08/12/2015 putin king (red, valeska) lost to battans (blue, -dungeon shakty) 116

good start for me, got dwels, minotaurs - made a portal, got black tower and church guard with some art, blocked roads, but got 2 neutral towns, saw two hives, 1 conflux and several wolf riders, in 112 must begin to get a good tempo, but the opponent lost his army (he had a not bad start, tazar had, gunnar had good objects - idk) - gg, hota diamond - thanks for the game

14.08.15 Thorvald (Red, Fortress, Wystan, Wystan) lose PutinKING (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Vokial) diamond 131

Opponent used all their rests, I had one left. It seemed like everything was going rather mediocre, few resources, but my eye caught 4 Dragon Fly Hives. Poked around in different directions, but couldn't really bite the computers properly. Did a poor job scouting, fought poorly, and started leveling the papa only on 117-121... As a result - 28 upgraded Ducks on 131 and Wystan level 9. Spotted the opponent's angels a long time ago, thought maybe I could catch up, but alas. Glimpsed the archangels, Vokial's stats, and decided to surrender, as I had already started mentally putting myself in the loser's mindset.
Many thanks to the opponent for the game. It's always nice to play with someone more experienced than you, you learn faster that way =)

10.08.2015 - 14.08.2015 Armageddets (Red, Necropolis, Charna, Charna) def Night Troll (Blue, Fortress, Bron, Shakti) 8mm6a 245

Start in the underground. The respawn was almost empty. There was only an external dwelling of zombies. Two objects with +1 spell power or knowledge, but there was no money for them. But I decided to clear the useless respawn for a week by leveling necromancy and gathering some skeletons. On 121 I built Lichs and went out onto the snow. I happened to be at a crossroads and went up along the easiest guards. As a result, on 127 I took a Dungeon and found 2 conservatories. I spent the entire third week visiting objects and farming skeletons. From the start of the 4th week, I took 2 conservatories for the third and fourth. Afterwards (in the second month) I broke through into the underground and there I took an Inferno village and external dwellings of bone dragons, zombies, and skeletons. Then I clear the underground respawn and go out into the Inferno treasure where I take a Dragon Utopia. The Dragon Utopia was so-so - I got a couple of normal artifacts and a Tome of Earth. By this time, my opponent had already taken several Dragon Utopias and was superior to me in stats. In the middle of the third week, I go and capture the Castle of one of the Fortress computers. I place a scout hero there with growth from the Dungeon. The main hero catches the main hero of this computer and farms skeletons on him. Troops from the native Castle are continuously sent along the chain, all upgraded except skeletons and dragons. I break through into another underground, there I take 1 Dragon Fly Hive, but I don't need it, as I have a lot of native troops by this time. I give 4 Wyverns to the scout hero. Another castle is taken. After that, I take all possible growth from the native Castle with my main hero and go to the purple computer, but it turns out its Castle belongs to my opponent. I capture the Castle, after which he attacks me on the road. I have a big advantage in army, but he has it in stats. I had Slow and Resurrection, but only 3 guild levels were built - so I only used Haste and Animate Dead. The opponent cast Armageddon twice - somewhat evening the odds - he had Phoenixes. But still, the size of the army decided the outcome. I had approximately 2300 skeletons. My hero had leveled Expert Defense, Luck, Earth, Air, Logistics, and something else I don't remember anymore. In general, I won not without the help of the purple computer, which considerably battered my opponent. Thanks for the game.

08/15/2015 battans (red, Rampart-kyrre) lost to andi (blue, Dungeon gunnar) 125 - 8mm6a

idk, good start for me. Dwells, unicorns, and elves. Killed one, came, got dwells, got cons in 122. 3 angels - my army: 3 angels, 9 unicorns, 33 elves. Grand, but he has 3 cons in his own area - omg. 9 angels, dwell, medusa. Doesn't see him when he attacks me. I have mass slow, but 9 angels in 125 is very strong - gg, thanks for the game.

15.08.2015 Bolotnik (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) lose Alexey-omsk (red, Dungeon, Lorelei, Luna), balance M-200% 133

at the start, we got good heroes: Kyrre, Gervulf with snakes and a ballista
my opponent got Luna, whom he managed to level up well, and who decided the outcome of the game...
my city building was limited to upgrading elves and GM1, I never built anything higher, my opponent also didn't use anything above eyes and gr. harpies, but did build GM4 with a whirlpool...
in two weeks, I gathered what I thought was a good army, and on the 2nd week I entered a portal to a small treasure zone, where I took a Pandora's box with 20 Cerberi..
then, having a good army and decent stats, I decided to break through the Beholders to get to the neutral Necropolis town..
I thought I was superior to my opponent in army and parameters, so I started attacking boldly, but I should have fled to the treasure zone on the sands and finished Expert Earth...
but my opponent beat me here by 1 day, and captured it before me, while my Kyrre was standing on the speed boost behind a guard blocking the passage...
and here I made a mistake that cost me the game and the win — I attacked Luna with Kyrre...
Kyrre got Earth Magic, but it never reached Expert Earth...
I was better in army and attack/defense parameters, but I was significantly inferior in magic, which ultimately decided the outcome of the game, when Luna with a little over 100 mana against Kyrre with 3 mana wiped out Kyrre's entire army using only spells, as a result I had to go home to respawn and replenish losses
then I tried to make more futile attempts to attack my opponent's mages with my troops...
in the end, without magic there was no chance to win there anymore, and the advantage had tilted completely to the opponent's side
so on turn 133 the only correct decision was made — to surrender to my opponent, who played better and faster, and congratulate him on a well-deserved victory.
