I'm no good at playing late game, let alone on a blitz timer. A novice is a novice anywhere :D . Stinger deservedly won.
Many thanks for such an instructive game!
It was a funny game. There was 1 restart, but I didn't take it because I found a mini-Griffin Conservatory and a few Capes of Velocity. But on day 112 I discovered that the GO had Titans... On day 115 I got wiped at a max Dragon Fly Hive - left an Angel, all the Capes, and Nagas there. On day 116 I finished it off with a built Giant and learned magic. I started maining Kyrre. Then I gathered everything I could at the respawn and on day 123 I came out with 38 Dwarves, 6 Giants, 2 Angels, 15 Master Genies, 160 Capes. Kyrre has Tactics and Water :) . No Offense, no Armor. Stats 10 11. At the GO I left everything except 30 Dwarves. Then I saw that the opponent had taken the central town and was showing stats of 15. I saw 2 Dragon Utopias in the center and a КЗ, which turned out to be behind Faerie Dragons. I took the second central town for a day, revealed the opponent's army, and decided to try my luck taking Pandora's Boxes. But on 100-249 Dwarves for 2 Pandora's Boxes and 3 All Genies cast Berserk on the Dwarves. I came out with 1 Angel and 5 Beholders. The Pandora's Boxes had 10K experience each. Meanwhile, the opponent took both Dragon Utopias that I saw and showed full control. I ran to Ice Bolt the Pandora's Box guards (20+ Bears and 10+ Bone Dragons). Behind the Bears there were 5 Angels. I collected 2 Dragon Fly Hives and broke into the adjacent zone. The opponent showed Mass Haste and was chasing me through Air Scrying, but Kyrre is not easy to catch even with Flight. I took a Dragon Utopia in the adjacent zone, but didn't get control. I built 5 Mage Guilds, still no control, rebuilding didn't give it either. Grabbing what I could in the adjacent zone, I ran back through the GO across the wasteland to the center while the opponent followed my trail. I managed to collect a few Dragon Fly Hives and Sylphs, as well as recapture Wings and take the КЗ behind the Faerie Dragons. Then, from the last rebuild, I finally got Dimension Door and managed to learn it before Ivor took my main. I killed the opponent's scout hero with +6 All, by stats I was already ahead, took 2 Forges, recaptured my main, and built Titans. I ran around Gremlin caches (7 of them), collected 300 Capes, as well as a Resist set and a Vial of Life.
The blitz was already 6 hours in, so I was bound to fail. First, a scout hero from a prison without a spell book attacked the opponent's 1+1 Archangels; I didn't have time to equip the Resist set and saw he was a good mage. I lost 6 Angels, but the mage was gone because I attacked in Gauntlets. Then, at the end of the turn, I ran Kyrre for the Feathers to assemble the Sniper's Bow, but I mixed up the guard, ending up without Feathers, without the Resist set equipped, without +2 Speed, not even 3 All equipped :eek:
On his turn, Ivor attacked with 9+3 Archangels, stats of 20+, 46 Dwarves and 10 Champions. I had 8 Titans, 2 Angels, 46 Cyclopes, 10 Champions, 300 Capes, 4 Master Genies, 11 Power Liches, and ALL THE WATER! Mass Prayer + Clone left no chance :) Thanks for the game!
