"Newcomer-2014. Winter"

That's exactly how it went. At first, I thought about suggesting playing HL+U, but I figured it might take too much time and chose more compact templates. On the random pick, I banned all the fat castles, preparing to play Swamp against Tower or Inferno, but unexpectedly got Necropolis. At the start, I looked for tasty pickups; when I realized there were none, I gathered everything useful: Skeletons and Liches, I even grabbed some Zombies :) From the prison, I got Nagash at level 5 with Expert Necromancy; I also had Charna and Xsi, but Charna barely did any necromancy. I quickly cleared the respawn, got about 28 Wyverns, and on day 121 started Goша from the Stables towards the GO. I decided to take both GO battles: a horde of Efreets and a hundred Pit Lords, got Earth Magic there too and leveled up, sacrificed all the Necro Horses as fodder. Next along the road: a Griffin Conservatory for 3 Angels, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a prison. From prison, Deys with Loga came out and took one more Dragon Fly Hive, picked up a Red Orb, and gave it all to Goша on the last moves. The GO was close; I decided not to showboat and was right: on his turn, Crag Hack emerges and kills Nagash plus attacks the main stack. 100+ Zombies, 500+ Skeletons, 36 Wyverns, and 3 Angels allowed the Necro player to win the fight. With Crag Hack's Magic and Mass Haste, Goша would have suffered badly. My opponent did everything well; it's just that Goша reached the center 1 day earlier and found the nuts; luck :) Thanks for the game.
