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

Mizrael (red, Stronghold, Bron, Gurnisson) def. Vigo (Rampart, Kyrre) 133 Used both restarts, the opponent didn't take any restarts. A decent spawn was generated: on the very first day, I set up an ambush with basilisks, built flies – scouts spread out at an accelerated pace. Gurnisson arrives, and I immediately identified him as a potential hero. End of the week: a secondary Tower is built, with 1000 resources (I didn't bother with anything else); a gorgon's house with a Stronghold + a building that increases gnoll growth, a basilisk ambush, and 2 gnolls. Gurnisson is level 6. On day 124, Gurnisson breaks open a tier 2 dwelling and flies off on angels to gain experience. The chain is passed from the treasury to Bron, who breaks open another tier 2 dwelling. On day 125, a secondary Inferno is built, and a chain is built from Bron to Gurnisson. On day 127, Gurnisson, level 11, takes an alternative route to the elf spawn through a lizard horde, with a house and a castle. He takes a hive with 8 wyverns and builds a chain from the house. On day 132, Gurnisson stands one day's march from the blue player's capital. The next day, he will receive reinforcements from the castle, but Vigo decided not to wait for that and attacked himself. Gurnisson 14-3-1-2, attack, artillery, wisdom, armorer, earth and air. Army: 4 angels, 14 lizards, 20 gr. basilisks, 8 wyverns, 3 bulls, and 25 gnolls. Kyrre 3-9-2-2, logistics, shooting, earth and air. Army: 10 unicorns, 44 grand elves, 50 centaurs, 3 dwarves, 10 thunderbirds, and a dozen dendroids. My first turn, I rush the angels (they were positioned poorly) and attack the elves. Thanks to the armorer expert and the enchanted shield, the angels held out for a long time; mass slow delayed the basilisks and wyverns, but after the angels died, Kyrre had no more units left to break through the wyverns. On day 133, the capital was taken, and Vigo reported his surrender.
