Yesterday, 08/18/07, a game was started on the map "Quiet World" between:
LeSHiJ-MaX, blue color - Chaos and
Starhan, red color - Life
The map turned out to be complex and difficult to navigate (but interesting for me).
The map has 3 Castles, one of which is random. Starhan got an Order Castle. I was lucky, all my Castles turned out to be Chaos)).
Thanks to the Thieves, I was able to explore the territories faster and more thoroughly, and I already had "stolen" artifacts and resources at the beginning of the game, although not very powerful, which allowed me to build up faster and get my first Creature dwellings. After that, it was just a matter of technique. Many bottles of speed potions, with one Creature dwelling in the army for speed (+9 steps each turn), allowed me to quickly clear my territory and move to neutral territory. We finished the game around 2:00 AM and decided to continue it the next day. After looking at the situation and each other's progress in the morning, we decided to end this game in favor of LeSHiJ-MaX.
Thank you, Starhan, for the game. :smile20:
Sincerely, LeSHiJ-MaX.

No, why not? Buddha didn't confirm his participation, so he didn't technically lose. It just turns out that shadowmen is just as free a radical as Machete.

I was hoping that one of them would show up. Sometimes there are just valid reasons, and the confirmation period was short. Now we'll adjust the table, and the players without a pair will have a battle among themselves. It's a pity for the time spent waiting for the players.

P.S. The week is ending, please let me know by Tuesday, and if you have any suggestions, please share them.
