10/31/2015. Djar (red, Necropolis, Clavius) def. Rockmachine (blue, Fortress, Sylvia, Ciel) 2SM4d(3) 223
Confirmed. We played for a long time, 2 months. I fully developed Ciel. In the end, the archer had 200 attack and 10 angels with meat shields. But the opponent had the Cloak of the Damned, which applies weakness, slow, and so on. And also, mass haste on the first turn. 1000 skeletons easily took out the angels, and after that, there was no point in continuing:eek: Thanks for the game:smile14:
The map was very favorable to me (only zero Hives). On day 111, I found 3 Monster Lairs and 3 Goblin Camps. The guard at the Monster Lair was weak (hordes of level 1 infantry). I decided to invest all my resources in building a Monster army. On day 117, I decided NOT to build a Castle (because it only gives +1 Monster) and instead focused on upgrading the Monsters. By saving 5000 gold from 3 markets and selling all resources except crystals, I ended up with a powerful army on day 121 – 7 upgraded Monsters! On day 122, I added 2 more Monsters, resulting in a total of 9, and there were still 2 more available in the Castle that I hadn't bought. At this point, I took a huge risk – I broke the maximum Utopia and lost 4 of them. Out of the 4 artifacts, 2 were useless (Navigation). I bought 2 Monsters and, with 7 of them, went for a Global Offensive (Naga horde) on the same day. My opponent had a triple Global Offensive consisting of an Efreet Sultan horde, and he broke through my Global Offensive with huge losses. And I caught him right after he broke through his own Global Offensive.
Thank you for the game!
Thank you for the game.

My starting hand was great (except for zero Hives). On 111 I found 3 Wyvern dens and 3 Goblin huts. The guard on the Wyvern dens was weak (hordes of level 1 walkers). I decided to invest all resources into a Wyvern army. On 117 I decided NOT TO BUILD the Castle (since that would only be +1 Wyvern) and instead upgraded the Wyverns. Saving 5000 gold on 3 markets, I sold all resources except crystals, and as a result on 121 I had a powerful army — 7 upgraded Wyverns! On 122, 2 more Wyverns were added, resulting in 9, with 2 more not yet purchased in the Castle. Here I took a huge risk — I broke the maximum Dragon Utopia and lost 4 units. Of the 4 artifacts, 2 were useless (navigation). I bought 2 Wyverns, and with 7 units I went for the GO (horde of Nagas) on the same day. My opponent had a triple GO from which came a horde of Efreet Sultans, and he broke the GO with huge losses. And I caught him right after he broke his GO.
Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game.
I don't know about my OPP, but mine dealt more than normally. On 115 I discovered 2 external Angel dwellings, 3 Griffin Conservatories (one was minimum, didn't check the rest). No Daddy Dragons yet, I suppose, but Lebeta was handling the duties — she leveled Expert Earth, learned Slow, and shot for 90 ranged damage. So in theory, by 117 I would have had 2 external Angel dwellings and Angels built in the Castle. But then suddenly GG from OPP...
Thanks for the game.
October 24, 2015 PunkeR (red, citadel, Kregg, Kregg) def. Jewelmask (blue, castle, Valeska, Nela) Jebus Cross 117
Scouting on the first day didn't reveal anything significant, but I decided to play for resources because there were good roads, griffins near the castle guarded by iron golems, speed artifacts on Kregg, and built-up hounds. Towards the end of the week, I scouted a hidden bear lair, took Kregg, and revealed 3 Hive structures standing close together near the castle, but it was problematic to run across the ground to each one. I upgraded the griffins, but after the battles, only 2 remained. Near the most accessible Hive, there was a horde of lizards, and it felt risky to take it with two bears and a couple of griffins, so on turn 117, I ran Kregg to break through the golem horde guarding the griffins. After the battle, only one bear remained. However, theoretically, on turn 121 with the resource boost and griffins, I could have taken 3 Hives and continued. Unfortunately, on turn 117, my opponent surrendered in a hidden angel lair.
Thanks for the game!
p.s.
I miscalculated a bit; 10-19 black knights were guarding it, I thought there would be fewer, but there were 19, and there was also a cheap artifact lying around, probably from a quest... I broke through them, but there wasn't enough meat left for the angels, and I used more magic than planned, so I didn't finish off 36 HP and died a heroic death. :)
There was one very big problem at the home respawn — there is no road to the secondary. No restarts left... On the bright side, there was one external dwelling of angels and one external dwelling of archers, and 2 external dwellings of griffins. The angel dwelling was guarded by trolls, and after the battle I had too few pikanos to take the angels in the first week.
On 121 things went south — the angels rolled critical morale and immediately crashed into the bowmen. After the fight, almost all the bowmen died. And there were 61 of them... My entire strategy for a fast exit evaporates into thin air. Now my only chance is the conservatories. I had 3 of them nearby! Minimum, double, and maximum. In the maximum one at the very end of the battle, I messed up and lost one angel. Valeska keeps being offered water magic, and I politely decline. For ГО I have 2 choices — bad and even worse — titans and the meanest guys from same-tier heroes (black dragons). I build my strategy around a late exit on 131. Since angels are faster than titans and titans are closer, I attack them with 12 angels and one-hit meat. There are 15 of them. After the battle, 2 angels fall. I start clearing the center, hoping that the opponent's life isn't exactly a piece of cake there either... Valeska levels up to the end and the final choice is diplomacy or keen sight. I take diplomacy, of course; after all, paying off enemies at more reasonable prices might come in handy =)
First contact! On 143 the opponent attacks (either flight, or jumps, or both together). I have 14 angels and 44 upgraded wyverns. The opponent has 46 wyverns, 15 green dragons (thank god they weren't gold...), 20 upgraded unicorns, 8 archangels (surprise), 2 stacks of pegasi to remove retaliation, and fodder. I have the advantage in stats, plenty of money, and diplomacy. I remove retaliation from the wyverns and hit them with my stack of upgraded wyverns, after which I brazenly pay them off at reasonable prices. The opponent is minus 17 wyverns...
Second contact! Same day, only now it's my turn. Since I still have plenty of money and can reach the opponent, I decide to attack. After chain lightning and armageddon, the opponent has 11 wyverns, 9 green dragons, and 1 upgraded unicorn left. (He cast oil). I pay them off with 26 upgraded wyverns.
Now the advantage in strength is mine. But I have one very big problem. No earth magic and no town portal... But the opponent has them... Here he began to develop a strategy correct for him — jumping across the map and seizing my castles. In the long run, he could have won, but he made one decisive mistake — he left his main hero in the castle that I eventually reached. And I managed to choke him out.
It turns out the opponent had 3 external dwellings of dragons...
Thanks for the game!

I slipped. I fell. I passed out. I woke up - in a cast.
A rather sparse respawn, not many skeleton external dwellings spawned, a single Griffin Conservatory, a couple of hives in the visible area, an external dwelling of horses, the Spirit of Despair was very helpful.
On day 117, Gosha had 1 angel, 150 skeletons, 2 horses from the castle, was standing on the horse external dwelling, after the external dwelling planned hives along the road to GO, exit roughly on day 122-123 after buying growth and upgrading horses. On day 117, the opponent surrendered; his respawn gave him nothing except 2 hives, very unfortunate.
Thanks for the game!

A huge but rich respawn, many Griffin Conservatories, an angel external dwelling, but almost no hives. Gundula came to the main base, a stupid bitch, took all schools of magic except earth, and in the native castle, as expected, there was no Haste. There was a level 3 Dragon Utopia on the way from the castle, but I didn't go for it, lacked meat. On day 122, I gathered 11 angels and 13 pixies, moved to break out, hoping for a good center. GO - 25 phantom dragons, I underestimated them, they ate an angel, all the pixies, and all the meat. Center scouting on the first day revealed nothing interesting, just a minimal hive and +2 boots. Mistakenly broke a prison with 70 champions, morale kills lost 2 angels, the hero that came out wasn't great, except with Logistics. I found wings, a level 3 Dragon Utopia appeared, but I didn't go in without meat. On day 131, having 9 angels (growth was delivered), I took the +2 boots and a +4 shield for all. But then the opponent overwhelmed me with 45 wyverns, 25 greater minotaurs, and 4 angels, a +10 defense against mine and a red orb.
I should have played around the home Dragon Utopia and upgrading archers, and exited a couple of days later; the opponent seems to have come out around day 125 or 126. That way I would have saved the meat and pixies when breaking through GO, and would have had chances going forward.
Thanks for the game!

Fairly sparse respawn, not many skeleton external dwellings spawned, a single Griffin Conservatory, a pair of Dragon Fly Hives in visible range, an external dwelling of horses, the Spirit of Despair helped a lot.
By day 117 Gosh had 1 angel, 150 skeletons, 2 horses from the castle, was standing on an external dwelling of horses, after that dwelling planned the Dragon Fly Hives along the road to GO, exit approximately on day 122-123 after buying growth and upgrading the horses. On day 117 the opponent surrendered, he didn't get anything on his respawn except 2 Dragon Fly Hives, very unfortunate.
Thanks for the game!
There was one restart left, but I was deceived by the fact that near the castle there was a stable, an external market, and a lookout tower was visible. And as the lookout tower and scouting later showed - the respawn is empty, like the bald skull of Gosh.
Thanks for the game.
