CTPAHHuK (Nature) def. LordZezuk (Life) - Showdown (Expert, 6 min), 146

The start was good. On the second day, I built a Castle, and by the fifth day, three Oracles had opened. I emerged onto the surface and only then noticed that I had Monks in my level 3 dwelling. That's when I suspected I was in trouble. I took the Monks and, what the heck, decided to attack the Labyrinth, as I really wanted to get Angels out quickly. This was my fatal mistake. Skillfully and reluctantly blocking the attacks of my already crippled army, the Minotaurs left me with two Crusaders, and the Monks were about as useful as a goat's milk. In the end, I was defeated on the fourth Oracle by about fifty Mummies and some other minor units. At that point, I should have surrendered. BUT... I decided to give the Wanderer a chance to defeat me in a fair fight. I built Angels, then ran to the Underground City for healing, and only in the middle of the third week did I finally dig up the Gloves. But by then, it was too late to level up, especially since the runner wasn't even leveled up yet. In the end, a pack of united Barbarians with Druids from Central Northern Europe arrived and beat my Roman citizens senseless. Although I tried to resist, the forces were unequal. Congratulations to the Wanderer on the victory and thank you for the game :)
