Rep1sk (Blue, Castle, Fortress) lose Seven_80 (Red, Swamp, Stronghold) JC 117

Didn't surrender anything, again. Unbelievable surrenders for the Castle.
Surrendered...

Atxgat (red, Castle, Fortress) loses to Doublew (blue, Dungeon, Tower) JC 123

The map wasn't bad; I struggled with Fortress until level 123, when they started throwing water and fire spells at me. I decided to concede. Thanks for the game!

[/U]08/24/2017 Tyranuxus(blue, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) win timbuktu(red, Fortress, Broghild, Broghild) 2sm4d(3) 117

Finally, I played with Stronghold. It was a game on SoD. I had 2 Heroes from Stronghold at the beginning of the game in the Tavern. That means I had a huge army, many Wolf Raiders. My zone was really good. Many off-road fights, but useful things like gold or dwellings. I had 2x Wolf Dwellings, 3x Goblin Dwellings, 1x Orcs, and 1x Ogre dwellings. Also, in my zone were 3x Hives and Shield +3/+3. I broke into a new zone 115, it was Tower. Close to the town was a Teleporter; I fought the guard to see what was on the other side; it was a rich area. I decided to move away after getting the Tower town, as it's hard to play with terrain penalty. I wanted to just clear 2x Dwarven Treasuries and go somewhere else. A lot of free gold around Tower, though, lovely map. I managed to do Behe + Citadel in my starting Town, but the opponent gave up. He had heavy losses or so in Crypt early on and no more restarts. I wonder how strong I would be ~122-123 after collecting all the troops. Anyway, the game was fun. GG

08/16/2017 Tyranuxus(blue, Castle, Tyris, Christian) win RitoSux(red, Castle, Beatrice, Eovacius) h3dm1 125

Game on a mirror template. Heroes were chosen after banning (same rules as for the mirror tournament), I think it's fair. The map was fun, with 2 Archer Dwellings close to the town, as well as Stables. I moved to the Stronghold area first, found a Behe Dwell, but the protection was 50+ Hell Hounds, so I didn't fight in week 1. Many heroes got Earth Magic, as there were 2 Learning Stones next to the starting town. That's why Christian was the main hero, but there were a few others, also strong ones. Very good, rich map, but that means the opponent also has a good one. That's why I wanted to open up the space, and that let me attack his main hero. He was moving to my Inferno zone with an army I could handle. So I did a preemptive attack, chained the army, and fought. A nice, fast game. :)

08/22/2017 Tyranuxus(red, Rampart, Kyrre, Tazar) win RitoSux(blue, Inferno, Cahl, Cahl) Mini-Nostalgia 135

Game on MN. Many days have passed since I played this template. Very fun, some interaction with AI and not complicated in terms of zones. We were trading for Town and Color, finally, I had Rampart + Red for which I paid around 5k Gold. Fortunately, generation gave me lots of free gold to pick up, minimum Crypt day 1, Stables, and Elves Dwell without protection. By the way, we were choosing AI's Towns, I had Dung+Castle+Necro, Rito Tower+Fortress+Stronghold. We played HotA. After collecting all Grand Elves, I moved after the Dung AI, built a Summoning Portal here, got extra Elves, and moved to the Necro area. By the way, I scouted that the dung's rich area is awesome, 4 Hives on the road, top-tier, that's where I want to go later. The Necro AI was easy, after killing him, I moved to finish the Castle AI. It was around 116, and my Kyrre was around 10/10, lucky with Artifacts, level-ups, and 2x Arenas. Tazar also got a lot of exp, he got Earth level 4 when Kyrre on level 11 was offered Water for the third time. ... Typical Kyrre. After clearing the AI, my task was to make Unicorns + Citadel and Vamps. I also had an artifact +3 Vamps/week. Unfortunately, I didn't have any Gems, so no Unicorns week 1. The next week was farming one side with my Grand Elves army, while the other was farmed with Tazar + VL. 133 I took my first top-tier item - czajnik (+6 all), the next top-tier item gave me the Earth Book, at this point, I had 5 AA's. The next day was clearing 3 more top-tier items, and finally, my hero was ~25/25. No Red Orb or Fly/DD though, but my plan was to attack Rito. He gave up the day before that though. One of the best games on MN from my side. It was fun playing.

24.08.2017 moonlyer (Red, Rampart, Kyrre) def RukaVsalate (Blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack), 6lm10a, 142

I rolled back a total of 5k for the Castle and color. A bit much, of course, but livable. I played out the surrender with a stable on the road and a good number of Centaurs (too bad no Elves, but luckily an external dwelling was found soon). A decent number of good crypts were found, which evened out the gold situation, and Kyrre leveled up — took Offense, Defense, and Air. I wanted to exit near my own Tower computer, but due to path bugs, I ended up near the orange warrior castle. The contact with the opponent happened in this very zone for the entire game. At the start of week 2, I built a Griffin Conservatory and a couple of Dragon Fly Hives. With this army, I revealed a lot of territory (my own Necropolis computer, two treasure zones with a village, and a super-treasure zone), and also captured many resources. However, because Kyrre only got Earth as the last slot, I lost a lot of troops, so I was in no hurry to rush the opponent. By the third week, the Tower was already actively being rebuilt, while I was using Town Portal to pick up treasure zones with villages. On day 142, the opponent's main hero moved into a Dragon Fly Hive in contested territory, not far from my Castle. I engaged, and due to the opponent's lack of magic and their equipped Shackles of War, a surrender followed.
Thanks for the game.

[/U]08/17/2017 Tyranuxus(blue, Conflux, Random, Grindan, Grindan) lose dawidu91(red, Conflux, Random, Labetha, Labetha) h3dm1 145

The game was going pretty well. I had Grindan and Gurnisson from the beginning, in MG there was no slow, and the Guards were mostly tanky and slow. I got Mass Slow with Grindan ASAP and broke into new zones. I found 2 more Conflux Towns and 2 Air Elemental's Dwells. I was really strong, had around 80 Storm Elementals by week 2. I felt I was stronger than Dawidu; there was nothing that could happen. I decided to move to a new zone, an open space, to see more and not let him surprise me. Unfortunately, or fortunately, on day 127, he took all my 3 Conflux Towns, including the starting town. That was a new level of play. I didn't have enough movement to attack him when he was chilling in my town. Also, the timer influenced my decisions. I didn't catch him, so the next turn, he bought all the Air Elementals and the other important units and moved back. I think I still could have won in a straight fight. On day 133 or so, he was clearing one of the zones from my side and got a TP scroll. I don't have to explain how strong it is on a mirror template. I couldn't do the same; I didn't have enough movement. Finally, after 10 more turns of my suffering, we had a fight. Obviously, I was trying before that to get something from topes, etc., but it's just impossible to farm the map as fast as you are with TP. I even got Angel Wings, so that was my last chance; maybe I could catch his army on a scout or something. Just wanted to finish my suffering, moved to the zone he was farming. I caught one scout Hero, then he attacked me. Finally. GG, I learned a lot, hope for more games like that one. :)
