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

Lider1(red, conflux, random, Feur) def ~no1_knows_me~ (blue, castle, Valeska, Kreg Xek) 2sm4d(3) 2.2.4

First week was my best game as flux. Birds upgraded, hero level 8. External dwelling of air elementals.

Second week I was scrambling, Griffin Conservatory on 3, 2 medusa ponds, secondary ramp and citadel. External dwelling of earth elementals.

Third week. I decided to go rush (actually thought about it on the second week, but only went now). In this game my opponent punished me very harshly for my carelessness, went on the attack with no earth at all, and advanced air. If I had had cons, it would have been neutralized, but on three respawns there was nothing, I thought I could handle it without running around treasure zones. In short, I ran to his spawn (secondary), Kreg attacked me himself, treated me to mass slow, and I had to retreat, of course two external dwellings of griffins and one of swordsmen also contributed, but still... I resurrected at home, took the external dwelling of fire elementals and ran to the treasure zone.

On the fourth week, Hive on 4 vives, external dwelling of manticores and red dragons in the treasure zone. I'm waiting for growth to take the Dragon Utopia.

211. Month of plague. Very timely! Can't complain! Ran around the external dwellings, took a weak Dragon Utopia, lost birds, basically lost almost everything. But got a red orb, book of air, and boots of resistance.
216 Flew over and took the enemy's castle.
217 Staying there for the night.
221 Taking angels, champions, and capturing my opponent's secondary rampart. Waiting for Kreg myself, because I saw he went to the treasure zone which was much better than mine and took 3 hives I had revealed. (I should have gone to his treasure zone.) Waiting for more surprises...
222 Kreg approaches, threefold advantage in troops, but chain lightning helped, I retreat.
223 Kreg runs through the metro to his secondary.
224 I attack Kreg, wipe out all troops except for a surprise of 17 gold golems.

Blue tried to take the castle on their turn (where the noob was sitting), but desync started, and after a whole series of failed attempts we decided the outcome of the game verbally. Since there was practically no chance, on the next turn growth from the Conflux was brought in, then the turn after, troops from the Stronghold in the form of bears, birds, etc. were brought, and my secondary ramp was built up to horses, the golems and rabble would hardly have held even in the castle :).

Thanks for the game. I already thought I would lose. Worth noting - you're improving!!! :)
