Lider1 (red, fortress, Tazar, Kyrre) draw Vmn2009 (blue, stronghold, Kreg, Kreg) Jebus Cross 144

The first draw in my practice that I decided to post.

We played in two sessions, managed to find time on the 31st to finish it -)

The slow roads were a pain, but we don't care, we play. Kyrre in the tavern, I understand with my mind that he is more profitable, but I can't refuse Tazar. After long mental torment, I pick Kyrre.

Captured a secondary dungeon. Opened another secondary (also dungeon), but didn't take it — the scout hero didn't have troops. Built 1-7 in the citadel. And the respawn is not great for Jebus, an external dwelling of wyverns and basilisks. From the start, the external dwellings of gnolls helped of course. 2 beehives not far from the road. Three Griffin Conservatories, two of which are in deep swamp, and one Dragon Utopia. Basically nothing else.

121 beehive for 6 wyverns
122 another beehive — mini ((. Upgraded them at home.
123 Griffin Conservatory, a three without magic, crashed and burned. Same turn, broke into the castle and bought a spellbook.
124 running to the Griffin Conservatory in the swamp. One is a minimum (didn't waste moves on it) and the second is a tronk.
125 took it — a two (. And I stand at a Dragon Utopia (1-2).
126 the establishment with 5 angels, 20 gr. wyverns, 2 hydras, and a glutton took it without problems (mini). From the useful, a necklace +3 defense. Break into the secondary dungeon and double the mana.
127 The problem of these two weeks is solved, in three guilds, shrines, and scrolls I just can't find slow! Finally, a scout hero finds the scroll! Well, just a precious scout! (I need to beat the Guardian Object somehow!) With Kyrre, I break back home, the neutrals were far away, so I had to run through the swamp with a centaur, but I left home already on an angel.

131 Kyrre camps near the Guardian Object with 300 movement points in reserve. And the scout heroes with the growth didn't make it to him :D
132 I kill the Guardian Object (horde of Black Dragons), also a horde of upgraded Gorgons, who morale in battle and in turn kill two hydras with their death stare, oh I was so mad as hell, but that's why I love SoD, (for the emotions damn :D) then I take the Sword of Judgement behind 16 gr. bears.
133 Freebie. Kyrre kills a bunch of hydras for wings!! and a chest with 6 hydras! Took a beehive for 8 and rushed to a three Dragon Utopia, there: Boots of Levitation, a bag of gold, the Book of Fire, and a helmet +10
134 with the little wings I fly to another Dragon Utopia. To avoid cluttering the battle stacks, I wait for some meat to be brought (only 200 moves left). The scouts at this moment reveal a tree and the Book of Air behind a horde of Black Dragons, as well as the edge of a helmet +6 defense guarded by who knows what. Oh for crying out loud! It was already around half past three in the morning, Kreg's stats were looking weak, so I decided I'll just go for it without serious magic support.
135 took the minimum. And there's a Medal of Vulnerability, and gloves! Killed another beehive for 8 wyverns. And flew over to the opponent's respawn, I look and there's another Dragon Utopia, and it looks like it hasn't been taken ) well good, I think it compensates for what I missed on my side.
136 I take it, again Sea Boots means, but there's a Gladius and a Cloak of Abdication.
137-143 after running through the opponent's respawn, I STUPIDLY KILLED TIME, but doubled my mana and realized my idiotic idea of not acquiring magic and not even taking the Town Portal. Then at least with jump it would have been easier to find the opponent's castle.

143 Blue dispelled my doubts about my stats and army strength! Kreg attacked

In short, first round, I cast slow, on the bears a resist triggered! I remove the backlash with a dragonfly, but I didn't think that I could be slowed too, and that's what happened. Bears wait, they shoot a bit, there were 14 of them. On their turn, they hit my 25 gr. wyverns and get a luck proc, that's when I fully felt the difference between Kyrre and Tazar! They were simply gone! And the next turn, my hydras were gone!! Right-right, time to run!! Very, very foolishly I didn't take Town Portal and came without serious magic!!

One turn later Kyrre would have been like this and with an implosion for 4500 damage specially for those damn bears!!!, but my internet started dropping (the network from the phone is overloaded, unfortunately today is the same) we reloaded about 5 times. And we decided to let it be PEACE!

Thanks for the game!
