28.07.2013 The_ (blue, dungeon, Shakti) def u2noob (red, castle, Valeska, Mullich) JC 124.

Opponent chose all restarts, while I still had two left.

Shakti came with three stacks and a speed +1 pendant, Lorelei was in the tavern, but I didn't restart because I managed to perfectly break an external dwelling of drakes (guarded by 25 upgraded Medusae). Scouted the big Griffin Conservatory, several hives. Ran Shakti through the stables, got the Boots, was given Earth magic. Though there was no Oil anywhere (only got it in the third guild). After that just collected respawn, through splitting, ended up with 5 hives for 26 dragons, two Griffin Conservatories for 6 angels, got a Shield +4 All, Sword +6. In the Citadel 12346. On day 121 Shakti doubles mana to 240 and stands right in front of the GO on an angel.

GO 40+ Death Knights, they fall without a problem, I run towards the opponent's respawn (I saw his respawn through scouting), in the treasure zone I get the Red Orb, Boots +2 All, Pandora's Box for 15 Archmagi, +12 Plate Armor, a box for 20k gold, a box for 15k experience, take the Dragon Fly Hive (6), the Library, Sphere of Earth (the regular shooter was hitting for 400+ :)).
With a scout hero I see that Mullich is standing at 124 in front of the GO on Archangels, I break the GO of 30+ bears with Haste, attack Mullich and there's a surrender (all my wealth is nearby on a scout hero, which Shakti can also reach, there's no gold for ransom there).

Thanks for the game and your time.

28.07.2013 Recordjke(blue, Conflux, Gelare, Tant) def shameonyou(red, Tower, Solmyr) 2sm4d(3), 116

I learned a lot of new things for myself, thanks for the game!

28.07.13 Mar (blue, Forge, random Monere, Galthran) def nitro43 (red, Rampart, Kyrre) 8mm6a, 147.
On month 2, Gosha arrived; at week 1, day 12, I saw the Cloak of the Undead King, and we went. On week 1, day 15, I take 120 skeletons to maximize the gnome with a large stack; the birds in the fort become scarce, with difficulty.
At the end of week 3, I come out of a one-way passage with a scout hero; my opponent meets him with Archangels. O.o Okay. On week 4, day 1, I see two Dragon Utopias (one max, another mini); I raised parameters and went to visit my opponent. On week 4, day 6, I take my opponent’s main castle with Gosha and a computer one with Archangels and a mage. My opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game.

Scouted the big Griffin Conservatory, several hives. Ran Shakti through the stables, took the boots, got earth magic. Though there was no oil anywhere (only got it in the third guild). Then I just collected the respawn, through splitting, ending up with 5 hives for 26 ducks, two Griffin Conservatories for 6 angels, took a shield +4 all and sword +6. Citadel 12346. On 121, Shakti doubles mana to 240 and stands right in front of the GO on an angel.

GO 40+ knights of death, they fall without issue, I run towards the opponent's respawn (saw his respawn through scout), in the treasure zone I take the red orb, +2 all boots, a Pandora's box of 15 archmages, +12 plate, a box of 20k gold, a box of 15k experience, I take the Dragon Fly Hive (6), library, sphere of earth magic (the regular shooter was hitting for 400+ :)).
I see with a scout hero that Mullich on 124 stands before the GO on archangels, I break the GO of 30+ bears with Giant Slayer, attack Mullich and a surrender follows (all my army is nearby on a scout hero, which Shakti can also reach, there's no gold for buybacks there).

Thanks for the game and time.

07/28/2013 Javdet (red Inferno, Hulk, Nyamus) def The_ (blue Barbarian, Craig) 2sm4d3 114

Thanks for the rematch.

Thanks for the game!

07/28/13 Sanin (red, random, Tower, Aine, Tazar) def Scorpiona (blue, random, Castle, Sorcha, Broghild) 8mm6a 142

After a long game, they reached the battle (see screenshot).
Tazar 8 19 7 5 (29) Expertise: defense, ranged attack, air, basic attack, +2 to speed.
Broghild 12 18 6 7 (70) Expertise: defense, attack, earth.
The difference in mana is offset by the presence of mages and a single Pegasus in Tazar's army.
After several desynchronizations, Scorpiona refused to continue.
This battle is won by Tazar; what happens next is unclear, and both sides have potential. But refusing to play = surrender. Thank you for the game.

07/27/2013 kalababa (red, Rampart, Ivory, Enova) def SVAROG (blue, Castle, Valia, Aislin) 2sm4d(3), 144
We played in several rounds. I remember that after one treasure hunt, I went to the opponent through the Gate of the Overlord, and there was an epic battle where I was left with 2 groups of harpies + 5 unicorns against 200 skeletons. Since the opponent was attacking and couldn't reach me due to the terrain, he had to retreat. Then there were some small skirmishes with his weak units, and we exchanged main heroes. But in the end, the opponent destroyed Aislin, didn't have time to return his hero to my former main base - so he surrendered. Thanks for the game.
