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

KostyaN (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Wic777 (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d(3), 131.
Thanks for the game! We'll have a rematch soon.

I confirm, the map is indeed uninteresting, poor, and lacks my usual hiding spots. There are no caches, only one pathetic Hive on turn 4, which annoyed me, and it honestly made me lose the desire to play on this map. There's simply nowhere to get troops. Also, my opponent developed very well, as I found out after the game. On week 3, he had a level 7 main hero (expertise, defense, earth, base wisdom) compared to my level 13 hero (expertise, accuracy, water, attack, advanced logistics, and earth), and he had 5 Wyverns (how can you not build Wyverns in the Swamp on week 1, I don't understand). I probably would have lost anyway, even if I had played for another 5 months. A brutal defeat, in short. :)
