No matter how much I tried to dodge it :), the opponent wanted a rematch. On day 114, Dessa got Earth and Tactics, cleared an external dwelling of medusas, but didn't take it and was right — external dwellings of manticores and minotaurs were also revealed (the minotaur one wasn't taken on the first turn). The opponent surrendered due to lack of prospects, didn't take the auto...
Thanks for the game

An external dwelling of minotaurs near the castle, and they were also in the Citadel. I made a grim blunder on the second turn, getting crushed and forgetting to buy a spellbook for Shakti — lost two days, and the visit to the second turn was called off. I was defeated on the secondary, and at the start of the third turn I went into the treasure zone, and through it reached the blue Castle's secondary. I was attacked, but managed to preserve the striking stacks. The opponent retreated, took a mini Dragon Utopia there, and with 40+ gr. minotaurs and three weeks of Dungeon growth attacked the blue scout in the Capitol. The advantage in troops and stats gave me victory.
Thanks for the game

took one rest, then everything went pretty well; there were absolutely no external dwellings for gremlins, djinns, crypts, or dwarves. At 116 the secondary was Castle, at 117 nagas in Stronghold, and 2 medusa dwellings—there was nowhere else to get money. I go down into the metro, take 22 wyverns there, bring 37 golems, 54 pokemons, 13 simple nagas, and take the Dragon Utopia; there's a helmet +6 all stats, shield +12-3, and a spellcaster's hat! I break through ГО with 85 death knights and go to the opp! captured all his castles! opp surrenders because Ivor was very far from the castles! thanks for the game

I confirm Loi's victory (there was no need to build angels; maybe then he would have put up a bit more of a fight)) he ran out of resources and had nothing to buy with)
thanks for the game.

Confirmed! Thank you!

Slava didn't play well, and after the second loss, we decided not to continue.

Shame on you, comrades, shame on you =(

AYMAN (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Terek (blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) 2sm4d(3) 213

On the first week, external dwelling of minotaurs, they are home and have a portal, secondary Rampart.

On the second week, zero money, I break through to the swamp, send a scout hero there, dad takes a tree for 6 Wyverns, checked the Griffin Conservatory max, and took the external dwelling of lions and reds.

On the third week, secondary Barbarian, but money is very tight. I take the Medusa dwelling with scout heroes, dad goes into the treasure zone. There is a Shield +5 Arena, and I went to the opponent's secondary, but after breaking through the guard of the metro, I unexpectedly encounter Mephala on the other side of the metro immediately. We traded — red killed half the elves and 5 unicorns, and Mephala fled.

I take the secondary Conflux, and on the next turn I break through home, and take the Griffin Conservatory max, and run to the Dragon Utopia in the swamp. In the end, in the middle of the fourth week, I take the pre-max Dragon Utopia (КВ, Cloak of the Damned, Boots of Resistance). Breakthrough home and to the opponent's place.

At the start of the second week, I take the opponent's capital, but it is already empty. I stay the night there, and see the opponent flying, apparently already heading to my Rampart secondary. I realized what was what, broke through with dad, used the chain, and from the Rampart secondary I attack while handcuffed, and win the fight.

Thanks for the game !!!!!!!!!!

AYMAN (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Терек (blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) 2sm4d(3) 213

On the first external dwelling of minotaurs, they have home and portal, secondary Rampart.

On the second, zero money, I break through the road to the swamp, a scout hero goes there, Papa tree on 6 Wyverns , checked Griffin Conservatory max, and took the external dwelling of lions and reds.

On the third, barbarian secondary, but money is very tight. I take the medusa dwelling with scout heroes and Papa to the treasure zone. There is a shield +5 arena, and I went to the opponent's secondary but after breaking the metro guard, I unexpectedly meet Mephala on the other side of the metro immediately. We traded - red for half the elves and 5 uniques, and Mephala ran away.
I take the Conflux secondary, and on the next turn I break through home, and take the Griffin Conservatory max, and run to the Dragon Utopia in the swamp. As a result, in the middle of the fourth I take the Dragon Utopia pre-max ( КВ, Cloak of Disavowal, Resistance Boots). Breakthrough home and to the opponent's base.

At the start of the second I take the opponent's capital, but it is already empty. I stay there overnight, and see that the opponent, seemingly with flight, is already flying to my Rampart secondary. I realize what's what, break through with Papa, chain, and from the Rampart secondary I attack in manacles, and win the battle.

Thanks for the game!!!!!!!!!!

nice start 117 1-6 in Castle! 2 slingers 1 mini-gnome dwelling! secondary(Conflux) only on 122 (a stack of crusaders wouldn't let me), next to the secondary I take gloves and rider's boots! I speed up but get caught while speeding! I run away! nothing to do, I go into the swamp, there is a max Dragon Utopia, I lose a lot of troops but take the Helm of All +6, Book of Water, and wings! I run to the opponent's secondary and there is an ambush! with shackles! thanks for the game!

Thanks for the great battle and the series of mutual mistakes!

That's what happened.
In the first week, I spawned at the top (not a great location) with 2 stacks, not a lot, but enough – 114 Trogols. On the first day, I scouted with a Rogue, and on the second day, I took Papa Nyczka Minotaurs, aiming for 50 Outlaws in total, leaving a few Neutrals behind. Then, I lost over 10 Trogols on the 50-unit Griffin map (it took too long to get around), those pesky Lizards wouldn't attack the Neutrals. Next, I took the Boots of Swiftness on the 20-unit Griffin map with Storm Hawks, moved on, and took a secondary town. On day 7, I was undecided whether to take 20-30 Gnomish Mercenaries. While I was thinking, time started ticking down, and without deploying my Eye of the Storms, I entered the Gnomish Mercenaries town. Luckily, I made it to the 20-unit town, but unfortunately, Morale triggered twice for them. Back home, I summoned Mages in the Citadel and Portal them in.

In the second week, I took a mini Gnomish Mercenaries town and a Naga Bank, broke through to the Metro map, which turned out to be my own. I took the Consul-Dwelling there, then the 15-unit Gnomish Mercenaries town and settled in a secondary town, waiting to reinforce with troops via the Chain link to 1.3.1 and then move to the Treasury. But…

On 1.3.1, Igor broke through from somewhere below via the wilderness, managing to take the Amulet of Brilliance +3+3 Morale/Luck, and he disrupted the Chain link. I followed him, but seeing a Rogue with 10-19 Pegasi below, I sacrificed 12 Eye of the Storms, 20+ Harpies, and 60+ Greater Trogols from the secondary town to my Rogue and drove Igor's Rogue away. But further on, there was another of Igor's Rogues, who still managed to provide Ivor with reinforcements. I could only dream of my own reinforcements. Igor attacks Shakti with 20 Griffin Mages, 3 Simple Mages, and about 150 Trogols, led by 3 Angels and the First Cast right. I take a risk and move forward, hoping Igor doesn't have Earth Expertise. I guess right; my Angels are slow and are blocked by Grand Angels, preventing the Griffin Mages from reaching them. In response, the Griffin Mages attack the Angels (but don't kill them), after first healing my two Mages, who then block the Grand Angels. In the second round, I cast Mass Slow, but the Griffin Mage Captains resist. As a result, the attacking force of 150 Trogols is reduced by half... We fought some more, but since I didn't have any money, I had to retreat, losing 90 Trogols and 3 Griffin Mages. However, overall, considering that I hadn't yet bought reinforcements, I'm not discouraged, as we both took significant losses (Angels, 8 Griffin Mages, more than half of the Grand Angels). Ivor kills my Rogue with 60 Trogols, 12 Eye of the Storms, and 20+ Harpies, runs away, and takes my secondary town.

Here, I made a mistake that cost me the game, because I assumed that if I built something before the end of my turn, Igor wouldn't be able to build anything there... but... to my surprise, when I was happy, with Mana and 20+ Eye of the Storms, 13 Griffin Mages, 30+ Trogols, I was going to give Ivor a good beating with 2 Angels (he managed to steal them somewhere), 2 Griffin Mages, 17 Grand Angels, 11 Vivs, and the rest... (being confident that he didn't have any Mana), not one, but several Boltcasters flew at me... my morale collapsed) I didn't retreat; I died with faith in the bright future of my descendants...

Thanks to Igor for the interesting game!

Valentin merged and waited for me to take 113, but no restart followed - gg.

numOne (red, Castle, Valeska, Christian) def Wlk777 (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 116

The distribution was weak, but Valentin miscalculated again and lost while trying to break through the respawn.

Well, thanks for the games. What a week it's been? Not a single decent game, just technical issues...

I confirm both games. Not only are the map generations terrible, but the max-level units also appear at completely inappropriate times. Thank you for the games.

24.01.2010 ReneDekart (tower, Torosar) def Dima Surmay (conflux, Luna) 134 2sm4d(3) SOD He developed quite well, acquired secondary orcs, and was already planning to deploy giants and monsters, intending to go on an expedition for Utopia, but his opponent surrendered (he miscalculated his strength and lost his army and hero). Dima, you should be more careful, as this is not the first time you have lost like this.

Despite my attempts to avoid it, my opponent wanted a rematch. On turn 114, Dessa gained a town and tactics, and I defended against a Medusa lair, but I didn't take it, which was the right decision – there were still Manticores and Minotaurs lairs nearby (the Minotaur lair wasn't taken on the first attempt). My opponent resigned due to a lack of opportunities, and I didn't take the auto-win...
Thanks for the game.

The auto-win wouldn't have helped... Twice, the map generated with only one road leading to the Guardian of the Grail, and with fast roads. On the third attempt, I didn't have any restarts left, and I was blocked by fairly strong structures. Thanks for the game.
