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

Lost Paradise (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Blackpoint (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 124 Finally, the map generator provided a good spawn – elf and unicorn lairs, a dwarf mine, a couple of necropolises, lots of money, and resources. I first headed to the dwarf mine – it turned out to be a high-level mine with an upgraded stack, so I didn't bother with it. Nearby, the elf lairs were also well-guarded, so I left them for later. I went to the secondary objective, leveling up and clearing chests along the way. By the end of the first week, I captured the secondary objective, a Conflux, and took a necropolis nearby. At the beginning of the second week, I had 14,000 gold, 6 heroes, and opened a second front with elves and centaurs to defend resources and chests. I rushed Ivor to take the elf lairs and the dwarf mine, but on turn 124, the opponent sacrificed 3 manticores on the archers and surrendered. If he hadn't sacrificed the manticores, the game could have been interesting, but as it is, it was a bit disappointing, I agree. Thank you for the game.
