05/02/2014 Logistic (blue, Castle, Valeska, Izra) loses to Akella (red, Rampart, Ivor, Dessa)

Decided to help out with skeletons, a very slow strategy. One-sided game, with an exit on the main path. On turn 123, he merged into a maximum concentration.

Thanks for the game!

05/02/2014 DaU (Blue, Inferno, Pyre, Pyre) def. Mike L (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) balance 132

I managed to pull through. There was one road to the main Castle, with a hidden demon lair. On the second turn, I took a hidden lair of Bone Dragons. My opponent came on turn 131 with 20 Minotaurs. I holed up in the secondary Castle and attacked with a mage: 4 power, 45 mana – with ice spells. I had 25 demons with me, and some more in reserve.

We played a Large size game according to the Hv rules. I consumed 2 Pandora artifacts for 5k gold each before my opponent attacked. The opponent retreated and didn't have enough money for a new army, so he conceded.

Thank you for the game.

All rests were chosen. On the control turn, the opponent declared a block, and there was no save.
It didn't work out for fun.

Confirming, I messed up, didn't skip my turn so there would be an autosave. My opponent doesn't believe I had a block, so accordingly, "gg".

He positioned his army on a hill and spent all his money, and then his father with the oil came, plus the terrain was against me.
Thanks for the game.

02.05.14 Svetogor (Blue, Castle, Caitlin, Nimbus) def Spinhead (Red, Swamp, Bron, Tazar) 142 6LM10a 127

After the first restart, the opponent decided to play. Got a decent respawn, had enough gold for development, 2 external dwellings of griffins, took one on the first week, left the external dwelling of swordsmen behind the archers, the road to the underground had normal guards, took them while Necro Nimbus was the main hero. passed through 5 defense stat boosts and leveled up Necro and Logistics, built up the castle pretty well, but lingered on the respawn and the third week. only reached the opponent's ramp on 126, killed 2 of his heroes and immediately took the ramp at the Citadel. left Nimbus there with a small army, 10 griffins remained in my castle, 6 swordsmen and 35 pikemen in the army, didn't buy them, saved gold for construction, also didn't take 120+ skeletons with Nimbus there, left them nearby on my slow carrier... that was a mistake of course, should have taken them. I could have also built Cavalry there right away and bought a couple, but didn't do that either, ended my turn....then the computer attacked - defended easily, but then Tazar showed up...and attacked. Nimbus had 3 6 6 3 (30) 16 Marksmen, 4 Swordsmen, 14 Pikemen, 7 Griffins, 5 Boars and 11 Skeletons, Tazar had 3 11 3 1 (8) 1 Serpent Fly. 8 Wyverns, 10 Basiliks, 12 Lizardmen...didn't help, the archer who hit for 70 HP and the Citadel tower carried me...I covered my marksmen and finally shot back. Tazar runs when 15 Marksmen are left and writes gg. Thanks for the game!

Interesting game, with three main encounters, a myriad of scout skirmishes - levels 20, 30.
A tight start, around 113 I lost to 19 diamond golems, road to only one secondary skill, blocked (never took it), another secondary spawned bugged - off-road deep in the respawn, couldn't enter it. There's an angel cache behind wood - but no small caches, few troops, killed almost all the non-minor timer by the end of the week. Eventually found an external market, two more Griffin Conservatories. Angels were built in the Citadel, cache taken on the first week.
Double GO - Dragon Flies and Cyclopes, decided to take home Dragon Utopias and come out late, but with Archangels. Boldly on 122 I send Vestan deep into the respawn). The chain picks up a Griffin Conservatory, Dragon Fly Hives (4+6), the first Dragon Utopia gave money for Archangels, another portal there too. Vestan runs to the second Dragon Utopia, via a circular chain through the main, across the respawn, through a Dragon Fly Hive, and 9 Archangels, 8 Wyverns and a necro-feed arrive to meet him - giving a red orb.
In the center I see Goshun zipping past me, leaving along the road. The next turn I catch a powerful level 30 witch with the Magic specialty, Intelligence, and Logistics; she trains with Septienna, kills a decent scout, reaches the central dungeon and reveals Goshun at a Dragon Utopia. Nothing to do, I attack with the red orb, immediate resign (could have been a mistake).
In the first face-to-face - blues have about 700 skeletons, 3 angels, 20 Wyverns, 1+1 cavaliers, 1+1 skeletons, +2 speed, I have 9 Archangels, 4 Champions, 27 Wyverns, 27 Marksmen, 6 Zealots, 11 Griffins, forces are comparable. We fought, skeletons can't catch Archangels - resign. Opponent flies all over; with expert Logistics, Pathfinding and stables I somewhat compensate. With scouts I manage to push back and recapture the central dungeon a couple of times, Goshun returns - this lets me take the max Dragon Utopia which gives KO, then all level 5 in a box.
With a growth of 6 Archangels I fear nothing, control the center and passages to secondaries. Opponent showed considerable ingenuity, built Archangels in a secondary for the first turn and attacks me in a dungeon-Citadel. I have shackles, red orb removed, much more mana. First turn I meteor the catapult, then he blows up my Archangels, I resurrect - mana decided it, gg.
Thanks for the thrilling game!

ptzVptz (red, castle, Caitlin, Mullich) def Spinhead (blue, rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 115 8MM6a
The starting area was great, with a hidden stash of Angels and Monks, and a Naga bank. The army was weak, with 35 copies, 35 mages, and 11 archers. But with Mullich, it's easy to lure monsters and I easily made my way to the computer zone, losing only a few mages. It became more difficult there; I encountered two groups on the road: a Pandor with 5k gold, guarded by 19 swordsmen with an upgraded stack, and another 19 swordsmen blocking the Naga bank. Both groups hindered my progress to the computer, but Mullich was helpful again, and my losses were minimal. I leveled up Mullich's attack and earth magic. On the next turn, I built cavalry and captured the computer, but then I received a message that the game was conceded.
GG, thanks for the game.
