All the restarts were wasted again, but it ended nicely =) I noticed Chaos Zone with hydras almost immediately, and a little later, a +6 all hat from upgraded Necromancers. Basically, they delayed my entry into the Treasure. Also, two large contingents were surrendered with 3 and 4 angels. On day 7, I had 3 hidden tiger lairs and my home town with a portal. So, on day 121, I had about 28 tigers. After that, everything went smoothly - I took the Chaos Zone, the hat, both contingents, and another hidden tiger lair. I took the minimum home Utopia and got wings + Knowledge! Perfect - full control! =) After that, I went to the center where I encountered the opponent, but I couldn't reach him, and he fled into the fog. Seeing his army, I realized that I was much stronger in terms of both strength and stats. I started the offensive. I killed the scouts and decided to immediately take his main castle, as I saw that he had fled to the Companion's respawn. I cut him off from his home respawn, captured his castle in the Treasure, and was ready to go look for Crag at the Companion's respawn, but the opponent wrote GG.
GG! Thank you for the game!

Full random JC, coin flip + 112 restarts

I killed the GO (99 Wyverns) on 126 bc I decided to spend 2 turns to pick up Angel's Wings which let me fly over Gold Dragons and speed up things in the desert.

On 134 I killed his GO (Efreet Sultans), he attacked me with 1 Pixie on 136 and gave up.

Thx 4 the game!

Venton (Flux, Inteus, Grindan) def Ihromant (Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre)
JC, coin flip + 112 restarts, random towns, starting heroes and bonus selected (except Flux, by the HW rules).

I broke into desert on 123 (Manticores), sadly it was off-road. Roads were guarded by Black Dragons (one road) and Red Dragons + Archangels (second). There was 1 more off-road entry guarded by Black Dragons. I took +5 all sword and had to return for mana, getting back to desert was slow bc of the off-road.

Ihromant broke on 127 (Ancient Behemoths), off-road too, but very close to the road (entrance guarded by misplaced Enchanters so the road was passable).

On 134 Ihromant killed my main road GO (Black Dragons) and entered into my starting zone. On 135 Grindan attacks Kyrre, Kyrre has the Red Orb, unfortunately for Grindan. Kyrre surrenders with very little army left, Grindan has about 35 wyverns left. Ihromant decides he wants to continue.

After that, a very long and intensive part of the game starts, clearing the map to get more stats and army, both players have full map control, Kyrre attacks Grindan twice in a hit'n'run style (damages my army with dragons or spells and then surrenders). The 2nd time it should have been gg, bc I finally found the shackles but I forgot to equip them at the end of the turn.

On 216 Grindan attacks Kyrre and kills his all army (6 Gold Dragons) round 1 with implosion.

Very good game, very good opponent, thanks for the game!

Started playing without restarts, immediately broke through to the Conflux town, revealed 3 Griffin Conservatories, one of them indeed with Faerie Dragons. Checked the rest - turned out to be 3-4, was registering to break through to the opponent's respawn, but then the opponent decided to concede, because his situation was completely dire.
Thanks for the game)
