Psyche_7(blue,Stronghold,Gurnisson,Clavius) def Vmn2009(red,Tower,Neela,Sandro), panic, 136
Background: When I saw who I was matched against in the first round, I was happy: the nickname was unfamiliar, and in terms of communication, he seemed like a newbie. I decided to play for fun, i.e., on "panic" mode.
The opponent chose his restarts, and I chose none. The initial distribution was normal, with a lot of good heroes (like Kreg), and I immediately saw a goblin lair. My mood improved even more, and we started playing.
...
In general, describing how I played would just be embarrassing. There were a lot of losses and tempo setbacks. But when I got a 4th-level consultant, things calmed down a bit (the opponent already had angels, but I seemed to have a stronger army and more castles).
I captured another secondary castle, geared up, and then...
I thought for a long time about what to cast. I decided to play it safer – Mass Shield and Mass Haste. I didn't regret it later.
The opponent closes his archers, and I move forward partially.
My angels are slowed down (no Earth Expertise – that's good).
...
Then the reds cast Mass Haste (no explosion/lightning/rain is flying at me yet – excellent), and the battle begins – exactly what I needed.
...
After the exchange, I had: 1 angel, half of the cyclops, bears, birds, and wolves, and 230+ skeletons. The opponent had 1+3 angels. There were maneuvers with angels, alternating with slowing down my fast stacks, casting Slow on 125, and attacks with Wait...
I somehow managed to clip the wings of the "holy warriors" (at that moment, I was calling them something completely different to myself), and when only 1 was left, I was already expecting a retreat/bribe. It should be noted that the opponent's morale was -1, but it didn't really show during the battle. But it worked at the most opportune moment: the slowed angels hit my birds, but in the next round – Anti-Morale, i.e., GG.
Thank you for the game.
P.S. Guys, be careful. Vmn2009 is definitely not a newbie! :smile20:
