The map is, well, terrible... On Facebook, I had ONE decent artifact – a ring +1/+1.

Kirya was definitely a highlight, and Dessa, freed from prison at level 10 with an experience-boosting Pathfinder, was a great help in the swamps. She carried the Angel's Lair, and I barely managed to defeat them with a full trade in the secondary hero at level 127, completely ignoring the main hero. And 3 consecutive battles against 6 angels.

1st Round of Daddy from the chat (0-0-W) - HeroinHP (0-0-L)
It dealt the most chocolatey chocolate, 2 monks, Dragon Fly Hives, Griffin Conservatory 1, Mullich, Galthran, but then the opponent came, I had to fight him with a weak Mullich with identical stats, but the opponent, seeing that I had more power, realized there was no chance there.
Thanks for the game.

We started playing without resets. I have double and a Necro, that's not something you reset. At spawn I found another Dragon Fly Hive and a good path to the computer, which I think I killed on 113. But as it turned out later, due to a lack of wood, the secondary town didn't get built up at all, well, and in the main town there were horses in the Citadel. In the second week, I quickly grabbed 4 Dragon Fly Hives, took the center and the corner treasure. Bones are piling up, ducks too, and there are two Dragon Utopias. On 127 I made a mistake and didn't place the Angels, but I scouted not far from the portal, a Griffin Conservatory behind the Nagas +2 Pandora's Box and Shackles of War.
131 I kill Charun of the Blue with an Angel, who was doing something near my respawn, the Shackles are relevant. Next, a Dragon Utopia with the Helm of the Alabaster, and a little on stats, followed by a second one that was junk, both minor. In the Tavern, another Necro this time, Clavius with good parameters, the size of the army is pleasing. I went to kill the computers, while my opponent took the main town, the secondary town, and the corner treasure. There's a ton of mana and a big spell there, the fact that I came and wasn't afraid of the army for some reason hinted at an impla. Well, nothing to do, I went in search of Dragon Utopias, and Sword of Judgement, and +2 to Health, and Town Portal. A week wasted, the only pluses were the increase in the army of bones and the maximum Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories pleased me.
On 211, out of desperation, I decided to take the main town, replenished mana to 140, and sat in the Castle. But no one attacked, and on the same turn I scouted a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia with a Dragon Fly Hive in the treasure, the journey was considerable, but with 2 Dimension Doors and 3500 mana, I got there in two days. The Dragon Utopia gives Sword of Judgement and +2 to Health, there's an Elixir of the Sword of Judgement, in the Tower I'm building a Marketplace and there I catch a Shield +3, and that's Armor of the Damned.
Next, I take the opponent's Swamp Castle with a grade of 120 ducks and leave myself exposed in it, for a week of chasing me, Ives shouldn't have missed.
Fireball without options, if only the minus morale had been every turn, but everything was different.
I'll repeat, I could have lost when there was a chance to get me in the main town on 211, as it turned out later there was an impla ON 4000 there, no alternatives, but I got lucky.
Thank you for the game!

I had 1 rest left, went into Ramp, and 2 Swamp + Dungeon comps, and then we started playing. Killed the comps very slowly, since by the time I reached the first one, it was about 5 days of walking, but I found a decent amount of gold, which allowed me to build Ducks and Griffins in Castle, plus a little for the buyout. The second, I started on the second Swamp and went from there into a treasure zone, since with the Dungeon hero scouting I revealed a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive in it. I found a bunch of Dragon Fly Hives and a couple of Dragon Utopias there. It looked decent, but the tempo was weak. There was no control, but the parameter rolls were good. After that, there was a home Dragon Utopia and a Dragon Utopia on the first Swamp respawn; at home a Griffins appeared, making it easier, but no Town Portal, and not in the fourth Dragon Utopia either. I cleared the second treasure zone, only for parameters. Then the reds come and take all the castles, while I find Angel of Death and Town Portal. And instead of positioning myself, either immediately on the Grass or in the Swamp with Cap + Angel of Death on fearless Alkin, I decided to wait for Growth and gather a Bow for 120 Elves. That was a clear mistake. I started losing castles, bad moves, etc. But on turn 214, I think, I took the Dungeon comp's castle, in the same treasure zone the reds scouted 2 Dragon Utopias and Dragon Fly Hives in the corner right after me. So Alkin spent the night there so I wouldn't claim the village and everything else. But all I needed was for him to be without a castle, since the Elves would decide the game). I attack, Fireball is pretty much hopeless.
Thanks for the game!

After all the resets, when I saw the swamp in the Tavern, I was happy, but when I revealed my respawn, sorrow came :D
2 Dragon Fly Hives (8+4), an external dwelling of cows, Ducks, about 5-6 Gnolls, and a hefty Griffin Conservatory with Guardian Spirit.
The respawn was large, so I couldn't gather everything quickly.
On the first day, I only built 1-6 in the Citadel.
I emerged around day 124 with Tyras using oil via Necro horses. Mana was only 10, but that was enough to also kill the Unicorns for a shield +12 and Necro boots.
Next came +5 all stats and a Dragon Fly Hive; a red loser appeared in the wasteland, Kyrre of all people with excellent stats and a Dragon Utopia nearby. I had to go through the wasteland with the main hero to chase them off and enter the Dragon Utopia; thankfully, the stats were already decent. I gave away meat in tier 3, hoping for a Key of Salvation, but I got Wings, a Helm +10, and a Captain's Hat :cool: .
Nearby was Mephala with an army, who attacks on her turn. I'm stronger in stats, but there was oil and an army advantage; I had to buy my way out. I have 4 Angels, 27 Ducks, and 1+1+1 Mighty Gorgons. She has 1 Angel, 20 Ducks, lots of Gremlins, and Mages.
Day 127 was spent replenishing mana and buying artifacts on the Black Market for +1 Speed and +1 all stats.
Day 131: a home Dragon Utopia with a minimum loadout containing a Book of Water; the plan to capture the central Castle didn't work out, so I had to wait until the next day. I dug up a level 10 Green in jail; he is preparing to break through 50+ Giant Cyclops for the prison next turn.
Day 132: upgraded the Ducks, roughly 32, and I buy them out. The 78 Cyclops got beaten; they gave me a hard time, but in the prison is the mage Aenain, level 30. In the arsenal: Water Magic, Catapult, Intelligence. I head towards the Castle to buy out Tyras there and take the central Dragon Utopia, but Mephala is sitting there with all her might.
Vision showed 19 mana; essentially I only have water spells in my arsenal, but I'm counting on a lot of mana and I attack.
I have 4 Angels, 6 Mighty Gorgons, 1+16 Gnolls, 1+31 upgraded Ducks.
Mephala: 280 Gremlins, 3 Titans, 1+1 upgraded Djinn, 1 Angel, 15 Arch Mages, 32 Ducks.
I ruin the fight as much as I can, but I crawl out with 4 Cows :smile04: after which the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

GO on rough terrain, the only road to the metro through 10-19 snipers. There are 3 Dwarf Cottages, lots of money and lots of crypts, though on mud, they were hard to take. 2 Griffin Conservatories, one level 2 with griffins, the second unchecked, 4 Troglodyte external dwellings, a Minotaur external dwelling taken on 116, and in the backwoods an external dwelling of cats. On 117, with the last move, for some reason I colored the Troglodyte external dwelling, cursed for a long time. As a result, on 121 Troglodytes in the portal. Plenty of money, 16 Minotaurs take the second town without issue, I split for a mana double and for the second Griffin Conservatory, fortunately the opponent hadn't moved far away. And then the opponent hits the guard of the adjacent zone 3 seconds before the end of the turn. I reach it with papa, having previously fed 3 scout heroes to cut down units and mages. Mana 120 or 160, the opponent has 14. In terms of raw power, I have a full advantage, in stats roughly equal. Well, naturally, 4 Nagas and 160 Gremlins don't work against 16 Minotaurs, 2 Angels, a hundred Troglodytes, and a hundred Skeletons.

A very good respawn with 3 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Griffin Conservatories (both Tier 1s), the only thing spoiling the overall picture was a block of 17 grave necroka on the exit from the respawn. On the second [day], having collected the Dragon Fly Hives and Conservatories, I break through the block. Then I take the computer [player] and immediately break through to the corner and central treasure zones. Things are dire there — on both treasure zones there is 1 Dragon Fly Hive, 1 Conservatory, and several boxes without Dragon Utopias. At the computer's Mage Guild I built Flight and Town Portal. Only on 143 did I find and break a slag-Dragon Utopia, got a flask and assembled the elixir. A couple of days later a second useless Dragon Utopia, and Shahri [player] jumped in there too. In FB I was slightly behind in stats, but the meat advantage was enough for victory.
Thanks for the game!

Of course, it's a bit sad to post such a victory, but my opponent had a really bad start. But... if I hadn't killed Masha before turn 131, everything would have ended badly for me. Her main base is a bit sad, but her secondary bases are great. There are 7 cons and decent troops, while I only have a decent base, and the rest is sad...

In principle, I was already winning in the previous game, if it weren't for the stupid blunder with the pawn, and Masha reached it on turn 115, thus getting a rematch, and I had a perfect situation there... And why did I blunder with that pawn... But in the end, justice prevailed :)

I made a mistake, please correct the header, it says Tower and Kira and Kira... I'm just impressed by the rematch...
