A very beautiful game; even though I lost, I got a lot of positive vibes. Unfortunately, KS + AoTD cannot be countered. The key mistake was giving up the scroll in the treasure zone to make it to the utopia in time, but ironically, there was a Dimension Door lying there. 100 mp decided the game as always.
Thanks for your time!

A good fork in the crossroads—leading to a corner treasure zone and a second crossroads with three more roads. Also found a path to a computer's 6k dungeon. Captured boots in the corner treasure zone. Took the computer's area with losses: broke through 80 archers and 50 Greater Lizards, ultimately losing almost all Troglodytes, but really wanted to Town Portal the Beholders. On the first, painted an external Beholder dwelling, Town Portaled in two dungeons, got around 65 Beholders on day 121, switching almost to zero. Scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories, 2 Dragon Fly Hives in the corner treasure zone, and 1 Dragon Fly Hive, 1 Griffin Conservatory at home, plus 2 Griffin Conservatories in the second crossroads.
On the second week, started carefully taking everything; the Griffin Conservatories turned out to be 1+1+3+2+1, and 22 Wyverns. Simultaneously leveled Nela, who picked up Logistics, and at the end of the week recruited Kyrre, who immediately picked up Earth Magic. Didn't have resources to build a General's building; the crossroads was on snow, couldn't really capture mines.
On the third week, contact occurred in the second crossroads, resulting in cutting down ~130 Skeleton Warriors and ~15 Archers from the opponent. Scouted a Dragon Utopia—took it with losses on the double, got Hat +10 and Shackles of War, next to it took a box—all Earth Magic for the Miner. Simultaneously, Kyrre gifted 2 Angels to the computer (couldn't handle the Stronghold). Then went to a super treasure zone and just as the opponent arrived with a larger army and approximately +12 combat stats. Considered attacking to fight back using Implosion and Resurrection, but reconnaissance by fire revealed Re cannibals there. In the end, we parted ways; found nothing worthwhile in the super treasure zone. At the end of the week, cast Town Portal from the super treasure zone, took another scouted Dragon Utopia triple—gave K.O., Water Walk, 4 All, and went to the next super treasure zone, where I got notably lucky—mass hives, 2 Dragon Utopias, one of which had the so-needed Cap.
Afterwards, ate up the map with full control (another 2 super treasure zones), the opponent and I traded villages, and I covered the opponent in his main castle with a leveled Nela with Angel Wings. Combat stats were equal, slightly fewer Archers, but +80 Wyverns decided it.
Thanks for the game!

red Inferno for +2500. It spawned pretty well, there were early 2 sulfur mines and a mercury mine. My native town is also Inferno, but blocked by 10-19 cavalry from Pandora's Box. On 116 I almost lost at a Dwarf Cottage with 20 without GS (1 Efreet and 13 Gogs remained). I lost Octavia while capturing a Dungeon village, attacking with 1 Hell Hound and miscalculating the mana to kill 8 Harpies.
I can see 4 Dragon Fly Hives and 2 Griffin Conservatories, I only started collecting them and demoning from week 3. Judging by the saves, my opponent's spawn was not very good (long roads, no money objects and shooter blocks).

I got lucky to catch the opp as soon as he came out of the portal into the lands I had scouted, plus all my heroes happened to be nearby.

Thanks for the game!

The opp re-rolled Kyrre in the tavern for me twice. Then Ufretin shows up three times in a row. Things got really sad. I sat on respawn for the first week. I gathered on 1-6 at the Citadel. 121 I start at the stables. I take a single Conservatory. By 123 I took two Dragon Fly Hives for 16 Wyverns. There were two directions. I chose the one where I wasted four days and hit 50+ gr. Monks(68). I retreat home. 131 I start at the same stables. I run in the second direction. I first sent two scouts with a small army there. I found a green computer. Luna on Fire Birds from week two. I decide it will take too long to kill her. I run to the teleport, where I get killed immediately.
Thanks for the game!

Everything went well, and there was also a buggy multi-unit creature that guarded the opponent's respawn point, along with a horde of grey lizardmen. On turn 121, the opponent sends Charon to attack them with a partial army, and on turn 122, I arrive to finish them off with 5 birds, 5 psykers, pixies, and air elementals, with a bolt on turn 135. I'm one move short of reaching the castle. But still, GG.

Thank you for the game!

Everything collapsed nearby, and there was also a buggy multi-attacker that controlled the respawn point of the opponent and was guarded on that side by a horde of grey lizards. On turn 121, the opponent sends Charon to attack them with not the entire army, and on turn 122, I come to finish them off with 5 birds, 5 psychs, pixies, and air elementals with a bolt, reaching 135. I don't have enough movement to reach the castle in 1 move. But still, gg.

Thank you for the game!

Due to the blitz timer, I made a lot of mistakes, but I managed to take down my opponent in time. Thanks for the game!
