2010

    I had long wanted to play Dungeon with someone other than Shakti, with some other hero. Started off okay, though very low on gold. Result of the first week - Harpies in the Stronghold, though I lost one; two external dwellings of Evil Eyes were captured; couldn't build the portal. Lorelei learned Earth as her fourth skill. In the second week, I lost another two Harpies, about a dozen Evil Eyes, and a few more in the Medusa dwelling. Leveled Earth to Expert, gathered resources and gold, and in the third week entered the Treasury, breaking through 32 creatures with a gr stack and losing my last 5 Harpies on them. Took the max and min beehives from the Treasury, but then Aiden comes. Split into a village, doubled my mana, then split into the capital, and Olem was 2 tiles short of passing the army and 98 gold short of hiring a hero. Later I realized I could have taken the mercury with Olem from behind the Snipers and, with two marketplaces, exchanged it for 150 gold and hired a hero to deliver the army to Lorelei!... I had the nerve to ask for a save. :) Oleg assessed the situation as a draw. So here I am posting, but honestly, by conscience this is my deserved defeat, because the fact that I didn't figure it out does not excuse me in any way.

    Thanks for the game.
