2 mistakes - first, I started as Gurnison 2- there's an error in the save with my nickname spelling..
as for the game -

111 - Gurni with 20 goblins + Zubarkas brought a couple of orcs .. wolves not built.. decided to build orcs ..
since it's been a very very long time since I played Barbarian .. and it's not my town anyway .. I prefer playing with Haven or Rampart ..
and there the tactic is ranged fire =)+ 2 more heroes +350 gold =) ... took out skeletons on the path and imps - got +1 defense and here's the mistake!
- saw a descent into the underground - guarded by fire elementals - decided to fight with 45 goblins, 12 orcs, 12 centaurs ..
barely pulled it off but only 2 orcs remained =( .. what was the point of attacking ..? second guard below - a horde of dire wolves...
Got discouraged.. but later saw an external dwelling of behemoths + a hive in the corner of the respawn.. and decided not to give up yet, but to keep fighting... Dunno though if anything will come of it =)

112 - gather resources and after building wolves, recruit them and capture resources from the imps - ballista is already upgraded .. so the ranged fire begins..

113 - build rocs .. only recruit 2 =( no money .. and some unclear hero shuffling starts =)
Trying to guess how to get to the external behemoth dwelling...

114 - only 4 crystals and 1 stone =( .. the stone mine is very far away .. but buying 1 more roc, we take out a group of gargoyles ..
+ grab the chest and build citadel.. apparently we won't manage to build behemoths .. since there's very little gold and crystals...
2 paths through off-road onto snow and swamp =( .. just our luck to be running there =)
115 - and we make a mistake again ... break through to the snow - 15 vampires +3 upgraded .. and lose 1 roc =( ... build a market .. since nothing else works out...
116 - decide not to risk it and not capture the external behemoth dwelling - since there's nothing to do it with =( .. build castle.. Gurni only level 4 =( but at least got earth magic..
117 - build behemoths =)... scouted 1 Griffin Conservatory.. too bad I got eliminated on day 1 .. otherwise I would have taken the external behemoth dwelling too =(
121 - buy another hero ... gather resources .... look for Slow ... level up earth magic... I look at the respawn and think - "how could one have accelerated here without making mistakes =) .. and take the secondary, external dwelling, etc.."
opponent already took a secondary .. only 1 though so not too scary .. but there's concern it's a swamp secondary..
122 - +1 attack in the upgrade building .. crawling at turtle speed to take the external behemoth dwelling .. terribly little money ...
123 - +1 spell power in the upgrade building ... bought another hero for some reason .. scouted another Griffin Conservatory on the snow .. a tiny spark of hope appeared ...
124 - bought 6 rocs and send Gurni ... he visited the stables..
125 - took the external behemoth dwelling ... lost 15 goblins and 6 wolves
126 - running around....
127 - captured a chest +1 knowledge upgrade for the monk and +1 defense in the upgrade building... recruit a behemoth from the external dwelling
131 - built a guild and bought a spell book .. and hooray we have Slow and Haste .. though earth magic is only advanced and 2-2 spell power and knowledge ... capture resources with the stack...
132 - try to level up to expert earth +2 levels but still nothing...
133 - have expert earth .. finally visited the lookout near the Griffin Conservatory and saw a bit of blue's respawn...
134 - bought a few behemoths .. 7 total ... +1 more not yet recruited ... took a minor Griffin Conservatory..
135 - took the Tower secondary..
136 - took another Griffin Conservatory and again minor =(... broke through to Naga for some reason and they killed 2 rocs with morale =(

137 - saw blues in the treasure zone 1 turn from our castle... 20+ wyverns +20+ wyverns + 2 slots of angels 1-5 ... stats 5-19 ... ours 13-5 =(
141 - planning to take the Naga bank + crypt + dwarf dwelling and upgrade behemoths .. but notice blue's movement in the underground under our castle...
142 - bought everything we could and await the attack of a horde of wyverns and hundreds of lizardmen =)... though we scouted another Griffin Conservatory and an exit to the treasure zone .. but got tired of dragging out this game .. started messing up in the beginning and continued...
143 - Wystan takes another hive
144 - Wystan attacks - 79 wyverns - 128 greater lizardmen and the rest .. I cast Slow .. he casts Mass Bless .. and when the lizardmen destroyed 5 behemoths through the castle wall .. I said gg...
as they say, a game for the record .. lost on the first day and the mindset was gone from there... if not for that loss .. there would have been many options and we could have had a normal run... but it came down to who exits into the treasure zone first below my castle .. there are about 10 hives in a row there =.)
Thanks for the game and good luck in the tournament!
