7z(blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Messiah (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4d(3) 136
All 3 respawns (native and secondary) were terrible — small, no money buildings. On the first week I captured both castles. In terms of building order — level 1, 2, 3 in citadel. Secondary Inferno — built pits. I have an idea to demonize on the second week.
On the second week I clear the remaining crumbs of gold and a quest artifact for 40 dendroids, for which Ivor gets 10k experience. I take a minimal Griffin Conservatory. There's nothing left to do on the respawn. The revealed treasure zone is not impressive. I run to the opponent.
126 I break through 40 gorgons guarding the Dragon Fly Hive (it's even strange how it happened without losses) and steal the opponent's mace +4. I attack Valya with 1 angel and single pikemen. She has 100 archers, and I have no spellbook :(. We trade angels, I lose half of my grand elves. I attack the main stack. I kill almost without losses.
131 A fierce fight for the opponent's secondary (he has a double) follows. It's hard to counter Valeska with such archers and 40 mana. But I chase her back and forth. Valya takes all artifacts from the scout hero and heads to my main. Ivor buys the spellbook, builds a castle, brings the remaining meat from Inferno. Defense. The castle worked well, I don't shoot the archers (hoping for surprise, since I had no spellbook in the first battle) and it works. In the last round I finish off the knights with archers and send Valya into oblivion.
The opponent leaves the game and goes offline. Well, let's put it down to him already being late. Thanks for the game.
Thanks for the game! It just so happened that I had to leave. Unfortunately, in this important match..
There was a big advantage in parameters, neither of us had an army, only the castle saved my opponent. He could have calmly continued developing on his territory for another week or two.
