Colorado (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Max 12 (Red, Tower, Eine, Eine), 2m4d(3), 1.4.4.

Max's attempt at a rematch did not succeed. This time, everything went smoothly for me. On the first week, 1-6 in the castle without bulls + Barbarian secondary skill. I revealed 2 conservatories, one of which had up to 200 griffins. On the second week, I captured the external dwelling of bears, Taz took expert Earth. In the end, I went around collecting money and on day 127, after opening a Naga Bank, I placed bears in the secondary town. At home I placed bulls — let them be. On the third week, I opened one of the conservatories — a two-stack + along the way I took medusa dwellings, a gnome dwelling... In the underground, I found a Cape of Magic Restriction after level 1-2. I laughed for a long time seeing that Max had left Mother Eine. But in the end, the cape was never needed. At the start of week 4, I took another 2 conservatories and Taz broke through closer to yet another conservatory. Taz had 6 angels, 9 bears, 16 wyverns, 60 lizardmen, wasps, flies... Timely upgraded to expert Pathfinding and Logistics allowed him to fly with angels even through swamp. After my warning that he didn't have many chances, the opponent surrendered, as he was significantly behind in development. There's simply no point in discussing the parameters of Eine and Taz.
Thanks to my opponent for the game. Too bad, but I expected more, as they promised to tear me apart. Max didn't succeed because he doesn't play Tower very well, however, no matter how much I urged him not to randomize but to choose — all for nothing. In the end, he randomed himself into it...

Colorado (Red, Castle, Valeska, Alkin) def HYVET (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2m4d(3), 1.4.7.

On the first week, horses in the citadel + Conflux secondary + gloves of the horseman. In the tavern, Alkin — I decide who will be the father for Earth magic, as 3 conservatories are revealed. :smile44: I scouted 2 conservatories — both up to 200 griffins, one a 3-stack. I decided to wait until week 3. Alkin takes Earth, becomes the father, and by day 131 levels up to expert Earth. :smile25: Another conservatory is found. At the start of week 3, I buy almost all growth and take 2 conservatories, break back home and there I take another 2: 2+3+3+2. No artifacts for stats, except +1 to knowledge, so Alkin is 4-14-4-3. :smile27: Kiryukha by that time was already 10-9-4-3, which, with 10 angels, didn't bother me much. :smile01: Then a horse dives into the town portal, sees Kiryukha there with 2 grand elves and centaurs, for some reason not upgraded. Taz arrives, kills 37 out of 38 elves, but Kirya buys them back. Another horse, meanwhile, sneaks into the enemy respawn and scouts the capital with a view spell, 2 even unexplored conservatories half a turn from the capital each, and an external dwelling of dragons! :eek: Immediately I go visiting, while it's not too late, but not through the GO, since from the last conservatory it's not far to the opponent's capital. On day 137, angels in the castle, and on day 141, they deliver another 3 angels.
Kiryukha, realizing the end is near, takes everything she can and dives into both conservatories, and then, when Taz is already half a turn from the capital, desperately charges into the GO — 72 death knights... :smile13: I thought she'd stay there... No! 5 dragons, 4 angels, and 9 grand horses survive. Then I take her capital, where all the wood elves, pegasi, dwarves, and some centaurs are not bought back, and I bash through the second GO with Taz — also up to 99 death knights. Kiryukha storms my capital and captures it, losing 2 dragons and 1 angel in the process, since I had on the last line Valya at level 8 with stats 5-9. Despite 2:30 AM and my persistent offers to end the suffering, the opponent decides to fight to the last :smile53: :smile06: and for the next 5 days, Alkin with gloves and base logistics chases Kiryukha across the map. :smile14: On day 146, finally trapped in the underground, Kiryukha attacks. Gotcha, I think, and I blunder — instead of hitting 9 war horses with a stack of 11 angels, I wait and the opponent buys back without losses (where did the money come from, since even the troops in her own castle weren't bought out???). :smile21: But on the next turn, Kiryukha still surrenders and everyone goes to sleep. :smile49: :smile01:
Thanks to my opponent for the game. Before, I never managed to gather as many as 13 angels by day 141... :)
