24.06.13 A(red, castle, Sonya, Luna) draw RiMpel2(blue, tower, Tan, Tazar) Jebus Cross, 123
A lot of good things were generated. Including Luna in the tavern; I decided to try playing specifically with her. Because I have little experience manipulating the fire wall, my army was a bit battered while taking Pandoras. In the first week, I took the Pandoras at the respawn, got all the same-element magic, experience, and a bunch of Crusaders, and won a medal +3 to luck and morale, but until the end of the first week, I was afraid to attack conservatories, which as it turned out, was in vain — fire wall rules... In the second week, I started taking conservatories. First the smaller ones, took a level 1, then decided to go for larger ones; my army seemed to be more than 30 Crusaders, an angel, and all expert fire magic was available. After taking the cons (there were about 8-9 of them, it seems — a lot were spawned), in 3-4 days, maybe I would have slowly started taking Dragon Utopia, and then gone underground, but we saved the game for later because it was already very late. After that, we couldn't load the save — constant timeout. Therefore, we decided: a combat draw. Many thanks for the game

Everything was good, a hidden den of dendrites with a portal to the Dungeon, but the opponent rage-quit in round 2.

Thanks for the game!

There wasn't such a thing.

23.06.2013 BA/IEHOK (red, random-Fortress, random-Korbac, Grindan) def Satyr (blue, random-Dungeon, random-Damacon, Shakti), Balance, 122
On the first week — Wyvern in Citadel + external dwelling of Lizardmen + portal in the Dungeon village. On 117, Grindan appeared in the tavern; I had to buy him as the eighth hero. On 121, Grindan picks up a chest with 5k exp + a chest with 60 Troglodytes, and on 122 I break into the 5th zone. There, Shakti with a Power of the Horde; I attack. From magic, only Slow; in the army — 100 Gnolls, 5 Wyverns, and 80+ Lizardmen. Shakti had everything fair — no tome, gg.
Thanks for the game!

24.06.2013 Tovariщ (Blue, Dungeon, mines, mines) def u2noob (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 123.

111. 2 dwarf dwellings 15 +30, I see the Griffin Conservatory. 112 I break through the Griffin Conservatory, check, 2, go back for the book. 113 +2 angels, hit the portal to the opponent's secondary, clear everything there, a quick scout and bail to avoid a return fight. Next I take the external dwelling of minotaurs, secondary Barbarian, there's a Griffin Conservatory, checked - 3. On 121 I take a small dwarf dwelling, the Griffin Conservatory 3 and head to the opponent. On 123 I kill Tazar like a noob on the rush.

Thanks for the game!

We wasted all the resources. On the first week, Rampart secondary hero, horses. I break into the third upgrade, see a bunch of Pandora's Boxes and a Griffin Conservatory. On turn 121 I take a treasure dungeon and joyfully aggro a double Griffin Conservatory. Luckily, on morale I lose a stack of archers, meat, and 2 horses. Just then the opponent appears near the main Castle. Frustrated, I transfer the army, kill the scout hero, and Kyrre dismantles me the next turn. In the neighboring treasure dungeon — 3 external dwellings for horses (((. This just confirms the truth that you always have to go left.

Tazar vs Crag Hack - El Clasico :D .

I took 2 restarts, my opponent one. From the start, the road to one of the secondary heroes was completely blocked by a lot of genies for a quest artifact, but it turns out that the other secondary hero is on grass, and also on day 111 a decent stack of lizards comes out thanks to an external dwelling. On day 112, a Griffin Conservatory is spotted (as it turned out later - a tier 3 with Grand Elves), I break through to the secondary hero through 33 crypts without a road, grab an artifact +1 speed, a couple of crypts, upgrade structures, and discover another Griffin Conservatory: a throne. I check with a scout - tier 2. The secondary hero turned out to be a Castle. On week 2, with a delivery, I dive into the tier-2 Griffin Conservatory (without oil, Earth magic wasn't leveled up enough), auto-battle lost the fight, but I fought it myself and lost everything except 47 Greater Basilisks and 1 Wyvern. Then, with angels, the grass respawn is cleared (it turned out to be very large), an underground secondary hero (Inferno) is broken into, where aside from a Black Market there's nothing interesting, another tier-3 Griffin Conservatory is broken into, which went smoothly with oil. On week 3, Tazar is actively collecting Wyverns in the underground treasure zone. There, a couple of Pandora's Boxes for experience and 35 poor creatures are taken, the Golden Bow is collected, a Dragon Utopia with 20-49 Bone Dragons is visible, but I decided not to go in because there was no one to take the Basilisks, so I decided to break out and head home. At home, I finally break through the genies that had been an eyesore for half the game, break into the Barbarian secondary hero, and there I spot another Griffin Conservatory, but decided not to drag the game out and instead rushed through the Horde Guardian (147 Minotaurs) straight at the opponent. The Horde Guardian is broken through without losses, but I don't reach the castle. Tazar's stats: 10 16 5 5 (50). 8 Angels, 29 Greater Wyverns, 114 Greater Basilisks, ~120 Greater Gnolls, 14 Greater Thanes, about 30 Serpents, 35 Marksmen. My opponent checks all this and surrenders; his stats and army are worse, and his respawn wasn't as compact.

Thanks for the game.
