On the map, there were 5 hives on the respawn point, each with about 33 vipers, and 2 Pandoras with 15k experience. I started clearing the center on day 125, hoping to find an army in the Pandoras with various 100-level elementals and 10-19 black dragons, but it was all for experience. Before surrendering, I saw that the opponent had a larger army than my 25-28 vipers and 1 angel. The stats didn't seem to show a very big difference. I had a potion of life.
Thank you for the game.

One path with a pegasus block. On the first day, I took two dungeons and a temple. 113 conscripts, 1 archer. 2 artillery on Necropolis. I gathered a well. 4 hives. GO - nagas, wizards. On day 125, I finally retrained slow, spending ~20k. Thanks for the game.

The loot was decent: 2 consumables, 1 single-use item, boots, and +4 attack behind trees and gnomes. There wasn't much money, but the opponent lost a lot of units and surrendered. Thanks for the game!

That happened to me too. I foolishly lost a lot of troops on the second day, tried to hold on and do something, but by the end of the week, I only had mages in the Fortress and practically no money for reinforcements.

Thanks for the game!

10/13/2014 Be3y4uu (Blue, Castle, Valiska, Shakti) defeated skd (Red, Inferno, Kalh), diamond, 124. It was a quick game. 111 - I upgraded archers (managed to get 23 of them right from the start). The opponent started grinding with earth and slow spells, so I thought, "Here comes the big guy." 112 - Shakti arrived and became the big guy =). In the first week, I captured 2 of my own castles, which were already built up with archers (in the end, I only managed to upgrade to level 52 archers by the time I met the opponent). There was a stable near the castle, so I decided to build up horses because the resource spawn was also poor, and I had to come up with something every day. In the second week, I was preparing to meet the opponent, but I was going to sneak up on him through the underground and attack. However, on turn 124, a red invader came out of the monolith and attacked my lands, killing Sanya and his beautiful horse (I missed her so much =), and almost reached my defenseless castle. As a result, Shakti was defeated, and I had to dump all my treasury into the evil merchants in the market to buy the Lord the Book of Magic (otherwise, I would have been in trouble...). There was nothing to wait for, so I attacked... The Red's army: 3 Efreet, 5 Rukh, 5 Bears, 42 Gogs, and strategic Imps. King Shakti's army: 52 Grand Archers, 84 Pikemen, 10 Crusaders, 4 Champions, and strategic Griffons. The opponent had 10 mana, and I had 20. The scariest thing in the battle was, of course, the blindness on the archers, but luckily, the book had healing. The archers did most of the work! Thank you for the game

10/13/2014 Be3y4uu (Blue, Castle, Valiska, Shakti) defeated skd (Red, Inferno, Kalh), diamond, 124
Confirmed. There were two roads leading out of the city, one to a one-way path, and the other to a village and a company. On the first road, I took this company with a Barbarian, and he had a hidden stash of Behemoths and an Outer Market on his respawn point. I took the stash and managed to place the Behemoths. On the second road, I decided to attack the opponent with 5 Behemoths. In the tavern, the stats were more or less even, but in his turn, Shakti attacked with 16 attack, taking a +6 attack sword in the last turn, and 50 gold. The archers hit hard with 16 attack =), the blindness was countered, so I couldn't block them. Maybe I should have spent one turn upgrading the Gogs, but I thought that 5 Behemoths would be enough.
Thank you for the game.

myduck (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Tazar) def Fill-ua (red, Inferno, Octavia, Octavia) Jebus Cross, 125
Consa 3-ка, 16 sultans, double, in Pandora 45 gogs, guild level 4, 2 ifrit lairs. The road to the Grail is very long, and there were about 46 queen-nagas, so we lost in the end...
Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

There was a choice between Tazar and Kyrria with a book. Decided to build up the former. 3 hives, external dwelling of angels, they are also in the castle. +2 consas for 3 angels. 2 Dragon Utopia ones with КО and hat +4+4. ГО - upgraded bears at 123 with 8 archangels. Opponent surrenders, thanks for the game.

13.10.2014 Marrakesh (Blue, Dungeon, Shakhti) def Camaxtli (Red, Fortress, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 134

With Shakhti, two stacks came in, but there's a Griffin Conservatory nearby. We play.
The Conservatory minimum falls immediately, I break through to the necro respawn, find a Naga Bank, a Dwarf Cottage, and an Imp Cottage with a sword +6 to attack behind a group of Cavaliers. I take the Dwarf minimum, break through the prison guard, and get expert Earth. In the necro, I take the tome, learn Earth, and everything is good.
I take the Naga Bank and at the end of the week, Cats are in the Citadel.
On 1-2-1, I take the sword +6.
I want to rush, but there's no passage to the opponent, the passage to the secondary is blocked by ГО.
I break through upward, but there's a swamp there without roads. In the end, there's nowhere else to go.
I go to check the treasure zone, find a Dragon Utopia. On day 131, Shakhti (14-8) with 190 Gargoyles, 8 Cats, 11 Minotaurs, and chaff in the form of Gargoyles (30) and Pikemen (30), takes the Dragon Utopia on 3 Black Dragons.
A tome of Earth and a shield +4 to everything drop.
I break into the Castle, take the Mana Vortex, buy everything available (8 Cats, 176 Gargoyles, 31 Evil Eyes, 16 Greater Medusas, 3 Harpies) +180 mana and go to the ГО.
The ГО on my side has a horde of Castle Champions. I lose the tent, 3 Harpies, and 55 mana. On the other side, a horde of Greater Hydras. I lose the tent, 5 mana, and 3 Troglodytes.
I go to the opponent's castle, but it's nowhere in sight.
The next day, I'm one step short of the main, but Tazar attacks himself.
Tazar has 4 Angels, 6 Hydras, 15 Greater Basilisks, 30+ Greater Serpent Flies, 21 Lizardmen, but an Implosion for 1000 HP decides it.

Thank you for the game.

13.10.2014 Marrakesh (Red, Castle, Valeska, Grindan) def Camaxtli (Blue, Dungeon, Shakhti) 2sm4d(3) 142

In the tavern, Grindan, next to the house a Naga Bank, many roads, a Dwarf Cottage - we play.
Valeska breaks through blocks and takes the Dungeon secondary. Grindan experts Earth and waits for his hour. On the first week, Cavaliers in the Castle. On the second, I take Nagas, Dwarves, a Conservatory on 2, and put Angels in the town.
On the third, I put Archers, take the mana doubling in the Dungeon, a shield +6 to defense, and prepare to go to the opponent.
ГО of a horde of Angels on both sides. Breaking through the ГО, I immediately take the castle and Shakhti attacks himself.
Grindan has 7 Archers, 90 Marksmen, 15 Zealots, 14 Champions.
