5.07.2011 gende (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Isra) def RozenKran (red, Citadel, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) 2SM4d(3) 234.

My opponent used all his restarts, I had 112 left. I spawned underground, with many blocks in all directions, ГО - Dimension Door (10-19), no tasty external dwellings, but I decided to play, since through the teleport on 111 I cleared an adjacent zone from Rampart (losing ~25 gr. Troglodytes to Centaurs on grass), and my opponent also seemed to have a slow start judging by the number of heroes. Around 115 I finally spotted an external dwelling of Eyes and decided to mass them; also, after spotting a Necropolis adjacent zone, I decided to make Isra my main.
I did a lot of "craning," running back and forth; by weeks 3-4 I only barely managed to mass Skeletons (~800) and Eyes (~100), took the Boots of Speed, split my army, and started taking 2 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Dragon Utopias, which were located fairly close together. The Griffin Conservatories dropped levels 1 and 2. The Dragon Utopias dropped levels 3 and 4. I got Wings and a Sword +5 to all stats. Before taking the 2nd Dragon Utopia, my opponent (Tyraxor 11-10-11-9, something like that, who had a level 5 helmet) was spotted in the Underground, but my main lacked 4-5 tiles to return to town. I built a level 4 Guild of Mages in Rampart, all garbage)
With the Wings, I ran away from my opponent, leaving him my main and secondary heroes, and flew off to make skeletons myself.
Surprisingly, Isra leveled up quite well — Attack, Defense, and Air Magic came up.
Around 215, having made 2k Skeletons with a collected Elixir of Life, I finally decided to push my opponent, who had Dimension Door, after first grabbing the Shackles of War, and started recapturing my native towns, building level 5 Guilds of Mages and looking for Dimension Door. So I rushed straight to Rampart, retook it, and the level 5 Guild of Mages gave me Dimension Door! After 3-4 turns I caught up to my opponent; in the final battle against 2k+ Skeletons with 10 HP, my opponent had no counter (Implosion dealt 1650 damage), especially since Isra had slightly better stats.

Total 10+ hours of play) Probably won't level Isra anymore, I decided to try it and didn't really like it) Thanks to my opponent for an interesting game)

Oh, and you can still watch the game recordings with my commentary on Justin (actually, if anyone is interested, I stream all my games in the fun section on sc2tv.ru)
