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

Kash (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def KostyaN (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2SM4d(3), 2.3.4.

I confirm and congratulate Vitya on his first victory; I must say, it was very well deserved!

Scouting the respawn on the first week was simply "killing" in the best sense of the word! External dwelling of archers + 2 - centaurs:eek:! On day 1-1-7 I take the first of them (since it was near the free golems), with unupgraded 30 archers + a screen of 1st-level units, losing only about 30 pokemons; I built them either in the citadel or in the castle and bought them from the external dwelling. On day 2 - I take the second one with 65 marksmen without losses (Valya had Tactics), in the dwelling itself I only lost the tent:) . Then came a global brain freeze on my part:D. Instead of running along the fast road, picking up secondary heroes, clearing treasure zones - I went through the grass, first chasing after the bowstring. Then I decided not to return to the road, I cleared the respawn with low-level units (with such external dwellings!), even though I could have seriously leveled up Orrin, who only arrived on the 3rd week; he was given Logistics right away and quickly Expertized. On that grass, I was hoping to reach a secondary Conflux hero, and some treasure too... In the end, after long aimless wandering, I had to split up and take a loooong time to send the army that had been led away back home:(. At home, I immediately took a fat naga bank, the Griffin Conservatory - as always with my luck - minimum(((((. I went along the road to the secondary hero, took it only on the 5th week and there - a minimum Dragon Utopia (the only useful thing was a shield +6), cleared some other small stuff, somehow never reached the treasure zones, and went to fight the ГО with overconfident attitude. I thought: I'll trample them with centaurs alone. Kash modestly kept quiet about our true parameters, I'll tell you: mine were 10-15, his - 29-20; I didn't even deign to check his folder at the tavern:o... I also thought: lightning will decide))))) if anything. But mine was under 400, and his - under 500. So I got what I deserved and signed off, big time.

Thank you for this wonderful game, which teaches me not to relax for a single second!
