31.08.2010 OUTLAW(red,Dungeon,Shakti,Shakti) def P.Alexei(blue,Rampart,Ivor,Ivor), 2sm4d(3), 2-2-3

Confirmed. The game turned out very interesting))
To avoid throwing the game like I usually do, I decided to play it safe, didn't rush to break through to the secondary, fought with convenient guards - as a result, by the time I met the opponent, losses were minimal. With Ivor, 3 Elves arrived, but Dwarves were built (which helped a lot later). On the first week 1-6 in the Stronghold. External dwelling of Centaurs (which also helped a lot in the first conservatories). 117 Ivor level 3. On 121 I recruit and want to take the conservatory, in front of it two stacks of 50+ Faeries each, lucky and they flee (generally a lucky game - unpleasant guards fled: 2 stacks of 50+ Faeries, 10+ Storms, 10+ Efreet Sultans, always offered only the skills I needed, found Explosion in Pandora, 30 Monks, 40 Arbalesters, the conservatory was convenient to take - first level 1, then level 2, level 3 and level 3, in the Mage Guild immediately gave all the best and needed first-level spells - overall everything fell into place). On the second week, first encounter with the opponent, on the same day, a scout finds another conservatory, so I immediately split and head there. On 127 Ivor level 5, standing at the conservatory on Angel. On 131 I take the conservatory and split, the scout takes 2 bonfires and resources to buy back Ivor, but everything is in a chain and no one can enter the external market. 132 I buy him back and run into the underground, there at the exit another conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive behind Efreets. Then I take a secondary Dungeon and another conservatory. In the treasure zone there were two successful fights, with Dragons (necro) - a group stack of Dragons hits the Angels, Aging triggers and leaves 1 HP, but Angels kill any stack in one hit, I cast Slow - saved the Angel. The second with 100+ Silver Pegasi, Slow worked on all of them. By the end of week 4 I see a breached GO, I split into the Castle. I attack Shakti with a scout, mana amount is not pleasing, I stay in the Castle. Shakti gets reinforcements and attacks. The battle was interesting, I didn't do everything right, but in the end each had a couple of low-level units left, the Towers strike first, so Shakti flees. Mana is zero, but I had recruited well and was standing on Angels before the attack, so I decide to run to the opponent without restoring mana. One turn later, seven cells short of the Castle. Shakti attacks, I buy myself out. All these days, scouts pick up everything they can in the treasure zone in terms of resources and piles of gold. No one to fight and nothing to fight with, I sit in the Castle. Shakti arrives, and again an exchange down to the last units. From Castle to Castle is two days' travel, I realize this is disaster, because even with small armies, Shakti would cast spells and buy himself out (more Castles - more feeding) - it was the start of the week. Shakti arrives again, I decide to sacrifice Ivor and take out two, or better yet, three strongest stacks and finish off with Labetha (to whom I gave the necklace for magic +3+3). But after a mass Slow, I realize I missed my chance. Labetha fought well and at the end of the battle there were again a couple of units left, but still the Red side snatched the Victory.

Thanks for an interesting game!
