XREH (Dwarf) defeated Daniel_M (Magic, Genie) in the Labyrinth Dwell map, only 4 turns.

I decided to test how overpowered Dwarves are in a similar Dwarf vs. Magic matchup, which is why I signed up for this game...
We played on the first generation. The Dwarf promised a more or less decent start. But, already in the starting area, he left behind two dozen harpies. Then, in the adjacent area, he lost all his defending units and more harpies in the very first Dwarf building, but there was no other choice; he needed money. With great difficulty and a reload, he managed to capture another maxed-out Dwarf building, which allowed him to build towers. He found a regeneration source and upgraded his light magic, and then things started to improve. He cleared the resource area, broke through to his second adjacent area, where he was defeated and resurrected in his castle. It was week five, which meant he needed to attack the Guardian.

He attacked, but didn't go any further (hoping that the Dwarf would be stronger than the nerfed Magic in the late game).

On turn 21, he found a log, upgraded it in the center, and through the passage, he ended up in the treasure area, but it turned out that Daniel had already cleared it. He started looking for a second one, but found his own secondary area, and the portal next to it led to the second treasure area. He went there, defeated the relics and 2 Temples, and even managed to mentor, although without much success. All this time, Inga was harassing the Magic player, destroying the roaches and scouting the territory with a vision range of 12 cells. Thanks to her, he noticed the approaching Magic player in time, summoned reinforcements from his secondary area (levels 1, 2, and 3), and waited for a good moment to attack. He didn't want to attack in the castle... because he was counting on close combat. Such an opportunity presented itself, and he attacked in the field. The first shot, which killed all the harpies, didn't give much hope, but things got better after that. The battle was tense and exciting, and in the end, it was victorious.

I've attached the replay. There was no stream.

Sir_Moz (Orcs, Keegan?) lost to Stefan (Demons, Nibros), last summer, 1-3-6.
He misclicked on the second map – entered a hut, and was left without magic and machines. On 1-3-6, he broke the Guard Outpost and took the castle, or rather, even the Stronghold.
Thanks for the game.

ekzekutor (Necropolis, Zoltan) defeated JonnyP (Academy)
Stalled for 4 turns, opponent surrendered on week 3
Thanks for the game.

ekzekutor (dwarves, Brand) defeated alijvit (demons, Deleb).
The opponent arrived on week 4, but couldn't take the castle. After that, I finally reached the treasure and took Chaos with Armageddon's Blade, but the opponent, not knowing what to do next, decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game.

DanielM (red, Dungeon, Vaishan) lost to moz (blue, Elves, Wing) in week 8. Sun template.

Starting from week 4, it was all about tricky tactics, every 3-4 turns. Eventually, I gave up on countering them and defended with my left-hand Dire, while Wing finished off the third hero and defeated the Dungeon faction. Thanks for the game.

JonnyP (Necropolis, Kaspar) lost to Stefan (Academy, Vittorio), 2-2-1, rainbow, Academy - random, dwellings 4,4,5,6.
The black player boosted his spell power to 53, and had a lot of creatures - I attacked to get killed, but Kaspar's lack of defense and the cat under antimagic after the titans finished off the undead.
Thanks for the game.

Will, red Orcs of Hagesh, defeated GL, Humans of Vitia, week 5
Received two level 1 dwellings, found a treasure on level 3, although there weren't many artifacts there. On level 4, I broke through the Gate of Oblivion and went to the opponent. The battle took place in a castle. I guessed wrong with the defensive structure and chose anti-light. The opponent had darkness, but the gates were quickly broken, and the Orcs won. Thanks for the game.
