01.03.2012 d-neez (red, random, Castle, random, Sir Mullich, Tiraxus) def HellLighT (blue, random, Dungeon, random, Geon, Gervulf) Cross 144.

We started after a couple of restarts. The start was very sluggish, archers were not built, no freebies nearby, a bunch of shooter guards, 5 days - 5 heroes, barely enough gold and resources for the next building each day, but on 117 I finally get Cavaliers up in the Fort + a Pandora's Box with 90 Halberdiers, and 2 Griffin Conservatories are revealed deep in the respawn off-road. At the start of the second week I take a secondary - Tower - a mini-treasure, nothing to do there, so I turn around and run for 2 days to a teleporter to another secondary, grabbing an external dwelling of Monks along the way. 124 first encounter with the opponent, he gives me a Pit Fiend, I scout his Necro-secondary with my scout, but it's quite far down a corridor, I grab 3 treasure chests nearby for 20-49 Elves and aim for the Pandora's Box with Air Elementals, there are exactly 99 of them, but the box is empty (I split back home, because there's nowhere to go except the treasure, I decide on the third week with growth to take both conservatories and then into the treasure for Dragon Fly Hives. Both conservatories turned out to be tier 1 units ( 135 I run to the portal into the treasure for 50-99 Ogres, along the way I take a Medusa shack at 8 and I see the opponent breaking his passage into the same treasure and setting up at the run start on 28 Minotaurs next to my exit from the portal. I beat the Ogres, from the other side the Griffins, and attack Gervulf, losing a few Minotaurs and my archers getting fairly chewed up by the ballista, the opponent buys back, next to me is a Pit Fiend with meat, I attack - 31 Evil Eyes, a hundred Troglodytes and small fry, expert Tactics - mass Haste, I kill almost everything, again losing a few archers, the opponent buys back again. Until 142 I run around 2 treasures looking for Hives, I eat 2 Dragon Fly Hives totaling 20 Wyverns, and on the last turn I manage to jump into a portal onto the road to another treasure, and I see Gervulf running out with a dozen upgraded Cats, heading to the same treasure as me, only off-road, next to him again a Pit Fiend with meat. On my turn I see that I am 1 step short of reaching Gervulf, but there's a Stable along the way, through it I get caught again at the run start, another buyback with 2 Cats, I no longer have enough moves for the Pit Fiend. On his turn the opponent brings meat to Gervulf, who was bought back in the Necro-secondary. FB: Tiraxus 13 6 7 8(32) 2 Angels, 11 Cavaliers, 20 Wyverns, 31 Crusaders, 21 Monks, 47 Archers, and 130 Halberdiers. Gervulf 8 12 8 5(100) 2 Cats, 30 Minotaurs, 7 Evil Eyes, 38 Troglodytes, and a Harpy. A few rounds and the opponent capitulates, thanks for the game!
