Posts from Spring 2014 season. Online ranked games (reports, discussions).

In the first week, I used hydras in the castle, had a hidden stash of hydras, and 2 nests with 12+8 wyverns.
In the first nest, I lost all the meat and 2 wyverns because I forgot to transfer the artifacts.
As a result, I lost another 4 wyverns on days 10-19 against necoknights for a box of 90 gnolls...

In the second week, I focused on nagabanks, got a box worth 15,000 experience, maxed out the gnome mine, built a library and arena, and split into 2 castles to learn the Slow spell, even though Tazar was an air expert. But I still found a way to learn Haste.

On day 124, Tazar was about to reach the Guardian of the Fortress (GOF). Due to lack of time, he didn't break through it and instead focused on leveling up with a fly spell.

On day 125, the GOF dropped 20-49 angels, a utopia for 10-19 gray dwarves in the center for the Fire Book, and cyclops for boots +2 to everything. In general, a lot of good stuff.
Tazar rushed to the area where the Crystal Maze (KZ) was spotted.

The opponent surrendered due to not having a good enough army stack to break through the GOF.

Thanks for the game!

We got some returns, opponent got a double and a Necro, thanks for the game

The opponent conceded when I had two Necromancer experts and 111 units, and I was about to take a couple of Mermaids.
Thanks for the game!

On turn 114, I managed to defeat two Ifrits along with a hero and a +1 defense for all creatures item :smile11: - it was a bit nerve-wracking. Not ideal, but not terrible either. On turn 132, my opponent lost. Thanks for the game.

I cleared 111 combat gnomes, 8 nagas, 45 regular gnomes, and captured an imp lair with 150 units. I added some skeletons, but it didn't make a big difference. I gained experience for the Necromancer and Earth magic. I have 2 hives and a hidden stash of horses, so I decided to play. In the end, on level 1, I took 3 hives with 25 harpies each, a +6 sword, 2 hidden stashes of horses. At the last moment, deep in the respawn area, I found and took a Consul 3, and a Golem 10-4-5-6. On level 121, I took a Utopia 1, but they gave me a lot of junk, mostly resistance and a +3 shield. It was a waste to take the angels; I lost 2 out of 3. On level 122, I cleared a gate guarded by devils; they were easily defeated because they were under an oil effect. I saw another Utopia. On level 123, I took a maxed-out Utopia with a Chalice and a Knowledge Vault. The path was blocked by angels, so I had to dodge. I saw 2 hives and managed to take only 1. I took the one behind the cats because there was also a chest there. The hive was maxed out, and the chest contained 15 Monarchs :cool:. I saw that my opponent was preparing to attack the gate with cyclops. I stood next to him. My opponent attacked the cyclops, but his army was not ready, and his stats were twice as bad. He took another hive and a Fortress. In the Fortress, the Necromancer's troops were much stronger.
Thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game.

Interesting game. On the respawn point, there were 3 mini-dungeons and 3 cons, but also a vampire cloak and 3 imps, along with some liches. I cleared all of that and by turn 124, I had 3 angels, 12 vivas, 12 mighty liches, and 400+ skeletons. Then came the fun part – running around with 2 main encounters and 10+ skirmishes with scouts. It helped that the very high-level Solmyr, whom I killed, came to my tavern. My opponent also skillfully stole a utopia from right under my nose, taking 2 archmages with devour. Nevertheless, I managed to defend the strategic Inferno city in the center, which kept changing hands, without using pass-through, although I did use an exploit to steal the red orb. I took my fifth mini-dungeon and prepared to attack the utopia. My opponent surrendered while defending a side respawn point. In the utopia, I got what I needed – a fifth-level hat and shackles!
Thank you for a good game.
