Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly how it happened.

Good layout: nearby the castle there are 2 Griffin Conservatories and an external dwelling of Beholders behind a group of Cyclopes, wolves not built. 113 I take a Griffin Conservatory with minimal losses, losing movement, wolves, and some Goblins. Then I push through and take my native secondary, there's a Stable and I reveal 2 Griffin Conservatories. I return, kill the Cyclopes, take the external Beholder dwelling, losing Orcs and some Goblins. 117 1235 in the castle, 125 in the secondary in a fort.
Week 2: scout finds Boots of Speed at a skeleton, Medusa dwelling, Dwarf dwelling min, Medusa dwelling at the second secondary of the Stronghold, I take the secondary,
-125 the opponent got through to me with Birds. I take the artifact +2 Speed, Ring of Life, external Ogre dwelling and attack. He kills the Orcs and a few Goblins, then retreats. Next comes a 2-stack Griffin Conservatory, a 4-stack, a 6-stack Hive.
Week 3. 4-stack Hive, Stable. With a horse, 4-stack Griffin Conservatory, 12-stack Hive, Arena, 3-stack Griffin Conservatory, minimal Dragon Utopia (Shield +5 all), with Gretchin an external Angel dwelling, Shield +6
- the opponent catches me on the run-up and gets completely wrecked

Too bad it never gave me Gunnisson's Log. Reminded me of a similarly easy game with LeBron, only there it was the other way around :smile42:
Got me thinking again about banning Conservatories and Hives :)
Thanks for the game!

Gen gave his opponent the victory. He should be thanked for that. And I got this :smile18: :)
Well, as usual, thanks for...

They picked all the rests, and with each setup, it got worse and worse. The opponent decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game. I'm in shock...

On turn 111, there are 114 troglodytes in total, and a second necromancer. There's a troglodyte lair and a tree behind a group of djinn; something must have messed with my head, and after taking the troglodytes from the lair, I pushed forward and defeated 6 wyverns, leaving 52 troglodytes)))
On turn 112, I broke through to the top, where it started to snow a bit. I moved forward and encountered a group of master djinn guarding Pandora. The scout reports that the third path is blocked by a GO and archangels, and there's no way to bypass them... I already realized that I'm in trouble.
On turn 113, I wandered around a bit, didn't notice anything good, and went to surrender.
Thank you for the game. :smile28:

Confirmed. Thank you for the game.

- I gather troops, break through with minor losses without using a spellbook (4 rusty golems) and attack the enemy, who was also preparing to break through.

Thank you for the game!

Arrived just in time. Almost finished building my secondary base.
Thanks for the game and the experience.

In the first week, thanks to the Sephiroth and the marketplace, Behemoths are recruited in the Stronghold. I sacrifice the Griffins (a hundred)
In the second week, the secondary hero Necro, 2 crypts, all mines, secondary heroes of Swamp and Sopr.
-towards the end of the week, I attack Valya, who is approaching me with Angels. After trading an Angel for Lizards and others, she buys back.
-on week 3, I gather all troops, stable, and take the enemy's empty Castle. The next turn, Valya arrives after another Griffin Conservatory and attacks me in the Castle. Victory!

Thanks for the game!

That was a game. I lost a match out of nowhere: first, I grossly violated the main rule – not to let the treasure chest stray too far from the main hero in case of a potential encounter. As a result, I lost 3 angels to Gurnisson at the end of week 2. I bought off with 2, went and destroyed another outpost, and made another miscalculation: I misjudged Gurnisson's movement (a hero with 5 speed and a mount travels approximately 2/3 of the distance to Gurnisson; Gurnisson had 4 speed and a mount – I thought that even with his artifact, he wouldn't reach the castle), and he easily entered the castle. I was just short of winning the siege. Thanks for the game.

Summer season
....
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. I killed my computer's Tower on the first week, but both spawns are very sad — one tree somewhere far away in the snowdrifts. Further on, the road presumably to the orange and undefined-color computers is guarded by a horde of zombies, but they are amicably protected by a group of Efreeti at the metro exit. In the other direction, a batch of greased flies (+2 mana) and Air Elementals (imp trash), and there's nothing to do there anyway — too late for a rest on meeting, and no army. On week 2, I hit the Efreeti, capture the orange Necromancer, see a Griffin Conservatory, a tree, a stable. I dive into the metro, immediately see a shield +6, a Griffin Conservatory, and a Dragon Utopia. Bronch, having taken the Tower, turned back, so first I shake another tree (max), and only after that the Dragon Utopia. It gave Tome of Water, Cap of Fifth, Titan's Cuirass, and Boots of Speed. Shakti has Expert Water, but only 4 mana and Knowledge 3. Somehow I start jumping using the whirlpool in the starting area, + Wei captures a barbarian of undefined color, next to which is a mana well. I took 3 more Dragon Utopias and, seeing Bronch's advantage in meat, made a mistake: refused Wisdom in favor of Logistics in the last slot, even though I had Expert Fire with Frenzy and presumably +3 Speed for the first turn. The Tome of Fire was never given. On month 5, Septien with Vampires took 5 trees in 2 days for about 40 WW, but Bronch is still ahead in meat. I accepted my fate and went to die. In the final, without Berserker, no chance.
As the post-mortem revealed, +4, +3 to all stats (lacking for Alliance) and Tome of Fire were in the fifth Dragon Utopia, which the Vampires didn't reach by just a tiny bit, having gone to shake WW.
Thanks for the game.

I don't like it when the Guardian is not on the way, but I restarted everything as usual.

In the first week, no Archers or second-tier units came, but Nyczka compensated for that. I took a Shield +3, a secondary unit for Necromancer +4, and a secondary unit for Necromancer. At home, I have Horses in the Stronghold. Nyczka has Coins.

In the second week, I got a Cons-Mini on the Necromancer secondary unit, a Medusa Hut (one of the 2 out of all the money-making buildings on the Reserve), and I took a general secondary unit for the Tower from Andrey because the Guardian was not on the way. Then, on the Tower Reserve, I took the Maxi-Medusa Hut, returned to my Reserve, took the last Medusa Hut there, and went to the Main area to travel to the Treasury on the Third week. Andrey is nearby, but we don't get closer. Unfortunately, in both the second and third weeks, the Heroes in the Tavern come without Archers (thankfully, Nyczka is here).

In the third week, I'm standing in the Underground Treasury on the Tower Reserve, and Gurnisson comes within reach, so I attack and also attack from the Main area.
In the battle, I had to sacrifice the Champions for the Death Ballista, which was killing more than 10 Archers, then I shoot down Andrey's army, closing in with 122 Gr. Spears and 20+ Core Griffons.

Thanks to Andrey for the game!

Poor map, I started with 4 heroes. Since I had already used my restarts, I had to play. Due to problems with ore, I barely managed to build 1, 2, and 5 in the Castle on day 1, thanks to the mine on the snowy secondary town.
- It's a pity I didn't have time to earn money in the last turn, otherwise I would have bought 3 hippogryphs and an angel, but I didn't have enough.

I confirm. Thank you for the game and the experience!

To make the topic look better, make it a rule for yourself:
1. Always write the header in full (color, castles, heroes, template, date of victory)
2. The loser only quotes the header

Javdet (red, Inferno. Pyrrh, Pyrrh) def SEM 56 (blue, swamp, Wistan, Wistan), 2sm4d(3), 213

We played 2 games - the first one was a draw, and in the second, I managed to get ahead with the Dungeon faction. I wanted to start summoning demons from the second week, but the meat resource was severely limited. Also, there was a moment with a map bug - I was breaking through to the surface, but the path led not to my opponent, but to a Necropolis village)))

Thanks for the games.
