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

bRitvo4kA (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Mephala) def KostyaN (red, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Gunnisson), 2SM4d(3), 137

Confirmed!
The most awful game in terms of my stupidity turned out:mad: . And the fact that, as you can see from the screenshot, with Expert Earth there's no spell book - that's not even the worst part:D .
But generally speaking, I played online as Stronghold only the second time, and even then the 1st was "for fun" looong ago with Cash, where he wiped me out with an Expert Armageddon on a Miner around month 3, despite all my external dwellings (of all levels, except cyclopes:eek: ).

111. 4 heroes, already have 2 useful artifacts: a medal for morale and a ring for attack/defense:smile02: , from the scout saw 3 roads, 2 orc external dwellings.
112. +2 heroes, the first external dwelling behind the blue caps was taken by a scout hero.
113. +another 1 scout hero - a money one:) , all passage guards are revealed: over 20 gray harpies on the snow, a horde of gogs - into the underground, ГО are united, well, and suspicious up to 100 white centaurs guarding nothing - could it be the native secondary town:p ?? sent dad on thunderbirds + stable:smile02: .
114. scout hits the centaurs, but still doesn't reach the secondary town along the very long and also slow roads, clearing the respawn besides resources and gold brought a skull +2 to Knowledge.
115. finally Stronghold №2, Gunn gets Tactics.
116. mice fuss:D - neither dad levels up, nor anything useful is done at all, except that the scout near the secondary town was recaptured...
117. at home bears crammed into the fort with last strength and partial resource exchange, in the secondary town - rocs in the fort as well.

121. the whole mob did God knows what all day, but the save clearly shows that in the evening the whole gang rushed to the stables together, elbowing each other and whatever came to hand - as is customary in the best Barbarian houses:D - it's really very funny to watch how their "trajectories" interfered with each other only:rolleyes: ...
122. the scout hero ran to capture the second orc external dwelling, while dad is only level 3:p - a new noob record (and can you manage to "stall" like that for 10 days:D ?), learn while I'm alive:cool: .
123. also nothing worthwhile:( .
124. dad hits golems, drunkenly stumbles into an unchecked booth with Leadership (good thing it's not Eagle Eye or Navigation:rolleyes: ), and his meager wit isn't enough to buy that book for Advanced Earth:o ...
125. I beat 30+ nimble eyes, run along the tricky road to the snow secondary town.
127. the Tower secondary town is painted, Gunn is level 5 - damn:smile35:, in Stronghold I frantically built citadels:D .

In short, I got tired of describing this disgrace:( . By week 3 all forces were directed at a patch of native respawn with a Cloak +2 speed, Griffin Conservatory, Hive and Dragon Utopia. The cloak for 45+45 flies was taken by a zero-level scout-mage, and then Gunn took 2 angels and 6 ducks, checked the Dragon Utopia - tier 3, wanted to turn back, but since my Stronghold secondary town had already been taken and there were no bright prospects, nor money, I decided to give battle to the greedy dragons - with an army of 3 bears, 2 angels, 6 Wyverns, 16 yellow birds and fodder:D :D :D and without a spell book:smile52: . The outcome is clear to any remotely competent player... Seriously - it was my only chance to buy decently on 141:confused: .... Later I checked what was in it: sword +5 to everything and shield +12, holy crap(((, and with 2 more bears it would have been taken with the loss of all the fodder, 2 bears and a few birds...

PS. And Andrey's treasure zone was such that when I looked at it after the game - my jaw dropped to my knees: 90% of guards are walkers, artifacts as if picked on purpose (КЗ, ГБ, boots, wings etc.), a couple of Hives, a Library and 3 Dragon Utopias nearby, and a scatter of Pandora's boxes with external dwellings for his necro-secondary town:eek: :eek: :eek: . The generation just works out that way sometimes!
PPS. But in my first generation I had a random wonder: boots + gloves on 111 without any losses to my troops on them:cool:

Thanks to Andrey for the game and the lesson in how NOT to play as Barbs:D !
