15.04.2014 Gallicij (blue, dungeon, mines, Vokial) def Solley (red, Citadel, Gurni, Gurni/Luna) diamond 136
starting artifact, ring +1 to HP. right under the castle boots behind a goblin 50-99, Vokial in the tavern. path is blocked at the crossroads by snakes behind an external dwelling of Medusas 50-99, you can slip past them to the lift to the surface.
on the first exchanged 60 Troglodytes for 60 Skeletons, took Necro and Inferno villages. found 4 Dragon Fly Hives, a Dragon Utopia. a big Griffin Conservatory. built cats in the Citadel.
on the second found (not cleared) a teapot behind Rocs, wings behind Hydras, 5th Dragon Fly Hive. Griffin Conservatory checked, maximum stats. took 2 external dwellings of Medusas and 1 Evil Eye.
on 131 I take the Griffin Conservatory sacrificing 130 Troglodytes and 2 cats for cleanup. and a Dragon Bank for 8k.
132 I hit a village running closer to the wings.
133 took the wings sacrificing 4 Medusas on Hydra morale. I'm standing on the lift against 4 Angels, the treasury nearby, through that lift the purple computer intended to break in, didn't dare to fight the guard of 20-49 Medusas and went back.
but the opponent runs in, Gurni with 17 attack, 28 Monks, and single Orcs. stands 1 square from the lift I'm on from the other side. having 4 Angels, 254 Skeletons, 8 ducks, 6 cats, 33 Evil Eyes, 22 Medusas. of course I should have attacked even losing slightly on battle stats and having no mana, (the opponent also checked and has no mana). but I run for the teapot since I can reach it in one turn. and sit in a village to replenish 100 mana, trained Air magic on Rocs. only Angels to speed boost in the village. the opponent checked that I ran to the other end of the lift, fell back. having boots and gloves, I thought I could reach from the village with a good speed boost but was 2 squares short. stayed on my side of the lift, ran into the fog of war.
on 135 Gurni breaks in, followed by Luna with 10 spell power.
on 136 Vokial chases Luna off losing an Angel, barely short of reaching Gurni, I pass the treasury and artifacts to the noob, he chases Gurni off, then GG

12.04.2014 Comanche (red, Random, Inferno, Marius) draw Jewelmask (blue, Random, Castle, Caitlin) Jebus Cross 117
we both fed the opponent in turn and eventually agreed to a draw)

12.04.2014 Comanche (red, Dungeon, Dungeon, Shakti) draw Jewelmask (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) Jebus Cross 126
this time we decided to have a scrap. Shakti came with a decent number of troglodytes + 2 native heroes, totaling 150 troglodytes on day one. He spread out poorly, got blocked from both secondaries, and ended up wandering around as Shakti with nothing to do on stat boosters and crypts for almost the entire first week. From the pickups: two troglodyte ones, one manticore one behind a horde of griffins and gargoyles, and two draconian ones in the middle of nowhere. I decided to portal the troglodytes :D Shakti got wrecked in an imp cache with a griffin conservatory, I asked the opponent for an autopass, to which he kindly agreed on the condition that if I won the result would be a draw, and that was the deal. I thoroughly wasted troglodytes on several tough guards, fought off an armor +1all and a shield +4 def. On the second week I started collecting hives and griffin conservatories, all of them, even the inconvenient ones, since there’s no meat for GO :( they were scattered inconveniently + guards unbreachable by weaklings, gathered everything only by 126 (7 angels +30 wyverns) and the conservatory was far from town, I would have come out only by 131, no earlier. But the opponent wrote gg and quit, his situation was quite sluggish.

Thanks for the games

M_S_T - awesome! He defeated two opponents right away!!!! He just made a mistake in the template, in the second letter!

[/U]04/12/2014 win MST (red, Dungeon, Shakti) lose Gallicij (blue, Necro, Cerna), 8mm6a 122

Minotaur dwelling and a captured conservatory on day three (+1 angel) decided a lot in the game. A staircase of 7 heroes across three locations and an excellent rush from the opponent with 19 minotaurs, 160 Troglodyte, 1 angel, 17 Evil Eye — the opponent, though they had horses in the Citadel, could offer nothing in response! Thanks for the game.

19.04.2014 ptzVptz (red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Comanche (blue, Rampart, Mephala) Jebus Cross 126

111 Artifact for morale block. 3 stacks of Beholders + external dwelling of Troglodytes + scout hero = 160 Troglodytes from the start, excellent. Immediately see the Labyrinth, Pandora's Box for Medusa Archers (20-49), 2 Griffin Conservatories, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and Angel Wings.
Naturally I play, opponent doesn't take a restart.
112-117 Collect the Dragon Fly Hives (4 pieces) + 1 Griffin Conservatory, lose all Troglodytes and meat, but get 33 Harpies + 3 Angels. Scout heroes break crypts and easy blocks. On 117 break through the marksmen and take the Angel Wings. By the end of the week Minotaurs are built in the citadel. Shakti level 10 with Expert Earth.
121 Beholder gets defeated, is bought back in the castle, takes Pandora's Box (25 Medusa Eyes) for 35 Medusa Archers, scout hero takes Pandora's Box for Manticores (10k gold).
122 Beholder doubles mana, scout takes the second Griffin Conservatory, check the Dragon Utopia – max, leave it for later. Shakti approaches the Conflux, speeds up on the Angel.
123 Enter the Conflux. My army – 45 Harpies, 3 Angels, 60 Troglodytes, 25 Medusa Eyes, 14 Minotaur Lords. Enter through Angels, 1 stack turned out to be upgraded. Take the hat for +5 spell power + visit the library. Scouts discover 2 roads, 1 to the castle.
124 With the Beholder clear Pandora's Boxes and the Dragon Utopia in the center, they give a Key to the Dragon City. With the scout hero take the castle, jump with the Beholder to regenerate mana.
125 – 126 Clear the center, return home, transfer the army to the scout hero who takes the external dwelling of Dragons and checks the Dragon Utopia. Opponent surrenders, gg.

18.04.2014 Gallicij (blue, ramp, Ivor, Gosh) def Svetogor (red, Dungeon, Shakhti, Gunnar) mininosta 144
Seemed to start not badly. native Dragon Utopia nearby. But during the assault on the Tower on 112 2 mages killed the Troglodytes with arrows. Then a concrete fail on 114 got wasted on a max crypt. As a result, stood for 4 days, on 121 started leveling Gunnar, captured Citadel and Necro at the comp. 137 went into the treasure zone, saw 4 Dragon Fly Hives, but there were 4,4,6,6... not enough kills in the end, but the physical stats were better, especially defense. decided to attack the opp when he broke in, because I saw he had little mana, only 15, but in vain, too many grand elites, another fail. could have taken Dragon Utopia with normal losses, and as it turned out there was a 5x hat. In short, threw it, could have fought.

thanks for the game.
