02.05.2014 VlaVor (Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def DOlllDb (Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar) 2sm4d(3) 137

Week 1
A few Orcs arrived. Built the Orc Tower; in the army are Axe Throwers and Goblins. Near the castle there is a dwelling of Goblins and Ogres. Unfortunately, the respawn turned out to be small. On the second day, Crag Hack breaks through the nearest passage past 10+ Pits (the terrain helped a lot) + breaks through a fairly easy treasure zone guard and captures the Castle only on 114. Found: Griffin Conservatory (1), Dwarf Treasury (min.), Naga Bank (min.), took the wood and ore mines. Explored other roads - one to theГО (Crystal Dragons), and the other to the snows past Vampires (quite a long run). In the end: Crag Hack level 5 (took Pathfinding, Shield), artifacts include Necklace of Swiftness (starting), Boots of Speed and Cartographer's Maps. Barely managed to build the Behemoth Cave (the market saved me). Counting every penny! 6 Heroes.

Week 2
Crag Hack turns back, takes the Griffin Conservatory, Dwarf Treasury, visits various bonus structures. Finally got Earth Magic! Scouts went north and discovered 2 Crypts, Stables, Medusa Stores, and a Utopia guarded by 20+ Master Genies. Crag Hack heads there and waits for the next week. Thanks to Sorug, I constantly traded gems for gold. Built the Castle, still lacking gold and resources, although I bought out all the Ogres (from the external dwelling), Behemoths, and Roc Birds. In the tavern I constantly watched Gunnar, who kept growing in skills. This worried me a lot! 8 heroes.

Week 3
Crag Hack takes the Naga Bank, Stores, Crypts and visits the Stable. Had enough gold to upgrade Behemoths and Birds. With this army he took the minimal Dragon Utopia, leaving only 2 Behemoths. Rewards: Vial of Lifeblood, Crossbow of Valour (I also had Glyph of Valour), Cloak of the Dragon Wing, Dragon Scale Shield. Well, at least now I have 20k gold and a fairly decent army in the castle. Heading back. Immediately notice the approaching army of Gunnar, who ran out of movement after emerging from the portal in my treasure zone. I buy everything available, Crag Hack buys a spellbook (expert Slow) and attacks. The opponent's army was much weaker than mine (he had 2 Angels each), the only problem was the 20 Wyverns. Thanks to expert Slow and Shield, victory went to the Barbarians (lost 50 Hordes): Gunnar fled with 2 Wyverns.

DOlllDb, thanks for the game! Better luck next time! :smile20:

On the spawn there were dwellings for archers and knights, and as it turned out, not much else of use. The entrance to the underground was 4 moves away by road, the other was in a neighboring zone (only opened on the 2nd week), leading to a gold mine and that's it... just wasted time... And overall the spawn was huge, like a labyrinth... 4 moves to the underground or also 4 moves to another zone by road... lost a lot of time on this. But it was a learning experience).
The opponent had 2 Griffin Conservatories on the spawn and an underground entrance one move from the castle... Convenient)).

Spent 3 weeks agonizing over angels and feeding the main hero. Opponent did the same, but grew about twice as fast).

On the 4th week completed the hut quest - got 15 liches - utterly useless). Bought a serious army (had saved up money) - was about to enter the underground through the other (distant) entrance to collect treasures - but then death came in some ridiculous way....)) Kyrre showed up after the stables with 25 attack, 4 Angels, 9 Green Dragons, 18 Griffins. And caught my Valeska before she could pass the second wave of troops....

There was nowhere to run, but the opponent came out on their own. After that, I managed to gain an advantage.
Thanks for the game.

After 3 restarts, a decent layout came. At the respawn there were 8 Dragon Fly Hives and one external dwelling of dragons; on 114 Shakti took two Dragon Fly Hives and the dragon external dwelling, and the rest was a matter of technique. He came out on 122 without oil, and maxed out experience already in the treasure zone. On 123, the opponent's surrender came; he didn't break the GO of upgraded Wyverns (his layout at the respawn was worse).

Iamsamstan (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def Logistic (red, Castle, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 133
Elf ambush, 117 units in the castle. I wanted to break the Gate of the Month from Vives on turn 2, but there was no Slow spell anywhere, so I ended up going to the edge of the treasure, visited the library, took a Consul 3, bracers, and an archer, and finally found them in the refuge! I beat up the Vives, and after some thought, I attacked Valya in the castle. There was a terrible stack of knights, 16 of them, but I had a 110 archer and more meat + healing, so the archer lasted 3 rounds, and then I finished off the knights with archers. Thanks for the game!

Peres3ka (red, Inferno, Octavia) vs. Loose Liverpool (blue, Dungeon, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 126

Week 1.
A total of 13 Gogs and 55 Imps were gathered. Quite a mess!)
I managed to collect enough resources by the end of the week for Efreet and everything before them, but without a castle.
The respawn point was bad (a labyrinth), but nearby (on day 2) there was an exit to another zone. I thought it might change, but it turned out to be just as bad as the original respawn point – a long road, surrounded by mountains...

Week 2.
Captured the second castle, a dwarven stronghold (I was afraid to attack it on the first week – I thought they might bury me...).
123 – discovered a consul, but it's still far from the path.
On day 126, I decided to take a Naga Bank and go straight to the consul.... I was ambushed in the Naga Bank) 30 Gogs, 4 Imps, 5 Efreet, 6 Demons, and a bunch of wood...
I surrendered.

Thank you for the game.
