Thank you for the game!

Didn't get any decent mages, decided to level Rion. Money-wise it worked out pretty well, broke into the adjacent zone on 112, built 2 Prefectures, took all resource mines and 1 gold mine. Was offered a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, but had nothing to take it with, so I ignored it. On 121 I spotted an enemy near my guard post. Decided it was time to attack (since it was my only decent exit) and on 121 I stationed Rion as a guard. The spells in GM2 were complete garbage, in GM3 only a fireball. Attacked the enemy with an army of 10 Crusaders, 20 Archers, 50+ Pikemen. The enemy had 2 birds and a few wolves and upgraded Goblins. Killed one bird, then they surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

Good draw, I remember I built birds in the Citadel, and quickly killed my computer opponent. Later I discovered an external dwelling of birds, which I picked up on the second week. Then I looked for my opponent, first captured my computer opponent's Castle and rushed to his Castle, transferring the Sloop from the third week. I had 16 birds (2 from the dungeon village), 2 angels, and many fire elementals (since there was an external dwelling from the first week). Along the way I kill his scout hero, and on his turn ГГ arrives.
Thanks for the game!

Beautiful game. I gave up 8K total for the castle and color. After the rests, I was left in a tough situation. First 2 days with 3 heroes, both directions blocked. Got lucky with a nearby hive - 6, took it on 113 and developed through Wyverns. Never managed to get a hammer stack by the end of the week, ГО was very far. On 122, I scouted in the completely opposite direction 2 Griffin Conservatories (later turned out to be 3+3), but before exiting I didn't want to spend a day on them, and that probably decided the game. I exited on 123 with a speed stack: 18 Wyverns, 220 Troglodytes, 17 Evil Eyes, 25 regular Eyes (very timely in the box, right before ГО) through gold. The Eyes from the box were excellent dragon fodder. Right there, a central tavern. Despite only having money for 1 hero, I decided to build the tavern rather than the lookout. And that also decided things. On 124, on the last moves I took КШ and a trash Dragon Utopia with +12 sword +12 shield and another КШ. Andres appeared right away with Sultans and, as it turned out a bit later, an Armorer, so without КШ I had nothing to catch there. I took the central swamp, gathered 50+ Wyverns and upgraded them. I went for the opponent's respawn, took the capital. 3900 MP+КВ vs Andres lacking air control was encouraging, but the long absence of Town Portal was very stressful. There were long and tense wars of weak stacks, which I mostly lost for the obvious reason of lacking TP (Andres had TP). Finally, on 144 I took a Dragon Utopia in the adjacent zone with КЗ, after which the opponent surrendered. The autopsy showed that if not for this КЗ, we could have kept running for a very long time, and in the far late game Andres would have quite likely won, not just played for a draw. Thanks for the interesting game!

[Hota] The opponent outplayed me. Thanks for the game!

They really messed up my game: I started with -7500 gold, with blocks, 1 day, 2 heroes, the second one 3... insane guards on the respawn, 1 dwelling of horses, 1 of pegasi, 1 Hive, and a conservatory. The path to the center goes through the blocks, to the corner of the respawn, and from there... I found a chest with 25,000 gold at the beginning of the second day, and I invested in Earth. I reached level 126 after 3 turns, with 105 Cyclops, 110 Minotaurs, and a Naga!! ))(thankfully, I had gloves, a Log and stables). I noticed that there was nothing near the respawn, and by scouting, I saw that the path to the central castle for me was like the path to the exit to the center. The generator really messed with me: it gave me a concrete and unkillable game ))) I have faint hopes for 90,000 gold (at the beginning of the third day), because there is a tactic of resistance and art on resistance... but that's it, there's not much else, and the stats are half of Tazar's. There was also a bonus: a Castle from the respawn. But with 4 spells and 7 knowledge, it's only useful for teleportation, and I already built the oil and shield.
And then the opponent gives me a chance: Tazar comes out of the center to my respawn with 54 ducks (48 and a level 1) and stands in front of the secondary hero. I do an all-in purchase. Then, along the chain from the center, I pull a sword with 6 attack (there wasn't a sword at all), but there's also a sphere of vulnerability, so 48 Necro-Knights with a Graveyard guard it, and a level 1 Loser attacks. 2 ducks with level 9 and 8 upgraded roots are defeated, so it's still unclear if it's profitable, because the issue of cover is very important.
But at least Ivory's 20-15 defense becomes, which is still funny against Tazar's 48 defense. There's also 18 mana there. In general, I attack with 25 Graveyard Pegasi, 7 ducks, 3 angels, 2 greens, 90,000 gold, 12 upgraded uniques, and a level 1 Pegasus. There are ducks there.
Both in the battle had morale, and I also had luck. There were boots of resistance that blocked the oil 3 times. The opponent was also in shackles. In general, everything was in my favor. But if 1 morale had dropped there, or if the morale with luck on the grand units that dealt something like 120-200 damage hadn't dropped, I wouldn't have won. In any case, it was a great gift.

Thank you for the game!
