Wic (blue, Fortress, Bron, Gynnar) def Nagan-4 (red, Castle, Valeska, Gretchin) @ 8xm12, SoD, Chaos patch 200%, 135

We didn't write to each other, agreed on these towns and rules.

111 rolled 8xm12, that's good, Bron has 7 basilisks, plus Alkin with lizardmen and Shahti with 2 stacks, lizardmen are not built.

Right next to the town an external dwelling of Dragon Flies with no guard - totally awesome, scout heroes immediately ran for them.

117 built Wyverns and basilisks in the Citadel, there was also an external dwelling of Behemoths behind a horde of thieves (and a scroll there too), I didn't dare fight them, and it was also quite far away. So I didn't include the Behemoths either.

On the respawn, besides Dragon Flies, there were 3 external dwellings of Gnolls.

At the start of week 2 I run out to the center and start grabbing computers and villages. The computers here are nothing like the WT ones, they didn't even really kill anything. I found 4 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Griffin Conservatories, 2 Dragon Utopias, an external dwelling of Angels (Bracers). And Gynnar showed up in the tavern.

At 124 I finally bought Gynnar and started collecting Dragon Fly Hives with him. The guards were the most unpleasant - 60 Magmas, 25 Silvers, 40 Liches, 13 Monarchs. But every single Dragon Fly Hive gave 8 Wyverns. As a result, by the end of the week only Wyverns were left. Well, and the Angels too, both Griffin Conservatories turned out to be minimum, plus I took the external dwelling of Angels.

I thought about grabbing a Dragon Utopia in week 2, just out of principle, the army allowed it, but the first one's guard turned out to be lots of Wizards, and I found the second one too late, and the main hero didn't have time to get to it.

There was never enough time, even though I moved very quickly. The lack of a light spell took its toll, plus mass battles on all fronts - the number of unexplored roads fluctuated between 7 and 9, and the 3 scout heroes didn't fall behind the main hero in leveling up until the end of week 2.

At the start of week 3 I took a Pandora's Box with 15K behind a horde of Monarchs, they hit me a bit. Then both Dragon Utopias - both mini - Sword +5 All, Red Ball, Speed Ring, Periapt.

At the start of week 3 the red cockroach showed up, I squashed him, but there was no follow-up. And at 134 the scout heroes on Angels, while breaking through paths, stumbled upon the red main hero.

135 Gynnar made a raid across half the map, didn't reach Gretchin, but blocked him. With Bracers and the Red Ball.

Thanks for the game!

Indeed, I was professionally cut down.
We started immediately, external dwelling of Monks and Archers. At 117 only 1-4 in the castle, lacked resources. In week 2 I came out of the respawn - 3 minimum Hives, a Pandora's Box with experience, a Pandora's Box with gold. Everything was taken easily, thanks to the ranged units, the hero was leveled correctly.
But in week 3, Gynnar very luckily, on the last tile, locked Gretchin in a tiny spot, and I couldn't unite the army, although there was a chain set up :smile16:

But even with the united army I was losing, at 135 Yura had revealed twice as much territory, had already taken 2 Dragon Utopias, and the hero was better leveled.

The other games are still being played, quite tough games.

I'll do mini-reports as we go along.
Let those who didn't come regret it - we're about to have a buffet now. :smile08:
