Lost Paradise (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Vigo (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 242
Tazar was stronger.
Thanks for the game.

Great game! For the first time in all my games, I managed to gather as many as 25 angels! But I was just unlucky. The poorest treasury, a tiny Dragon Utopia; in short, Tazar was destined to win by definition!
Thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Pavel(517) (Blue, Fortress, Wistan, Das), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.2.

In the first week, he took a secondary Castle, an Elf Outpost, a minimal Gnomish Mine, a near-maximal Necropolis, and a Chain +4 to Attack. At home, he had Unicorns in the Castle.

In the second week, he took a near-minimal Gnomish Mine and 3 Necropolises. At home, he had Dragons.

In the third week, he took a secondary Conflux and Dungeon, and a Consort for 2 Angels.

On 1.4.1, he was standing near the opponent's Fortress. On 1.4.2, Das attacked him and bravely perished....

Thanks to my namesake for the game!

Yes, that's how it was, just as he said. Thanks for the game!

Pit - for the sake of LM (blue, Rampart, Kairi, Galtran) def. Volland (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 147. First week - Galtran was bought, a secondary Dungeon was acquired, and unicorns with a Castle were built. Boots of Swiftness were scouted. Beginning of the second week - Galtran takes the Boots of Swiftness, enters the stable, and travels off-road with 6 unicorns to another secondary town on muddy terrain. The journey turned out to be long; he reached the town only on day 127, collecting 200 skeletons, but 1 unicorn died in a battle with archers. Kairi takes elves, centaurs, and pegasi and goes to the same town along the road. The road passes through a treasure - Utopia was found. By the end of the week, he saw a unicorn clearing, but there was no way to bring more troops. Third week - Galtran loots a treasure, in the Pandora's Box, he gets archers - 60 black and 40 green, all air magic, but no wisdom... He found a Vampire Cloak, took a couple of warehouses with demons, on day 137 - a Utopia with 3 black dragons, he got a Dragon Tooth Necklace, Sandals of the Saint, a Breastplate, and a Titan Sword. 142 - I take a long-noticed Utopia - 2 black dragons, Sword of Justice, and Necklace of Heavenly Bliss. Then, to the underground treasure - Ring of Speed, Shackles of War, a Utopia with 3 black dragons, a Library. I see another Utopia and want to take it, but Valeska was faster. On day 147 - the final battle: Galtran (21, 19, 30, (16)), expert in necromancy, defense, tactics, scouting, earth magic, magic resistance, advanced fire magic, and wisdom, Cloak of Negation, 800+ skeletons, 2 green dragons, 15 vampire lords, 18 unicorns, 20 silver pegasi, 12 dendroid warriors, 61 high elves against Valeska (7, 21, 11, (30)), 10 angels, 12 champions, 25 archers, 16 wyverns, 55 swordsmen, 40+ griffins, 40+ pikemen. Thank you for the game.

A win is a win, the map wasn't important, but what can you do, winners aren't judged, congratulations....

El Magnifico Sonic (Blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def. Javdet (Red, Inferno, Peer, Peer), 2sm4d (3), 132

Thank you to my opponent for the game!!!

El Magnifico Sonic (Blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Javdet (Red, Inferno, Peer, Peer), 2sm4d(3), 132

Thanks to my opponent for the game!!!

It happened before, but for future reference: it's almost impossible to play effectively in the first 2 minutes;), even though you have good potential.

Max 12 (blue, Castle, Kaitlin, Orin) def - Alone (red, Necropolis, Vedomina, Vedomina) 2Sm4D(3), 143

Overall, the game wasn't the best. In the first week, I encountered horsemen... I explored only 2 crypts, 1 gnome den, and 2 swamp respawn points. I ran around, developed, but didn't find any dragons. I only found one angel lair. On day 142, my opponent arrived with about 400 skeletons, 90 lizards, around 20 liches, vampires, and black knights. I attacked at a moment when my main hero was in the castle. I had about 100 spearmen, 15 horsemen, around 40 archers, and 30 monks. They ultimately decided the outcome of the battle.
Thank you for the game.

Max 12 (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Orrin) def - Alone (red, Necropolis, Vidomina, Vidomina) 2Sm4D(3), 143

Overall the game wasn't the best.. horses on the first week.. only opened 2 crypts.. 1 dwarf.. 2 swamp respawns.. ran around developing.. no dragons.. only one angel external dwelling... on turn 142 the opponent came.. 400+ skeletons.. 90 lizards.. about 20 liches, vampires.. black knights.. attacked at the moment when my main hero was in the castle.. had about 100 pikemen.. 15 horses.. about 40 archers.. 30 monks, they basically decided the course of the battle.
Thanks for the game.

Vidomina arrived - she is supposedly banned from expert necromancy - although it was suggested many times. The generation was fairy-tale like - both had 2 swamp secondary towns - but the opponent had an angel external dwelling which he never took. I placed horses in the stronghold, captured both secondary towns on the first week - built wyverns in one of them. On the second week I built a castle in the capital and strongholds with serpents in the secondary towns. I took an angel from the conclave and painted the vampire external dwelling. On the third week I took another 2 angels, but Vidomina leveled up very poorly - expert necromancy isn't allowed - had to level water magic and even navigation. The right skills weren't given. I gibbed all the wyrms and captured more in the max tree - went to take the Dragon Utopia. It turned out to be minimal and gave terrible rewards - sphere of antimagic, a bag of gold, and some other crap without skill upgrades. On the fourth week I go to the opponent's respawn. But the walls are covered with paloron and the ballista takes a long time to breach the entrance. In the end the shooters dominate - although they are completely undeserving of the credit (did the monk external dwelling decide it?). Correction - the opponent had 10 horsemen - I had that many too, I also had 23 wyverns.
Thanks for the game!

Third-place match in the "Seasons" tournament:
invisible (red, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Uran (blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) 131, 200%, map Outer_Limits
Andrey kindly gave me the right to choose the map and color. After discussing and analyzing the map, I realized that the Necropolis is very strong on this map due to the 3 abandoned mines, imp towns, and dwarf towns, etc. But there is one drawback that many have already mentioned - very few wood and stone, because of which, in the first week, I built stables and a Stronghold by trading on two markets. On day 2, I took a gold mine, near the Castle, built an artifact giving +2 attack, brought up liches with vampires, and took a mine with 170 troglodytes. There are already 120 skeletons. Then I passed by the imp town with 50 units, taking it along the way, defended a chain giving +4, took a crypt, then the second mine with troglodytes. With scouts, I revealed a major - a speed amulet, on day 121, Charna defended it for wood, then killed a weak unit on a centaur. There are already 250+ skeletons, I take a nagabank-minimum. I messed up badly by not taking the lower Castle with 3 diamond golems (15 skeletons and 5 zombies were not enough to finish off the last golem :(). Uran takes it the next day, upgrades air units, and starts to expand. We each killed one scout, I took the third mine, and on day 127, I build dragons in the Castle, there are already about 400 skeletons, Gosha is level 11, expert in attack, defense, logistics, magic, and basic earth. On day 131, Mephala, after defending a sword +2/+2, stood in the way of my supply route, and a weak unit killed one unit in this chain. On day 131, I kill the weak unit and attack Mephala, who has the starting army of the first week (only centaurs, 7 elves, and 9 storm riders). Andrey decided not to continue further.
Thank you for the game! On this map, the Necropolis rules!

Loi(red, castle,Valeska,Das) def Pavel(517)(blue,fortress,Broghild)2sm4d(3)213
Slow roads - it took five days to run strictly along the road, crossing half the map - the reward was a secondary base. And five more cons on two respawn points. To control two large respawn points, I constantly dismissed and hired scouts. In total, by the time of the final battle, I had 15 angels and meat from two secondary bases. With comparable troop parameters, I had more troops, so I managed to win.
Thank you for the game.
