The rematch took place :)
Thanks for the game.

Good map.
Thanks for the game!

Large and rich resp. 7 dwells of skeletons and 4 of zombies, 5 hives with 38 wiws, 3 cons with 7 angels. 1 angel was killed cause of morales vs 80+ grand elfs for a box with 10K exp. Both villages blocked on 1st week. One of them - dungeon - took 121. Built in main just 1-2lvl units and 5lvl of mage guild (ressurect, counterstrike, implosion). Made a scout (Cyra) with exp. view air, so controlled places of Anders's heroes since 117. Broke 124, then took mini-tope (Orb of Inhibition) and sit to tower. 127 Galthran with exp. logistics and stables visited attacked Tazar on pre-last steps. He surrendered with 12 wiws, 1 angel and some lizards/cows, killed me 3 angels, 4 wiws and about 130 skeletons. The game gone to late. After catching full-controle (wings defended by 90+ cyclopes, all 5lvl in box defended 40+ behemoths, book of earth in 1 of the utopias) i began to look for contact with Tazar. At last attacked him in main fortress on his resp. There was recant, but bolt of 850dmg and 900+ skeletons easily decided the battle. About 350 skeletons survived. Thx for game!

On turn 212, I merged on grayed-out Psions, opened up a Utopia, hoping for a red orb – it didn't work. In the final, my 32 ducks caught an Impl on 3000, GG, thanks for the game.

upgraded his oil, next turn took the Titan external dwelling + built on day 7
there was an external marketplace and enough resources to soon upgrade the Titans
ГО - bears, could have been broken through with Titans + mass slow, but alas the opponent surrendered
thanks for the game

Old games. Tnx

You can't duplicate a previously played fun game in the rating.
Good luck!

Everything was redesigned, and the result was simply terrible. There wasn't a single hiding spot in sight, and the path was blocked by Steel Golems guarding a teleport in just a couple of turns. There were few resources.

In the end, the Grand Palace really made the difference. My opponent would take one city and then retreat, attacking heroes from the chain and so on. I, on the other hand, had a tough time. Without the Sphere of the Earth, I managed to boost my Marksman to 1100+ attack, but that didn't save me. While I was struggling to reclaim my cities, my opponent used the Grand Palace to clear out hive after hive and farmed 70+ upgraded Ducks. I couldn't do anything with my weak stacks under Anti-Magic. I could have taken the Sphere of Air and found a Cloak of Disruption or something that prevents casting spells of level 3 or higher (Light Bolt would have dealt 1.5-1.7k damage), but without the Grand Palace or Dungeon, I couldn't execute that plan.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. Oh yeah, I forgot. It was epic when my main hero took everything he could carry on the first day and wandered alone for two weeks, replenishing his armies in villages and hiding spots (Gnolls), crossed half the map, reached the top, and gave the computer a hard time by fighting on two fronts.
