Double Elimination Chamber

Medium_HP (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Zubin) def FireToSky (red, Rampart, Aeris, Solmyr), 8mm6a, full, 216

Built horses first with Castle, head, and external dwelling of archers; on the second turn took 6 Angels, 20 Dwarves, Shield +3+3 and a small axe; sent 2 Angels to break through to the corner village; with the rest moved to the center and started "pressuring" the reds hoping things were bad for them, since their gold kept showing low; Angels started spawning at home. They accepted on turn 131 with full buying, upgrades, 5 Angels, Light Magic with Spell Power 11 and bracers; Katya died and gave up artifacts, but by then I had already decided to switch to Zubin, who had picked up good skills. Then Solmyr went to finish with 4 Angels, but while he was moving, I already found something to meet him; he bought back with 1 Angel, killing 2 of mine and the remaining shooters. After that, we mostly mooshed remotely; got lucky with the corner village — Rampart; built a chain there, Portal on the second try, then Explosion and Dimension Door; took the blue computer — Castle, built Angels there, took Griffin Conservatory 3+3. At the end of the fourth, Solmyr jumped into the starting area, killed Luna there, traded a dozen Dwarves for 1 of my Angels, took the spawn, but his army was still weaker all game. Then Solmyr ran away, and I retook the starting area. At the start of the fifth, when most of the map had been eaten by joint efforts, a treasure zone with Pendant of Free Will, Boots of Speed, and +1 Speed appeared; I was just about to take it when Solmyr crept up to the starting area and hid in the elevator, apparently planning to attack.
I could have gone for the Pendant of Free Will or Speed and returned, but I decided to attack anyway, in case he ran. The final fight after Solmyr's Armageddon came down to a showdown between my 15 Archangels under Anti-Magic and summoned Fire Elementals, which seemed to appear 160+ at a time. I really regretted not equipping the Blackshard of the Dead Knight; Blind would have easily solved it, but without it, I had to struggle; in the end, the chain helped, killing the remnants of one Fire Elemental stack and weakening the second to the condition needed for the Archangels to strike.

Thanks for the game.
