First game on Jebus Cross. It turned out to be quite interesting.
The respawn was empty in terms of good objects. Just one Hive and a home Dragon Utopia.
On the first week I took two towns (Citadel and Tower), built 1-7 in the Citadel. Took the Hive on day 1-16 with 6 Wyverns. Pappy was still questionable as I had two candidates. Gundula with Logistics and Earth and Taz without Logistics yet but with Tactics.
On the second week I gathered some money and approached it with Taz, but didn't take it. Decided to take it on day 1-31. The rest of the second week was just running around stat boosters and collecting money. Had almost 60k gold by day 1-27. Built Mage Guild level 4 in Tower (Berserker and Frenzy).
On day 1-31 I took the two-stack Dragon Utopia (Shield +4 All and junk), cleared it, went home, then rushed to the center. On day 1-32 I hit GO's Horde of Horses, then the Horde of Barbarian Birds for the Hive and Water Boots. Days 1-33 and 1-34 — two Dragon Utopias, both mini, gave three spell books: Earth, Water, and Air. Then with Taz, behind a hundred Thunderbirds, a box of 25 Demons. Took the Tower, refilled mana. Before that, grabbed Titan's Platemail from the Horde of Genies. On day 1-35 I cleared the Horde of Cyclops for the Eared Helm of Grail and stopped near a Gold Mine with a powerful army (where I had already seen Pashenny's Looshki). On the next turn, a couple of Looshki attacked me, then Kyrre as well.
FB turned out interesting, where I got lucky with Anti-Morale in the first round on Pasha's Wyvern stack. In the end, we traded — I wiped out 10 Devils +3 upgraded ones from Pasha, killed 4 out of 6 Angels, and something else too. Meanwhile, Pasha thinned out all my troops, thankfully I resurrected the Wyverns before the buyback. After the buyback, I made a big mistake by not picking up the Sphere of Suppression from the Hive near the Tower in the center. I stayed to refill mana at home. On day 1-37, Pasha takes the Tower and spots that Sphere from the lookout (what a pain), and stays with 49 Wyverns, 24 Unicorns, and 2 Angels in that fort. The next turn there's nothing left to do — I upgrade the Wyverns, raise 6 Birds from the Citadel (didn't take the single Bear yet). In the end, on day 1-37 I attack Pasha in the Tower fort.
Taz — 29-31-20-22 (already removed Titan's Platemail), 4 upgraded Hydras, 26 upgraded Wyverns, 46 Lizardmen, 6 Thunderbirds, 4 Basilisks, 8 Behemoths, 19 Demons.
Kyrre — 31-18-18-16, I think, 49 Wyverns, 24 upgraded Unicorns, and 2 Angels.
In an interesting second FB, I managed to win.
Thank you, Pasha, for an interesting game!!!!!!!!!
