Reports on online games and their confirmations (Winter 2009-10 season).

RiMpel2 (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Erdem (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 131.

Decent respawn, enough gold, external dwelling of spearmen, water mill, 2 leprechauns. On day 3 I take a secondary swamp. In the capital, first horses in the castle. On week 2, a scout hero buys all the horses and takes another secondary — also swamp. Clears crypts there and discovers 3 Griffin Conservatories. Valya meanwhile tries to get out of the first swamp. On week 2 I build Angels. On 131 I take Angels, horses, and archers, go to take the first tier-3 Griffin Conservatory, but the opponent writes to concede.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm. On day 1 I took an external dwelling of Wyverns, visited the lookout tower, discovered 2(!) external dwellings of Hydras. On day 2, for some reason Aislin ventured into a crypt with 28 Lizardmen, 22 Gnolls, 2 Wyverns, Skeletons, and Ghosts (took them for cannon fodder, as it turned out, in vain). The Lizardmen failed morale every round, resulting in a loss of the entire army, only 3 Vampires and 16 Zombies remained. I wanted to surrender right away, but out of interest decided to try to climb back. On day 3 with 2 Wyverns, 4 Basiliks I finish off the ill-fated crypt, on days 4-5 I take an external dwelling of Basilisks, and 2 more crypts, which gave a Magic Cape. By the end of the week, with great difficulty I farmed enough for 123467 in the Citadel with a market, took 2 external dwellings of Gnolls.
On 121 I check the Griffin Conservatory (3-4), buy 2 Hydras, and on 122 I take a Dwarf dwelling. On 123 I take a tier-3 Naga Bank with a loss of 8 Basilisks, 2 Wyverns. I build GM1 (Stone Skin, Shield), Tazar (Expert Armorer, Expert Tactics, Expert Earth) buys a spell book and spends the night in the capital. On 124 I take a max Dwarf dwelling, clear treasure chests with scout heroes, Mass Slow is nowhere to be found. On 125 with an army of 2 Hydras, 3 Wyverns, 1+2 Gnolls, 1+1 Basilisk, 1 Wyvern I beat 64 Cerberi and take the first external dwelling of Hydras. On 126 with 3 Hydras, 1+1 Gnoll, 1+1 Basilisk, 1+1 Wyvern I break through 33 Master Genies, they give Offense, and immediately take the second external dwelling of Hydras. At home 1234567 + Castle, Town Hall. On 127 I scouted a Naga Bank and ventured in there without mana with 4 Hydras and single Wyverns, and it was max. Too bad, I ruined an excellent setup... The plan was to upgrade Hydras on 131, a tier-3 Griffin Conservatory, and a home Dragon Utopia. :( Thanks to Oleg for the game and time! :)
