Javdet (red, Conflux, Lacus) def HellLighT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) 8mm6a 222

We ran for a long time; no control was given in the Dragon Utopia or in the scrolls. I built as many as 4 towers and finally got Town Portal and Dimension Door. No final battle happened — the meat advantage was enormous (160+ Storms, 16 birds etc.). And just in time for the finale, I picked up the bracers.

Thanks for the game.I confirm; I built two level 5 GMs with a library in the Tower and another two level 4s, no control, the opponent successfully pushed me away from the center and the main accordingly, the only Dragon Utopia in that corner had 2 captain hats and a bag of gold! Having waited for double growth in the main, I crush Shakti and break the Dragon Utopia near the respawn with an explosion; they give wings, I start moving toward the treasure zone where 2 more Dragon Utopias were spotted, that's where I get taken down near one of them, on the last turn I picked up a Town Portal scroll — look what I could have gathered in 1 turn if they had given it to me (screen), thanks for the game.

It gave 2 native dwellings, but no bows. On T1 I built a stable and a Citadel. Then the scout hero took a mini Griffin Conservatory and went into the treasure zone, there was nothing special, only a mini Dragon Fly Hive and there was a red orb in case the opponent built Mage Guild 2 since Solmir appeared on T1 and then apparently didn't show up again.

On T3 the scout heroes fought, followed by a surrender. It wasn't great there.

Thanks for the game

Played the first week terribly, wanted to surrender around 114-115 somewhere, but it turned out all the good stuff just needed to be scouted: besides the home Griffin Conservatory (revealed on day 1, Troglodyte) there were 3 Griffin Conservatories on the barbarian secondary town (2+2+4) + an external marketplace + boots, and a single Griffin Conservatory on the native secondary town. Farmed all of that by about 133, and the Dungeon army led by 12 Angels headed towards the opponent (ГО was not on the way, so roads led to 1 secondary town from both me and the opponent). We met on 136, the opponent had only 13 Liches, 12 Wyverns, 8 Black Knights, and 270 Skeletons as their main stacks, while I had 12 Angels, 220+ Grand Troglodytes, 13 Grand Minotaurs, and shooting 35 Grand Eyes with 18 Medusas + mass spells, the finale went without a chance. Thanks for the game.

Dimast (red Castle Valya) def amigo-sasha (blue Necro Isra) 123 smka
Great spawn: 3 external dwellings of archers, Griffin Conservatory, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, lots of stat-boosting structures and money buildings on the respawn, a Rampart with an external dwelling of cavaliers by the water elementals. The only thing was that I didn't get any pleasure from executing the round — the opponent had a bug, couldn't find an exit, kept skipping turns, suggested I fly into the basement, then the bug went away after a restart and the exits appeared, then some other eternal problems. On 123 he decided to surrender. Thanks for the game

We replayed the round for fun, added a 1500r bet, another victory, after which the opponent disappeared, left the lobby, went offline everywhere, I think he won't show up again))

how will we manage without our wordsmith? =(
he came up with lines that made iambic and choreic meters nervously smoke in the corner.

We replayed a match, added a 1500 ruble stake for fun, and won again, after which the opponent disappeared, left the game, went offline everywhere, I think he won't show up again))

Group 4, 09/03/2013. BISHOP (red, Tower, Anya, Clavius) def. HellLighT (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 131, 8xm12a
We met on map 115 with fast roads. The opponent tried to attack and take resources. After the initial encounter, he refused to engage, and my main hero, Clavius, wasn't intimidating enough, even with the captured Necropolis computer hero. He retreated to his base. I decided not to attack directly but instead moved to a nearby Necropolis, where Pandora, with all her earth magic, quickly eliminated the enemy. On turn 126, Tazar appeared with 3 angels, 3 hydras, and a pack of vipers, but it was already too late...
Thanks for the game!

He's from Belarus and thought you were playing for 1500 Belarusian rubles, and then, when he found out the truth, he was upset :(
