Pit for LM (red, Necropolis, random Straker, Izra) def Captain (blue, Fortress, Valeska, Aislinn), 126, 2sm4d(3).

Confirmed. The native respawn was divided by a mountain – both mines were there, and I suspect all the gold was where we weren't.
But I immediately broke through to the Necropolis and Aislinn immediately got an expert Necromancer.
In the final, there turned out to be an equal number of skeletons.
But the Necropolis turned out to be bad; the exit from it didn't lead to Pit's respawn (he wanted to rush at 121), and then Pit found a quick passage to me.
Thanks for the game!

Mizrael(Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def Gomunguls(red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 126

Dropped into the basement, the only road to the GO. First day - gnome dwelling with 15 per stack, expert necromancy immediately - hammering the bony ones. The respawn is small, consumed in under a week. Broke through the subway to the grass, and there's a horde of archers... building magic, there's Haste, Arrow, Slow - excellent. Buy Synka, give her the book and march to teach Dad. By the end of the week, barely scraped together enough stone for Liches, without a Citadel, stuck in +6 Skeletons out of spite.
121 - a wagonload of Skeletons with Haste takes out 75 Archers with a large stack.
122 - I scout a piece of red's respawn with the View, see a Wood mine, a Mana Spring, and a Gnome dwelling. Decided to march not on the road, but through these goodies.
123 - Dessa attacks, 23 Orcs, 6 Birds, almost a hundred Goblins, and 30 Dogs. 150 Greater Bony ones and a horde of plain ones with Haste had a good fight. Dessa runs away, leaving Gosha 94 Greater Skeletons.
124 - scouts grabbed secondary Conflux, the home delivers the remains of Skeletons and Liches.
125 - Gosha is a day away from the Barbarian capital. Word of surrender comes; checked later, right on 126 he was reaching the Castle.
Thanks for the game.

Mizrael(Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def Gomunguls(red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 126

Confirmed.
The distribution was excellent! Everything seems fine with the gold. In the first week, I built Monsters in the Stronghold. A few Goblin ambushes. I got boots and built a stable right next to it. Overall, it's great... I was planning to break through to the Dungeon for the secondary town, but then my second hero showed up, and I saw that the enemy was already on my territory... I bought a few things and thought I could handle it... (this was the fatal mistake that cost me the game). I planned to also clear the Medusa lair and earn some money to buy out all the troops (about half the army was still in the city) and also gain some experience... but I attacked the enemy... I was weaker in terms of stats, and my magic was terrible... The enemy cast Haste on the Skeleton group, and from the second turn, they quickly wiped out all the Orcs. Another problem was that I couldn't get close to them; the terrain in the battle turned out to be unfavorable, and all the Warriors couldn't reach the Skeletons... We fought for a while, but there were still a lot of Skeletons, so I decided to retreat... I had no money... I decided to surrender!

Thank you for the game!!!

Well, since Pit seems to have added the games, I will add mine as well, just in case:

SEM_56 (red, Castle, Valenska, Valenska) def Headache (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2SM4d(3), 211
It was a long match, my opponent didn't let me level up my hero and cast spells (damn logistician), but even with 70 grand artifacts and a golden bow, Kirr fell to the hands of Valky, thanks for the intense battle!!!

It was a long match, my opponent didn't let me level up my hero and kept casting spells (damn logistician), but even with 70 grand artifacts and a golden bow, Kirr fell to Valerka. Thanks for the intense battle!!!

Confirmed.

Javdet (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Redwhait (red, Barbarian, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 2SM4d(3), 121

Overview from the start shows 2 stacks of Centaurs and the absence of crystals. Then I discovered a pile and thought of defending it without roads, but I ended up in a dead end and from there went to a Conflux dwelling without roads. Both roads are unexplored; I eventually find a pile of the needed resource behind 3 Medusas, stumble upon a max-level Crypt +5000, meaning there's money for a second front. I run along the road and encounter Crag Hack already with an Angel. On turn 121, I defeated Kyrre in the castle and 46 gr Centaurs, 7 Elves; the wood and creatures easily withstood the hasty onslaught.

Thanks for the game.

The catapult dealt very little damage and couldn't break through the castle.

Javdet (blue, Conflux, random, Labetha) def Decontaminator (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2SM4d(3), 133

Interesting game. I build a Griffin Conservatory and a Pandora's Box for Manticores, ГО Pit Lords, there is a Well, but as it turned out I could only reach it on the second week and even then with the loss of phoenixes. In short, I decide to try my luck with the mage. Labetha isn't friends with speed, but I manage to clear the respawn somehow. On the second week, two more Griffin Conservatories are found, totaling 5 angels, but money is tight, half the town isn't bought. On day 131 at the mill, the needed crystals for Expert Earth Magic miraculously arrive - there's Chain Lightning and Town Portal. It's clear this is a late rush, but I have 67 mana left and I'm on the elf's territory. Kirr meets me with 24 Dendroids and weekly growths of the rest, plus Pegasi possibly from the Pandora's Box. The opponent sets up very inconveniently for me - the ranged units in the center, with Grand Elves and Pegasi next to them, Kirr doesn't have Tactics to my luck. I hesitated for a long time about using Chain Lightning on the Grand Elves because the resistance from the unicorns left me no chance. The spell cast went through, and after that it was easier; the mage wins with a slight advantage, but perhaps Kirr's decision to spend mana on a less effective Lightning Bolt instead of Haste predetermined the outcome, close combat would have been tough for me.

Thanks for the interesting game.

Javdet (blue, Conflux, random, Labetha) def Decontaminator (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2SM4d(3), 133
Thank you for the interesting game.

On the first week, Kyrre with golems and scouts cleared her big respawn hoping for external dwellings and other goodies. Crag Hack on uniques cleared the path to the secondary mines. Eventually, the uniques ended up in the castle, and there was an external dwelling for wood. At the start of the second week, Crag Hack died (I was too lazy to bring him growth). On the second week, Kyrre went through her respawn in a second loop(((. The Pandora's Box gave 20 silver, 2 nagabanks, and a medusa generator, a hat of +4 knowledge, a breastplate of +3 attack. I built dragons. On day 132, Labetha broke through the GO. Kyrre, having bought almost all the troops, attacked and was defeated.
Thank you for the game and the experience.

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valeska, Crag Hack) def Drunkenstein (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.5.

On the first week - secondary Stronghold, losing 10+ Archers on Water elementals with a Greyshen stack, 20-49 Marksmen. There is an external dwelling of Cavaliers guarded by 100-249 Ogres, guarding a Club +5. Glad to see a huge number of Cons on the respawn of Stronghold. Cons in Stronghold. Took Chain Mail +4, Shield +3, Ring Mail +1 to all.

On the second week - secondary Tower, Medusa dwelling at 8, Pathfinding not given, so I don't approach the Cons yet. Saw a Medusa dwelling on a neighboring spawn off-road, decided to go to it. There I see Kyrre with 10-19 Elves and 20-49 Centaurs, I attack, chase them away, take the Medusa dwelling, stay at the external dwelling of Cavaliers, wait for the start of the week.

On the third week - I take the external dwelling of Cavaliers, 6 Cons at the Stronghold secondary (got 9 Angels total from them, only minimums and a few Twos), break the GO (20-49 Dendroids), but don't reach 1.3.7. and at 1.4.1. I take the opponent's empty Castle. I didn't chase after Kyrre, took the secondary, Kyrre comes out on her own, I attack, kill.

Thanks to my opponent for the game!
