08.07.2012 twaryna (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Galthran) def my_wild_desire(Blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 136 2sm4d(3)

Decided to try Swamp as a pro, which I regretted at first, but ultimately it worked out) Came with a 4th-level hero Galthran and decided to make him the daddy. At respawn, a few blockers, little wood, 2 external dwellings of Gnolls. Later I find a tasty spot with Gauntlets, a Dragon Fly Hive, a Griffin Conservatory, and a Necromancy Amplifier. Then another Dragon Fly Hive was found. Galthran leveled slowly, mid-week I ran out onto the grass. But soon I stumbled upon a blocker of Sharpshooters guarding a Dragon Utopia. No way around them, had to turn back:( There was also a path to snow through Medusas, but I didn't go there. On day 1, I placed 1-4, 6 in the Citadel, little gold... At the end of the week, I cleared the Gauntlets btw + a Skull Cap of Knowledge too. At the start of the second week, I took a Ring of Health, hired a secondary hero from the Citadel, stuck Birds there, and revealed their external dwelling with 50+ Water Elementals. Took 2 Dwarf Cottages (20+30) with Galthran, necromancied 150 Skeletons. Went to the first Dragon Fly Hive (12), took it with a loss of some Gnolls and found another Griffin Conservatory (1) nearby. Then I ran to the second Hive. On guard, due to Pit Fiends' anti-morale and morale, I lose an Angel and a couple of Wyverns( But the Hive is maxed and a decent stack of 28 Dragon Flies is assembled. Next, the Griffin Conservatory with 3 Angels, a trip home for mana. Meanwhile, the noob takes the Necromancy Amplifier - gives a Belt of the Legion). Then I run to the Dragon Utopia with Gosh. Crag Hack is also visible there. I level up Earth Magic along the way and attack. 350 Skeletons, Angels, Wyverns, and 50 Lizardmen. The finale was without options. Thanks for the game!

This game was very informative for me. I explored my starting area, collected resources without any problems, and entered the secondary area relatively late, but also successfully gathered resources there. I didn't raid any Utopias, only one Conservatory. I had a good increase in the number of Pegasuses, due to their reproduction on the map and their joining my army. When the opponent captured my city, I didn't get too worried, thinking I could easily take it back. However, the final battle showed that with the stats he had, and his magic, my army, which was twice as large, couldn't do much, unfortunately. Thank you for the game :)

We played full random, picked all rests. In the end I got Dungeon, opponent got Tower and Neela. Also slow roads
111 - Ajit arrived with 4 Evil Eyes, I place them in the castle, and on the same day I buy another Evil Eye from the hive;
112 - bought Evil Eyes from the hive, scouted the overview with a scout hero and saw a Dragon Fly Hive behind a horde of Medusas on a respawn, lit up a Griffin Conservatory behind a horde of Troglodytes with another scout hero;
113 - broke through the road to the sand and ran there with a scout hero, broke through the road to the subway with the main hero (already 18 Eyes);
114 - in the subway broke through a horde of thieves very poorly (about a hundred of them), losing 30 Troglodytes in the process, behind the teleport - a pile of Diamonds:( ;
115 - can't place Minoes due to lack of gems and cats (also no sulfur);
116 - breaking through the subway to Inferno's secondary hero;
117 - just rode past the gold, didn't place Minoes, ended up with 1234 in the castle + portal'd in another 7 Evil Eyes;
121 - opponent turned out to be green, he has another Griffin Conservatory (troll one), I upgrade the Eyes, buy another 18 and bring them to Ajit. On my turn opponent says he gives up.

Thanks to c0nn3c71nkK.ppL for the game

Opponent used both resurrections, I did not use mine.
111 - 2 stacks for Shakti, 3 for Adgit, 2 external dwellings of eyes lit up, cloak +2 speed and a hive for 20-49 king cyclopes. Many stat boosters.
112 - saw another medusa dwelling and a dungeon village. Nothing else particularly interesting, but was hoping to see something later.
113 - couldn't hold back laughter, another helmet +6 to all stats on the respawn. Took the village, bought a spellbook, took the eye dwelling, upgraded Troglodytes. Control - a horde of manticores.
114 - Kalhom maxi-crypt, killed 7 Troglodytes (can't properly take crypts on necro ground). Medusa dwelling, armor +1 to all stats, 3 mercenary camps (+1 to attack). Eye upgrade.
115 - prison with Ignissa level 10, then broke through 28 gr vampires along the road for a library. And to top it off, lost another dozen Troglodytes in the maxi-crypt by placing them in the center.
116 - medusa dwelling for 8, another crypt, prison with Melody level 5, castle village, defeated Shakti.
117 - Galtran took a second eye dwelling, Shakti took the cloak +2 speed, then advanced earth magic on zombies. Originally planned to hit the control on 122, but apparently won't have time to level up enough. Home 1-4 in Citadel + portal, secondary has portal.
121 - exchanged resources at markets, upgraded medusas, took the helmet with Shakti (had almost 100 eyes, lost 18 Troglodytes), and shield +3 with Yog.
122 - upgraded harpies, kill 23 gr cyclopes, take a hive for 6 Wyverns. Exp from off and logs, advanced tactics and earth magic. 1009 exp to level, damn it...
123 - Shakti gets defeated in the dungeon near the control and runs for a chest, it has 500 exp, but that damned tactics gets leveled up. I decide to hit the control without oil, since it's already come to that. Ignissa takes a maxi-hive and a sword +2-2.
124 - shield +5 with Das, defeating 2 noobs around the control, then I break through, with stats 19-19 the cats fell surprisingly easily, if I'd known, I'd have broken through the previous turn. They give armor, couldn't refuse. Immediately pack of gr hydras for shield +12, then with oil 35 bears for a hive, Pandora's Box and necklace +3 to all stats. The Pandora's Box had exp.
125 - cast double mana, which I forgot last turn. Hive for 8 Wyverns. Pandora's Box with exp for Ignissa, earth spell book for Gretchin.
126 - behind the devils I take wings + Dragon Utopia, mini Dragon Utopia, gives air spell book. Immediately Dimension Door to the home Dragon Utopia, it's a level 2 one, Titan's Plate and +1k gold. Town Portal home - Deesa runs to the spotted Griffin Conservatory, conservatories as many as 2, but behind the blue tent. Sadness. They cut down Ignissa.
127 - Shakti takes a hive for 6 Wyverns in the center, armor +4-4. Das reaches the opponent's central tower, I take it. I return the army to Shakti, cut down 5 of the opponent's heroes in one turn.
131 - visited 2 libraries with the main hero, scouted that Kyrre ran to the citadel-respawn, there is a blocked swamp on the way to it.
I don't remember much after that, it was late night. Griffon Conservatory wars, I took the central swamp, visited another 2 libraries, took 2 small hives, 3 Griffin Conservatories, including the home ones behind the blue tent. Took the opponent's main, dungeon on a neutral respawn, there's also a dragon dwelling there.
On 142, during the mop-up, I caught Kalid with an army on the citadel-respawn, after that the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game!

Played very poorly, a bunch of misplays, so I don't really want to elaborate. Opp took 1 or 2 re, I didn't take any.
Shakti came with 3 stacks. On 115 with bless broke the conus-three, gave away 70 troglodytes I think. Then took an external dwelling of drakes, cats, and 7 troglodytes, home cats in fort with portal to the dragon. Shakti leveled like a jerk, at first didn't want to expert off, then there were super choices of alertness-navigation, resistance-ballistics.
On the second built a bunch of nagabanks (there were about 6 on the respawn for sure). On 124 broke the ГО, lost a dragon there. Then 100+ gr cyclops, took the angel and 50 troglodytes. Took books of earth and air in the treasure zone, a couple of hives, then lost a few more ducks. Went on 131 into a Dragon Utopia with Shakhter just "magnificently", losing another 100 troglodytes. Anyway, good thing the opp's situation wasn't great. At home I put drakes in the castle.
On 132 Dace without mana cut down Crag Hack who came out to the center, having sped up on units of birds, and the next turn the defeated Shakti finished off Brissa with an army. Thanks for the game!

In the second game, I broke through, secured the Gold Mine, and settled in the Castle. Early in the third game, I finished building the Grand Mage, gained the ability to fly, and one morning, I flew to the opponent's main base on a horse.)
Thanks for the game!
