"Newcomer-2011. Winter"

06.01.2011 Neverminder (Blue, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def nik312 (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 133

Confirmed.

Yeah... Comrades... You can't throw away respawns like that, you can't...

We played with barely any restarts. The spawn was a miracle! Next to the castle there's a water mill, another one behind the castle + a leprechaun. An angel external dwelling nearby (guarded by a few royal cyclops though... can't take it on day 1... (well... unless you build the angels yourself)). In general, only a complete idiot or a maphacker would take a restart.
111 Vale came with 19 Archers (!!) + 4 Archers from the secondary hero + built in the castle. Total on the first day: nearly 40 Pikemen and 31 Crossbowmen. I'm incredibly happy with life.
113 Vale takes a passage to a grassy secondary, I'm hoping for a native...
but on 115, after messing up the troop transfer to the scout hero, I still take a conflux secondary to break through to the sawmill. A crazy idea flashes to upgrade the built Air Elementals.
because of that, on 116 I build a Mage Guild in the secondary (Vale finally gets a spellbook) — neither Haste nor Slow. (The idea of upgrading the Air Elementals naturally fell through due to the lack of their external dwelling and the desire to build a Castle in the secondary :))
117 1-4 in the Castle (2 upgraded), Mage Guild and Market in the secondary. The angel external dwelling hasn't been taken, the base is poorly developed, but a bunch of great artifacts on the secondary — I hope for the best...

121 On the secondary I notice a Sword +6, but since I couldn't take it right away (a pack of Unicorns and lots of Harpies), and it's a long run, plus I have a Sword +3 on me, I don't go for it...
125 I give the entire army to the scout hero to take the nearest Dragon Fly Hive... I successfully lose 20 Archers to 4 Wyverns! (:mad: why the hell did I go into the Dragon Fly Hive with Archers??)
127 Everything except the angels is in the castle. 2-4 are upgraded. THE ANGEL EXTERNAL DWELLING STILL HASN'T BEEN TAKEN!! (Since Vale is running around stat boosters and banks on the secondary, and with 20 Archers lost, there's no point even thinking about taking it with the scout hero)
131 Still playing on the hope that the opponent will throw somewhere or that the respawn will pull through
on 13X the hopes vanished like smoke... the opponent broke through the GO... Lots of Wyverns, Several Angels, and lots of Greater Basilisks... THE ANGEL EXTERNAL DWELLING HASN'T BEEN TAKEN!! (:mad: :mad: )
Fire Blast wouldn't have saved the day anymore, but still:
Vale lvl 9 9 7 3 5, skills: Basic Fire (just wouldn't come...) Cloak of Velocity +2
70+ Halberdiers
43 Crossbowmen
6 Champions
7 Royal Griffins
20 Crusaders
4 Wyverns

Vistan lvl 10 4 10 3 4, Mass Slow, Stone Skin, Shield.
43 Greater Basilisks
6 Angels
30 Wyverns (!!)
1 Dragon Fly :)

Well, what can I say... Thanks for the game! :)

Added after 6 minutes
Quite a nice little break with reports after the last 2 pages :)
