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

Wlk777 (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Ciel) def. Temofey (red, ramp, Ivor, Ivor) 2smd4 (3) 127. After all the respawns, the map was a mess; there was one stack of troglodytes underground, totaling 80 creatures. The roads were slow, there were many ranged blockers, and there was little money, making it seem like giving up was the only option. But then, on turn 112, I found a mini-resource (although there were 2 groups of magogs on the way to it). I barely managed to take it, and I was left with 25 troglodytes. I cleared a path to the surface with 46 elves from a large stack, plus 20 storm elementals. There, I found a secondary Inferno stronghold, and behind a group of hellish, unupgraded dogs, I freed Ciel, a level 5 prisoner with experience in water magic. Soon after, I found a cloak +2/2 to attack and knowledge, and most importantly, a path through the wilderness to the main resource of my opponent (or to the treasury, which was less likely). At the end of the week, on the edge of the map, I found a stash of cats, but I didn't have time to get to it. The result of the week: the cats are in the fort in the capital. At the beginning of the second week, I take that stash, develop Ciel, and on turn 127, with 1 angel, 8 large cat stacks, and a ranged unit with 150 attack + experience in healing, I managed to besiege my opponent in the capital (Citadel). There was a lot of mana, and I won, although only 2 cats survived. Thank you for the game.
