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

Today, there was a misunderstanding during the game with Valera, so I won't be posting it. But in order to post at least something, I decided to dig through the saves and uncover our 1st game, which had never been posted:) .

KostyaN(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Tamika) draw loi(red, Ramp, Ivor, Ivor), 2sm4d(3), 211.

After all the restarts, I got Lorelei and a crappy Dungeon:( . Out of frustration, I switched to Tamika with 1 skeleton. I came up to the surface, took a human secondary hero with a Griffin Conservatory and a Hive (for 50 snipers:smile18: ) on his respawn. I had no upgraded dwellings beyond Medusas for the entire game:) (although their external dwelling was the most decent one:rolleyes: + I found 2 Troglodytes). As for gold — just 1 Dwarf Cottage, minimum, and that's it. I only managed to level Expert Necromancy closer to the end of the 2nd week:smile18: , which meant there was simply no tempo. But by the end of the 3rd week, with no aggression from Valera, after a Griffin Conservatory-3 and a Hive-8, I ventured into an interesting treasure zone, primarily interesting for the Boots of Speed +15% to Necromancy:D , whose insane guard — 100+ energy elementals — wiped out all my Troglodytes. After that, there was another Tree of Knowledge +8 and a couple of chests for experience (in the last slot, I finally got Earth Magic, but they forgot to give me Log:mad: ). As for magic — 2 spells: Haste and Dispel:smile40: . When Ivor came to my secondary hero with a pretty decent army, I thought it was GG, but no — he made one careless mistake: he attacked my secondary hero, which had a scout hero dug in, forgetting to remove his grand units — and the defenders halved them:smile10: . Then he took the so-called "capital" and rushed into the same treasure zone where Tamika was operating. It got really scary, but I came up with a cunning plan to swiftly recapture my native Dungeon: I positioned myself near the second unbreached entrance to that treasure zone, next to the teleport — from the surface back underground to home, but in such a way that I couldn't be seen (the precision was "a step to the right, a step to the left":cool: ) — this allowed me to safely build up speed and, with the last move at 147, retake my capital, which completely broke my opponent's spirit — I had also built up my army (half a thousand skeletons alone plus a bunch of archers), and I was planning to gouching toward the 2nd secondary hero (which, as revealed later, had access to treasure zones with 3-4 of the most valuable Utopias). In short, due to the unclear struggle and sluggishness from the lack of Log and movement artifacts on both sides, we decided to agree to a draw;) .

P.S. The funniest part of the game was that in the 2nd week, having taken a risk with a Scholar on my main hero, I got Leadership. A Necro with Leadership — that's a tough guy:) :smile17: .

Thanks for the game, it was a great run!
