03.09.2014 shameonyou (blue, Inferno, Xarfax, Gunnar) def Nevrotepichno (red, Conflux, Aenain, Aislin) 8mm6a 131

We played all random.

My starting position was below average at first - my favorite Inferno in the underground, no money, guards on the adjacent zone were grand archers, but I have Gunnar and Grindan. Small army, still no money. On 113 - took a dead-end village whose guards didn't generate, and the passage was obviously bugged through the mine. On 115 I ran to the opponent's Castle, on 116 I took the castle, in which the opponent kindly left un-bought Griffins and Swordsmen, and also built a Mage Guild. I found some amount of gold, a crypt, and most importantly 2 external dwellings of archers, which I immediately took, traded a bit on 3 marketplaces. At home, Pits at Citadel, opponent has Swordsmen at Citadel. I have a few cons 3-4, 2 hives each behind a crowd of Archmagi, but it's too early for that yet. On 124 I took the home external dwelling of Efreeti for 48 Energy Elementals, placed the Efreeti at home, bought them. Went to the center - there is a passage to pink, but through a swamp, didn't go. Gunnar had expert Earth, so I headed towards the opponent and on 127 took the main, surprisingly found no birds or even psychos, and the opponent himself was still sitting on his respawn :confused:. With 0 castles follows a forfeit.

Thanks for the game.

A somewhat bare respawn, shooter blocks, lack of gold, wrong priorities, and choosing the wrong path led to the fact that on 117 I only placed Earth Elementals at the Citadel, on 121 the Moon came, I broke through some blocks, started building a Mage Guild hoping for Armageddon, the Executioner arrived along with Chain Lightning... on 127 Gunnar runs in and takes the castle with un-bought meat, thanks for the game.

09/03/2014 Crazy_Warrior (red Inferno Nymus, Nymus) def (blue zloy_Geka Necropolis Galthran, Galthran) 126 gg opponent will mana

It's still better without extra units and going out early – it can be 10 times better, but there's no mana...
As a result, it slowed down, and with the help of calculations and the presence of devils, the opponent surrendered.

Somewhat bare respawn, ranged blockers, no gold, wrong priorities and choosing the wrong path led to the point where, on 117 I only placed Earth in the Citadel, on 121 Luna came, broke some blockers, started rebuilding the Mage Guild hoping for Armageddon, then a Paladin came with Chain Lightning... on 127 Gunnar runs in and captures the Castle with unrecruited troops, thanks for the game.

umm, sorry for the off-topic, but isn't the chance for Armageddon in Conflux zero, same as in Castle, Rampart, and Tower, it's a privilege of the "evil" ones.. :/

Graf_Bananov (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def sasapessX (blue, Rampart, Kairie, Kairie) balance 146

First, he went into the treasure, gathered 50 weevils, and the opponent had 200 goblins, 100 dogs, 20 rocs, and 8 bears, plus 17 attack and 6 defense. Against my 12 attack and 13 defense. He used speed and almost wiped out all my troops in one go.

Thanks for the game.

thanks for the game

Confirmed. I lingered on the respawn (trying to teach Galtran resurrection magic) and ended up 50 MP short of the red orb. Opponent breaks through my ГО from the center and takes the red orb. My army is stronger (despite the fact that he attacked with a weak stack and used an explosion to kill 13 of my ducks). He attacks with his main army, loses his entire army, and starts spamming earth elementals. The skeletons can't handle them all, and in the end he has 10 earth elementals left and finishes off the skeletons. Draw.

thanks for the game

I confirm.

The start was terrible: a block of Arch Devils (10-19 Angel external dwelling) on the road up and towards the GO, a block of Hydras (10-19 Naga Bank + prison) below, and 20-49 Manticores (prison, scroll). But we took all the losses, had to play. One relief was that a Stable was 10 steps along the road, so the tempo was somewhat okay.
On day 111, I bought 6 heroes, scouted 3 Pandora's Boxes and 3 Dragon Fly Hives.
Day 112: collected gold, Monere and Mullich arrived, cleared a Crypt (1500), ran Monere towards the Pandora for 20-49 Nomads.
Day 113: The Pandora had 10k gold (which saved me). Respawn is almost over, nowhere to go because of the blocks. Chains stretched toward the Dragon Fly Hives.
Day 114: 16k gold, thought everything was fine. I positioned under the Wyvern Nest.
Day 115: 21k gold and no more respawn (2 Crypts in the bumfuck of the world). From the meat (after the Nomads), only 25 Archers remained; Monere blunders by taking +1 Attack and returning under the Wyvern Nest. I build a Marketplace (since there's nothing else to collect, and no one to break the blocks).
Day 116: Blundering again because of money (not enough gold for an Angel), biting my nails and thinking what to do. Somehow, like a cancer, breaking 45 Centaurs with a growth stack using 3 Monks and 25 Bows, I pick up a bunch of gold and immediately send 2 heroes off-road upward (the block was in an inconvenient spot, so I didn't break it right away). They find about 2k gold.
Day 117: (need to take the Angel external dwelling). I return 18 Archers and 3 Monks to Monere, break the Dragon Fly Hive (8), losing all Archers. With an Angel and 8 Wyverns, I fly to the external dwelling. I break 16 Arch Devils (-1 Wyvern), take the external dwelling (-2 Wyverns). Scout heroes barely scrape together 3k gold and buy an Angel. I lead Monere's army along the chains to the Dragon Fly Hives below.
Day 121: I take the Dragon Fly Hives (25 Wyverns). With Monere, I hit the Pandora for 30 Crusaders (10k experience - 1 Angel). I level up Earth Magic and run to the only Griffin Conservatory. Griffin Conservatory is 3, I take it freely, split the Angels, break the blocks, collect the goodies.
Day 122: I drag myself to the GO (60+ Efreet + growth stack).
Day 123: I break the GO (-1 Angel, -1 Wyvern). Almost no mana, I expert Pathfinding, run to the central Castle.
Day 124: No map vision, I go the wrong way, spend the night god knows where, having overfarmed!!!??? Monere.
Day 125: I'm 1 turn short of reaching the central Castle, mana 24 (have KZ).
Day 126: I collect goodies, 3 Dragon Fly Hives in the center, sit in the Castle and build a Wyvern Nest there!!!!! wtf. Mana is still 24.
Day 127: I take the Angel dwelling in the center (8 Angels), 1 Dragon Fly Hive (53 Wyverns). I lose 4 Wyverns to the growth Efreet. I build a chain for delivery (no sign of the opponent).
Day 131: I stayed overnight on day 127 in my home Castle and decide to run Monere from there (Stable along the way) + I see +6 Hat and Level 5 Hat at the start of the center.
Day 132: Opponent arrives at the Castle, I skip the +6, take the Level 5 Hat, Pandora (4 Chaos Hydras), break the Dragon Utopia (Sword +4). Town Portal to the central Castle.
Day 133: Opponent doesn't attack, attacked with a scout hero, I see his situation is utterly dire: 35 Wyverns, 3 Angels. I run for the Red Sphere. Town Portal to the Castle. 1 turn short of reaching the opponent.
Day 134: Opponent takes a Pandora and writes GG.

Thanks for your attention.

05.09.2014 EGIPET (red, Necropolis, Galtaran, Galtaran) def SAIIIQA (blue, Inferno, Marius, Marius) jebus cross 114

I confirm I rushed and attacked the Hive of Serpents without checking the number of units. :D (cancer)

09/03/2014 wariator (red, random, Castle, Sorceress, Vocal) def SasapessX (blue, random, Fortress, Dessa, Dessa), Jebus L-U 133

In the first week, I secured a hydra lair and built it up in my castle, resulting in 121 hydras. In the second week, I built up hydras in a secondary location, resulting in 131 hydras. Next to the castle, there were two utopias, one of which was fully upgraded. There was also a library nearby. After a couple more days, everything would have been perfect, but on day 133, an opponent attacked with 3 archangels, 30 wyverns, and high stats. Even with all my troops, I couldn't put up a decent fight, even though I was confident in my victory just a turn before)))

Thanks for the game.

09/06/2014 NiksoNakm (red, random, Castle, Adelaide, Adelaide) def DaU (blue, random, Castle, Inham, Rion), m200 134. Caught the opponent in a neutral Castle on day 127, reinforced my troops, and killed the main hero. On day 134, the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

06.09.2014 NiksoNakm (red,random,Castle,Adela,Adela) def DaU (blue,random,Castle,Ingham,Rion),Balance 134.

It was a balance template.

Good game, but 1 fatal mistake helped me throw it away: instead of building a Titan in Conflux, I built Water Elementals, and the opponent brought reinforcements that I didn't expect. My mage was stronger — with Spell Power 8 vs the opponent's 4 — but NiksoNakm had more meat. He used Frost Ring with Adela, I used Lightning Bolt with Rion for 210 damage; if I'd had a Titan, I could have held.

And now briefly about the game:

On week 1, I got: Ingham, Rion, Cuthbert. I slowly developed: breaking guards for secondary heroes, on one of them a Efreet horde, took it on day 116 with the loss of 30 Pikemen.
On week 2, taking the Dwarf dwelling with Rion was oh so difficult: 26 Archers killed only 5 Dwarves with 2 volleys. But 1 Efreet lured them pretty well, though the Archers took a few losses: -2. I took Conflux, went through wasteland breaking 30 Greyscale Griffins; a tent with 60 HP healed the Efreet (I didn't have enough money for a second one, and later no time to bring it), lost only a couple of my Griffins; there was a prison — a level 1 hero, then garbage fights, and nothing interesting after that.
Thanks for the game.

09/03/2014 wariator (red, random, Castle, Sorceress, Vocal) def SasapessX (blue, random, Fortress, Dessa, Dessa), Jebus L-U 133

In the first week, I secured a hydra lair and built up my Castle, ending up with 121 and 6 hydras. In the second week, I built up hydras in a secondary town, ending up with 131 and 12 hydras. Next to the Castle, there were two Utopias, one of which was fully upgraded. There was also a Library nearby. A few more days, and everything would have been fine, but on day 133, an opponent attacked with 3 Archangels, 30 Wave Riders, and high stats. Even with all my troops, I couldn't put up a decent fight, even though I was confident in my victory just one turn before!)))

Thanks for the game.

Everything was great! The pace lived up to expectations! Thanks for the game!

06.09.2014 skaDi (red, swamp, Tazar, tazar) def Soulen (blue, necro, Galtran, galtran), JC 121.

111 Came with 3 stacks of Gogs, saw a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, the road up and down was blocked, but since there was 1 rest left I decided to play. Bought 7 heroes, the layout is not great due to the blocks. Found an external dwelling of dragons.
112 Found another couple of Dragon Fly Hives, the Gog necroed, 2nd Aislinn advanced, got a few skeletons. Spread out further, nothing interesting, the blocks can't be broken without losses yet.
113 Teching up, beating golems with Gogs without any problem thanks to shield +3, 128 skeletons. Find 2 more Dragon Fly Hives. Aislinn beat the dragons.
114 With Gogs I break the block of gold golems and send a scout hero up. Still nothing interesting. Skeletons around 150.
115 Decide to break the Pandora with Gogs for 9 Manticores (10k experience). Log + armor + tactics + attack (lost 16 skeletons).
116 Skeletons at 180, go beat the Dragon Fly Hive guard with Aislinn (66 gr Harpies), lose 22 skeletons. And 11 zombies (meat for the Hive).
117 Break the Dragon Fly Hive with Aislinn (-35 skeletons) 6 Wyverns. Everything is grim, trying to think of something. The Gog is stalling.
121 I break through with 6 Wyverns, 1 dragon, and 1 horse against 69 gr Shooters, and attack the Dragon Fly Hive (12) without skeletons. The Wyverns poop twice.
