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

numOne (red, Swamp, Wystan, Wystan) def Erdem (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 137

I was dealt a native secondary [town], 2 external dwellings of Gnolls, 1 of Basilisk and 1 of Cows (took on the second week). Broke 3 Crypts, a mini Dwarf Cottage, got Chain Mail +4, home 1-6, without level 5 in Castle, in secondary a Citadel, in both +1000.
On the second week - a Naga Bank on 3, 2 Dragon Fly Hives (6+8), Wystan experted Earth Magic, has Slow, Shield +4, in secondary Wyverns.
On day 132 I break the GO (Champions and Greater Ifrits), sit down in the blue capital (though it's hard to call it a capital - only an upgraded Troglodyte dwelling and a +1000 were built, the opponent was building Barbarians). The Barbarian's land was partially revealed by my Observation Tower earlier, so I see the Castle and the roaming horses, I go there. Shakti breaks to meet me, I make a small maneuver, pick up Necklace 3/3, bring unbought Cows, on day 137 I attack the Castle where Shakti is sitting with 50 Greater Wolves, 17 Harpies, 20 Roc birds and win without any particular problems.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm. My native respawn was small (only Troglodytes from external dwellings), saw an external dwelling of Wolves on rocks, decided to switch to Barbarian. By the end of week 1 I took Barbarian, Inferno. In Barbarian, birds in the Citadel, painted external dwelling of birds, 2 of Wolves. On week 2 I took Shield +5, Imp building, Medusa Storage (all the money from three respawns could afford) and entered the metro-treasure zone, visited the Library, Dragon Fly Hives on 8 and 4, home curiosities in the Castle. At the beginning of the 3rd week Wystan came, took the Dungeon and went to the teleporter, Shakti with treasure broke into Barbarian, Wystan maneuvers, falls back. Then battles with horses for influence on the Dungeon-Barbarian route. I immediately go back to that treasure zone, take another Dragon Fly Hive on 6, Gold Mine, but by the end of the week Wystan returns again with a full buyout, this time a different path through wasteland. I break [get defeated], little money, nothing to buy curiosities, Ogres, Orcs. I gathered only 20 Roc birds, 17 Wyverns and 50 Greater Wolves and with +1 to Speed I thought I could sit it out. Wystan attacks: 16 Gorgons, 108 Greater Basilisk, 26 Wyverns, 20+ Basilisk, 1 Angel, 6 Dragon Flies. With equal stats, neither the dogs' no-retaliation attacks, Mass Slow, Mass Shield, 180 mana, nor even the air elementals summoned against the rules at the end of the battle helped.)) Thanks for the game! It was interesting and scary, he was a real Terminator, not Wystan! :)
