Reports on online games and their confirmations (Winter 2008 season).

Dreamcatcher (Red, Castle, Valeska) def. Decontaminator (Blue, Tower, Nella) 1-4-6, 2sm4d(3) The opponent kindly provided the newbie with their first town and allowed them to choose a Castle. The beginning was impressive: three stacks of archers, and they had also built houses. Right under the gate, there was a Gnollish Kist, guarded by a group of Nomads. But by the third day, things started to get worrying: there was no wood, no mines were visible, and it seemed like she was hiding behind a crowd of Archmages guarding the black market. But after finding 4 (!) cans of food on the map, the thought of restarting became terrifying. It's better to endure the initial poverty and hardship, but then...! I managed to gather some wood and money, and on the seventh day, I built a Stronghold and painted the archers. It was already looking good. Valeska gets logistics and captures boots. On the second day, I buy archers and gather money. I capture a secondary town - Barbarians. At the end of the week, I take the third town in the Dungeon - Inferno. I break through the guard into the treasure zone, and the scout runs there to scout. Valeska returns to take those cans of food. At home, I have everything except Angels and the Capitol. The third week - buying troops and collecting Angels. The first two cans have only one each, and the other two have two each, for a total of 6 Angels. Meanwhile, the scout has found several good artifacts in the underground treasure, including the Sword of Justice, guarded by a pack of Bone Dragons! At home, on 1-3-6, the Portal of Glory appears. On the fourth day, I buy everything - and rush down, while the artifacts are still there. I collect a breastplate +1 to all, a cloak +2 to magic and knowledge, gloves of speed (I'm already an expert in logistics), a shield +4, and a sword +5 to all. In one Pandora's Box, I got all the earth magic, but unfortunately, Valeska only had basic wisdom. After the expedition, Valeska, level 16, with stats 17-19-11-11, is preparing to attack the main guard - a crowd of Chaos Hydras. On 1-4-4, the Hydras are killed, followed by Cyclops, and Valeska captures the opponent's town, defeating an incomplete army. Then - searching for Nella, and after a little more running around, that's it. Thank you for the game!
