31.03.2010 AYMAN (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Dubrovin Pavel (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 214

Thanks Pasha for the game !!!!!!!!!

Here is how it went.

On the first week - Lorelei arrived, but I didn't take the last rest because there were exits to 2 external dwellings. Among the good things at the respawn were Boots of Speed near the Wood and a Troglodyte external dwelling. One external dwelling led into a Crowd of Medusas, the other into a Teleport for Gold Golems. I took a +2+2 Cloak from the Gargoyles there, but lost many (18) Troglodytes to 100 Greater Gremlins, then took the Castle external dwelling. A Griffin Conservatory was spotted there and another Griffin Conservatory at the external dwelling behind the Medusas.

On the second week - home external dwelling, Griffin Conservatories (1+3), headed to Treasury.

On the third week - I tried to find something good there until the end, but only cleared a Magic external dwelling (which I never bought out), and found nothing else; I came out to the Grass and went to the Sandy Treasury, where I took a couple of Mini-Beetles behind decent guards and saw Ayman's Horse. Decided that he was operating there and retreated to Main with a trip to Another Treasury, as there was nothing decisive.

On the fourth week - Lorelei (4.3.) with a Harpy lost a duel to a Barbarian (5.0.) with a Greater Centaur; Shakti in Treasury took Pandora's Box for 60 Troglodytes, Titan's Gladius and a Minimum Dragon Utopia (Hat +4+4). That was all. I retreat to Main, and since there is nowhere else to go, I head toward Ayman without any hope for a miracle. I took the Main, but have absolutely no money for anything. Then I decided to take an external dwelling so they wouldn't cut off the Chain leading to the Treasury that shines with stars, but didn't notice that it turned out to be occupied by Kirr already. When I had made more than half a turn, only then did I decide to look at what was inside and realized it was game over; I fold back to my own Underground so as to meet death on home soil. Ayman takes his Main. He doesn't attack; I try to break through to the Treasury, but I am caught and killed at the entrance.

Thanks to Ayman for an interesting game!
