Team Tournament Reports (Spring 2010)

1 round "Епуны" - "Witches"

Decontaminator (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def RomarioGrom (red, Castle, Valeska, Galthran) 2sm4d(3) 145
We took the restart and off we went. (Red took the restart at 111, blue at 113, since the latter didn't find any goodies at their respawn, and Tazik, having broken through to the secondary, got Leadership on level-up and hit a block.)
Roads are slow, Lizardmen are built, 2 native heroes in the tavern (Dragon with two stacks and Verdish with a tent), an experience pile of 1000 is visible, but off the road that goes straight down; a narrow passage upward is blocked by 20-49 Gargoyles.
111. We build Serpent Flies. Verdish (with Clavius under her in the tavern) runs down the road as far as movement points allow, revealing a Naga Bank for up to 50 Marks, an Attack upgrade for Demons, a Witch Hut, and a crossroads! Dragon (with Kyrre under him) goes through the experience pile (boosts Armor), breaks through the Gargoyles (who turned out to be guarding a Consul and resources), and reveals a Sawmill. Kyrre with Clavius go through the experience pile to collect freebies and form a chain. Tazar goes through the experience pile (got Offense!) downwards. It only dawned on me later that I should have checked the Consul, since Dragon would have taken level 1 at 112 or 113! But it later turned out that the Consul is level 2-4))).
112. Dragon kills up to 100 skeletal guards for experience and returns to the castle. Klavik goofs up when transferring troops))) and collects freebies on a Gnoll! Tazik breaks through the Attack upgrade and transfers troops to Verdish, who checks the Witch Hut – Air Magic! – finds ГО (Giants/Titans or Green Dragons) and a cache of Cows guarded by up to 100 Gold Golems (great experience, but not soon), which also guard a Ring of the Gem. Kyrre, having done his part in the chain, also runs through the upgrade downwards. At home, we build +1000 Gold.
113. Klavik collects freebies up top. We build Wasps, hire 3 of them. Dragon breaks through the Gnoll guards, Tazik breaks through Captains, and, with extremely poor positioning, into up to 100 Gargoyles in the underground – losing 2 Wasps, 30 Gnolls, and a tent((. Underground, again up to 100 Gargoyles, we could break through, but then we'd have nothing left to fight with. In short, Tazik keeps running and hits up to 100 Harpies on mud. Kyrre and Verdish, moving off-road, collect resources and scout; a Sword +2/2 and a cache of Wivs guarded by up to 50 Medusas are found.
114. Scouts collect a bunch of gold; another Consul is revealed up top. Tazik levels up again and is on a lift boost. A chain from home, where we build Wivs.
Damn, I wanted to write a detailed report, but I keep getting distracted!(((
In short, both got huge respawns, but Red got a more maze-filled one. By the end of the month, Blue only reached the treasure zone because the road went through it, while Red never found any entrances to the treasure zone.
Thanks for the game and the experience.
