31.08.2012 Ayauhteotl (Red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Sanin (Blue, Rampart, Kairi, Tamika) Panic 134

An excellent start. Artifact of necklace of swiftness, 100+ troglodytes. Huge respawn, there's a minotaur hideout (behind arbalester huts), harpies and troglodytes, and several upgrade structures. But some shortage of gold.
By day 1-1-7, homes 1-5 in the citadel, Shakti with expert attack and tactics, plus Earth Magic was offered. At the end of the week, I run him through the upgrade structures. I've taken the Necropolis secondary town, the minotaur hideout, and built a portal. Meanwhile, other heroes are earning money for purchases.
On day 1-2-2, 20 gr minotaurs and meat shield. I find a Slow scroll. During the second week, I capture another 3-4 towns, block the entrance to the treasure zone with 5-9 arch devils or 20-49 scorpicores. Shakti spots a Griffin Conservatory 3-4. On day 1-2-7, he's a couple of tiles short of reaching it. I drop his army off, take the Naga Bank and a quest artifact for 50 water elementals with other heroes. On day 1-3-1, I bring the troops, Shakti takes the Griffin Conservatory, it turns out to be level 3. And he heads to the treasure zone, turning in the quest artifact for 10k experience on the way. Rare luck, I was given Logistics.
On day 1-3-2, I see movement of the opponent at the edge of the view. I break into the treasure zone through 25 scorpicores, positioning Shakti so that it's convenient to get defeated if needed, while the rest scout. 2 Dragon Fly Hives are fairly close. On day 1-3-3, the opponent is within reach. I decide to have Shakti get defeated, buy him at the nearest town to the opponent, and attack. But first, take the 2 Dragon Fly Hives with scouts. First Hive gives 10+ champions, mini. I take it without losses. Then I play just extraordinarily brilliantly. I attack 20-49 zealots, 3 stacks of 10. I split the angels into 3 slots beforehand, and they block them perfectly. It ends up minus one angel because the swift zealots hit very hard in melee, and they all reached the single angel, and the stats were nothing special. I take the Hive without losses, pre-mini. That's 10 Wyverns. Not exactly thrilling, but oh well. I approach with a third hero to transport the army, I move away to transfer it, and it turns out the army remained at the Hive, but I suspect the "transfer artifacts" button was pressed twice. Now I can't reach the opponent; if Shakti gets defeated, there's no way to bring the army. Sad.
The next turn, the opponent is again within reach and heads toward me. I assess the army and stats, just in case I bring medusae and harpies, and attack. His stats are slightly worse, army: 150 gr skeletons, 8 Horned Demons, 20+ Grand Elves, and miscellaneous. I have an advantage in meat, stats, and magic, and I win.

Thanks for the game.
