Elimination Chamber

29.08.2010, Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vigo (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Verdish/Kyrre) jebus 131

On the first week - after all my restarts, I got 2 stacks of Troglodytes and couldn't leave the Main even a step, because up to 10 Greater Ifrits blocked the exit from the City for some piece of junk (+1 to Spell Power). Well, nothing to do, I skipped 1 turn, on the second day I bought 7 Evil Eyes, couldn't take troops from a non-native scout hero, and went with my native troops against 8 of them. I had to sacrifice 7 Evil Eyes to exhaustion, only 70+ Troglodytes survived, and I went to collect gold. An external dwelling Manticore was spawned, I went there, took it, took a Mine, took a Stronghold village. I placed Manticores in the Citadel and their Portal. I didn't take any more external dwellings (there were 2 Troglodyte, 1 Evil Eye).

On the second week - I captured Gauntlets, Libraries, a Mini-Griffin Conservatory, with just 120+ Evil Eyes and a Greater Stack I took the Book of Earth, doubled my Mana and went with 160 Mana into a Level-2 Dragon Utopia (Sword of the Frozen and Oracle's Hat), went to the Center, with up to 100+ Units with a Greater stack, took the +4+4 Hat, the Central Castle, a couple of Hives, a Level-3 Dragon Utopia (Red Ball, Crystal of Earth, Orb of the Firmament), Town Portal to Main for Mana. On 131, Kyrre and Verdish entered my strike zone with troops. I took 2 Cats from an external dwelling, an army from a scout hero who had arrived at the Tavern, Town Portal to Central, attacked the scout hero who had the entire army nearby, also in the strike zone of Kyrre on Dragons (though who knows, a hefty scout hero level 30), Vitya concedes victory.

Thanks Vitya for an interesting game!
