We agreed to play until 2 wins, Panic, my Dungeon against his (Conflux, Barbarian, Inferno, Tower, Fortress)
Van took 2 resets
medium roads
On game 1, many refugee camps, a Stable, 2 Crypts, several upgrade structures, external dwelling of Medusas, Griffin Conservatory 1, Crag Hack nekrolled a little, home Minotaurs in the Citadel, Shakti got Earth and Log.
On game 2, Griffin Conservatory 2, Pandora's Box for 5k XP, 2 Naga Banks, secondary Necromancy, several upgrade structures, Crag Hack nekrolled only 185 Skeletons, Shakti took the Elven village from the reds, wanted to build a Mage Guild there, but Van preemptively built a Tavern in it on his turn.
131 in the Mage Guild, much-needed Slow, secondary Necromancy with Skeleton Transformer,
132 secondary Conflux, 265 Skeletons
133 Dermit discovered Xsi on the road with Angels and Phoenixes, Shakti ran up, -5 Phoenixes in exchange for 10 Eyes and ransom
134 all the meat from 5 castles went to the transformer, resulting in 385 Skeletons, -2 scout heroes, Xsi in the castle, I didn't dare to attack;
On his turn, Xsi attacks himself, a very tough Final Battle, 580 Skeletons, 80 mana, Archer 4/110, oil — against my 24 mana, oil. I ran out of mana, thought it was under Slow, but the hasted Skeletons would kill everyone, lucky that his stats weren't low + his parameters were slightly higher, 210 Skeletons survived.
135 Dermit with the Archer, 100 Skeletons, finished off the single Faeries in the castle.
Thanks for the interesting game.
