25.03.2014 LuckyF (red, Necro, Tanth, Tanth) def Vatya (blue, Dungeon, Shachti, Shachti) 2SM4d(3) 123

I spawned at the top, the road was blocked by a crowd of upgraded minotaurs, but Galtran arrives and there is a bypass, I decide to play, although on the first turn, while breaking through a crowd of shooters, I managed to mess up and not use Resurrection at the end of the battle((. The road to half the map on week 2 turns out to be blocked right in front of the castle by a group of unicorns, but there's a stable nearby. I defeat Tanth and manage to take the Dwellings of Liches on day 117, upgrading horses at the Citadel. Galtran is defeated after the stable on day 121 and runs on an upgraded Knight towards the Griffin Conservatory above through no-man's-land. Meanwhile, Tanth takes 2 Dwarf Cottages and a Pandora's box for 5k experience, and the freshly recruited Isra becomes a guard for the underground secondary town. I transfer troops to Galtran, he takes another Dwarf Cottage, and the next turn the Griffin Conservatory was supposed to fall with 300+ upgraded Skeletons and 5 upgraded Knights + 3 stacks of neutrals to increase the Skeletons nearby. Next, I planned to buy Liches and take the underground secondary town with Isra, and with Tanth, using the troops passed from Galtran, finally kill the minotaurs, check what the GO is (there was a horde of Goblins in front of it and, passing by, I still had basic Necromancy on both heroes, I decided to kill it later since it was obvious that the road further led into the GO, although maybe it was a mistake and I should have scouted right away what was standing as the GO), and depending on what I see, break through either on days 125-126 or on day 131.
But then the opponent writes gg, it turns out he tried to deal with the GO earlier - unsuccessfully.

25.03.2014 LuckyF (red, Dungeon, Shakti) draw YaR (blue, Rampart, Kyrre) JC 135.

we took all the rests. the roads were generous, a fork, though the direction to ГО was blocked by cavaliers, but seeing an external dwelling of dragons, several hives plus good artifacts and lots and lots of free stat boosts, I decided to play... on 121 I lost tempo because I didn't manage to transfer the army to Kyrre... approached ГО on 126... with 4 green 40 dragons and 8 wyverns... met on 127... there were 6 angels 30 dragons 10 cats 3 titans... I cut down all his dragons and 3 angels, bought back at 8 dwellings, gathered hives, bought growth and went to the center.. Shakti met with 5 titans, cast armageddon... and a draw. thanks for the game!

It happened. We played from 3 AM to 1 PM.

27.03.2014 LuckyF (red, Castle, Valeska, Nella) def Ogwumike (blue, Dungeon, Shakhti, Shakhti) JC 132.

A rather unpleasant start generated with the respawn stretched across the entire bottom, but the market near the castle and an angel dwelling discovered in the corner on 115 gave hope for a fight. I slotted angels on the 1st week; a chain of 7 heroes over 2 turns was spent first on clearing 2 archer dwellings, then angels. On 121 and 122, I gathered 3 hives with scouts, and Nella took 3 pandoras (2 for experience and 25 swordsmen); on 123, I took a 4th hive and approached the Dragon Utopia at the respawn not far from the exit to the center. On 124, I take the Dragon Utopia, there are wings, Grezhue via the angel chain, I pass them to Nella and in the same turn I enter the center, losing 2 archangels due to gross mistakes :( but then luck starts to turn, I take another single Dragon Utopia and get boots; the center turns out to be human, where I take another angel dwelling and a pandora for 5 angels and a hive behind a crowd of red dragons, run through 3 libraries, and win back a +4 all shield. Shakhti entered the center on 131. On 132, I mess up and, having swapped wings for +2 speed, I don't reach the miner, but after taking an empty Dragon Utopia, the opponent surrenders anyway.
Thanks for the game!

03/23/2014 Ogwumike (blue, , tower, Piguegram, Tazar) def Little (red, castle, Edric, Turis) JC 132. The distribution was good; he took a nag and giants on the first turn. Tazar found boots, placed the nag and giants, and in the second turn, with a citadel, ducks appeared. He took several hives and moved to the center at 125, took a warlock, and made a chain. Titans appeared; he found a golden bow 131 and his opponent in the village in the center, and attacked. The finale wasn't great; the opponent had a passage to gold guarded by 20-49 giants and 20 archdevils following them. Almost all of them wiped him out, leaving only the ducks.
Thank you for the game.

[/U]03/30/2014 LuckyF (red, Castle, Valeska, Tazar) def Selean (blue, Necropolis, Clavius, Clavius) JC 135.

After we both used up all our restarts, the game turned out pretty well. On turn 113, I got a speed boost and 2 Death Knights in the refuge, 2 Duel Monks, 2 Cons and 3 Ulians. On turn 124, I moved to the center, and on turn 133, I went to my opponent, who never made it to the center.
Thanks for the game.

30.03.14 comanche (red, Random, Tower, Tan, Ivor) lose Zen (blue, Random, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) JC 143.

Tower on Jebus Cross. On the first day, I saw the 5th level hat on the respawn and 90 Gremlins + Ivor entered, decided to play. The respawn was large and rich. I upgraded both secondary skills on day 113. Ivor desperately tried to get Water magic; by the start of the second week, there was still no Earth magic. In desperation, I spent a day taking a chest deeper into the wasteland hoping for experience — turned out to be 110 Gremlins. Ivor, still at level 4, didn't get Earth magic; on the respawn there were only 2 Griffin Conservatories (1+3) and 2 Beehives, 2 external dwellings of Genies. I didn't even dare to think about breaking out on the second week (ГО Scorpicores). On day 127 (laughable), I stood with Ivor by the speed boost near the ГО. I broke through with decent losses, finally picked up Water magic (hooray!). I took a dungeon in the center. It turned out the opponent wasn't in the center yet, so I scavenged a bit, as much as my resources allowed — which was very little. 1 pre-max stack of Pixies, a prison (Rylan, level 10), a chest for all magic, which required fighting 30 Giants with Haste, didn't have enough troops for the Dragon Utopia (3 Titans + 2 Angels + small fry). In the end, I gained no advantage from the earlier breakthrough; in the fourth week, the opponent showed up with stats 20-10 (mine were around 9-11) and 18 Bears — nothing to play against there. I fled home, took the dwelling growth and the Dragon Utopia, found a Shield +12 there. I was planning to take another home Dragon Utopia, but foolishly left the capital empty, not expecting the noob to run that far. Decided not to waste my time and my opponent's, so I surrendered. After the game, it turned out the opponent had 5 external Bear dwellings on his respawn (took 4) + a couple of external Bird dwellings, plus decent home stat artifacts lying around.
Thanks for the game!

01.04.14 DaU (blue, Conflux, Inteus, Luna) def vatya (red, Necro, Aislinn) diamond 111

The opponent didn't like having 70 skeletons at the start, after a restart 112 followed by GG.
