Avern (blue, Barbarian, Gregg) def Heavy Case (red, Tower, Nella) 2sm4d (3) 117 I decided to play as Barbarians for a change, and thankfully, Blacpoint suggested how to start with them. On day 115, I reached an adjacent secondary town - Rampart, and the opponent captured it the next day. But there won't be a rematch, as strong blocks for the first week blocked half the map. I placed Rogues in the Castle, hoping to raid two hives and move to the opponent's town at the beginning of the second week. But Roman says he couldn't solve the resource problem. Thanks for the game!

Blocks of ifrits and greater minotaurs on the roads + complete lack of stones = golems in the Fortress on the first day) But I managed to place 3000 in two castles) In general, it was tough.
Thanks for the time)

Got lucky with the layout; 4 cons(3+4+3+1) on three respawns, 2 Hives lined up at the entrance to the barb secondary, on the first con in the citadel, in the barb secondary — rogues and market. On the second, I bombed Naga4, took over the Hives and went to grab the first 2 revealed cons at the opponent's respawn. I was just about to split up and finally hit the Dragon Utopia on the barb when Tyraxor popped out. Split, attacked with 11 angels, 333 skeletons, 9 cavaliers, 17 swordsmen, 47 halberdiers, 46 marksmen — 7 wyverns and 6 rogues remained in reserve... With Fireball — both have expert tactics, my Mass Slow, angels kill all the marksmen, blue ragequit.
Thanks for the game, I managed to pull off the chocolate.

It happened. External dwelling of behemoths at the respawn, TyRex came - beauty. 121 - Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels, immediately naga-bank with 3 per stack. Broke into the underground with a scout hero on angels, while papa went to the grass, where there was a beehive and a Griffin Conservatory, gave earth. Returned the angels, defeated a pandora's box with a hundred gnomes - 60 archers! Immediately upgraded them and with ease broke through another Griffin Conservatory, too bad only 2 angels. At the start of the third month found ГО off-road and a horde of nagas went down perfectly (Tyrych also got archery), 80+ crossbowmen and 40+ lizardmen tear things apart. Got out to the opponent's respawn, and there were already 11 angels and first speed, which with equal tactics meant the death of the crossbowmen in round 1. Thanks for the game.

Decided to go for a late rush, and it worked.

Yes, there was a game, a couple of silly mistakes at the end led to a defeat.

Thanks for the game!!!

Vaitmar (red, Dungeon, Arlach) def Iccce (blue, Conflux, Gelare) 2smd(3)147
He gave 8 Bone Dragons for the art and immediately capitalized on his development and troop advantage, having scouted the teleport to his opponent's location beforehand.

Thanks for the game!

Alex_R (blue Fortress, Crag Hack) def positive (red Tower, Neela) 116 2sm4d(3) SOD
We had a lot of restarts, played for a week, and then put it aside, but we didn't finish it later. We agreed to play one restart and start over. In the end, we restarted again and finished in the same first week, but already losing to the AI...
...now we'll restart again with these castles and see what happens)), and thanks for the game!

Erdam (Red, Castle, Touris, Nella) def marajan (Blue, Swamp, Bron, Bron), 2sm4d(3), 124

Only 13 archers from the start, because Christian arrived. On day 2, Touris breaks through to the Conflux respawn, on day 4 Nella reaches the Castle respawn. After talking to Alagar, Nella learned Lightning Bolt and Basic Water Magic. At home, cavalry in the citadel, in the Conflux a town hall, in secondary towns marketplaces. By week 2, upgraded mausoleum, cavalry upgrade, breakthrough to the opponent's respawn along the road (GO off-road) and GG. Thanks to Marat for the game! :)

I confirm and congratulate!

Redwhait (red swamp Tazar) vs. Dubrovin Pavel (blue, Castle, Vala) 2sm4d(3) 144

My opponent gave up the red swamp, for which I thank him.
After all the resets, a large respawn was dealt, but there's little money on it — 2 external dwellings of Gnoll Horde (max) for 10-19 gr, Efreet dwelling, Viv, Griffin Conservatory mini.
Secondary Barb for 20-49 griffins and herbs for 20-49 Grand Elves on the first day didn't go anywhere, I farmed my respawn and set up Viv in the castle.
On the second day, I immediately take the Dwarf dwelling for 15, bring up my army, attack the Efreets — there are 12 of them, losses mostly from Fire Shield((( next 10 Viv, 6 Wasps, 1+1 gr of flies and single Gnolls enter the Horde's Hive, and it's max, it came out with 4 Vivs, so +12. Then with 16 Vivs and single Gnolls, Griffin Conservatory mini with Vivs and an Angel, we take the mini secondary Barb — there are 2 mini Dwarf dwellings, a Hive for 8 Vivs, and I set up Hydras
and I burn a Teleport into the treasure zone, swamp, which is good.
At the start of the third, I send Demer into the Teleport, he burns a Cloak +2 to speed behind a Water Horde, and Taz takes it. Then 86 Swordsmen + 26 Crusaders fall with the loss of 1 Snake, and in the Grave, they give Boots to my Pathfinder and Logue. Then I take a Hive for 6 Vivs, Titan's Sword for 30 gr with Nagas, Shield +5 behind a Frozen Horde, Shackles, and a Hive guarded by under 50 Wyverns, and I break through home.
I go into another treasure zone — there's a Chest with 15000 gold for 100 Ogres, a Ring of Haste for 60 gold, and for 73 gr Ruhs, I take Angel Wings, nothing else significant.
I break through into the secondary Barb, fly into the next treasure zone — there's a Dragon Utopia right away, a tier 3 one gave: Book of Fire, Breastplate for +4 attack and defense, Titan's Helm, +2 HP, and a Chest nearby with 15000 gold, I go down.
On this day, Vala attacks. In terms of parameters, I'm 2 times stronger in meat advantage, but her points are over 150 — I should have feared strong magic, but she only has Mass Haste, here the +3 to speed decided it, plus I cast Mass Slow in time and managed to neutralize under 40 Vivs, I have slightly more than 50. After a tough fight, Vala couldn't withstand the Netesk, and my opponent capitulated.

Thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game!

Spawned at the top, life is good... With the first Lich in the Citadel, hiding the Dracos, broke through to the secondary Dungeon zone, on the swamp :). Bought a Vampire's Cowl for 10k gold, churned out 400+ Skeletons by the start of the third week, peeked into the treasure zone in the metro and gave up on the swamp treasure zone, which I had revealed as early as the first week. There, compactly 3-4 hives — from there about 24 Wyverns, Utopia 3 — gave a blue cap. Finally, Shakti reached the adjacent zone of the Castle revealed by the scouting overview, waited a day — upon his invasion of my respawn, he also grabbed a hive along the way — attacked. With Fireball — after demonstrating a blast on 7 Angels — Reds declared GG and thanked for the game.
Thanks for the game!

It happened; I made several annoying mistakes during the game: I captured 3 secondary dwellings, but took my own last (on the third, though if I'd known it was mine, I would have taken it on the first); I took a scholar - they gave me scouting (how many times have I sworn not to take them); horses didn't spawn on the first (there was only 1 pile of wood, no more anywhere else). I decided not to collect angels and ducks, as I wouldn't have had time to use them. Next moment - at the Conflux secondary respawn there were 3 phoenix external dwellings; I took two almost without losses, but took the third like a fool - lost a dozen crusaders (the guards before the external dwelling wiped out my tank). I intended to build birds, but messed up and forgot to put up the next building (got distracted chatting on ICQ) and ultimately didn't manage to build them by the 7th day. Nevertheless, at 141 I had 11 phoenixes (and if I had built them, there would be 18), 180 marksmen (2 external dwellings, double damage over 1000 in a straight line), 10 champs, 30 crusaders, 50 griffins, 1 angel; I break into the castle closer to the treasure zone, only experience in Pandoras, took 2 Dragon Utopia: sword+5 for all (but already had +4 attack, meaning from the 2 Dragon Utopia I only got +1 attack +5 defense, and that's it, no spellbooks, nothing useful in battle at all). I should have ignored the treasure zone and hit ГО with 110 minotaurs and gone to visit the opponent; maybe then he wouldn't have had time to get a teapot, shield +3/+3, earth book, fire book (I needed that for my phoenixes), upgrade bears, etc. In short, hesitation is akin to death.
I will take these mistakes into account.
Thanks for the game!
