A sad start - on the first week I took a secondary Inferno hero, ran into a block in the treasure zone, and for the other secondary hero a conflux, so I had to spend the entire second week clearing nagabanks and Dwarf Cottages on the Inferno respawn. I put up Pit Fiends and decided to demonize. On the third week, water magic appeared - I grabbed some of the treasure zone, took a Barbarian secondary hero, ate a Dragon Utopia. Somewhere in the middle of the third week, Moner took my main Castle via Dimension Door. I didn't get control until the end of the game, so I couldn't defend. After that we ate our own treasure zones and at 217 FB. Kyrre 36-28-18-15, 130 demons, 70 dragons, 9 angels, 18 Pit Fiends, 2 phoenixes with Refuges. Moner 23-23-21-21, 3 angels, 60 dragons, 36 horses, 80 Marksmen, crosses, trolls, and griffins. Mass Haste first round and a clash with everything. We exchanged explosions - mine with a boost at 2500. The meat advantage decided it in two rounds.
Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Thanks for playing.

standard layout: Lorelei start, nothing on the respawn (CAPTAIN'S NECKLACE!!!), looking for something to portal: went into the adjacent zone — also empty, I go further — there's a Dragon Fly Hive behind cyclopes, I go further through roadblocks and OH MIRACLE! EXTERNAL DWELLING OF SKELETONS! barely held myself back from portaling, reached the opponent on 117, there's an insane detour to the town, with the growth I'm an easy target, I turn around, the computer comes out from the respawn through no-man's-land and cuts off my CRUCIAL chain (2 heroes), spent half a week to return home, I break through triple guards into another adjacent zone, next to a +5 shield, grab it and on 131 I sit down in a dungeon, I ramp up before the Dragon Fly Hive behind gr. piles. Resources and a level 2 shrine added value — 95 gr. piles. There I lose most of the army, there's nothing left to take the Dragon Fly Hive with, no money for reinforcements (could have had some but the same computer recaptures its town, all his heroes are mages with a easy-game cannon. thanks for the game

Started on the surface, explored the first log, took a second-tier Castle, and had 160+ skeletons in the Citadel. My opponent was using Haven and had a powerful Knight in the tavern. I decided not to go for the treasure and instead rush with Necropolis units. On turn 122, I had 2 Shieldbearers with +6, an Ice Golem with 150 attack, and a Blind. My Knight with 3 upgrades reached the opponent's main castle, where he was defended by a Knight, 5 Angels (180 skeletons), 5 Ducks, and 2 Champions. I continued into the Dungeon towards the Necropolis. On his turn, the opponent attacked with Griffins, Skeletons, and 8 Angels (he had scouted and maxed out his Skeleton production). I had 5 Knights, 7 Liches, 18 Marksmen, 250 Skeletons, 2 Angels, and 11 Wraiths. I had a slight advantage in terms of stats, but he had 90 mana and Oil of Speed. In the end, Blind proved decisive, and I won without much difficulty.
Thanks for the game!

A hell and heaven in this game. Good starting zone, 2 unicorn glades and one external for pegasi. Day 5 Galthran in tavern. But Kyrre already level 6. Trying to go fast to the neighbours, but underground weird: choose two paths, one of them huge and no pillar of fire, of course, many unsignifiant artefacts, banks and few sad pandoras and a necro town, the other way finaly goes to the neighbour castle which was a "Castle" with capitol in it. But only six hives in a huge area, but "luckly" 3 conservatories with 8 angels, and the worse part only one utopia, far far away from road with a good reward for me: 20k, boots of polarity, vampire cowl, pendant of holiness and endless sack of gold . In week 5 my opponent with a better "dressed" hero (Tazar) hesitated to atack me with a better army. 2 weeks I tryied desperately to find something to improve my hero stats and to keep my towns, but the result of improvement was very small, and this gave time to my opponent to increase the number of demons and wyverns. Not happy ending for me, but a lot of lessons and that's a start for a happy end. I enjoyed a lot this game, thank you very much for game Loinz.
