27.09.2010 AYMAN (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Neverminder (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 125

The start wasn't bad, 8 free elves and a Bogling with snakes. Scouting shows a road to GO Crystal, a road to the secondary on the grass for 20-49 grand, and another road blocked by horses near the Hive, but I didn't take the last rest because there was a bypass. I took two crypts, the Griffin Conservatory is revealed. I broke through to the mud, took a dungeon there. Another Griffin Conservatory is revealed. Checked both, they turned out to be doubles with Grand Elves. On the mud I take an external dwelling of Minotaurs and with a goblin a 20-unit Gnome dwelling. By the end of the week, Adela took the max crypt on the mud _ 3 grand. At home 1-6 in the Castle, in the dungeon a portal with Minotaurs.

On the second day, money grinding. Kyrre goes to the stable and to the dungeon for the book. On 122 I take the Griffin Conservatory on the mud with grand and Minotaurs + a small power level. It worked out well. On 124 Kyrre approaches the Hive, the goblins take the Gnome dwelling near home max and prepare to deliver power. On 125 upgrade of uniques, delivery, and Kyrre takes the Hive with 8 ducks and immediately the Griffin Conservatory 2 units. Kyrre stands on 4 Angels and heads towards the opponent's secondary through rough terrain. I was preparing a rush but Dima takes the double Griffin Conservatory and immediately jumps into a triple where he loses without mana. He didn't want to take auto-fight.

Thank you Dima for the game!!!!!!!

27.09.2010. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (red, random, Castle, Edric, Edric) def R55Max (blue, Tower, Torosar, Torosar) 2sm4d(3), 211.

Max took 2 rests, on the third apparently the draw was not great. And I had to push to the sawmill for over a week, then back again. Ideally I should have taken a rest, but I didn't bother. Along the way I more or less leveled up my hero, at the end of week 2 Griffins with the Castle, at the end of week 3 Angels. Took the army, and to another secondary town. Through it to the opponent, and near the castle I easily killed him, having 2x+ stat advantage.
Thanks for the game

Mar (blue, Conflux, Gelare, Shackles) def Master A (red, Rampart, Kyrr, Kyrr) SoD. Jebus Cross 123.
The layout was good; Shackles came with 70 troglodytes and Hec. Together we started clearing crypts (there were about 6 of them). I took 2 external dwellings of Magogs, built Fire Birds in the citadel, captured a couple of hives by week 2, day 1. On day 2, week 1, I revealed an external dwelling of Fire Birds and 2 Griffin Conservatories. I saved due to a bad connection. But the opponent refused to continue the game…
Thank you for the game.

09/27/2010 Legionerdv (red, swamp, Wistan) def. Lweerus (blue, Fortress, Valeska) 215 2SM4d(3)

The game went like this: I got 1 nymph, 1 hydra, 1 archer, and a couple of gnolls. No special units. I took the second-level resistance spell, then broke his shack and hydra. I bought three hives along the way, and also found a +5 weapon and a dragon shield. I arrived at his castle and defeated him.
Thanks for the game!

09/28/10 Oelm(castle, valeska, valeska) loses to Javdet(rampart, kyrre, kyrre), 123 2sm4d3

The game turned out terribly. Rome gave up a double-dealt unit and 2 ranged units, but there was a great chance to take advantage of his indecisiveness. The turning point was that on turn 113, I built barracks instead of a Guild Hall, because I decided to go for angels. At the beginning of the day, I built the barracks, and that was it – I messed up. Because of this, I had to take a single-unit consul with a book (I got 2 auto-units here, so I played for a draw). On turn 117, I captured a rampart with unredeemed elves; there was a consul and a pepper shaker. On turn 121, I misclicked, and Valeska went towards the dwarven stronghold instead of taking a tier 3 consul (this probably decided the game). On turn 122, I couldn't reach the consul, and Roman took it. And in the final battle, 3 angels decided the outcome (it was already difficult for him with magic and 4 angels, because his 50 grand units took damage from the first attack of 4 winged creatures, and then they were shot down).

Thanks for the battle, I love these games. I just made a few wrong decisions.
