02/14/2016 Nikolaevl (Red, Castle, Valeska, Das) vs CanaBeasT (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), Jebus Cross XL 117 (Blue win)
On turn 111 broke an external dwelling of Wyverns, found 3 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 by the road (20-49 Mages, and 50-99 Elves) on turn 116 Mages fell, on turn 117 opponent writes gg, morale-ridden Angels.
Decided to immediately play another one.

02/14/2016 CanaBeasT (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) vs Nikolaevl (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), Jebus Cross XL 125 (Blue win)
Gambled on 3 boxes on respawn, plus from the Observatory saw an external dwelling of horses, stables, a Dragon Fly Hive and Boots of Speed, and a Gnoll Flail chain.
The Boots, however, were quite far (10-19 Dread Knights).
On the first day broke a box, gained 5k experience. On turn 113, an external dwelling of horses. On turn 114, I placed stables, and then found 2 external dwellings of Angels (they fall on turn 146), but I already built horses ((. Scoured the entire respawn by the end of the week. Only 2 Dragon Fly Hives, not a single Griffin Conservatory. 1 Dragon Fly Hive behind Cyclopes, the other far from the road. On turn 117, horses in the castle. Spent a couple of days dicking around on the respawn, meanwhile scouts picked up the Boots, the Gnoll Flail, and I spotted my opponent's ГО (50-99 Grade Geese). Lost almost all the horses at the ГО (only 3 out of 11 left), in magic, Mass Haste. Looked at the opponent's amount of meat and realized it's GG. Engaged and got wiped ))
Thanks for the game (1-1).

15.02.2016 CanaBeasT (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) lose Inoxodec (Blue, Castle, Caitlin, Gundula), Jebus Cross 135
The game was a parade of fails. We got ourselves a decent respawn, the respawn turned out rich. Scouting on day 3 revealed 4 Griffin Conservatories and an external dwelling of Angels. But the guards were impenetrable and we had brought too little meat. And of course, Papa wouldn't show up. After dismissing 3 heroes, Hundle finally appeared. I decided to take the box with 90+ demons and a grand stack. I killed another 4 heroes there, finished it off with Hundle, and it gave me all the air spells... And Hundle has 1 knowledge. She couldn't even cast Fly until the second week... In the end, a financial crisis and a full trade at the 1 market to afford the Angels, so for me, the game was essentially from turn 121, but on explored territory, and with 2 Angels. And then I got greedy... and walked out, SHAME!, on turn 134 (I should have taken the Griffin Conservatories at home) with 19 Archangels and better stats than my opponent. In the end, I met him the next day, the Archangels flew up in 3 stacks, went pew-pew, GG WP.
Thanks for the game.

16.02.2016 Limera1n (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Crag Hack) def Prrog (Blue, Conflux, Fier), Diamond 134 SoD
The respawn is poor on gold, but there is an external dwelling of elves, we dive into the underground, find Wings behind the golems, and 3 Dragon Fly Hives in a small area.
113 - Crag Hack moves in, we respec to him, upgrade the elves, break a Pandora's Box of 15k XP guarded by 60 ogres with Crag Hack, losing 1 Grand, 5 Centaurs, and the behemoth.
115 - break through for Wings and take a Hive with 6 Dragon Flies. Crag Hack - level 11, no Earth or Logistics :(.
117 - pick up +6 Attack on a nearby respawn.
121 - break through 20-49 Genies and 19 Unicorns for a Hive and a Pandora's Box, and hallelujah, Earth and Logistics.
After that, take several more Hives and 2 Griffin Conservatories with 2 Angels each.
124 - a 4 Dragon Utopia falls, nothing worthwhile dropped except +2 Attack.
Week 3: Two more Dragon Utopias fall, and a Library is taken. Total: Crag Hack 33/33 with the Book of Air, 200 mana, and 3.5k movement points. I find the opponent and take his villages.
134: I put Kyrre out as bait with +1 Speed. The opponent attacks with a scout hero's army; I buy back. The opponent can't handle the army. The next turn, I cover with Crag Hack using Dimension Door.
Thanks for the game.

02/22/2016 MoxuTo (Blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) win dan_choi (Red, Castle, Kaitlin, Nila), Jebus Cross 136

I went to the center on turn 123 and took almost everything there. The opponent could only get to 131, and that decided the outcome of the game.
P.S. I've seen this player before on WCL; he seems to want to switch over here. I wish him the best of luck playing here!
Thanks for the game.

Muunis a.k.a. MR (Red, Necro, Tamika, lost) vs. Venton (Blue, Flux, Tazar, won).

Full random, Balance L, FB on 216, Tazar caught Tamika without army (I had Fly and TP) but my army was definitely stronger anyway.
