Roger-ua
Roger-ua (red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Myxomoar (blue, Conflux, random, Erdamon, Pasis). 2sm4d(3).126.
We both picked 2 at 111. Shakti came with 1 stack, but on 111 took an external dwelling of minotaurs. Decided to play. Roads: 2 GO and a secondary on the grass behind 20+ elves. Broke through to the secondary via a no-road Rampart. On week 1, 12345 in Citadel. From Rampart, exits to swamp treasure zones. On the next secondary, I see the blues. I understand the game will be short. Didn't break through on week 1 to avoid a restart due to encounter. On 122, 20 minotaurs take a sword +2+2 in the swamp. On 125, I take the opponent's secondary (the one behind the elves for me). Despite the presence of angels, fire birds, and Wyverns, the opponent retreats without a fight. On 126, I take a shield +5 with a scout hero, but cannot return the army. I move Shakti to a safe distance. On his turn, the opponent writes GG.
Thanks for the game!
Confirm, overall it was all not bad, but a hundred Troglodytes and 20 minotaurs with a stat advantage would have spanked me good.
111. A spread of 5 heroes, not a single option in the folders, air not built, but 8 came with heroes + Jeddite with Troglodytes. I check the tree: I see a no-road passage to Castle-grass (the Castle itself has no garrison, which is good), a clump of mercury, an ore mine, and a passage through the elves to the opponent. GO – gr liches, also good, considering there's a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive on the native respawn.
112. Delivery of 6 air elementals and a breakthrough of Gargoyles with a gr stack into the swamp, got in fine, but further on a completely blocked road with gr uniques, turn back. Collecting freebies and setting up a chain to the grass through gr Harpies. There, on my own respawn, Shakti is wandering with a horde of Troglodytes and minotaurs, so a dwelling, trouble :(
113. I transfer troops to Ylva, so she can smash the gr Harpies, she smashes them, and since there's no garrison, Fatso moves back: there are guarded treasure chests and a shield +2 behind Fairies on the native respawn. The fight with the Harpies was extremely unpleasant, I lost almost all the Fairies, oh well, they're not a damage-dealing stack anyway.
114. Ylva takes the Castle, Fatso shakes down the chests and clumps, nothing particularly interesting, Griffins are available and can even be bought, good.
115. Shield behind the Fairies, collecting freebies, the opponent's stat advantage, and a complete lack of understanding of whom to level up on my side. Decided on Pasis, he was running around getting upgrades. The opponent's stat advantage, by the way, was organized by 2 rings +1\1. Trade resources for gold (just in case).
116. Lol, I traded 2 crystals the day before, forgetting they are needed for Psychic Elementals. Panic!!! Where to get them?! Trade back)
117. Griffins, purchase, breaking the Dragon Fly Hive, he goes to the horde, chickened out.
121. Dragon Fly Hive on 8 ducks, I pass them to break the uniques (stupid move). I suddenly realize what a bugged generation this is, just terrible: the secondary is connected by road to 2 other secondaries, which allowed the opponent to rush me through the swamp treasure zone, I didn't expect that at all, but that came later.
122. Loss of air elementals and 2 Wyverns on the uniques, facepalm... Also took a level 1 Griffin Conservatory.
123. I march Pasis to the elves on the opponent's respawn to crash, thinking I can break the 3rd road on the secondary into the swamp treasure zone.
124. Broke through the passage – there's Shakti, standing and looking at me like I'm a peasant, panic-panic, I drag Fatso to the bugged secondary on the left, where Ylva has been hanging around for 3 turns.
125. In the treasure zone, I got bled dry on Crusaders for an obelisk + a bird of wisdom, thought max 60, but there were 70+, 4 birds and an angel left, dunno what to do, don't even want to play in such conditions, so I surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

P.S.: The opponent restarted and got an absolutely unreal chocolate with 20 air elementals from the start, Alagar level 10 from the Tavern and a taken Psychic Elemental dwelling on 111, scouted gold, and 3 roads...
