Classic bait - two Griffin Conservatories and an external dwelling of horses at the respawn. But as it turned out, the generation was such that the road to the one-way exit was blocked, and the road to the enemy was blocked too.
No money. In the first week, I caught two morale events and crashed to zero. The game only got going around day ten. The treasure zone was empty with mountains in such rows that even with expert scouting and two telescopes, you couldn't cover it :-). I built Dimension Door and the game started.
I bounced back.

Thanks for the game.

I gave up for 4200 red. No restarts were taken. On the first day, I found a stash of fire and earth dwellings on the respawn point. The income was average, but there was only one road, leading to an unknown destination. There were stables, Grinya, and Brissa, and air creatures were built. I thought that if needed, I would take a restart on 112 if there were no roads. But on 112, Grinya gains expertise in earth, opening a very cool road junction in 4 directions. I decided not to restart. On 116, I received a message about the surrender. Thank you for the game!

Didn't take restarts, opponent took one.
Mephala came, there were two external dwellings of poops and one of air elementals.
Thought for a long time whether to restart or not, but decided not to waste time. Reached 6k, but at least there were roads, so it didn't all stop at a one-way junction, and thank you for that.
Had no birds on the first map, played with 4-5 heroes, tight on gold despite max crypts and a minimal Dwarf Cottage. On the second map, Mephala got Earth Magic and wrecked a hundred upgraded Gargoyles with a +6 Shield. Started to pick up steam, the week ended with birds already.
On the third week, contact was made, but I didn't push the opponent, decided to take my two scouted Dragon Utopias, 2 black ones and 2, from the useful stuff - a Chalice and a Book of Water, the rest were bags of gold and a Captain's Hat. Couldn't level Wisdom enough to learn the Dimension Door I had built; there was an implosion scroll. I felt very comfortable on Mephala. Collected a scouted elixir, but since there were only 2 Dragon Fly Hives on the map for 10 Wyverns and not a single Griffin Conservatory, the elixir bonus only went to the birds.
Learned Wisdom, rebuilt Town Portal and Resurrection, went to finish the match at the opponent's. Final battle in Castle, before which a well-leveled Solmir wipes out 50 air elementals, but the finale is still for blue.
Thanks for the game!
Good luck in the future :)

We played the second game, I took 111, my opponent had 3 restarts left. It was my first time playing this template, so it was hard to judge whether it was a good start. I expanded to 4 heroes, saw a stable, a +6 sword, and the presence of external dwellings. What bothered me was that my opponent, having all restarts and seeing that I wasn't taking a restart, continued the game. Still, Gunnar's acceleration to 3k movement points on the second day made me continue.
In the first week, I collected external dwellings, which turned out to be surprisingly plentiful, pushed forward with Gunnar, hit a treasure zone village, turned back home, took the sword and an external dwelling of Eyes, since I found no other ones. I also grabbed a scroll of Imp. Gunnar leveled up great, took Earth Magic right away, but I rushed and didn't take Wisdom at level 6, ending up with First Aid.
In the second week, with 50 Eyes, I ran Gunnar in the only direction, took a max Griffin Conservatory, picked up a scroll of Town Portal! And on the same day, I encountered my opponent. The opponent didn't attack, realizing the power advantage, so I pushed castles and tried to catch the main force while building the Mage Guild. I took his main town. The opponent fled to a corner treasure zone. I took Shackles of War and a Tunic of the Cyclops King, gathered an army, and attacked the opponent. Having Armageddon, army superiority, and stat advantage left no chance. Thanks for the game.

After a fight between our main heroes on day 221, I managed to defeat my opponent's hero through mass berserk.
After looking through his situation for a couple of days, my opponent, who still had full control and most of the areas under his control, decided he couldn't fight against my army and surrendered.

Thanks for the great game.

I used Krellion as my main. Thanks for the game.

Strange generation; on day 113, everyone killed their opponent's native creatures. I was waiting for a meeting after the restart, but we weren't close enough. But still, on day 124, I was already taking both of my opponent's castles, as he only started expanding on the second week and didn't have enough time to reach the conflux.
Thanks for the game!
