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

bRitvo4kA (red, random Castle, random Valeska, Gurnisson) def Javdet (blue, random Castle, random Sorcha, Sorcha), 2smd4(3), 216

The first 2 weeks were similar right up until the buildings. Sorcha's development tree is simply super; after maxing out Earth Magic, I break 2 cons on 7. But money is tight and I have to bring in reinforcements to defend the helmet from a all-in attack of 75 scorpions. It seemed like nothing was wrong—Gurnisson was spotted moving backward in another direction, and there were about 12 cells left until the darkness. But I got caught while he had an advantage in both one-on-one combat and stats. There was nothing to buy my way out with.
7 angels remained, which I used to clear the 2nd treasure zone, but the level 3 Dragon Utopia that I had hopes for only paid off by a third—an Earth Magic book. I kept losing in the chase and surrendered.

Thanks for the game.
