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

Would you say the respawn was lacking? Well, there seemed to be a native secondary. Not enough money? Far from it. Didn't find a Dragon Utopia? I actually took two. Apparently, the opponent played brilliantly and planned ahead for the finale, simply leaving me no chance. Well done. Game time ended around 213. On the first turn, horses in the Stronghold, native secondary taken, where I also put griffins and took their external dwelling. The layout was just sweet. From the overview, I saw half of Tazar's respawn. On the 3rd or 4th week, I took the second native secondary, but it was near Tazik, and he immediately took it back. Near this secondary was an external dwelling of horses and swordsmen, which I didn't have time to clear, but I managed to get the archers out. Found 2 Dragon Utopias in a row, but they didn't give anything useful. Took one on 145, the second the next day, and put horses in the secondary. I'm standing before ГО, but I messed up the troop transfer chains and in the end time ran out, and out of desperation, I went into the medusa nest so as not to waste a turn. I had only half my troops with me; Tazar breaks through a crowd of gr. liches and attacks, after which I surrender. We replayed the finale for fun, although I forgot to put on the +4 atk/def artifact, but it wouldn't have solved anything. Val's parameters are 1.5-2 times higher than Tazar's, but there is neither attack nor defense. There was expert tactics and 150 shooters, but Tazar also had tactics + first strike + expert haste. Therefore, when 60 dragonflies and 44 wyverns hit the shooters and killed half, and basilisks petrified my 21 horses, it became clear that Tazar had won.
Thanks for the game! Nothing to say, you played very well.

If we believe fizmig, then forgetfulness without water and with initial causes "forgetting" half of the shooters in a stack, meaning this stack will deal half as much damage. If advanced water, then this stack cannot shoot at all. With expert water, all shooters in the enemy army cannot shoot. That's how it seems, but I'm not sure.
