"Новичок-2012. Winter"

2.03.2012 Zzzloi (red, Stronghold, Gurnison, Gurnison) def gnoll(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2cm4d3 133

started without rests, respawn was decent, although there were only 2 external dwellings of ogres, which we never got around to, and a wolf external dwelling. broke through to a secondary — Rampart, next to it 3 crypts, took it poorly, lost a lot of army. attacked a group of vampires, freed Zydar lvl 10 with expert fire, but from the entire first week's army only a bear remained. on the 2nd I took another Rampart, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, was thinking of going into the treasure zone, but then the opponent runs over and stands next to my main on 127. on 131 I can't attack him, but I can't leave the castle either. so Gurni wastes a turn sitting in the castle (though I built Valhalla and the Mage Guild, bought a spell book, Gurni got mass slow) during this time the shooter with archery broke the harpies and took a cloak of +2 knowledge and power and passed it to a scout hero, he runs to deliver it, but runs into a miner, he has expert tactics. but then the opponent blundered a bit, started killing pixies, leaving the centaur — the turn passed to me and the scout hero managed to escape, delivering the cloak to Gurni (which turned out to be very helpful in the end, because he only had 1 knowledge) the opponent brings growth, killing almost all my scout heroes, captures the Rampart. I run at him but am a few move points short (forgot to haste Gurni) the opponent sits in the Rampart, building a Citadel. I attack with Gurni lvl 10 (15,5,5 60 mana) 5 bears, 14 Wyverns, 11 birds, and meat. Miner lvl 12 (9,10,3 60 mana) 1 angel, 6 manticores, 26 Evil Eyes, 14 greater medusae, 79 Troglodytes. we had a long shootout with bows and shooters, the meat advantage ultimately decided it. The opponent had too few Troglodytes, didn't understand why he rushed at me.
Thanks for the game!
