18.10.13 Juristis (red, Conflux, random, Monere) def Zwei (blue, Swamp, Wystan) 123 2sm4d(3)
Medium roads, respawn is small, but there is a Univers (nothing good was there though), external market, a couple of crypts and air and water external dwellings. On the first week I picked up secondary skills from Citadel and Swamp, placed birds in the Citadel, captured the external dwellings, Monere with earth magic, Ciele with defense.
At the start of the second week I destroyed 2 mini-medusa huts, Monere learned Slow and went on 123 to the three-month map, where there is a mini Dragon Fly Hive. On his turn the opponent surrenders and concedes.
Thx for playing!

confirm, thx

We played a second game, because in the first one it turned out all my exits to the center drowned in the sea.
Starting with 160 Troglodytes, I spotted a couple of Dwarf Cottages, headed there with my miner. I took the Dwarf Cottage on 112, but it turned out to be minimal; I spotted another one nearby - went there, again a minimal. On 114, I stand at the portal to the General zone with the computer (the computer is also Dungeon), miner with Loga, Bless, and Haste. A message arrives from the opponent about a surrender. Thanks for the games and good luck.

LeBron (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Deemer) def Alone (red, necropolis, Clavius) skirmish m200%, 124

A very unexpected and pleasant template draft for me :)
On W1 I painted all mines, took the external dwelling of my minions, they are also in the fort with a portal, income 4350.
On W2 Deemer breaks into the adjacent zone off-road, where he paints a castle village, reveals a Griffin Conservatory and 2 Dragon Fly Hives, the army is transferred to the other flank to Shakti, who breaks through 16 Master Genies and 40 Medusas, grabs the Griffin Conservatory 2nd dwelling right under the opponent's nose, and returns it back on the same turn, Deemer breaks into the zone where the opponent's village is, ready to snatch the Boots of Speed and the +2+2 artifact, but the necro player panics and merges into the maxed Griffin Conservatory :smile04:
Thank you for the game!

In the first game, I took three horse huts, gave Ivor earth expertise (I also found a Crystal Mine on my base), built horses in the castle, and elves in the fortress in the second week.
In the second game, I rushed to the center through simple Vivs and Hydras, ate a couple of Pandors for experience. My opponent moves to the center, but loses a lot of his army and immediately gets hit by a powerful attack, so gg.
Thanks for the game!

19.10.2013 LeBron (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Deemer) def Alone (red, necropolis, Сlavius) skirmish m200%, 124

A very unexpected and pleasant template roll for me :)
On day 1, I claimed all mines, took the minotaur external dwelling, which was also in the fort with a portal, income 4350.
On day 2, Deemer roadless charges into the adjacent zone, where he claims a castle town, reveals the Griffin Conservatory and 2 Dragon Fly Hives, the army is transferred to the other flank to Shakti, who breaks through 16 master genies and 40 medusas, snatches the Griffin Conservatory level 2 from under the opponent's nose and returns it on the same turn, Deemer bursts into the zone where the opponent's town is, ready to take the boots and the +2+2 artifact, but the necromancers panic and max-surrender the Griffin Conservatory :smile04:
Thank you for the game!

and what templates were left for red to choose from? skirmish and....??

red, in the 1st generation) skirmish and competitive

Yeah, I chose a map with weak monsters for the Necropolis faction. And considering that chests don't provide experience, and the secondary skills of the Necropolis are just... well, never mind. 12 skeletons in a week won't solve anything.

well, I was the one who chose.

but I was the one who chose it

well, then the question arises: how did he not mark this template, and where are all the HL maps and L)))

LeBron (red, Dungeon, Shakty) def u2noob (blue, Rampart, Ivor) 122 JC

There's not much to say, on turn 121, he was supposed to reach the center with 6 Angels, 8 Red Dragons, and 13 Ducks, but he messed up and the chain didn't work out. As a result, his hero spent one turn near the Gate of Oblivion, and on the next turn, he surrendered :(

Thank you for your time!

19.10.13 marajan (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def злой_романтик (red, Necropolis, Clavius, Tamika) Mini-Nostalgia 144

Started without resets. I took Castle, Swamp, and Barbarian.
Castle had an external dwelling of Manticores, I took it on 111, there is a Stable and right behind it a GO to the center into the Underground (the herd of horses is not upgraded)
By 114 I had all the computer's castles. Though the Swamp player was still alive.
On the first week I found 2 Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Utopia in the Swamp treasure zone. Both Griffin Conservatories turned out to be fat, one maxed without upgraded stacks. Shakti grabbed basic Earth Magic, a plan was formed.
On the second week I leveled up Earth Magic, and on 124 with 13 Scorpicores and single Harpies, the Griffin Conservatory fell with the loss of 1 Scorpicore) then I ressed to the Castle respawn and take the 3rd Griffin Conservatory with upgrades, without losses. On 126 the 2nd Dragon Utopia falls.
On 127 I break the GO of 60 horses and dive into the Underground, there are Giants until 49, I check with a scout hero, there is an upgraded stack, I have doubts.. but I attack, it falls easily, dunno why I doubted.
On the third week I take another Dragon Utopia in the center.
I push into the opponent, in the center I also revealed the Air Book, but no way to take it yet. I take the opponent's main town, then Rampart, the brown player is still alive) messed up a couple of my scout heroes. In the Rampart treasure zone I grab 3 Dragon Utopias, in the first one I got Wings! I break into Necropolis, take a nearby Pandora's Box for 4th level. Tamika is gathering skeletons somewhere. Town Portal to a village in the Swamp treasure zone, there a Dragon Utopia and 2 Pandora's Boxes were just visible, I grab everything, and finally, in one Pandora's Box there is 5th level Magic, and I also very luckily grabbed Air in the last slot. I go to crush the opponent. He defended his main, and I very luckily, not hoping for much, he remained in the Castle to replenish mana and I catch him in Necropolis. He had little mana, like 80, against my 450.
700+ skeletons and 19 Wyverns, I have 9 Archers, 24 Scorpicores, and single Pegasi. GG
thanks for the game

10.20.13 Sanin (Red, Tower, Neela, Gunnar) def Simon5760 (Blue, Conflux, random, Thunar, Ignissa) Jebus Cross 124

Started without rests. On the first day, I saw an external dwelling of nagas and a convenient Dragon Fly Hive, decided to see what's further. On the second day, I saw a dungeon village in one direction, and in the other, two Griffin Conservatories, a Cape of Speed, and a village right next to the ГО. The ГО was double — 3 Crystal Dragons and 60 gr. unicorns. Not chocolate, of course, but playable. I didn't want to waste my rest, was waiting for the opponent's rest, but it never came.
In the end, I take the external dwelling of nagas, portal into the dungeon, clear a chain +4 and a shield +5, as well as scrolls of Meteor Shower and Dimension Door, and take the Dragon Fly Hive for six Wyverns. At the end of the week, Gunnar stands on the first Conservatory, at home nagas in the Citadel. Gunnar has Air Magic and Pathfinding, no Attack or Defense.
On day 121, I buy out all nagas everywhere, upgrade them, and Gunnar takes two Conservatories, for a total of 5 angels.
On day 122, I pick up the Cape of Speed, break through the ГО. After the ГО, 4 angels, 12 nagas, and 80 gremlins survive. In the center, let's say, it was rather empty...
On day 123, I break through the ГО (Black Knights) to the neighboring grass respawn, lose all gremlins, two nagas, and an angel; there I grab a Conservatory (which lured me there :D), but it's minimal... I sit in my village to replenish mana. On my turn, the opponent bursts into the center.
What to do next is not entirely clear. The army is laughable, stats aren't great either, no offense or defense. From the fact that the opponent doesn't clear 5-9 titans behind a Pandora's Box on the way, I conclude that things aren't super great over there either. On day 124, I decide to go further into the center, maybe I'll grab something. Looking ahead, it would be a long chase with rebuilding the castle on the neighboring respawn and eating up the aforementioned respawn, but it all ends this same turn when Ignissa, with an army as laughable as Gunnar's, charges at 20-49 giants.
Thanks for the game!

20.10 group F: BAJIEHOK (red, Rampart, random, Uland, Ivor) def Lem (blue, Rampart, random, Melodia, Crag), Jebus Cross, 125
On the first day I took three external Centaur dwellings, gave Ivor Expert Earth Magic (also found KZ on the respawn), built Centaurs in the castle and Elves in the fort in the second town.
On the second day I broke into the center through simple Wyverns and Hydras, ate a couple of Pandora's Boxes for experience. Opponent enters the center, but on GO lost a lot of army, and then immediately put himself under an attack of the main force, so GG.
Thanks for the game!

Group F, ready to play, hit me up!

confirming.

from the external dwellings there was only a Pegasus dwelling, took three Pandora's Boxes: for 50 Centaurs, for 20+ gr dwarves, and for 20 gr Pegasi. From 4 Dragon Fly Hives I collected 26 Dragon Flies, but I understood that it would be bad without Oil, so I started building the Mage Guild in the second town early, but it turned out to be total garbage. On GO there were Efreeti, which, understandably, killed me.

Thanks for the game.
