It gave a great respawn with an external dwelling of grand elves and unicorns, though the second one was cut off by a block of 35 liches along with a Conflux opponent, on the other side a block of 50 medusa to a Castle opponent, two level 1 Griffin Conservatories saved the situation, I started taking it on day 115, by day 122 I broke through the liches and after taking Conflux went into his treasure zone, which also turned out to be Conflux's with Dragon Fly Hives near the road, a couple of Dragon Utopias and 2 external dwellings of phoenixes, thanks to Kyrre being speedy, I collected the hives, took the Book of Water to the placed water on the main, and took a Dragon Utopia, built the birdies in Conflux and took 2 external dwellings, the Dragon Utopia gave a hat for all level 5, and stats, on day 131 I took the second Dragon Utopia with an orb and a belly +4+4, bought growth and jumped to my opponent, who was heading to the central treasure zone with a speed boost of gargoyles, things weren't going so well for him there, thanks for the game

A heavy, tense game where I had a very good start, but terrible movement speed, average roads + the main Treasure Zone bugged out due to no road, a miner on day 111 takes a Pandora's Box for 5k gold and opens a tomb with +5 attack! Not a bad start, despite revealing an external dwelling of Minotaurs from scout view, I was already quite far with my main hero, so I decided to first take down the computer, where quite luckily there was a Griffin Conservatory #1, the miner took Earth Magic, and from scout view in the snow Treasure Zone I spotted a Portal of Angels behind 20 Wyverns!!! Thoughts about a stack of Minotaurs instantly vanished, the miner Expert Earth Magic and on day 116 took the external dwelling, immediately Town Portal'd, and went further into the Treasure Zone, the whole game was plagued by financial shortage, the computers were very far from each other, from scout view I spotted the edge of a Griffin Conservatory near my Tower computer's base, so while sending the miner to the central Treasure Zone without logistics, stables, or perches or boots, I managed to take at the Tower another Griffin Conservatory 3 and a Hive, I went to the center because I saw from scout view another Portal of Angels and 2 Dragon Utopias, guarded by nasty gold dragons though, got away losing one Angel and 2 ducks with Ogre Magi and ballista, running a bit further before the Dragon Utopia another portal! In total 3 portals by day 127 with a portal at home! Growth of 4 Angels!) I was simultaneously building the Mage Guild in the Tower, got lucky to immediately get Town Portal, otherwise I'd be wandering there another week through the nooks of the Dungeon Treasure Zone, in the end I couldn't take the second Dragon Utopia, and the one I did take gave +6 +2 all stats, and it turned out the Conflux computer connects me with a road to the opponent, with a GO right in the middle into the Dungeon, on day 132 after leveling up the opponent with Dimension Door flies to me, there are 7 Archangels, 44 ducks and some small fry, I have 12 Angels and 17 ducks, no combat magic above regular Lightning Bolt, I Town Portal to eat the Dragon Utopia in the already taken Treasure Zone and sit continuing to reorganize, on the second try I got Dimension Door, though the opponent already went to eat the central Treasure Zone, and I took his main and then my own back, leveled up the Angels and making sorties sat gathering troops, the opponent didn't risk pushing his luck and gave me the growth not knowing how many portals I had available, so on day 141 I met him with Vambraces of Lightning Bolt and Orbs and 20 Archangels, and he didn't even have Offense or Tactics, the Archangels beasts, without much trouble dealt with the opponent's 65 Monks and 7 Archangels, losing 7 or 8, thanks for the game. :smile49:

We agreed to play HotA Diamond, took Jeremy for a reasonable kickback, cleared a couple of rests, and he doesn't reveal too many roads, but instead a Treasure Dungeon with an external dwelling of dragons and a Pandora's box for non-GR Wasps, an easy path to the native town is visible, and gloves are immediately cleared, we play... on the first turn we vacuumed the money, took the town, Jeremy took the Pandora's for 5k exp and right around week 1, day 1, took the red external dwelling with a portal build, also found boots, additionally revealed a Shield of the Dwarven Lords and Speaker's Hat, at the start of the second week Vanya appeared, it all came down to banishing my poor hero with a kill of a small amount of growth, I took 3 Griffin Conservatories (the first one turned out to be max-level, but Jeremy with the Pandora's for 80 Troglodytes and an additional purchase of 30 in the town handled it perfectly) then another 2+2, took the Shield + Hat and was preparing to take 3 Hives in the underground near the main, when the opponent bursts in there and manages to take one, there's a Tavern in the underground, I split my forces there, took the Hives, attacked, my Attack stat was 8 higher, the rest was roughly equal, 8 Angels, 3 Dragons, 24 Gogs vs 9 Efreet Sultans, 27 Gogs and 7 Angels, but I also had Ballista and Oil, and Vanya didn't have maxed Mass Haste and had no money, a concede follows, thanks for the game.
