24.12.2010 theShevanesian (red, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) def Hero of Might and Magic 3 (Dungeon, blue, Shakti, Shakti) 8MM6A 127

An interesting match turned out. We played random, but it gave us castles and heroes as if by script) I had a long transition to the adjacent zone, so I only got there on day 115. Decided not to rush the opponent, gathered some money, planned my chains. Built 123456 in the castle. On the second week I hired heroes; besides Ivor, there was Kyrre. At first I leveled Ivor; on 122 he even took a Griffin Conservatory - tier 3, but Kyrre was running so well that I switched to him. Cleared the central treasure zone by 126 (poor one), got 16 wyverns, and thought about what to do - take the native Dragon Utopia, run to another one, fortunately located nearby, or rush the opponent. Decided to go for the rush; I run out of the center - and there's Shakti on three angels with speed boost. Decent stats, plus a bolt with sorcery=6. He killed all my elves, the bastard, and ran away:) I run further, beat a scout hero with 188 Troglodytes (oh, how hard it would have been with Shakti if he had the full army), then I take the capital and go back - to the second center. But on 127 the same Shakti shows up with the secondary hero's army - I decide to finish him off. Despite expert earth magic, the opponent had no chances here anymore. Thanks for the game!
