Interportal - autumn 2011 The battle of sites - autumn 2011

HW vs HP.
Pit for LM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Dheremif) def Palach (red, Tower, Neela, Crag Hack), panic, 124.
Opponent chose three restarts on 111, I took 2, in the last generation I see a Griffin Conservatory, some gold, upgrades and Dheremif, decided to play, even though the archers aren't built and there are only 21 of them, and there's no one to speed boost with.
On 112 I already have 7 heroes and 8k gold, I see armor +3 to magic. On 113 the lookout tower shows luck — a passage to the necro respawn along the road generated through a mercury mine. According to HW rules, bugged passages can be used, which I happily took advantage of (I mean, why strike the sharpshooters two days away over rough terrain). Found a stable there on 114, captured a village on 115. Meanwhile, at the respawn, another Griffin Conservatory was found, a tier-two (the first was 3-4, turned out to be 3). Well, I'm on a roll. Also took a Pandora's Box on 115 for basilisk worth 5000 experience. On 116 I have mass haste. On 117 I stop near the stable, built cavalry and a citadel, no gold left.
On 121 I see Crag Hack in the neighboring zone, but the passage, fortunately, is over rough terrain. I run to the Griffin Conservatory. 122 — I take a Dwarf Cottage by 15, stop at the Griffin Conservatory. Crag Hack runs off somewhere. 123 — I take 2 angels with the loss of 2 crusaders, 1 champion and a dozen pikemen, stop to strike up camp and replenish magic. Village Mage Guild level 2.
On 124 news arrives of Crag Hack's death in a max-hive. Could have been interesting — the Mage Guild level 4 offered Armageddon:smile51:
Thank you for the game.

News from the Portal.

Confirmation from Sir Deep Mike:

I lost to numOne with no chance. Just unreal, everything was normal for me, I was building normally and leveling up my hero, was supposed to build angels on the second week. But my opponent, on balanced and at 160% to boot, by mid-second week had greided and bought all the troops, broke through 3 Griffin Conservatories with 80 genies each, 2 of them greided, almost without losses to his main troops, and that without even having slow... His Kira's stats were 10-10-6-3, which for the second week on balanced is just something. Demoralized, I also decided to run my main to visit +1 morale, and 1 tile short of home to return — though sitting in a siege clearly wouldn't have saved me even with building angels.

And a message from Sir Neoandy:

Played with Kobra until 4:20 AM (day 137) and it seems he fell asleep , but didn't want to surrender after killing the daddy
I'm going to sleep too, hopefully we'll finish it tomorrow
Update:
The turn never passed to me, the cyclopses didn't just give up the red boots.
