scorp (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Tazar) def Decontaminator (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 211

On 112 I scouted and revealed the area: secondary towns — one Inferno, another human (with a Dragon Utopia), on my side an external dwelling of unicorns and, so far, that's it. In a couple of turns I earned enough money, built up to unicorns, and bought them all. On 115 I go to clear the external dwelling of horses, and to my surprise, there's another external dwelling of theirs just three hexes away — but not everything is so sweet; I hit the second external dwelling with a scout hero (and got unlucky in the battle) and fed unicorns left and right, so instead of 6 I only had 3 left. 117 1-6 without dwarves in the castle with 2 external dwellings of horses. On 122, I lose another unicorn from Tazar to 8 medusas each — no big deal, I'll feed them more later. 124 is a human secondary town. I leave Tazar at this secondary with 3 horses to level up, while the rest clear the dwarf dwelling on my home turf — a fight for crystals. On 127 I fought 39 Archmagi — the only battle (up to week 3) where I was careful for the boots. 127 built dragons. On 134 I take a Dragon Utopia for 2 Chaos Dragons (Sword +5 to all stats, Titan's cuirass, Shield +3/+3 att/def and gauntlets). There was a Pandora's box on week 3 with 25 demons, and I captured the Inferno secondary on 137; next to the castle there's a Dragon Utopia, next turn it's mine for 2 Chaos Dragons (Wings, Sandals +2 to all stats, Ring of Speed and Dragon Cloak +2/+2 spell/knowledge), and I immediately scout a Treasury with a Dragon Utopia — heading there. Along the way I take beehives (nasty little things — wasn't counting on them much), I take a conservatory for 2 angels and +2 angels from 2 external dwellings (and on 147 a human secondary with a spawn of 4 angels). On 144 I gave away my empty capital, took everything I liked from the Treasury (2 Dragon Utopias, Necklace +3/+3 morale/luck, and some small stuff). On 147 I stand one hex away from my recaptured capital; Shakti didn't have time to pass the army and stood before my castle without an army; in short, I flew past him and bought units. Shakti attacked — that's already a formality:

Tazar 19 28 27 (200 mana) 7 gold, 9 angels, 47 Grands (Golden Bow), 24 War Unicorns, 33 Wyverns, 25 Pegasi (had only the chain for 1357 due to magic)

Shakti 9 11 5 9 (160 mana) 49 Minotaur Kings, 59 Evil Eyes, 18 Wyverns, 22 Medusas and 28 Harpies

Tazar won.

Thanks for the game!
