11/1/13 Tovariщ (Blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def. Nitro (Red, Fortress, Kaitlin, Jabarkas) jebus cross 133. Thanks for the game!

31.10.10 wariator (red, Citadel, Crag Hack) def marajan (blue, Dungeon, Miner), Jebus Cross, 134, Late exit due to a drop on 117! Meeting in the treasure zone around 132-133 somewhere! The armies are generally comparable, but Crag Hack has attack close to 20, while the Miner has a blue cap and enough mana for one implosion, which he used to kill almost all the cyclopes — only 2 remained out of 14! Then a melee where Crag Hack softened up the Miner and he fled on 5 vivas! Then, a turn later, a surrender follows due to the opponent's mistakes! Thanks for the game!

02.11.2013 The_ (blue, necro, Galthran) def Heroi_HP (red, Rampart, Kyrre) JC 131.

A juicy game came out.

We played by the favorites' rules, I decided to take necro, since Dungeon clearly screws me over ))

Stable near the castle, roads relatively clear - we play anyway. At home I didn't find any hives (one for 4 Wyverns), but there were two Griffin Conservatories (2+2), an external dragon dwelling, Pandora's Boxes, an external horse dwelling.
A large number of easy guards + imps allowed me to make 500 skeletons in a week. Decided to stay home and break the Dragon Utopia, got mediocre stuff (DU level 2) +3 all stats, bag of gold, ring of sulfur, and ribs. With this loot I went to the center, where red was already at 124. In the center I kept following Kyrre closely, though there were enough goodies, I took a sword +5 attack from gold dragons, a +4 attack shield from bone dragons, and snatched sandals +2 attack from under their nose. Broke a GO to another zone - there I found two large Griffin Conservatories, at home already Mage Guild 3, on the way to the central castle - Kyrre attacks, stats are lower, army: 33 Wyverns, 6 Angels, 4 Ghost Dragons, 15 Horses, and single Horses, 100 mana, I have 400+ skeletons (bitten in the treasure zone), 4 Wyverns, 4 Ghosts, 4 Angels, 20 Centaurs, 4 Liches, 7 Knights. In the first round, thanks to tactics, I set up right next to the opponent, I cast oil and wait for victory )). Yeah right, implosion flies for 1200 into the skeletons - half gone. But thanks to speed I manage to cut the angel stack, singles and 20+ Wyverns, the lightning given in the box (all air magic without Wisdom) helped a lot, hitting even without buffs for 500+.
Opp, continuing to spam explosions, also cuts my troops.
In the end, 4 Liches remain against 3 Wyverns and 11 Horses. I plan to cast lightning again and run, but opp buys himself out. Then the Dragon Fly Hives attack, but Galthran has expert tactics, + reanimated 20+ skeletons from that battle. I drive off the first Hive, then three or four more, opp runs out of time, Kyrre stays in the castle with horses, I bring the last scraps of troops, 2 Vampires, 7 Skeletons, and attack Kyrre in the castle, with 7 Skeletons, 2 Vampires and Skeletons). Heroin writes to me: "have I heard about cleansing the undead" :). But casting arrow at the Skeletons, he escapes through the castle's back door )), though in doing so he overwrites the Hive with KZ, a new week begins, followed by surrender.
At home the next turn Mage Guild 4 was ready, with Town Portal, and Mage Guild 5 would give explosion).

Thanks for a very interesting game!

02.11.2013 freesha (red, random, Rampart, random, Roland, Vedomina) def Lipsi (blue, random, Rampart, random, Ivor, Ivor) Jebus 121.

01.11.2013 identity(blue, Necropolis, Clavius) def Akella(red, Dungeon, Tazar) 8mm6a 136

Start in the underground, but immediately visible are 2 Dwarf Cottages and an external dwelling of skeletons. In the first week, I killed a neutral stack that somehow found a shield +4 and a ring of luck/morale. At the start of the second week, I tried to go into the center, but after encountering a block of 50+ Ice Elementals, I decided not to go further. I recalled home and went to the corner treasure zone, picking up a Dragon Fly Hive of 8 Wyverns along the way. Around this time, Clavius finally experts Necromancy, so skeletons start accumulating very quickly. There's nothing interesting in the treasure zone, only a single Dragon Utopia. On day 132, I take it with 8 Horsemen, Dwarves, and 450 skeletons. The dragons eat all the Dwarves, and from the useful loot, they only give a Flask +2 HP. With the remnants of the army, I run to the center, picking up a Griffin Conservatory with 2 Angels along the way. There's not much to do in the center, but from the guards and external dwellings of Peasants, I gather another 300 bones. On day 135, I find a broken portal and go to the opponent; the tavern shows an advantage in army and stats. The next day, I kill the scout hero and the opponent surrenders — he has nothing to kill the bones with.
Thanks for the game!
