FB-2 (spring 2010)

Tournament "FB-2"
Aldegir (blue, Castle, Valeska, Xsi) def Javdet (red, Tower, Aine, Nimbus) panic 146 ;

Xsi 5-7-10-140 ... exp. Earth + exp. Air + exp. Tactics
3 angels +24 wyverns+ 38 gr. griffins +11 champions+ 25 swordsmen + 103 archers and 516 dear little skeletons :)
to be honest .. first time I collected skeletons it seems... so I lost about 150-200 in battles like with liches etc...

Nimbus 6-3-6-110
3 angels + 3 giants + 9 nagas + 17 mages + 230 gremlins+ 380 skeletons + 18 genies .. + resurrection + armorer

Mass Haste+Mass Slow+Mass Shield+Mass Stone Skin + catapult = victory!

By the way, I don't like arguments about how it could have been if "..." ... flying de[CENSORED] yeah and lots of mana and the archer had 130 damage (only 4 mana cost)....
Thanks for the game!

Yes, I forgot to thank for the game, but regarding the archer you won't convince me :)
140 mana is roughly 30 casts of archer in total for 3900 HP, accounting for the periodic need for Slow, Haste, and Stone Skin.
My HP: 450 giants+990 naga queens+720 gr. genies+600 angels+920 grems+225 mages+2280 skeles = roughly 6000 HP with 4 resurrections, 2 armors, and lightning on the catapult, and there was still enough for 1 more lightning. In melee with wyverns and angels, those 2000 HP difference would likely have been compensated, but magic tipped the scales. And that's of course in the realm of speculation - the result is on the scoreboard :)

P.S. Out of the six respawns I explored, only one was not snow or swamp. I'm pushing through, darn it, spending part of the army, and the respawn is empty and the next one after it is again difficult terrain - collecting skeletons was hard :rolleyes:

Thanks for the game.
