Neoandy (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def RetroFM (blue, castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4D(3), 126

Took all the remaining resources, opponent had 113 left.
111 - lizardmen not built. Building flies. 2nd hero in tavern is a necromancer. Starting army 15 lizardmen and 41 gnolls. External dwelling of lizardmen is painted. External dwellings of flies, Griffin Conservatory, Medusa pens, boots behind the Centaur horde, and a Pandora's Box for 20-49 dendroid guards are revealed. Bought 5 heroes.
112 - too early to attack the Centaurs, waiting for construction and upgrade of lizardmen - gnolls will still come in handy... Spend the day fighting gnomes and visiting the +1000 experience pillar, get Expert Defense and Basic Earth. Build lizardmen. Revealed Dragon Utopia and external dwelling of gnolls. Planning to take a risk on the wooden men - surely there aren't 49 of them!?
113 - upgrade of lizardmen, now 32 of them. Buying 6th hero with ballista. Scout gathers money, finds a Dragon Fly Hive, a couple of crypts, a cave, and positions to deliver gnolls from the external dwelling next turn. Boots taken from behind the Centaur horde with the loss of only 1 gremlin. Could have fought the dendroids on 113, but decided not to scare the opponent with a long turn to avoid triggering a resign on 133. However, by this time the opponent already had 3 money heroes, revealed stables, external dwellings of pikemen and archers, Griffin Conservatory, Dragon Fly Hive, and many roads - I think there wouldn't have been a resign.
114 - 32 lizardmen warriors, 54+1 gnolls, ballista, and 4 flies attack the dendroids - of course there weren't 49 of them, only 48 :smoke: But the lizardmen were upgraded for good reason, and the battle was certainly scary with the morale of the logs and the presence of an upgraded stack, but when a couple of stacks were killed, the morale became less. The Pandora's Box gives 10k experience! and Tazar woke up at level 10, with Expert Defense, Earth, Archery, and Advanced Tactics. Swift roads and boots led to excessive confidence, which almost cost the game. Building wyverns to take the crypt (just in case).
115 - Tazar beats everyone without problems, including the water elementals with the upgraded on the grass and everything encountered. Level 12, gained Basic Attack. Built battle nymphs. Bought Bron as the 7th hero. In perspective, another Pandora's Box for 20-49 minotaurs and a more distant one for 10-19 nightmares.
116 - empty Conflux captured, and Tazar uses the last wood to build a mage guild, in order to take the Naga Bank on 117. Spending the night in the Conflux.
117 - Naga Bank in sight. Should wait for reinforcements to arrive the next day, but that would mean practically wasting the day - attacking - maximum. Mana 20, Spell Power 4. 2 wyverns, 32 lizardmen, about 50 gnolls, and 1+1+1 butterflies. Could have played better perhaps, but defense is defense, while attack was lacking, and when the mana runs out, there is 1 full and a single Naga left, which quickly finish off 4 gnolls and a wyvern and get to work on the lizardmen. That's how sadly it could have all ended. Auto-fight wasn't given to me, and anyway why would it be - such an advantage! Resurrecting at home. Fortunately, I had accumulated a fair amount of money.
Well, after that everything is simple, the scout heroes found another external dwelling of lizardmen in the backlands, Tazar heads to the Conflux (resurrecting there made no sense - since the army was home and there's no chain) so we run in the boots to finish off the Naga Bank, giving troops to the scout heroes to clear the external dwelling of lizardmen. He cleared the griffins in the cave and the lizardmen, visited the arena there, killed the blue scout hero a turn later. Meanwhile, Valeska, who sensing news of the loss was rushing to finish off a wounded Tazar as she thought, was already killing mine. Meanwhile, +12000 in the Naga Bank, resurrection at home, Griffin Conservatory for just 1 angel, upgrade of wyverns and battle nymphs, and an attack on Valeska rushing towards the swamp capital.

The FB ended before it began - positioning on Expert Tactics and Mass Slow convinced the opponent.

Thanks for the game!
