Well, after Pandora, any Pandora focused on magic will feel empty. :)

Group I

24.12.13 =Stinger=(red, Tower, Solmyr) def AYMAN(blue, Rampart, Kyrre) Diamond 126

We selected all restarts.
The small respawn had no external dwellings and generally everything was tight; what kept things going was that on the secondary there was a cap +5 behind a pack of medusas, КЗ behind a pack of gr. minotaurs, there was a Pandora's Box on an adjacent zone behind a pack of gr. master genies and a pack of gr. ogres, and +3 to spell power.
And most importantly - I captured a hat +4 behind an air elemental farm at the spawn.
Then I visited 3 paid booster structures for spell power.
Managed to capture the opponent's Castle scout heroes on week 1 to prevent them from messing things up, and with Solmyr and Chain Lightning at 290 I executed a bold plan to hit-and-run a pack of master genies.
On the third try, the funny old men who were casting magic on themselves while I blasted them with the Titan's Thunderbolt fell. I was very lucky that a well was nearby.
Meanwhile, the scout heroes captured 2 Dungeon towns, and the Pandora's Box gave 6 hydras.
Next, the same fate awaited the pack of ogres, which I also wiped out on the second attempt; the Pandora's Box behind them gave 20K experience, and Solmyr got Expert Air Magic. I immediately rushed into the Dungeon, built Grail building 1, and from there rushed through a double mana after a day into another secondary and captured a hat for all level 5 magic.
After that, everything was simple - I captured 3 of my opponent's towns and attacked him in his Castle with 700 Titan's Thunderbolts and 1100 imps, trapped him in the Castle and killed him with magic.
18 unicorns stood behind the wall, with no right to come out alive )))
Thanks for the game!

Transition game in Group B
29.12.2013 RoninHW (red, Rampart, Cyre, Cyre) def Sevan_80 (blue, Fortress, Bron, Gherwulf) 8mm6a 223

We completely restarted and a small respawn appeared in the center with an external dwelling of horses, conflux, and a relic. Very promising, but due to the small starting army and unpleasant blocks, I played very safely and didn't rush anywhere on the first week. On the first week, horses in the castle, and only from the second week I spread out to the adjacent zones. I was pleased with the good road network, which made it very convenient to power-stack and kill the computers (one was native, horse growth +12). Throughout the whole game, only Town Portal was given from control, and Cyre never got Earth magic, but 2 heroes with Earth magic successfully handled logistics issues. My opponent, in turn, was very unlucky with the roads, having only 1 road to the center, where I was already on the second week. After power-stacking a good army and strong magic, I went to my opponent. The final battle was a formality.
Thanks for the game!

Dirty_Player (Dungeon) vs wowa (Necropolis)
ProtosArchon (Stronghold) vs VanjaM (Dungeon)

Well then, Siberian Grizzly was penalized back then for sabotage and losing one KB point, and we had an extra game with him to determine who would advance from the group.

How are things going?
