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

wariator (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar) def SEM_56 (red, Barbarian, Gurnisson) 2smd4(3),222 I’m in a hurry, so without numbers! On the first week, Gunnar got a Scholar with Necromancy! Decided to experiment! It turned out pretty well, and most importantly, it allowed me to gather skeletons quickly. Especially since, by chance, the Vampire’s Cloak was lying nearby! Again, on top of all that, the Boots of Speed were also near the castle! Of course, the Evil Eye hive also helped a lot! For a long time, I just ran around with Evil Eyes, a few Harpies, and skeletons! There was even a time on day 133 when, for some reason, I attacked the Berserkers and lost the Harpies! 21 Evil Eyes, 120 skeletons! After that, I decided not to rush and to beat all the small creatures in a row, gathering skeletons! On day 141, I assembled an army, namely 16 Minotaurs, 8 Scorpicores, about 70 Evil Eyes, still few skeletons (under 100), and I rushed into the tail of the treasure zone — there was a stable nearby! I entered there, killing everything I could; the skeletons grew very quickly, and Gunnar’s movement is good! In short, I ran into Efreet at the portal and saw that I could probably beat them and pass through! But caution, after the losses, prevailed! Because neither defense nor attack is good, and the Efreet Sultans would bite hard! But earlier, I had also seen another entrance to the treasure zone! I decided to break through there! I ran in and, on the last steps, ran into a scout from Gurnisson’s brigade and killed him along with his army! I didn’t reach the leader with the birds and wolves. Gurnisson ran off in some direction — who knows! I didn’t pursue because I didn’t know exactly where to go! I’m weak in attack and defense, and I only have 18 mana! I transferred the army and hit a level 2 Dragon Utopia next to which Gurnisson was standing! It gave me the Diplomat’s Hat! Immediately, I had a plan: to replenish by splitting at home, get mana, buy spells, and run to his castle with an explosion — much more fun now! So I did! I broke the passage upwards and ran to his castle! On the second turn, I reached it and took the castle without defense, but with unrecruited troops! Gurnisson, as I understood it, stayed in the treasure zone! With all the movements, it’s worth noting that I was also gathering skeletons quite well — there were already about 500 of them! I holed up in the castle, and then came the mistake: I left part of the army, flew over the mountains to get into another treasure zone — there were Dragon Utopias, Dragon Fly Hives, Pandora’s Boxes. I generously spent mana, and then — disaster — I don’t have enough for Jump and Fly! The detour is long and blocked; from the army, only skeletons remained, and I have no mana for battles! I have to lose skeletons bit by bit again! And then Gurni showed up near my own castle! Fortunately, I had captured a Mana Talisman (+3) a couple of turns before Gurni appeared and placed it! Gurni, not far from his own castle, replenished his mana! I move my army out of the castle with a scout and run to the mountains, closer to Gunnar! Gurnisson doesn’t go to his castle but dives into the underground and discovers my castle! Thanks to the talisman, I fly over the mountains, combine the army, and take a position in the castle to speed up! Gurnisson captures the Dungeon and digs in there! I jump to the underground, dive in, and attack Gurni in the castle! I immediately hit with Chain Lightning! And since Roman’s army, thanks to my earlier successful trip, is small, two Chain Lightnings of almost 1000 damage each decided almost everything! Unusual thing: his Berserker didn’t work on me! Some kind of glitch, but in this case, I would have had enough meat to hit with Chain Lightning another 5-7 times! Thanks for the game!
