus Cross, 126
We started the game right away without restarts. On the first week I took 3 dwellings of birds + a portal in the secondary dungeon. Crag leveled Tactics and Earth Magic. At the beginning of the second week, I collect a Griffin Conservatory for 9 angels at the respawn, upgrade the birds and behemoths, and Crag also levels Logistics and Mysticism :) On top of that, I pick up +3 to speed and 2 rings of +1 to health at the respawn. On day 124 I break the GO of devils and immediately take the KV for pits. On day 125 — a pandora's box with 15 cyclopes (native treasure zone) and a titan's cuirass for 20+ red dragons... then a max Dragon Utopia with a teapot, КЗ and КО. I sit down to refill mana in the central town. On my turn, the opponent attacks me with a scout hero and surrenders. Thanks for the game.

I sit to replenish mana in the central town. On my turn the opponent attacks me with a scout hero and surrenders. Thanks for the game.

Air is not built up - and the worst part is there is no GG - just one Shalabas - but 9 Air elementals for two heroes and something like a Dragon Fly Hive Conservatory is glowing - in the end 4 Dragon Fly Hive Conservatories (2) - a swamp village and 2 niches for psychos - 1 road to medusas the second to GO and 3 are so-so - I collected everything by 124 - Gurnisson entered on 117 - Mage Guild up to level 5 was evicted - Dimension Door was given - GO cyclopes - collected 26 upgraded - in general not exactly tempo but not a failure either - there was a better surrender )
Thanks for the game.

14.11.13 Shlots blue (Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Chingis red (Stronghold, Gretchin, Gretchin) Jebus 134

GO broke through with 125 power and was heading towards him for 3 days. In the treasure zone, he found VERY many things: 2 hives with 4 vivas each and a Pandora worth 5k experience, all FAR away on an unpaved road.

Tazar emerged at level 131. Immediately upon his exit were the following worthless items: KZ, KV, Gladius of Titans, and a couple of Dragon Utopias right on the road.

He wanted to escape to an adjacent respawn or take a Dragon Utopia. But Tazar arrived.

So he had to enter the neighboring Dungeon and double his mana.

Tazar destroyed 9 Angels and 5 Ancient Behemoths with 2 explosions.

I used 2 Armageddons to destroy his entire army. There were a couple of Cyclops left somewhere. I miscalculated by just a little bit, otherwise Tazar would have gone to heaven along with Gretchka. What a wonderful pair they would be in Paradise: "Beautiful" Gretchka and gentle noble Tazar :).

Well, this is just for the future. Maybe when there's no more free stuff, it will be something to remember.

confirm. gg

I am establishing a firm definition of REAL ASS for treasure zones.

No, these are not any emotions.:) This is purely a scientific term.:). It’s not my fault:)

12.11.13 Volodymyr (Castle, blue, Valeska) def Piterius (Rampart, red, Mephala), 8mm6a, 141

A good layout played out with 2 cons, Müllich, Mark's external dwellings, a peak, the native computer, and a Dragon Utopia. By 113 it became clear that there was no path to either the computer or the village; my mood soured. I broke through the harpies' slot via teleport to the center; on the other side was a pack of greedy medusas, which made things even less fun since another Dragon Utopia was found and could have been played quite well. By the end of the week, I painted the external dwellings and built horses and griffins in the Stronghold.

At the start of the second week, I picked up a +3 shield and started preparing for cons; I decided to take Valeska since she had run through some upgrades. Red flags flickered behind the medusas, money was tight, and I had no desire to make contact, fortunately Petya didn't push further.

I started with the second one, getting a +3 sword, for some reason losing a horse there—maybe because I was essentially playing without magic, I don't remember, we started playing a very long time ago. The second cons also turned out to be a double; Müllich broke into the treasure zone, and a dolphin and cartographer were in sight (SoD foreva :smile02:). Valeska spent the night before the hive and arena; overall, that's how the second week came to an end. Meanwhile, Petya had already captured the native purple computer (his necromancer on the first one, I think)

The hive turned out to be a mini one; I look at the Dragon Utopia and drool, but I simply have nothing to take it with. I also have nothing to go to Petya with, so I decide to run around the hole a bit in search of something useful. Found +1 all, a nagobank, and a box with 10k money. Then the purse is passed to Nimuss; in the gut treasure zone, 6 vivs and 4 efreets are taken.

On 136 the purse returns to Valeska via the cyclops' place. 12-14 combat units, must-have, 135 halberdiers, 10 vivs, 4 angels, 18 crusaders, 8 champs – now we're getting somewhere. The Dragon Utopia falls without problems – КО (norm, under 2 efreet external dwellings), +2 all, GB. I immediately want to take the home one with Müllich, but since it's maxed, I decide to build angels and wait for growth instead, and place Valeska closer to the teleport for a run into enemy territory with Archangels.

The Dragon Utopia is good, +6 all, gladius, sphere of resolution, another КО. I set up the Archangels, pass to Vale 31-19-16-15(60) 7 archangels, 88 marks, 20 crusaders, 11 champions, griffins, halberdiers. I run into Danj's village, followed by ГГ. Petya was chopping up computers there, there were wagons of Castles, the income was cosmic, but something didn't work out.

Thanks for the game!
