Volodymyr(Rampart, Kyrre) def BorzoiD (Fortress, Broghild), Jebus Cross, 133
Full WT
Sold the castle for 7400 and bought the color for 900. 8 heroes scattered, immediately revealed a Dragon Utopia, 2 Griffin Conservatories, a tree, an external dwelling of horses, and 2 wood. I take my turn, check the tavern – heroes are even, lol :)
On day 113, a Griffin Conservatory, lost a horse due to dumbness. On the other side of the respawn, a G.B. was scouted, boots of speed, ring of resistance +1, and a shield +4. By the end of the week, I colored 3 external dwellings of Pegasi, 2 of horses, 2 of wood, 1 of dwarves. Collected artifacts with chumps in another part of the respawn area. Kyrre with Earth, Resistance (pushed in), Armorer.
Entered the center on day 122, through a Dragon Utopia (4 TU all), loot not great, nearby opponent's respawn, scary. Ran into the center of the respawn, took the Ramp, and started slowly feeding. No sign of Broghild, waiting every day. By the end of the week, I gathered 30 swans from 7 trees.
On the third, Broghild appeared 19-20-28-(140) from the loot pile - 62 Monarks, 17 Hydras, 2 Serpents. I pick up 2 TU all, visit the library, and attack him in the castle. Kyrre 28-30-22-(145) 38 Grands, 20 horses, 10 gremlins +60 simple wood elves, 8 Silver Pegasi, 48 swans, 3 Angels. Armageddon follows, I implode for 2.3k. Second round, 7 Monarks remain, and it's GG.
Thanks for the game!
A complete fiasco in the first week - lost twice on days 113 and 115, as a result didn't capture anything except one Pandora's Box for experience.
Basically only started developing from the second week's growth, captured three Hydra dwellings and one Wyvern dwelling, built up my main and second town up to Hydras, cleared several trees, two Dragon Utopias (gave KO and stat boosts).
There was hope the opponent would enter the center late or make a mistake near the exit (scouting showed our GO were nearby), but the miracle didn't happen, Volodya played flawlessly and deservedly won.
Thanks for the game!
