25.05.2010, тенью бездомной (blue, Stronghold, Crag) def Dutin (red, Tower, Neela) 2SM4d(3), 133

Major alert :D it was fun, although with such play I've got no chance
finally crossed paths with Dutin in ICQ, sat down to play
some crazy respawn spawned, external dwelling of goblins, hounds, ogres, tons of money, I see ГО on the rough terrain, a cunning plan is brewing in my head, gather the respawn and rush
at the start of the second week on the road, and off we went :)
business Belarusian style - I buy hounds and ogres in external dwellings, start recouping money with them, lose 9 hounds and an ogre for a treasure chest for 1000 :)
I don't lose heart :cool: the respawn is densely covered with freebies.

the rush is postponed to the middle of the second week :) around day 122 I go as a scout hero to take the Dwarf Cottage, didn't even check what it was,
turned out to be 150 high-morale dwarves with a boosted stack :eek: , I, honest word, didn't know such Dwarf Cottages existed, thought 100 dwarves max :)
we ran around the Dwarf Cottage for about 5 minutes, first the dwarves after me, then me after the dwarves :) scraped by somehow

meanwhile Crag level two, I realize I won't surprise anyone with such a hero, a new cunning plan is brewing :) buy a spell book
set up GM2, double mana, and rush with lightning at the end of the second week :)
so Crag runs into the castle, buys the spell book, runs 10 steps out of the castle, -----> didn't build GM2 :smile12:
well... the "rush" is postponed to the start of the third week
Crag banks a turn off-road, returns to the castle, learned lightning, got basic air, doubled mana

So, ta-da!!! :smile47: on day 131 I cross the border, stand at the fork, the chain goes left, I follow it,
2 scout heroes attack Crag, one improved Crag's logistics, the second killed three orcs
on day 133 on the last moves I approach the red capital, attack
Crag (7-5-4-120)**vs**Neela (4-8-5-20)
111-57-21-21-10**vs**160-7-32 +6 gr. nagas +1 angel

and the great battle began :)
I strike the gremlins with lightning, the gremlins strike the harpies, everyone else chills :)
around round 5 I guess, I broke a hole in the wall, but going in there is just terrifying
(I recall in one game I ran into the hole, and my champion stack went along some trajectory only it understood and stepped on three mines)
I formed a semicircle at the gate just in case someone comes out...

it was very necessary for someone to come out, because 32 golems can only be killed in melee, the harpies died, and the hounds and goblins start to melt...
and then the Nagas couldn't hold out, opened the gate, and smashed into the goblins, minus 65, tempting, it must have been, to kill that many goblins without retaliation,
but my troops are on wait, the remaining 30+ goblins take retaliation, 50 gr. hounds strike 2 times, minus three nagas,
new turn - haste on 20 ogres, the hounds strike another 2 times (that is, one and a half times :( ), ogres finish off, the nagas fall, and block the gate!
new turn - the hounds break in, take retaliation from the golems, the ogres run in, strike! :smile13: , morale, again strike! :smile13:
it becomes 20 ogres Vs 23 golems, with support from the sky, Ogres Win 15-0

thanks for the game :smile20:
