I messed up...
Thanks for the game, sorry about the ending.

the game dragged on, but under the pressure of time, my opponent miscalculated and put his father in a vulnerable position.
thanks for the game

Didn't get much of an army split.
On week 1, I completely cleared 2 treasure sites like a beast! And took the brown computer player FALX. All the gnolls were spent, resulting in 117th place by army strength, second to last. Very tight on money; I postponed building the Wyvern until day 117, until I found a market! Hurray! Wyverns in the Citadel. In one of the treasure sites, there were 2 Dragon Fly Hives and 3 external dwellings of Firebirds.
Week 2. I collected 2 Dragon Fly Hives, which kind? 4 each, that's enough; I lost more breaking through the guard. The birds gave me hope. But near the last one lay a Pandora's Box, guarded by 50+ Genies - I attack them with 80 (with a hero). Only managed to defeat 60. Tazar was leveling poorly, end result was ГГ.
Thanks for the time.

Thank you for the game.

Good roads, tight on gold, on the first week 1-7 in the fort. On week 121, with some losses of the ogre from the dwarves and dendroids, I broke a tier-3 Griffin Conservatory, the next turn another tier-3 (full stacks with 3 morale, they killed the angel and finished off the centaurs). After that, with 5 angels, I collected clues, on week 126 or 127 I took the first Dragon Utopia with a shield +12 and something else for stats. On the third week, another one, there was a blue cap, then I went to pressure the opponent, captured some castles, and in the end managed to corner Kyrre with 2 Dimension Doors and shackles in her super-treasure (and the red player's super-treasure was magnificent, 7 or 8 Dragon Utopias, КЗ, a bunch of hives). Thanks for the game!

Grinya and Innochka arrived from the start. I earmarked the latter as a "mommy" (support), especially since she was given Log as her third skill. I broke through the passages to the center, to the computer, and to the village, then spread out across the roads, which turned out to be a mistake because there were skirmishes everywhere; I progressed slowly, using an auxiliary Hero to pick up butterflies. The presence of mages helped somewhat: Ciel, Grinya, and Luna arrived as the seventh hero at the end of the first week, who ultimately made the game for me. In the end, spreading out didn't pay dividends—there was almost no money on the roads. Toward the village, I eventually hit a wall of Cerberus. Due to the lack of funds, I could only build dwellings in the citadel. Out of desperation, I had to take the computer's citadel, which contained 6 golems; then Torgrim returned with 70 gremlins and 10+ gargoyles, and by the end of the first week, I only had 2 air elementals, 4 fire elementals, and a couple of butterflies left. It all looked like GG without an army, money, or prospects. In the second week, Luna—who spent 4 days visiting SP boosters and experience trees and gained Intelligence—began to pay dividends; I cleared the respawn and placed birds in the Castle. Luna took down a horde of swords for the bird dwellings, but of course, there was nothing to actually take them with; Ignes played the other flank. Moner arrived, and I decided to make him a "papa" (combat hero). Ignes killed 40 mage ogres for a chest and a stadium for Moner, but the same old one-level loser Moner remained, having visited 3 attacks, as the chest had money. In the third week, I took the bird dwellings, losing 1 to stupidity. A tree for 6 ducks; on the other flank, Inna takes a tree for 25 cyclops, also 6th, runs a bit further, finds and takes the max console. Near the computer's candle, there is also a console and part of the opponent's respawn; a home Dragon Utopia is visible there. I put chains in the center, where there are 2 Dragon Utopias and 2 Naga banks; the 3rd guild is built at home, money is needed to upgrade 6 psychics.
Then the opponent bursts into the center and, to my disappointment, takes both Naga banks and kills my loser who was rushed on a gargoyle and stable. At Kirri's place, 5-9 angels are glowing (the opp scares me saying there are 9), a pack of ducks, 5-9 horses, and a tray of grands. Combat stats there are 15, but Luna has 1 SP and 4 knowledge; her combat is 11, but she has 10 SP and 180 mana. She has Fireball for 150 and Bolt for 210. She can't reach Kirri; she was supposed to clash in the center Castle that the loser went to take. I move her away from a hypothetical strike to the snow respawn, transferring power there. A console—a double—is taken there.
The opponent, overconfident, apparently due to the lead in combat stats and the fact that I didn't even have psychics up in the first week, headed toward me and stopped at the portal on my respawn. From there, it's just a stone's throw to my capital. With a mage, I take down 6 grands there, leaving 35, and Luna attacks. Kirr: 5 angels, 9 horses, 11 ducks, 26 kents, 35 grands, 8 roots, pack of pegasi. Luna: 7 birds, 6 angels, 6 basic psychics, 9 ducks, pack of fire elementals, a few butterflies.
The opponent clearly didn't expect comparable power, and 180 mana with 10 SP against Kayri's 7 with 1 SP leaves him no chance.

Thanks for the game!

Gunnar is such a Gunnar, when he's in boots, gloves, and with a stable full of units.
He chased me across half the map.
Thanks for the game.
