Team Tournament Reports (Spring 2010)

Round 9. "3 Bears" - "Contact Noobs"
16.06.2010. numOne (red, Inferno, Calh, Isleen) def Deriel Linch (blue, Fortress, Bron, Bron), panic, 141

Confirmed.
Another loss... I don't even know how to explain it anymore... even though I lived in poverty, with a wyvern nest and two crocodile nests... I placed 1-6(without 5) in the fort — that's the maximum I could do with the buyout from the hives... then I clear the secondary respawn, there's not much gold there either, but through trade I somehow managed to build bulls and a Stronghold... there was also a naga bank (4-6) — I didn't dare go in with 9 wyverns and 15+ crocodiles, 1-2 morale and GG right there... I took it on day 131... then through the overview I saw a Griffin Conservatory... I split up and go to it, but on the next turn NumOne takes that third with Isleen... I scout his army with a scout (20 demons, 250 skeletons, 3 angels, 15 pit fiends) and split Bron to the snow respawn... I take two Pandora's boxes (one empty, the second for the entire 2nd level)... then I think... the skeletons and demons could have been countered by upgraded wyverns (path) but there's meteor shower and 3 angels... that won't work... I can't overpower either, since meteor shower will sort things out quickly... going into magic — no resources for 4GM, since I had to trade for the buyout in the naga area... and there's nowhere left to go, only a small green respawn up top, but the passage goes through the center, which was already occupied by the opponent... I break through into the center and Isleen finishes me off...
Still, I should have gone into magic too) that's the only correct decision given the lack of Dragon Fly Hive artifacts and a Griffin Conservatory (on my side).
Thanks for the game.
