Posts from “Two Seasons: Summer-Autumn 2014” Tournament. Online games for rating (reports, discussions).

On the first [map] I found three external dwellings of cats (managed to upgrade 2) and two of minotaurs. Didn't have time to take the dragon external dwelling, and I found it only after building the portal. Also discovered two Dragon Fly Hives and a Griffin Conservatory. The Dragon Fly Hives turned out to be minimal, the Griffin Conservatory was a double.
From the prison I got Lacus level 20, all good, but only expert fire magic [among spells], picked up a couple of artifacts for stats.

I came out on day 123 with 15 cats and 23 minotaurs through giants with Grand Standards, they punished [us] hard, but gave earth magic in the last slot.

Then I slowly fed [my] army in the center, waiting for [my] exit with Archangels and Dragon Utopias, in the end I couldn't handle a pack of Beholders with my scout hero.

Thanks for the game!

Good game, thanks for playing.

Couldn't defeat 42 Grey Ghouls that were blocking the way to the portal and the secondary objective. Thanks for the game.

Got 2 native heroes and Tazar + Air Elemental dwelling, but then things started going wrong: the respawn is small and poor, the secondary zones (swamp and snow) are also tiny, plus they forced Artillery onto Tazar :( Barely scraped together enough for the birds and was planning to rush the opponent through the secondary at the start of month 2 on a gamble, but Gunnar showed up and decided to play for a long game. On day 125 I entered the grass treasure zone through the swamp, managed to take the mini Dragon Fly Hive, level Gunnar to 5, and set up at the second Dragon Fly Hive, but the opponent didn't get lucky :(
Thanks for the game.

There was 1 Hive on 8 Wights and 1 Colossus on 2 Angels. There was nothing left to do on day 114. With this mega-army, I broke through the Guardian of Order with 80 Unicorns on day 123. I immediately took the Castle, and a couple of small Hives. But somehow, everything was drawn out. The army was weak, so I decided not to attack immediately, but then it all dragged on, and...

Moner was perfectly buffed. Offense, defense, logistics, scouting, earth, water, tactics, and wisdom (which wasn't really needed).

Tazar attacked on day 227 without mana. I had about 400 mana. My stats were 40, 33, 23, 20.

Well, basically, this was the first time I taught Tazar a lesson. :)

Thanks for the game.

In the first week I took all computer towns (Citadel + Swamp + Inferno), found a Griffin Conservatory-3, the computer placed bears in its Castle. At the start of the second week I upgraded the bears and entered the Griffin Conservatory with Kyrre and Oil. I had very little money for meat, lost 1 bear. I went to the treasure zone, cleared it. There were 2 mini Dragon Fly Hives, a level 5 hat, and a Griffin Conservatory 2-4. I stopped at the Conservatory, there was a break in the game, then we continued, I forgot about it and left, and on top of that managed to give the computers back 2 towns within a week) I had to take the Conservatory with a Scout (3rd skill), then at the start of the third week I broke through GO into the Dungeon - 19 Greater Hydras, with Oil almost without losses, but on the other side Magic Elementals. What could I do - I went in, they beat up my whole army, -3 bears, 2 Angels, and all the meat. I continued with 4 Angels and 1 bear. Over the week I cleared the main treasure zone except the Dragon Utopias, gathered 40 Wyverns and took 4 Green Dragons. On the fourth week I started taking Dragon Utopias, then Kyrre hits GO and comes running. There were up to 50 Wyverns, 5 Archangels, but the stats were astronomical. I started taking Dragon Utopias en masse with Kyrre, while running away from Kyrre as far as possible. Kyrre had Wings and Town Portal, but no Dimension Door, so I managed to escape, but unfortunately the Dragon Utopias didn't give me exactly what I wanted. From 6 Dragon Utopias - Titan's set except the Shield, full Speed, and a big pile of various not-so-useful junk. I collected Armor of the Damned, found the Sword of the Undead in another zone, but the difference in stats was simply enormous. The opponent teleported home from the main treasure zone and started taking my towns. I poked around a bit in yet another treasure zone, then ran towards Kyrre, hoping to position myself so I could reach him and maybe think of something. But Kyrre covered Kyrre, and in the final there was no chance. With equal attack, the difference in defense was almost 40.
Thank you for the game)

The begin was very good, I cleaned 4 Crypts (1 - max, 3 - with 5 vampires) with Clavius' arrow and killed own PC till the week 2. On the second week had got 1 angel from conservatory, and find out an opponent in middle village near my PC. There had got psychists' dwell and going to scout opponent. Because of lack of scouts' heroes was choosed wrong pass, and had decided to get more advantage on the map that I scouted already, beacause afraid that opponent had more army than mine or had good spells, etc. I was amazed by seeing armor +6 spell power, which were guarded by 50-99 dendroids. I were defeated by dendroids, because of lack time on timer. I was needed to force battle in the not good sutiation, - trees moraled and killed my flyies. I could try to cheat trees by angel, but afraid to lose him too :)
I spent very much time on thoughts and fightings and in the lack of time did wrong moves, which ended terribly.
