(Tower) built by harpies

Looks like a bug, I need to replay.

Great start; by 115 I was already running with 8 heroes. By 117, I built up the rogues in the citadel + placed elves in the second Castle with an external dwelling. Leveled Gosh and Dess.
At 123, I killed 95 upgraded pegasuses :smile04: on home territory for a +6 sword and cartographer. With the cartographer, things opened up. Took 5 hives... ended up with 22 ducks. No diplomats. But in the underground, the cartographer showed me wings + КЗ + Kvozduha. At 132, I broke a double ГО. By 134, I took КВ and it was off! Flight-prisons-pandoras. Took the wings and КЗ at the other end of the map, leveled Ain in pandora - diplomacy kicked in, 3 heroes with 4 ДД. Basically, the timer vanished. Meanwhile, I see Kiryusha taking Dragon Utopia and joining troops.
At 135, I see a loser with all his might—opa, he's already joined quite a bit. Need to get him at any cost. First Gosh reaches the castle via 4 ДД, then Dess with 4 ДД and 4500 mp somehow reaches Opa. I kill almost everything he has; he pays off. Then I start squeezing opa, not letting him build back up.

Thanks for the game!

It's a pity that I gave away a promising game myself. After the Dragon Utopia, I decided to take a pandora for 10-19 Castle horses in the snows, instead of using Town Portal to go break ГО, but as it turned out, 15 чд were joining there.
The cartographer didn't help me; from control on all my zones, only КЗ from the utopia. Therefore, I didn't expect opa to appear at all.
Thanks for the game.

bubuch-Aya-what’s up with you guys?

We used all restarts and started. Starting in the Dungeon, the respawn is tiny, fully visible from the overview; it only has a Dragon Fly Hive and a Pandora's Box for 5+ wonders, a path to a secondary and ГО, and 2 exits along no-road. Also, part of some treasure zone opened up, with a shield +4 all visible behind hydras. Shakti has 3 stacks, everything is fine. On 111, I took the Dragon Fly Hive with Diamond Golems. The only thing bothering me was the lack of gold, 3 heroes on 111.

On the first turn, I took a Conflux secondary, checked the secondary Snow terrain, built 1-3 at home in the Fort + Portal. I found several Dragon Fly Hives (one paired with +1 Speed) and a convenient grass treasure zone with 2 Dragon Utopias, more Dragon Fly Hives, and an artifact giving +2 Speed. Initially, I planned to run toward the opponent on the second week, but the checked Snow exit revealed the opponent's movements, and it turned out Aislin was there. I decided to drag the game out.

On 121, I doubled my mana but forgot to buy a spell book. I took the Pandora's Box with Bears, and then a letdown — it was empty. But there were 7 Bears, clearly level 4, so it wasn't too bad; still no Wisdom. Then I ran to take the hives and into the treasure zone. The first Dragon Fly Hive was max, then a couple small ones, then I found more hives in the treasure zone, and I collected them all week. The guards were nasty; scouts helped as much as they could, but I had to fight most guards with my main. Great leveling — Armorer, Earth Magic, Logistics, Wisdom. I wanted to take the Dragon Utopias earlier, but both were max; I decided not to lose 30 Wyverns and instead collected more hives first. I spotted the opponent had taken the shield +4 all from the treasure zone.

At the start of the third week, I finished collecting the hives — the toughest ones remained, guarded by Efreet Sultans and Rust Dragons — I gathered 46 Wyverns. Via a chain, I took a visible hive from the Snow respawn, +6 Wyverns, making 52. I brought everything back and took both Dragon Utopias on 133. In the first, I got Sword +12, КВ, Blackshard of the Dead Knight, and of course, Captain's Hat. In the second, Wings and КШ — just what I needed. My army left was 46 Wyverns and 6 Red Dragons (I didn't take them into the Dragon Utopias). I set off toward my opponent via ГО, broke through from my side (50+ Efreet Sultans' worth of Necro Horses) and stopped before the exit. And then I see Aislin running into that treasure zone where the shield +4 all was, killing the Phoenixes for a Pandora's Box and powering up. I end my turn. I see Aislin on a Black Dragon, nearby a scout with "up to 500 Skeletons", and Gunnar with 2 Firebirds and Rampart troops running around. I Dimension Door toward Aislin, put on the Orb, attack the scout with Skeletons. There are 300+ of them, 4 remain, the scout runs away. I attack Aislin; he retreats. I position myself so Gunnar can't run away from me. Next turn, I kill Gunnar and see Aislin running toward my respawn through a passage in the Snow. I place scouts to slow him down, position Shakti to reach my town, and build Dragons at home. I plan to upgrade them next turn, while scouts from secondary towns run to reclaim the Sulfur.
On 141, Aislin takes my Dragon Fly Hive but doesn't make it to the Dungeon, stopping right within Shakti's reach. I fly over to him; through fights and trading, I still manage to afford the Dragon upgrade, upgrade 7 of them — just what I needed; now we have first strike, I remove the КШ, and attack Aislin. I cast Slayer and kill his entire army. He has 1 Bird, 1 Black Dragon, 1 Crystal Dragon, 3 Silver Pegasi, and Skeletons. He surrenders.

Thanks for the game.

Thank you for playing!

The tournament is running smoothly, which is great! :)
The draw will be held in the usual place, and the duration of the tournament remains unchanged (2 weeks).

Boots from the start, decided not to take the last rest, respawn is bare and small, except for Griffin Conservatory 2-4, but the neighboring respawn has some gold and three Griffin Conservatories. Kiryusha's is textbook-style, I can't find slow anywhere, the Griffin Conservatories only start to drop around 124. And then Klava arrives, on the last turn I gather the Griffin Conservatories and hide in the Castle with 9 Angels.
Klava couldn't handle it.
Thanks for the game!

I started with boots, decided not to take the last rest, the respawn point was bare and small, except for the 2-4 cons, but the neighboring respawn point had money and three cons, Kiryusha played it like in a textbook, but I couldn't find any slowdown anywhere, the cons started to appear only around turn 124. And then Klava showed up, on the last turn I gathered the cons and holed up in the castle with 9 angels.
Klava couldn't handle it.
Thanks for the game!

Life is pain, that was my first thought after losing the 3rd game in a row.

Pretty rich map and tacs, log and earth early on tazar. Took 2 lizard dwells week 1 so had a good stack of lizards. Could take some hives and 2 cons and 127 I broke opponents chain so he couldnt bring new troops from his town. I had both view air and earth. That made the opponent rush me with 7 angels and full army on a strong hack. Luckily he came close to where I was and 131 I could buy out take a tope that gave plus 17 to might and attack with 35 wyvs, 4 angels, 15 cows and close to 100 lizards. Thanks for playing.

Thanks for playing.

On 123 I had 7 angels and two behemots, and decided to kill tan to buy book and improve my economy. But there was very long and curved way to him, so I came there only at the end of the week. I decided to take tope on 131, but on 127 suddenly blue Brissa broke my chain. It prevented my taking of tope and I had to move Crag back to get army. I hoped that Tazar wouldn't attack me this turn, or even if he attack me, that 7 angels, 4 behemots and some other Citadel troops with mass-hast wouldn't be easy prey on 131, and FB would be with chances for me. But I was wrong.
Thanks for playing.

The audacious Gurnisson, with his large cannon, quickly chased the nimble Kir out of his home and pursued him across fields and forests until Kir's horse collapsed :D.
Thank you for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Initially, I had no chance, but then I played the end of the game poorly.
Thank you for the game!

What is this new option – confirm the report for Cobra?
