Opp took all the rest 111 and 112. I took 1 1 1. Decided to try and catch the opp on a bad roll maybe, and didn't restart. So:
111 All heroes are mages in the tavern. I see an external dwelling of gnolls. Merista was given a clover from the start. And there was also a dove of luck lying around. Well, I thought, it's a lucky spawn. I decide to level Merista, which as it turned out played a decisive role thanks to +50% experience, killing 124 96 dendroid soldiers with speed 4. If I took another hero, it would have been garbage.
112 an external dwelling of bees spawns
113 secondary without guards. I'm already starting to rejoice. And I wanted to take a restart on 1 1 2 (the last one)

116 third town
121 fourth town
123 1 angel from Griffin Conservatory
124 I pile onto 96 upgraded dendroids with 60 lizardmen, 27 upgraded bees, 110 upgraded gnolls, 6 upgraded dragonflies. Seeing that the opp is already in the center of the map collecting some cool artifacts. Lost 30 gnolls, an angel, 15 bees. Got about 16000 experience with advanced Learning. Leap from level 6 to level 11. They give water, I take it. Picked up earth before that. Checked the guild - mass slow wasn't given. There was hawk eye at level 110.
125 upgraded dragonflies on 6, I think.
127 Griffin Conservatory with 1 angel
131 max beehive!
132 speed up
133 I save gold just in case
134 opp captures my fourth town. My turn: upgrade basilisks and Dragonflies. Attack. There was a shootout. Opp has bolt at 210, while I have hawk eye at 253. Lost 16 dragonflies, 25 lizardmen, and 7 basilisks.

Something like that. Generally speaking, it was my first time playing this template. I didn't find a single beehive on the map; I found the Griffin Conservatory at the end but didn't have time to get to it. The passage to the treasure zone was 1-4 sulfur drakes, while my opponent had dendroids. The Griffin Conservatory was at his respawn. Anyway, considering I made a lot of mistakes — losing the horses, accidentally upgrading horses instead of placing monks, and for some reason building a fort on day 127))))) — I played quite well for my standards. Thanks for the game, good luck in the tournament.

I didn't get enough sleep before this game for some reason (probably for extra thrill :))... So, the start. I immediately scout the external Naga dwelling, find Crag Hack in the tavern, plenty of gold – I don't take the last restart (even against a red Castle), you never know what it'll give out. On the first week, Nagas in the castle (+ defeated and bought from the external dwelling), in a secondary hero there are Wyverns in the Stronghold, Gremlins from 4 external dwellings, 3 Dragon Utopias (one next to the castle) – that's about all :(, the respawn didn't live up to expectations, although it did free Valeska at level 10 with good skills. Crag Hack takes a back seat (and will later be dismissed entirely), because breaking through a horde of Wyverns (ГО) will be much more pleasant with Expert Archery, and overall...
On the second week, deep in the respawn I find 2 Dragon Fly Hives, a Shield +5, and a second external Naga dwelling. For all this, I linger unjustifiably long in the respawn and enter the center only on day 127 :(. All hope is on Valeska the Fleet-Footed (full set of artifacts/skills for Logistics). I scout the center a bit, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Next, I capture the Cape of Speed, a few stat artifacts, a Pandora's Box with 4 Chaos Hydras (the center was generally "swampy" – tons of external Hydra dwellings and such), free Kira at level 20, whom I immediately send home (to take the home Dragon Utopias when possible). And generally the fun begins – sometime around the middle of month 3, I used up my timer (got distracted commenting, reading chat :)), for that extra thrill, so to speak. But despite my game going into "only time for 1 serious fight" mode, the home Dragon Utopias are falling one by one, and the center is being cleared bit by bit.
First contact happened on day 142 – I finally saw the second secondary hero in the center (:), running to the first one was unrealistically long), who was already taken by the opponent. Before that, I broke through the guard of a Pandora's Box/Dragon Fly Hive/Helm of +6 Knowledge, but of course that ended my turn, so all the prizes went to the red scout. I await an attack, but instead Sorsha with Archangels and Co. approaches the castle. I capture the kindly unguarded secondary hero, punish the insolent red scout, and attack the main hero for a test. It turned out there were 6 (!) Mana, so without alternatives I send everything possible from home, take one more home Dragon Utopia with Kira, and jump into a swamp secondary hero at the last second without looking (it had a Mage Guild :)). The opponent retreats.
Then began maneuvers in the vein of "catch and kill the reinforcement/Archangel", "capture the Castle and wait for the Archangels" and so on. In short, by the end of month 4, I finally caught up to Sorsha, who was seeking fortune in the swamp respawn. In the final battle against stats and meat (including Chaos Hydras built at home + Hydras from external dwellings), Berserk didn't save me, I even put on the Orb of Inhibition to be sure of casting.
By the way, there were some pretty funny moves on my part in the game (got wiped with 350+ Gremlins in a backup stack, attacked a Hydra dwelling with 1 Angel thinking it was already captured), but all of that made the game more memorable.
Thanks for the game, respect for the stream and everything else!

It was a game, thank you for playing.
On the first day I found two external dwellings of horses on different sides of my main, but quite doable in the first week, no particular issues with resources were found - I decided to play. On the second day I found another external dwelling of angels and a stable next to it.
On the fifth day I built the horses, brought them to the upper external dwelling, but when I was clearing it - I lagged badly a couple of times and lost both horses... I immediately gave all surplus to a scout hero, started speed-running with the horses to make it to the second external dwelling by the 7th day... I reached the external dwelling, but it turned out I forgot to take the troops from the scout hero, and couldn't transfer them in time before the end of the week. Result - minus five horses (two from clearing the first external dwelling, two not recruited in the first week from the second external dwelling, and minus one from the weekly growth in Castle due to the second external dwelling).
At the start of the second week I took a level 1 Griffin Conservatory which was right next to my secondary town, built a mage guild in the secondary, learned Sorsha's magic and went to clear Pandora's Boxes/Naga Banks with the goal of conjuring up money to upgrade the Portal of Glory. Because all the goodies were on the opposite side of the exit to the center - I got delayed there and entered the center late, as it turned out later - the opponent was already running rampant there by then. I captured the Swamp in the center, built a mage guild, but didn't have time to regenerate mana - I had to retreat to the side Swamp looking for a way to restore at least enough mana for the Town Portal. There I found one Dragon Utopia, and after some time a second one... The opponent headed towards my main, killing almost all the growth there (I only managed to save two Archangels by buying them back via the scout hero - Valeska had Shackles of War). I claimed the first Dragon Utopia, but it was junk, and when I went for the second - the opponent intercepted me and started dirty-camping Sorsha :)
P.S. During the Fortress Battle I was very surprised when the Berserkers went for the Titans :) At the end of the battle I wanted to cast Armageddon for style, but misjudged the turns and simply didn't make it in time :)

Just so you know, today is the 25th... I'm ready! :)

ready to play today, right now

29.07.2011 Captain (Red, random, Swamp, Bronhilda) Def Court (Blue, random, Castle, Tiraxor) Jebus 126

We played on VT. Bronhilda was my second hero; I had an external dwelling with vipers and lizards at level 1, as well as hydras.
On turn 122, I destroyed two of my own Dragon Utopia structures – it paid off.
Then the opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game

Group A, ready to play!!! Hit me up!!!

07/29/2011 Captain (Red, random, Swamp, Bronhilda) Def Court (Blue, random, Castle, Tiraqsor) Jebus 126

We played on VT. Bronhilda was my second hero, and I had a stash of Vivs, Lizards, and Hydras in my first hero.
On turn 122, I destroyed two of my own dwellings, which gave me an advantage.
Then my opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game.

That happened. I expected my opponent to have a great start, but I also had a good start: on turn 111, I had 8 heroes, and in the refuge, I got a green dragon. Tiraqsor and Bronhilda became my main heroes, and they went in different directions. Near the town, I had two dwellings with strong griffons each, and a stash of angels. The result of the first week: 2 towns, 2 horse dwellings, angels and stables were built, and Tiraqsor became my main hero.
On turn 121, I took the angel dwelling and a box for 45 gold.
On turn 122, I took dwellings with 3+2 angels, and Tiras ran towards the Guardian.
Then came a key mistake - I was used to playing with experience, so I didn't upgrade the angels. The Guardian, in the form of a pack of Archons, dealt some damage (-3 angels, 4 horses). Then, on the way, I encountered a pack of Devils, followed by Wings. I upgraded 4 angels, attacked the Devils, and then an army of Dead Knights appeared. I wanted to bypass them and attack the Swords guarding the Utopian, but I attacked the undead. That was a game-changer.
Thanks for the game.

Group A, ready to play, message me!!!

07/31/2011 gnoll (Blue, Tower, Solmyr, Korbak) def Mar (Red, Stronghold, Yog, Pir) 6lm10a 127

I vaguely remember the course of the game, as it started on turn 19. I remember there were glitched piles of gold, which were marked with a tree. And when trying to take them, the game crashed. We had to reload many times because of this. I described this bug in several threads. It got to the point where the game started crashing on turn 127 for the AI. On the advice of Orga, we turned to baratorch, and he fixed our save. But we had been busy for a long time and only agreed to finish the game now. The game didn't even start; the opponent announced their readiness to submit a report of defeat. The reasons are unknown.
In the game, there was a native town and a hidden stash of gremlins; Korbak was level 10 from the Dungeon. Judging by the last save, Mar lost an army somewhere.
Thank you for the game. No one wants bugs; they ruin all the fun.
