16.01.2014 Colorado (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Stryfe (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2SM4d(3) 125
Opponent chose two agreed-upon rests and off we went. From the start, got an artifact for +1 speed :):smile13: On the first week, two secondary towns - Necro and Stronghold, found 2 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Dragon Fly Hives :smile20: . No crypts, no Medusa dens or Dwarf cottages either.:smile27: Eventually, tired of running for treasure chests, I decided not to put cats in the main.:smile18: In the end, on the first week only 1-4 in the castle, and Shakti, by established tradition, refused to take Earth. :smile35: So after leveling up Expert Offense and Tactics, I had to take Wisdom (the alternative - some junk like Navigation). Bummer...:smile17: No stat artifacts found, took a Griffin Conservatory-coin on week 2, day 2 (goofed - could have taken it on week 2, day 1, but didn't believe it was a coin. Didn't want to waste extra Troglodytes on Harpy Hives, plus I wasn't spread out enough that a failure would risk losing tempo). On week 2, day 3 found and took my natural secondary hero, gave opponent auto :smile45: (a tradition, damn it, though!), Shakti turned toward the second Griffin Conservatory, but then on week 2, day 4 near the Barbarian secondary hero, next to which the Griffin Conservatory is, Kyrre pops up with up to 50 Elves, up to 10 Wyverns, up to 4 Unicorns and singles.:smile38: Scout hero runs behind him, sees Shackles lying there - the guards are dead. :smile41: Nearby, Red's scout hero with up to 50 Dwarves and up to 10 Dendroids. I stand in the metro near the exit to the Barbarian respawn with 1 Angel, quietly pissing myself because Kyrre with Log and Shackles can reach Shakti.:smile16: In the end, Kyrre takes the secondary town and heads along the road to the metro - toward me, but on the way turns into a Mana Source X2 to replenish mana, but doesn't make it :smile08: That ultimately decided it. On week 2, day 5, I attack with full force. Too lazy to detail the stats and armies, Kyrre had an advantage in stats but no Offense/Armor. Only 22 Elves, so I block my shooters, the Angel gets the first move - Elves put to rest, opponent completely out of mana. Opponent writes GG.
If the opponent had made it to the well, the outcome of the finale could likely have been different.
Thanks for the game! As always, played mediocrely, but this time I got away with it.:smile43:

On the second day, remembering what a slow match looks like, I realized that agreeing to play it was a big mistake:rolleyes: Then I just tried to finish the game as quickly as possible, and I succeeded. Thanks for the time!

17.01.2014 Toganash (blue, random swamp, random Verdysh, Claudius) def GUNAR (red, random dungeon, random Geon, Tazar), 8mm6a, 216
I've never played such a wealthy 8-player game. In the 3rd week I took 3 Dragon Utopia, and in the 4th another 2. Caught a loser opponent with one of my meat shields. But then it became a race; Claudius couldn't catch the opponent before 216, even with Dimension Door, since he lacked Town Portal.
Thx for the game.

01/17/2014 Toganash (red, random swamp, random Verdish, Clavius) def GUNAR (red, random dungeon, random Geon, Tazar), 8mm6a, 216 Control and Necropolis decided the game, and the opponent also played well, not without some luck))). In the second week, I set a GM of 5. There were no Town Portal and Dimension Door spells. I collected all the useless artifacts from 5 dungeons ((( The Captain's Hat, Boots of Levitation, etc. Thanks for the game!

11.01.2013 Lim4(red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Night Troll(blue, Castle, Tauriel, Tauriel) balance, 127

To participate in the Novice Cup, Night Troll plays games with reports and saves.
On the first week, I scouted the respawn and the passages to secondary towns. Given the spawn setup, I planned to break through further only on the second week, so I cleared everything and picked up all the loose stacks in a row. Two grandmasters were lost to a misclick in the crypt, but 5 is not 0, so somehow we survived until week 1, day 1, 7. With some trading, due to a shortage of wood, I placed Elves in the secondary town and the Mage Guild, and in the main town - tier 1 to 5 in the Fort. From day 2, week 1, I broke into the next zone, even with stone roads blocking the way, but it became more fun. In the third week, Kyrre took a box on the second level, then Tauriel arrived, and a battle took place in the Necromancer secondary town.

Thanks for the game, good luck in future ones, and may your skill grow rapidly:)

Attaching the saves. Passwords 377 and 000.

11.01.2013 Lim4 (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Night Troll (blue, Castle, Thunis, Thunis) balance, 127

To participate in the Novice tournament, Night Troll plays games with reports and saves.
In the first week, scouted the respawn and paths to secondary towns. Given the layout, breaking through further was planned only for the second week, so everything was cleared and all piles of resources were picked up in order. Two grand heroes were lost to a misclick in the crypt, but 5 is not 0, somehow made it to 117. With a trade, due to a lack of wood, placed Elves in the secondary town and a Mage Guild, and in the main town - levels 1-5 in the Fort. On week 121, broke into the next zone; although there were rocks on the rough terrain, it became more fun. In the Third Haven, Kyrre took a treasure chest for Level 2, then Thunis arrived, and a battle took place in the Necro secondary town.

Thank you for the game, good luck in future ones and swift skill development to you:)

Attaching the saves. Passwords are 377 and 000.

Confirmed. Everything started perfectly, but then I lost two upgraded unicorns. I captured the Necro secondary town and holed up there. Consequently, I was caught there by the logistics hero Kyrre. Thank you for the game, as well as for such warm and bright wishes!:)

01/17/13 0771 (red, Rampart, ivory) def R@sIM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Turis) 2sm4d(3) 142, thanks for the game. Sorry, admins, I wrote the year incorrectly; instead of 2013, it should be 2014; it hasn't updated yet.

01/17/13 0771 (red, Rampart, ivory) def R@sIM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Turis) 2sm4d(3) 142, thanks for the game.

Confirmed! Thanks for the game.

17.01.2014 wariator (red, Citadel, Crag) def Grisha (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Tazar) Jebus Cross 135! In the FB, summoning 100 earth elementals helped a lot! Thanks for the game!

01/11/2014 Sevensan (Blue, Necropolis, Clavius, Galtran) Def herolwy (Red, Fortress, Kir) Diamond 135

On the first map, I got a hero, took three villages, and a level 1 resource + there's a castle for 40 monarchs.

On the second map, there was contact. I took another town with 15 archmages, 2 hives with 12 harpies, and a castle with oil. I burned the harpies with 25 bears.

On the third map, I took the harpies, and that's where the real action began. I made a mistake once, forgetting to use a spell to give all artifacts to my main hero. But it worked out. Then I attacked three angels, and had a good fight there. My opponent bought himself out. I have a Necropolis castle and a lot of villages. After that, he didn't have enough time to take back his main town and re-equip, and he surrendered.

Thx for games

I confirm, thx for the game.

17.01.14 Cincinnat (red, Conflux, random, Kalt, Brissa) def Akella (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) 8xm8a (L) 134

Air elementals were built, but from the start the fish were on Kalt. Under the castle, there was a Griffin Conservatory with Trogans, but I never got around to it.
On the first day, I smoked, sacrificed meat, almost all the fish. On the respawn, I beat the helm of +3 knowledge, from the chest I got greaves +1 +1. I sat Brissa to replenish mana, somewhere along the way I leveled up spell power.
On day 115, I'm stuck with all three heroes in front of the exit from the underground. I broke my own guard (a group of fairies) with Kalt, only air elementals and fish remained in the army. On the surface - 50-99 thieves. Remembering the experience of the tempo fathers, I decide to attack them with Kalt, skip the turn, and attack with the mage who already has a decent archery line. I threw arrows at the thieves, on the surface there's a passage immediately to two secondary towns. I send in the scout, take a strategic overview, and see that one of the secondary towns is my native one. I take both with the two remaining heroes, hope reappears. At home, I build Firebirds and Water Elementals.
I take air elementals from the secondary town, there are now 25 of them, with the arrival of the native hero. At the swamp secondary town, I beat a box behind zombies, and get 60 Gnolls. Meanwhile, through the bugged passage, the citadel-comp runs up to me and kills the scout. It took a couple of days to kill it.
Further, with Brissa, I break through to the area behind the swamp through Waspwakers, where there is a box behind Golems. The box gave me the second town entirely, I move on. I capture another secondary town, and from the mines I realize this is near the opponent.
At home, on day 127, with difficulty and a full exchange from all possible markets, birds are built in the citadel.
Brissa has Lightning Bolt at 195, I decide I need to go rush.
A few turns later, the opponent shows up. By that time, I already have a good influx of gold and resources, which I exchange to zero and bring in meat. I kill a couple of scouts, and on day 134, having gathered all available ducks, the opponent attacks. When I was running towards the opponent, he had 10-19 ducks, but he attacked with 30. Frantically, I calculate the stack's HP - 2100, my Lightning Bolt is at 1950. Should be enough.
FB:
Shakti 7-4-3-4 with 30 ducks, 4 Minotaurs, 7 Medusas, and an Eye, but no spell book.
Brissa 2-1-7-8, 80 mana, Lightning Bolt for 8 mana dealing 195 damage. In the army: 4 birds, 4 Psychos, 33 air elementals, 12 fish, some fairies.
I pound with Lightning Bolt, fly the birds away from the ducks, which ate my entire army, but due to Shakti lacking a spell book, they never reached the birds.

Thanks for the game!
