Has anyone tried playing 2v2? IMO, 2v2 is much more interesting.

It's certainly interesting. But when your teammate constantly criticizes you and tells you how to play, it's not very enjoyable. That's my opinion.

Well, if this player doesn't know how to play, what else can be done? :)

Mar (red, Castle, Edik, Edik) def Killed (blue, Barbarian, Zubin, Crag Hack) PutinKING (gray, Castle, Carbet, Gunnar) 126
We figured it out together.
The middle starting army was dealt out, but the native dwelling saved the situation. 2 external dwellings of cavalry were spotted and colored, also there is an external dwelling of angels but the growth is 50+ there, didn't dare to go in on the first week. A Griffin Conservatory with 3-4 growth is visible. Also 2 dwellings were taken. Took a Dragon Fly Hive on 8 Wyverns, shield +5, gloves. Upgraded the cavalry through the stables. End of 1st week: cavalry in the Citadel, Edik level 8 with expert Earth Magic. Luckily there was an external market that helped solve financial issues.
On the 2nd week I build a Mage Guild, there is Slow (searched most of the shrines and the Mage Guild in the dwelling, no Slow). Edik takes the Griffin Conservatory 3. And a Pandora's Box with 40 growth Medusas on full Air Magic. =( Expected 10K experience, but Air Magic without Wisdom... shameful. On day 122 we take the external dwelling of angels, a Pandora's Box with 5K experience, mace +4, and a crypt. Day 123 Edik picks up a sword +6 and goes through 60 or 70 growth of Bulls to reach the center. A scout ran, spots the blue scout hero (Killed). We chase him away. Next, Edik picks up a helmet +6 all stats and already looks decent 20,20. I see Crag Hack holed up in the central castle. I engage: Edik 21,20,8,7 4 angels, 15 champions, 55 archers, 8 Wyverns, 8 crusaders, and 50 growth of spearmen. Crag Hack 14,4,2,1 8 basic bears, 15 basic birds, 40 orcs. In the Fortress from the blue side, mass Stone Skin is coming, but after the champions charged into the bears with Haste, everything became clear. I build a Mage Guild and camp there. There isn't enough of the timer to put Edik on speed.
Day 124 the scout hero spots a Dragon Utopia, Edik reaches it, one of the nice things is a collar +3/3. And again there aren't enough movement points to pick up archers and +3 SP lying nearby. Gray (PutinKING) attacks on his turn: Edik 21,20,13,12 4 angels, 13 champions, 8 Wyverns, 20 spearmen. Gunnar 9,13,8,7 10 angels, 12 Wyverns, and 40 growth of archers. Since I was caught without archers, I had to go into melee contact. The exchange turned out not in my favor. I lost 4 angels, 6 cavalry. Opponent 5 angels. I immediately rebuy Edik in the central town and with a couple of champions run for a rush, having Chain Lightning for 310 (the Pandora with Air Magic came in handy). The exchange turned out better. Me 2 cavalry, opponent 3 angels. Here gray makes a mistake: instead of taking the nearby Dragon Fly Hive and lollipop, he runs to finish me off. I rebuy at home, visit the library, Chain Lightning is already more cheerful at 360. ))) And again I attack with a couple. Minus 2 cavalry, he has 6 Wyverns and 20+ archers. I rebuy in the castle and build a castle. Gunnar brings meat and attacks. Gunnar 9,13,8,8 1 and 1 angel, 6 Wyverns, 55 basic spearmen, 17 archers, 6 basic griffins. Edik 23,22,15,14 5 champions, 8 Wyverns, 14 archers, 6 monks, 25 growth of spearmen. The archer towers and Chain Lightning decided the outcome.
Forgot to write, Gunnar was treating me with Chain Lightning for 210. )))
Thank you all for the game.

Interesting, what if you play Might & Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven? The gameplay would be more interesting if you choose a good starting location for each player. Don't you want to try?

I would try. But for such a game, you need a very strict timer, like 8:4:1.

We recently played 8mm6a on a 4x map. Compared to Jebam, the battles there take place much more frequently. Because of this, you have to wait a long time for your turn, and the opponents' timers don't decrease much. ((( We were playing with a timer of 15, 6, 1. It's better to place medium roads, as you can encounter an enemy on the first week (unexpectedly). We didn't finish the game, though. One person got tired of waiting, and the other rage-quit. We'll wait for inspiration for a new run! :rolleyes:

Looking for three players for a 1x1x1x1 game, using the HL+ template. Those who don't have the patience to wait should not apply; also, those who might need to leave urgently.

Ah... too bad I was on duty yesterday, otherwise I would have joined.

10:5:1 is also good. We tried that before. It's quite fast.

Good. But encounters on the first week are frequent

I'm happy to play a 1v1 game with you, or any other format you prefer.

Hello everyone. I'm recruiting players for a game on October 25, 2015, at 6:00 PM Moscow time. I need 3 players. (If there are more volunteers, I'll take the first three who write in ICQ!). Jeb L map, timer 15, 6, 1. Color - coin toss, castles - random. Restart - only after a block on turn 111. Ideally, you should have 7 hours for the game (usually this time is enough, if not, then 2 players will definitely be eliminated. And it's easier to finish the game with 2 players).

Has anyone tried playing 2v2? IMO, 2v2 is much more interesting.

IMO, I'll accept your challenge, if Sladyish doesn't chicken out.

imo, I accept your challenge, as long as Sladyish doesn't chicken out.

Are you the only one? :D Come on, find yourself a teammate, and we'll make arrangements.

Am I the only one? :D Come on, find a teammate, let's make a deal.

I have them! Let's make a deal!!!
