FB-2 (spring 2010)

AlexTheGreat (red, Castle, Valeska, Nymus) def Javdet (blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran), VT, 8MM6a, 132.

Paid 2300 for Gosha, got 700 back on color. Got double builds 3 times on rests -
one was re-rested, the other 2 due to a level 5 hero. Also re-rested 1 double. 111
got distracted by breaking through Centaurs and
was one tile short of continuing the chain through the crypt, Gosha without speed but scout heroes reveal
2 hives near home. One road was blocked by hive guard, the other leads to the swamp
computer behind lizards, there is a Dwarf Cottage at home - I decide to run through the rough terrain in that
direction for
exp. In the Dwarf Cottage I was offered a choice between Learning and Offense, I take Learning.
All other heroes are mages as luck would have it, no one to assign to sub-stacks.
Around 115, having already moved Gosha, a scout hero running to flag a mine in an inconspicuous corner
sees a Pandora's Box behind Griffins. Gosha turns around towards it. At home everything points towards
having Vampires and Liches in the castle, cash for splitting, upgrading and buying. After the Pandora's Box
the main hero is level 13. 121 in the tavern a Vampire Lord, I have to pick it up to buy him,
Gosha
breaks through, takes a Dragon Fly Hive and heads towards the revealed Griffin Conservatories. The scout hero having received Vampires
takes the 2nd hive and heads in the other direction. There it turns out to be the exit to the center. Return
of the Vampires and +4 Angels. Red appears in the center with 8 Angels, there's nothing left to do
but run into a dead end to see what's there. Vokial on Vampires deals 20 per hit and
a Naga Guard blocks the passage to the opposite treasure zone. Already 3 Dragon Utopias are visible in different corners,
at home Mage Guild level 4, resources for level 5 are in the pipeline. Nymus with insane
stats appears in the tavern, meaning after the utopias. Valkyrie's invasion on 131 came as a surprise. It turned out
that my castle was clearly visible from the lookout. Alex made great
use of his chocolate, for 8mm6a an appearance like that with Dimension Door on 131 is not a common occurrence.
Then a disconnect happened and I decided not to continue. The autopsy showed red had 3 Dragon Utopias
in a row, another 1 not far from the castle, 4 Griffin Conservatories (the furthest one only 3 days' march from
the capital) and decent in financial terms.

Thanks for the game.
