20.01.2012 Mizrael(red, Tower, Aine, Jenova) def Psyche_7(blue, Fortress, Bron, Luna) balance 137
We started without restarts surprisingly quickly. I got Jenova, second skill gave Pathfinding - super. On the first week, Naga come out of the Citadel, gave Earth Magic to the main... By the start of the second week, two Griffin Conservatories only gave a path, on the guard of the second I just maxed Earth Magic, then went into the swamp portal, and there was another Griffin Conservatory, a portal to snow, yet another Griffin Conservatory there... On week 2 I put Giants in the castle, gave Jenova Scholar and Fire Magic, even an Armageddon scroll dropped :) In short, the layout was clearly on my side, and when I crushed the opponent's Conflux with 4 Mage Guilds on 137, word of surrender came. Thanks for the game.
P.S. Saves as always in 7z, game video on twitch.tv
Bron came with 3 stacks, secondary Wystan with 2, plus a hero from Conflux. The start was promising, and when I saw Luna in the tavern, I was really happy. The euphoria didn't last long - when I saw the Black Dragons, and the respawn was also inconvenient (I barely got to the secondary hero), but it was already too late (114). On the first week only Wyvern in the Citadel :(. On the second week the running around started, but even so I wasn't falling behind the opponent in number of towns. The other thing is the respawns were all kind of small, and for some reason there were no Conservatories anywhere :confused:.
Only magic could save me, so for the sake of building the Mage Guild fast in the Inferno secondary, I went into Cyclops stockpiles, where I successfully got wiped, but I still had a faint hope for magic... until I built Mage Guild 4 - that was the end. I hadn't gotten such garbage in a long time. Mage Guild 5 I couldn't reach in time, and the opponent's arrival removed all doubts.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. Could I have pulled off / played better here?? (we don't need to talk about the losses to banks :)).
