It's actually easier for the poor Swamp faction to gain momentum and capture objects with a tank; it's also more efficient, as you can deploy cheap units like birds and generate more profit. And who would you be without your cons? :rolleyes:
P.S. At least if the game doesn't involve a garrison, it's a different story.

First week.
A brisk start: 2 Griffin Conservatories and Boots in the cart. But damn, the respawn is small, no money, no external dwellings, the only road is blocked by Treasure Guardian. I took an off-road path to another treasure zone with 21 wolf riders, the treasure zone is native but with no external dwellings, but at least there are enough wolf riders + goblins and Cyclops 11 1 1 1 :)
Second week
With full purchase I take Griffin Conservatory #2, then #3, and end up with only 4 Angels:), then I run along the clues and the very long road, the road junctions didn't really reward me, only after 6! days of travel with a Cyclops with 3400 movement points did a decent branch begin. I built the second town up to Birdhouses, and saw a Griffin Conservatory there too.
Third week
I fought my way into my native treasure zone, took 2 Griffin Conservatories + an external dwelling of Beholders, placed Beholders in 2 towns. Day 135 was terrible, I made a very serious mistake in the chain. I glanced at the time: 5 AM, went to sleep before work :).
On day 137 I finally reach the Dragon Utopia and it's maxed out! It gave +7 All Stats and a Helm. Cyclops has 3900 movement points and 2 Dimension Doors.
Fourth week
A fast Cyclops with Expert Scouting cleared three treasure zones, and only on day 147 in the corner box did they give me all the land!!!! + I also painted 2 more external dwellings of Bears.
Fifth week
I squeeze towns out of the opponent, not enough money, I need a wild income since the growth is 11 Black Dragons per week! On day 216 we saved with connection issues and also it was 4 AM, you could drop dead at work that way.
Day 217 Fireball vs Tazar, Cyclops with 44 Attack + Elixir.... After Mass Haste the opponent only had 14 Angels left (the Bears talked to 46 Might Gorgons).
Day 223 I grab Gosh in a treasure zone, Mass Haste and the opponent writes GG.

Thanks for the game.

P.S. The opponent surprised me by picking Swamp, I always thought that on rather poor templates Citadel is preferable.

1-0
Ivor got 9 Grand Elves and the scout hero got 6, started without restarts, bought what I could and moved to the center, there I broke 50-60 Golems, then captured the town and ran again through piles of Harpies into the third treasure area, there I broke another pile of Harpies and grabbed the Gloves, then captured the Conflux village and then broke about 40 Demons (respawn there of course helped as much as it could), completed the quest artifact for 100+ Zombies...with scout heroes broke through the Centaur stash and at turn 121 ran into another third treasure area, there I wanted to break the Dragon Fly Hive but it was guarded by many Eyes and decided to settle in the town, then at turn 122 Gohan ran in with 250 Skeletons 10 Liches and some small units and killed my scout hero...then I ran to the respawn, there I broke the Gnome Manufactory (20) and Medusa Manufactory for 40, bought up and attacked Gohan who had captured my village, as a result I have
Ivor 2 8 2 2, 32 Grand Elves 7 Dendroids 1 Centaur 99 Centaurs 11 Pegasi 30 Gargoyles 30 Water Elementals
Gohan 4 5 4 3, 10 Liches 62 Skeletons 1 Ghost 6 Walking Zombies and 247 Zombies
I won, thanks for the game!

Got great skills on Kyrre for once. Had 2 full cons that I took without exp magic, so that cost some. Stats and army were decent but I lacked control. When I finally found it I felt it would be hard to lose, since I also got red orb and 3 to speed. I started taking opponents towns and he decided to attack me in town, when he finally saw the chance to catch kyrre. Against red orb he had no chance. Thanks for playing.

Unfortunately, we couldn't finish the match due to a lack of time on Grizzwald's side.

The time has come for the lower bracket losers.

There are no reports for two games:

BA/IEHOK-numOne
KobRa_RR-twaryna

As of 06.07, I had the following information:

- Valenka had time problems; he is almost always silent in ICQ; there were words that if they don't finish the game in time, they will post the victory. I ask you to clarify if anything has changed, and if not, write a report to Andrey.

- It is more difficult with the second pair; based on the correspondence that Alexander provided to me yesterday, it is difficult to conclude who is right and who is wrong.
The overall picture is as follows: Kobra suggested setting a specific date for the game, to which he received the answer - let's see, I play almost every day (which is indeed true), - write. They failed to coordinate in the end. Considering that twaryna played almost every day, it seems that Alexander was more interested in the game.
However, this is not enough to award a technical victory. Because both are always late with deadlines, and sometimes even beyond them.
I will wait for comments during the day, mainly from Kobra (since he has not contacted me and has not reported any difficulties with the game). Based on yesterday's correspondence, twaryna is ready to play today; if the game is played today, that's fine; if not, I will wait for the saves from the players in the evening (if someone is not available in the evening, they can send it via a private message on the forum), and I will make a decision.
