Generally, after HeroesWorld moved to a new server, a problem appeared with logging in on my home computer. I can only log in fully from work or at home from a different Windows installation. But I try not to boot that Windows, it's too problematic, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it or reinstalling it. That's why, even now, to post the logs I need to boot up the other Windows and then come back to this one. Why would I bother, when you've already made the one and only correct Solomonic decision. Disqualifying someone because their opponent doesn't get in touch – that's nonsense, I've never encountered that before.

PS I'll send you screenshots from my ICQ tomorrow ;), just in case you think I'm lying.

The last time I played SMK was with Palach in the Champions League qualifiers.

Honestly, this SCM is a mess.

The last time I played SMKa with Palach in the League Champions qualifier, and after that match I had no desire to play this template, but I don't like playing Mininostu as Red, so I crossed it out, and my opponent decided that SMKa was the lesser evil for him.
I took two rests, there was also a rest on meeting on 115 because ГО, as per its SMK custom, didn't spawn along the road. In the final distribution it turned out the same way. The roads were fast.

On 111 Shiva stood in front of fat guards on one of the secondary mines, Solmyr sneakily took archers on the second, and Damacon with power went towards the third. On 112 I broke a path to the shared secondary mine with the opponent, passed everything to Shiva, who immediately got various good skills and became the main hero. I took a Castle, Shiva went along the stat boosters, Solmyr with power and 5 spell power breaks through the archers and heads towards the ramp. Damacon on a single Gnoll bypassing the blockers takes the swamp on the shared secondary mine with the opponent. Solmyr takes the ramp, I buy back Shiva and go along the stat boosters here, and Tazar approaches the swamp. Next to the swamp there is a Well, so on 116 Solmyr breaks into it, replenishes mana to 30 and sits in the city fortified with a Stronghold to meet Tazar. As a result, Solmyr dies, but Tazar loses two Wyverns, nine Basilisks, some Lizardmen and Gnolls. Overall, it turned out not bad, but if Solmyr had had 40 mana, Tazar wouldn't have been able to win. At home, Nagas are in the Fort.

The second week I start by clearing a Pandora's Box for Mighty Gorgons, which contains 10k experience, Earth Magic is upgraded, and gives a Boots of Speed. Then a Conservatory-three is taken and another Pandora's Box for 10k experience. Near the Castle, Alkin takes a Dragon Fly Hive, it's max-level. I collect boxes with Elves and Centaurs in the treasure zone, a pre-max Dragon Fly Hive, no good artifacts.

On the third week I spotted a Dragon Utopia on the edge of the opponent's treasure zone and dragged Shiva there. I traded a quest axe for 20 thousand gold, which allowed me to comfortably buy everything in the ramp. The Utopia was minimum-level, gives an Hourglass of the Evil Hour. On the same day, Tazar rushes toward my capital but doesn't make it. I break Shiva into a Tower, pass troops along the chain. Tazar doesn't attack the city, and that's understandable, there's no mana there, stats are half as low. A surrender follows.

We played on a chess timer 16+6+1. SMKa works with it, of course, better than anarchy, but I won't play on it voluntarily anymore. Time kept running out in battles, several times it ended right during combat.

Thanks for the game!

A bad dancer blames his shoes...

A screenshot with a GO (Generated Object) on an off-road terrain – that’s a completely different pattern, and it’s generated quite often. In HL+U, for example, such generation bugs don’t have a decisive impact on the gameplay. Or they might, but much less frequently.

Respawn is average, but in the adjacent zone I pulled Tanta from the prison, whom I started to level up. Cleared the treasure zone on the second + 3 Dragon Fly Hives from the secondary, so by the end of the second week I had nearly 50 Wyverns. Then Tazik took the Dragon Utopia, there was КЗ, shackles, and shield + all, while Tant in the meantime started clearing Pandora's Boxes in a different direction, then went for the opponent, cleared 3 more Dragon Utopias for full control already. The opponent, seeing the army and jumps, decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game.

I surrendered with style — 2 native heroes on 74 Centaurs total, on 112 I took the swamp, but then things went to hell.

Not only did I lose all my Centaurs, but the swamp computer took back its Castle 3(!) times. We were playing with a chess clock, which I also drained to zero on 112 :D For the rest of the game, I was leaving 1k-2k moves for Kyrre, since I couldn't keep up with the turns due to difficult battles.

Somehow I managed to develop with 4 Dragon Fly Hives on 123, then into the treasure zone — more Dragon Fly Hives there, a Library. Because of the timer, I lost the ducks again, moving at half turns. I decide to take the Dragon Utopia — almost no feeders, but 36 ducks.

Max-level Dragon Utopia — I come out with 8 ducks, КЗ, a shield +4 all, a black orb, and something else good.

Week 3: I finish collecting Dragon Fly Hives. Via Summon and Resurrection I kill the 2nd Dragon Utopia(3) — there's a sword +5 all, the Admiral's Hat, all 5th level. I grade the ducklings — go looking for the opponent.

On 133 I take the computer's Conflux, from there Brissa from a prison runs to mama Turis, but 30 mana — I decide not to attack — Town Portal to Flax, transfer to Kyrryusha.

On his turn, the opponent writes ГГ. Nothing worthwhile was given up there. On the next turn, I would have closed in.

A somewhat bittersweet victory. I played like a complete noob, made a lot of stupid mistakes after the break due to being rusty, lost 4-5 full turns, threw away about 40 ducks, but the generator decided to give me the win anyway. Sorry for the luck :o

Thanks for the game!
