To popularize the currently not very in-demand mirror match, I'll post a short story in faces and pictures. Dunno why here, couldn't find a better place.
Game for the Bay Cup against GoD. Turned out quite interesting. 2nd game. The 1st one I successfully threw with the same Brogh.
We both started as Turis, full WT settings, new conservatories and hives. The opponent bargained for the red color for 1500, but I'll still start with my own moves:
111
Scouting near the castle, Taz in the tavern – not bad.
Reveal the Lamp Post – stable and a passage to the grass field with silver pegasuses, Turis goes there. To the right, a prisoner languishes, I build a chain to free him for meat for the pegasi. I put Taz up top, meanwhile Brogh is dug up, and he goes into the chain too. I goofed by sending Adelaide to take the ore mine, when I should have placed her closer to Tazar. Next turn, this mistake will cost me a hero dismissal.
The opponent has less money for heroes, almost all of them go down.
112
Prison freed, it's not meat but Adel with 7 archers, the passage slightly below the prison is opened, the mercury mine is breached from above, and a passage upward. Gold is captured near the castle, Turis is already heading down alone with the army.
Red's army stays near the bottom native secondary town, the main hero runs up.
113
Secondary town taken, the scout captured some gold and the passage down to the respawn, Turis is ready to break through the Griffin Conservatory and send it up to Brogh. Deemer takes the wood mine.
Griffin Conservatory is breached, army heading up to Turis.
114
Brogh reveals 2 Naga Banks and a village. Deemer finds another grass field. Turis is idle.
Stat boosts.
Another Griffin Conservatory.
115
Brogh can't make it to the arena in time due to move points, the village is more important. Left the arena for tomorrow. Taz is slowly leveling defense.
To the right, on the Inferno respawn, nothing but a chest.
Gathering funds.
Turis, having apparently visited the arena, doesn't quite reach the secondary town with her movement points.
The scout got close to the wood mine.
116
Turis on 2 horses gets a level up, unfortunately not Tactics, but Offense is good too. Waiting for reinforcements.
Taz and Brogh are exploring Inferno lands.
The opponent's Turis turns out to be roughly in the same spot as mine.
Scout pekes are also roaming around the secondary town.
117
Another castle village taken, I goof by not sending the scout from the 1st secondary town to the marketplace, and also because of hesitation I forgot to check the Griffin Conservatory. The main hero has to go to the marketplace, wasting precious moves, and buy 6 wood.
Week outcome: At home, horses in the castle; in the secondary town, they are in a fort, net income nearly 3k, besides stone and wood mines, all 4 resource mines are working. Tomorrow +7 horses. Brogh on 121 is ready to take the Naga Bank on 10-19.
Still haven't decided on which faction to main.
Turis apparently gets defeated near her home castle, loses a horse somewhere, and down below through a Dwarf Cottage levels up to 7th level, stats are an order of magnitude better than mine. In both towns, horses are in the citadel. Total for tomorrow +8 horses. On Inferno, no buildings – likely due to wood shortage.

121
Buyout and easily taken Naga Bank on 3, Brogh on a horse heads towards 2 more, nothing else interesting, Turis heads home.
Naga Bank also taken, Turis restores mana in the capital.
122
Brogh not using up all his moves, waiting for reinforcements.
Exploring the lower part of the domain, Turis prepares for the lower hive and to check the upper one.
1st hive checked – guards are fierce. The 2nd one is easier. Horses from the secondary town go for an upgrade.
123
Turis got bored.
Brogh takes Naga Banks, along the way scouts check the lower hive.
Passage to the right opened.
Upper hive taken, significant losses. Apparently no money to alter the lower one, so it's ignored.
124
Brogh gets defeated during scouting and heads to the snowy treasure zone. Turis, still without a spell book, takes the lower hive. I think long and hard about how to do it; decide to upgrade the griffins to block the grand elves, and split the horses, using them and the bell-ringers against pegasi and centaurs. Lost a few marksmen and almost all griffins.
Targeting 2 Griffin Conservatories – the lower native one has 2 angels.
Red Turis is ahead on angels – Griffin Conservatories have been cleared.
Scout pekes approach the right-side village.
125
Both Griffin Conservatories taken, the 2nd one is a max spawn with snowy troops, 15 naga lords and 50 stone golems dealt some damage – lost a few marksmen, 2 horses, and 3 crusaders. Pokémon fell like brave soldiers.
Brogh takes the left Naga Bank and reveals a Dragon Utopia and a Naga Bank on the grass field. I give up on the idea of taking the 2nd Naga Bank on snow – not a pleasant task.
Turis goes for the 1st hive.
Red's main hero is roughly in the same place.
126
Brogh takes the Naga Bank and frees Alamar, who learns Blind. The army moves east through the hive. Nagash receives the army and prepares to take the Naga Bank for gold.
A mage hero is also freed. Boots of Speed taken, which I was too lazy to do.
127
Turis is still lazing around with nothing to do.
Nagash levels up Fire Magic and Wisdom; the mini Naga Bank barely covers the cost of buying the hero for the chain, but the Advanced Fire Magic is worth it. Griffins are bought in the village with an eye on the Dragon Utopia. The bottom line is decent, but without taking the Utopia, I won't be able to build angels in both towns. Praying it's not a max spawn, I gather the troops and give them to Brogh. It's a minimum spawn. Losses are trivial, but so is the money. Resource trade, and at home angels are built in both the castle and the citadel of the secondary town.
Red reveals a scouting area not far from where my battles are taking place.
Turis is hanging around a similar Dragon Utopia, but hasn't taken it yet.
Added 29 minutes later
131
2nd Dragon Utopia is a max spawn, almost no reinforcements, so I skip turns doing small-time robberies.
Turis prepares to receive the army and take the lower Dragon Utopia on her surface. Forgot to buy a spell book – lol)))
Hive thickets revealed.
Dragon Utopia taken, but without scouting the max spawn is not visible. Marching towards the lower Dragon Utopia not far from my secondary town.
132
My Turis was beaten to it by her namesake))) The army isn't impressive. Really regretted not having the spell book, I could have taken it easily. The max spawn is taken, and I execute it extremely poorly – instead of leaving the army with Alamar, I give everything, including artifacts, to the scout from the prison, and he steps into an area visible to red. Later it turned out the opponent's Turis also had Fire Magic, but the max spawn with control hasn't been taken yet.. Dodged a bullet… Brogh restores mana in the village.
Turis heads to the max spawn.
133
I take the Dragon Utopia and there was a funny episode with the prison:
As far as I know, if Adel was sitting in my prison, the opponent will have an analogous hero, i.e., one with a spell book. After taking the Utopia with Tunar, I give everything to little Alamar, he jumps, frees the prisoner, and I fly to the red capital. But outside, there's a hero with an army sitting, and inside it shows the same. Only one move for an assault. If there's another hero inside, I'm stuck with this Rion in the enemy's lair. So I teleported home. Nagash hopped between towns, dropped off saboteurs in the secondary town, and with 11 archers, I fly Brogh towards the enemy's advances, leveling up along the way, and Water Magic just finished leveling. Another jump and I drive off the opponent's main hero who had been boosted, and I enter the Dragon Utopia – great, it hasn't been taken. Then it dawned on me that I could have run from the capital, I would have caught the opponent's army too.
Meanwhile, the opponent gathered another 25 horses with scouts, but no final showdown happened.
134 I fly Brogh to another Dragon Utopia, planning to then pass it to Turis so she, finally equipped with a spell book, could take another Utopia near my capital, but I run into Geon with an army. GG.
