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

Wlk777 (Blue, Conflux, Grindan, Moner) defeated zloy_romantik (Red, Castle, Valya, Valya) 2SM4d(3) 136. For me, it was an interesting game. After all the rests, the air creatures weren't built, which is a big mistake because upgrading them means being left without birds, so in the first week, I didn't venture anywhere in particular, I cleared my base, got boots of speed, upgraded a lair of psychics, and by the end of the week, I barely managed to build the birds. Then it got more fun. On day 122, I defeated Moner, level 10, for 70+ gold of elves. Grindan, of course, has been with Masslow for a long time, but he doesn't get any decent skills. On the second week, I took a secondary dungeon, several naga banks (levels 6, 2, and 3), and prepared Moner for the transition to the main base. On day 131, I built stables, a magic university (earth, air, and water, for some reason, maybe because of the Bless spell), then a treasure room, a university, several hives, but the guards everywhere are fierce, consisting of hordes of medusas and crowds of cyclops, so I lost 3 birds and many vivs, but my stats are 2-3 times better than my opponent's. On day 135, Valya breaks the Gate of the Elements (a horde of vivs), goes to my castle with a contingent of 9 champions, 60+ marks and elf troops, 18 cruisers, and a few griffins. I retreat to the capital and, thanks to magic and stats, I win quite easily with an army consisting of 14 psychics, 1 angel, and various minor units like 50 pixies. The almost 500-damage Light Bolt decided everything, and I also managed to hit the enemy with psychics in 3 squads (elves, champions, and griffins) thanks to advanced speed. It's a pity that the opponent came so early; the treasure room was interesting, and there was still a lot to clear. Thank you for the game.
