04.04.2013 angry russian man (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def soryk (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2SM4d(3) 141

Week 1: not much money, so only 5 heroes. In the Castle, 1245, in the Fort + 1000. Took 3 dwellings (levels 1, 2, and 4). Conservatory, Nagabanks, and Hive were revealed.
Week 2: another dwelling, level 6, 7 heroes, took Nagabank (3), checked Conservatory 2-4.
Week 3: took Hive for 4 Wyverns, Conservatory for 4 Angels, it was good that I didn't risk taking Conservatory in week 2. The Angels didn't stand up due to lack of money.

On day 137, an opponent appears on the Necropolis. I gather everything and attack.
Valeska 7 8 3 (10) expert in Leadership, Archery, Earth Magic, Advanced Tactics, and Offense.
4 Angels, 2 Wyverns, 11 Champions, 70+ Maximen, 18 Swordsmen, group of Griffins.
Gurnisson 11 4 6
3 Bears, 1 Angel, 20+ group of Demons, and single Goblins.

I kill the Angel with Maximen, the rest are waiting. The opponent runs away but doesn't surrender.

I kill 3 nearby units, 1 of which has 11 Wyverns, and I scout Utopia, but on day 141, I still receive the news of the surrender.

Thank you for the game.

Started a couple of days ago, finished today. On the first [turn] I took 3 hydra dwells and 6 gnolls, 2 hives for 4+6 wyverns, and a +5 shield. Tazar has Ranger and Water, Nella has Earth; hydras are at home in the citadel, took the castle's secondary by off-roading.
Then another 2 hives. On 122 I took a level 3 Dragon Utopia; auto-battle suggested losses of 3 wyverns and 1 hydra (+fodder, obviously), for some reason I didn't like it and lost 7 wyverns manually) But at least the hydra is intact. They gave a sword and shield +5 and +4 to all, and +10 armor. Hydra grade; on 124 a mini-Dragon Utopia, gladius, and 2 hp rings. Wyvern grade, cons for 3+2; on 125 broke through with Nella using exp tactics, but without mana ГО, 100+ gr liches, they killed 1 wyvern.
Then it was a war of losers with the opponent; Tazar finally leveled up mass Earth, but overall the leveling is crappy, roads gave way slightly bugged, had to break through another 2 of my own ГО, 10-19 cd and 4 rusty [units]. Spotted a teapot+Dragon Utopia behind the rusties, but was tempted to take boots first and Craig on wings stole them right from under my nose.
There is no magic above level 1, while the opponent has 5 phoenixes from Pandora, higher stats, and likely Armageddon, so despite the advantage in fodder I decided to make a run for it. Turned out not in vain; on the way I broke a flask +2hp, collecting an elixir, and a necklace +3 to all. Then broke another of my own ГО and ran back to my own bugged village. At home spotted a level 3 Dragon Utopia, a chain leading to it, and by off-roading through my own respawn managed to move the army (on the way another con for 3 angels). Took the Dragon Utopia with Nella, minimal losses, they gave a water book. Nella has exp tactics and off, advanced Earth; Tazar finally has advanced log, but no off or tactics. Craig ran away to feed on the left respawn.
On 133 broke Tazar in main and positioned him with 8 angels at the exit of the respawn so as to reach center cities. Nella is nearby a few steps away. Meanwhile, the army broke through the cloak of renunciation and shackles at the respawn.
134 - Craig crashed into center city and attacks Tazar with 7 birds. 3 stacks of birds against 3 stacks of angels) in round 1 Armageddon, which 2 angels resist, but lucky birds slam into them and kill them. - Tazar and boots, but I'm only glad; as expected, Craig doesn't have time to escape. In the counter-move shackles+cloak and 18 gr hydras on Nella take Craig with all artifacts) Thanks for the game!

Ominous [Inferno, Marius, Marius] def Oldboy [Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti] 8mm6a 112

On day 1, I immediately took an Angel. "My breath was taken away with joy."
On day 2, I lost to a naga-bank-four, had a brainfart, thought it was a three-stack, which would have been doable.

Oldboy [Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti + Dessa] def Ominous [Inferno, Marius, Marius] 8mm6a 142

The long roads, along which I had to run for a very long time, gave out.
On week 1, I picked up an external dwelling of Medusas and started gathering a "megastack". Around the beginning of week 2, I reached the nearest opponent and the central village. It turned out to be an ally. The Medusas increased even more.
By the end of week 2, I went for a frontal assault, but got lost and ran into an opponent in the corner. And I was lucky it was an ally. Around it, as many as 4 Griffin Conservatories were soon found, though all scattered in different places, and Dessa with Expert Earth Magic was farming all week 3.
At the same time, I was building the 4th level Guild here in hopes of Town Portal, because gathering the army at such distances was no longer feasible. At the 4th level in the Dungeon, they gave Armageddon and (suddenly!) Water Walk.
On turn 141, having gathered 10 Angels, I entered a Dragon Utopia - maximum! Killed all the Scorpicores and 100 out of 200 Troglodytes. A Book of Earth and artifacts for Spell Power and Knowledge.
Well, that's fine.

By this point, I had already oriented myself and knew exactly which teleport led to the enemy.
142. Shakti performs a series of jumps and buys out everything available. Dessa gets defeated, equips all the gear, takes command, and goes through the teleport to the enemy. Upon exit, Marius is immediately on the march, and right after the attack, surrenders.

Thanks for the games.

We played on the Lake map. On the first turn, I killed 17 trolls for a Pandor's Box worth 10,000 gold, then I grabbed the Dungeon. On the second turn, I gained momentum and did a lot of things... On the third turn, I got caught in the Dungeon and won!
Thanks for the game!!!
