13.10.2012 Ayauhteotl (Blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Luna) def Hunter (Red, Conflux, Erdamon, Tanta), 8mm6a, 143

I ran out of restarts, opponent still had 2 left.
We started. The start seemed quite grim - underdark, 1 road from the castle, lots of small blocks on the road. Some
of them also morale-ing at bad times. Little gold lying around, I spread out with 4 heroes. But I go a bit further - at the fork there's an external dwelling
of minotaurs, I take it immediately, also find speed boots on the respawn behind 20-49 basilisks.
Week 1 - I kill 2 computer swamp towns, take a prison, there's Luna. Home is 1-5 in the Citadel.
Week 2 - 3 fronts, Luna, Gunnar with a small army, and a scout with minotaurs. During battles Gunnar and Luna grab and
expert Earth Magic, there's Slow. The scattered heroes find as many as 5 Griffin Conservatories and 2 Dragon Fly Hives (mini). Luna gets boots, after which she
splits into different castles for the conservatories. In the swamps I build a Wyvern. Home is Mage Guild level 4, I wanted Town Portal, didn't get it.
Week 3 - Luna collects the conservatories, 15 angels. Scout with minotaurs captures a Club+5 and Shield+4, takes several
hives, so ~25 Wyverns. With leveled Wisdom and Literacy I use them on 3 Pandora's Boxes, hoping for magic, but they give experience.
By the end of the week I break through a portal, send the scout there, and find the opponent's secondary. Opponent kills the scout and moves his
main hero there. I think about splitting Luna to the nearest castle and trying to ride there, but realize I won't make it.
Week 4 - opponent captures a secondary Rampart town, I reach it with a scout via the portal. On 143 I finally combine the army,
the scout takes the Rampart, I split Luna there, and reach Tanta. The finale.
I have ~40 gr minotaurs, ~40 Wyverns, 15 angels and gr dragonflies. He has 10 birds, ~400 skeletons, 30 Wyverns and 16 Thunderbirds.
Stats are roughly equal, but due to the troop advantage and stronger magic (Luna expert Air, Earth, Fire
and Chain Lightning for 700) I win.

Thanks for the game.

Another game in the style of "yeah I'm a dirty locker". On 111 everything seemed fine, I captured a prison with Jelaar, there's a Necromancer, a Stable right by the castle, I captured a Sword+3 for gr gargoyles... but lost almost all the fairies, and all the hats (but they were cannon fodder). Decided not to restart, and as always paid for it. Then I broke through to the Citadel computer. grabbed an Ogre external dwelling there, decided to stack them.
On 122 I went to hit the Dwarf Cottage... it was small... then I saw a Dragon Fly Hive with 20-49 Crusaders... there were 49 of them (I'm so lucky) I sacrifice all the fodder, only 100+ skeletons and 14 air elementals remain. The idea of a striking stack of Ogres is canceled... I go into the Dragon Fly Hive, fortunately it's pre-max, lose all the air elementals, spend the last mana, but I have 8 ducks, Tanta without speed... At the end of the week I decided to just go into birds because going anywhere with such an army was risky. At the end of the week the birds were successfully built in the Castle, the max Medusa dwelling helped.
On 131 I build Mage Guild 3 in case of a finale. I end up in the treasure zone, and while it's tasty, it's very costly... Slow is nowhere to be found, not in the Mage Guild, not in scrolls, there aren't even heroes with starting Slow. I captured +5 SP for 10+ Champions, they got morale and hit the skeletons, who killed them with a retaliatory strike and total -100 skeletons due to an unsuccessful attempt to resurrect them. Then another miracle in the form of 26 gr minotaurs from a Dragon Fly Hive, there I also lost skeletons and all mana, the hive was max. The other losses aren't critical, I was in a hurry to find a town to replenish mana and make another attempt to find Slow. Then the collection of hives began, a scout hero took a Dragon Fly Hive with 15 Scorpicores, sacrificed fodder on them, the hive was mini - unfortunate. At the end of the week I decided to go for the grass, but then the opponent appeared and the situation heated up... no stats, Slow was in the Citadel that I captured from the computer (turns out, my greed let me down). Before the finale I tried to buy some fodder, there were epic battles with scout heroes... I thought I could find a way out later, I killed a horde of Crusaders for an external dwelling at the end and a Pandora's Box... which was for 50 Dwarves... I took a library, killed Golems for experience, missed a Dragon Fly Hive by a couple of moves, even though I killed its guard. In the finale almost no chance, even though Luna's fodder dealt weak damage (for its fodder), but still there was too much of it, which decided the outcome.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. not a single Griffin Conservatory the whole time, except maybe one, in the very back of the respawn, where there was no reason to go at all.
