(Smazzo nickname was in the game and in Hamachi, Mazvitek in ICQ, he never bothered to tell me his forum nickname..)
Pyre in the tavern, on turn 1 I see +4 Attack for 20+ Thieves, +6 Defense for 20+ Pegasi. Can't complain about that. On turn 2 I reveal a water shrine, 2 air and 1 earth. Oh, there will be a lot of mana.. There's another water shrine, but a bit far. Pyre gets Armorer and Earth Magic. At the end of turn 1 I find another earth shrine. Heavy losses – I break everything in a row with Rogues just to get 1-6 in the Citadel. Day 7 – a treasure chest gives Cherry Bow, Pus aren't installed… Money situation is a complete screwup. Half the shrines remain full. Opponent shows off Bears.. )
Turn 2, ГО turns into 100+ cycles, so it's no big deal if anything. I scrape together 43 Storm Elementals somehow, after exchanging a bunch of resources. I take Medusa 4 and Miner Gnome.. ( Money situation is totally impossible again. I risk not only not getting Birds again, but maybe even being without a Castle. On turn 126 stats are already 11-11-3-2 )) Turn 127 is very fruitful. I break through to the secondary town through a block of 90 Earth Elementals guarding the Light spells and !Armageddon. (Storm Elementals really make the difference though, stacks of 15 were killing them in one go) I take the secondary town, put everyone in the garrison, didn't get spotted again.. :) That was basically the plan. Marketplace is built, by that point I had gathered 5k, so the Castle gets built. I start exchanging, and the Birds finally go up, which is incredibly satisfying. )) On turn 131, Dessa in the tavern is 4-2-5-5, nothing to worry about yet. ) Where to find money to buy god knows how many troops.. ) I still need Magma Elementals and Birds, to accumulate spell power, and then whoopee )) I can break ГО. I also really need to build a guild though.. Turn 135 stats are 11-16-4-4, I break through a horde of Air Elementals near the Castle. On turn 141 I reach a fork to the treasure zone or to the opponent. I take a spotter, see a lot of good stuff there, decide to go there first, to be sure. Half the population is languishing in the Castle. I plan to take the Dragon Utopia to buy everything. Guardian Shield is ahead of the minotaurs. The Dragon Utopia is certainly something, not for my stats, and I would have been left lying there (9 Birds, 7 Pacified, 63 Storms, 5 Elves, 7 Magmas). I retreat home. Holy crap, the 60k from the Dragon Utopia isn't enough for the entire population…
I take Birds, finish building the 4th guild, and go for cycles with Armageddon. They fall almost immediately from 17 spell power ) After them, 5 Rust Dragons. At the end of turn 147, Hive 12. On turn 211, the opponent's capital falls. Or rather, complete disregard on his part, in the game and in ICQ.. I waited ten minutes, (censored), and quit. Thanks for the game.. It turned out interesting after all ) Even if the report doesn't get confirmed.
