It happened. No money and few troops left after the plague. Although, I managed to hold out with a hidden group of monks, but they were crushed in the first week. And I lost a couple of heroes due to mouse lag.

Vigo (blue, Conflux, random, Moner, Moner) def Sir Slavcheg (red, Stronghold, Gundula, Gundula) 137, 2smd4(3)

The opponent at the same start let me play as Conflux. So I gave it a try; after all the General rests, my generation seemed fine—I got Monchick, had money, and someone to reclaim resources; on the first turn, I took my native secondary. I placed birds on the first turn just in time. On the second, I took another Castle secondary, and from the tavern, Galtran and Valk :) I spent the third turn taking everyone's same-turn money and scouting—found two Dragon Utopias and two conservatories. On the fourth, I think I'll move toward the first Dragon Utopia...

Thanks for the game.

OUTLAW(blue,Castle,Valeska,Tiraxor) def Smoke mk(red,Stronghold,Crack Hack,Crag Hack), 2SM4d(3), 1-4-6
The opponent spent all his rests.... Here in the tavern, Tiraxor was dug up with attack and tactics, archers are built - we play....
Tiraxor started leveling up quite well, picking up defense and shooting; by the end of the week, Gundula was also dug up in the tavern, but she was no longer needed... Standard development- horses at 117 in the stronghold, saved some cash on the castle and put griffins. 2 Throg's cons have been scouted
While breaking through to the secondary, I had to wipe out several ranged blocks with loss of archers, as a reward a shield+3 and an anti-moral art. Secondary - Rampart, nearby is a golden bow behind a horde of greater demons. On the 2nd week, I break through to an adjacent secondary in the swamps, there's a Dragon Utopia nearby. I smash into the Rampart and take the gold bow. On the 3rd, two cons of 30 with upgraded units are broken through. I aim for the Dragon Utopia, but power stats are weak and there's not enough meat.... At the beginning of the 4th, I buy out everyone from my own+meat from the Rampart and hit the Dragon Utopia 3-way - they gave 2 shields at +6 and +12(-3), a book of fire, and a sphere of vulnerability. Dreams of control vanished. Crag in the tavern boasted a decent attack near 25, not enough shooters for the golden bow- a visit was out of the question. I go into the underground treasure zone, there I immediately take the angels' external dwelling to my built ones, hit the opponent's scout. I see the edge of an angel's wings nearby. On the next turn Crag, miscalculating his strength, perishes on the cyclops guarding those wings.....
Thanks for the game.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def. Kluka (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.7. In the first week – Lizard Pit and 2 Gnoll Pits, on day 15, I lose 1 Vivas against Diamond Golems. I placed 1-6 without 4 in the Castle. In the second week – secondary Rampart, near-maximum Medusans, Hydras, found a Gorgon Pit. In the third week – minimum and near-minimum Hive, Gnomish Pits. In the fourth week – Golden Bow, I fight 50-99 Black Knights, take the opponent's Main Castle, chase after him, catch up, and win. Thank you, Pavel, for the game and good luck in the future!

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def. Kluka (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.7.

Yes, everything is true. I confirm.
Thank you for the game!

Alex_R (blue Castle Valeska) def gamer-kirill (red Barb Gunnar) 2sm4d(3) 2-2-5
The 4th hero was Orrin and I almost paid the price for not making him strong...
In the first week, horses were only built in the Citadel, but I decided to build Griffins and Monks.
In the second week, Capitol and 1-6 in Castle + external dwelling of Monks... I didn't bother with Angels... there was a secondary Rampart with Elves and an external dwelling of Elves.
From the third week, Valka ran around with 3 stacks (Arbalests, Elves, and Monks) + 2x2 Horses.
Found some artifacts, took another external dwelling of Monks and built Angels...
On the 3rd-4th week, my opponent broke through to the adjacent zone and took the Conservatory - I reclaimed the Golden Bow and scraped together more money, then upgraded everyone except the Horses and Pokemons. I was getting ready to visit, since Gunnar was like 8-4-2-1, while my Valka was 6-4-5-4.
On the 5th, stocked up with 5 Archangels + all the army (Grand Elves instead of Pokemons) I moved towards the Barbarian lands bypassing the ГО and while I was getting there - I saw Gunnar's stats were growing fast - I turned into a portal and started looting Treasuries, but there were no Utops, I managed to grab the Titan's Sword and the Tome of Air... Gunnar's stats grew again and he broke through the ГО - but he didn't go for my castle - he went past... then he jumped and within 3 turns caught up to me, I was looting Treasuries and used up all my mana and couldn't fly out or jump out (13 mana)...
Final Battle
Valeska level 21 30-9-17-9 (15 mana)
Leadership, Archery, Defense, Attack, Earth, Water, Wisdom Expert and Basic Pathfinding (Golden Bow, Tome of Air, and artifacts for +2 speed)
5 Archangels, 14 Champions, 52 Zealots, 78 Royal Griffins, 33 Crusaders, 64 Grand Elves, and 78 Arbalests.
Gunnarson level 18 27-20-11-10 (150 mana)
Attack, Defense, Air, Tactics, Artillery, Wisdom Expert, Earth Advanced, and Scout Basic (Tomes of Earth, Water), Orb of Vulnerability, and Angel Wings.
6 Angels, 17 Behemoths (2 castles + external dwelling!!!), 14 Cyclops Kings, 19 Thunderbirds, 19 Ogre Magi, 78 Orc Chieftains, and 4 Utops.
He advanced with Tactics and I got scared... I don't cast - I hit his 6 Angels with Archangels (-2) he responds by taking out one Archangel, casts Haste and that's it... almost no Arbalests, few Elves, and they're all covered... I Blind the Behemoths before their turn and free up the untouched Zealots - all hope is on them... they take out 18 out of 19 Thunderbirds... in the second round I cover his shooters with Archangels and cast Mass Haste, leaving 1 mana, while my opponent kills 31 Zealots out of 52 with an explosion...
then I finish off everyone except the Behemoths and scatter my shooters across the map, also restoring 37 Grand Elves with the 4 Archangels...
For some reason I didn't wait for the Haste on the Behemoths to wear off and, having completely blocked them with my infantry, I shot the Elves - removing their Blindness... they immediately killed 4 Archangels with an explosion, and took down 14 Horses themselves... then came the shooting from my side - 21 Arbalests, 37 Grand Elves, and 15 Zealots, and his resurrecting of either Angels or Behemoths... in the end I managed to shoot them down...

Alex_R (random Rampart Kirya) def MuhArt (random Castle Mulyih) 2sm4d(3) 1-4-2
We started full random - both got decent rolls ... (first time I think I played Rampart on random :D )
There were no chests, but I cleared 2 crypts and one dwarf dwelling, and the Castle got Griffins ... I blocked the Logs of Zelots with wood, didn't find the stone one - but there were plenty of both piles ...
On the second week, with 24 Grands, 6 Unicorns, and some chaff, I took down 85 Ogres with a upgraded stack for +10,000 experience... and by the end of the week + during the third week I built the Capitol + upgraded everything except Dwarves and the 4th level of magic (I didn't take secondaries, same as the opponent) I got two Hives 8+8 and another 2 Griffin Conservatories 3+4 Angels and cleared the max Naga Bank like a boss ... and with the whole army on 1-4-1 I break through the GO of choice (from the Titan horde and the Battle Unicorn army, I chose the latter) ... didn't attack the castle, because "red rush"
The opponent wasn't ready and lost a lot ... in short, I brought too much meat and on 1-4-2 after capturing the capital, victory

OUTLAW (blue, Castle, Valeska, Tyraxor) def Smoke mk (red, Stronghold, Crack Hack, Crag Hack), 2SM4d (3), 1-4-6

scorp (red, Castle, Valessa, Edric) def Alone (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 124

I was heavily distracted, so I used all my restarts. The archery towers are not built. On 113, only 7 wood and a block on the path through my own respawn of 20-49 archers (obelisk). Sir Mulich helped me break through them well. In the end, 117 cavalry in the citadel + an external dwelling of pokemon and a consulate is visible. 122, I beat her guard for 3-4 angels, scouted the gnome dwelling with 5 cavalry — it says 50-99, maybe 10, no, 15, and good thing I only lost one cavalry — at least I got some gold. 123, I took the Shield +4, broke through to the secondary hero — Mulich is ahead with 1 imp. On 124, he moves forward and sees Tazar with a small army. I buy out the army and it goes through the chain to Edric, but I decided to fight with Mulich (+2 to speed):

Mulich 2613 (3 morale, 1 luck): 4 champions, 35 unupgraded archers, 60+ pokemons, 4 swordsmen, and 10 gnolls.

Tazar 8812: 2 hydras, 2 wyverns, 40+ gnolls, 1+1 lizard

Speed decided it! My opponent conceded the victory to me.

Thanks for the game.

scorp (red, Castle, Valeska, Edrick) def Alone (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 124

Speed decided the game! My opponent handed me the victory.

Thanks for the game.

On turn 112, I lit up a scouting point/money resource and used 2 heroes to spawn gnolls. It was tough to break through to the secondary resource – there was a guard at the resource, a naga bank, and along the way, I picked up a chain +4, and a couple of blocks – in the end, I managed to get to 49 archers, and I only had 2 lives left from my starting army. As a result, I didn't get the secondary resource, but I did build a hydra and a citadel. On the second chain, I took a shield +3, and then the guests arrived. I assessed the situation – I thought I would bring in reinforcements (I only had 2 hydras from the new hero) and attack, but my plan was figured out. With half my army, I couldn't do anything, especially since the fast single-unit creatures were reducing the retaliation from the hydras, and morale was steadily increasing for the champions. I decided not to continue.
Mullich is a cheater))

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game.

Everything is correct; the unexpected attack caught him off guard. Thank you for the game.

Goodwin (red, Fortress, Tazar) def SEM_56 (blue, Castle, Valefsk) 2sm4d(3) 2-1-1

Long game.
The Dragon Utopia under the castle and the Gorgon breeding ground messed up all the plans at the start.
The ore mine was placed so awkwardly that I barely found it, and I had little desire to break through to the snow, hence a deficit of stone and gold, and the Hydra was only in the Stronghold.
On the second week it wasn't much better, but I somehow bought Hydras and broke into the underground, where I discovered a Griffin Conservatory (level 2) and a Club +5, and finally recaptured the Cow breeding ground.
On the third week, clearing the underground, taking the Conservatory, three Dragon Utopias already scouted.
I decide to take the one closer to the enemy, since there's a Well nearby, just in case.
On day 4, I visited the dragons, got the Sandals +2 All and the Book of Earth (what do I need that for, one might ask). I considered taking the Dragon Utopia near my own castle, but time was running low, it was time to leave. So I ran straight into the enemy's lair. On day 147, I reached one of the castles and trapped Valefsk there (the horses were somewhere in the Cursed Lands with Luna at that time).
I won the siege and urgently needed to save, but we agreed that the victory was mine.

Thanks for the game.
