I rushed out with 5 heroes. Kreig took the road to the gold mine, on the next turn I took it and kept moving. With scout heroes, I collected free stuff; there was a small respawn, from scouting there was 1 Dragon Fly Hive, and Boots in a wagon. On day 114, Kreig returned home due to a road block; the scout hero found an external dwelling of bears, and Kreig rushed towards it. On day 115, I took the external dwelling, then broke through 19 Pit Fiends for a Pandora's Box with 10k experience; Kreig had Expert Tactics, Earth Magic, and Wisdom. On day 116, bears were being built at home, and Kreig was about to go take another Pandora's Box guarded by Demons, but a message about forfeit arrived. Thanks for the games.

Started without restarts. It went very smoothly, despite the starting Kappa. 2 native heroes, under the Castle a Stable and Shield +3, gold and resources available, Gunnar and Labeta. I decided to level both.
112 - captured a prison, inside was native Jeglar. Very pleasant, army of 90 Faeries, 16 Storm Elementals, 11 Kappa. Revealed the FOW, saw the first troubles. Only 2 roads, one of which ends at the Monolith exit in the Swamp. Out of 4 secondary skills, 3 are pathfinding, with 2 swamp and 1 earth. But I can see a Dragon Utopia on the rocks. I sent Labeta to scout there. Gunnar is at a Dwarf Cottage, 50-99, waiting for water elementals to be delivered. Interesting things in the Swamp: a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive with a Golden Bow for 100+ Pikemen.
113 - reveal FOW on the rocks, Dragon Utopia with Nagas, nice. Also, an external Marketplace on the rocks. Water elementals delivered, Gunny easily breaks the mini-Dwarf Cottage. I run along the road to the Underground, there's a Colosseum with Champions, a Dragon Fly Hive with Grand Nagas, a Well.
114 - I break through a Portal in the Underground on pathless terrain, Zombies, on the other side Boars. Towards the opponent. Sent Kalt there, Gunnar continues along the road, hits a block of 20-49 Basiliskis for a Box and other junk. I turn back. 7 heroes, gold available.
115 - ran to the Grass towards the opponent, there's a mini-Dwarf Cottage, then 19 Cerberi for resources and gold, then I kill the opponent's Mephala. Can't see towns, but there's another Dwarf Cottage and a Crypt. 8 heroes.
116 - max-Crypt with Kalt, Dwarf Cottage 15-stack with Gunnar. At home I build Psychos, capture resources and a Chest with the Aegis of Despair with them. 20k gold.
117 - upgrade to Griffins in the Fort. Gunnar returns to the Underground, stops before the Basiliskis. Labeta with 2 Phoenixes and the rest of the main army hits Grand Nagas for a Dragon Fly Hive, -1 Storm Elemental. Dragon Fly Hive 50+, won't push. Labeta with Oil and 20 mana runs towards the Stable on the rocks and the Dragon Utopia. Vidomina at the external Marketplace, next to it Cape of Speed and Sword of Justice for 10-19 Arch Devils. Kalt finds a Griffin Conservatory at the opponent's.
121 - full buyout, I kill the Basiliskis, in the Box all Level 1. Gunnar to the Well, refills mana. The main army takes the Dragon Fly Hive, 8 Wyverns. Then rides home, at home upgrade to Storm Elementals. Labeta before the Dragon Utopia.
122 - upgrade to Ice Elementals, 24 Storms, 26 Ices. I hit the Nagas, no problem with the Spirit. Army to Gunnar, he hits the Box in the Underground for 10-19 Hydras, -1 Griff says, 20k exp. Then an Arena with a bunch of stuff for 40 Trolls.
123 - Labeta enters the Griffin Conservatory in the Swamp with 13 mana, maximum stat. -4 Griffins, Psychos and 3 Ice Elementals, +4 Angels. At home, Marketplace.
124 - Labeta breaks through 100+ Storms for the Blackshard of the Dead Knight, -1 Griff says on auto-combat, I don't intervene. Then 100+ Pegasi for a Dragon Fly Hive, I attack without meat for some reason, and Ices are in the center, they get hit immediately. I pull out with a loss of 8 Ice Elementals and 1 Angel. The Dragon Fly Hive is minimal, I previously broke Labeta in it and hired her at home. Using Dimension Door I pull the army out of the Swamp, take it to the Green respawn, there Kalt first hits the opponent's hero, then the Griffin Conservatory, level 2. Gunnar visits the Stables near home, reveals the air and targets the opponent's main with Griffins.
125 - Labeta captures the Colosseum with 34 Champions, no losses. Brissa breaks through 49 Grand Medusas in the Underground for Sword +3 and a prison with Elleshar level 5. I return the main army to Gunnar, 4 Griffins, 5 Angels, 22 Storms, 15 Ices, 6 Earth Elementals, 6 Wyverns. Have 70 mana, activate Fly, capture a Dragon Fly Hive for 20-49 Cyclops, level 8, no losses. Then 50+ Medusas, Club +5 and +1 spell power. Dimension Door to the Swamp, capture the opponent's main, occupy it. Stats 21-16-13-9. I see an unclaimed Griffin Conservatory with Sharpshooters. No gold, I'm considering a Dragon Utopia in the Underground with Summon Air Elementals.
126 - opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game!

Everyone respawned and I was dealt, albeit a blocked respawn, but 4 roads and a native secondary. I assigned Rizza to folders, colored the secondary, lots of money, Nagas at home stood in the Citadel, +1000 and Golems in the secondary, external dwelling of Caps.
On the second turn, I delve deeper into the secondary, buy out, transfer, and take a max Griffin Conservatory. There's also a teleport to the treasure zone there, I dove, took a Pandora's Box with 30 Ghosts, Cloak of the Undead King 2/2, and Hive for 8. I crashed back into the secondary, there's another Griffin Conservatory lvl 3 nearby. Rizza goes towards the treasure zone, troops are transferred forward - to color another secondary (very long roads). I don't quite make it, but the path is broken through. I leave 1 Angel, everything else is transferred back, on the way a scout hero adds growth and Rizza dives into the treasure zone, Hive for 4, and on the next turn I meet the opponent, kill the scout hero, and concede follows. The deal wasn't very good there, and also a turn earlier Gurney got wiped out to zero.

Thanks for the game!

Took 111 twice, then started playing, opponent didn't take resets. Roads are slow, 3 stacks, level 2 not built, scouting candle, 4 roads, money is somewhat available, though the Dwarf Cottage is not visible. Immediately see a passage to snow for 20-40 monks and a pile of eyes, completely blocked. At home there is a Griffin Conservatory and stables, but the stables are inconvenient. And an external dwelling of ogres.
112 - checked the Conservatory, it's a 2-type, located near ГО, ГО is a pile of uniques.
113 - upgraded 30 wolves, Ciele arrived and ran to find the native secondary hero. Found 2 Conservatories along the way. Scouted the exit to grass via the 4th road through hell hounds.
114 - with Tyrax ran towards the hounds, along the way captured a couple of chests, lost 2 wolves on a misclick, Ciele with 3 birds went to the secondary hero.
115 - Ciele captured the secondary hero, underneath it a second external dwelling of ogres. Tyrax kills the dogs with the loss of single units, then wasps along the road and gremlins. There is a box for 20-49 lights. Secondary hero is Necro. At home are orcs, decide to skip the bears.
116 - take the Necro town, there is GM1, there is Slow for the gained Earth magic, under the Necro town another Conservatory, the fourth. Ciele hits a horde of gnolls for the external dwelling of ogres + Ring of 2 SP, lose 2 birds out of 3. Build ogres, and in the secondary town a tavern (wasteful, because there is little wood).
117 - Tyrax clears a camp for 10-19 grand demons, in the camp are gargoyles. Position myself in front of the box. Army rides to Tazar, he breaks through 20 elves for the second external dwelling of ogres. At home is a Citadel.
121 - buy up wolves and birds, but forget the army at Tazar's, result - day wasted.
122 - deliver the mana to Tyrax, hit the lights, there are 49 of them with GS. -4 wolves and all goblins. 5k experience, Expertise Tactics and Earth. Split up and head home.
123 - double mana in the fountain, buy more army, ogres + mana from the secondary town, go into an unchecked Conservatory on the way to the secondary town (the second minion, at ГО a 2-type). Conservatory is a 2-type, made a slight mistake, -4 wolves and 2 ogres. Tyrax with Armorer and Air.
124 - Ciele takes the mini-medusa dwelling (the only money-making structure I had in this game), then a mini-Conservatory (-1 wolf). Tyrax again into double mana (20 points). Build a chain to the grass.
125 - Tyrax takes the Conservatory 2-type at ГО, army rides to Tazar on the grass, there is a Conservatory 2-4, wait a day.
126 - check the Conservatory, a 2-type, Tazar takes it. Army returns, upgrade ogres, Tyraxxor 9-4-2-1 (20), Ring +2 rounds, 49 grand wolves, 7 angels, 18 grand ogres, single goblin units, hit ГО 40 grand horses, falls easily with Oil.
Beyond ГО is a scout, see the blue player beyond ГО consisting of 10-19 bears, amongst the interesting things also Gauntlets, a box, a Dragon Fly Hive and a Cloak +2 SP and Knowledge. Take the Dragon Fly Hive, a mini.
127 - capture the Cloak, the box for the entire level 2 for Gundula, then Tyrax easily breaks through 19 bears and kills Grindan along the way.
131 - Gundula manages to reach the opponent's main with angels in the castle.
Then for another 5 turns we ran around, the opponent necroed in his adjacent zone, I was clearing the center, took another Conservatory 3-type in the sands, the Gauntlets, the opponent's secondary town, 2 Necro towns in the center, also a box for 80 skeletons there, found Haste.
On 136 I reached Goshan on the adjacent grass, against 12 angels there was no chance. Thanks for the game!

Sdalo on a small respawn, but there is an external dwelling of bears and cyclopes, decided not to take the rest, even though the opponent's necro showed and he had a secondary necro. At 113 both external dwellings easily fell and I decided to risk it. Killed the neutral stack, put the bears in the fort... on the second map there was a lot to do, found boots, cleared 3 Griffin Conservatories for 8 angels... opponent recaptured the town and I couldn't reach him at all, was short by 50 MP and from there his offensive against me began... gave up on that and ran to a treasure zone in the snow... there by the road I grab a Pandora's Box for the entire 4th level... and started leveling Earth magic... cleared out some decent Dragon Fly Hives, had no unnecessary losses anywhere. Took down a level-3 Dragon Utopia, got a red orb, a helmet +6 all, and a Water spell book... well after that everything was fine, goofed once but nothing critical... fought a little with the secondary heroes and the opponent surrenders.
Thank you for the game!

In the second game we agreed on a draw!
