Koldun_nsk(blue,tower,random,Kyrre) lose Master_A(red,dungeon,random,Sir Mullich) Jebus Cross 135

We played random towns, and this is what we got. We didn't take restarts. There was a huge respawn on the third part of the map, right next to the castle were 2 conservatories: with 5+ angels total. On day 1, seven heroes, and the eighth in the tavern was Kyrre, who for a long time didn't want to advance Logistics but instead took Armorer, Offense, Earth. Among the external dwellings, one was for nagas and 3 for mages. On the first [week], nagas with a castle + the external dwelling for them and 2 for mages, I plan at the start of the second [week] to take the conservatories, expert Earth, and go out. ГО is crappy, but without Mass Slow it's scary to go in. Apparently this was my main mistake — I kept trying to expert Earth and lost a lot of time on that. I took a Dragon Utopia, and the maximum [reward] gave me a Cap of all Magic level 5, a Sword of 12 Attack, a Book of Fire, and +3 to all stats, but the tempo was lost, and there's no army except nagas. On day 134, the opponent came and killed the split army; I set myself up hoping to buy back with Tactics, but Mullich had it too.

Thank you to the opponent for the game, it's a shame there was no fight.

We played full random. Didn't get elves from the start, but got Dimer and Mullich. Scouted several Dragon Fly Hives, Griffin Conservatories, leveled up Dimer's spell power to 6 on altars of experience/experience stones and on day 114, after building Unicorns, I entered a 20-49 Dragon Fly Hive. It turned out to be 6 Wyverns. Found/captured two external dwellings of elves, brought them back for upgrade. On day 116, with Dimer and Mullich as scout hero, I took three more Dragon Fly Hives totaling 22 Wyverns. On day 117, the scout hero took level 1 Griffin Conservatory, and Mullich broke two Pandora's Boxes for 10k experience with Vampire Lords and a Naga Bank. Mullich leveled up nicely: Archery, Wisdom, Offense, Tactics, Armorer. On day 121, Mullich took level 3 Griffin Conservatory, and on day 122, he sat down to refill mana in main town. The scout heroes scouted and picked up the Griffin Conservatory (turned out to be level 1) and three Dragon Fly Hives. On the second week, I built the Mage Guild up to level 3 because I found a scroll of Anti-Magic - already have Dragon Flies :) Found no decent artifacts except a hat of +4 Knowledge.
On day 124, I went to the center with 5 Angels, 42 Dragon Flies, and 66 Elves (found four external dwellings). Had to beat two Guardian Objects: Thunderbirds and Crystal Dragons. In the center on day 124, I cleared various useless junk and hit a Guardian Object in the adjacent zone - turned out to be the opponent. On day 125, I turned around and headed toward the scouted chests, Dragon Utopia, and a Dragon Fly Hive. On his turn, the opponent attacked Mullich with his main army.
The opponent had 2 Angels, about 40-45 Dragon Flies, and 65 Crossbowmen. He also had Oil and Papal Resist (Blind on Angels in the first round). But Mullich dominated.
Thanks for the game.[/QUOT



I confirm, thanks for the game

Game start after restart in tavern I see Gunnar, do recon with 5th hero, Shacti comes, I see 2 Dragon Utopias near the castle on 1 1 1 and 1 end, restart with such a layout wasn't appealing, on 1 1 4 I take external Manticore and 2nd castle and see another 2 Dragon Utopias, well I think it's a breeze, 1 problem only 1 Dragon Fly Hive was there, but the ends turned out to be 3 and 4, on 1 2 3 I take end 3, transfer army to Shacti, grab Cloak +2 speed and go take 2nd end, and as soon as I approached the end on 1 2 5 the opponent wrote gg that he suicided on Efreetis. Sadly though :(

The spawn was average. I picked up goblins, a couple of external dwellings, and birds. Captured a couple of minimal Dragon Fly Hives. Got wrecked and see an external dwelling of Behemoths. Took it with a scout hero with 4 attack. Morale triggered on the first try. Lost half the dogs. Ran my troops back to the Dragon Fly Hives and 2 Griffin Conservatories (40+30), already having Expert Earth with mass slow. Captured another minimal Dragon Fly Hive.
Opponent necroed. Tried to take an external dwelling of birds, I think, and threw somewhere somehow. GG WP

Used up all my restarts, the layout "pleased" me with a Piguedram with about 5 gargoyles and 2 blocked roads, but one must play :) on the first road there was a pack of ogre mages guarding the dwarf dwelling and boots with 50 gremlins without a cart; I decided not to fight them. Tazar was a own pleasure; on the second day I found 2 gremlin dwellings and saw an external dwelling of giants, 2 Dragon Utopia, a can, and a couple of hives. On the 3rd day I moved gremlins into the castle, upgraded them, and took the boots with the dwarf dwelling. Found another 2 external dwellings of giants in opposite corners of the resp; in the end, I took 2 out of 3 external dwellings + placed giants at home. At the start of the second week I took 2 Pandoras (experience and 15 archmages), a can, leveled up Tazar, ran around for upgrades—he stubbornly refused to level logistics. Recovered a +6 sword, took 3 hives for 18 wyverns. There was one more located in the middle of nowhere; I should have taken the Dragon Utopia and upgraded the giants, but I went to fight ГО. At 127 I stood near it, at 131 I broke through; efreits killed 2 angels, then titans killed another one, but Tazar finally leveled logistics :) at 132 the opponent wrote ГГ.
Thanks for the game!

Kirill Samoylenko (red, Stronghold, Гурни) lose Nick_Maniac (blue, Tower, Tower), 8mm6a 113
No restarts. Гурни without ballista. On day 1 I break through the Dungeon guard and get pummeled by the Necro-town. I try to continue playing somehow, but the lack of gold and army drops my morale to 0. GG.
