Hold on, if this is the time scheduled by the host, why isn't it posted on the forum? And I'm only finding out about it now; I didn't receive any information about it in my instant messenger...

Finally got rid of this hassle) Thanks for the game!

10/14/2013 Frol off (brown, Necropolis, Galtran), zloy_romantik (green, Fortress, Valeska, Valeska/Jeddit) def Juristis (blue, Swamp, Tazar), Defiant (red, Inferno, Kal'h, Dessa) JC L-U 123

Pit for LM (brown, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar), Iamsamstan (red, Rampart, Ivor, Tyraxor) def wowa (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Kira), KobRa_RR (green, Stronghold, Gundula, Gundula), jebus, 133.
In general, I was lucky to immediately agree on an alliance with red, since the spawn turned out to be very unfortunate.
There were unexpectedly many restarts — either a timer issue with the new version, or Artyom having one road to the Griffin Conservatory, or me having no road to the Griffin Conservatory.
In the end we started, Artyom again had one road to the Griffin Conservatory, but overall, it was apparently not bad, so he decided to play.
My respawn turned out to be normal — 3 hives for a total of 26 dwellers, one Griffin Conservatory for 4 angels, several normal majors. A box for 5k gold. External dwellings — one dragon and one troglodyte. Plus native secondary, Dragon Utopia, library. It would seem, gather everything and come out first through liches and thunderbirds. But the problem turned out to be that the starting army gave 12 gogs, 50 troglodytes, and 18 harpies, which I immediately upgraded and distributed for speed. Nothing to fight with, nothing to level with either, no Pandora's Boxes with troops or experience at all. I couldn't even get into the dragon external dwelling, and the hives were dangerous to take.
As a result, I took the first hive of 6 wyverns only on day 115! On day 116 — the second of 8, I split Shakti under the external dwelling. On day 117 I first changed my mind, wanted to break into the Dragon Utopia and capture the Griffin Conservatory, but the loot that Izra took turned out to be maximal. Almost everything was devoured there, and I had to run to the external dwelling as a Miner. Result — at home: minotaurs in a fort with a portal and Mage Guild, in the secondary — a portal.
With red, everything was very good — two unicorn external dwellings, an elf external dwelling, a Pandora's Box for 10k experience and a Griffin Conservatory of ogre magi. Ivor stayed there overnight on day 117 in boots of speed.
On day 121 I took the maxed Griffin Conservatory and approached the Griffin Conservatory. On day 122 I broke through everyone, took a loot of 12 in the center and a red orb. I immediately gave the orb to Ivor, who over these days had captured a helmet +6 to all, a magnificent Tyraxor from a prison, a shield of the sentinel, a Dragon Utopia with a tome of air, a necklace +3 to all. On the same day, Tazar crawled out of the swamp and took a Dragon Utopia.
On day 123 Tazar was driven back to his swamp (there were only 9 hydras and singles there), and red went to finish off blue. I began to stockpile power.
Day 123 — I took two Pandora's Boxes, useless, unfortunately — 2nd level and all water. Loot +6 in the same place. On day 124 I take the home Dragon Utopia, which gives complete junk — tome of water, shield of the sentinel, and necklace of ocean navigation. On day 125 I upgrade 7 dragons, capture one of the central towns, to which the road only went from my spawn. There I take boots +2 to all and break the guard of two hives. By this time, blue was finished off.
On day 126 I take the red village, next to which is a Dragon Utopia. I bring up the army, to which 14 wyverns were added, break Shakti, take it. It gives a decent reward — a sword +5 to all and a shield +4 to all. And a captain's hat. Green stats shine small, but I have plenty of army. We decide to give the artifacts to me, since we were afraid of shackles (and not in vain, as it turns out).
On day 127 Tyraxor takes a Pandora's Box, which was originally meant to be fed to Gunnar — but the guard is strong, so the barbarian takes it himself. All magic. Not bad, with an additional Dimension Door, a second front of attack on green opens. Right then my first contact — I drive away Luna.
On day 131 I capture the central barbarian, move out with 12 black dragons, 42 dwellers and 4 angels towards the green capital. Artyom, meanwhile, fished somewhere that day, which allowed red to take the capital, and there — an unbought growth. True, we also didn't have much money, so we couldn't buy everything.
On day 132 Gundula attacks Tyraxor in the castle. We didn't fight the battle in the best way, since we expected the opponent to have resurrection, which he didn't. We only destroyed all the monsters, or else armageddon could have thinned them out nicely too :). Gundula remains in the city.
On day 133 I collect all the artifacts, buy additional army. An angelic alliance unexpectedly formed :). But the barbarians were waiting for this. Gundula met me as expected — cloak of condemnation and armor of the damned. Only the sphere of negation was missing. However, that wasn't so important. Without twenty grand bears, the battle was a formality — 13 black dragons with a triple advantage in stats tore everything apart.
Thank you all for the game!

I won't be able to play next week. Maybe we can try sometime tonight or tomorrow evening. Feel free to message me.

19.10.2013 HellLighT(Green,Necro,Galthran), Slayzer(Red,Tower,Neela) def BISHOP(Blue,Inferno,Calh,Tiraxus), Pyre(Brown,Rampart,Ivor) Jebus cross 126

Decent start, right next to the path there were some nice boots lying around :smile08:, Galthran himself with 2 stacks, second came a Gnoll with 3 stacks, which were successfully converted into Skeletons, and they immediately became 120, Septiena granted a wave of death (which played no small role in the game).
On turn 112 I discover that the road which was supposed to lead to the Azure Dragon Utopia leads to grass, I was about to mention a restore, but decided to just go through with it for conscience's sake, immediately fought 18 Master Genies for the Griffin Conservatory, a prison, and an artifact +1 luck, ran further along the road and near the tower-village I grab a Pandora's Box with 24 Griffins with Leadership, and inside... :smile24: :smile24: :smile24:
I decide that if there's an Azure Dragon Utopia by the off-road, I'll play on, Galthran picked Offense, advanced Defense. On turn 113 I dive with single Fairies and Lords into the Griffin Conservatory Trong without looking, and it's max!! Everything was smooth and calculated, except for about 8 consecutive morale procs (no exaggeration, first time I've seen that) right during the Griffin stack swap, at one point only 5 Vampires were left!! but victory remained with the bloodsuckers, and even without losses, the hero sits on an Angel in the main to recover mana and run to where the Azure Dragon Utopia should be, and the rest of the hero shuffle (most of whom were pulled from prisons, about 4-5 were thrown in, the fodder from which was of course subject to ruthless transformation :smile51: ) I found a Black Market and a Lookout Tower, a beautiful view opened up, another Griffin Conservatory and 3 Dragon Fly Hives down a deep crappy path :smile28:, leading the horde was a rescued Pirate with Expert Logistics, and behind them Necromancer apprentices were skulking :smile13: from the market was bought a +1 all stats Necromancy cloak and 2 morale badges, one of which conveniently protected from mind spells) The Azure Dragon Utopia turned out to be 20 Behemoths, and nearby it a Stables and Arena, the exit happened on turn 116 with 3000 speed, but without Pathfinding, so it took 2 days to reach the center, but I more than comfortably broke through everything without mass magic (Behemoths, Devils, upgraded Cyclopes fell on auto-battle) in the treasure zone they give a Pandora's Box with all level 3 spells and a Staff of the Netherworld ring which I almost immediately sold for 20k gold on the respawn, entered the library, took the Citadel near the Inferno exit, the treasure zone turned out to be small and empty, 3 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 of which were inconveniently placed, +15 resistance boots, +2 all stats, +3+3 shield and a Pandora's Box with 3 Archangels (the only worthwhile one), on turn 121 on last moves I reach Ivor without mana and with an army (11 Pit Lords, 10 Wyverns and 25 Dendroid Guards), having 7 Angels (1 Paladin in the second Griffin Conservatory) 300 Skeletons, 3 Archangels, 26 Wyverns, in one turn I take out the Dendroid Guards and 6 Pit Lords, the rest as it seemed to me was immediately bought back, but I never saw them again :smile09: On turn 122 I eat a Dragon Utopia(1) they give Wings, and I start pushing as much as possible, the Rampart uprising was suppressed in 2 turns, but an Inferno player who had clearly gorged himself on Dragon Utopias popped out, his +10 spell power was shining since the middle of the first week! He drives off Slayzer, who had grabbed the unclaimed Hives I hadn't taken, with an exchange of 1 Angel for 7 of the opponent's Wyverns... according to a pre-prepared plan, there's a return to the center, which BISHOP had retaken, via prison and Wings, the beaten Galthran is bought back and catches up to the army on a horse (5 Angels, Wyvern, 4 Efreet 43 Demons) in one turn the Angel brotherhood cuts down four traitor brethren :smile31: :smile36: a buyback follows, I sit in the Citadel town, drive off Briska and kill Calh (who seemed to be a daddy hero too but was afraid to wipe the army) then I'm immediately covered by Tiraxus on leftover fodder and single Efreet, spell power 19, clearly smells of Armageddon, I cast Antimagic on the Archangels, Armageddon flies, halving all unprotected guys, but the opponent is left with 4 Efreet and 15 Demons, I think oh well a wave of death on turn 95 - that's victory, but no, 2 Efreet resist!!! on 5%!! lol omg wtf :smile11: :smile05: I shave off one, and another Armageddon follows, only 3 Archangels and 100 Skeletons remain from the army... sad, but well the opponent didn't have much either, and Brown was basically dying on singles deep in his own respawn without towns, however what worried me was BISHOP having Dimension Door/fly, which could have dragged out the game, but they met me with war, an attempt to kill with a Devil, Efreet Sultan and 6 Pit Fiends through Summoning of 26 Imps (enough for 3 casts) did not succeed, because the Archangels through wait did whatever they wanted (killed the Sultan and Devil) and could simply wait for the end of Antimagic and heal up, another attack with 6 single Pit Fiends, provoking mana waste, which I stupidly did the first time, immediately casting Antimagic and waiting, then comes an attack with a weak hero with 30 mana and level 13 spell power, with a possible explosion this still kills me, but thinking it over I remember I have a Death Wave which shouldn't fail a second time! and so it happened, GG WP :smile03: :smile49: Thanks for the game.

A decent start, right next to the path there were some tasty boots :smile08:, Galthran himself with 2 stacks, second came a Gnoll with 3 stacks, which were successfully converted into skeletons, and there were immediately 120 of them, Septienna granted a Death Wave (which played no small role in the game).
On 112 I discover that the road which was supposed to lead to the GO leads to grass, I was about to complain about the rest, but decided to finish it out half-heartedly for conscience's sake, immediately fought 18 Master Genies for the Conservatory, a prison, and a +1 Luck artifact, ran further along the road and near the tower-village grabbed a Pandora's Box with 24 Griffins with Grandmaster Scholar, and there... :smile24: :smile24: :smile24:
I decide that if there is a GO on the broken road, I'll play, Galthran picked up Offense, upgraded Defense. On 113 I dive with single Fairies and Lords into the Conservatory Tron without looking, and it's max!! Everything was smooth and calculated, except for about 8 consecutive morale procs (no exaggeration, first time I've seen that) right during the Griffin stack swap, at one point only 5 Vampires were left!! but victory went to the bloodsuckers, and without losses, Goshan sits on an Angel in the main to restore mana and run to where the GO should be, and the rest of the hero shuffle (most of whom were pulled from prisons, about 4-5 were tossed in, the meat from which was of course subject to ruthless transformation :smile51: ) discovered a Black Market and an Observatory, a beautiful view opened up, another Conservatory and 3 Dragon Fly Hives along a deep nasty road :smile28:, leading the horde was a rescued Pire with Expert Logistics, and behind them Necromancer apprentices scurried :smile13: from the market a +1 all stats armor, a Necromancy robe, and 2 morale badges were bought, one of which conveniently provided Mind Magic immunity) the GO turned out to be 20 Gray Bears, and nearby a Stable and an Arena, I exited on 116 with 3000 speed, but without Pathfinding, so it took 2 days to reach the center, yet more than successfully breaking through everything without Mass Magic (Bears, Devils, Grizzled Bulls went down on autobattle) in the treasure zone they give a full level 3 Pandora's Box and a KV ring which I almost immediately sold for 20k gold at respawn, entered the Library, took the Citadel near the Inferno exit, the treasure zone turned out to be small and empty, 3 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 of which were inconveniently placed, +15 resistance boots, +2 all stats, a +3+3 shield and a Pandora's Box with 3 Arch Angels (the only worthy one), on 121 on last moves I reach Ivor without mana and with an army (11 Behemoth Lords, 10 Wyverns and 25 Grand Elves), having 7 Angels (1 Paladin in the second Conservatory) 300 Skeletons, 3 Arch Angels, 26 Wyverns, in one turn I wipe out the Grand Elves and 6 Behemoth Lords, the rest as it seemed to me was immediately resurrected, but I never saw them again :smile09: On 122 I eat a Dragon Utopia(1) they give Wings, and I start to pressure as much as possible, the Rampart rebellion was crushed in 2 turns, but the Inferno player showed up nicely fed on Dragon Utopias, +10 spell power which was glowing since the middle of the first week! Drives off Slayzer, who had launched his claws at the Dragon Fly Hives I didn't take, with an exchange of 1 Angel and 7 Wyverns of the opponent... according to a pre-arranged plan, a return to the center captured by Bishop through a prison and Wings follows, the defeated Galthran is bought back and catches up to the army on a horse (5 Angels, a Wyvern, 4 Sultans, 43 Demons) in one turn the Angel brotherhood cuts down four traitor brethren :smile31: :smile36: a resurrection follows, I sit in the citadel town, drive off Brissa and kill Calh (who also seemed to be a daddy, but was afraid to wipe out the army) then I'm immediately hit by Tyraxor on leftover meat and single Efreets, spell power 19, clearly smells of Armageddon, I cast Anti-Magic on the Arch Angels, Armageddon flies, halving all unprotected guys, but the opponent is left with 4 Efreets and 15 Demons, I think well a Death Wave on 95 is the win, not so, 2 Efreets resist!!! at 5%!! lol omg wtf :smile11: :smile05: I shave off one, and another Armageddon follows, only 3 Arch Angels and 100 Skeletons remain from the army... sad, but well the opponent had even less, and the brown player was dying on singles deep in his respawn without towns, however what worried me was Bishop having Dimension Door/fly, which could have dragged out the game, but I was met with war, an attempt to kill with a Devil, a Sultan, and 6 Pits through summoning 26 Imps (enough for 3 casts) was unsuccessful, because the Arch Angels through Wait did what they wanted (killed the Sultan and the Devil) and could simply wait for the Anti-Magic to end and heal up, another attack with 6 single Pits, provoking mana waste, which I stupidly did the first time, casting Anti-Magic immediately and waiting, then comes an attack with a weakling with 30 mana and 13 spell power, with a possible explosion it still kills me, but thinking it over I remember that I have a Wave, which shouldn't fail me a second time! and that's what happened, GG WP :smile03: :smile49: Thanks for the game.
