Excellent layout. On the main — Dragon Fly Hive, Griffin Conservatory, and on the dungeon secondary 2! external dwellings of Minotaurs and another Griffin Conservatory. Took the external dwellings and portaled on the first week — an excellent stack. At the start of the second week, I take Skeleton Converters, Dwarf Cottages, Medusa Tanks and with scouting I go into the Griffin Conservatory for a tier 3, then another tier 3 and a mini Dragon Fly Hive. At that point I could already break the ГО but stupidly forgot to set up the Mage Guild in the main to replenish mana. So I decide to go to the treasure zone. With the view spell I see that the opponent has cleared one. My treasure zone turned out sour — 2 beehives, a couple of Pandora's Boxes and behind rusty swords +5 all. I take everything and go to the opponent's main, after having upgraded 40+ Minotaurs and Dragon Flies. Huge power advantage + mass Haste and Slow give the opponent no chance to win. Thanks for the game

I was leveling Gruni and Galthran, things were just starting to come together, but the opponent surrenders, auto doesn't take over.
Thanks for the game!

Chocolate, hidden stash of fighters, mines, many money-generating buildings, but it's a losing strategy.
Thanks for the game!

11.07.2013 AYMAN (red, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Iamsamstan (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Tante) panic, 135
I took one rest, opponent got Tante and he chose not to rest.
On the first, an awkward guard of a necro village: Archmagi and a horde of lizardmen, but as Shakti I leveled Tactics to Expert and broke through the Archmagi, stupidly losing one Lion. At the respawn I found an external dwelling of Medusas which I took at the end of the week, and also cleared a camp where I bought two Wyverns. By the end of the first week, I captured the necro village, picked up Boots of Speed, leveled Shakti a bit, and had dwelling 1-6 in the Citadel.

On the second, I picked up +3 Spell Power, and through the well gradually pushed passages to villages; in the end, I broke through to many villages on the second week and scouted a decent treasure zone on swamp. I camped at the stables.
On 131, I fight nearly 40 horses for passage into the treasure zone, there I took a beehive with Pits, a Speed artifact, a beehive with Wizards, another beehive, and a couple Pandora's Boxes. Then I moved into the scouted zone where the opponent roams. On 135, I broke into the blue zone, knowing there are angels there. I stay the night with a powerful army. After passing the turn, Tante attacks me.
In the final battle, I had an advantage in meat and stats, leaving Tante no chance.
Thanks for the game!!!!

All resets were used, had to play with what we got. The draft was terrible! Strong shooter blocks on the roads, no wood, the horses never upgraded (on the first week there was -1 2 4 in the Citadel. Found a Necromancer's plateau, prayed for a Necro on the second week, and Vedomina came!)) Captured the external dwelling of minotaurs, Dungeon — placed a portal there, and just in time on day 7 the minotaur building was scheduled. But then a meeting with the opponent, his army is an order of magnitude stronger. So I holed up as a scout hero in the Dungeon, with everything I had. He didn't attack for some reason, though he could easily reach me. The next day I built the Citadel, and a day later the Castle. The opponent kept hanging around, but didn't attack, a couple of scout heroes were exchanged, while Vedomina ran around boosting stats.
The opponent fled, I brought Vedomina up, came out of the Castle, killed the scout hero standing at the exit of the underground, and run out into the Swamp. The opponent writes that he surrenders — ran too far and sees no point in continuing. GG thanks for the game.
