14.06.2010 Tovariщ (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def The_ (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 2SM4d(3) 124.
On the first, scouting revealed that the GO was off-road, meaning a rush was necessary. On 121, I had a terrible fight in Griffin Conservatory 3, losing all the Elves and more than half the Centaurs. Through the General secondary Inferno, I run to the opponent's capital, take it, victory!
14.06.2010 Tovariщ (red, Castle, Valeska, Vistan) def The_ (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2SM4d(3) 131.
A large respawn with a sufficient amount of money buildings plus Vistan was dealt, I decide to play. On the first: Necropolis secondary, a small Dwarf dwelling. Build order: horses in the citadel. On the second: Dungeon secondary and clearing of all sorts of money buildings. As a result, by the end of the week Angels in the Castle, money built everywhere. Vistan leveled up well, there was expert Earth Magic, but there was no Slow anywhere — I picked up all the scrolls, searched all the chapels, 3 Mage Guilds and not a single Slow. On 127, I see the opponent preparing to take the Griffin Conservatory on my secondary. 131 — I break into the Dungeon, double my mana, transfer the army to snatch the Griffin Conservatory from under his nose, but I'm one step short:) The opponent attacks and something pleasant happened for me, the Angels, ready to kill my stack of Archers, get the Morale penalty.
Thanks for the games!

The first setup I botched myself, losing on 121, in the late stage there would have been chances (external Cyclops dwelling, excellent Crag Hack leveling, good stats, Speed +1 artifact, etc.), but the GO turned out to be off-road (I never found it).
The second setup — unlucky, the respawn had exactly 2,000 gold. The entire respawn was apparently eaten by a Dragon Utopia, which couldn't even be entered without Dimension Door.
Thanks for the game.
