20.07.11 Piterius (Castle, Loynis, Dessa) def R55Max (Rampart, Elleshar, Elleshar), 8xm12, 135
I had one rest left for the two of us when I got a decent pile of gold and a solid starting army. The respawn was great, got cavalry in the castle, an external dwelling of pikemen and griffins, plus 2 more monks, but I drafted the latter on the second week.
The only road turned out to be an arc around the castle into the very corner of the map, then from that corner upward to the nearest subway—2 days of travel. Eventually, I ran Dessa somewhere around turn 116, got met by Elves, they shot about 15 of my marksmen, so I had to buy my way out.
I'm sitting there in shock, having to run back there again, dammit, cut off from all the tasty prospects! There was another path from that cursed subway, but it only led to dead-end snowfields. After running there by turn 126, I decided to push toward Red anyway, built Angel dwellings at home, while my opponent had already cleared several comps, which was quite disheartening. Plus, three Ramparts on the map demanded a quick resolution.
On turn 131, I take the Hive near the teleport leading to the territory controlled by my opponent. Apparently Red had things to do elsewhere too :).
Then a bunch of skirmishes: I take a Rampart with Dessa, apparently a former comp's, since it's poorly built up, a scout from a lookout post reveals several more directions and a Flax citadel. The Angels still haven't arrived, every turn could be the last, but my opponent hesitates, kills my scouts and takes the army away. I run to the crossroads, where there are 2 unclaimed dwellings, my pegasi count reaches 24, and reinforcements finally arrive in the form of 3 Angels, 20 Mages from the box, 13 Monks, and a few Archers.
Red's main hero shows up—weaker stats, few Elves, 5-9 Cavalry, a stack of Pegasi, Dwarves, and Dendroids, only 5-9 Angels raise concerns, but since the boosted main hero was visible on their 6 single-unit stacks, I attack without much hesitation.
In the tactics phase, I blocked three shooting stacks and managed to shoot down the Angels, Wyverns, and Cavalry before my opponent's 200+ mana took out my shooters ;).
Thanks for an interesting and challenging game!
