even so... unexpected..... I saw your stats and went to level up..... but the hydras were given a lot of morale

Alex (15:49:13 27/07/2008)
and I broke through to the respawn - to launch the suckers and wanted to take nagobank - but you surrendered ... and it seems your cool unit was right on this respawn - if you had run sideways to the right - then you would have seen me

Alex (15:50:43 27/07/2008)
but I intended to take nagobank and run to the external dwelling - there's a Dragon Utopia nearby - and my army already allowed taking the Dragon Utopia - expert armor, logistics, earth, wisdom, and advanced attack, and 15 ducks in the army and 27 basilisks + meat, and another 8 ducks in the Castle and 9 basilisks + a bunch of meat

FAVorite (15:51:42 27/07/2008)
you have a native external dwelling... cool, I didn't even have one external dwelling...... anyway, on this map it's your victory

Alex (15:52:03 27/07/2008)
yes - I took external dwellings of ranks 1-4 one by one
and couldn't take two cow external dwellings at all

Alex (15:54:30 27/07/2008)
well yes - and in general, we went hand in hand regarding army and economy - just towards the end I developed Tazarik better, and because of the external dwelling and Hive, it turns out there are more armies for 8 wyverns ...

Alex (15:55:14 27/07/2008)
you had a chance - to run around me or take Dragon Utopia earlier - but this week you'd hardly have taken Dragon Utopia - only on 1-4-1

FAVorite (15:56:22 27/07/2008)
yes, I even found it, just things went stupidly with the hydras, there were only 10 of them, but they got a morale boost and blocked the cyclops, and hit two at once
and there was no mana

Alex (15:57:09 27/07/2008)
economy was tough at first - only took 1 crypt on the 1st
and I still didn't break through my native stone mine

Alex (15:58:11 27/07/2008)
but I got lucky in the tavern - they gave me a tank-saur for the first time across all restarts

FAVorite (15:58:30 27/07/2008)
I didn't even have a crypt.. just piles lying there... didn't set up bears on the first, that's why...... set up cyclops

Thanks for the game - interesting development on a non-super respawn - pity we didn't fight ...
P.S. You already have 4 points :smile30: Congratulations to the HeroesPortal team on winning the tournament. :smile43:
