Posts from Outlaw 2!

no Outlaw feature by week 2))

not restarting, since Grechka is in the tavern and I saw 5 Dragon Fly Hives on day 1, there were 6 total, but all minimal, except for one near-max
also took external dwellings of birds and bears, but money ran out sharply after building them and there’s nowhere to get more — the respawn was bugged, the road to the 2nd village went through the center, so I even skipped the Citadel on the 117 build
121 — Grechka is waiting at the Dragon Utopia, and Korbak with oil is breaking the Alliance from a horde of gr. horses ramp without offense and stat artifacts, 27 ducks don’t kill even under bless, and the horses’ aura also triggered, so I lost several ducks, 1 bear, and some chaff
then trogg’s trolls for the prison — morale and another bear lost, there’s Gundula level 30 with earth and loga, I take another Dragon Fly Hive with her, on 122 mana is carried to Grechka, who repels 2 caps — the 5th and +100 mana, Gundula in the center sees the KZ, next turn we start stealing everything
then Korbak messed up again, losing the army at the Dragon Utopia — had expert resurrect, but no damage, and mana ended before the dragons :o
but Grechka has 4 jumps, pulled her to the doubler on barbrespawn, Gundula doubled in the dungeon, so 3 bosses devoured both the center and 4 Dragon Utopias on respawn, opened the cartographer, see blue’s army at the noob, but nobody has enough moves or mana
ramp up Gundula at home, at night Gunnar comes out to the center and stands next to an already-devoured Dragon Utopia with unswept guard)))
no sword for the alliance, I see it, but can’t reach it — the exact same one dropped from a Dragon Utopia along the way, so we manage to cover Gunnar with Gundula instead of the noob, even if level 30))
stats are much higher for red, mana, besides ducks, is higher for blue, but his implant into bears was unnecessary — everything died in 2nd round from armageddon anyway, except for the duck stack protected by antimagic

GG, thanks for the game :)

All restarts were voted here, and it went as it went, all roads are one-way - but plenty of gold, there are power stacks with 111 (still have no idea how 49 upgraded Lizardmen broke through, with 13 Air Elementals, 55 Faerie Dragons and 35 Imps by a level 1 hero, losing 1 Air Elemental, all Imps and 30 Faerie Dragons). Birds thanks to the marketplace are built in the Citadel, Kira exp earth, diplomacy, air - I start having fun, two Dragon Fly Hives on 12 Wyverns, first join 15 gold, I break through to the center on brutal no-roads.. I revealed Kira a couple of times, OP eventually decided not to drag it out, they didn't let me feast again :).

Thanks for the game!

Is it too late to withdraw my entry to this tournament? I know group stage already started but i might cause problems because i will have less free time to play. :( If someone wants to enter tournament he can take my place,i'm happy to give it up.

Fun layout — on turn 115 I found wings behind a shifted guard, though to get to them I had to sacrifice a lot of troops (which I barely had and which refused to join) on guarding the passages; on turn 123 I also revealed a КВ (also behind a shifted guard, by the way) which was very close to the lookout near the opponent's respawn, but he didn't open it by chance. That said, there was decent tempo on capturing Dragon Fly Hives, but the map turned out to be extremely poor in ground loot, and there were very few Pandora's Boxes. After taking one for 15k experience, Rylund grabbed Expert Air and went to collect Griffin Conservatories. I probably could have pushed for a win right after the first contact and buyout, but I hesitated for 2 more turns, and then after a couple of easy joins and a bunch of peasants, I crushed him in his main with a superior army and a crazed sphere. Thanks for the game.

02.06 Grisha (Rampart) vs The_ (Fortress) Jebus 124 gg

06/02/2015 grisha_nikolov (Red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) lose The_ (Blue, Fortress, Bron, Jedite) Jebus Cross 124

I quickly ran out of restarts and had to play against Necra :( As it turned out later, also with two vampire stashes on the respawn :( The only pleasant thing in the first week was Vistan in the tavern with three stacks, which at least helped me get going. In the second week, I went to clear my super treasure zone, unable to break through the shifted guard. My army was small, but I managed to pull 25 dragons out of the treasure zone, I think. In the third week, I went to my other treasure zone, which had labyrinths — I wasted a lot of time just walking through it. But I got more dragons, took a couple of consuls, checked the cartographer on the surface, upgraded my troops at the hill fort, and took a level 3 Dragon Utopia with a blue cap. In the fourth week, I took a Dragon Utopia in a zone adjacent to my opponent; it gave me junk, then I grabbed gloves and a flask for +2 HP, which I needed for the elixir. And then my opponent attacks me, I buy peace and go to another super treasure zone, which was rich in hives, and it had the shield I needed for AOTD. After that came clearing almost the entire map and some joins from Adele :) I was behind my opponent in army strength for the entire game, then at the end caught up and overtook him. I also found shackles and the cloak of rejection, but didn't find the Tome of Earth, so I didn't equip AOTD on my main hero. My stats were higher and so was my army power, as can be seen in the screenshot. The opponent surrenders. GG! Thanks for the game!

Both players chose all the restart options, and both submitted a "standard" strategy, but my opponent had weaker blocking. I barely managed to break through the bone huts on the first map with Kal'hom, and I had almost no money. On the second map, I would have gathered hives and wings behind the medusas, and Gunar would have received the diplomacy skill on level 5. But on turn 121, my opponent couldn't handle the group of miners in the dungeon for +1 speed. Thanks for the game!

Gave out 2 external dragon dwellings, 2 large Griffin Conservatories, 4 hives on 22 Vivs, a Hill Fort, and Judit in the Diplomats. Had a disastrous first week — leveled up and lost Luna, failed with chains, etc. The breakthrough was expected to be late, but the opponent surrendered due to critical morale procs in the external angel dwelling. Thanks for the game!
