11.02.12 Kilgor (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Albertos (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) SoD, Jebus Cross, 125

I'll write a detailed report tomorrow, I'm very tired, it's already 5 AM.

We chose all restarts + 1 tech re. Didn't look for chocolate, just drew poorly.

111. I take a scout, reveal the main part of the spawn. 2 Hives, 4 external Troglodyte dwellings and that's it... no Griffin Conservatory and normal external dwellings. I break a block of unicorns (9 pcs), lose 20 Troglodytes. I see GO... 30 ANGELS!!!
112 I feast. I find another 2 Dragon Fly Hives, an external market, a Griffin Conservatory.
113 The Griffin Conservatory is a tier one, I eat it. I take a secondary hero, Dungeon. I start building it up. Meanwhile, I also scout 2 Minotaur external dwellings.
114-115 I eat, build up. I scout another Minotaur external dwelling, ve-e-ery far away.
116 I take the first Minotaur external dwelling for 40 Basiliks. I run to the second one.
117 I take the second one (losing 11 Minotaurs of 2 lvl on Sultan Efreets in the process), transfer troops to take the third dwelling. I take it, simultaneously buying Minotaurs from portals, and collect all Troglodyte external dwellings — 6 of them. Total we have: 6 Troglodyte dwellings, 3 Minotaur dwellings, Minotaurs with a portal in Fort in two castles.
121 No money, all resources are spent. Shakti runs to the stable and then gets defeated.
122 34 Minotaurs arrived. I take a Pandora's Box, get 15k experience, achieve Expert Earth.
123 I take 2 Hives, get defeated, run to GO.
124 I take another 1 Hive with weak forces. I transfer everything to Shakti and attack the 30 Angels.... Lost 1 Angel, 180 Troglodytes, 21 Evil Eyes. 40 Minotaurs, 4 Evil Eyes, 18 Troglodytes, and 21 Harpies remain. I take a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Harpies, kill the guard of a Dragon Utopia — 70 Swordsmen.
125 Tazar shows up in the tavern with unreal stats, I realize he found some artifact that gives + to everything, a day ago his stats were much worse. I take a tier two Dragon Utopia... got a lot of punishment (left 15 Harpies, 3 Minotaurs, and 8 Harpies there), none of the artifacts are worthwhile, only the Book of Fire but at least it's something! Plenty of mana but no spells. I see a Castle in the treasure zone, run to it, see Tazar standing at the gates (apparently he was 1 move short of entering it). Taz has superior stats, but 8 mana while I have 120. The armies are roughly equal. In FB, the amount of mana decided it.

Thanks for the game!
