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

Van (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Hermit (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), panic, 1.3.6.

That's how it was. I didn't have any restarts, and the resources were distributed very poorly. There were no monetary artifacts, except for the Medusa artifact behind a group of archers deep in the spawn area. In the first one, I cleared a group of harpies on the way to the Necropolis spawn. I used up absolutely all my healing and lost some lizards. I didn't have any money, and even wyverns were questionable, but by the end of the week, I had 1-4, 5 in the Citadel. The weakest guard on the passage was 49 vampires with a large stack on the ground. I cleared it, but the snake stack couldn't hold and they reached the lizards - as a result, I lost 3 wyverns. There's literally nothing on this spawn either, except for the Pandora artifact behind many knights and the Mage Crown with a +2 Knowledge and Spell Power cloak behind a group of archers and many mages... I was already ready to give up, but Tazar took the Pandora artifact for 5000 experience and immediately learned Expert Earth! Then he lost the last 2 wyverns while defending the Mage Crown, but all the lizards are intact, and there's a slow in the guild on the Necropolis spawn. In the third one, with Expert Slow, I cleared two more passages with strong guards, captured villages, and was about to go to the Treasury, but then Shakti captured my village and went to the Treasury himself. I didn't know he had Expert Logistics and Boots, and when he went far into the Treasury, I took the village back and went to his capital. I just forgot to transfer the remaining troops from my capital. If I had known he had Boots and Logistics, I would have definitely gone to the Treasury. But Shakti, boosted by angels, traveled a huge distance from the Treasury and reached Tazar. :( :( :( Well, then everyone was slowed down, and I couldn't counter 4 angels and 12 wyverns. :( I bought my way out and surrendered.
Thank you for the game.
