06.12.2014 Graf_Bananov (Red Castle, Valeska) def yarik1987 (Blue Stronghold, Gurnisson) Jebus-Cross 122

I got a lot of gold and resources. Built creatures early and also had a dwelling. Saved up 5 by 121 and decided to break through the GO (10-19 Titans), but overestimated my creatures. The Titans killed everyone, and without much thought I surrendered.

Thanks for the game.

Had a dwelling for birds and creatures. Built a large army, took 2 Utopias, but they gave nothing useful, and then the opponent came with 200 demons, big skills, and Mephala and wiped me out.

The GO was strong on Jebus (5-9 Crystal Dragons) and came out late; as soon as it came out it was killed immediately. Thanks for the game.

Captured the 2nd castle early on day 115 as Elves and started developing with them, due to a lack of resources to rebuild my own castle, but the opponent had a double and the huge elven armies destroyed their own brethren on the mage side.

Thanks for the game.

Captured the angel dwelling early, but got carried away capturing vampire and black knight dwellings, while the opponent meanwhile collected 6 behemoths on the respawn, attacked a Utopia and with Blindness carried the GO of 50-99 Thunderbirds, and started gathering the center; the respawns were nearby, I saw it and tried to take out my own GO of 10-19 Hydras, but the losses were huge, and I decided to surrender.
Thanks for the game.

Jebus Cross was strong and came out late, as soon as it came out it was immediately killed, thx for the game.

It happened, thanks for the game!

Danchik lost to BillyBons.

They played some kind of template that didn't resemble Jebus at all. He managed to build a Nag in the Castle and Giants on the second level. And it seems like there's a desire and an army to do something, but what to do? ... He didn't see a single Utopia throughout the game. The Guild didn't provide control. The opponent had a more difficult start, but his first Utopia gives +3+5 all, the second gives an Air book, and the green player in the Guild has a Teleport. With full control, he was quickly caught in one of the treasures; by the way, these treasures are small but scattered chaotically everywhere. Overall, the game was enjoyable (especially after capturing the orange Tower with a built Capitol and Royal Hags in the Castle), but the template was a bit confusing, and it was unclear what and where things were located.

Thanks for the game.

13.02.2015 korvet (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) lose TwinkieThecake (blue, stronghold, Gretchin, Kylie) 2SM4d(3) 146
used all restarts, revealed 2 Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Fly Hive and a chest for 50-99 wolves, at 112 outmaneuvered the wolves with Death Wave by Septienna, finished them off with Tazar - inside 5k gold (which is good, because on the respawn there was not a single crypt), at 114 spawned on greater demons, they got morale((((guarding boots), in the end on the guard of the secondary I lost all the rest (45 gargoyles with GS), finished them off at 115 with basilisks, captured the secondary. At 121 I broke through with growth into the passage to the second secondary, there I revealed another 2 Conservatories. At 123 I rushed home to break the first Conservatory (the one-case), then the Dragon Fly Hive and the second Conservatory, but all plans were ruined by the opponent breaking into the respawn. In the end I took the Conservatory and the Dragon Fly Hive (pre-mines), and with 10 ducks and an angel I decided to go into the underground treasure zone. The opponent in the meantime took the Conservatory and the Dragon Fly Hive on my respawn. In the treasure zone I got lucky with a chest for 10k XP for 33 trolls (Tazar leveled Earth, Shield and Prayer were up, but I had 12 mana). In the end the opponent captured the main and went into his treasure zones. At the start of the third, after clearing the treasure zone (3 Dragon Fly Hives in total 26 ducks and 1 angel), I went to take the Conservatories on the secondary (trying with all my might to keep the opponent's horses away so they wouldn't reveal the Conservatories). Took the Conservatories - two 3s, went to clear the second treasure zone, where behind 110 mages in a chest there was all Earth magic. While I was clearing the treasure zone, the opponent already started running Kyrre towards me. And I reached his secondary from the treasure zone, refilled mana and attacked him (7 angels, 34 ducks, 50 greater dwarves (given for a quest) and 60 mana). Stat-wise he was much better than me and also had all Earth magic, army-wise also 7 angels, over 30 ducks and some meat. In the final we both cast 2 Implosions and I surrendered.
Thank you to the opponent for the game!

Also, where did the computer (and it's orange!!!) come from on Jebus? :confused:

13.02.2015 TwinkieThecake (blue, Stronghold, Gremlin, Kairie) def korvet (red, Swamp, Tazar) 2SM4d(3) 146
The start was tough: on the very first day, I accidentally killed a hero by clicking on a unit (2500 damage to the cat). I only managed to get three heroes moving. It was good that there was a stable near the castle, and nearby, for 19 golems, there were ribs. Also, a scout revealed a small axe near the demons. Another scout found a scouting item, which revealed a secondary castle. He also found a cloak with +2 to knowledge and spell power (behind the hounds), a portal for diamond golems, and an ogre lair. The road to the secondary castle was guarded by wolves with guard skills. (Unfortunately, a berserker amulet, guarded by marksmen, was placed right on the road to the secondary castle). On day 112, after checking the tavern, I saw Kiryusha (I was overjoyed, as I had 2300 movement points with the stables), bought her, and sent her through the stable to capture the secondary castle. On day 113, after setting up a chain in advance, I took the axe, the ribs, and passed the army to Kiryusha, who broke through to the secondary castle and captured it. Immediately, I cast growth, bought a book for Kiryusha, and bought Dessa, who went with the army to clear the nearest crypt of undead. With the remaining money + money from the crypt, I bought a hero and set up a chain to capture the cloak and the portal. On day 114, the plans changed slightly, as the ogre lair, along with a military factory and a pile of wood, was guarded by a horde of gnomes. I had to use heroes to take chunks of gold and wood from the neutrals to build an orc tower. On day 115, after supplying orcs (there were 11 of them), Kiryusha broke through the gnomes (lost some goblins and wolves), bought ogres from the dwelling, gathered the remaining free resources from the respawn, and left Kiryusha with the birds near the portal. One of the scouts revealed a nearby respawn, which turned out to be a rampart. On day 116, after breaking through the golems, I entered the portal and saw that the exit was guarded by a hundred undead, so I decided not to engage prematurely. I decided to break through to the nearby respawn (guarded by a group of harpies, so I lost 1 bird and 1 ogre, of which there were 8). Near the guard post, I found a consulate, free resources, and a crypt. On day 117, after defeating all of the above, I found 2 gnome lairs, which were standing next to each other. I leveled up Kiryusha to 5 with the neutrals (already with basic earth magic), built a chain, cast growth on the stronghold, and started thinking about week 2 (where to find money to buy an army). On day 121, after gathering the found 2 chests with heroes, I bought the main core of the army (32 gnomes, 11 ogres, and 6 birds). Kiryusha took 2 stones of experience, went onto the road, and revealed a market. On day 122, I took the rampart castle, advanced Kiryusha's earth magic, cast growth on the guild, and sat down to replenish mana (there were stables on the road to the castle, so Kiryusha had 2800+ movement points). On day 123, the heroes ate the free resources near the castle, defeated a group of centaurs for 3 chests, Kiryusha gained experience on the chests, and started moving further down the road, which led to the opponent's respawn. On the same turn, I upgraded the gnomes (3 speed – how can this be?). On day 124, with a rush, after breaking through the passage guard (a hundred marksmen), I burst into the opponent's respawn with the desire to take his castle before the start of the week, but, unfortunately, I went the wrong way (My army: 18 ogres, 31 combat gnomes, 6 birds, and a few wolves. Kiryusha's stats: 7-7-6-7, 70 mana, oil and a potion of healing). On day 125, I went in the right direction, revealing a lair for ponies and a consulate 3 on the way, and sent the heroes to scout the opponent's respawn. On day 126, I broke through the ponies (with oil, it wasn't particularly difficult), entered the lair (8 views), and went to the opponent's castle. At the same time, the heroes were fighting, and I was losing due to the superiority of the flies in speed (later, with 7 units on the heroes, I started to win). On day 127, I took the opponent's starting castle and sat down to replenish mana (or stayed to guard). I built a chain to supply the army through the stable and started thinking about how to take the consulate. On day 131, after buying the increase, I broke the consulate (lost 7 ogres, the remnants of the gnomes, and 10 gnomes from the fresh increase) and, having 3 angels, took the gnomish town. I decided to return to my respawn to take my lairs. From this moment on, I will shorten the story, as the further actions are not particularly interesting. In short, on day 135, Kiryusha ran to the upper treasure, before that, she ate 2 hives, a consulate 2, and the heroes defeated 3 medusa huts (at the moment, I had 5 angels, 24 ducks, and a few wolves). On day 136, I took a box (gave 20 air units) and an artifact +1 to all for mages, checked the utopia (minimum), but didn't go into it, decided to bring a pikeman and archers from the castle. On day 137, I took a teapot for 50 elementals of air, on day 141, for 133 medusas, I took a box for the whole earth, took a lair, and went to the utopia. On day 142, I ate the utopia (gave a book of water, a diplomat's amulet, a hat with +4 to knowledge, and a badge of valor). On day 143, the heroes took a consulate, another lair, bought an army, and Kiryusha stood near the magic fountain. On day 144, after passing all the artifacts to Kiryusha, I entered the magic fountain and received 520 mana (13 knowledge + expert intellect). After that, I teleported to the swamp castle, bought a group of flies and wolves, and went to look for the opponent. I ran around until day 146, until the opponent himself ran out of the underground, took the rampart secondary castle, and settled in it to replenish mana. Of course, I ran after him (Kiryusha's stats: 21-21-11-13 (498), implant for 1700 / Tazar: 9-15-11-6 (60), implant for 1125). On the next turn, the opponent attacks me and casts an implant on the angels in the first round (2 out of 7 survived). And I, on my turn, cast an implant on his angels, but killed them all. Then the opponent cast his last implant on my ducks, and I cast it on his. At the same time, I killed his army in melee. Thanks for the game!

Bad start for me, lost some days out of the road. Hard to identify what map was from anarchy templates. But in the end I reached a zonoe with few good artefacts, 2 utopias, and i fond also 2 libraries of enlightement. Then i went toward through tough guards into opponent teritory and took his main castle. Final battle was won by 45 monach wyverns and better attributes on Mephala.

Confirmed.
This game is the first one against a competent player in 6.5 years.
The starting resources were good, the second town was also a Castle, on a swamp, but the road was fast. Due to lack of knowledge, I didn't find the second lumber mills and quarries right away.
In the end, I chased Tyris for an expert resource (there was a book of earth), while my opponent came to the Stronghold. In the final battle, I completely crushed him.

After the restarts, I got a good start, crypts near the Stronghold ensured the fastest development. When the opponent used his restarts, he got a very bad start, with a lot of guards on all sides. In the end, he lost on one of them and surrendered.

Captured the angel dwelling early, but got carried away capturing vampire and black knight dwellings, meanwhile the opponent gathered 6 uleks at the respawn, attacked a utopia, and with blindness carried the GO (50-99 thunderbirds) and started taking the center, the respawns were nearby I saw it and tried to take out my own GO (10-19 hydras), but the losses were huge and I decided to surrender.
Thanks for the game.

That was something!!!

Danchik defeated the Night Troll.

They acted like cowards against humanity.
After a few restarts, I got 25 Elves with a Castle.
In the first week, I built Crypts, upgrade structures, and an Elf outpost. I also freed two heroes from prison, one of whom was Moner. I bought him a book in the Necropolis town because I saw that he was a main hero.
Unfortunately, it turned out that either Moner gathers gold, or I defeat him and buy him back in my main town for more serious work, but in that case, I can't build the Castle anymore.
The result of the week: horses in the Castle, and Ivor is back in action, especially since I gave him armor.
On day 117, I saw that the Reds were moving around, so I went towards them.
On day 122, I was attacked by an Alpha Troll with Expert Air and Tactics. Ivor didn't even have a book, but the Elves were amazing, and I'm very proud of them.
If my opponent had the first turn, the final battle would probably have been more interesting.

Thank you for the game.

Danchik lost to Zhawdet.

We played for about 2 hours: +1 replay because I got a very, very good starting position, but this Yerokhin Zhawdet showed up quickly, and another time I created a stronghold without a dungeon.
The road layout was not very good; one road quickly ends in a Guardian town, and the second leads to my secondary town, where the entrance to the underground treasure is located.
In the first week, there was a severe shortage of stone and gold from the Crystal Mines, so I built a Naga in the Citadel on one market, also took my secondary town, and scouted 3 Conservatories.
On day 121, my scout discovered a market behind the mountains, which allowed me to buy an army and take 2 Conservatories (1+2); I didn't dare take the third because it was 100-200, and I had already lost my Golems.
I went to the treasure because there was nowhere else to go; I scouted 3 Pandoras behind the Rusty Dragons, 50-99 Zealots, and 20-49 Manticores.
On day 124, I decided to take the last one; there were 40 Manticores, and one stack on morale attacked the Goblins (I could have defeated them with Angels and Cavaliers, but I wanted to attack with a wait), then everyone attacked the Naga... it was painful.
My opponent offered an auto-defeat, but I didn't accept.

Thank you for the game
