Izgoy (blue, Conflux, Tazar) def Superseb (red, Conflux) jebus cross 115
The start seemed decent, but upon closer inspection, things weren't great – either archers or a group of wizards.
Basically, there was nowhere to level up near the Moon Goddess, so on day 5, I took everything I had and went to break through. But they stopped me.
Thanks for the game!

Report on Gi5d vs ANDREY (not a master at writing reports:smile43:):

22.04.2015 Izgoy (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) lose Superseb (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) Jebus Cross 127.

The initial distribution seemed own not bad; there were about 90 skeletons in total, plus level 2 meat. On the second day I take Pandora's box, with a nomad horde defense, 40 skeletons remained, but they gave 15 upgraded vamps. After that it was just simple. I smash everything I want, I take two level 7 external dwellings plus one level 6 external dwelling before the end of the week. Plus I find another box with 15 vampires; in total by the end of the first week there are already 30. On 122 I take the Dragon Utopia and upgrade level 7. Right at the exit I meet the opponent, he hides in the Castle, I attack him right there.
Thanks for the game!

23.04.2015 Izgoy (Red, Swamp, Tazar) lose Superseb (Blue, Necropolis, Galthran) Jeb; 122
A second loss in a row to Necro. This time - just a complete wipe on ГО. 24 Archers without oil doesn't work against him ) - at first I thought the respawn was rich. But aside from two hives, there was practically nothing. Had to drag it out. Without restarts. Turned out to be impossible! Thanks for the game.

Fill-ua (Tower, Torosar, Luna) def PutinKing (Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 115 JC
Sacrificed Luna, two native Tier 2 units, Pandora for 10k experience with 60 trolls, and the entire fourth stack for 45 pits. Luna: attack fire, attack wisdom, advanced ballistics, attack magic, base intelligence 0 1 8 6. Thanks for the game.
Fill-ua (Stronghold, Gretchin, Gretchin) def PutinKing (Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 117 JC
Sacrificed 3500 movement points with Gretchin: attack offense, advanced pass, attack logistics, base mysticism, base tactics, base literacy 12 4 2 5. I would have exited with 70 vivas and 4-6 ancients on the third week through some kind of hydras. Thanks for the game.

25.04.2015 Superseb (Blue, Necropolis, Galthran) deff Izgoy (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Pacis) Jebus Cross; 126
The start was a bit harsh — there was a block on half the spawn right next to the castle (a group of Efreets), but it was nice to have two external dragon dwellings right next to the castle; I took them, then entered the stable, grabbed two Dragon Fly Hives, and off we went...
Even though there were somewhat few skeletons, on day 126 I encountered the opponent in the treasure zone; he was again sitting in the castle restoring his mana, so I attacked him there (my mana pool was full, since I had done exactly the same thing the previous turn).
The army was significantly larger, and the stats were slightly better too, and without mana there was no point in fighting. In the end, the opponent surrendered.
Thank you very much for the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We'll have a rematch soon)))

26.04.2015 Jelen117 (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Splinter (blue, Citadel, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) spider 125
Marvellous map and really good execution from me. I'm proud.
No res taken, we both had 112.
111 - I had very little gold on map, 4 heroes in the end of the day, found dwarven treasury, Hive and a Griffin Conservatory. Because of these objects I decided to pass, however I thought about taking res 112 if map turns out to have too little gold.
112 - Still very little gold. I found unicorn dwelling, another 3 Griffin Conservatories (checked 1 and it was throng) and pandora guarded by horde of boars. With such start I couldn't take res. Kyrre already had expert logistics.
113 - I took dung in U not belonging to any player. It meant I could have even had 15 unicorns in the beginning of week 2. I also found speed boots guarded by lots of water elementals and placed Kyrre just before. I thought about taking boots and then going for near pandora. Barely built pegasus in town.
114 - I resigned from taking boots with Kyrre as my army was 11 grand elves, 40 centaurs and 29 gremlins only. With 1 upgraded stack it would mean great losses. Instead I have gone for pandora guarded by boars and played a very good battle there. There were ~85 +-2 and i lost half of my gremlins stack and 15 centaurs but I was rewarded with 50 dwarves from pandora. Then I could go for boots without losing majority of my army.
115 - So Kyrre went for boots, only ~15 waters and 8 ice elementals so no problem. I lost 1 elf, 10 still left, but I had problems with gold and gems. Found another Dragon Fly Hive. I rushed with Kyrre for town guarded by ai as my road to another dung was blocked by lots of magmas. Whatever I wouldn't build there portal of summoning as I had too little gold.
116 - Kyrre took flux town losing. 9 elves, 55 dwarves and 11 cents left after this and Brissa was incoming so I was afraid I would lose all my army but for slow dwarves. With another heroes I explored my area, found stables quite a road from town but decided to go 121 there with Kyrre. She already had 3k mps. Perfect chain was set to take unicorn dwelling last 2 moves with Isra. After Brissa's attack I had only 3 elves and no cents but still 55 dwarves.
117 - I performed my chain, Isra took unicorn dwelling and luckily I found gems my last chance. I built portal of summoning, unicorns in town (had citadel) and recruited 4 unicorns trading almost all my resources (2 from portal and from dwell of course).
121 - Visited stables with Kyrre, retreated her to town. Gerwulf with 4 unicorns explored a bit of my area and I set a perfect chain for next day. Had little gold but planned to take dwarven treasury (horde) next day, recruit some unicorns and go for pandora guarded by orcs and Dragon Fly Hive next to it. Found another Griffin Conservatory in U and checked another dwarven treasury (throng).
122 - I executed the chain and recruited 6 unicorns from town. Kyrre had 10 unicorns and with this army only she went for pandora. It had 35 captain centaurs so she went for Dragon Fly Hive (horde) that gave 8 wyverns. I set a chain to take 4 unicorns from dung and take another dwarven treasury to get some gold. I started thinking about taking those Griffin Conservatories. It seemed that with Kyrre 8/8, necklace speed (Brissa gave) 8 wyverns and 14 unicorns with lots of meat I could take 150 griffins.
123 - I performed the chain, army brought back to Kyrre and she went for 1st Griffin Conservatory that was min. Next day I was going to upgrade unicorns and I set chain this day to take 2 Griffin Conservatories in U. Kyrre was planned to have a day off 124 only going for +2 arena and then heading for throng Griffin Conservatories. I also found a tope not so far away.
124 - I upgraded unicorns and rushed for a throng Griffin Conservatory with 1st level Geon 4/1. Conservatory turned out to be max, lost there 3 unicorns, 2 wyverns, 7 dendroids and half of my dwarves stack. Alagar was just before next Conservatory and chain set to reach Kyrre next turn. Plan was to take Conservatory in U and then 2 throng Griffin Conservatories with Kyrre, go for another Dragon Fly Hive with scout, Kyrre rushing for tope meanwhile. I knew Kyrre would take another skill in throng Conservatory and I was afraid of water as I already had wisdom and armorer.
125 - Conservatory in U was 2, had 7 angels, Kyrre took 1 100 griffins Conservatory and I had 9 angels with 1 Conservatory left. Kyrre took offence. Splitted army so that Kyrre could take cavaliers guarding the tope and the rest of army on scout to take another Dragon Fly Hive and Conservatory. Chain set to reach Kyrre.
And here opp gave up because of a poor map on his side. Whatever, next turn I would take 2 topes, 127 3rd as above the first tope were another 2 topes. 1st gave sandals +2, red orb, 2nd gave hh and tome of air, 3rd gave +4 all and soj. Then I would lack only +3 necklace for alliance. There was no problem with taking the topes as I had meat and even could have sacrificed my 12 wyverns.
I'm really proud of this game. I had perfect map but executed it well. From 122 it was jebus style, only issues how to set chain so that I wouldn't lose a lot of time.
Thanks for playing.
