Babek (blue, Rampart, Kir, Kir) def. Dubrovin Pavel (red, Castle, Valya, Valya) 2SM4d(3), 126 On the first two turns, there were swamps and Necropolis. A small town was captured, and a village was taken. In the main castle, there was 1-6 in the citadel +1000. In the swamp, there were villages +1000, and in the Necropolis, there was a market. On turn 124, a consulate 2 was taken (one unicorn was lost). On turn 125, the player positioned themselves to take the red player's castle. On turn 126, 6 villages and the opponent's castle were taken, with fast paths and stables. The strategy worked perfectly, and the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

Castle, Valya, Valya) 2SM4d(3), 126

Thanks for the game.

Confirmed.

In the first week - Unicorns in the Castle.

In the second week - at 10-19, Viv defeated Nyczka Angels, but in Nyczka Angels, they were all wiped out on the first turn, and there was no one left to attack them except for 5 Champions. I lost 40 Archers there. Then, the Necropolis secondary was blocked by 20-49 Wizards, so I had to go around. I took the secondary, approached the Conflux, and, having Expert Slow, I wanted to take it, but then Kir flew out of the Darkness and settled in an empty Castle.

Thank you for the game!

On turn 112, I captured a secondary town (Rampart) and at turn 122, I bought an army: ogres, dendrites, archers, rocs, dwarves, and some other units. I leveled up to level 8 and went to capture the 3rd castle, but I didn't have time, Kash surrendered. At that time, he also had a secondary town, but I wasn't aware of the details of his other actions.
Thanks for the game!)))

It was.
Thanks to Alina for the game.
2 minutes is quite extreme, of course.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Vigo (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.7.

On the first week - native secondary, placed Viv there, houses 1-6 without 4 in Castle, 2 Lizard external dwellings and 1 Gnoll.

On the second week - Stronghold secondary, which I took from Vitya, Hive.

On the third week - Dungeon secondary, Consa-Three, standing in Max Dragon Utopia on Native respawn. On the secondary respawn I took 2 Basilisk external dwellings, lose the Dungeon secondary, then take it back.

On the fourth week - taking the Utopia (Kladenets Sword, Necklace of All, Titan Armor, Boots of Resistance). In Treasury I take Min Dragon Utopia (Book of Water), break ГО (5-9 Rusts), take Vitya's empty Castle.

On the fifth week - take Necro secondary, follow Valeska's tracks, in the middle of the week it seemed that Valya is Flying, crashed, however it was only a semblance, go back to Treasury, meet her, victory.
The autopsy showed that Vitya' same respawns and Treasuries were completely bare.

Thanks to Vitya for the game!

Too bad Kostya's game didn't go well.
Thanks for the game! :)

Confirming. After turn 115, a computer player with 4 archers, each with 40 attack, came to retake my Dungeon, leaving me with 7 archers. There was no point in continuing, I thought I'd rest and try for 116, but it didn't work out, and I had to surrender:(.

Thanks!

FireToSky (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def. Oelm (red, Conflux, Ciel, Gunnar) 2sm4d(3), 213.
First week: expansion magic, black horses in the Citadel. I see a Utopia, a large group of bears. Second week: I take a secondary Rampart, place it for money, and start collecting daily tribute:)), several crypts, the territory is poor, few skeletons, about a hundred.
Third week - I take a secondary Inferno, start producing skeletons at an accelerated pace, by the end of the week I take a Utopia, lose half my army :((( 9 black horses, 18 vampires, about a hundred skeletons, and I get very useful artifacts for it: a captain's hat and boots of levitation!oO + boots of the dead and boots of speed! With the money earned, I build a dragon crypt, in the Rampart I decide to make elves, in the Inferno - demons, because there was a demon dwelling nearby!
Fourth week - I take a +6 shield, a 10% resistance cloak, I find a secondary Necropolis, oh, where was it before:( I take a Utopia, almost without losses, except for a bunch of ghosts. I get a Titan's Gladius, a Sphere of Inhibition, and some minor items...
at the end of the week I see how Gunnar breaks through the Guardian and retreats...
211 - I gather elves, demons, I make skeletons from imps and centaurs!!!
I take horses, dragons, zombies for meat:))) and liches. I run to catch Gunnar, by this time he has already learned to fly with wings and runs very fast!!!
213 - I attack the capital, Galtran 22-10-6-7 exp. magic, exp. resistance, exp. armor, exp. air, earth, extended wisdom against Gunnar 13-16-14-11, exp. earth, attack, logistics, pathfinding, wisdom, tactics and extended ranged attack. Army: 30 liches, 710 skeletons, 5 dragons, 7 horses, 27 demons, 38 elves, 60 ZOMBIES - all upgraded against 75 storm elementals, 13 wyverns, 21 water elementals, 98 FAERIES + an explosion for 1350 damage
I guessed about the opponent's explosion, on the first turn I cast earth protection, then the outcome of the battle was decided by the numerical superiority of my troops!
Thank you for the game!

FireToSky (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def Oelm (red, Conflux, Ciel, Gunnar) 2sm4d(3), 213.

Confirmed. I started playing with a road block of genies near the Hive. I decided not to restart, as if there were fewer than 50 sprites, I would have taken it with Ciel on turn 113. I miscalculated the money; on turn 114, I check the Hive – 60 sprites. Well, then there was a problem with money; it takes 5 days to reach the only secondary resource location via average roads, and the Necropolis had everything better. Once again, I'm losing because I started playing a questionable strategy, even though I had 2 restarts in reserve.

Thank you for the game.

Loi(red,ramp,Kyrre,Kyrre)def Wlk777(blue,castle,Valeska,Loinis) 2sm4d(3) 143
On the first, conflux at the Citadel, in the secondary town Conflux-1000, market, external dwelling of dwarves. On the second, fights in the Castle, external dwelling of Pegasi, in the secondary town 2000, gold mine on the corner of a snowy treasure zone, artifact for elves. On the third, Griffin Conservatories 1+3, Hive with 8 Wyverns, treasury :). On the fourth, Dragon Utopia mini-gave Helm 3/3 and junk. Bought out, rushed GO (5 rusty), on the way killed Katya with 3 angels and stormed the Castle with 4 angels, 5 green dragons, 13 unicorns, 19 dendroids, 30 Pegasi, 90+ gremlins, 45 grand elves, and 7 Wyverns. In the Capitol sat scout Grinya, mass slow, Pegasi take out 17 marksmen, elves take down 6 out of 7 champions and blue quits the game.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. after the game for fun we did a FB with the blue player's assembled troops (7 angels, 22 champions, 14 Wyverns, 30+ crusaders, 45 marksmen, 10+ pikemen) — also managed to win — the parameters were higher...

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Vigo (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.7.

On the first week - native external dwelling, Viv was placed there, houses 1-6 without 4 in Castle, 2 Lizard external dwellings and 1 Gnoll.

On the second week - Stronghold external dwelling, which I took from Vitya, Hive.

On the third week - Dungeon external dwelling, Consa-Three, standing in Max Dragon Utopia on Native respawn. On the secondary respawn I took 2 Basilisk external dwellings, lose the Dungeon external dwelling, then take it back.

On the fourth week - I take the Dragon Utopia (Kladenets Sword, Necklace of All, Titan Armor, Boots of Resistance). In Treasury I take Min Dragon Utopia (Book of Water), break ГО (5-9 Rusts), take Vitya's empty Castle.

On the fifth week - I take Necro external dwelling, follow Valeska's tracks, in the middle of the week it seemed that Valya was Flying, I crashed, however it only seemed so, go back to Treasury, meet her, victory.
The autopsy showed that Vitya's respawns and Treasuries were completely empty.

Thanks to Vitya for the game!

Confirmed. Got beaten pretty badly. Fell for the angel external dwelling, and by the time I looked around, it was too late to restart.
Thanks for the game Pash.

Alex_R (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala) def redwhait (red, Inferno, Calh, Grindan) 24?, 2sm4d(3)

Bought Mephala and immediately decided to level her. Got a native secondary skill, though from the external dwellings for two Elven spawns there was only one Pegasus.
Used double build and by the second week had monsters 1-6 in two castles, on the third week built Dragon Dwellings in the secondary town and also built a Capitol there.
On the fourth week, all three Griffin Conservatories turned out to be minis, then found another one with 2 Angels, but at least I already had Shackles of War and a Lava Shield.
My opponent had 3 secondary heroes, all different...
On the 5th week, I broke through the GO and captured the red capital and scattered in different directions — found a treasure zone near his barbarian secondary hero which a scout hero revealed with its sight, and there were 2 external dwellings of horses and one of dragons + 2 Pandora's Boxes, 2 Dragon Fly Hives and a couple of artifacts. Before the new population spawn, I took all the external dwellings, but only bought the dragons and built them in the capital as well, ending up with 7 per week added to my 6 dragons. The opponent was faster and apparently took a Dragon Utopia — so I couldn't stay long in the treasure zone and decided to delve deeper and split up.
After that treasure zone, I stopped fearing his magic parameters, since I had a pendant against Berserk and the Cloak of Rejection, plus I had Mass Haste + Mephala + huge armies, but no mobility magic, no speed artifacts, no Logistics or Pathfinding — while the opponent was teleporting... I had to chase him across the map and constantly split up from one castle to another (almost lost the capital twice — 4 minutes per turn is way too little when you have such chains every turn).
Never found the Dragon Utopia — so I couldn't upgrade the dragons, but by the 7th week I already had such massive armies, and finally in his Inferno's 4th level they gave me "Town Portal", but it basically only saved me money — since by that time I had already pushed him back to his only secondary town, having taken his capital and 2 others...
Finally, taking advantage of the fact that he was clearing another treasure zone, I approached within one turn's range of his last castle, but he also announced in chat that he was taking the last Pandora's Box and was ready to fight.
I got right up close and killed the scout hero blocking the gate, but didn't manage to attack the main hero :(.
Equipped the Shackles and the Cloak and ended the turn. He attacked, counting on his magic parameters and spells, but alas..
Mephala level 21 or 22 with Resistance, Offense, Archery, and of course Mega Armor.
Army:
About 300 Centaur Captains
212 Grand Elves
125 Silver Pegasi
38 War Dancers (and about 20 more I didn't buy)
26 Green Dragons (too bad I didn't upgrade them)
5 Angels

The opponent's 2 Angels flew in and crashed into the Elves, and the Silver Pegasi crashed into my Silver Pegasi. My turn, I cast Mass Haste and the turn didn't even reach the dragons :)

Thanks for the game!

Alex_R (Red Swamp Tazar) def redwhait (Blue Inferno Calh) 1-2-2 2sm4d(3)

1-4, 6 in the castle at home and two secondary heroes, Tazar level 7 with Offense, Earth Magic, Wisdom.
Visible external dwelling of hydras, angels, titans, a bunch of crypts, dwarf cottages, cans, and a couple of medusa huts + Cloak of the Undead King, but what to write... the opponent had a rather poor respawn, and he didn't take the rest because of an external dwelling of devils.
Thanks for the game!

Lider1 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def WLK777 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 132

On the first week, knights in the Citadel. Secondary hero has barbarians there 1000. The path to the other secondary was blocked by a group of champions guarding a Pandora's box and a prison.

On the second week, I was completely at a loss what to do. The respawn turned out to be tough. At home, there's a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive, a crypt, a Naga Bank, and nothing else on two respawns; I gave up on them and decided not to lose tempo and went to the treasure zone. And the treasure zone is bare — a Naga Bank, a brown tent, and a red key guard. At the fork, a horde of Minotaur Kings for a Cloak of Crystals, and a monolith behind a horde of Greater Basilisks. I galloped on without thinking and ended up at the opponent. I wanted to build Angels in the Citadel, but plans changed — I built Roc birds and bought out dogs and goblins from the secondary. I'm moving them up.

On day 131, without growth, I attack the opponent's main castle (Stronghold); Grindan is sitting there. The battle was very tense — 4 champions survived. The noob takes my empty native secondary. I trade all resources, buy everything up, including in the secondary (eyes, Harpies, Troglodytes). On day 133, I plan to bring reinforcements. But on day 132, Shakti attacks in the open field, and in a difficult battle I manage to win.

Thanks for the game.

After 4 restarts and 1 random encounter, I finally got a good map, with an entrance to the dungeon and some hiding spots. Without hesitation, I headed into the dungeon, and on turn 114, I found a secondary town. The situation was favorable...
But while things were going well for me, my opponent was struggling. He was surrounded by guards, and they were quite strong. On turn 116, he surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

Djede (Red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Loi (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2sm4d(3), 116

That's what happened. After all the rests, my generator was in good shape. I started pushing into the secondary area because I didn't have any crystals or gems. I cleared 15 Vasas with upgrades, thinking I could get through the 20-49 Orc Chieftains and 20-49 Gremlins, but no, the encounter with the 35 Orc Chieftains didn't go my way.
Thanks to Alina for the game!
