We played what is probably the best game in terms of content and suspense we've ever had in Heroes, and the stream viewers seemed to enjoy it too. The opponents are probably upset, but there's nothing to be done about that...

LeBron (tan, castle, Kaithlin, Ignissa) + Dirty_Player (red, rampart, Mephala, Aenin) def HellLighT (blue, necropolis, Galthran, Halon) + wowa (green, stronghold, Tyraxor) 121 JC-L

We regenned outright trash for the first game; the second generated something relatively decent. I had 2 external dwellings of angels, a horde of Dragon Fly Hives, Kostyan had an external dwelling of unicorns, a level 2 Griffin Conservatory and a max Dragon Fly Hive, plus a super-powered Aenin at level 10 from a prison (Archery, Expert Air, Expert Earth).
Both of our ГО were simple Necromancy-related ones, so overall promising. We couldn't develop a high tempo though, because it took me 4 days to reach the angel external dwellings, and the gold situation was very poor. We pooled resources to build and upgrade Archangels, and gathered 20 Wyverns with +4 Speed and +3 Health. On day 117, Kostyan breaks a ГО with my angels and collects the feathered wings. The opponents got even luckier — Goshan had 8 Dragon Fly Hives (I might be off by ±1), a village in the swamp where they were spawned. As a result, on day 116, Goshan, with 50+ Wyverns in the center, picks up 2 Dragon Utopias, frees a level 20 Halon, gets Nagas and Titans from the chests, and his stats are much higher than ours. But there's nothing to be done, so we go all-in. Kostyan takes my Archangels with Aerie, breaks a ГО, and sits in the central swamp. The next turn, Halon moves in with stats of 6 19 20 100 against our 5 6 6 100. Halon has 53 Wyverns, 2 Titans, 6 Nagas, a handful of Gargoyles and Greaves; we have 10 Archangels, 19 Wyverns, 9 Grand Elf units, and a handful of Centaurs. What happened next — watch the VOD; the fight was quite epic, though I have to admit we used some terrible offline secrets that should probably be banned in online play ;)

PS This game will be reviewed by the AK. Personally, I think we did everything right — everything that isn't banned is allowed, especially in ВТ :)
PPS The stream is quite content-rich, as it also includes Kostyan's POV and our Skype conversations; it's quite funny in places
