1.02.2012 HellLighT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Shamys (red, Tant, Tant) 2sm4d(3) 137

Opponent used all restarts, I still had a couple left. The draw wasn't great... Shakti with 2 stacks in the tavern, nothing decent, no Observatory, no external dwellings visible, but there was room to expand and a starting artifact Ring +1 Attack +1 Defense. On the second turn I spotted a Dragon Fly Hive and 2 Griffin Conservatories, slow guards on secondary mines... decided to play. Both secondary mines turned out to be 3-4 days away, Inferno in the underground and Castle on an adjacent zone where another Griffin Conservatory was visible, the only decent external dwelling of Manticores I only saw on the second week, due to terrible terrain and lack of scouting... the first week I peacefully cleared all 3 respawns, by day 117 built 1-6 in the Citadel, checked 2 Griffin Conservatories - a double and 3-4, was afraid to go in without oil, spent the entire second week idling and leveling Shakti, by the third week had Earth expertise, but Slow only appeared in Inferno and thank god for that :) on the third week I cleared all 3 Griffin Conservatories and 3 Dragon Fly Hives, getting a total of 22 Wyverns and 9 Angels, decided to immediately go for ГО, 100+ spawns, break through without losses and capture the opponent's main with a scout hero on the last move. On day 137 the opponent recaptures his castle and sits in it after killing my scout hero, in battle I managed to notice stats 5 3 7 7 and 8 mana against my 9 9 4 5, realizing that his mana wouldn't regenerate before my turn, I attack fearlessly. FB - 20 Liches, 350 Skeletons, 10 Horses, 3 Wyverns, 6 Angels and 18 Vampires against 9 Angels, 14 Scorpicores, 22 Wyverns, 13 Minotaur Kings, 18 Dullahans and 100+ Trog's. With Tactics, casting Oil immediately, I fly all units into the enemy, instantly killing 5 Angels and 20 Liches, the opponent casts Mass Haste (surprising me quite a bit) but doesn't even kill the Wyverns, the opponent doesn't have enough mana to cast the next Slow, the battle's outcome is predetermined. Thanks for the game
