On the first week I took a couple of miniature Griffin Conservatories and moneylenders, on the second week a Necropolis secondary hero and a Dungeon. There was also a level 2 Griffin Conservatory on the third week scouted, while dad was boosting stats running around the stat boosters, I didn't want to go into the treasure zone, because it's not worth delaying with Galthran. Broke the double ГО on turn 142, lost around 80+ wolves and a bear. Waited for my opponent in his Castle, but he couldn't defeat the Dragon Utopia.
Thanks for the game!

The game was tough. Hoping for a restart from my opponent, I played. Near my castle, there was a hidden stash of blue archers and regular archers, but my opponent, as it turned out, had a treasure trove (a hidden stash of centaurs, knights, 2 archers, elders, and pegasi). All my paths on the starting location were blocked. I managed to get to a secondary location in the Dungeon, but there was nothing to gain there... I went to another secondary location, where I met my opponent. There was no tempo in the game at all; there was nowhere to go, and my opponent, with all his forces, trapped me in the castle. At that time, the balance of power was as follows:
Tazar (3-10-5-3), 46 blue archers, 94 regular archers, 7 cows, 9 wolves, 42 blue flies;
Mephala (7-10-3-3), 89 regular archers, 21 unicorns, 23 dryads, 58 centaurs.
On turn 147, my opponent went on the offensive, but miscalculating his strength, he retreated with 1 centaur. Most of my troops remained... I launched a counterattack while my opponent, gathering the remaining troops, hoping for the best, rushed to the treasure location, where he lost after a few turns.
Thanks for the game!

Opponent took all restarts, I didn't take any of mine.
111 Visland 2 stacks, no level 2, but... Dragon with 3 stacks, Gretchen with three stacks, Mephala, Luna... Killer lineup - gotta play.
117 Got 2 secondary towns - Inferno and Rampart. 1-3,6 in Castle. On the respawn 2 Griffin Conservatories, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Naga Banks, 2 Dwarf Cottages, 2 external Gnoll dwellings, external Lizard dwelling, external Gorgon dwelling, Dragon Utopia. Opponent was less lucky. On 122 surrender message. Thanks for the game!

Basyr hasn't appeared yet, I'm waiting until the 10th, giving him a chance. Plus, another replacement is possible due to technical reasons. A lot of people have signed up for the replacement, but only Prince promised to be constantly available. So there's still a small chance to sign up.
If you're really interested, check out the links in the first post, study the rules. In the "attachments" section, you'll find instructions on how to set up online play. There are also links to the season - you can play in it, it's also a kind of tournament. If a replacement is needed, I'll contact you.
Platinum will work, yes (if it's the "The Shadow of Death" disc).

P.S. The ICQ number is strangely long.

Roads were slow, terrain rugged, I took the wood mine around 222.
Territory was huge, there were 3 Hives, 4 Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Utopia, 3 external dwellings of gremlins, an external dwelling of mages, an external dwelling of genies.
Sielle arrived immediately — a super-mage in a magic town!
Start was tough — on the only road a horde of vampire lords blocks movement, guarding the Dragon Utopia, forcing me to run through the snow, no tempo. So by 117 I could only build 1, 2, 3, 4 in the fort, but I broke out to the earth respawn. On the second (week) I took a secondary Dungeon, doubled my mana, good. Distances were enormous. I had to create 4 small combat groups for clearing territory. By week 4 I took 4 Griffin Conservatories for 8 angels. At the start of month 2, 2 Dragon Utopias with artifacts for +10 to everything and the Orb of the Firmament. While I was handling everything, the opponent captured the Dungeon, killed 4 helpers, and came to the snow, where the final battle took place: Sielle (21 18 26 21) 8 angels, 9 titans, 18 master genies, 22 crystal nagas, 40 mage genies vs. Wystan (13 12 18 12) 4 angels, 10 chaos hydras, 16 master genies, 17 mighty gorgons, 40 vampire lords.
Thanks for the game.
