11.04.2016 Mori (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) win xAggressionx (red, Necropolis, Thant, Thant) Skirmish-m200 122

Ivor gets 8 Elves, on the respawn 4 Crypts, Griffin Conservatory, lots of wood and gold. I play for the opponent's surrender, sit on the respawn all week, clear Crypts, break through for gold. On 121 I break through to the secondary town, then immediately into the third town via Swordsmen and Silver Pegasi. Thanks to the gold, I built the Castle, enter the third town with 30+ Elves. The opponent sees the army, assesses his own, types gg. Thanks for the game!

13.04.2016 dobriy_ve4er (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) lose Raily (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) Jebus Cross, 114.
The draft was good, got a lot of meat from the start, saw a Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Fly Hives, on 113 took the Conservatory level one and then wanted to go by tempo, but the opponent apparently didn't get a good draw, gg thanks for the game.

09.04.2016 Sasquatch (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar, Shakti, Shakti) def Raily (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) Jebus Cross, 125.

I started playing because of the wings behind 70+ swordsmen, Dragon Fly Hives were found, but scattered all over the respawn, there were no stat-boosting artifacts at all, fought poorly in a crypt on 112. I fended off the wings, almost finished collecting the Dragon Fly Hives with cheap items, but then came the surrender - the opponent conceded on ГО.
Thanks for the game.

13.04.2016 Kruptik (blue, Tower, Solmyr) def Raily (red, Kyrre, Gunnar) 131 Jebus Cross

The layout of Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories was excellent, but due to Tower's weakness (little meat) and not digging up the Grail, I could only clear everything on week 2 (yes, yes I'm a noob). After getting 30 ducks, standing at the GO with a speed boost, the opponent wrote GG -)
thanks for the game)

04/14/2016 Mori (red, Castle, Sorcha, Luna) def xAggressionx (blue, Necropolis, Clavius, Clavius) 2sm2c-m200 132

In the first week, Mullich and Luna arrive; I move into one of the three adjacent zones, but I don't have time to build stables. In the second week, Luna, with advanced fire magic, 7 speed, and intelligence, starts breaking down the guards in the treasure room, and Mullich gets a 5k experience box. At the end of the week, I notice the opponent in the treasure room, but I don't dare attack. On turn 132, the supply cart reaches Mullich; I break through the portal to the secondary town to see where it leads. I jump through – and there's the opponent's supply cart on a Galtar. I defeat Luna, jump through the portal after Mullich, and ambush the supply cart. Thanks for the game!

15.04.2016 Caliban(Red, Tower, Nila, Nila) lose Xenofex (Blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Kyrre) Mini-nostalgia 211
Respawn was poor on objects, and on resources too. I immediately went at the comp (Stronghold) with a noob army and my whole force, but didn't take the castle; unexpectedly he had a lot of orcs, a whole 17 of them supporting birds, wolves, and goblins, plus a hero with magic. I only defeated him at the beginning of the 2nd week. The next week I snatched another castle. But I didn't have enough money, and I never managed to rebuild anything. I only built giants at the end of the third week. The giant factory was in my field of view, guarded by a horde of enchantresses, cons(axes), so I never took it (didn't even try), because both my army and magic were undeveloped at the time, and by the time I was ready, I had other plans, plus a couple of hidden Vivi nests scattered across the map, all guarded. And a complete absence of Dragon Utopias on the map I had explored. My main striking stack was only nagas from the castle; the opponent had lots of Vivi, demons, and cyclopes. Honestly, I played poorly, made mistakes, plus the poor resource and object respawn took their toll. The opponent attacked my papa and easily defeated him, then GG.

Thanks for the game)

15.04.2016 mtork (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Gunnar) def Telder54 (Blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 6lm10a 147
On the first week I scouted an external gorgon dwelling on my native respawn, two exits to the underground, immediately revealed a Dragon Utopia along the way in the underground, then scouted a Griffin Conservatory quite far away. In the castle I built levels 1-6 in the fort. On day 117 I took an external dwelling of behemoths, not too successfully - lost all the gnolls. Also Gunnar showed up at the tavern. 6 heroes total, and no money at all. The opponent also had about the same number of heroes and castles lit up. Couldn't find any passages to the computer :-)
On day 121 I break into zone 9 (where I saw the Dragon Utopia), reveal 2 more Dragon Utopias, several beehives, a +6 sword guarded by black knights. Throughout the second week I collect all of this, using Gunnar to break through shooter blocks for the beehives, not very successfully though - lost about 5 wyverns anyway :-( . On day 127 I take the revealed Conservatory with Tazar (turned out to be a level 3 one), Gunnar runs to another scouted beehive and a Pandora's Box.
At the start of the 3rd I want to split Tazar into a village so he can get ready to enter the Dragon Utopia, but I get him killed on some fish(( Gunnar took an empty Pandora's Box and finished off a level 8 beehive, ended up with 26 Wyverns total. Had to enter the Dragon Utopia with him. Turned out to be a level 2 one, significant losses included an angel and almost all the behemoths (upgraded beforehand). Only nice thing was the General's item. Then I ran to the corner treasure zone with a village (turned out to be Conflux). There I took a couple more beehives and Conservatories (2+3). On day 137 I sent Gunnar to the remaining 2 Dragon Utopias. The opponent had already started pressuring the computers, I was hoping to get control items in the Utopias and then use 2 Dimension Doors (had expert Air Magic already) to jump to the computer Castle player.
But both turned out to be junk, only nice things were a +3 All Stats necklace, a Genie's item, and Shackles. Meanwhile on the 3rd I scouted a passage to a zone adjacent to Purple's, after the Utopias I sent Gunnar there. At that time Tazar showed up at the tavern, I decided to try leveling him too and sent him with 2 hydras and behemoths towards the passage to Turquoise. On day 146 Gunnar reached the village, Air Scry revealed the opponent nearby, he ran towards the necro village. On his day 146 the opponent runs by, cuts down the scout hero and dashes off into the darkness in the other direction from the necro village. On day 147 I decide to move to the village anyway and catch Gurnisson mid-sprint. On serpents, first speed thanks to the +2 speed cloak, mass Haste, angels chop down the Firebird and the main hero. Although even without the +2 speed, the Shackles of War were equipped anyway :-)
Then we decided to have the final fight anyway, I had 8 angels and about 60 wyverns, the opponent had 60 demons, 11 angels, 4 birds, and 5 bears, stats roughly equal. It turned out interesting, but Berserk on the demon stack decided it in my favor))
Thanks for the game!
