dmitrik (red, Necropolis, Zoltan) defeated SmertiPo (blue, Academy, Ora) – Week 5

Overall, the game was quite easy – it was Necropolis, and I was lucky. I quickly got a lair, and on the second day, I got boots in the stronghold. I explored several zones, looted some treasures, bought some items, and by the end of the month, I had over 1000 bows, the Archer's Dream, two dwarven boots to reduce spell damage, a ring with 20 initiative, and some other good items. Then I went through the Gate of Oblivion. Andrey didn't have a good game, so he decided not to prolong it and surrendered.

Thanks for the game.

Exactly. He was about one and a half times behind in development. I didn't level up the hero for the final stage, so when I saw Zoltan in the game, I decided not to delay. I don't like bullying weaker players. :)

Thank you for the game and good luck in the final.

Kolobokk (mages, red, Razazak) defeated Moz (blue, dwarves, Ingvar) in week 5. Initially, things were great: 3 of my own heroes, a 4th Ingvar in the tavern, and Ingvar in the dungeon. I had a large army of Ingvar's father, built a tower (on week 2, I ran out of crystals, so I built towers 1-4 in the citadel), which included resurrection, and leveled up to 15th level with light magic. I rushed home, and luckily, I saw Kolobokk near a treasure with two dwarven artifacts. Then, in the middle of week 3, Razazak appeared in that same treasure and started devouring everything like a vacuum cleaner. (My main generator is awesome, with 20 cyclops guarding it.) I managed to jump into that treasure, grab a couple of relics (due to internet problems, the first good attempt didn't save), and then everything went downhill. Morale dropped to 150 for the bears, and they managed to squeeze through the hole, and it all went wrong. In the end, Razazak kicked me out of that treasure. Then, somehow, he flew directly, without making any mistakes, bypassing the center (without clicking anywhere), to my industrial zone, where I had set up a utopia on week 2. I had to go into the utopia without mana, and there was a mega-lucky empty field, where I finished off the remaining troops. I got the Skull of Markal and the Amulet of the Necromancer. Then, Razazak ran towards me with his army and killed me completely. Thanks for the game. I don't know where Kolobokk got such a compass – he went straight to the treasure without clicking (and it was a sand treasure), and then, without clicking, he didn't even go to me, but directly to the utopia. But still, I lost because I rushed and made mistakes when I saw Kolobokk in that treasure.

kolobokk(mages, red, razzak) defeated moz(blue, dwarves, ingvar) 5th week.

Everything is as such, except that it was direct. At first I actually moved slowly - but from the center I opened 2 exits; to my joy, the 2nd zone turned out to be a treasury, though it being sandy - well, that's just what the generator created. And on 1 Dragon Utopia they gave me boots and the game went faster. Opened almost all zones; I probably didn't open only two Castle ones and one treasury. Actually, moz got very lucky with the density of snow zones - I only ran through 2 and saw another 1-2 in adjacent ones.
Rather, Lekha, these feelings are related to the fact that you slowed down a lot this time.

By the finale, my hero was level 24 and moz's was 17-18 - for 5 weeks that's still a bit low, even for a dwarf.
For some reason this time there were a lot of crashes specifically during the opponent's turns.

Thanks for the game.

Wow, but I haven't lost to the Dwarves even once))). And I fell for that trick again)))

kolobokk (Orc, Blue, Hagesh) defeated Dmitrik (Red, Dungeon, Letos + Warlock) in the middle of the third week.

After losing both heroes, Dmitrik surrendered in the middle of the 3rd week.
I got lucky with the upgrades; by the end, I was level 19, with Logu and Machines appearing quite early, around day 1-2. I ran the Path of War quickly, but somehow didn't make it to the treasure. I focused on resource gathering, and the artifacts turned out to be quite good: Ring of the Initiate and Gnome Armor. Second, I started leveling up Krag; with 6 Wyverns and Logu, he only really started to gain momentum around day 3 of the 3rd week.

Thanks for the game.

Ray - by the way, Lekha has lost to me with Ingvar for the second time now.

Kolobokk (Orc, Blue, Hagesh) defeated Dmitrik (Red, Dungeon, Letos + Warlock) in the middle of the third week.

So, Warlock came first, Letos on the third day. He immediately sent both of them to adjacent territories, planning to break through to the centers simultaneously, but he overestimated his strength. Also, both Warlocks were developing exclusively in attack (Warlock was level 13 with 6 or 7 spells, which is a bit sad). He didn't want to drag it out and surrendered.

Thanks for the game.
