26.03.10 Psyche_7(blue,Castle,Valeska,Valeska) def RomarioGrom(red,Fortress,Wystan,Wystan), mini-nostalgia, 247

We started quite a while ago, so I don't remember the match well.
The roads were slow; for some reason I didn't take rest. There was a snag with the computers: the path to the Rampart was blocked by the GO guard, there wasn't much to go to Conflux with, and I simply didn't run to the Dungeon. On week one, the horses were in the fort, which was unfortunate, but I fought through to the Rampart cross-country and captured the external dwellings of elves and pegasi.
On week two, I killed the Rampart with losses (lacked one tile to sit in the castle).
I spent a long time farming the Rampart area, and then the Conflux computer started putting on pressure, so I had to split my attention. On week 3, I took two Griffin Conservatories (2+3).
On week 4, I captured the Dungeon and cleared a bit of the treasure zone. The opponent broke through the GO on his side but was in no hurry to come to me (I had only cleared the surface — a horde of Efreeti; underground there turned out to be a stack of Titans, I didn't dare).
On week 5, I took 2 Dragon Utopias, fought off some attacks, accumulated artifacts, and got control. By this time I had captured 2 external dwellings of unicorns, built them in the Rampart, and most surprisingly, they were ALWAYS granted to me in the Dungeon portal (despite also having external dwellings of elves, dwarves, and pegasi).
On week 6, I did some hopping, raised some stats, and used the view to see when it would be convenient to jump to the opponent.
On 224, I captured the red castle and unfortunately fumbled a good secondary Town Portal hero there (Valeska never got Earth Magic). I later realized that the opponent, if he had control, had at most expert Town Portal. I decided to keep hopping for now, as there was no advantage and I didn't want to risk it.
I hopped and hopped until the opponent finally flew over for a visit with Flight (good thing I had moved out the Archangels and Champions). By this time I had finally captured Conflux with un-bought growth (and there was a Grail)))), and I also found a Red Orb and Bracers, upgraded what I could. Blues had way too much stuff; I stayed in the castle for now while my secondary Town Portal hero gathered troops.
On 246, I was kindly given the opportunity to retake my main castle, which of course I did. The assault followed.



The Lizardmen shot well. But without a catapult and magic, no one enters a castle, and whoever enters doesn't leave (I'm talking about the visiting Wisps and Flies). GG in a word.

Sorry it took so long, but it's my own fault — you should have killed me earlier.
Thanks for the game.
