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

red Oelm (Dungeon, Shakhti, Shakhti) def blue Wariator (Swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 214.

Second time playing online as Shakhti, first time I lost my army to the wolf raiders, second time on 112 I ran into snipers, which can't be broken before 114. I asked for a humble restart.
Right away an external dwelling of medusas, ran around for a couple of days, found nothing better, flagged it, with a cunning maneuver I take my native secondary, in the primary I built 1-4+Citadel+portal+mushrooms, in the secondary a portal. On 121 I take a naga bank with 3 (terribly fought the battle - 40 Troglodytes), I break into the secondary to take the Griffin Conservatory, up to that point I was playing normally but then I started messing around with nonsense. The Griffin Conservatory turned out to be accessible only through a 4-day spiral, naturally I didn't go there, I come out to the blue respawn, there I see Tazar running around with an angel, I take the secondary conflux, I don't really want to transport troops through the swamp. At home I build magic, there's Armageddon, but I don't know what to do with the main hero, I didn't find any Conservatories or Hives, I go to the treasure zone, there's nothing either, but I fought off a couple of stat artifacts, I come out to the blue secondary respawn, on the third, there's a battle where I buy peace, because I have 0 mana and not all the growth. After that I want to try again, but Taz is already ahead in stats, nothing to do, I go to the upper treasure zone, there's a Dragon Utopia visible, but no idea how to take it, my army has eyes and medusas. I clear hives on 137, take them - a tier 3. Sword+5, Wings, together with the Book of Air I get control + I know where the Book of Earth is. On the 4th I fly over to the GO, take the opponent's main, there I upgrade 32 Wyverns in the tavern, finally it shows that I have the army advantage! In stats roughly equal but I have good magic + double mana. I take the opponent's last castle, which was hidden in the sands, I attack, I expect Tazar to have mana problems, and that was the case, although mana didn't seem decisive. My Wyverns immediately poisoned the opponent's Wyvern), and then a swarm and GG. [That's exactly how it was! Dragging through the swamp in the sands without Logistics is terrible, stats go up but the tempo is lost irretrievably! Thanks for the game!]
