The setup is cool, half-map zone, two external Troglodyte dwellings. On the second week I take a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, move forward and encounter my opponent, and things are looking bad there.
Thanks for the game!

The layout is great, half-map zone, two external Troglodyte dwellings. On the second week, I take a Griffin Conservatory lv2, move forward and meet the opponent, and things go badly there.
Thanks for the game!

Pity about the surrender ( thanks for the game

04.10.2013 kesa (Red Necropolis Clavius Clavius) def 0771 (Blue Rampart Kyrre Kyrre) 146 2sm4d(3).
A decent respawn, but very long roads. External dwelling of necro horses (took it on day 117) and dragons (took it only on the 2nd week), one Griffin Conservatory 1. Guards on the adjacent zone were very unpleasant: 50+ orcs and 10+ snipers. After gathering 100+ bones, I took the Griffin Conservatory, then the external dwelling of horses, and fought my way into the adjacent zone through the orcs. Clavius was given Earth Magic immediately, but as soon as I had Expert in all 3 skills, I was saddled with Scouting; however, it paid off, because as I entered the adjacent zone, 2 Dragon Utopias were almost immediately revealed. There was another Griffin Conservatory 1 in the adjacent zone; after taking it on day 125, I split my army to go home to pick up the external dwelling of dragons, where there was also a Pandora's Box. On day 127, I took the external dwelling and the Pandora's Box with 5k experience for 100+ water elementals.
On day 131, I split my army back into the adjacent zone and ran into the treasure zone. In the first Dragon Utopia, I got a Helm +6 all and Armor +1 all; in the second — a Cuirass 4 4 and a Shield 12 -3. I also took a Cape for +2 to speed from the treasure zone. I gathered 20+ wyverns, split my army, and went to the castle on day 142. On day 143, the opponent arrived with wings.
I had a stack of 400+ skeletons, 19 necro horses, 6 ghost dragons, 20+ wyverns, and chaff.
The opponent had 6 angels, 80+ grand elves, with a Golden Bow, 16 wyverns, and lots of chaff.
Stats were roughly equal.
With basic tactics on necro ground and the Cape +2, the horses charged straight into the grand elves. In the end, we traded off; the opponent lost 40+ grand elves, all wyverns, 2 angels, and chaff. I lost all dragons, 2 wyverns, 2 necro horses, about 100 skeletons.
The next day, I doubled my mana in a secondary dungeon and, after splitting my army in the main, I rushed to attack the main enemy hero. On day 145, the opponent flew in from his main and holed up in my castle. I had no choice but to attack. Before that, I captured a Shrine with Protection from Earth.
Apart from the wyverns, no one could fly over the walls, so I just stood there and bombarded the opponent with archery for 255 damage each time. The opponent tried to blow up the necro horses, but with Protection from Earth, the explosion only dealt 500+. The opponent ran out of mana, while I still had 300 skeletons and 10+ necro horses left. GG.

Thanks for the game

05.10.13 Simon5760 (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack) def Pingvinyashka (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Marius) 132 JC

On 111 I took a Pandora's Box for 5k, expertized Earth Magic, and then everything went smoothly "like butter")) though the respawn turned out to be very long; the only worthwhile things were 2 external dwellings of birds, 1 Griffin Conservatory (1), and I even lost the bear when I was capturing the bird dwelling. The Pandora's Box gave 120 Goblins, with them I took a Dragon Utopia 1, which gave me a Chalice and a Necklace +3 +3, and then everything went without a hitch. I collected Dragon Fly Hives in the treasure zone and went to find the opponent, found him and gg

Thanks for the game!

on 111 I took a Pandora's Box for 5k, expertized Earth magic, and then everything went like clockwork)) truth be told, the respawn was huge, the only worthwhile stuff was 2 external dwellings of birds, 1 Griffin Conservatory(1), I even lost my bear when I took the bird external dwelling, in the Pandora's Box I got 120 goblins, with them I took 1 Dragon Utopia, got a chalice and a necklace +3 +3, and then it went without any problems, I collected Dragon Fly Hives in the treasure zone and went to find the opponent, found him and game over

Thanks for the game!

I confirm. There were two external dwellings of elves right away, a Griffin Conservatory (one) and a minimal Dragon Fly Hive. The goodies ended there. Marius beat a 10k Pandora's Box. Tactics: Expert + Loga Expert. Spent about a week, knocked off a few artifacts. Never got Earth magic, in the end I suffered heavily from everyone in the treasure zone and didn't manage to knock off anything serious. The opponent with control, stats, a bunch of ducks, and shackles shut me down.
Thanks for the game.

06.10.2013.Roger-ua (blue, dungeon, Shakti) def Slot_D (red, Citadel, Crag Hack) 2sm4d(3).135.
The opponent chose his resets. Then he asked for a reset on the block of level 10-19 creatures near the Castle, and I agreed. I wonder how the judges evaluate such a block in tournament games?
On turn 111, Shakti with 3 stacks, but 3 heroes, though the Griffin Conservatory is visible. On turn 112, the Griffin Conservatory is level 1. In the first week, I build 12345 in the Castle, and take a Barbarian secondary hero. The second secondary hero is cut off by a shifted ГО. I also check the Griffin Conservatory 2-4. I buy Shakti a spell book and double his mana. On turn 121, I take the Griffin Conservatory — it turns out to be level 3. On turn 123, I go into the treasure zone and take an external dwelling of Firebirds, and see the red player. I take over the treasure zone. And I make a mistake again — it never occurred to me to portal the birds. Crag Hack captures my capital on turn 127. On turn 134, Crag Hack captures my secondary town, and Shakti stands on a portal, cutting off Crag Hack from reinforcements. On turn 135, Fireball. The opponent writes "GG" without making a single move.
Thanks for the game!
Shakti rules against Crag Hack! Preparation for the favorites.

Confirm, we played Jebus Cross L with 16+6+1 control (pretty nice impressions from such control) and finished on 125 )

Overall my army was bigger it turns out), 26 wyverns, 10 gr. unicorns, 28 grand elves, 2 basilisks, (4 gr. basilisks and 15 rocs - from pandora's boxes) and 15 gr. pegasi but stats were almost 2 times lower 11 13 2 9, expert archery, offense, tactics, earth, advanced wisdom, homes on week 1 unicorns in Castle with 1 their dwelling, in Barbarian town basilisks in fort, in Inferno town 4 Mage Guilds with town portal but Ivor had no wisdom by that time, at home respawn I collected 3 Dragon Fly Hives. Came out late on 123 and immediately recaptured prison with Gunnar lvl 20, killed him 2 scout heroes. On 124 Gundula on her turn could have attacked but didn't for some reason, Ivor captured a pandora's box for all magic - levels 4,3,2,1, jumped into the central Barbarian town and ran up to the two scouted Dragon Fly Hives, with boots of speed and sword +12/-3 - but didn't make it and decided to break through 5-9 angels with a scout hero then collect 2 Dragon Fly Hives and the sword with Gunnar and return everything to Ivor, but there turned out to be 9 with a gr. stack and they hacked my army)) the gr. stack also cast morale twice(, got upset, asked for auto and got a refusal(( next time I'll be more careful

Tnx for game

Roger-ua (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def Slot_D (red, Citadel, Crag Hack) 2sm4d(3).135.
Opponent has a Griffin Conservatory near the castle and an external dwelling of Phoenixes on the secondary, I don't even have any hives.
At the meeting I had 2 Beholders, 5 Roc + meat, opponent had 4 Angels, 2 Phoenixes, 190 gr. Troglodytes + meat, I had to run, but what's the point, opponent cleared the entire treasure zone. In general, I'm disappointed in heroes, too much randomness in generation =(

ggwp.thx

p.s. Crag sucks

I agree – Kregg has become quite powerful; they simply didn't give him any magic, so try to break through his defenses with brute force. And even when you do break through, there's nothing in his Dragon Shrine.
