03.11.2013 Oldboy (blue, stronghold, dessa) def RaiseTheDead (red, necropolis, galtran), Jebus, 122

Not that I won, I just don't know what else to do here besides write a report. At the start of my turn 122, the opponent reported that he had a bug - at the end of turn 121 he was taking the Griffin Conservatory, but took it in the last second, didn't have time to press OK in the window where he received troops, and the angels didn't get added to the army. So it would be great if I gave an auto 117.
I'm not averse to investigating various bugs on the side, so I asked again - did you have a free slot in your army? To which the opponent replied - yes.
Furthermore, I faced the prospect of replaying the entire turn 121 (since the opponent only noticed the bug after receiving turn 122), the time was 3:15 AM, we had aimed to play until about 3 AM initially, so I suggested we go to sleep and give the saves to the judges in the morning to verify that the bug had indeed occurred. The opponent expressed the thought, why bother the judges - it's not a tournament game. OK, the next morning I looked for someone on ICQ to help, Yostairs agreed. We both sent him our passwords. But upon checking, it turned out there was no free slot in Galtran's army.
When I asked the opponent - do you agree that there was no bug, and it's just a matter of him not having time to move, he stopped communicating with me altogether. And that's fine.

Vatya (blue, Castle, Valya, Citadel) def CrazyDuck (red, Dungeon, Miner) SMKA 123

I was stopped from the last restart by a stable under the town, built archers, and the Citadel. By turn 114 I realize there's simply nowhere to go, since both passages to the portals to the secondary zones are blocked by 10-19 gr pegasi and 50-99 gr orcs. There's simply no wood, no gold, barely managed to stick the horses in the fort. On turn 121 I don't even have gold to buy out 9 miserable archers, 4 heroes are nervously smoking near the teleports!! But!!! there is a Citadel with oil!!!

On turn 121, with great difficulty (lucky that it didn't come to "F***ING MORALE") I took a mini-gnome. Bought up, and immediately take a Naga dwelling on level 4. Same deal, f***ing morale leads to a wipe. Thankfully I crawled out somehow (at the end the archers went into melee against the Nagas), got a bit of gold, full buyout, upgrade of the miserable 4 horses in the stable and go for a Conservatory double. Conservatory fell much easier, Champion speed-up gives its advantages.

I broke through 18 pegasi for the ramp secondary, broke through 55 orcs for the double, sent horses to collect gold. But on turn 123 the insolent Miner shows up. The Citadel is right in the middle of the spawn on an Angel, speeding up. I gather the troops into a stack, stop by a well on the way, and attack.
From my army, the decent stuff is 25 archers, 2 Angels, and 4 horses. The opponent has 30+ Eyes, 100+ Trogs, 6 Medusas, 6 Harpies, and 6 Minotaurs. This battle was such a pain... The opponent on Tactics covered the Eye, with Haste wiped out all my archers with Trogs (a bad trade for me). Mana is 40, ranged attacks deal 40 damage and he's covered from all sides. Plus the terrain is such that you can barely get through. I already thought I'd have to buy back 1-2 Angels (they barely entered the fight, using Wait to strike and retreat + healing) but the opponent blocked his main damage stack of 6 Minotaurs with Tactics so they could barely get out. In the end, we played it out so that I take out 5 Minotaurs with ranged + Angels and block the Eye. GG

Vatya (blue, Castle, Valya) def Rockmashine (red, Citadel, Crag Hack, Mullich) SMKA 122

On turn 111 I was totally blown away!!! Of course we play!!! Further on it showed that there's no gold on the map for either of us at all, again barely managed to get horses in the fort, but the sight of archers and 3 Conservatories warmed my soul. After discussing with the opponent, I sent him my screenshot, after which it was an unambiguous GG since there was nothing to counter with at all and nothing was in sight in the future. I was taking any Conservatory 2-3 to start, well and then whatever.

08.11.13 Shlots, red (Castle, Sorcha, Gundula) def GoeDendag (blue, Castle, Adelaide, Kaitlin) 123 Skirmish 200%.

07.11.2013 Maretti (blue, Rampart, Kyrre) def Bishop (red, Castle, Caitlin, Dessa) 6LM10a 147

Very nice and rich map gave a huge army with a production of 10 gold dragons per week. I got full control early, so things went pretty easy. I had 12 golds, 8 angels, 104 wyverns, 30 war unicorns, and approximately 100 grand elves for the final battle. In the final battle, Bishop needed a lot of luck and morale to have a chance, but instead, I got something like 10 luck and morale in 2 rounds, so the win was clear. Thanks for playing.

5.11.2013. Roger-ua (red, dungeon, Shakti) def Alexey-omsk (blue, inferno, Pyre) . Skirmish . 121.
On 1 12346 in the citadel. On 121 200 Troglodytes, 5 Manticores. Shakti advanced earth. But the opponent didn't have any luck. GG.
Thanks for the game!

09.11.2013 The_ (red, Citadel, Gurni) def CrazyDuck (blue, Castle, Valeska, Tazar) JC L 126.

Never seen such a respawn anywhere in my life, let alone on a Jebus L.

5 confluxes - for 13 angels, 3 beehives, 2 Dragon Utopias, 2 external dwellings of bears, 1 external dwelling of birds, a box with 80 goblins, perfect Gurni leveling.
It was all so relaxing that I played almost without thinking - as a result, lost tempo while collecting everything, opponent reached the center earlier, which is not surprising, since I was only there on 124 :)).

In 2 days I ate the entire center, Gurni with something like 35-20-38-300 mana, all spell books except КЗ, full house, 13 angels, 9 ancients, over 30 ducks, etc. The opponent ran to his respawn, after one turn decided not to continue.

Thanks for the game!
