Game from 07/21, trade -1900, somewhere for the color, gave away about 200-300 coins for the hero. Banned Gundula, Gurnisson, and Tyraxor. They suggested not to ban.
Went to 115-6, took two duck nests, losing one duck from the first nest. Then, with the growth, I got a double Azure Dragon, and things started to roll...
In the final, Gurnisson 18 11 10 10, Crag 16 9 6 10, both with about 200 mana.
My army: 23 ducks, 1 angel, 1 phoenix, 16 cyclops, 6 giants (accidentally lost one); his: phoenix, single units of grej, birds, 26 cyclops, 12 ducks.
In the first round, I got a bad luck spell - lost the angel, the phoenix, and -3 ducks (250 damage); and continued to lose about 250 each round until around the 10th round... I cast +50% earth protection, and with an equal army, there were few demoralizations with my -3 morale against his -2, and the bad luck had already subsided by that time. He also cast antimagic at the end, but I managed to finish him off.
Thanks for the game.
