08.12.2013 zoog (red, random, Dungeon, Alamar) lose Roger-ua (blue, random, Rampart, Coronius, Jenova) skirmish 131
I got confused with the changing rules and attacked with a bonus (even though I was already winning with small losses). I clarified, offered to replay the turn, but the opponent insisted on the victory.

Opponent resigned.
Thanks for the game.

07.12.2013 Cincinnat (blue, Conflux, random, Gelare, Labetha) def WhiteTiger (red, Stronghold, Dessa, Gurnisson) Jebus 137
111 - I reveal three hives, two Pandora's Boxes (for 50-99 upgraded wolves and 20-49 Ogre Mages), an external dwelling of birds for Efreeti and the hat for level 5 for 5-9 regular bears, but with all that, all three roads are blocked, no air elementals from the start. Ciele arrives and levels up spell power and water magic, Furia immediately gets armor. I decide to play.
112-113 - I gather resources, using Furia to run towards the GO via roadless terrain, I dash into stables. With Ciele I first Weakness the wolves, then replenish mana and prepare to hit them with 5 spell power.
114 - I break through the wolves on single Sprites, but the Pandora turns out to be for level 1. I Weakness the Ogres with the remnants, kill 6 of them, replenish mana. Meanwhile, at the respawn, nothing tasty is found except a necklace of +3 spell power and knowledge for 50-99 dogs.
115 - 116 - I gather resources, hit the Ogres once more with Ciele but don't kill them. 10-19 remain. Meanwhile, armor for +1 spell power is found, and Deemer has Rain over 175 - enough for a Tree-like mob. The elaborate beating of bears (and there are exactly 9 with GS) begins with Deemer and some scout heroes that came to hand; I take one gray at a time and only manage to cover two with Meteor Shower.
117 - I target the Tree-like mobs again with Deemer, then with a scout hero. One bear remains, I kill it, and finally, there is the hat for level 5. I set up birds at my place, and Ciele goes with Implosion to hit their external dwelling. Somehow I break through the Efreeti, hit 3 birds with Implosion and kick the rest. Then the timer unnoticeably ends, and I don't manage to buy the growth from the external dwelling. Fail.
121 - I have 7 birds. I take the Pandora's Box with the remaining Ogres hoping for meat, but there is experience for Aenain. The oil is leveled up, but I should have taken it with Furia. I set up to take the Dragon Fly Hive, break through the blocks to secondary skills.
122 - I take the hives, capture a secondary town and reveal the Griffin Conservatory. Labetha levels up Intelligence, Earth Magic, catches Air Magic, while one bird is lost.
123-124 - I take the Griffin Conservatory, in the army there are 6 birds, 2 Angels, 24 duck-creatures. I don't know how to beat 50-99 Cyclopes, so I decide to pester the Dread Knights standing nearby, a bit off road. I didn't manage to level up Furia well enough; I have Labetha and Ciele with mana.
125 - I somehow take apart the GO, and on the way out I catch another Conservatory-duplicate. I take it with Furia. There are sands and mountains all around, nothing is visible. The opponent is not spotted.
126-127 - I capture the town, spend a long time killing 100 Ogre Magi stacked in one pile for a necklace of +3 All Stats. In the treasure zone everything is heavy and unappetizing.
With Labetha I double my mana in the secondary dungeon, I lose 4 birds on a box with Giants due to GS (that experience was for Furia).
In the third week a deadlock in the center began, I took two Dragon Utopias with Labetha using Implosions and Earth Elementals, they gave the Orb of Vulnerability, Titan's Cuirass, a shield of +4 All Stats, and KV. I realize the opponent is not in a hurry, and by 136 I run to his main on his respawn, having picked up the missing sword for AOTD at the entrance. I sit and wait, the opponent attacks, there is no Red orb and GG.

Thanks for the game!

09.12.13Vatya (blue, Castle, Valya, Kirya) def Javdet (red, Inferno, don't remember/Müllich) smka 146

Opponent was constantly crashing, but as it turned out, there was no one to counter 12 archers, 50 crossbowmen, 12 knights, 40 griffins, 50 longbows with a gold bow, and 50 goat riders, even with roughly equal stats. Mass haste and I don't know who would have survived out of 6 bears, 30 griffins, and some other minor units. My max unit performed better than his 3 units.

To be continued...

Thanks for the game.

A question for the judges regarding restarts. Is this a block restart (blue has ogres, although there is a bypass) or not? red password 444111 blue 666
