Reports of online games and their confirmations (Winter season 2010-11).

Psyche_7(red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Scorpiona(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 134

Gave up the dungeon for the Castle (and a handicap, possibly).

Where to next? ГО - up to 99 black knights (but by the "law of P", on the other side the guard is tougher), and my opponent also had Galtran pop up on week 1. Scary, only Archangels will help against skeletons, so I'm running to another Griffin Conservatory, and the entrance to the subway is nearby, let's scout for now.

...In short, I don't know how, but instead of the Griffin Conservatory on 133 I ended up at the blue player's Castle, capture it just in case and teleport Valeska there. No sign of Galtran nearby, but Shakti is there on a Fairy. I slow the Harpies and chase him away. I sit in the Dungeon to replenish mana.
Shakti showed up (but where is Galtran with the skeletons?) with Storm Elementals and 43 Energy Elementals. Since non-native troops showed up, I bring in some Wiverns and a bit of growth. Sitting in the Castle feels dishonest somehow - I attack and win through sheer numbers.
Thanks for the game!

The underground spawn didn't reveal anything special at first glance, the territory is a small patch of land (who knows why the rest wasn't taken, like a kid teased with speed boots on the playground :D ), in the early days I grabbed my toy the boots, captured a secondary Conflux and two external Fire Dwellings, I never had enough money to build up my native town, so at least I decided to build the portal for elementals. From money structures, only one Crypt turned up so far.
Week two should have started, by my calculations, with 44 Fire Elementals, not bad, but where to go? Couldn't buy everything at the start of the week due to lack of funds, as a result I attacked some Strikers and there were a full 49 of them, they beat up my Energy Elementals, but at least I got the Sword +6... looking for money I attack some Medusas and there are 8 of them, they bit me again...
and instead of a powerful stack I get a measly 24 Elementals :( at the end of the week I finally get the Chain Mail from the Manticores for +4 Attack, and wait for growth to be able to take Nagas.
At the start of week 3 I finally captured a secondary "Stronghold" and finally spotted the Griffin Conservatory in the distance :) and started making plans when I missed how the red hero is standing at the subway entrance just one step away from the Castle, aaaaaa :eek: and I didn't even manage to buy out those measly few troops :)
Shakti is kinda leveled up okay but the lack of an army can't be overcome :cool:

Thanks for the game! :)

P.S. Oh yes, I don't like your skeletons ;)
