Thanks for the game

On the second week, she lost all the wolves and goblins in Dwarf Cottage 30. Then she transferred the remaining troops to another treasure zone and lost the remaining 2 bears and 160 skeletons there against water elementals — for some reason I thought there were no more than 60 of them, but there were nearly 100, and with a Stone Gargoyle stack too... harsh guarding at the Dragon Fly Hive + a minor helmet.
Alright, on 131 I buy the army of one week and take a Griffin Conservatory 2 by trading 2 bears... again I transfer the army to another treasure zone and lose those 2 angels in the maxed-out Dragon Fly Hive... just barely not finishing them off... Alright, I buy the remaining army and finish them off... now I have 12 ducks:) An iron nerves tempering:smile13:
I clear an underground cartographer.
By 142 I've gathered 34 ducks and 200 bones anyway and dive into the revealed Dragon Utopias, three in a row, leaving all the pyre from all the castles, all the bones there — I end up with 32 ducks and stats... no control at all.... I see the opponent already jumping around everywhere...
I run to the corner of the treasure zone with the last visible Dragon Utopia guarded by bears — my last hope for a good join, and that's what happened — 27 bears under control:) but the opponent jumps in on 211 and kills me with an explosion:)
Way too many mistakes, the result is inevitable

Thanks for the game)

We played a risky game. At the very beginning, I got Adele. I sold a bunch of archers, spearmen, and angels for 94 orcs. I got a lot of money. I didn't upgrade the archers. I built angels and immediately joined 12 monks guarding a fort on a hill. There, I upgraded an archer and then it was easy.
On the second turn, I joined a total of 140 archers, took two convoys of 6 angels each, found a vision in the game, and headed towards the Guardian. Along the way, I joined 60 wooden creatures. On turn 123, I defeated two Guardians and saw Tazar. On the next turn, I attacked him, he offered a ransom, and then surrendered.
Thanks for the game.

I got a good balance. I had a strong starting position, 2 native towns (I took both on turn 112!), and even asked my opponent if we were playing on a low difficulty level :). I had a hidden stash of minotaurs for 20-49 Rukh birds, also guarding the Legion's hands. On turn 114, I found Pandora with 80 troglodytes, on turn 115, I took a two-stack convoy with the Miner, and on turn 116, Tazar found a hidden stash. That's it. There's nowhere to level up heroes, and both promising Pandoras (for 12 manticores and 12 monarchs) are empty. Tazar is level 6, has experience armor, experience leadership, and basic earth magic, which he uses to convert mana, and he doesn't even know how to attack Guardians, because even buying minotaurs is theoretically impossible due to lack of funds. On turn 121, in the farthest corner of the starting area, a weak hero finds an external market, and Tazar defeats the last Pandora with 23 zanders - 10K experience and (!) a "power field" scroll. Tazar has power field level 1, so the "power field" really helped in the battle with 51 dreadnoughts. Thanks to the external market, I bought a lot of units, resulting in 34 kings, 200 troglodytes, 2 angels, and a small army. In the battle with the Guardian, I was extremely unlucky; not a single morale bonus triggered even once. The dreadnoughts consistently dealt double damage and cursed everyone. I was left with 29 kings and 60 troglodytes. Then, along the way, I encountered a stack - 17 red dragons for Pandora. Again, no morale bonuses for me, but they had a lot. I was left with 17 kings, no stats, and no mana, and I thought about surrendering. However, there was a treasure chest with 20K experience, and Tazar gained diplomacy. On the next turn, diplomacy was maxed out (I skipped air magic), the remaining units from the starting area were brought in, and 105 orcs joined, guarding the Hive. Here, a very delicate moment occurred. The opponent came with archers, etc. I decided not to let him join 50+ ogre mages and, in general, take the central castle and see what's going on there. It turned out to be disappointing. At the same time, Brissa with 15 fairies and an archer defeated another central castle, and Tazar bought his way in there, still having an army to fight and join. But there was nothing there again... Reviewing the saves showed that after joining the orcs, I should have quickly turned in an illogical direction and attacked 30 minotaur kings; they joined for free. There was also a treasure chest with 15K gold, and I could join 22 champions for money... The game would have transitioned into the late game. Well, I didn't realize it. Thanks for the game!

Hi, Sergey. Glad to see you!!! Send me a message on ICQ, let's chat. ;)

I stopped using ICQ and Skype a long time ago.

Thanks for the game.

Yeah, it happened. I don't remember the details anymore, but I couldn't get enough diplomacy points for a long time, and Kirya with the cartographer managed to join the game normally in the last turns.

Thanks for the game.

Gosha - DD scroll - cartographer - Cloak of the Undead King - join - air on expedition. No chance.

Thanks for the game!

111 Bought four heroes. Small respawn. I see a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive. Took an external dwelling of Basilisks.
112 Found another Dragon Fly Hive. Little gold. Roads are fine. Vistan with basic Logistics.
113 Bought a fifth hero. Took a neutral village. Found another Griffin Conservatory.
114 Vistan catches Earth, Cherry Bow taken.
115 Bought a sixth hero.
116 Broke through to the purple player's respawn.
117 Taking a town from purple. They have built 1-4 in the Citadel, dwellings 1-4, 6 in the Citadel + 1000 in three Castles. The opponent has Kyra highlighted.

121 From lookout posts, I spotted brown and pink computer players. I see a neutral village and a Dragon Fly Hive next to it.
122 Maneuvers, searching for gold, running towards pink.
123 Kill pink. From a lookout post, I see a Conflux, under blue's control. Found another Griffin Conservatory.
124 Took the previously spotted village.
125 Maneuvers, scouting. Ran out to the metro that leads to the opponent's previously spotted Conflux.
126 Saving gold for a full buyout.
127 Took another village. Income 5500.

131 Took a Griffin Conservatory. I am one day's move away from the opponent's Conflux. A scout with an army is stationed near a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive.
132 Decided to pick up a Shield +6 and a Griffin Conservatory, and take the opponent's town with the scout. Vistan is standing on a fly for splitting.
133 The Griffin Conservatory turned out to be out of reach, and the opponent just this turn sat with his entire army in his Conflux. Decided I would collect the home Dragon Fly Hives and the Griffin Conservatory. My army is stronger, but it's unknown what magic is there.
134 Fighting a bit with the brown computer. Finally find a passage to the Griffin Conservatory.
135 Lizard Warriors and Greater Basilisks appeared. Took the Dragon Fly Hive.
136 Maneuvers. The opponent comes out to meet me himself. It's a very long run, I already regret not attacking immediately. Green also ran out to scout. Vistan with double mana.
137 Chain is stocked with reserve, I decide to take another Griffin Conservatory with scouts. I failed and the army didn't reach Vistan. I'm standing on a fly. Green is near me with a good army.

141 Vistan is alive. The opponent ran back to his base.
142 Barely didn't reach the Conflux. On his turn, the opponent hit-and-runs twice with a blast for 1050. And stays to night in this Conflux.
143 The opponent decides not to wait for the attack and types "GG".

Thanks for the game!

Started playing without restarts. On the first day, a cartographer was found for 10-19 monks, 4 hives, a Griffin Conservatory, Müllich in the tavern, 3 external dwellings of troglodytes, an external dragon dwelling, and stables. Then I found another hive and another dragon dwelling and a Griffin Conservatory. All hives turned out to be minimal, except for one pre-minimal, and slow was nowhere to be found. The opponent went to the center on turn 122, and I decided to take the home Dragon Utopia — on the skill roll, I got Wings at level one. On the same turn, Dessa collected boxes in the center. He gets Air Magic, expertises it, immediately takes the box for all Air Magic, and on the next turn covers the opponent. In the final, no chance for the red player. Thanks for the game!

Gets air magic, experts it, immediately takes the box for all air magic, and on the next turn covers the opponent. In the final, no chance for red. Thanks for the game!

again there were no overpowered tokens, this time not even a 1st (a free upgrade building deep in the spawn, though it's unclear how to get there, but definitely far away, doesn't count))
started playing because of 3 revealed external dwellings on 111 and a dwelling with earth magic under the castle, but it turned out to be catastrophically little, the result is predictable, GG

thanks for the game :)

The opponent ran out of resources and received a "zero" reward.
Thank you for the game!

The opponent used all their re-rolls and got a terrible result.
Thanks for the game!

Absolutely correct! Thanks for the game!

111 Four heroes. Small respawn with lots of useless objects. My computers are Necropolis, Swamp, Rampart. Isra and Sir Mullich give confidence. Starting artifact (Amulet of the Undertaker) is just what I needed. GO to 19 Arch Devils. I run straight to Necropolis.
112 A couple of unpleasant guards along the way. The road splits. I'm unsure which way to go. Breaking through the guards of two passages will be problematic.
113 I buy a fifth hero. I bring the demons in. I look for alternative paths. Opponent killed his Rampart computer.
114 On his turn, the computer reveals where its castle is. I buy a sixth hero. Isra gets Attack.
115 I took Necropolis. But two heroes are still alive. Isra was defeated and runs to the Swamp computer. Opponent's Adel is glowing.
116 Small maneuvers. Isra is standing in front of a shooter block on the Swamp computer's respawn. The army is heading for the Badge of Courage. I bought a seventh hero. Opponent kills his Cita computer.
117 I take Swamp after a fight, 105 skeletons remain. No money. In Necropolis and Swamp, levels 1-4 in the fort; in Inferno, levels 1-2, 4, and market, plus 1000 everywhere. Isra got Earth magic.

121 No money, computers not yet finished. Chain is set up between all castles.
122 I finished off Necropolis, found a Dragon Fly Hive. Built a citadel in Swamp and set up a guard. Chain split up for scouting and gathering funds for Vampire Lords. The Swamp treasure zone is small and almost immediately blocked by 99 Grand Elves and 249 Iron Golems.
123 I buy an eighth hero (Vidomina) and open a second front. Almost no money.
124 Isra runs to the Rampart computer. There are four unpleasant guards immediately along the way. One of them blocks a Dragon Fly Hive. I go around. Finally, Vampire Lords appear.
125 Necropolising. The Swamp computer gets itself killed attacking my castle.
126 Trying to unite armies. Found Titan's Gladius and a Dragon Fly Hive in the Necro treasure zone.
127 Still haven't reached the computer. Isra runs to the Griffin Conservatory. Vampires are coming to her. Found their external dwelling and built a citadel.

131 The computer arrives with a decent army. I ride with my army as a scout toward it. I set up a chain.
132 I drove the computer away but didn't reach its castle. All objects are taken. Army is in the treasure zone. Bears for the Gladius already 20+.
133 While the chain is set up, I return the army and take the computer's town. Found a Dragon Utopia in the treasure zone. I buy a cover for it.
134 I gather everything I see in the treasure zone.
135 Found a Book of Fire, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives. I eat boxes for experience. Adel's stats are glowing 8-5-15-11.
136 Found another Dragon Utopia, but also behind a strong shooter guard. No one to give the skeletons to; Vidomina runs too fast with logistics, so I want to reach the castle. I see from the overview that the opponent is taking a Dragon Utopia.
137 Tamika buys Cape of the Vampire Lord at the Black Market. Vidomina reaches the castle.

141 Maneuvers. Adel has good stats glowing 20-17-32-17.
142 I take a Dragon Utopia. It gives full control, but no mana.
143 I take another Dragon Utopia. And it gives the last piece of the Cloak of the Undead King.
144 At the entrance to the Necro computer, the edge of a Dragon Utopia was visible, but blocked by mountains. And on this side, an external tavern. Vidomina was defeated, I replenished mana at the well, and on the same turn I take two Dragon Utopias. Isra also gets defeated here.
145 Cartographer reveals the entire underground. I see the opponent not far away. 558 Liches, 50 dragons, 500+ skeletons, and the red orb.
146 Two more Dragon Utopias. Captured a neutral village.
147 Vidomina has 1084 liches, 4DD. I attack the opponent, kill half his army, and he buys peace. Was too lazy to run for the shackles.
211 Took two towns from the opponent. I control all his movements through viewing.
212 Took two more towns from the opponent. Isra also has 4DD.
213 I take another castle from the opponent and corner him. The army has 1245 liches, I simply didn't take the rest. Opponent writes GG.

Thanks for the game!

Gosha - DD scroll - cartographer - Cloak of the Undead King - join - air magic at expo. No chance.

Thanks for the game!

111 Four heroes. Ciele in the tavern. Labetha with advanced earth magic. Good starting army. I see a stable, though on the other side of the road. There's a lookout post, an external dwelling of air elementals, and two fishing spots. Two roads. A hut with air magic. I decided not to restart. The opponent's Castle is acceptable.
112 I buy a fifth hero, Grundan in the tavern. The Dungeon town is taken.
113 Upgraded the fairies. Labetha expert earth magic. One road has a shooter block.
114 I buy a sixth hero. The second road also has a shooter block. No money, the wood and ore mines are somewhere unknown. I farm resources and money for buildings, managing exactly one building per day.
115 I buy a seventh hero. I go deeper into my spawn area. I only fight with fairies and air elementals, so the timer drains heavily. I want to build Griffins in the first town and open two fronts.
116 Out of everything I built, I bought nothing. At the end of the day, 40 gold.
117 Somehow I gather the required sum and resources for Griffins, but I don't have time to build them because of a battle at the max crypt; timer 00.00. I lost all air elementals there, fairies survived. But I wasn't upset—I scouted a Griffin Conservatory deep in the spawn area. Well, with two Griffinettes and mass slow, I'll take the Griffin Conservatory and catch up in tempo.

121 I buy an eighth hero (Luna). I buy two Griffinettes and stand under the Griffin Conservatory with unit-1, Labetha. Luna is under the shooter block on the first road.
122 I take the Griffin Conservatory and break through along the road. There's a box with 50+ orcs. I attack with Griffinettes and single fairies. There are 83 of them. I ransom Luna and go to finish them off with the angel.
123 Maneuvers. Luna falls just short of reaching the box.
124 I finish off the orcs; in the box there are 80 skeletons. One road is blocked by a treasure zone guard; I run the other way.
125 I took the Necro camp. I fight all the prisons I see, looking for a Necro.
126 I reached Cite town, which turquoise had already taken. Luna replenishes mana to burn through the treasure zone guard.
127 I take Cite from turquoise. Luna completed her task. I take the Swamp town.

131 Necros still haven't appeared in the tavern. None in the prisons either. I take a Necro town. I make a supply run from the Conflux.
132 Luna on the angel takes out orange. Part of the army goes to find turquoise; the other part breaks through from the Swamp town.
133 From the Swamp town, I reached the underground entrance with a broken guard and transferred everything back. After several defeats, Tamika appeared in the tavern. Orange dies against the Castle.
134 I enter the treasure zone with Luna on the angel with full mana. There are 100+ ghosts. Killed them easily, but they burned a lot of mana. Enough for one wall.
135 I attack 19 Wyverns. I let them all approach and cast wall. In the first round. In short, one angel somehow can't kill six Wyverns in melee. I flee. All hope is on Tamika. Maximum scouting.
136 I reached turquoise off-road. Nagash is in the tavern. I look for resources for Hive level 5.
137 I attack turquoise's Castle with Tamika, Griffinettes, and units. There was a fair amount of army there. I flee. I immediately finish them off with skeletons. The towers hit hard. And the computer defended, staying behind the gate. I ransomed Tamika in this same castle. No chain to return the remaining skeletons to Luna.

141 Luna burns through the treasure zone, but it turned out to be very small (two artifacts, an obelisk, and an external market). A box for the entire fifth level. At the external market I bought two parts of the Cloak of the Undead King. I have two Necros.
142 Necroing. Luna with 4DD scouts everything possible.
143 I build Hive level 5, which has DD. Luna takes pink's Castle. She doubles her mana and looks for an entrance to the underground, where many artifacts are glowing. The opponent came with a scout with up to 50 Lizardmen to my Swamp town.
144 I'm not making skeletons anymore; I'm just looking for the last part of the Cloak of the Undead King.
145 I jump Luna through treasure zones, eating boxes with flight.
146 Scouting.
147 Scouting.

211 Two more heroes scout with DD, but they have little mana.
212 I take a Dragon Utopia, but no Boots.
213 I buy Isra. I clear two good boxes for her, hoping for experience.
214 Isra level 10. She gets defeated to learn DD and replenish mana. I find an underground cartographer. It becomes sad. The opponent is making Liches, and I don't see the last part of the Cloak of the Undead King anywhere. Part of the underground didn't open for some reason (probably because of the ground type—lava), so I jump there.
215 There I find a Dragon Utopia.
216 Another Dragon Utopia, but they don't give the right thing.
217 Maneuvers.

221 Luna jumps into the zone with the gold mine. Isra and Ciele are on the way. Grundan gets defeated in Cite, doubles mana, and with 4DD lands in another zone with a gold mine. There's a cartographer there. I get defeated back to Cite, take the army, and run toward the cartographer. Labetha buffs Grundan and tries to level up wisdom.
222 I open the cartographer—no Boots. Through defeats, DD, and a monolith, the needed heroes and army reach the only remaining Dragon Utopia on the map.
223 In the Dragon Utopia, no Boots. I write GG.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

On 114 I had to break through to the main treasury, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get back. As a result, only 40 halberdiers remained from my troops. Nothing would join.
There would still have been a chance if I had rooted myself in Conflux, but I messed up with the money and in the end I could neither hire a Hittite nor root myself.
Thanks for the game

Thank you for the game!

If it were only the Red Ball or only the Cloak of the Undead King, or if I had control, then something could have been done. But as it is, it's certainly tough. Although after the encounter I almost assembled my own Cloak of the Undead King, but the opponent covered it with a bunch of Dimension Doors.

Thank you for the game.

A hidden stash of Ifrits near the castle + a trap with a chain lightning spell in the adjacent room. Thanks for the game!
