15.02.2017 Bradrok (red, Rampart, Enova, Enova) lose ShinyWinter(blue, Tower, Ain, Turiss) Skirmish M-u 200%, 143

Opp played better. A well-deserved victory. Congratulations!

Confirmed!
In the middle of the first week, I broke into the adjacent zone with a Necropolis dwelling and an Observatory that revealed half of the opponent's respawn. Managed to catch Turiss and Nimbus, Turiss picks up a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, maxes Tactics, catches Armor. Nimbus goes into the second adjacent zone without a dwelling and Necro Necro Necro) + there is also an external dwelling of peasants there. Cleared zone. I prepare Nimbus to break out of it and dump him in the Naga dwelling, having calculated the speed of the upgraded stack, lose him with all artifacts( But from Necromancy + conversion of peasants I got a stack of 200+ skeletons. From the Observatory, the opponent's main town is visible, and the portal from the central zone is right next to it, the town is empty. I build a plan to capture, since I see both sides of the portal, 135-137 Turiss takes the Griffin Conservatory 1. Breaks the exit to the center on my side - Hydras. Then the portal from the center side - Sultan Efreetis. And the portal from the opponent's side - Demons, all without Slow (I got 3 GMA in shrines and scrolls, but there was none). All skeletons are lost. 137 I enter the opponent's empty main town and boom, what a sight, 6 unbought Unicorns + a bunch of Dendroids. On 141 I buy 10 Unicorns and some amount of Dendroids, leave the main town through the portal back to the center for Boots, at this moment the opponent recaptures his main town. Turiss returns and stands right at the exit. The opponent thinks for a while and decides to attack.
Turiss before Fireball.

15.02.2017 Green4eg (red, Conflux, Aenain, Christian) lose Bradrok (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm2c M-u 200%, 125

Played poorly. During development, I realized I could have saved 2-3 turns. I built my Castle only on the second week (made mistakes with the chains). I quickly leveled Shakti, broke through the adjacent zone on 112, and took a pandora's box of 5k experience on 113. On 125, the opponent crashed into the Griffin Conservatory double and wrote gg. Thanks for the game!

15.02.2017 Avellimachi (blue, Conflux, Random, Lacus) lose Derbent (red, Castle, Caitlin, Shiva) 8mm6a XL+U 160%, 147

It turned out to be a somewhat chaotic game. On one hand, my native double start and I fished out Kyrre - seems like I should play; on the other - Lacus without air elementals, no 2nd level, medium and very winding roads. On day 111, I spot an external dwelling of air elementals, on day 112, fish - I decide to play anyway. Lacus heads straight to find the brown player, while Kyrre with scout heroes clears external dwellings and brings reinforcements. I planned to switch to Kyrre, but Lacus leveled up like a god and convinced me otherwise (Tactics-Logistics-Earth-Offense). I ran to the computer without stopping only towards the very end of the week; along the way I took 3 trees of knowledge (2 free and one for 10 gems). The long road and 2 battles with brown mages exhausted my already modest army. On day 117, I kill the computer and am left with 6 fish (at home, unrecruited earth elementals and magogs). There was still a chain on the native respawn to take back a belatedly spotted external dwelling of fire elementals, but with 6 fish a scout hero wouldn't have taken it, and I had no money to recruit the magogs and earth elementals. As a result, by day 121 I have Lacus with Expert Tactics, Logistics, and Earth. The computer has tiers 1-4 built in Fort (+1000), at home tiers 1-6 in Citadel (+500), but I have absolutely no money even to summon back home, and there's no money at the computer's respawn. So I spent the entire 2nd week gathering money, virtually neglecting scouting. At the end of the week, I took an orange ramp (+2000). Finally, on the 3rd week, I started taking objects (2 Dragon Fly Hives and a Griffin Conservatory) and rushed around planning my next moves: I fished out an Arch Devil from a refuge - oh now I'll recruit grand creatures and send Kyrre (Earth and Archery Expert) on a second front to collect Dragon Fly Hives; damn, no money; fine, now Lacus will take a couple of Mageracks and a Naga Bank; in short, a ton of turns were wasted on this nonsense and practically nothing was accomplished. I built Birds in the Castle and, in the double entrance, Magogs in the Citadel. At the end of the week, our scout heroes started to cross paths with the opponent. At the start of the 4th week, in the Tavern I see he already has Archangels; then I see he has control too, but I'm ahead in power. I break a Dragon Utopia (KV, Wings, Sandals of the Saint +2all), buy out all the power, mindlessly pass it to my main (chains are broken because the scouts constantly have to run back for resources and money, plus the opponent's witch killed a couple off); meanwhile the opponent breaks several Dragon Utopias. On day 147, I see Shiva moved through towns (I saw 2 of the opponent's towns) and sat in a Dungeon, apparently to refill mana. I think, no point waiting — the opponent has full control and Archangels, I have no Town Portal (all resources are constantly sold and the Mage Guild is not built anywhere) — it's now or never. I have Lacus with 17/15/8/8, 80 mana (6 Birds, 3 Angels, 16 Magogs, 80 Fish, 40 Earth Elementals, 56 Fire Elementals, 58 Storm Elementals). The opponent has Shiva with 17/25/21/16, 27 mana (14 Archangels in 3 stacks, 15 Champions, 20 Greater Harpies and 4 Greater Griffins). The only magic is a chain for 345 damage — Archangels and stats carry it. GG. Conclusion: make realistic plans and follow them consistently. ))

Many thanks to the opponent for the game!

Many thanks to the opponent for the game!

Got unlucky with meat and gold, ran around with 4 heroes. But Ciele came through. Scouted an external dwelling of angels behind a crowd of能量元素, native dungeon, plan is clear. Don't take external dwellings of marksmen, pikemen, and crusaders, fighting would be too difficult. By day 115 I broke back home, set up GM1 and GM2, got Ice Block, external dwelling easy, just needed to kill the guards. After leveling Ciele some more, I came on the last moves with 30 mana to the external dwelling, turned out there were 49能量元素 to my surprise :)
Spent all mana, kept the archers. Lost a ton of tempo, and financial difficulties contributed to that as well. But by the start of the 3rd month everything was great, took a couple of war boats, upgraded archers, and spent the entire 4th week clearing the treasure zone with two or three more war boats. Come day 211, I was getting ready to switch to the tank that was leveling like a king. But the opponent attacked very timely and came very close to success; just a bit short on magic, and the Archangels at 5 5 4 held out great in the citadel. Thank you for the game

16.02.2017 avellimachi (red, Inferno, Rashka, Pyre) lose Bradrok (blue, Castle, Cuthbert, Müllich) Skirmish M-u 200%, 132

Poor respawn. Broke through to the secondary zone, but it was empty there too. Just some dwarves and that's basically it. Went further into the treasure zone. Saw a Folliant of Air and a pandora's box. Couldn't break through the guard by force, decided to return to the castle and buy everything I could. Ended up with mostly upgraded shooters and knights. Then on 131 the opponent revealed themselves with a Town Portal. On 132 I broke through the Town Portal guard, caught up to the main hero, and dismantled them. The opponent didn't even retreat. Didn't have enough gold to ransom the hero and troops.

Thanks for the game! 3-2 :) Next time, I'm expecting a rematch :)

Poor respawn. Broke through to a secondary area and it was empty too. Just dwarf huts and essentially nothing else. Went further into the treasure zone. Saw a Folly of Air and a Pandora's Box. Couldn't break the guards head-on, so decided to return to the castle and buy everything I could. Basically gathered only upgraded shooters and knights. Then on turn 131 the opponent was spotted using Town Portal. On turn 132 I broke through the Town Portal guard, caught up to the main hero, and dismantled him. The opponent didn't even retreat. Had no gold to ransom the hero or the troops.

Thanks for the game! 3-2 :) Next time I'm expecting a rematch :)

The game was very interesting; my opponent had a bug with the hero's skills, but his development seemed to be going better, in my opinion, and in the end, he was a little unlucky, and I took advantage of his mistake. If it weren't for the mistake, I think I would have had fewer chances to win. Thanks for the game!

The game was very interesting; my opponent had a bug with the adjacent zone but development went more favorably, in my opinion, and towards the end I was a bit unlucky, and he took advantage of my mistake. If not for the mistake, I think my chances of winning would have been lower. Thanks for the game!

Instead of an adjacent zone, there was water. I had to crawl through the sand. Gathered some stats and went down in the endgame rush; thanks for the game.

15.02.2017 lTimsonl (red, Stronghold, Dessa, Vidomina) lose Bradrok (blue, Tower, Nella, Nella), Panic, 223

In the first week, I couldn't place a nag. I noticed the road block too late (a mine respawned, guarding Rurkh). I found 1 goblin stash and that was it. I mistakenly thought that was it. But then I rushed to the center, destroying everything in my path. I quickly gained stats. I figured out a tactic. I broke through to the opponent's base. In the final, I shot down with magic/archers, closing myself in a corner.

Thanks for the game!

In the first week, I couldn't place a nag. I noticed the road block too late (a mine respawned, guarding Rurkh). I found 1 goblin stash and that was it. I thought I was doing well. But then I rushed to the center, destroying everything in my path. I quickly gained stats. I grabbed a tactic. I broke through to the opponent's goal. In the final, I shot down with magic/archers, closing myself in a corner.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game! I lost momentum at the beginning despite having a good hand.
