Posts from "Mirrors"

Bought the color for 1500. Gunnar entered. Near the house on the road, there are 2 posts where Enova first catches logs, and then both land and becomes гг. There is a hidden eye that we take and set up a portal. In the adjacent areas, I found a gladius for 50-99 lords, a couple of workshops, and some zephyrs. At the exit of the home zone, there are stables. Toward the end of the week, Kirry also entered, who with upgraded eyes took a dwarf 100 and took a couple of posts, getting expert logs. At home, the eyes are in the citadel; Enova is standing on the stables with oil. On 121, I break 90 vamps for the gladius, then max workshop, pass the meat to Gunnar, who breaks the workshop for 100 golems, punches through the teleport and almost manages to occupy the castlebot's city.
On their turn, the blues write ГГ. On the vamps, demoralize did its dirty work.

Thanks for the game!

it's guaranteed not to happen, but the chance of a quick encounter will be much higher, which is better for the game than simply eating everything and meeting at the end of the month. Regarding guessing the treas — in my opinion, nothing depends on the roads here — you either guessed it or you didn't; even with average roads, this treas will also be eaten. An early encounter depends even less on the type of roads and more on the players' desire. If both want to feast, then it doesn't matter what the roads are — until both have had their fill, there will be no contact. Only with fast roads will all this happen faster, perhaps by a couple of days, but faster.

The last player from my group, CblHa, isn't responding to me. It seems he realized how bad he is and gave up on the tournament...

No one in Group A wants to play.
There's a save with silenthill, flate disappeared, and it seems he withdrew from the tournament.

The map turned out to be quite interesting; each zone has a Conservatory, and there's a Refuge guarded by 40 Pirates, which contained a group of Nymphs. Then, Gunar the Priest arrived. I spent a week gathering gold and resources for birds, but it was difficult to establish a strong presence because there was no Mercury. Meanwhile, my opponent set up a base in the location I had scouted, but only on the 6th day. On the 7th day, I took over the secondary settlement and swapped resources through the market.
On day 121, I attacked the second Conservatory and moved to zones 2-4 to start building up my forces.
On day 122, my opponent attacked. I had 2 Angels and 2 Birds ready. I managed to eliminate 2 of his Birds and all his Fairies and Psions, and then I paid him off. He took 1 Angel on my main hero and some meat on my secondary hero, but I also paid him off there. I could have paid him off with more meat, but I didn't have enough money.
On day 123, I swapped all my resources, gathered money from everything I could, and went to attack his secondary hero. I had a bit of money for a bribe, and I had 2 Birds, 1 Angel, and some meat against his Ballista, Jeremy, 30 Air Elementals, and a few Psions. I could have prolonged the game and tried to defeat my opponent through a few more bribes if he had attacked. Thanks for the game.

We took a rest spawn, it generated a rather interesting map.
111 - one road is blocked by Thunderbirds behind an external dwelling of nagas. Bought Kyrre in an external tavern, killed the Spirit of Oppression.
112 - Kyrre ran out to a fork in the snowy treasure zone. Scouts reached the borders of the respawn. Quite a lot of gold. Decent heroes - Erdamon, Damacon, Gundula.
113 - captured a Conflux village. 8 heroes are milling around aimlessly in the respawn, the opening of a second front just isn't coming together.
114 - broke through the guard to the Rampart computer, but he himself is in a dead-end with no roads. Kyrre takes crypts, catches air. Also took a second village in the snows, but had to break through a passage to the barbarian computer.
115 - built giants, bought them and nagas, broke into the second treasure zone, almost reached the village. I see a promising Pandora's Box here for 50+ griffins. Kyrre ported home to take a cemetery.
116 - zombies gave a sword +3, took the 4th town, everything is being prepared to break through the birds.
117 - the birds fell easily, also grabbed an external dwelling of Gremlins. Buildings - giants in the Castle.
On 121 took the cemetery, running to the Pandora. Overall, not seeing any interesting objects. Either the guards are very inconvenient for Tower, or there's just junk lying in the treasure zones. Had to send the main army to intimidate the computer.
122 - Gundula with a few Genies grabs another village, Kyrre breaks through a hundred griffins and is happy about an empty Pandora (there was all 4th level). I destroy another 100 Dendroids for a Zeffyr, sit in the village, buy a spell book. No Haste for expert Air... Scouting reveals quite interesting objects - a couple of Zeffyrs, a Dragon Fly Hive, a library. But without Haste, the Zeffyr will be tough.
123 - I port out from here, go into the desert treasure zone on the opponent's plane, scout it. Also quite interesting - two Zeffyrs, a workshop, a Dragon Fly Hive. Through a portal I end up in the Inferno computer's zone, grab his town, but don't have time to enter. Still, it's all good, because there's Haste there!
124 - learn Haste, kill one of the computer's heroes, enter the workshop. There - a level 30 creature, taken easily. Last move, to get rid of the Golems and speed up a bit, I attack 20+ Wyverns for a Dragon Fly Hive and a scroll. There are 42 of them :D Lost the naga in the first round, but overall went in easily.
125 - finish off the computer's main forces, a helm +3 drops from him (took a couple of Dragon Towers). In the scroll - Fly. I stand in Zeffyr for 8-12. Meanwhile, green Crag Hack is pressuring me, took a village. I set up a chain to punish him.
126 - realize there's an opportunity to play very aggressively. Preparing Kyrre for an invasion of the opponent's territory and stealing his wings. A couple of Dragon Fly Hives via chain, a couple of Zeffyrs - total 12 Wyverns and 14 Cyclopes.
127 - killed Crag Hack in the village, got a shield +3. Took another Dragon Fly Hive with 6 Wyverns, gave the army to Kyrre. I realize I misfired a bit by not moving a hero to her, and I really didn't want to fight Arch Devils for wings with Gremlins. Oh well, I just fly over them, take the village, port out, buy Sandro from the external tavern at a stable with double mana, who reaches the capital. Buy Kyrre there, upgrade the nagas.
131 - trouble happens here. In the chapel I successfully ignored, there was Armageddon. The opponent recovers the Titan's Armor and Manfred with crazy spell power burns me. The burner himself had 4 birds from the Crimson Tower, but they all died :). Anyway, I'm left with a Cyclops, 5 Wyverns, and a naga. The opponent dies and drops artifacts. All in all, not bad, considering all the growth is mine.
I buy up the army I can afford, surprised to see I'm still ahead of Jeremy in troops. But to avoid running into another bombshell, I run into the treasure zone where I take a scroll with Meteor Shower and a box for 15k experience.
132 - Jeremy recaptures his capital, taking a good hit from the Lightning Bolt of the mage stationed there. Very few troops remain there - a couple of nagas, a couple of Wyverns, a couple of Cyclopes, Gremlins + no mana. I port Kyrre, bring up the troops, replenish mana to 100, and finish him off.
Thank you for the game!

The last player from my group, CblHa, isn't answering me. Looks like he realized his noobishness and gave up on the tournament...
