The Miner came with two stacks of 30, 40, two native heroes and three external Troglodyte dwellings, all under guard except one.
1-1-3 I gather Troglodytes from all external dwellings and upgrade 212 Troglodytes.
1-1-4 I take a conservatory for 2 angels, -30 Troglodytes, the damn birds broke morale.
1-1-7 1-4 in the Castle, "a good start," isn't it? Started playing as if I had taken all the respawns.
1-2-2 I find a dimension door under champions and visit the library.
1-2-3 I take a conservatory for 3 angels near a Rampart secondary hero
1-2-5 I reveal fetters under 50-99 diamond golems, take them.
1-3-7 1-7 in the capital, at the native respawn it's empty, I went looking for luck on the green. There I take two more conservatories for 3 angels each, open 2 Naga Banks and 2 Dwarf Cottages on the way to the capital.
2-1-2 upgrade 5 dragons and decided to try the winter respawn, there after taking a couple of Pandora's boxes, I stumbled upon a Dragon Utopia. They gave Dragon Armor 4/4, Holy Pendant +3 to everything, and various junk. I visit the library.
Well, then double mana and off to search for Dragon Utopias and artifacts while the enemy is nowhere to be seen. I found two Dragon Utopias. Titan's Gladius, Titan's Helm, Shield +4 to everything, Cape of Abdication, Book of Fire, and the Black Orb.
Total Shakhti 38 24 17 26: 7 Black Dragons 11 Angels.
Near the last Dragon Utopia, Valka appeared 10 13 4 7: 10 Angels 180 Halberdiers 41 Swordsmen 18 Champions, apparently coming to take the Utopia. But the fearsome Miner put on the Cape of Abdication and the Fetters.
Wait with dragons and angels, blue also waits with everything.
Blue moves everyone except the angels forward.
The Miner blinds the angels and the dragons with angels smear all the stacks across the green battlefield. After an angel strike 11 on 10, Valeska has 3 angels left, a final lightning bolt cast by Sem -1 angel, still, and the dragons finish off the 3 angels.
An interesting game. Thanks for the game.

I confirm.
I farmed alright, but got beat up pretty bad in the underground treasure zone (a crowd of upgraded cyclops, a horde of birds, etc.); they killed all 3 angels and kicked the rest around. There was only one Dragon Utopia in the snows, which Uran took. In principle, it wasn't all that bad; I was even superior in terms of stats, but the opponent's Earth and Air books + shackles decided it.
Thanks for the game!

The bears were setting up in the castle. Alamar got land and intelligence, and with 35 archers from the secondary hero on the second week, he would have dominated with the 2nd hero, but Dmitry decided not to continue.

Thanks for the game.

We had an interesting game. Thanks for the game.

Confirmed, it happened. Dimensional Door and Dragon Utopias decided the course of the duel..:smile14:

OUTLAW (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Dekontaminator (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2SM4d(3), 1-1-3
Thanks for the game.

No elves were brought. Only 37 Centaurs. The road was blocked until 99 marks and until 20 Wyverns. I found no detours, although I broke through a few smaller blocks. And at 113, 16 Wyverns with an upgraded stack sent the boots, which I managed to collect, to where they belong.)))
Sorry for the messed up layout. Thanks for the game and the experience.

Thanks for this game as well ))

In the second game, Kyrre spotted Shakhti on an angel on the neighboring respawn at 126, along with a scout hero with power, broke through to them, but turned out not to be quite so fleet-footed (fell just short of both). Despite her assurances that she had no evil intentions and was just strolling around, they somehow didn't believe her.)))
Thanks for the games and the experience.

Dreamcatcher (Blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def SEM_56 (Coarse, Tower, Daremif, Daremif) 2-1-1. 2sm4d(3)

Slow and steady development. On the first week, I focused on cows and sprites in the castle. On the second week, I built a castle and recruited hydras. On the third week, I took a small group of sprites behind cerberuses. On the fourth week, I had two stacks of 4+1 angels. Towards the end of the month, I invaded my opponent through a gate with 10-19 gold dragons. I managed to snatch a scattered army from him through several heroes. My opponent also had 5 angels at that time, and another stack. I arrived just in time.
Thank you for the game!

Yes, I confirm that happened. There were 5 cans, I scouted them, and if I had collected more, I would have had over 10 angels... But as it was, Tazar came out and killed my scattered army.
Thanks for the game, it could have been different if I had another 3 days; I would have collected all the angels...

Something didn't work out this time; I used all the restarts. Although, I could have played better; there were two secondary Phoenixes that I didn't take in the first week, even though I could have. 3 heroes at the end of the first week is not good at all. And again, they started playing at night, and as experience shows, my brain doesn't work well after 0:00.

Thanks for the game!

I used to play, but I was terrible at it... :)

Max 12 (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Sem-56 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3), 225. The opponent had all the advantages to win... home secondary skill, Dragon. But I was luckier. Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

Confirmed, the opponent holed up in the castle and, using Chain Lightning and Elves, defeated my troops. I lost a lot when I killed 99 Scorpios without slowdown and magic, losing 50 archers and 2 champions. I didn't have enough money to buy all the troops, and I paid the price... :smile35: :smile35: :smile35: :smile34: :smile27:

Everything mentioned above has been taken into account.
:smile19: :smile19: :smile19:
Good luck.

We started without restarts. On day 1, I saw 3 paths leading from the Castle, one of which later split into two more. There was a Conservatory near the Castle, and a lot of gold. It was playable.

I forgot to turn on the program for automatic save backups, so I'm writing this from memory.
The result of the first week: 1-6 in the Castle, a hidden stash of Dwarves, a secondary Dungeon + native secondary Castle + Necropolis. Sergey still had only 1 Castle until the end of the game.
The result of the second week: Dragons in the capital, 1-6 in the Castle in the secondary Castle. I didn't manage to take the hidden stash of Dragons due to chaotic log management. Oh yes, I also lost almost half of my Archers in a Naga Bank with 6x5 Nagas somewhere on 1-2-2, and the upgraded stack got demoralized.
Sergey also had a good time, I saw, his stats were growing more or less steadily, and he had enough money. I saw a hidden stash of Wyverns in a swamp, which he took on the second week, I think (and there was another secondary stash of Wyverns not far from his capital).
On the third week, Kyrre, with expert-level slowness but a strength of only 1, started to get slow and run back and forth, switching to Dungeon to double his mana. In the end, he decided to take a +4 Strength breastplate. He took the breastplate, but didn't accumulate enough mana. And then he went to the Conservatory. In total, he gathered 10 Angels from 4 Conservatories. The plan was to take a +5 sword for everything, but on 1-3-4, after breaking the defense of 50 Champions, Tazar arrived. He didn't manage to take the Castle (he was 1 tile short, Sergey lamented that he had entered the viewing range for no reason, and I was glad that I hadn't finished my turn and moved 1 hero, on whom Tazar spent 1 movement point :)).

On 1-3-5, Kyrre runs to Dungeon, where he doubles his mana, and then to the capital. Kyrre attacks.

Kyrre level 15. 6-12-7-80 (mana)
10 Angels + 3 Dragons + 15 Unicorns + 23 Dryads + 35 Pegasuses + 50 Elves + 68 Dwarves.
def
Tazar level 17. 9-15-3-32 (mana)
1 Angel + 45 Wyverns + 2 Hydras + 82 Lizards + 15 Flies + 12 Wasps.

Both are expert Earth mages, but only Kyrre knew about slowness.
Wait by everyone, after which Kyrre casts slowness.
Tazar, in turn, cast Stone Skin, and then Shield, and became simply impenetrable.
But the amount of meat decided everything anyway...

Thank you for the game!

Alone (red, Barbarian, DESSA, DESSA) def Sir Loi (blue, Necropolis, random, CHARNA) 2SM4D(3) 127

Used up all rests - Necromancer spawned on the surface, while I had a small central respawn point. Nevertheless, I repelled the undead and broke through to the neutral Necropolis respawn point. I took the crypt there and placed bears in the castle. In the cart, I got a shield +4. On the second day, I took a tower; there was money lying around everywhere in the snow. Towards the end of the week, an opponent broke through to my secondary base and killed the scout. I regroup and move to meet him - along the way, I got 10 experience points from the fire elementals - they gave me all the necessary skills: earth tactics, attack, and assault. But then the opponent disappeared somewhere.

Thanks for the game!

smoke_mk (blue Dungeon, Shakti, Passisa) def Князь (red Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2Sm4D(3), 122.
1-1-7 cats in the stronghold. Killing a red scout hero along the way, I take a secondary Rampart, build a stronghold in it.
1-2-2 Another scout hero with skeletons attacks the Rampart, tried to beat me with magic, didn't work!:smile42:, Then Tazar attacks 1 5 2 1: 3 wyverns, 14 lizardmen, 6 basiliks, and 4 stacks of flies with 2-3 in each. Passisa 4 2 1 1: 4 medusas, 7 Evil Eyes, 40 Troglodytes, 21 Centaurs. My learned artillery helped, I shot the wyverns, and the whole battle ended with shooting. The opponent surrendered.

smoke_mk (blue Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Князь (red Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2Sm4D(3), 131.

1-1-7 cats in the castle, scouted a conservatory for 2 angels, took two external dwellings: 1 medusas, 1 Evil Eyes.
1-2-1 took a secondary Necropolis.
1-2-4 another Necropolis secondary, income 500+1000+500
1-2-6 cleared all respawns, 12000 gold, plan to build dragons on week 3 and go beat the enemy.
1-3-1 Tazar loses all wyverns 10 pieces:eek: , and surrenders.
Thank you for the game, which didn't quite work out.
