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

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Torosar) def. gamer-kirill (Blue, Fortress, Bron, Edrick), 2sm4d(3), 1.4.1. I confirm Pavel's victory. He didn't develop very quickly. On the first day, he only had 1-6 in the Citadel. In principle, it's okay, but he had few heroes, little money, didn't buy Wyverns or Bulls, but instead built a Prefecture and found a stash of Dragonflies. Then he took the Spell of Despair, bought several heroes, upgraded the Lizards, and started sweeping away hordes of Ogres, leveling up his heroes and exploring new lands. On the first day of the third week, he took the secondary Dungeon, bought Tazik, gave him an army, but soon saw his opponent, who was standing nearby but didn't dare to attack. I also didn't want to fight him, so I passed the troops along to Bron, who went to clear the trees in the swamp and destroy the Medusa Lair. Tazik tried to fly across the entire map on a Dragonfly in the hope of getting out of the Underground and scouting his opponent's territory, but he didn't make it and was defeated by Ivor. Okay... let's continue playing... the supply chains are working in full force, boosting the kingdom's prosperity, and everyone is leveling up steadily. Pasha, meanwhile, is standing in front of the enemy's Underground stronghold (for 3-4 days) and waiting for reinforcements. I see that my stronghold also has 3-4 Angels, and I decide to take it on day 141, but Torosar, cunningly, breaks his Consulate, runs towards me... experience and logistics still matter... and positions himself in front of the Castle. My hero can't reach him, so I destroy the maximum number of Tombs and the Medusa Lair and pass the troops along to Edrick, who doesn't make it to the Castle and accepts the battle without a book. He loses... and pays a ransom. And then Pasha attacks the Castle. There's a Nagash in the Castle, but at least there's an Archer Tower... but no... in the end, he's defeated. A disappointing defeat, I would say. Well, and respect to Pavel for a beautiful victory and bold decisions
