Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def numOne (Blue, Castle, Turis, Turis), 2sm4d(3), 2.1.5.

The respawn was decent, 2 roads, one almost near the castle was blocked until week 9 by greized wyverns guarding a hive, the second led to a Rampart secondary town, which I successfully took. It so happened that the wood mine was generated 3 days' travel from the castle + with decent guard, and there was little wood lying around the map. End result of week 1: monks in the citadel, but prospects were looking decent, so I'm not rushing to get upset, and I'm doing the right thing!
On the 2nd conserve, minimum. Angels spawned in the castle (again without horses!). Clearing the respawn, luckily there was plenty to clear (about 4 gnome huts, a couple imp huts, nagabanks, and 4 hives).
On 132 I break through the wyvern monarch block, the road, as it turned out, led to a swamp secondary town and a tiny nook with 1 utopia (like a balm on the soul), gave Sword 6 th o l, Shield +4, Hat -2 + 10, Shackles. Then I see Papa Shakti breaking through from the other side. Well, I think, now you're going to dance for me! But after much deliberation, I still didn't put on the Shackles.
I restored mana from the hat, attack:
Turis 16 17 10 10 (6 Archangels, 40 Crusaders, 6 Horses, 30 Monks, 50 Marksmen, 26 Wyverns, pokemons) Expert tactics, leadership, air, resist. advanced logistics, ballistics, basic wisdom.
Shakti 8 10 7 4 (6 Black Dragons, 60 Evil Eyes, 30 Medusas, 15 Minotaurs, 17 Scorpicores, 20 Wyverns, 301 Troglodytes).

I cast mass haste, start wailing on him (bad thing is that my troops only maraled twice the entire fight), Archangels resist some spell (immediately sensed something was off). I deploy his dragons, then an explosion hits for about 1300, minus 5 Archangels, my jaw just dropped (and this with Shakti at 7 4). I expected him to be low on mana from the fountain, and that he'd cast at least 1 more explosion, I decide to retreat (though I now see that was the wrong move). Ultimately, he replenishes mana, returns, and finishes me off.
Well, it was a fun game. Although I must admit the explosion upset me a bit. :)
Thanks for the game!
Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
