Reports on online games and their confirmations (Winter 2009 season).

Pit - For the sake of LM (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def. Gynnar (blue, Necropolis, random Septienna, Vokial), 2sm4d(3), 131. Yes, Necropolis in skilled hands poses a real threat; in a rather weak Dungeon, by day 127, 330 skeletons have been gathered... In the first generation, I saw Necropolis units on the surface, but instead of restarting, I decided to rush. Unfortunately, I came too early - on day 113, I take a level 1 Conservatory near the enemy's capital, and the opponent takes a restart on day 113... Then, we took a couple more restarts and started. On day 112, I take the maximum Crypt, losing two pikemen, and see a GO in the Dungeon; I decide to play. The Castle has a stash of pikemen, a level 2-4 Conservatory, and a Hive. On day 114, a Barbarian town is captured, and beneath it is a Dungeon with Vistan, who has 18 lizards. I break through to the opponent's secondary Barbarian town and send Moner there. Another hero is released from the Dungeon - Arlak; by the end of the week, I take the stash of swordsmen. I built cavalry in the Castle and birds in the secondary town, but I didn't use them. On day 121, I completely buy out everyone and take a Hive with 8 wyverns and a gnome warehouse with 20. I check the Conservatory - it's a level 3. Valeska gets Earth magic, but there's no slow spell anywhere. Oh well - I split up, where I learn Shield and Stone Skin (the capital gave me some rubbish), and head towards the griffins. I pass the +4 crown from the cart to Valeska, visit the Well, and with an advanced Shield, I take the Conservatory, leaving all the pikemen (70) and 1 wyvern there. Moner finds a Conservatory and a portal to the Treasury in the opponent's secondary town, and I send Valeska there. The army gathers another 4 wyverns in the meantime. On day 125, I reach the Conservatory, but it's only a level 1... But nearby, I doubled my mana to 100. The Treasury, where I sent Pairu, turned out to be completely empty. So, I run quickly to the opponent. On day 127, I take 4 wyverns from the Hive and stand at the entrance to the Dungeon. On day 131, the growth is not being replenished; it's very far away in terms of resources, with the stables finished, and we don't need a red rush. The Earth view shows the presence of a Necropolis capital halfway there - I run into it, breaking the chain along the way. Thank you for the game.
