Confirmed. We played for a long time, in 4 sessions. We restarted completely, if memory serves. There were some sketchy setups, like a bunch of meat, Galtran, but only one road out of a one-way portal, etc. In the end we got a playable setup. On the respawn: 2 experience stones, external dwelling of vampires, Dragon Fly Hive for the future with Grand Elves off to the side, a couple Naga banks. Not great on gold though. On week 1 I was running around on the respawn, somehow with trading I got Centaurs in the Fort. 7 heroes, Clavius level 7 with Wisdom, 150 skeletons. Also Brissa is leveling and helps out quite a bit at times. On the second I'm leveling and necromancing, kill the Castle computer, take the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, 330 skeletons. Clavius got Earth and Tactics. On 131 I take the Fortress computer. They have a Capitol there. On week 3 I take a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, take the Dungeon village in the center, mace +5, jacket +1 all. Clavius clears the home treasure zone: 3 external dwellings of ghosts (on the second I built a ghost dwelling in the castle), a couple of Zealots and 2 Dragon Fly Hives, shield +5. 2 royal Dragon Utopias. The first was a level 2 — they gave boots +2 all and cuirass +10 plus junk. The second was simply a song! A level 1, where I lost 140 skeletons and they gave: a bag of gold, arrows, a bowstring, a charm from the course :D Result week 3: Clavius level 17 + Log and Armor. 400 skeletons, Dragons, Draconians, etc. In the Castle — Angels in the castle. On week 4 I take 2 Griffin Conservatories, take a couple of villages, build a guild — it gives Town Portal and Dimension Door! I play necro. Clavius enters the Castle treasure zone. There are several Pandora's Boxes with Swordsmen — a nice stack results. External dwelling of Angels, Book of Air and Fire, a couple of Zealots. Seems fine. But the stats are nothing. Just no stat artifacts... But a lot of power, definitely many times more power and there's control, that's what we live on. Well, then a papal move. For some reason I sat in a village within reach of the opponent. Additionally, I took off the +10 jacket and forgot to put it back on, plus didn't put on the bracers. Also, I didn't unite all the meat — Dragons and Centaurs stayed at home. That's where we got hit. Stats are sad: 14, 17, 9, 10. Against 33, 31, 18, 18 + Elixir :) Well, then I attacked with Brissa with ghosts, Draconians, etc. If not for the Elixir, I would have finished him in the castle. But as it is, no chance. Thanks for the game!

24.11.2013: twaryna (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def ariputra (red, Conflux, Thunar, Deys) 117 8мм6а

We started without restarts. The respawn is small, the road is winding, Bron arrived with 4 Centaurs, 2 gold heroes, there are 2 Crypts and a Stable with an external dwelling of Elves. I decide to play, although gold is a bit low. I took the external dwelling of Elves, upgraded and went to the adjacent zone — there I revealed from the lookout a Dragon Utopia, a free dwelling, an external dwelling of Centaurs. I took the external dwelling of Centaurs and went to try to break into another adjacent zone, there was a block of 48 upgraded Golems, which kicked me out. I fought poorly. In the end I only got out with 5 Grand Elves. But I won a cape +2+2 and a Pandora's Box for 5k gold. Lots of gold, Centaurs become in the Citadel, there's gold for buying plus income 1700 per turn. On the computer's respawn a Citadel and a Griffin Conservatory are revealed. It's playable. But on 117 the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game!
