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

Javdet (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Gunnar) def OUTLAW (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 136

Wow!! Just some kind of losing streak.... Somehow I angered the generator, although this was probably the best game for Dungeon I can remember, not in terms of the final outcome, but in terms of development....
Start with 2 stacks of Troglodytes, roads are fast, from the lookout I spot a small native respawn. Roads to the GO, to the Inferno secondary, to the metro to the second secondary.
On 112 - upgrade Harpies, I break through 2 Dwarf Cottages (mini and maxi). On 113 - I break through 20-49 Earth Elementals and 50-99 Marksmen to the Stronghold respawn, Shakti is already level 7 with Expert Earth Magic. On 114 I broke the block to the Inferno secondary. A Griffin Conservatory is spotted.
115 - I cap Inferno and Stronghold simultaneously, in Stronghold I build Griffins - I go for the Bears. 116 - Shakti level 8, built Bears. 117 - Dwarf Cottages of 20, Shakti level 9 stands next to the Dungeon where I plan to buy a spell book, next to it a pillar with Slow. In Stronghold - Bears with Fort, home - Manticores with Fort, the external dwelling of Troglodytes is captured, unfortunately no other worthwhile external dwellings were found for the Portal of Summoning...
121, 122 - maneuvers, Shakti camps at the Griffin Conservatory. 123 - Griffin Conservatory level 2, Naga Bank (3), a 2nd Griffin Conservatory is spotted. 124 - max Griffin Conservatory. I start thinking about a rush, the 5th slot gave Wisdom, enough resources - I go for Mage Guild level 5. The GO is spotted from the opponent's side - 20-49 Giants...
125, 126 - maneuvers, Dwarf Cottage (20 stack). 127 - I have Shakti (level 13) spend the night in the capitol with doubled mana, in Stronghold I built Orcs and placed a Castle. 131 - maneuvers with building the Mage Guild, I decide if Mage Guild level 4 gives Resurrection - then I'll fight both GOs. 132 - Mage Guild level 4 gives complete garbage. 133 - built Mage Guild level 5 - it gives Dimension Door, I level up Shakti's Wisdom skill to Expert, I teleport home to learn Dimension Door. 134 - dispersion in the corner of the Stronghold respawn (behind the mountain there's a metro to the GO and a road), scouting the land showed the opponent's capitol very close
I saw Gunnar's stats - got very sad, but I'm counting on the lack of serious magic and on my shooters dealing 235 damage. 135 - Dimension Door to the opponent's respawn, I take Castle. Scouting the land shows a Necropolis secondary not far away, I count on getting to it with dispersion + stables speed boost.... But, I stupidly lacked one tile to capture Necropolis :smile35:
Next turn Gunnar gets there with replenished mana, great stats, and Implosion, and proves the futility of all of Shakti's previous deeds....
I really enjoyed the game!! Thank you Roman!! If only the distribution were a bit more even....
