12.09.2010, Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Hermit (Blue, Inferno, Pyrrhus, Pyrrhus) 8mm6a 143

During the first week - roads were slow, Army was normal, 27 Marks available, no external dwellings on the respawn actually, but I spotted a Horse external dwelling in the Transit Zone near the Village, so I'm playing. Money was a bit tight, but Horses were in the Stronghold, and there was a Dungeon village. The Horses were behind a Crowd of Trolls, and some resources were guarded; I decided not to risk it.

During the second week - external dwelling, Medusa nest, Naga-Bank (mini), 2 Mini Griffin Conservatories, near the Dungeon village I take a Hive on 8, and find a Dragon Utopia there.

During the third week - Mini-Dragon Utopia (but with Earth Magic), I get crushed in the Main zone, Basic Earth magic, a Dragon Utopia is 2 moves from the Capital; unfortunately, it's a Max one, 18 Champs, and since I had 18 Crosses (no money to buy Griffins) they might not have managed it, so I wait for growth, also a Mini-Griffin Conservatory, Golden Bow, +1+1 Speed.

During the fourth week - Max Dragon Utopia (Air Magic, Boots of Levitation, Helmet +4+4, Necklace), Earth magic progressed, using Air I spot Volodya's Castle in about 1 move and capture it (Stronghold). Then Vova concedes victory to me.

Thanks for the game!
