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

FireToSky (blue, Rampart, Ivor,Ivor) def Wlk777 (red, Castle, Valeska,Orrin), 2sm4d(3), 146

Confirmed. Restarts are over, no caches, and the secondary zone is also far away. Nothing was given for speed—no logs, no artifacts, no search. Treasure zones are far and blocked so that scouting wasn't possible; going there is a big risk since it's unknown what they give, and with slow movement, it would take plenty of time. I tried to finish as quickly as possible, betting on the only scouted Dragon Utopia near my capital, but nothing good was given there: a cap +4 to Spell Power and Knowledge and armor +1 all. (It turned out funny; I took the Dragon Utopia on auto-battle, forgetting to turn it off, lost 1 horse, 4 crusaders, and an eater). Meanwhile, the opponent got a kettle +6 all, which as it turned out was located 1 day of fast travel from his capital; essentially, this decided a lot in the finale: chain lightnings started hitting hard and the opponent had plenty of mana :mad:. And even though my shooters shot quite a bit, magic decided everything, well, and 38 vives from numerous hives that happened to be closer to the opponent—even if they didn't enter battle—did not inspire optimism :confused: (on my scouted territory I found almost no hives, only far away in the snows). And of course, as usual, when the opponent had strong magic, I had nothing against it; once again lost the battle due to the opponent's strong magic. Thanks for the game.
P.S. Breaking through 4 ГО in 1 day—could this be a new record? :cool:
