We each took 2 res. Also, there were connection issues at the start.
111 Scouted well, three roads without blocks, revealed 2 external archer dwellings and a Dragon Utopia.
112-113 Running around collecting resources, captured an empty secondary town (Tower), with Valeska I take stat boosters and fight weak guards. On 113, I revealed Griffin Conservatory 1, I split my army, and set up camp not far from the Conservatory. Planning to take it the next day.
114 Word of defeat arrives.
Thanks for the game.

P.S. The respawn was awful overall, 1 Dragon Fly Hive, 1 Griffin Conservatory, no external angel dwelling, no Pandora's Boxes, the road to the secondary town along the edge of the map. On turn 12? it was impossible to reach the center, even though the guard wasn't that strong (~80 Cyclopes).

I never picked up secondary heroes: both are far and blocked. But nearby there was an external dwelling for mih (for 90 gрейж lizards), a couple of conservatories, Dragon Fly Hives, a magic spring, a stable, a couple of libraries (even three), a Dragon Utopia (level 3). There was no frantic rushing. And Crag leveled well. Magic wasn't used much somehow. In the Dragon Utopia I left 5 Wyverns (red orb, helmet +4+4). On day 127 I was standing at the ГО of black dragons (although there were also reds and a horde of cavaliers nearby, but they were already on the sand off the road) with 6 Beholders, 7 Angels, 8 Birds, 31 Wyverns, 52 orc gрейж, 38 dogs, and 18 goblins. Crag level 16, 16-14-11-11(240), expert Offense, Earth, Tactics, Logistics, Artillery, advanced Armorer. In the treasure zone I also took the Sword of Justice (instead of the sword +2+2) and a couple of Dragon Utopias. The opponent, meanwhile, with problems took a max Dragon Utopia and without strong bonuses. And considering the seen stats of Crag, he says gg. Thanks for the game.

What about the number of days for restarts???
the rules don't say a word about it...

We chose the restart option, and I wasn't even looking for a "chocolate" map; it just played poorly, except for one instance. However, a block with Crag Hawks near the castle forced me to explore the map. Loss.

The last generation initially seemed good – a stable near the castle and a hidden spot with bears for 20-49 gold, guarded by Medusas. But my joy was short-lived. The land was completely barren, except for some low-level hidden spots in one direction. A block with Djinns was in the other direction. And, as if to mock me, there was a huge mountain range in the corner of the map. Oh, and I also had a full backpack of valuable artifacts, like two Necromancer Robes, artifacts for increased sight range, and artifacts for undead defense, etc. At the end of the week, Crag reached level 3 at the stable and bought a Wisdom artifact just in case.

The second week went better; I managed to gather 18 Griffins and 7 Angels. I only reached the center by turn 125. There, a mass die-off of bears and Griffins occurred due to a lack of Slow. To be precise, there was some Slow, but I hadn't upgraded the Earth skill, so it didn't work. The treasure was a continuation of my map. And I was already thinking that the game was going well when an opponent appeared near the Guardian and attacked my Naga. He didn't attack, and I got lucky; it turned out that the Nagas weren't so easy to defeat. On my turn, a scout found the opponent's capital, and the weak units managed to reach him with their army. GG.

Thank you for the game.

Well, Jebus Cross on SoD and on HotA are two completely different games.:D

First, a total wipe on 116. Glitched that there were up to fifty griffins and in a hurry I attacked. Turned out to be 98, they reinforced. But the devils successfully stayed in the castle. Pyre got Earth, and under the castle a Book of Earth. The issue with the papa was resolved.
On the 2nd, I'm not rushing to the center since I can get punished, calmly collecting Dragon Fly Hives, Griffin Conservatories, and a couple of drowners. On 127 I emerged into the center and managed to take the center village. Also grabbing 15 gr cows and 15 ducks from the boxes.
Then came a series of most absurd losses. In short, over the course of the game I squandered 3 arch devils, 5 cows, a dozen wyverns, an angel, 16 pits, and some miscellaneous stuff. But the opponent wasn't rushing to the center and we met at his respawn after the max drowner. 3 consecutive resists on the grand elites, but on the 4th try the meteor hits the target, then resurrections. GG.

Thanks for the game.

I chose all the rests and got a block to the second spawn and ГО. As a result, I spent the entire first turn wandering off-road, settling for one path. I took birds, orcs, and wolves from an external dwelling; the second spawn was Castle. On the second, I took an external dwelling of speed, three mini-hives, cons 1+4+1.
ГО was a horde of angels, no earth magic, there is air but without haste; by 123 the opponent was already strolling in the center. I started building up to archangels on the second, but another highlighted external dwelling of speed and only 1 mini Dragon Utopia with slag forced me to focus on bears. I upgrade them at 131 and head to the center via the library. The plan is extremely simple - immediately after ГО, a cloak of speed, which for some reason the opponent stubbornly didn't take. Hope rests on it, mass haste, and 10 grey ones. Although there was only one Dragon Utopia with bots +2 to all and a shield +6, Kreg wasted no time, ran around many upgrades, and was not worse than Tazar, who had consumed the center.
I took the cloak, stood near the dungeon on the passage to the blues at the respawn; then Tazar runs up and stands in a cage away from me. I bring up birds and ogres, put on bracers, and attack.
Kreg 26-19-12-(35) 10 grey ones, 6 angels, 21 ducks, 12 birds, 12 ogres, 33 orcs, 50 goblins - off, def, earth, air
Tazar 17-23-26-(180) 6 hydras, 52 ducks, 15 pit lords, 39 lizards, a few flies - off, def, tactics, air
The only dangerous thing there was a bolt for 700; I mass haste, then mass slow and throw everything at the horde of ducks as much as possible.
In general, after a long break, I played quite poorly, but the opponent forgave me, didn't come to the second spawn and kill me, which was a mistake.
Thanks for the game!
