Thank you for the game.

Didn't work out.

My opponent took both resource towns, while I didn't, because
the situation was excellent; I focused on magic, with 30 archers and a log, and scouting revealed boots and a magic weapon on the first week. I expanded to 8 heroes by day 2.
However, my opponent decided to develop another direction and miscalculated in the battle with the orcs.
Thanks for the game.

Went out late but with gold dragons and 4k MP after taking 3 topes in the area. The last one was full and gave some good artifacts for might. Got full control in the desert and cruised it home. TFP.

Ran low on gold. Placed Guardians in the Citadel with 2 Water Nymphs. Summoned 100 Skeletons with Tant, at 116 took a tier-1 Griffin Conservatory. At 121, with Tant wielding the Oil, took the tier-3 Griffin Conservatory. Taz broke into the center. Spent the rest of the week collecting Dragon Fly Hives and artifacts. Picked up my own bot-Citadel with 2 Orc Nymphs on respawn — turned out to be a decent stack. Also leveled up Monya along the way. On 127, the Mana from one center was transferred by Taz to another center to Tant — he managed to take the Dragon Fly Hive and a +5 Necromancy artifact, but didn't have enough movement points to claim everything across the sands. On his turn, Gunnar attacked. He had little Mana and few troops, so dealing with him wielding the Oil wasn't a problem.

Thanks for the game!

Got poor income on gold. Placed fires in the Citadel with 2 Water heroes. Necro'd 100 skeletons with Tant, at 116 took the Griffin Conservatory min. At 121 with oil Tant took the Griffin Conservatory tier 3. Taz broke into the center. Until the end of the week collected Dragon Fly Hives and artifacts. Took my bot-Citadel with 2 Orc heroes on the respawn - a decent stack turned out. Leveled up Monya along the way. At 127 the wealth from one center transfers from Taz to another center to Tant - he manages to take the Dragon Fly Hive and the artifact +5 necro, but doesn't have enough moves to take all of it across the sands. On his turn Gunnar attacks. He has little mana and troops, so taking him down with oil was not a problem.

Thanks for the game!

A long and drawn-out battle, in which the opponent ran out of time and failed to fully gather the loot and artifacts on the map, resulting in a punishment from Taze in the form of a stun and shackles.

Thank you for the game.

We used all the restarts. We played with whatever was dealt. Few skeletons, strong guards, mostly shooters in stacks of 99. No caches, one Dragon Fly Hive is blocked, no cons, and roads are in shooter blocks. A very bleak start — if not for the backup hero Tunt, we could have surrendered on week 1, day 12, since there was no way to advance normally without serious losses. The Skull Helmet that dropped from Gosha turned out to be just right for this nightmare. Tunt barely had time to restore mana at the Castle after every battle.
On week 1, day 17, Gosha stood at the GO, but moved out on week 1, day 22 (180 skeletons total, 11 horses, and 4 ducks), I felt like grabbing an extra Ring of Speed +1, the only Dragon Fly Hive, and a Pandora's Box that were near the Castle under strong guards. Right past the GO, behind Greater Efreeti, lay a Tome of Earth and an Orb of the Earth. In just one turn, I reached what seemed like the center of the treasure area — well, at first it seemed like the center... The path upward was blocked by 99 Greater Efreeti; Gosha, lacking mana, didn't engage, and Tunt didn't have Expert Earth, so I went down the road, where I ran into the opponent's GO, 49 Red Dragons...
No Dragon Utopias, nothing at all, just a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and Pandora's Boxes. In a grave, I found a Succubus — small but pleasant, especially for Gosha against a Wizard Ciele. The opponent, seeing me at his GO, no longer went into that stretched-out, awkward treasure area.
Without stats or a significant army, I didn't rush straight at the opponent; I decided to see what was behind the Efreeti up top. It turned out I was only at the very start of the treasure area. 1 Dragon Utopia and a bunch of Pandora's Boxes on various piles of rubbish. 60 Pikemen, 20 Griffins, 10 Horses, 3 Archangels. Over the entire treasure area, I collected 47 ducks and raised my skeleton count to 700+.
The opponent, with Angel Wings, tried to come up with something to trap me, flying from his zone to the central Castle in the treasure area, but without Shackles of War and with my Succubus, he couldn't do anything. I was given all the Tomes and Orbs except Air, so I couldn't quickly catch or chase down the opponent. I just had to wait until he stayed in the treasure area or attacked me himself, which the opponent did on week 2, day 1. With or without the Succubus, he had no chance, even with his weekly growth of +10 Birds. The skeletons, with stats 32/19, dealt 2800+ damage with each strike and weren't in a hurry to die from the opponent's blows. And those 47 ducks nullified any of the opponent's stacks with a single hit.

Thanks for the game.

3 external dwellings of psychs and birds in the Stronghold on 1; 5 hives and a Dragon Utopia with +6 all before exiting to the center (126). Shakti arrived there a day earlier but was defeated in battle. Thanks for the game!

Almost 160 Troglodytes from the start, an external dwelling of Minotaurs, an external dwelling of Devils was taken... The opponent's plan with the computers didn't work out. Thanks for the game!
