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

Decontaminator (red, Necro, Izra, Izya) def invisible (blue, Necro, Vidomina, Vida) XL no underground 2sm4d(3) 213

And so the necro vs necro showdown ended with a score of 3-1 not in my favor :(. Sanal clearly knows better how to mass skeletons :D . We played with no restrictions for necromancers. In the first week, liches in the castle, a minimal Griffin Conservatory was revealed, secondary Inferno taken with 2 devil nooks. Vidomina was running Expert Air magic, but without Haste (it wasn't available in two castles). In the second week, I ran back and forth uselessly looking for money to upgrade and buy vampires, so I could take the Griffin Conservatory with a scout hero, because Vidomina had a long way to go. I never managed to gather enough money for them. But I managed to break through to a secondary Dungeon, there was a Dragon Utopia there, I took the maximum Gnoll Hut, a Conservatory for 3 angels (Marius earned another one with vampires – 4 total), a secondary (still no Haste in the guild :mad: ). I planned to take the Dragon Utopia on day 136, but I checked – maximum :smile07: , and my stats were 4-2 atk/def :( So I cooled my heels for a couple of days, on day 137 I built skeletons. On day 141, Izya breaks through the GO and comes to me. I buy upgraded vampires, knights, meat and attack the Dragon Utopia. I don't know how many rounds I fought it, but I preserved my main stacks, losing only 2 horsemen out of 10, all the vampires (took them as meat because I didn't want to lose skeletons). I emerged with 4 angels, 8 horsemen and 700 skeletons (lost about 50 total). I got complete junk – not a single boost to stats – a red orb, a black orb, a book of Air, Wings and some other useless crap. Izya takes my main castle, which I had previously emptied of troops. My stats are still something like 5-2-7-7 :). I break through a passage to a teleporter – there I reveal another Dragon Utopia. I take it – a two-stack. I got another orb of some kind and various junk. At this point I thought, this is clearly not my day. I recovered a +5 attack mace, teleported to the swamp, took a couple of Pandora's Boxes, a +6 attack shield. I have no castles left and I'm hoping for a miracle. Expert View Air shows an opponent's castle not far from me, so I can catch my breath and replenish mana. On the way to it, I stumble upon a Dragon Utopia. I take it. Because I had no one to give the liches to, they acted as meat in the Utopia. It turned out to be maximum again :eek: . I lost almost all horsemen, all liches, one angel and about 80 skeletons (about 800 remain). In this Utopia, something happened that surprised me a bit. Green dragons got anti-morale (i.e., they lost their turn :eek: ) – I had 3 bone dragons. But I remember getting rotten tomatoes thrown at me when in one game I said the dragons lost morale, and that it was supposedly impossible. So now I was of sound memory and clear mind, so I can now state this 100% for certain. After that I was just playing it out, waiting for the end, because Izya had Expert Town Portal, and I needed a castle to survive. In this maximum Dragon Utopia, I again got nothing for stats: they gave a whole library of various books, a +4/4 atk/def breastplate, and orbs of all colors and shades. In short, I ended up on the path near the enemy's town, and he attacked me the next day. In the final battle, I had no chance.
Thanks for the game! I concluded that I don't know how to play necromancers.
