Got lucky with the respawn - two elf nests and a unicorn nest. The elves decided the game.
Thanks for the game!

14.03.2017 DreamsEvil (Blue, Rampart: Kyrr-Kyrr) win Eztujke (Red, Dungeon: Shakti-Shakti) JC, 135

The start was quite decent. I found 2 Griffin Conservatories, several crypts, and 2 Pandora's Boxes. There was almost no army; the starting stack was 55 upgraded Centaurs and 10 Dwarves. I thought I'd only be able to exit on week 3, but as it turned out, the second town was a Dungeon and next to it was an external dwelling of Elves. Result: week 2 - 38 Grand Elves. I start looting Pandora's Boxes, Dragon Fly Hives, and Griffin Conservatories. In the Pandora's Boxes I find about 100 Dwarves. Entry into the center (weak GO - Titans without a Guardian Angel) on 126. I capture the center town, bring in the growth on 131, loot the center. The opponent exits into the center on 135, I meet him almost without losses. Thanks for the game.

14.03.2017 Mont (Red, Necropolis, Tant, Tant) lose botorezka (Blue, Castle, Beatrice, Beatrice), JC, 131

Relatively normal respawn, on the first day I saw two external dwellings of Necro horses and two Dragon Fly Hives (though minimal ones, as it turned out later). Then I took two tier-3 Griffin Conservatories and Expert Oil. But I rushed too much and left with mana only for one cast, plus I didn't split the Scorpicores properly and lost half my army. In the center there was a block on the road; I managed to take КЗ and tried to recover at the respawn. But on day 127 I saw the opponent with 50 Wyverns, who also took the hat, and already had stats and said gg.

ThinkeRr (Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Gerald (Stronghold, Dessa, Gundula), JC, 1-3-2
2 Gorgon huts, 2 Lizard huts, one Gnoll hut. Three small hives, two cans (1+2). Went to 1-2-4, without mana and without slow, through the green dragons. In the center, there is a very long, winding road; I took 5 hives, revealed the Earth book, the Air book, a red ball, and a +5 all-stats sword. The Wyvern count became around 45. I was looking for a town to replenish mana and gather resources. While searching, I found a town on 1-3-2, and the opponent surrendered.

Thank you for the game!

Prince (random Tower, Riza, Galtran) def Barracuda (Castle, Sylvia, Orion), skirmish 200%, 1-3-5
We play skirmish 200, after 4 restarts I got Tower and he got Castle, first day scouting and Galtran walks into the tavern. I decide to make him my main, on 112 I take the wood and ore mines, clear a crypt with Galtran and move towards the GO between zones. On 113 no major actions taken. On 116 I take the town. On 117 two gold mines three tiles apart from each other — perfect. On 121 scouting of this zone. On 122 clearing the inter-zone GO and taking Pandora's Box with 90 skeletons. On 124 I take Dragon Fly Hive #1. On 132 I take the Stronghold as a 4th town. I see three external dwellings of monsters — I will drag the game out; with this growth the opponent should have no chance with his Behemoths. I check the Utopia — a deuce, I'll take it. On 135 I go to take the Utopia. The opponent still has two castles; I think he went into a defensive play. On 135 the opponent attacked me, but due to a too weak army — 5 horses and 15 Crusaders against my 500 skeletons, 100 gremlins, and 14 dragon flies — he runs away and writes GG... I never got to take the Utopia — the saddest part of the game((((

ThinkeRr (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def GeraldFromRivia (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) JC, 1-3-5

Three external dwellings of Manticores, two of Troglodytes, three Griffin Conservatories 2+4+1, breakthrough on 124 through Efreeti without Slow. Spent a week roaming the center, entered the opponent's territory on 134. There, Kyrre with a weak army.

03/22/2017 Surreal (Red, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Mephala) lose Eztujke (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) JC 132
At the beginning, I focused on getting the Consulate and the Labyrinth, along with some artifacts for stats and movement. I decided to play aggressively. Unfortunately, the other objectives were too far from the roads, so I only managed to reach 126, losing an angel and a monster against 30 bone dragons without mass slow. The opponent came out a day later, ate my weak units, headed towards my main base, but then turned back. I captured the castle in the center (while heading there, I lost half my army to dragon stacks) and started replenishing mana. The army on the hero from the dungeon, who was heading to get the Hive, somehow thought that the opponent wouldn't reach him in one turn, but he was wrong and lost his army. Thanks for the game!
