XREH (red, humans, Rutger) lost to Yaughen (blue, humans, Iris), week 2 month 2, Rainbow template.
Dwells from start 2,4. Decided to make Iris the main hero. Caught machines with 1 level-up and things got easier after that. Adjacents weren't great; broke into zone 3 on week 3, by week 4 I was ready for the treasure zone, but couldn't find it. Hit every teleport in sight. In one, I ran into hundreds of red women and asked for a load. Realized there was an entrance to the treasure zone, but I wouldn't have managed since there were no resurrections in the guild (thank God there was regen). Later found the second treasure zone - 2 max Dragon Utopia (but nothing worthwhile), though they gave resurrections :). Saw Rutger, who was also looking for the treasure zone and decided to portal home. Returned after two days, but by then Rutger had popped into this same treasure zone and stole several artifacts, a Temple and a tree right from under my nose, then portaled home. I went to the mentor hoping to dump the machines, which didn't work. Felt that Rutger had figured out where the entrance to the second treasure zone was, so I didn't waste time on the mentor, jumped home and headed for treasure zone №2. Just as I stepped into it, Rutger was right there. In the treasure zone, I managed to communize a Dragon Utopia (max and again nothing useful). Took the library; didn't even have time to raise stats before Rutger attacked the next day.
I won't describe the finale—for those interested http://zalil.ru/34482147
Thanks for an exciting game.
Hard start, played without machines, quickly leveled up retribution and could finally break through things with white archers. On the second [week] sold everything but placed angels since I found regen. They were set up without a Castle, but that's better than nothing. Dug around some more in adjacents, upgraded angels and started hitting passages. Next week brought in some meat and ran to look for the treasure zone. Ran searching for three weeks, and when I found it, I was too late—Iris had already cleared almost everything there. Only a Temple was left for me, in which only the quiver was useful. Portaled home and already knew where to look for the second treasure zone; Rutger simply excluded all other passages, and this is on Rainbow. When I reached it, Iris had beaten me again; I was just bewildered. Took the mentor, got OU and decided to attack, although the difference in stats was huge. Rutger with Obrazla lost twice in stats to Iris without Obrazla. What can you say if instead of a breastplate and hat there were nothing better than experience capes, and a staff of sar-issy in hand...
Whoever ate the treasure zone won.
Thanks for the game.

God Elemental (Orcs, Keigan) lost to XREH (Demons, Grol), 2-3-2, Rainbow. 2-3-5 dwells
Restarted until we got this layout, decided to take Grol. At first struggled a bit by taking too many bases, but after quickly leveling up bdp and the tent things improved. Quickly broke into the 3rd zone; there with 70 dogs and privs I realized almost nothing was scary anymore. Hit everything I saw. Started looking for the treasure zone, but after breaking a couple of passages came out in an adjacent close to home. Got smashed, took teleport, missing darkness and went into ГО. Passed through quickly and captured an unprepared Castle with Keigan on board. Keigan flew to secondary. Brought Kaspar to the orc castle, while I went to look for the treasure zone. Found it unexpectedly fast and started clearing. Meanwhile Keigan retook his castle losing a few fighters. He came toward me through ГО. While Keigan was crawling there, I managed to make some money and gathered artifacts. A day before Keigan arrived, I portaled home; he noticed and turned around. Having bought meat, I went after him and caught up in 2 days. Put on bracers, attacked and sent him to the heavens.
Thanks for the game!)
