02.09.2012 Vaflya (blue, Necropolis, Isra, Galthran) def Kluka (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Crag Hack) 8xm12a 214

We managed without restarts. Initially, I planned to level both Crag Hack and Shakti, and ran each along their own path. But Shakti ran into a block of 10+ berserkers, started going around them, and only collected resources until dismissal.
On 115, I took the green Tower.
On 116, I entered a 4-way intersection and took the teal Rampart.
On 117, I took the brown Castle.
On 121, I took a village from brown, and nearby took an external dwelling of giants.
On 122, I took a neutral village in the center; next to it - the Cloak of +2+2.
On 123, I took the orange Conflux (1-4 in Fort + 2000, the orange overlord disappeared into a one-way passage) and a village from purple.
On 124, I take the purple Rampart. Mistake #1 - I hired mages in the purple town, which is why I couldn't build giants in the green Tower by the end of the week.
After that, I run into Gosha with 3 angels, 392 skeletons, I buy him off with 5 steeds. Several fights with cheap troops. Gosha runs away to the central (or corner?) respawn.
Until the end of the week, I defend against the computers.

132. Crag Hack runs into a 2nd 4-way intersection and takes a swamp town, apparently just upgraded from a village by the green computer.
134. +6 Wyverns; Pandora's Box with 45 Greater Basilisks (-1 Wyvern)
135. 10K experience (expertized Tactics and Air).
Gosha comes out to the green 4-way intersection with 6 angels already.
136. Scouts found 2 Dragon Utopias, each about a day's travel from the 2nd 4-way intersection. Crag Hack captures the library. I take them on 142 and 144: Sword +12-3, +5 all stats, +2 all stats, Necklace +3+3, КВ, КО. Mistake #2 - why did I take Fire Magic?
On 147. Took the last town from the computer.

211. Month of the Plague!!! What the hell, lost 1 unrecruited giant, and the Titan growth in 2 castles that I was counting on didn't happen. Took Boots of Speed.
212. Take Golden Bow. Upgrade giants (7 units).
213. Took the opponent's Castle and capital (Necropolis). In the Necropolis, there's a level 4 hero GM with Town Portal. Rarely do I have to regret not having Wisdom...
Mistake #3 - got so carried away taking towns from the opponent that I missed the opponent's maneuver to take one of my towns.
Mistake #4 - left a potion of +2 health near a town.
214. Gosha reaches Crag Hack, GG.

I should have gone to the other treasure zone; scouting revealed there was a Blue Dragon Utopia there. With Explosion against the opponent, I could have put up a fight.

Thanks for the game!

03.09.2012 Kluka (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def darkello (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 212

We started back on July 29, now we finished it.

We took 1 restart each and 1 for a presumed meeting.
Roads are slow.
On 111, I take external dwellings of Gnolls and Lizardmen.
On 115, I break through to the snow at the cost of Basilisks, on 117 I take a town. At home, Hydras in the Citadel.
All of week 2, I had money problems, buying the army piece by piece, but on 123 and 124, to my own surprise, I took 2 beehives (mini and maxi) without losses, and on 125 and 126 - Griffin Conservatories for 1 and 2 angels (the last one with a scout).
On 126, I come out to the wasteland near the ГО, and on 127 I catch the opponent's scout with their entire army. The terrain was on my side, and the opponent's steeds were blocked by their own ballista, allowing me to calmly deal with their grand units. The opponent runs away without an army, having killed 1 of my angels.
The path to the opponent's capital was blocked by kamikaze mages, and storming the castle itself was risky for me. So I took the Dungeon and went into the treasure zone.
In the treasure zone on 141, a mini Dragon Utopia with wings, on 142 - КЗ, on 144 a level 3 Dragon Utopia (КВ and КО), 2 empty Pandora's Boxes, a mini beehive. The only artifact for stats - a Sword +3 - was given in the first Dragon Utopia. Oh well, with Ivor our stats were roughly equal.
On 145, I finally buy a spell book. In summary - I have full control, and more meat. We exchanged capitals with the opponent; on 212, using Town Portal and Dimension Door, I catch Ivor on a single unit.

Thanks for the game!
