28.04.2014 Gallicij (Red, random, Dungeon, Jedite, Nimbus) lose Svetogor (Blue, random, Tower, Rissa, Tamika) 133 6lm10a
in the tavern a miner arrives with 1 stack, actually, on the first day under the Dungeon I find an external dwelling of Harpies and below Minotaurs behind ice creams. The road up is blocked by 50+ Beholders for a Ring of Vitality, fortunately there is another road down which I take, later 13 Mages are broken through for a pass to a small village, but it's a dead end. Behind the Dungeon through wasteland I found lifts behind Gogs and Orcs, and a Dwarf Cottage behind Golems, a second external dwelling of Harpies, construction only up to Manticores, Minotaurs didn't get built, I didn't set a portal so on the first I took 2 external dwellings of Harpies and 1 of Troglodytes.
on the second I broke through lifts, explored the sandy adjacent zone through wasteland, broke into the swamp treasure zone and sent a scout there through wasteland. I took another lift in the sandy treasure zone and entered an underground treasure zone, there too a scout ran through wasteland, a small Dwarf Cottage was checked, it was big.
on 131 with full trade I buy, climb into the max Dwarf Cottage, after it I buy the remaining, recruit Nimbus and break the Beholder for the Ring with a loss of 140 Troglodytes. Army: 60 Harpies, 30 Beholders, 10 Manticores. A little further I found a lift to the surface, there immediately a Griffin Conservatory, after clearing the guard I learn it's level 3-4, nothing to take with. Further along the road 2 portals, checking both I found a blue scout hero on singles, I attack and surrender, there Tamika had long been visible with normal stats, clearly everything is fine, with my tempo I can't catch the blues anymore, as it turned out even if I hadn't surrendered myself, on the next turn they would have overwhelmed me with a good army.
Thanks for the game.

Capitulation on turn 121 due to being blocked by a Necropolis with 86 Master Gremlins)).
I'm a beginner. I think I had a strong block - 35 Gogs.... I don't know if that's strong or not, but I didn't dare to attack in the first week).

29.04.2014 ptzVptz (Blue, Conflux, Random, Sandro) def Saracina (Red, Tower, Solmir, Solmir) 141 2SM4d(3)
On the first week I see a Cloak of Necromancy. Necro arrived, chose it in folders, collected about 100 skeletons in a week. Built a level 7 dwelling in the fort. Sandro ran around the stat boosters and necroed. Two roads, one leading to the opponent, the other blocked by 50-99 Grand Elves.
On the second week, with Phoenixes and skeletons, I broke through a passage into the underground via pathless terrain, captured a Dungeon town, farmed a Dragon Fly Hive for 4 Waspworts. On the third week, I went to farm the treasure zone, found a Pandora's Box with 20-49 Arch Angels for the whole map and rushed to the opponent.
On turn 141, I attacked the hero's main town; the opponent, seeing the stats (4-4-10-190 mana) and army (500 skeletons, 10 Firebirds, 10 Waspworts), surrendered.
GG. Thanks for the game.

29.04.2014 Xellav (Blue, Bog, Bog) def Night Troll (Red, Wizards, Torosar, Torosar) 133 2sm4(3)

The start was poor, barely managed to place wyverns and the castle with 5 heroes, though there was a Lizard Dwelling, no Hives or conservatory, no crypts or treasury, barely found a conservatory for 1 angel in the second week. Lucky with Slow, leveled Tazara's Earth magic, entered the fat lands, took two hives, and with 21 wyverns and 60 gnolls captured the Utopia for 133. 5 wyverns remained. Got the Book of Earth, Fire, Boots of 15% resistance and a Cloak of 10% magic resistance. Nearby there was an Orb of Inhibition and a Golden Bow. I didn't take my 70 shooters or the angel into the Utopia. It was late in the evening, I showed the save to the opponent so he would agree that there was no chance.

29.04.2014 ptzVptz (Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Tazar) lose Akella (Red, Fortress, Bron, Alkin) 142 8MM6a
No restarts left, played what was dealt. Starting army about 35 centaurs and 10 archers, including growth. The respawn is meager with a couple of chests, a bit of resources, and two roads. One to the portal leading to the underground. The other just to the underground. The undergrounds are long and not particularly rich, but I was pleased with a single cons taken on 121; subsequently, 2 more cons were found and the total number of angels amounted to 6 units.
I never found Uliks; on the third week, I ran around as Tazar with 6 angels, 13 horses, and meat, farming Dragon Utopia. Luckily, the 1st Dragon Utopia gave a level 5 hat and blast helped with other utopias.
Got some good stats: 24-30-18-18, but then came the week of plague... Not much meat left: 2 horses, 50 grands, 6 angels, and pegasi. I holed up in a dungeon hoping the opponent would attack. That's exactly what happened on 142; the opponent attacks, stats are worse, but has an army advantage: 7 angels, 11 hydras, 18 ducks.
Also has blast. In the first two rounds, I take out the thick stacks of hydras+wyverns; in the 3rd round, I use Armageddon to try and pick off the hero the next day (since I had 132 thousand on hand, there were every chance), but the opponent procs resist on the 1st stack and gets all the artifacts. Without an army, hero, and artifacts, I saw no point in continuing, considering that because of the week of plague, there was no meat in any city, and the week had only just begun.
ГГ, thanks for the game.

1.05.2014 Spinhead (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) draw Светагор (Red, Dungeon, Shakti) 142 6LM10a 231
Ivor came in, with two stacks of elves (lucky, no more restarts), barely found money on the resp for the upgrade. on week 1 I took 3 Dragon Fly Hives. While breaking the guard to one Dragon Fly Hive (black knights) I missed and didn't close the elves, took auto. On the neighboring resp I found boots and a necromancer's cloak, and in the dungeon a tamika, from week 4 tamika started necroing 100-150 skeletons per day, the first two Dragon Utopias gave nothing useful (captain's hats and other crap). Overall, we played for a long time. At the end of the game, I gathered a bunch of Wyverns in the treasure zone. In the final, being superior in parameters and army to Shakti, I attacked him with a calm heart. But he had assembled the Armor of the Damned with a orb, overall, until the 50 turns ran out, we ran around the screen, but in the end 124 wyverns and 1000+ skeletons decided it. gg
