3.01.2011 Vladimir (Blue, Rampart, Kyrie, Kyrie) Kleveta (Red, Castle, Veleska, Veleska) 2sm4d(3)
First week: Lucky stable centaurs, total: Kyrie – 50 cent. 11 archers, 22 imps. Can't get to the sawmill, decent defense, and the area is rich with 5-6 treasure chests, Barding of Speed, Magic Spring, and scattered piles. Felt sorry for the army, decided to go around, looked from the observation tower, should have enough wood for the first week. On day 7, after minor skirmishes, reached a dead end, luckily ran into a stable along the way. Building almost without problems, week 1: Town Hall, Castle, and up to level 4 (only had cent.). 2nd week: upgraded archers, pegasi, magic, market, forge… On day 4 of week 2, returned to the castle and bought archers, pegasi, cent. in two batches, between purchases captured Shield +4. Then either leveling: arena, academy, and capturing Sword +2, +2, but there's a horde of archers, which means losses, or the rich sawmill. Leaned toward the sawmill – rich and no losses. Opponent was clearly outpacing me (turns were quite long), if not in building, then in map exploration and resources. But unexpectedly he decided to surrender, having lost his army. Tried to talk him out of it – he didn't agree. Kyrie: level 6, 2, 10, 2, 4, expert: Archery, Logistics, 1st Wisdom. Losses: 22 imps (due to my own stupidity) and 15 cent. Thanks for the game! P.S. Ran around solo for another week. No problems: Capitol, dragons, and another Rampart. Lucky map for me.
Well, I've lost my "online virginity". In the first week, horses in the fort (1 money building at my native resp + was pushing toward the mine), Barbarian secondary hero. Wanted to move to the ranged units, but regretted the gold (horses).
Due to inability to calculate battles, I lost half the marksmen.
Morale on wolf blockers killed 1 horse.
In the second week, took a Rampart village. Then, out of stupidity, lost all the horse growth :( trying to break into the cellar.
In the end, by day 131, no army for the GG, no gold to buy growth, total U.G.
Valya, I think, level 8. Had a teleport to the opponent, but the guard was over a hundred gargoyles.
Otherwise, not bad, 2 Griffin Conservatories nearby and a Dragon Utopia close by.
Learning and learning...) Thanks for the game
PS: Strange that the opp didn't upgrade the elves
