23.04.2013. Roger-ua (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Rockmachine (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar). 2sm4d(3) 132.
It spawned 4 roads — one to the GO and to 3 secondary towns. External dwellings of birds and wolves. In the first days I find boots and gloves. One secondary town is native. In the first week I build 1235 in the main castle and 125 in the native secondary. In week 2, 60 gr wolves under 20 birds, I clear the treasure zone, take 2 beehives, 8+4 wyverns. In week 2 I build 123457 in the main castle and 1257 in the secondary. I take the max Griffin Conservatory. On day 131 I break through the GO, 3 crystal, take another beehive. On day 132 I take the opponent's capital. The opponent surrendered. With such a layout I think even a newcomer like me and Maretti would not have held out. It should have spawned more evenly. I apologize for the layout, Rockmachine.
Thank you for the game.
I confirm. I enjoyed playing with such a newcomer)

25.04.2013 Roger-ua (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Rockmachine (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3),232.
It spawned without external dwellings, revealing the opponent's external dwelling of hydras in the first days. In the first week I built 12345 in the castle. On day 117 I took a secondary town, Conflux. The same day the opponent came to the rear, killing the scout hero and breaking the chain with a meatier army. I stayed in the secondary town, built a Stronghold, bought fairies and air elementals. The opponent, having gained growth, went to my respawn. I bought what I could in the capital, left a scout hero for defense behind the castle walls. Crag Hack recaptured a sword +2,+2, took an external dwelling of psychos, which strengthened him. Crag Hack's stats became 12 6 1 1, versus 1 6 1 2, but there was too little meat to break through. Caught in such a situation for the first time, I didn't know what to do next. Crag Hack collected and recaptured resources, looked for another road to return to the native respawn. Tazar did not attack the capital, instead capturing my secondary Conflux at the start of week 3. By the end of week 2 I had 3 heroes, the opponent had 2. In week 3 I built bears. Realizing the futility of Crag Hack remaining far from the capital, I broke through with losses 20+ hell spawn for a vessel +2 life and crashed on neutrals on the way home. In week 5, Tazar's stats sharply increased, and the opponent started asking if he could use the Speaker's Hat without building a guild. Having bought all the troops, Crag Hack fled into the treasure zone to seek his chances. In the underground treasure zone, he immediately revealed a Dragon Utopia. After breaking through it, he got a chalice +6 to all and a shield +4 to all. Crag Hack's stats became higher than Tazik's; the lack of mana and the possible Speaker's Hat were troubling. But the 7-day counter was already ticking — since Tazik had taken the last secondary town. Having gathered 2 beehives for 18 wyverns and visited the library, I had to return. Tazar fled, probably for an artifact. Crag Hack managed to return to his native capital at the end of week 6, upgrading the remaining 3 bears and replenishing mana. In week 7, Tazar arrived and attacked the capital; the final battle took place: Crag Hack 29 20 17 16 (5 Behemoths, 18 wyverns, 19 birds, 38 ogres, 70 orc chieftains, 108 gr wolves, 93 goblins, tent) 160 mana vs Tazar 25 17 11 10 (36 wyverns, 20 gr cows, 40 gr basilisks, 77 gr lizardmen, 81 flies, 202 gnolls, fly, tent, ballista) 100 mana. Tazar cast Explosion on the birds (825 — now I noticed that apparently the +4,+4 hat was not equipped, since for Expert it should be 1125), then after casting mass Haste, the Barbarians charged into attack; after casting Blindness on the flies in the second round, the Barbarians continued the slaughter — Tazar had almost no troops left. Tazar fled, and the opponent surrendered. Replaying the Fireball, locking my troops, the result remained the same, but the battle was more (with more mana for Tazar the result could have been different) equal.
Thank you for the game.
Excellent game! - Very unconventional and therefore interesting=) in the Dragon Utopia I got a hat for level 5 magic and started flying and moving around the map. But in the end I fell for the opponent's trick=( I didn't check his stats, and didn't know he had become so strong; I thought I'd kill him without any trouble=) in the end it turned out the opposite. His stats are better than mine, plus twice as much magic. Unfortunately there were no options here, even in magic — 825 Explosion from me, 425 Lightning from the opponent, but he had about 20 of them=) thank you for the game!:smile54:
