A very interesting game, where we each made one critical mistake, and I was on the verge of defeat, but still managed to win.
The opponent resurrected, I had one left. I have the money for respawn, Gunnar shows up - I play. On the first week, I placed cavalry in the citadel, not a bad start, I manage to take a village by the end of the week. The second and third weeks were quite tough, as there are no objects. No Griffin Conservatory in sight, I take 5 hives (all min!). I take a village in the three-way - I see two Dragon Utopias. On the third week, the army isn't growing, stats are practically the same too. Deeper in, I see another Dragon Utopia - checked it - tier 3, risky to take (19 wyverns, 10 cavalry not upgraded, stats 9-13, expert Earth magic, Offense, but no Armorer). I check the second one - max. I've already built the Mage Guild to level 4. Two days remain until the end of the third week, and I realize I absolutely have to build Angels after the Dragon Utopia. Without checking, I dive into the third one - turns out to be tier one, without a luck boost I lose more than half the cavalry. They give - КВ. I build Angels. I jump into the three-way and find two Griffin Conservatories (4+2). Through chains, I gather all the Angels and dive into the max Dragon Utopia - they give КЗ and some stats. That same day, the little horse jumped into a portal and came out onto the red Conflux (captured from the opponent's computer), luckily for me it was empty. I teleport the papa there via Town Portal and kill about 5 little horses near him (a Cloak of the Undead King flies out of one). Next turn, the tier 3 Dragon Utopia - nothing special, I build Archers after it. The fight for castles begins (several castles within 2 Dimension Doors range). My stats and army are higher. The opponent, taking advantage of my absence in the main area, takes my Castle and builds Archers there (6), I had 11 at that point. Then another Dragon Utopia tier 2 with +6 all, Fire Warlock's Pact with the gloves, and junk. Then we play castle grab. At some point, the opponent remained in a castle within reach (I knew it was intentional) and fortified with 7-8 Archers. But I decided to attack, not wearing the cloak. He has +2 speed and on his first turn, using Explosion with Warlock's Pact and his Archers, he cuts down 7 of my Archers, a Phoenix, and a few cavalry, and buys back. I was stunned and realized I was almost without an army. 3 Archers, 5 Phoenixes, and 11 ducks left. The opponent has 40+ ducks and Archers. I stay holed up in the castle on my turn, because if I give up the castle, it's 100% game over. On his turn, he attacks with 9 Archers, Mages, and a few Pegasi. On his first turn, he casts Anti-Magic on the Archers, I cast Mass Haste on mine (the birds matched the Archers in speed). Next turn, he casts Armageddon, I summon Earth Elementals. The opponent couldn't kill 104 Earth Elementals with Explosion in one turn. He buys back. My hero disappears. But I find him immediately. I'm completely without an army. On my turn, Charna from the prison (was running around with a bear - making skeletons) passes me the Armageddon scroll she found long ago and the Fire Warlock's Pact that was once given to her. I gather the scraps of the unbought army in the form of 49 Gargoyles, the weekly growth army of the Conflux, and 250 skeletons from Charna. I spend the night in the castle. The opponent attacks on his turn with 9 Archers and a few Pegasi. My first turn - Artillery. Explosion on the Archers - the Archers die. The opponent cast Resurrection and cannot retreat in the first round. My second turn - Armageddon with Warlock's Pact and Kyrre dies.
Thanks for the interesting game!

Thank you for the games.

Thank you for the game!

Is anyone actually doing anything here? I submitted a request over a month ago, maybe even two, and it still hasn't been reviewed. They tell me it's being processed. Is it necessary to start complaining?

Thank you for the game.

For the first two weeks, I'll take 4 Hives and a Conservatory. And all 5 objects will be at their minimum level. A 30% chance 5 times in a row. That's a 0.243% probability. I find a Utopia, and it's at its maximum. The game is trolling me. I skip the Utopia and find another Utopia – a minimum level one. There's a Water book there... but I find the last artifact for AOTD (4.34% chance). And then the game continued.

Thanks for the game!

A bunch of crystals won the match :D Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game.

We decided to bargain, ended up with Necropolis and Citadel randomly. In short, I negotiated down to +7500. We each spent one rest. On the first day, I saw a sword with +5 attack, a КЗ, and 3 Pandora's Boxes... tempting) Later I ran around looking for external dwellings, but there were none, only on 116 I found a Behemoth external dwelling, which made me happy. There were also three Dragon Fly Hives, but one was very far away, and there were no cons at all). I placed Behemoths on 115 and a Castle on 117. Leveled up Crag Hack to 121 stats 18-7-3-10 (why such knowledge — I saw a КЗ and decided I would use implosion on skeletons if needed))... so I didn't skip stat boosters). On ГО, there were nearly 100 Greater Wyverns; I decided not to rush, but to upgrade the Behemoths, take all Pandora's Boxes, a couple of artifacts (Necklace for luck and morale). In the end, on 125 stats 24 11 7 11 (Offense, Armorer, Earth, Air, Pathfinding Expert) — army: 6 Behemoths, 9 Wyverns, 40 Orcs, 18 Harpies, and 50 Wolf Riders. I skip my turn, and it turns out the opponent enters the treasure zone on the same day and sees me... he surrenders! Thanks for the game! A rematch is on me, worthy opponent!
