Reports of online games and their confirmations (Autumn 2011 season).

01.09.2011 R55Max(blue, Swamp, Alkin, Alkin) def Leon_1990(red, Rampart, Ivor, Aenain) 137, 6LM10, 200%.

Didn't want to play this template for a long time, but was persuaded. For a long time (since reading Gomunguls's review) I have often practiced Alkin as a starter, rather than Tazar or Wyst. Got level 2 and a dwelling of lizards. In general, I normally clear a couple of stacks of 50+ zombies and the same amount of 20+ — gain exp. Pick up a pandora's box for 5 coins and build 1,2,6 in the Citadel. Alkin levels up just perfectly.

On day 2 I take a secondary hero and collect coins. Build 1,2,3,5,6 in the Citadel. Run away from the chain, ignore a village at 600MP, run to the teleport. Emerge apparently fine, wait for the army in 2 days, chest like a wheel, but I have half the army :).

Go confidently towards the dungeon opponent, kill a loser with 6 Medusas, roughly 20 Harpies gr. and something else, skip a turn and here's the 1st EPIC - I get killed with a retreat along with half my army (50 lizards, Gnolls and Serpents..... End up at home with 1 Gnoll :)

Read the tavern and see 2 heroes in the red player's visible zone, who emerged while I was hanging around on the main with a Gnoll. Realize that one of them will soon be killed by the same killer computer with 24 Evil Eyes, 10 Medusas, 11 Minotaurs and a good number of Troglodytes along with 26 gr. Harpies, the other I will kill and only Aenain will remain. That's exactly what happens on day 136.

Day 137 — trade almost to zero, buy and skip the turn. On my turn, the red player attacks, I still don't have a spellbook, there's Mass Haste and a shooter for 100. See the army and basically read GG. but it turns out differently... Alkin carries, just awesome. 36 Grand Elves kill 2 Wyverns from a straight line :D After that, nothing stops the melee going one way because Alkin's Gorgons are simply invincible up close))

After the battle I thought I'd easily take down Alkin with Grand Elves, because Leon made a mistake, but it's not that simple. Those same Lizardmen were killing very powerfully (5-7 Grand Elves with a broken one) and the infantry takes 2 turns, not counting the flies standing near the Grand Elves, so practically no options.

Thanks for the game.
