Vatya (blue, Castle, Valya, Cieleka) def CrazyDuck (red, Dungeon, Miner) smka 123

The stable under the home, built archers and Cieleka stopped me from the last res. On 114 I realize there's simply nowhere to go, because both passages to the portals to the secondaries are blocked by 10-19 gr pegasi and 50-99 gr orcs. There are simply no resources, no money, I barely stuck horses in the fort. On 121, I don't even have money to buy 9 miserable arbs, 4 heroes are nervously smoking near the teleports!! But!!! there's Cieleka with oil!!!

On 121, barely (lucky it didn't come to "F***ING MORALE") I took a mini-gnomish. Bought more, and immediately I take a naga dwelling on 4. Same deal, f***ing morale leads to a throw. Thankfully I managed to crawl out (towards the end arbs went into melee against nagas), got a bit of money, full buy, upgrade of the miserable 4 horses in the stable and go for a Griffin Conservatory two. The Conservatory fell much easier, champion speed gives its advantages.

I broke through 18 pegasi for the ramp secondary, broke through 55 orcs for the double, sent horses to collect money. But on 123, cocky Miner shows up. Cieleka is just sitting on the speed boost in the center of the respawn on an angel. I gather troops into a stack, stop by a well on the way and attack.
Army-wise, I have worthwile: 25 arbs, 2 angels and 4 horses. Opp has 30+ eyes, 100+ trogs, 6 medusas, 6 earth elementals and 6 minos. This battle really wore me out... Opp on tactics blocked the eye, speed-buffed trogs killed all my archers (a bad trade for me). Mana is 40, shoots for 40 and is covered from all sides. Plus the terrain is such that you can barely squeeze through. I already thought I'd have to buy back on 1-2 angels (they barely entered the fight, from wait they would take out and climb back + healing) but opp blocked his main damage stack of 6 minos with tactics so that they could barely get out. In the end we played it out to where I take out 5 minos with arrows+angels and block the eye. GG

Vatya (blue, Castle, Valya) def Rockmashine (red, Citadel, Crag, Mullich) smka 122

On 111 I was just flabbergasted!!! Of course we play!!! Further it showed that neither of us has any money on the map at all, again barely got horses in the fort, but the archer hovel and 3 Griffin Conservatories warmed the soul. After discussing with opp, I sent him my screenshot, after which it was an unequivocal GG because there's nothing to counter with at all and none was foreseen in the future. I was taking any Conservatory 2-3 to start with, and then whatever.
