Javdet (red, Swamp, Taz, Clavius) def Piterius (blue, Castle, Valya, Valya) 133 2sm4d3

We played 2 games, the first one we screwed up, but it was interesting. ГО from crystal dragons - the rush went to my head, had to go for it, even though there wasn't much point. Killed on 124 losing 1 black cow, 11 Vaskas and junk from a secondary hero, and for no reason pushed on without mana. They hit back hard, managed to pull through, but the auto-combat exchange left its mark on the outcome...

In the 2nd we agreed to no auto-combat. Purchased Clavius and Isra, decide to go for extreme - breeding skeletons in the Swamp. On 127 managed to fully build up, in secondary Dungeons eyes under meat for Dragon Utopia. Messed up on 131 forgetting to build the mana amplifier, overlord returns, then opens a Pandora's Box with basic wisdom - empty, also took the Vaskas away from the castle even though I planned to upgrade, but Peter didn't stay in debt either - went into the Griffon Conservatory with a maxed scout hero.

Thanks for the games.

Yeah, I went into the Griffon Conservatory for some damn reason without checking, even though I had a scout hero standing nearby specifically for that. I'm very careless, what can I say. I botched a very interesting map - it gave us both surprisingly even stuff, even though we both picked all rests.
It all started back in the first one :D , when on 117 I bought fairies and a tavern in a secondary for some reason, moved the army through a chain of 6 heroes back, but Valya was 1 hex short of a crypt, and I was 1000 short for building a Citadel. Then I saw I had run past gold and crypts :eek: - let Valya have dithered there for a day, but no, the tempo... In the end, horses in the Fort and I built Griffins, but they never came in handy :( .
In the second one I seemed to have improved, took the Conservatory with a two, broke through a lot of gold golems, behind them a box with 40 Marksmen and an external dwelling of Griffins, split the Angels and Marksmen in half and by the end of the week built up to Castle. On 127 with 2700 I farmed 14k in a day from crypts and Imp Hives, did a bit of trading and plugged in the Angels, it became easier to breathe for the perspective of facing the bones. And already scouted 2 Dragon Utopias and a grass treasure zone.
On 132 scouting noticed the top of another Conservatory, I'm moving there and make a fatal mistake. I checked several times later - there was no way the scout hero could take it, why this happened - who knows, there was only 1 Angel and the Swords weren't upgraded :mad:
On 134 Valya took it with a loss of 9 Archers from the first hit of the Griffins and the consumption of 16 Dwarves, 28 Swords were killing half a stack per hit, the rest after the Marksmen's shot. But it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks for the game, favorite :) !
