20.10.2010 Neverminder (Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Izra) lose to Wlk777 (Red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) Panic 135
I am the dumbest creature in the world.
In the first round, I broke through to the secondary castle, where I dealt 51 damage with Magogs for Pandora on round 117. In Pandora, I received 80 skeletons. I wanted money or experience at worst, so I got extremely angry: "What are they for?" I asked the generator. The generator responded by giving me Izra in the tavern on round 121. I took Izra, the number of skeletons increased, and she immediately killed 110 Gnolls and 79 Imps, and by the end of the round, there were 159 skeletons. I decided to stay on Izra. Everything was wonderful. True, they gave me useless things (Keen Eye, Intelligence). But the skeletons grew like mushrooms. On round 131, I took a consul for three Angels. Haste on the skeletons (there were 268 of them), and they killed 30 Griffins in one hit. The rest were bound by Dendroids and shot down by Grand Griffins. Then I moved far, far away to two more consuls (for 4 and 2). I took 9 Angels, 414 Skeletons, 46 Grand Griffins, 8 Unique creatures, 68 Centaurs, some Gnomes and Pegasi, and decided it was time to finish. Vistan had decent stats, but according to the Thief's Guild, his best creature was only a Wyvern. Might also showed higher stats for my creatures. On round 135, I took a Dungeon village, built a GM1 there (oh, if only there was a tavern...), dropped off the entire army except for the Angels, and I'm sitting there. I think: if Valentin attacks, the entire army will join me. And suddenly, I notice an artifact +3 to Strength for Pegasi near the castle in the Swamp (oh, why was the Dungeon in the Swamp?). With 9 Angels, I easily kill the Pegasi, take the artifact, and want to return to the castle, but due to the terrible penalty, I'm one tile short of returning. Of course, Vistan didn't miss his only chance: he moves to his village and first attacks Izra, and then the village. GG. Serves me right: such stupidity is unreal.
Thank you for the game and the lesson!
