2010

OUTLAW(red,Swamp,Verdish,Nimus) DRAW Stizko(blue,Castle,Rion,Nella), 8mm6,1-4-6
On the first week, I took the capital from a grey AI (Stronghold) and killed it by the end of the week. Freed a level 5 Miner from prison, but his secondary skills were not impressive at all. By the end of the week, Nimus—with expert logistics and basic defense—is camping in front of a Hive and a sword +2/+2 for 20-49 same-tier ogres. Home is 1-6 with a Stronghold. On the native respawn, found a Dragon Utopia from a tasty spot, external dwellings of bulls and wyverns with an artifact for 20-49 same-tier wood elves, a Pandora's box behind a horde of air elementals, and a painted lizard external dwelling. On day 121, with new growth, I break through 50 same-tier ogres who beat me to a pulp—I was left with 7 bulls and 27 lizards(((. On 122, clues(6), 125 in a small treasure zone: console(1), clues(8). The opponent is playing with native secondary skills, which is very oppressive. On 126, I check the console(2-4) and decide not to rush. On 127, the Miner breaks through the bull and wyvern external dwellings. Home is Castle. 131—console(3), 132—Hive(8), 133—Pandora's box(10k exp). 134—home Dragon Utopia(3)—gladius, cap +3/+3, boots of levitation, and a pendant against blindness. Of course, not at all what I expected from the 3rd one, but thanks for that.
Next is clearing the large treasure zone, but it's off-limits... useful stuff: tunic +4, artifact +2 to speed, Pandora's box with exp. The opponent isn't visiting, so I decide to storm his place myself. First contact is in the underground, where I take his 3rd secondary dwelling—native as well, by the way))). From the same view, I spot a Dragon Utopia and a Hive nearby; I drool and send out scouts to find a passage into this treasure zone. On my move in the metro toward that Dragon Utopia, the blue ГГ was spotted. Nimus, using expert logistics and pathfinding, flies into the opponent's territory and camps in front of the stables at the fork between the capital and the blue native secondary dwelling. Three steps away is the metro where Nella is camping. The maneuver worked; Nella, not wanting to be cut off from home by the end of the week—and besides, she didn't know about that Dragon Utopia—decided to attack.
FF: both have a lot of one-unit stacks. Nella has mass haste, no offense, and natural resilience. Nimus has expert tactics, +2 speed, no mass magic)), expert offense with defense, and 21 attack. We fought for a VERY long time. The opponent maneuvered great (damn mass haste((), protecting the archer stack, but apparently the late hour (3 AM) played its part))—he opened a path to the tent (I waited so long for this :smile24:), which I finally smash with a bolt and block the archers with wyverns. Another bloody melee; the opponent realizes it's not in his favor and uses mass haste to shift the remaining archers to the opposite corner and covers them again. Accordingly, I move to my own corner (just like in boxing)) and start casting bolts for 130+ hits, as I had plenty of mana unlike the opponent. The folks charge into melee again, more slaughter, and eventually Nella retreats with 10+ pokemon and 1 archer. Nimus's remnants are 38 lizards and 1 gorgon. I bring the "Uruguay national team" of losers to reinforce the lizards and gorgon and run toward one of the opponent's Castles. We ended in a combat draw. Thanks for an interesting game!!!
P/S: my debut on the 8mm6 template :D
