29.09.2012, Zatayl_NT (red, Błoto, Wystan) def Sanin(blue, Tower, Neela, Neela) balance, 133, SOD

The respawn was rich - which is very surprising for balance, along the road there were 7 windmills +1000 gold, crazy, and chests were scattered pretty well too, the only problem was wood, and seeing 2 griffin towers and an external dwelling of bulls made me even happier. With such momentum, everything in the castle 1234567 was built, the second week we clear everything on the respawn and griffin towers, and also along the road there were 2 Dwarf Cottages, 2 Naga Banks, and 2 Medusa shrines, and in the direction from the castle there was also a max-level Naga Bank and 4 crypts, all taken on the second week, and here I am at the GO at 131, having killed it almost without losses - I broke through 2 guards, brought the army... took the only beehive for 6 ducks, at 133 I saw the opponent in the center with a bunch of skeletons, but because of such development and tempo as well as the upgrade of Lizardmen, the upgrade of flies and bulls, I was without a spellbook, but I ran to the castle, bought a book, there was Shield - expert Earth, and there was a scroll of Haste, which decided the outcome in the FB - the Opponent, seeing all this, gathers his army into a fist and attacks. His parameters 5 7 3 80 mana against mine - 4 13 4 3, his army: 15 Mages, 15 Arch elementals, Arch Devil, 275 skeletons, 180 archers, 9 Naga, 15 Ogres. My army: 5 Hydras, 15 Wyverns, 22 upgraded Bulls, 108 upgraded Lizardmen, 5 Angels, and 12 upgraded Flies. The battle was difficult, to be honest, I thought if there is Sleep or decent magic, then I would lose, since the opponent had almost nothing for Mass Slow and Lightning, and that's where Haste decided it... thanks for the game!!!

1.10.2012, Zatayl_NT (red, Necro, Gosha) def zoog(blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) Jobus, 127, SOD

The only plus was seeing 3 hives on 111 that can all be taken in two days with light guards, and there was enough money for 8 heroes on 111 - so I decided to play... But then I regretted it the whole game: not a single external dwelling, not a single Pandora's box, and by 115 - a level 4 hero, 10 ducks, and 90 skeletons - I already wanted to surrender. But we take back 3 hives and suddenly you have maxis; the first Pandora appears with 10k experience, then a second one for 10k experience, and there's an artifact +2 speed, as well as a 2nd castle and a 3rd Pandora for 10k gold... and an artifact +1 all, there is also a sword - found it by luck and beat back +3, luckily there is also a convenient Dragon Utopia... by 122 I took that too with minimal forces, but it was nice... artifacts are good + 12 sword, and shield + 3, also took 2 prisons with level 20 heroes, all in skeletons, and on 123 I'm standing at ГО - but Galtran is level 18 and doesn't even have earth magic, though I stand there with 180 mana. But there is a hero with expert earth from the level 20 prison, and we break through the double ГО with them... after 4 turns of back and forth we break through, collect Pandora's boxes and artifacts, take another 3 Dragon Utopias, build up to a level 5 guild which gives DD, there is a town portal, books of earth, water, fire; I lost almost the entire army. I took 4 heroes in the center from prisons, all in skeletons; out of 400 skeletons, only 160 remained when exiting to ГО, but no matter: central castle and 4 heroes with armies, another 2 battles and you have 300 skeletons. We take the only griffon dwelling, 2 angels, and only 8 were left from 20 vives, as well as the last Pandora with 30 medusas, and I jump with 600 mana to the opponent, taking his castle on 127 with 2 angels, 300 skeletons, 30 medusas, and 8 vives with all the magic available in the game and stats 19 25 33 27; he surrenders, thanks for the game!!!

Vigo (blue, Castle, Orrin, Orrin) def Juristis (red, Swamp, Alkin, Alkin) 2sm4d3 126
We played full random and there weren't many sharpshooters, but there was an external dwelling for them, a Dragon Utopia nearby, and I scouted a Griffin Conservatory. On the first week, native secondary hero and only 4 levels at home in the Citadel.
On the second week, I took Tower as a secondary, got some money, prepared for the first Griffin Conservatory, but the opponent came running. I sold everything, plopped down a Castle and holed up. Orrin managed to shoot from behind the walls.
Thanks for the game

111. external dwelling of Harpies revealed behind 10-19 Serpents, Naga Bank, Shield +3 behind Zombies, Skeleton Warrior came with only 1 stack (81 Troglodytes in the end), but Harpies are built, upgrading, riding on 9-speed.
112. +1 more hero, visited 2 small Crypts, Shield reclaimed, stable available.
113. breaking through with Basilisk to the grass respawn and positioning before 20-49 upgraded Lizardmen, don't want to fight, tactics not upgraded, though a Castle is visible not far.
114. crushed by Lizardmen and take the Harpy external dwelling, messed up a bit, 51 Troglodytes in the end, but got a portal home and +3 more Harpies, took a small Crypt.

117. 7 Harpies chopped up the Griffins, resulting in a Skeleton Warrior on Angel. at home 1-5 in Citadel + portal.

121. heading to the Naga Bank (3-4), ahead beyond the Lizardmen that crushed me earlier is a Dwarf dwelling... where to go next dunno... there is a subway somewhere in the corner of the respawn, but winding there would take 2-3 days...
122. took the Naga stack on 3, got me another Harpy.
123. Dwarf dwelling on 15, took a secondary Castle, above it a Library behind 20-49 Core Medusas. Skeleton Warrior is leveling nicely, already Expert Earth Magic (so no Slow :o ) and has Logs.
124. the Medusas with morale still managed to kill 2 Harpies :mad: but there is another Griffin Conservatory, strong :) decided to upgrade Minotaurs and rush in without scouting.
125. maneuvering to upgrade Minotaurs. see a blue weakling near the Observatory, move closer - the passage is breached and I just reach the Observatory - oh yes :smile08: its sight basically decided the whole game. revealed a passage near my Castle to a swamp treasure zone with a trio of Hives, a Pandora's Box and more artifacts.
126. Griffin Conservatory on 3. lost about fifty Troglodytes, well screw them, none of the 17 Harpies died :smile12: settled in the Castle to replenish Monks.
127. exchanged weak heroes, took a relic +8 Attack. at home, Elves in the Castle. gathering gold.

131. Skeleton Warrior ventures further through the swamp, takes a Pandora's Box of 15 Trolls and reveals a Dragon Utopia :smile09:
132. +8 more Attack, Trolls slowly go as fodder, preparing a batch of Harpies and Troglodytes for reinforcement (thankfully Stables near the Castle, so the chain reaches far).
133. artifact +1 Speed, another Dragon Utopia revealed :smile01: now need to take Pikemen as fodder too.
134. +6 Attack while standing at the entrance to the Dragon Utopia.
135. minor Dragon Utopia :smile32: only gave a Necklace +3 All Stats, and the next one is behind mountains - need to circle around through the swamp... I'll slowly push in.
136. push further, 2 more relics and another Dragon Utopia :smile23: Blues are nowhere to be seen, good.
137. +4 Attack (27 total)

141. another minor Dragon Utopia :smile18: but at least gave a Sword +5 All Stats and Sphere of the Earth.

143. took max relics, Dragon Utopia with 2 Black Dragons :mad: but left a Helm +6 All Stats, Breastplate +1 and Shield +5 All Stats. Skeleton Warrior becomes incredibly strong 27-30-23-29 :smile10: a chain is set up for 7 movement points.
144. Skeleton Warrior is at home, the entire army is upgraded, waiting for main force delivery.
145. standing near the GO on Angels.
146. 27 Red Dragons vanish without killing anyone. slowly want to attack the blue Rampart, but don't know the direction (from magic only have Slow, Shield and Stone Skin :smile45: ) choose the wrong road, but spot Ivor with his army. FB. the enemy is powerless against the Skeleton Warrior :smile34:

It was there!!! I'm sure!
