The opponent had much better stats, but he lost in the endgame with 200 griffins.

at the respawn there is an external dwelling of air elementals, 2 consulates 1 and 2 gauntlets and money for birds, first week entirely at the respawn on the second week a moner arrives whom I switch to. On day 123 I reached the purple player where the blue player was spotted from the overview, waited two days for them to move on the computer's town, thought to catch them on the march, the blue player fell one tile short of the town after which FB, by parameters it was a one-sided game.
thanks for the game!

We started playing without restarts, a very good start, Kreg + Müllich + Nagash, there's a 5k experience chest, there are several Dwarf Cottages, a level 1 Griffin Conservatory is found!

This made me relax a bit, losing an angel to 84 upgraded Harpies, unfortunate... A very tough second week... The computer is impossibly stressful, constantly either taking or killing my heroes, keeping a defense in the Castle and so on, only by the start of the third week did I manage to wipe him off the face of the earth, and another computer died there too.

At home there was an external dwelling of Medusas - so I portaled them. By week 3, I have 40 Medusas and 120 Troglodytes, plus the "zhor" from the Dungeon, the situation is so-so. I enter the Griffin Conservatory without checking - it's level 3, I take it very easily with Mass Haste (Kreg rules), then I go to the treasure zone, where I pick up Boots + 4 Dragon Fly Hives for 24 Wyverns, now it's more fun.

Well, week 4 became the redemption for all the mistakes before that.
After taking down the computer (he was a Necromancer), I went to another treasure zone, there were 4 Dragon Fly Hives (50 Wyverns), two Dragon Utopias (small ones). Useful loot: +9 all stats. Next, clearing out the previous treasure zone (I had left a Dragon Utopia there, afraid to fight it with just three Angels and 24 Wyverns), it gives me КЗ and a Helm.
Town Portal to the new treasure zone (the secondary hero there had already been defeated earlier), defeating two artifacts: +15%+10% cloak. Basically, from the start of week 4 until day 212, I made 1500 skeletons from scratch (of which about 400 were converted).

On day 212, Kyrre shows up in the treasure zone, I reach her in two Dimension Doors, her stats are even slightly higher and she has 19 Angels, but against Mass Haste with 60+ Monks and 60 Medusas with Expert Archery and a Bow, only half of the Angels survive to take their turn. The opponent surrenders after losing 11 Angels, 10 Wyverns, 50 Grand Elves, and surrenders the next turn.

Thanks for the game!

There was also this moment, maybe it will help someone. (I remember in some game for the Jurist a tactic also didn't work and autosaves were loaded too)
In the hero window on the right, where the battle formations are, there is a "Tactical Formation" button, which is active only if you have Tactics and it can be manually turned off (i.e., disable Tactics altogether), I have no idea why this button exists and never suspected its existence (I still don't understand how I turned it off), but when my Kreg died during a fight, Tactics didn't work - I was sure it was a bug, fortunately the opponent first explained why Tactics didn't work (it was a real shock for me), and then forgave me.

04/20/2014 Sanin (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def. Yegor Korobeynikov (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) Spider 125

Yegor chose to play defensively; I didn't.
He surrendered the built-up archers and two outposts on his side. No good heroes appeared, so I had to level up Valeska, and in the end, she got the earth.
In the first week, I took the green and pink swamps; both swamp creatures built a wisp, and one even built a citadel. The other built a citadel himself. I took the wisp from the green player. Horsemen are in the fortress.
At the beginning of the second week, I take two dwarven creatures. Blue creatures run into the green zone, take the city, but I manage to evacuate the wisp.
Valeska with oil takes the outposts, both level 3, and gets attack and log. Grindan with 15 wisps and 2 hydras stands to take the hit.
Level 125 with 6 angels, 11 wisps, and 4 horsemen, I attack with Valeska; combat stats are 7 9, Grindan has 1 0, the angels destroy the wisp in two rounds, and he surrenders.
Thank you for the game!

Was out of restarts so had no option of taking one after seeing initial spawn, to be fair it wasn't too bad but it was much worse than any of the previous spawns. Got to Necro zone at 112, there was +1 all art guarded by several wyvrens, decided to take it with Charna, was pretty easy due to tactics. However after that I did something at that time I considered a mistake, took a fight versus pack of pit lords for gold mine, lost a lot of skeletons and some gremlins due to morale. At 117 calculated and saw that there is a slight possibility of making Nagas at 121, that proved to be right and I managed to get them + some decent army thanks to Aine and gold income from gold mine:)
FB Charna 2 nagas, 6 magies, 10 golems and 80 master gremlins proved to be too much for Wystan's army.

Thanks for the game, good luck in next round.

The opponent was trying to bait me into retaking, but I didn't fall for it, lol. As a result, I took 111, and the opponent immediately took 113.
Then came Vidomina, and I fell for it, started my divine retaking, and ended up at 114 in the maximum crypt, lol.
Well, okay, but at least the rogues appeared in the Castle. I took the 121 resource point on the village respawn, and also took a hive with 6 vipers there.
I moved to another village, also taken in the first week, and took the maximum number of hives there. Then, in the portal, Thaz appeared, but he didn't have many troops. He killed my horseman and took the village.
In the next turn, I retake the village, buy the Kir' book, and, luckily, I had maxed out the Earth Expert skill on the hive (I had a scroll of slowness), and I reach Thaz, gg.
Thanks for the game.

The final match was tough, but we still managed to win.
Thanks for the game!
