Very stressful game, especially since I was behind in the first 2 weeks. With split armies, I managed to scout most of the treasures (Pyre with 2 angels and Illor with the rest). I failed to scout the only top-tier item in the last remaining treasure, which was thankfully bad. I spent my resources to upgrade behemoths, so I could start the guild only late in week 2. After picking up an empty box with advanced wisdom and seeing my opponent mostly elsewhere, I decided to go for this box on his side and succeeded. Meanwhile, ramping the guild on the 3rd build gave me Teleportation. Level 5 gave me Dragon Destiny, so I could clear the map more efficiently with Pyre and Sephinroth as side heroes. Slowly but surely, I became stronger, and my opponent didn't see any chances, so he gave up.
Thanks for playing!
Question to the organizers:
How does this rule make any sense? "...in the 3rd game (if required), the template and color are chosen by the player who placed higher in the Swiss rounds."
Why not just play out the 3rd game like normal? Dawidu and I had the same amount of points in qualifying, and because his Buchholz was 0.5 points higher than mine, I automatically lose the red color for no gold bonus at all. It is a huge disadvantage.
