An awkward game unfolded.
First, I messed up by re-clicking a playable spawn when I had my restarts (I was sure it was 113 rests), opponent forgave me.
Then the opponent chose his rests and off it went.
I got a swamp on Castle, Lizard spawns not built, first hero has 10 Gnolls and 7 Lizardmen, second has 16 Gnolls — total misery. Though the opponent had Christian from the start. But that was only half the trouble, more like a tenth. Sawmill without wood piles, two respawn points have no wood piles — it's game over. Wood is like air: you don't notice it while you have it, but when it runs out, it immediately gets bad — no Tavern, no Market, no Mage Guild — nothing can be built, no matter how much gold you have. How to play without wood is unclear. In despair, I dove and lost everything in a pre-Max Crypt, then skipped turns, waiting for Gnoll, Lizardman, and Serpent spawns )). In short, the only thing keeping me in the game was that it was a Tournament match, plus a Griffin Conservatory on a respawn. With zombie delivery from an external dwelling, I break the Griffin Conservatory in week two, then got rolling, leveled up Andra, captured all mines on the secondary, built Mage Guild 2 (no strong shooters, got Haste + Blind). And on day 131, I "broke into" the adjacent zone where the opponent had been operating since week one. However, all the goodies were still there: two Hives + a Sword of +6 Attack, plus there was a Cuirass of +12/-3 for Dendroids, but I was afraid to go for it, even though I could break through fairly easily (Expert Fireball + Wall was there). A couple of days later, I reached the opponent in the Portal — Dace with 1 Intelligence, against 150 mana and Blind, he had no chance.

As it turned out from the reveal, the opponent had terrible luck with Gold Mines: one mine cut off all the other mines, and the guard was Snipers, resulting in a complete lack of money.

Thanks for the game!

A clunky game turned out.
First, I failed by resurrecting a playable save when I had restarts (I was sure it was 113 rests), the opponent forgave me.
Then the opponent chose his rests and off we went.
It gave me swamp on Castle, the lizard dwellings aren't built, on the first hero 10 Gnolls 7 Lizardmen, on the second 16 Gnolls, total misery. True, the opponent has Christian from the start. But that was half the trouble, or rather one-tenth. A Sawmill without wood piles, no wood piles on two respawns - it's all over, it's like air, you don't notice it while it's there, but when it runs out it immediately gets bad, i.e. you can't build anything - neither Tavern, nor Market, nor Mage Guild - no matter how much money you have. How to play without wood is unclear. In desperation, I went and lost everything to zero in a pre-max crypt, then skipped turns, waited for spawns of Gnolls, Lizardmen, and Serpent Flies )). In short, only the tournament game kept me in the save, plus a single Griffin Conservatory on the respawn. With a supply of zombies from the external dwelling, I broke the Conservatory in week two, then got rolling, leveled Andra, captured all the mines on the secondary, built Mage Guild 2 (without strong shooters, got Wave + Blind). And on day 131 I "burst" into the adjacent zone, where the opponent had been operating since week one. However, all the goodies remained there - two Hives + a Sword of +6 Attack, there was also a Cuirass +12-3 for Dendroids, but I was afraid to go in, although I could break through quite easily (Expert Fire + Wall was there). A couple of days later I reached the opponent in the Portal, a Death Knight with 1 Intelligence, against 150 mana and Blind there were no chances.

As the post-game analysis showed, the opponent was terribly unlucky with gold mines, one of the mines cut off all the other mines, and the guards were Sharpshooters, resulting in complete poverty.

Thanks for the game!

How playable did the new skirmish mode turn out to be? Anyone want to test it out today?

We tried it yesterday with Javdet. We both had the game crash on us about 3 times each when playing as Orrin, and in the red player's game, he disappeared right away, meaning there was no starting hero. We gave up and played 2v2.

I respawned with a surrender containing one road leading to GO, and ended up playing with a road block right beneath the Castle made of 10+ Efreets, and a three-day tempo loss due to roadless travel around it. In my native treasure zone, there was only one Dragon Fly Hive (6) and nothing for meat or magic stats. Against a pack of Necromancers with mass magic and lightning at 190+, there was nothing to field. Thanks for the game

Well, my situation wasn't any better — a respawn with no wood at all, a mine without any trees nearby, the adjacent zone 3 turns away by roadless travel and it was a swamp. The most paradoxical thing is that even by the end of the game, I hadn't found a single swamp hero with Gnolls. On the plus side, from the start: +1 morale from the banner and +1 speed on Skeletons. In the adjacent swamp zone, I never managed to take the Helm of +3 Knowledge until the end of the game, while my opponent had the Cloak of +2+2 in their adjacent zone, which I eventually took. I went into the main with Sandro, took a box of 5 EXP in the adjacent zone, cleared a bit of the treasure zone on Skeletons. In the end, Sandro came out 1-2-4-10 (after the opponent's adjacent zone +2+2)... On turn 126, I broke GO, burst in with a scout hero, took the Castle, and hit the Cloak of +2+2 with a level 1 scout hero wielding all my power: 7 Griffins, 138 Skeletons, 35 Orcs, 70 Sprouts (from Pandora's Box). The opponent also reached with a scout hero, but with stats 4-7-1-1 (Alkin, I think)... 1 and 6 Serpents, 10 Wyverns, 25 Lizardmen, 3 Minotaurs, 4 Basilisks, 38 Gnolls, and a Ballista. In the end (my hero had no artifacts), I fought, leaving the opponent with 9 Lizardmen... On turn 131, I routed the remnants and marched my army toward the opponent. I didn't make it; he attacked my 26 Hounds, 34 Hobgoblins, 10 Air Elementals, and singletons of Faeries (Sandro 1-2-6-12(60) EXP Earth Magic, Scholar, Advanced Resistance). The Miner 10-10-4-20, 2 Wyverns, 3 Minotaurs, 14 Lizardmen, 18 Gnolls, singletons of Serpents... Well, Fireball stood no chance for the opponent, considering Lightning Bolt and Word of Power
Thanks for the game

I was left with no reinforcements, while my opponent still had one. The prospect of a 10-19 Dark unit battle wasn't appealing. I took the road less traveled, gathered 3 Pandoras for 5k experience each, and made my way to the Necropolis castle. With the remaining army, I captured a Dwarf mine and built Bears in the Fortress. Then came some mistakes; I chased after my opponent's heroes while he was strategically maneuvering his main force. In the end, we clashed again, and in the first round, I managed to eliminate almost all of his army with a mass haste spell. There was a Bolt unit with 220 attack. My opponent tried to win with magic, but it didn't work.
Thanks for the game!

Yesterday, Javdet and I tried. We both lost to Orrin about 3 times each.

It has already been fixed in version 1.34.

I was left without resurrections, my opponent still had one. A single road leading to 10-19 dark creatures didn't inspire me. I went off-road, picked up 3 Pandora's Boxes for 5 XP each, broke through to the Necropolis town, and with the remainder of my army took the level 20 Dwarf Cottage, built bears in the fort. Afterwards, some mistakes happened; I chased after the opponent's stragglers while he was cunningly using GoP (Gate of Power), and at the end of the second week we fought. I cut down almost all his power with Mass Haste in the first round. There was a bolt for 220. The opponent tried to win with magic, but it didn't work out.
Thanks for the game!

It was. On the second week I blundered and, instead of investing in the guild, started buying up meat and breaking through the portal (as it turned out) to the opponent's Necropolis secondary town. As a result, without Armageddon I couldn't pull it off. Thanks for the game.

A trio would have been perfect, but I decided to surrender in a 4-player game. Thanks for the game!

On day 126, Pit occupied my starting town, while I was in the adjacent town. On day 126, I transformed into a Necropolis hero and spent the night there with 300+ skeletons and under a Citadel. The red player only had 9 ducks and 26 griffins. Mullich himself doesn't attack and spends the night in my swamp, waiting for reinforcements. I gather meat for the transformer, buy Septienna to teach Clavius the Water Bolt spell, and build a Guild of Mages 2, which also provides Water Bolt and Blind. I reach Mullich and attack.

Clavius 3 4 7 7(70)
1 Giant Spider, 1 Spider, 3 Ducks, 10 Vasas, 1+320 Skeletons, 15 Lizards

Mullich 9 7 3 6(60)
6 Giant Spiders, 9 Spearmen, 45 Gnolls, 26 Griffins, 9 Ducks, 25 Harpies + Citadel

In the battle, I protect my skeletons, immediately block the gates, and use the Defend skill every round, casting Water Bolt for 120 damage, taking into account the water bonus. I have 96 skeletons left, even though the harpies and lizards caused damage almost every round.

Thanks for the game!

We played a mirror match, but I couldn't find this map in the list.

It was a good game; both of my main heroes had three stacks each, and I had a hidden stash of archers and griffins in the castle, but my opponent resigned. Thanks for the game.

It was a good game; both of our heroes had three stacks each, and we had hidden archers and griffins near the castle, but the opponent conceded. Thanks for the game.

I confirm. The game was also good. It was already going well. But we started the match late, and I was tired, so I didn't think things through properly and ended up getting beaten. A great start to the tournament. Thanks for your time!

On day 126 Pit took my home table, while I was in an adjacent zone. On my day 126 I break into the Necro secondary and stay the night there with 300+ skeletons and under the Citadel - of the red's serious forces, only 9 Dragon Flies and 26 Greater Liches. Müllich himself does not attack and stays the night in my swamp - waiting for growth. I bring meat for the transformer, buy Septienna so she can teach Clavius Wave and build GM2 - again with Wave and Blind there. I reach Müllich and attack.

Clavius 3 4 7 7(70)
1 Vampire Lord 1 Vampire 3 Dragon Flies 10 Wights 1+320 Skeletons 15 Liches

Müllich 9 7 3 6(60)
6 Vampire Lords 9 Spearmen 45 Gnolls 26 Greater Liches 9 Dragon Flies 25 Harpy Hags + Citadel

On Tactics I close off the skeletons, immediately blocked the gate and press Defend each round, shooting the archer for 120 considering the Water boost. 96 skeletons remained, even though the Harpies and Liches got morale almost every round.

Thanks for the game!

We played a mirror match, but did not find this template in the list.

Yes, it went very badly at the start, when I saw Bron (who ideally should have been banned) and Clavius on the opponent's side on day 111, I knew I was done for. Except Müllich was a pleasure - with his help I colored both gold mines in the secondary by the end of the week. I came out of spawn on the second week, but the map turned out to be very poor. I collected a Pandora's Box with 30 Harpy Hags, a mini Dragon Fly Hive. I made a mistake by coming to the opponent on day 126. I had to skip on day 127 in the Castle, and then I was attacked there. I should have come a day later - maybe I could have taken the growth. Well, against an archer shooting for 120 with a ton of mana and 300 skeletons, there was no chance at all.
Thank you for the game.

The opponent spent 1 rest, I spent none; we were in the town of Goshan, and I had gold – let’s go. In the first week, I gathered gold and resources while simultaneously leveling up Goshan, but he didn’t want to specialize in Necropolis. Instead, he got Earth, so I built Ifrits in the fortress. In the second week, I broke through to another town, where I found a native Inferno. I bought Gogs, and I had about 40 of them. I did lose one Ifrit, but then the opponent appeared and started to build up his army. I banished him and defeated him on the outskirts. He bought back half of his army, summoned a few more skeletons, and went to attack with 20+ unique units. For completing the quest, I received 20,000 gold, so I bought a lot of units, upgraded, and started to rush the opponent. On day 131, I overwhelmed his main hero in a single battle. Thank you for the game!
