22.11.2010 AYMAN (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Dima Surmay (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3), 127

We played without rests, which was very convenient.

24 Archers came in, there’s Gundula, she’s on mom duty for now, but later Taz came and got a logistics roll from the stones, the main hero is uncontested. I took an external dwelling of Marksmen, Pokémon, and at the end of the week Griffins. I scouted two Griffin Conservatories, checked one at max, at home there are Cavaliers in the castle.

On turn 1.21, Taz from the stable picks up a Dwarf at 20, a little boost to the finances. I didn’t take the first secondary hero because I saw Kyrre in the swamp, the GO turned out to be in wasteland, there was also a road to the grass for Water Elementals but I didn’t attack them either, and I cleared my own respawn. After the Dwarf Cottage, Taz went home for the book, the scouts cleared the Water Elementals, a Genie’s Lamp took out a couple of Marksmen, and Gundula reached the secondary hero, who turned out to be native. On turn 1.24, the chain returns and Taz takes the mini Griffin Conservatory, minor pest, and aims for the max Griffin Conservatory, since Mass Slow is coming soon. But I decided not to waste time and via the chain sent Valya to clear the metro, near the swamp where I had previously seen Kyrre. Taz got Mass Slow and waits for the power back, but then what I basically foresaw happened. Kyrre suddenly emerges from the swamp and attacks Valya. Kyrre: 4-7-2-2, 25 Grand Elves, 6 Unicorns, 13 Pegasi, 9 upgraded Dendroid Soldiers, 80+ Centaurs + singles; Valya: 2-5-1-1, 60 Marksmen, 6 upgraded Cavaliers, 50+ Pokémon, 14 Griffins + single Pokémon. In a tough battle, I ultimately had to buy back with the Marksmen. I was saved by the first speed of the Marksmen thanks to Valya, and Dima was greatly helped by Mass Shield cast twice. In the end, Kyrre was left with 3 Dendroid Soldiers and around 30 Centaurs. On the next turn, I can’t reach with Taz, but I do reach with a scout hero, give him Angels, 13 Swordsmen, 5 Dwarves, and other junk, and chase Kyrre away. The next day, Dima decides not to continue. And I was already thinking about how to take that max Griffin Conservatory, though I should have taken it—as I calculated, the only issue was the money.

Thanks for the interesting game!!!!!!!!
