14.01.2014 R@sIM(blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def Colorado(red, Rampart, Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 141, thanks for the game.

Confirmed.
On the first week, a secondary hero on native terrain, 1-5 in Castle, 1-3 in Citadel. On day 113 I slipped past shifted guards (74 archers) - had to go back, lose tempo and 29 (almost all) Centaurs :(
On the second try I spread out across the fields, frantically gathering resources for building, but as luck would have it, no Griffin Conservatory, no Medusa hives, no Naga banks. Also didn't find a single Griffin Conservatory or a single Dragon Fly Hive (which ultimately decided the game), artifacts for stats were also scarce (( In the end, on day 127, Shakti surfaced from the underground right through his own side of ГО (later it turned out 70+ Manticores). I was taken aback a bit, didn't place dragons (even though I already had Griffins upgraded to level 2 and had the money and resources for them). In the end, by the third encounter, Ivor was level 8 with stats 7-7, without mass Haste and generally without even starting magic (in the end, I was never given either Earth or Air). I give my opponent auto: he collapsed on 45 Wizards - Mass Haste was cast immediately :smile21: . I understand I need to rush, on day 133 I take a pre-max Dragon Utopia. It gives me a Book of Air, boots of +15 resistance, a shirt of +10 resistance, and a potion of +6 all. I can live with that :smile13: . I break into the treasure zone, take Boots of Speed, then sadness: behind 13 Giants with a guard stack, a Pandora's box with only 5k experience - didn't even give a level :( At that moment, a scout hero surfaces from an adjacent secondary hero's position, the scout has 20-49 Wyverns + rest of the meat. Annoying, but Ivor without Logistics with the Wood units on hand can't reach the scout with the army either with Dimension Door or with summoning :(
After that, it's a matter of execution: Shakti doesn't guess the main, runs to a secondary (which, by the way, is also fully built) and on day 137 stops nearby. Ivor buys out at the secondary, replenishes mana and attacks, but I blundered - took growth on day 141 - Red Rush. Lack of experience showed - I haven't played in a long time.
In the end, after negotiations, I admit defeat, the opponent doesn't give auto. Although overall, in this battle there were no chances: the opponent had Mass Haste, 19-17 in stats, 6 Angels and 31 Wyverns, 20+ Greater Demons, while Ivor had 76 Greater Elves, 15 Grand Horses + 26 Wood units + 8 Wyverns, no Mass Haste, stats 17-15. I upgraded expert Tactics, hoping to block the Elves, but the lack of Angels (first strike) and Mass Haste decided it. I didn't have time to upgrade the Pegasi, and I should have...
Thanks for the game.

I'm giving the opponent a chance: I was playing with 45 Wizards and they cast Haste on me right away :smile21:

In the end, after negotiations, I admit defeat, the opponent won't give me a rematch.

11.01.2014. Dark30(red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Night Troll (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 2SM4d(3), 134.

Basically, here is how it went): I took 1 restart; the distribution seemed normal in the first few seconds, but after scouting the Dungeon territory where I spawned for 1 day, it turned out there was only 1 pile of gold and 1 guarded chest. The good thing was that on the way to the secondary town there were suitcases and only 10-19; I don't know what I was thinking then, but I hoped for a restart from the opponent (which subsequently did not happen). The second day began with me breaking through the guards and ending up at my own secondary town with an identical lock. My joy knew no bounds; immediately I thought that I hadn't made a mistake, I have a gut feeling. Day 113 began with a frantic search for money, which simply wasn't on the secondary town except for 1 pile of 700 gold and even that was guarded by Orc Archers. Day 114 gave me the understanding that in terms of money it was a total disaster; I hit the lift guards, pop up in a treasure zone and oh my god, immediately a block of Bone Dragons. Turning my entire squadron around, I rush back to my own lift on day 116, beat the guards, go to the surface, and here it turns out that the road ends right there; you have to fight the opponent's guards, which I was naturally not ready for. After breaking through a bunch of guards, Shakti isn't such a Shakti anymore))), but I leveled up well, getting both Logistics and Earth Magic. Coming out to the surface with the whole gang, I realize that besides 1 chest there is also nothing there; sadness overcomes me since day 115 when it came time to build cats and the castle; basically, there's no money at all, as a result on day 117 I have 2 "castles" 1,2,3,4 but not even a citadel. On day 121 I see a portal, I manage my growth so that I had enough cash, beat the guards, and oh gods, another treasure zone and again no gold, just mines (that's what I could break through with my army). Meanwhile, the loser, by some miracle, finds a left passage hidden by bushes; I dive into it, see a Castle, attack, and capture it. Basically, I slowly master new territory on the 2nd week, buy up everything in my own "castles", but alas, even here the respawn is nothing and small. I gather my spirits, build markets everywhere, and on day 132 I decide to go to the opponent since I see no point in dragging out the cat (yes, that same thing). On day 133 I hit his ГО with 60 wolves, put Shakti on acceleration with 7 harpies, behind is the loser with an army of harpies, troglodytes, eyes and medusas; then unexpectedly the opponent attacks Shakti with all his might. He wanted to buy his way out, but as usual there was no money and still isn't; basically for unknown reasons he was glitching and waiting until enough money remained to be able to pay off. I pay off with 3 harpies, thinking well this is it, we've arrived, but luckily the opponent is 1 move short of reaching the loser. On day 134 I buy back Shakti (with level 1 magic) and attack Tazar). The opponent apparently doesn't know how to conduct a FB at all other than just "everyone forward" and here I carried it, although the opponent was superior in power. Please understand and don't mock openly; obviously this is possible because of two noobs playing—well, anyone who hasn't been a noob won't become a pro).

Thanks to the opponent for the game.

Red Rush. Lack of experience showed – I haven't played in a while.

The rules should recommend that everyone play with the Hwraulz mod.
But with your report, you certainly put Oppa down on this forum). Unless, of course, he was guided by

in this battle, there were no chances: Oppa had oil + haste, 19-17 in stats, 6 angels and 31 vivas, 20+ gr. demons, and Ivora had 76 gr. elves, 15 gr. horses + 26 dryads + 8 vivas, no oil or haste,

P
I'll give the opponent a chance: I was playing against someone who had 45 Wizards and they cast Haste right away :smile21:. In the end, after negotiations, I admitted defeat, but the opponent wouldn't give me a rematch.

Good job :D :smile30:

the path to the secondary resource was long and yielded only 10-19 units.

Who is this?

14.01.2014 aka.Ward3n(red,Flux,Monere,Monere/Septiena) def shadowgodd(blue,Fortress,Tazar,Straker) 126 on 8mm6a
The opponent wasn't afraid of double Flux and Monere. By 114 I took my own conflux, the little rascal sure did some damage with Brissa and Ciele, but the papal scroll of fire protection saved me a decent number of air elementals to continue the game. On 117, the birds were up from a full trade. On 122, I dug up and bought Septiena, had a starting art +5% necro. Septiena was clever and experted necromancy at level 3. Then by 126, it was already 200+ skeletons and an angel, I open the overview and there's an exit to the center past some crap, and 3 Dragon Fly Hives right at the exit. The opponent surrenders, it's really bad there. Green Maruska was recapturing his castles). But with no chance, on 127 I would have taken 3 Dragon Fly Hives on 24 ducks + another Griffin Conservatory single, and 8 birds 8 psychos 2 angels 24 ducks 250+ skeletons and 70+ air elementals with triple Flux would have crushed 2 Dragon Utopias 1 and 3 boldly, swiftly, and decisively.
Thanks for the game!

In reality, in the final I had almost no chance, so whether I gave auto or not... I would have kicked him anyway, because I knew he had oil (otherwise the ГО wouldn't beat 126) and was almost certain that Shakhter wouldn't learn expert Haste in addition to expert Oil. And FB with a red rush revealed his Mass Haste: attacking without growth = no chance, not attacking (knowing about Mass Haste) = unfair. So, I have no complaints about my opponent, everything was fair :smile49:
The breakdown showed that all of my opponent's secondary skills were not native, and in the main by week 1, day 3-7 he only built dwellings 1-4 in Castle, i.e., without Manticores and Minotaurs. But he cleared several conservatories (8 Angels) and 4 Dragon Fly Hives (32 Wyverns). That decided it. From my humble perspective, it seemed he played very well, regardless of the setup, respect :smile39:

The rules should recommend everyone to play with the hwrules mod.
But with your report, you've of course put the opponent down on this forum) If, of course, he wasn't guided by ...

Sorry, I don't know what "hwrules mod" is. How did I put the opponent down on the forum? He played strong and fair. Yes, he had some mistakes: somewhere he lost 2 Angels, the Wizards didn't work out, but nobody is immune to mistakes. I don't see a problem with giving auto if the opponent made a slip somewhere due to inattention or bad luck. In FB or just when meeting, of course, that's a different matter. But on guard...

12.01.2014. Dark30 (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def izhevsk (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 116
111. There's a stable at the spawn point, the road is short, one off-road section, not much gold.
112. The overview shows that the secondary hero is guarding 49-99 archers; I attack the ogres on the off-road.
114. I run along the off-road, reach the road, and see the opponent's secondary hero, as it turned out later.
115. I take the secondary hero, build a GM, and reach the main hero and secondary hero of the opponent - orcs.
116. I defeat the orcs... I run along the road to the opponent's castle... I take it.
The opponent writes "gg".
Thank you for the game, and good luck in the next battles.

Thank you for the game!

14.01.2014 aka.Ward3n(red,Conflux,Monere,Monere/Septiena) def shadowgodd(blue,Fortress,Tazar,Straker) 126 on 8mm6a
The opponent wasn't afraid of double Conflux and Monere. By turn 114 I took his dwelling, this little rascal did mess me up with Brissa and Ciele, but the papal scroll of fire protection saved me a decent number of air elementals to continue the game. On turn 117, the birds landed from a full trade. On turn 122 I dug up and bought Septiena, there was a +5% necromancy artifact as a starting one. Septiena was smart and expertized necromancy at level 3. Then by turn 126 there were 200+ skeletons and an angel, I open a scout's hut and there's an exit to the center behind the crap, and 3 Dragon Fly Hives right at the exit. The opponent surrenders, things are very bad there. Green Maruska was recapturing his castles). But there was no chance there — on turn 127 I'd take 3 Dragon Fly Hives with 24 nagas + another Griffin Conservatory with singles, and 8 birds, 8 psychos, 2 angels, 24 nagas, 250+ skeletons, and 70+ air elementals with triple Conflux would break 2 Dragon Utopias 1 and 3 boldly, quickly, and irrevocably.
Thanks for the game!

On turn 111 necromancy + Griffin Conservatory nearby, I didn't restart, almost immediately saw a Dragon Utopia and was actually happy. I didn't see a dwelling, lost my main during the rush. No place to necromance, no money, killed the dwelling, didn't see the hero — she drained my blood properly. In the end, I surrendered. Thanks for the game!

10.01.2014 Sevensan (Red, inferno, Calh, Galthran) def Егор_Коробейников (Blue, Flax, rand, Pasis, Moandor) 8mm6a 124

On the first month, Gosh arrived, but the only road was blocked by 50-grade snakes. Had to think whether to play it or not. Decided yes, because there were two Beserkers for 50+ grade Pit Lords and 2 Dwarf Cottages.
On the first map Efreets spawned.
On the second map I broke through the Dwarf Cottage, Beserkers, snakes, and took the external dwelling of Efreets. They were defeated there, didn't take the auto. It dealt terribly there, no idea what kind of game that is.

11.01.2014 Sevensan (Blue, Necr, Clavius, Galthran) Def herolwy (Red, Ramp, Kyrre) Diamond 135

On the first map Gosh arrived, took three villages and a Griffin Conservatory unit + there's a КЗ lying for 40 Monarchs.

On the second map There was contact. Also took a box of 15 Archmages, 2 beehives of 12 ducks and with oil КЗ. Lit the wings for 25 bears.

On the third map took the wings, and the real heat began. I slipped up once forgetting all artifacts on the scout hero in the main town, oops. But it worked out. Then I attacked three Angels, and had a decent fight there. Opponent bought back. I have a Necro castle and lots of villages. After that, he didn't have enough time to take back his main town, re-equip, and retaliate.

Thx for games
