He put up a good fight, Tamika arrived, and he took a box with 60 archers, but then news came that they had surrendered, and they refused to load it.

Thank you for the game!

Thank you for the game; it turned out that the stone mine was located somewhere unknown, and PTMO decided to attack the dwarves on Pan or Perish. It turned out that he perished.

The opponent took 1 resource, and I didn't, even though I don't know why. Maybe I sensed something. Anyway, on turn 112, I found 3 chests, bought 4 heroes, placed Elves, and that was it, I ran out of money. And it was turn 113, so I thought, "Oh no." I went to the secondary mine, and there, Mages with a Monolith were blocking it. My hand reached for the "G" key, but I saw that one of the heroes was a Negrej Golem, so I decided to take a risk. At home, on turn 117, Elves and wood were in the fort. On turn 121, this whole brigade, with a full trade in 1 market, breaks the Golems and discovers a dungeon with a dragon nest, which gives me a chance. On turn 123, the dragons are defeated, and with a buyout in the fort, I get 2 of them. The Pegasi in the Monolith are defeated, and I end up on the opponent's secondary mine. Mullich appears, cuts down the horses, and takes the dungeon. With my turn, I cut down 2 of his horses and block the Monolith. Then, I give up, because I had lost 4 Grej horses. Thanks for the game!

I chose quite a template for myself: one opponent gets his native secondary mine, and the other gets a dungeon with a dragon nest – it was fun. But if I hadn't lost 4 Grej horses on the Monolith, I would have had a better chance. Thanks for the game

We all got wrecked, got something like Troglodytes, but immediately got an external dwelling of Minotaurs. Had problems with logistics the whole game, secondary hero turned out to be native, so I Portaled more Minotaurs there too, found a Level 1 Griffin Conservatory, took it with a scout hero, losing almost all the Troglodytes that I had already wasted on shooter blocks. My main hero leveled up fine, Tactics, Attack... took a 116 Green Rampart town through a portal. On the secondary Dungeon town I picked up a view finder, another Griffin Conservatory, and 2 Hives, one of them out of reach... and so the first week ended. My main hero ran through another portal from the Rampart territory with an Angel (forgot to mention, I found Boots of Speed on the Green player's territory :D). The main hero started leveling Leadership (how could it not be?), started working with Chain Lightning, taking money, breaking through to other places. In Vision from my main, along a roadless path, a Dragon Utopia, where the opponent's scout hero was roaming as early as the first week. On day 122, I fly into the opponent's main town, it turns out, and chase away his main hero, then on an Angel I get chased away by his Angel for -11 Hounds. I resurrect at the secondary Dungeon town, take a Hive and Teleport to the secondary Snow town (I didn't even go there!) and the Griffin Conservatory, which had a circus with 8 Wyverns, 15 Minotaurs, and 1 Angel. With Morale, they eat the Angel, 4 Wyverns, and 1-2 Minotaurs. Anti-Morale nonsense, but I play on. I respawn some army and try to break through to the opponent's view finders. In short, it ends with me capturing the Brown Castle on days 125-127, also taking three Griffin Conservatories there with no losses. On day 131, from the stables, I crash into the main town, and from there on day 132, I take the Dragon Utopia for a Teapot (+4 Chain, +2 Shield, +3+3 Morale and Luck — a mini Dragon Utopia). Stats become 19-16-11-11, I have Mass Earth already, but I see Müllich who takes the Earth Book from the Green Dragons and breaks into the treasure zone which I am also entering with a bunch of Pandora's Boxes. Though Müllich had Attack and Knowledge stats no higher than 4 the whole game, and I already have 35 Minotaurs, 39 Medusa Queens, 27 Evil Eyes, 4 Unicorns, 6 Angels, 20 regular Elves, 12 Wyverns. On day 133, I crush the opponent with a big army:
4 Brown Bears, 35 Orcs, 10 Grechen Rocs, 15 regular Rocs, 41 Wyverns, 10 Hounds, and a Goblin
Stats: 8-8-4- 22
Vs my 19-16-11 (63)
The opponent casts Berserk on the Unicorns, Angels, and Minotaurs — unsuccessfully, in my opinion! Then he tries to break through, but I cast Mass Slow and it's GG.
Thanks for the game.

P.S. For some reason, the template didn't let me choose DIAMOND ;)

03/17/2014 darkello (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def BA/IEHOK (Red, Stronghold, Kreg Heg, Sir Mullich) Ready or Not 133

...Shakti was leveling up normally, the tactic was attack...

indeed, it's normal, considering that both of these skills are starting skills:D :D :D

it's actually normal, considering that both of these skills are starting skills:D :D :D

that's the whole point of the sarcasm :D I'll continue describing the good stuff:smile03:

The loot was decent; I got a +5% Necropolis bonus at the start, and by the end of the second week, I would have gathered enough to build the Altar of the Dead. My opponent didn't have much luck. Thanks for the game.

The game went well, I got a good start with +5% Necropolis bonus, and by the end of the second week, I would have assembled an AOTD (Army of the Dead). My opponent didn't have a good game. Thanks for the match.

Thanks for the game!

In short, I didn't take a single rest at all! We started playing right away. I started playing because of 2 scouted Griffin Conservatories, Tazar, and the prospect of rich territory. We spread out evenly; in the end, on my zone there were 4 Griffin Conservatories, all scattered, since my territory occupied about 1/9 of the surface. On the first one I built 1, 2, 4, 6 in the Citadel. The scouted Griffin Conservatories — two of them, a single and a double, without greyd out. In the end, on day 121 a single with a scout hero, on 122 a double with Tazar, and then I went for an unscouted Griffin Conservatory guarded by Alamar with advanced earth, meaning with Resurrection ) with 3 Angels, 31 Archers, and 5 Champions, 19 Swordsmen (still single units) with artifacts stats 5-2-5-30. The Griffin Conservatory turned out to be strong with a grand stack. I went in, of course max, got out of there with 22 Archers, 3 Angels, and 1 Champion. On top of that, I got 4 Angels, making it 7 in total (all thanks to Resurrection and the Swordsmen meat shields :D ). On day 124 Gosh arrives, and I already have the Cloak +10 Necro, and Tazar with pope-like leveling: Armorer, Artillery, Wisdom, Luck :D.. On day 125 Gosh ran towards the opponent, taking a triple Griffin Conservatory along the way, leaving himself with 15 Archers and 100 Skeletons, and went on a long journey, while Taz went to the teleport above the Castle with 10 Angels on day 126. By the start of week 2 I had, in the meantime, collected all the gold, 4 Medusa Banks, 2 Naga Banks; I had already built Angels. On day 127 I fly into the teleport, take a look around, and there are 3 Griffin Conservatories (one heavily guarded) and a Dragon Utopia. On day 131 I collect 2 Griffin Conservatories (2-3), totaling 15 Angels plus the growth from the Castle (18). On day 133 I take a triple Dragon Utopia without losses and books with Taz, +3+4 all red orb, find Boots and Gauntlets in the treasure zone, immediately splitting on day 133 as well, and on this wonderful turn I take the Inferno castle with 100 Skeletons and 15 Archers by Gosh. Due to severe lack of money, I don't build a Citadel there, sit down to rest for the night; Gosh gets beaten up :DDDDDDDDDDDDD with Expert Armorer, Advanced Sorcery, and Expert Earth. Match over, all that.. On day 134 I take the guarded Griffin Conservatory with 14 Angels, and it is max :D. Angels are already 22-23.. With Taz I push down from the Inferno opponent, whom I simultaneously captured on day 137. A Griffin Conservatory for 3 Angels and junction with the opponent's scout heroes. Reconnaissance goes there and sees a Dragon Utopia. On day 141 I stand on the Dragon Utopia, without attacking (triple). On day 142 I bring the growth, take the meat, leaving the low-tier units, kill the Dragon Utopia — there is a +2 HP flask and 2 earth spell books.. Then I started chasing the opponent across the entire map with a bunch of Mages who have Teleport thanks to the earth spell book. In one of the chases, a bribe follows, allowing me to subsequently upgrade to FB with 29 Archers )))))
well, the FB was a formality

thanks for the game

A good layout with an external dwelling of psychs and a triple console, but there was nothing to counter 20+ angels on the third week. I built up to Mage Guild 5, managed to take three Dragon Utopias, but didn't get control anywhere; in the end, there was nowhere left to run and I had to surrender.
Thanks for the game!

despite the fact that there were practically no trees on the map, the mage still managed to win :smile43:

At level 126, I merged my main, Labetta, at level 12, and the question arose about choosing a new main. At level 132, I managed to level up Arlash to level 10, but the blue team announced their surrender.
Thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game!

despite the almost complete lack of trees, the mage managed to win! :smile43:

Thank you for the game!

Started with one of my restarts. Excellent starting layout, 2 roads. On 112, I free a prison with a native hero, scouted 3 Griffin Conservatories!!! Kiryu escaped into the underground, where he ran into one-way portals. I claim some gold, built hordes in the castle. I'm building a chain to churn out griffins, but the opponent types GG.
