Open Championship of the Black Earth region.

Not 8mm6, but 6LM10. We finished on 2.2.7.
After spending all the restarts, a block of golden golems spawned from the lot, blocking my only road. But there was a passage to part of my spawn, so it doesn't count as objective. Eventually, on the first week I built dendroids in the Citadel (0 crystals on the accessible piece) and only broke out on day 8, when my opponent had already killed his computer. Then I slowly ramped up, luckily no one bothered me. I dug up all the components of the Sharpshooter's Bow, and in the town, thanks to the library, I got a portal. On the fifth month, I got crap and was just about to rebuild it when I got the entire fifth month in a box. And as it turned out later, we started without rebuilding. :cool: The second funny thing was this: dad was running through the underground passage, knocking out guards, while the scout hero was collecting loot behind him, falling further and further behind. So to hand dad the Necklace of Dragon Teeth, I had to buy another hero. Dad left, the scout hero returned to inspect the grave he had run past, saving moves... there was +6 to all. :eek:
Dad leveled up terribly, we shoved in resistance, luck, and intelligence. Things were going better for Grindan, who was given Air magic. I took the first Utopia with difficulty; half the army consisted of Dwarves who had to hold out while Kyrre cast three implosions. After that it got easier; in the 3rd Utopia I was given the Sword of Judgement, in the 5th - the Lion's Shield. I started building up a Rampart town, but I was afraid of the opponent; the tavern showed archers and a stronger army. But I finally got the last component of the Elixir of Life. On 2.2.1 I jumped out of the fog and took a Castle where the enemy had built angels. As a result, instead of 17 regular units, I had 19 upgraded ones. ;) Then Grinya gave me growth and I went to crush the enemy's castles and heroes until only Shakti remained. In the final, my 1300 mana and 32nd spell weren't needed because of the Red Orb, but a big advantage in meat (20 Archangels + 58 Wyverns + 23 Unicorns + 44 Dendroids + 144 Dwarves + 139 Elves + 25 Pegasi vs. 15 Archangels + 80 Wyverns + 20 Zealots + 19 Medusas + 36 Evil Eyes + 36 Crusaders + 14 Scorpicores) left no chance for Blue.
For a debut on this version, not bad, although in some moments I played just terribly. But, paraphrasing the saying - "not punished, not an idiot." :D
