The resource distribution was more than excellent. He also placed a scouting unit to provide vision for one day, secured a good portion of the resource spawn, and took the wood mine without any guards. That's great for the Swamp player! We're playing. A good hero composition: Enova, Grindan, Aenain, Adela, Ivor, etc. On day 3, I had over 10k gold. On day 4, I built a Castle, but there were no crystals. I was planning to take them and grab a couple of resource nodes with outposts, without going for secondary castles. From my scouting unit, I saw that the Swamp player was moving units around the map on harpies. Then, one of them ran past my main castle and revealed my scouting unit and my entire resource spawn. We chatted on ICQ, and he was having a tough time, while I was doing well. We agreed that it was a technical loss.
Thanks for the game, please be more careful in the future.
I gave up Wistan with two stacks. I didn't take the 1/1/1 resource spawn; I saw two gnoll dens and an arena. The resource spawn was very poor. On day 111, I broke through the arena, but I didn't have enough money even for 5 heroes. On day 112, I defended against the gnolls and discovered another den. On day 113, I broke through the skeletons guarding the scroll of summoning a water elemental, and I sent the army to the Castle where Bron was going to break through the imps. A very stupid mistake on my part, giving away the troglodytes. On day 114, things were bad; I had no money, and the Castle was empty. Then, for some reason, I realized that my main castle was guarding the passage, and I moved Erdamon to the scouting unit. I realized that it was game over only after my opponent told me. I'm a noob.
