Mizrael vs Alex The Great
HeroesWorld - Bye, match score 1-1

Alex(Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Mizrael(Castle, Caitlin, Crag Hack) 2sm4d(3) 127

We took a restart, 5 heroes from the start - Crag arrives, I see an external dwelling of archers and a Crusader, I hide the old man until turn 3. Scouts meanwhile toss archers to each other and hit external dwellings and treasure piles. 113 - secondary town is Rampart, the army starts bouncing between 2 spawns (I really want to squeeze in Pegasi with the external dwelling in the secondary). End of week: home has Cavaliers in the Citadel, secondary has Pegasi in it plus an external dwelling, all the creature stacks from external dwellings are bought out. Heavy spending in week 1 doesn't allow buying up all the treasure immediately, so as not to lose tempo Crag breaks a Naga Bank with 20 Nagas using only Cavaliers and Pegasi, 11 Pegasi remain, but there's money to buy creature stacks and a spell book. Found another external dwelling of Pegasi, upgraded Elves and I'm leveling Crag to go into the throne Griffin Conservatory. Broke the 125 two-stack without issues and then Tazar comes visiting, 1 hex short of reaching the capital :) All the treasure is with me, I'm not too worried - I hit Basilisks for Shackles of War and a Pandora's Box with a stack of War Unicorns (5k gold - a trap, I wanted experience), find an external dwelling of Elves plus a passage to the treasure zone. Here I majorly screwed up - Crag is Hasted by Angels, and all the treasure is with the scout! And this is on terrain scouted by the opponent - roads are quick, Taz grabbed a stable in Castle and with Angelic Haste reaches the carrier of creature stacks... The archers were halved, the ransom cost 10k gold, on my turn Crag gets the treasure and I decide to attack Taz anyway with the Shackles (no point going into the treasure zone, that's like looking for happiness - especially since there's no way to take a Dragon Utopia even if I find one). Expert Artillery on Crag could have helped turn the fight, but not after losing half the archers for absolutely nothing. Taz has 90 mana and Arrow Tower somewhere around 70, I'll upload saves later - maybe someone can check what would have happened if Crag had fought the battle with all the treasure, I'm no longer interested - because I'm a deer :smile35:. So Crag crashed against Taz's toughened and shielded Basilisks. Thanks for the game.

Mizrael(Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Alex(Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 126

External dwelling of Troglodytes from the start, quick roads - I spread out with 5 heroes. 112 - secondary town is Conflux, then Shakti breaks a stack of Dendroids at the Metro, at the exit there's a lot of Ice elementals - on the surface, forget them. 116 - native secondary town, the passage was held by 40 Elves, thankfully Minotaurs were already there, I split them 1 each and managed to reduce losses (couldn't do it without any losses, the terrain saved 2 central stacks of Elves). End of week: home has Minotaurs in the Citadel, secondary has Eyes in it, 1000 in Conflux. 121 buyout of secondary growth, transfer of creature stacks to Kyrre on the road, where he breaks a Medusa dwelling with 8 per stack. 122 Shakti stocked up on a spell book, got creature stacks and broke a trash-tier Conservatory, Hasted by Angels near the broken Metro. On his turn, Kyrre runs in from above, hits a Golden Bow from under Wyverns, breaks the entrance underground and, seeing no guards, immediately turns back. 123 Shakti with all the treasure comes out to the surface - Kyrre is far away, so he hits a Naga Bank, which goes towards upgrading and buying Harpies. 125 the blue's secondary (Castle) is captured, a Conservatory with 4 Angels under it is broken. On 126 Shakti sits in the Rampart capital, where a surprise awaits him in the form of unbought growth. On his turn, the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

P.S. Saves will come later, when I get to the unLime.
