=Stinger=(red, Fortress, Tazar) + BISHOP(tan, Conflux, Fiur, Rissa) def HellLight(blue, Castle, Valeska) + Twaryna(green, Stronghold, Crag Hack) JC 116

I confirm, the Cunning Oldies, playing a luck-based setup, got a better chocolate than we did. I took a Pandora's Box with 20 fanatics on 111, but what really hurt was that the Dragon Fly Hives I checked were big, as was the Griffin Conservatory. The respawn was bugged, so the quest artifact for 5 angels that Twaryna turned in was cut off from me. On 116, all four of us entered the treasure zone. The color, the dumbass, and the vicious Rissa from the prison sorted things out. Thanks for the game.

Those crafty veterans, playing for luck, got a better chocolate bar than ours.

That's a very debatable statement. Some believe that during your 116th game, your chocolate bar was downgraded to a lollipop :p

Just curious, would you have entered the arena on level 116 if Stinger hadn't broken your Golden Orb?

Ifs and buts. Thanks for the game :smile12:

Just curious, would you have ventured into the third tier on level 116 if Stinger hadn't broken your Golden Ratio?

I could have ventured into the third tier on level 115, the question is what I would do there with 20 Fanatics and 6 Vivs :D

Chaos League vs InDaFish Team
Game #1
=Stinger=(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) + BISHOP(green, Inferno, Ignatius, Crag Hack) def Dirty_Player(red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) + LeBron(brown, Castle, Valeska, Grindan) JC 125

We started quickly. The spawn was excellent, mostly all the good stuff was at the respawn of Dungeon: Dragon Fly Hives for a total of 18 Wyverns, 3 Griffin Conservatories, and a level 5 cap. I get Crag Hack, who hits a stack of mages for a box and gets 10k exp. Immediately level up Earth and Pathfinding. On 113 at my own respawn I raise spell power +2 and on 114 I split to the respawn at Dungeon, buy a spell book, Theme had just prepared for me 154 Troglodytes, 7 Evil Eyes, and 6 Harpies, I attack the max Griffin Conservatory, lose 50 Troglodytes and 3 Harpies, give everything back leaving only one Angel for chaining. Then Stinger clears the respawn, gathers the Dragon Fly Hives and the 2 remaining Griffin Conservatories. On 115 I run Crag Hack and stand near the Guarded Object (Genies and Liches), a town immediately behind them, and place 2 heroes to take the level 5 cap and 3 Pandora's Boxes. On 116 Stinger passes me the army: 7 Angels and 17 Wyverns, 100 Troglodytes, 1 Harpy, but then the failures began, but I carried the army to Crag Hack over 4 tiles and had to run the main hero back; the Pandora's Boxes gave 20 Medusas and 30 Harpy Hags. I hit the Guarded Object, do not capture the town, run to take the +12 shield behind the Sultans and move aside so that Theme could then pick everything up and run further from the town. On his turn, Stinger revealed the 2nd central tavern, ran there, saw Mephala on one Angel in front of his Guarded Object, killed their Guarded Object and Mephala, took the +12 sword and a Pandora's Box with 20 Genies near the central tavern, and returned everything to Crag Hack. On his 117, the bearded Greenie shows up, captures the central tavern, 5 Angels, 29 Monks, and 17 Sprites. It's dangerous to attack him, who knows what magic he has, though Lightning is enough with such spell power. We decide to take the Dragon Utopia, the only one revealed right behind the tavern; no Bracers or Tactics were noticed on Grindan. I jump to the Dragon Utopia, it's a level 2 one; they give a red orb and boots of resistance. For a mage, they couldn't have given Crag Hack better items :), this turn I also turned in a quest artifact for 15k gold. The Fish united their army, making 49 Monks total. On 121, Grindan attacks with superior army, we don't reveal the orb, buy back on Tactics. And then another failure: instead of buying back in the newly captured central tavern, I buy back at Stinger's respawn, but there is a plus side to this — I refill mana at the well, visit the stable, give everything to Shakti. Then a couple of days in the center to take artifacts and the Dragon Fly Hive, and unexpectedly there turned out to be Wings, which helped a lot. The Fish, meanwhile, with Greenie took the Dragon Utopia at Rampart's respawn which gave stat boosts so that Greenie became 14 21 30 and tons of mana. Crag Hack took the Breastplate and visited the library, 25 22 stats. And unexpectedly for us, Greenie moved towards my Inferno respawn and stood at its entrance without stepping on the lava; then a thought was born to Armageddon him with the mage since I had a book of fire magic and the mage was just standing on the Greater Harpy with the boots I had reclaimed the previous turn. But there was one problem: his army had a Greater Devil and +1 speed. We decided to first attack with Crag Hack and the main army to deal as much damage as possible, kill the Devil, and then attack with the mage and Efreet. I attack with the ferried Inferno army: 13 Demons and 16 Gogs plus Imps, I lose them in battle, and also 20 Genies, I buy back for 14k: 7 Angels, 8 Wyverns, and Gogs, killing 9-12 Wyverns and the Devil. Then I immediately attack with the mage and cast Armageddon for 890 damage; Greenie was left with only 22 Monks. I buy back Crag Hack at Stinger's respawn and stand in the castle for chaining. Then Greenie runs, captures my main town, and sits there. Crag Hack has 3k movement points; I exchanged all the resources sent by Stinger at external dwellings, bought 7 Angels at enemy towns, split with Crag Hack and bought back at my own respawn in the secondary town, ran to the main town where Greenie was sitting on 22 Monks and GG.
Thanks for the game!

And unexpectedly for us, Grinya moved to my Inferno respawn point and positioned himself at the beginning, not entering the lava. Then, the idea arose to arm him with a mage, as there was a fire spellbook, and the mage was standing on a group of harpies with boots that he had taken in the previous turn. But there was one problem: in his army, there was a group of flies and +1 speed.

Are you guys idiots? Ifrits on Inferno land have 14 speed, and the snake with +1 also has... :) You came up with problems for yourselves.

Are you guys idiots? The Ifrits on Inferno have 14 speed, and the Serpent with +1 speed also has... :) You're just making things up.

Instead of making jokes, read the phrase carefully: "stood without stepping onto the lava."

Grinya attacked my Inferno respawn point and positioned himself at the beginning of it, without stepping onto the lava.

Are you guys noobs? Ifrits on Inferno have 14 speed, and the Serpent with +1 speed also... :) You're just making things difficult for yourselves.

Hell, you're being a bit harsh here :p

there is such a thing :D sorry

That's exactly how it happened! It was a good game, we were a bit unlucky with the red hero, without him, the implosion in turn 3 would have decided everything.
Also, Mephala was twice pointlessly defeated, and she could have put up a good fight against Kreg, having the Paladin's Mantle and decent stats.
Thank you for the game!

Indeed, it was a great game.
There was nothing to combine troops from, so at the beginning, both colors took turns working on 116 in the center. Then, there were many battles with units, and castles changed hands (all of them were in my main).
Thank you all for the interesting game; the decisive one is ahead:smile14:

That was a game. It was very dynamic and interesting, but the quality of our gameplay leaves something to be desired. There were a lot of unnecessary small mistakes. Thanks for the game!

The Dragon Utopia in the center of Grindan had to be taken without fail the very next day. And the violation in the tournament also cannot be forgiven, even if it was a fan tournament. Fortune was pushing its way toward you, but then it laughed—especially when you were digging for Mephala with hope, and she was just running nearby :D

Grindan should have taken the Dragon Utopia in the center without a doubt on the very next day.

Well, it just didn't work out. There were only 20 vives in the army, and not much mana was left after the Dimension Door. There could have been serious losses in the Dragon Utopia; they could have dealt full shalk (resist boots and a sphere are essentially shalk for us), and being left without mana in the desert is suicide. After the Dragon Utopia slipped away from under our noses and Mepha died, we had to somehow bring Zhabarkas into the fight, who looked quite decent. Of course, it would have been difficult to catch up with speed when we had 1 hero with Dimension Door while they passed the Speaker's Hat around, but there were chances.

And a violation in the tournament also cannot be forgiven, even if it is a fan tournament.

Well, this is a matter of principle for me. If you demand victory because of a minor slip-up that didn't decide anything at all, then what is such a victory for? Especially since they mentioned it themselves, rather than it being discovered after reviewing the saves. I try to win in the game, not by catching random micro-violations. I'm not claiming this is right, but that is my position.

Fortune was knocking your door, but then she laughed — especially when you were digging for Mephala with hope, and she was running nearby :D

That's just a lol!!! We were digging for Mepha, and she was with Stinger :D
