mrLeFish (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Saurug) + Dirty_Fish (green, Castle, Orrin, Neela) def Alone (red, Necropolis, Aislin, Nimbus) + Stizko (tan, Stronghold, mr. Hack) Teamwork, 127
In the final battle, morale in the 1st round could have decided it (both had +3), but it only worked for the enemy's single archangels and our ducks.
Thanks for the game!
My first game on this map template, although my partner is already quite experienced with it. Of course, I knew nothing about the rules of the "cherk" on Teamwork and easily gave up the Castle.
Besides, I had already forgotten how to play Heroes in a pair, because the last time I played was back on the portal in some ancient year (2008-2010), specifically paired with LeBron :D Therefore, the team synergy wasn't the highest, and the opponent, by his own words, went grey during the first part of the game.
On the second day, we took a single cons; I passed everyone to Craig, who is freeing level 10 Kyr. She is rushing to take 3 Hives on the rocks. Already with a more or less decent number of vamps, Nimbus takes another Hive and a box for 10 exp. There is a plan to pass everyone back to the home Necropolis resp where 2 trongl cons have been scouted. But OH HORROR — the chain falls apart at the last moment due to greed and an experience box. I frantically look for options and burn the timer. Somehow managed to position myself to take both cons and return everyone to Craig the next day. At 115, Aislin with masslow takes a max cons and passes everyone to a level-zero loser, who then takes a triple cons without much trouble. By redeeming several heroes, we manage to pass everyone to the nearest Castle near ГО. Kyr seems to take one more Hive, and the question arises of how to hit the triple ГО. There are minotaurs up to 99, which actually fall without any problem, but then there are devils and gr. phoenixes... :( if Kyr (Craig) bursts in at 116, losses could be high. If we wait a day, either of the two Necropolis heroes with masslow will significantly reduce losses — a difficult decision, but we decide in favor of the Necro on ГО. We hold off here.
At 117, Nimbus defeats the minos and devils without much trouble, but the fens bit us quite hard — 19 units and another 7 rose from the ashes. They ate all the skeletons and most of the vamps. :smile51:
Immediately after ГО, a horde of cyclops falls for beads +3 all. Then Kyr enters the game, takes an off-map angel, and fights back the Dragon Utopia. On their turn, we see Nella, who takes the titan shield and prepares to take the red orb. We realize that without magic it will be sad, but there are no longer any opportunities to interfere. It's obvious that Craig needs to be leveled up, as she is currently in a supporting role. Nimbus snatches 3 archangels from under their noses in a box for 90 gr. bulls and life becomes more cheerful :D Kyr takes the minimum Dragon Utopia with the archangels, where only money is given of anything useful. Further, after the efreits, there's a useless navigation trinket and a Castle in a treasure zone. From there, Craig disperses, takes a Hive, and stands on another Dragon Utopia. In it, they give a book of earth and a titan sword — we equalize parameters with Nella :D The latter flashes DD and takes a couple of Hives we left behind. Overall, Craig ends up in the lead role, clearing the treasure zone with a crowd of losers from taverns and prisons. In the box for vamps, they give 5 angels, then experience +15 and +10 k. We can't compete with Nella in terms of raw meat yet — there is already a flock of archangels there. Gradually we retreat, losing losers — especially painful for level 30 Luna — not enough timer for smart moves. Craig jumps with TP on expert earth, while Nimbus and Aislin use a TP scroll and DD obtained on the 5th level of the magic tower in the Necropolis. After some time, Nimbus retakes the Castle on the opponents' resps. Instead of staying there, for some reason I TP back to the capital, exposing papal Aislin... Probably because it was already four in the morning and I was playing without thinking. But we save here.
Discussing perspectives for the next day with my ally. It's obvious that the opponents don't have TP — thus after some time we can seize all castles — while Nella runs very slowly, and in perspective (a month or two) after upgrading angels, we easily win. However, somehow we expose Craig and Nella catches her in the castle... :eek: Which was not part of the plan.
In the final battle, only morale or luck could have decided it... because Craig is significantly stronger in parameters and the angels could compete with the opponent's archangels...
Tactically, immediately after the Dragon Utopias, we should have upgraded our angels.
Thanks for the game!

mrLeFish (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Saurug) + Dirty_Fish (green, Castle, Orrin, Neela) def Alone (red, Necropolis, Aislin, Nimbus) + Stizko (tan, Stronghold, mr. Hack) Teamwork, 127
a very tough and drawn-out game, played in 3 sessions.
On turn 1 I run to the central Inferno, spread out there, kill the black GO, free Saurug level 10 with armor and logistics, Kostyan has a Griffin Conservatory, a chest, and a lot of gold, Neela came in, we decided to play.
On 112 I found a Griffin Conservatory, a two-square, Saurug heads there with bless, having leveled offense on the monk along the way. We entered the conservatory with 100 halberdiers (the papal guards from the central Castle), 20 gr crossbowmen, and 100+ trogs, it fell pretty easily, same turn I returned everything to the Castle.
There Neela easily and casually clears 2 level 3 conservatories under mass curse, on 116 angels are being bred, and Neela stands before GO, 9 archers on 116 have already become a classic :cool: , but oh horror!! the opponents reveal a large army power and Kyrre with decent stats :eek:
The black GO falls on quick, then Dragon Fly Hive, sandals +2 all, angel external dwelling, KV, shield +12 all, red orb. Moreover if we hadn't taken the shield, we would have covered Kyrre on 117 and there would have been no options for them. But we decided to play it safe and gathered everything, on his turn red takes a chest for 90 black bulls and gets 3 archers there, they break a Dragon Utopia and run far into the center, where Crag Hack is hired, who is now unreachable. But due to lack of timer Kyrre dies and Nimbus nearly dies on an archer.
Then Neela devours the center which contains 2 more angel external dwellings (3 total), at home in the back alleys she picks up another 2 conservatories with 2 angels each, a red external dwelling, and a couple of naga banks, in one of which an angel died..
The central Dragon Fly Hives are collected and all castles are taken, almost snagged the opponents' central castle, 30 MP short. The plan is obvious, on 127 to control all angel external dwellings and, buying them with growth, destroy any army of Crag Hack, but he himself comes under attack, there are 10-19 angels 1+1 archers and chaff, we have 15 archers 1+1 angel, 35+1 wyvern, 1 gr fly, stats are 15 higher and we have the red orb, visions showed there were 17 angels, the urge to attack sharply disappeared, but there was no way back.
In the finale, morale in the 1st round could have decided (both at +3), but it only procced for the opponents' single archers and our ducks.
Thank you for the game!
I suggested to Egor that he play a practice game with someone before the tournament one, but there was no time, to which I told him that then the game with the Fishes would be a practice, and we would reach the final through the lower bracket :D The game turned out interesting and emotional.... Also I'll clarify that the first 2 sessions we played without communication, but with furious keyboard clacking during each player's turn (after another rush of adrenaline I told Egor that I wouldn't play until he bought a headset). What stood out was when my ally couldn't understand for 2 minutes that he needed to give away 17 pixies, and this when we were already in the treasure zone where every second is worth its weight in gold :smile51: The key moment was the last turn of the red player in the 2nd session of our game, when he gave the castle to the opponents, where on his own turn Crag Hack was supposed to charge in with 3000+ movement, and second on advanced armor and wisdom, upon another level-up they give him expert armor instead of wisdom :smile05: , which prevents Crag Hack from learning Dimension Door, and I have no idea where to get 11K experience on a picked-clean map (there were no trees in the visible area). And then luck was not on our side...
And in the finale LeBron is right, with +3 morale and +1 luck there was hope that one or the other would proc, the only chance (angels dealt 1.1K damage).
Thanks for the game!!! :cool:

Thanks for the game to the opponents.
Thank you for the game!
My luck was very poor: Pete got 1 external dwelling of Pegasi, I got efreet... and in the zone leading to the treasure chamber 1 Dragon Fly Hive... 2 ГО: 1 - 93 Genies, 2 - 9 Archangels... I somehow took down the first one on day 116, the second on day 121... not much room to maneuver in the treasure chamber... we built two level 4 dwellings in Inferno and Necropolis, but it was all pointless... I gathered a fair amount of mana and went back to the center, got attacked there, retreated, all the Pandora's Boxes I grabbed were either for 20+ green dragons or for bears... all of them gave experience...
thank you for the game!

Well, what can be said.. the game turned out to be hard and long. The start was very difficult, GO 20-49 fire birds, and the road led straight to the opponents' respawn. The opponents, however, had a second road to the center where possibly all the goodies were located. We wanted to surrender, but at 126 we took the Dragon Utopia triple — it gave +5+4+3 to all stats. Having DD and GM5 with TP, we decided to continue and feast on the center via off-road, which is what happened, taking all central towns and castles from the opponents. Upgraded archs, hydras.
In FB there were 47 monarchs, 6 archs, 8 chaos hydras, 4 drakes, six flies against 60 ducks, 5 angels, 300 upgraded bones, 20 demons and efreits. Thanks for the game, good luck further

Well, what can I say.. the game turned out to be tough and long. The spawn was very difficult, GO 20-49 firebirds, and the road led directly to the opponents' respawn. The opponents, meanwhile, had a second road to the center, where presumably all the goodies were. We wanted to surrender, but on 126 we took a Dragon Utopia trio — it gave +5+4+3 to all stats. Having Dimension Door and GM5 with Town Portal, we decided to continue and grab the center through the wasteland, which we managed to do, taking all the central towns and castles from the opponents. We upgraded Archangels, Hydras.
In the final battle there were 47 monarchs, 6 archangels, 8 chaos hydras, 4 dragons, six stacks of flies against 60 ducks, 5 angels, 300 upgraded bone dragons, 20 demons and efreet. Thanks for the game, good luck further

Writing from memory.
111 I have Griffin Conservatory + Hive + a decent army at the start. Misha found a Pandora's Box (unopened) and a Griffin Conservatory 3-4 and a Hive. On one of the directions from the Castle he didn't run to 111, and there was a 100% reason not to take RE 2 Hives and Griffin Conservatory! But the opponents had 4 heroes each, and we decided that we had to play it. We had 8 and 3-4 heroes immediately building in a chain, the rest were collecting gold, and I had a lot of it.
112 I take in the General zone 2 Dungeon Castles + another Rampart and on 113 I'm planning to take the Hive. Wowa opens the Pandora's Box (+35 gr wolves) and handles his business on his respawn (takes the level 15 Dwarf Cottage).
113 I + Griffin Conservatory 1 + Hive for 6 ducks. Misha sets up a chain on 2 Hives and Griffin Conservatory 3, to transfer the army to me, and I took another Griffin Conservatory on his respawn with Ivor on 115 already. + Misha's secondary hero captures the Bathhouse + Lookout Tower, an external dwelling of Beholders is visible in the corner of his respawn. We thought about me teleporting his bears
114 I transfer the army to Misha, he takes 2 Hives and Griffin Conservatory 3, and stands for a split, to buy himself out in the Castle at the GO))) The army stands at another Griffin Conservatory.
115 I take another Griffin Conservatory with Ivor +3 transfer the army to Misha, as if under a corner Hive so to speak. Misha hits the Hive +6 ducks. Splits into the Castle at the GO, takes the 50-99 Cyclops Stockpile and hits the GO for 19 Devils and 88 Pit Fiends, and loses the duck and all the dogs, dunno how) After the GO there were still 1500 movement points left. Misha ran to the prison and didn't dismiss the hero, and wasted movement because of it, couldn't move away with Crag Hack, otherwise he would have also grabbed the prison, painted the town, and returned the army... + I had a Mage Guild level 4 with Teleport + Meteor Shower in the Dungeon
116 I take the army from Misha, there was a hero with 2100 movement points boosted at the stable. I take the Hive + a Pandora's Box of 25 Medusas, Ivor takes +6 all stats helmet. Didn't take the Hive even though he stood on it, felt sorry for the Grand Elves, returned the army to Crag Hack.
Green comes out with stats 8 17 9 9. Takes the prison, cuts off my Shoal, Tazar rides away.
Misha's turn - down the path, the trapped Shoal runs away, sees Tazik) Crag Hack catches up.
FB Crag Hack 21 10 11 (15) mana 7 Angels, 33 Ducks 25 Evil Eyes 18 Grand Elves 1 Dog 1 Dog 1 Goblin
Tazar 8 17 9 (5) mana 1 1 1 1 gr Ducks 4 Angels 15 Scorpicores and 15 gr Ducks.

Round 2 Dispel on Ducks and with a speed advantage, Crag Hack killed the opponent to 0.

that's exactly how it was! the opponents had a much more favorable road network
and it was favorable in every aspect: General zone between their spawns, rather than off to the side from the crossroad of roads from our starting zones, Griffin Conservatories on the road or right next to it (out of our 2 Griffin Conservatories, the first was more than a day above the swamp, the other was 2 days' travel deep into the Conflux spawn, and it was never taken)
but the main thing — a Castle next to ГО!!! that's ultimately what decided it :smile19: well, as for Tazar having nowhere special to level (2 empty Pandora's boxes — at least the 3rd had troops) and having to hit ГО with only advanced logistics — that's already minor details!
гг, thanks for the game :)
