13.09.2012 Stryfe (red, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def theShevanesian (blue, rampart, Kyrre, Jenova) mini-nostalgia, 146
We started immediately without restarts. My computer opponents were necropolis, dungeon, and conflux; my opponent's were castle, inferno, and stronghold. On the first week, I picked up 3 gnoll huts on my native respawn, 2 lizard dens, a maxed skeleton transformer, and a 20-dwarf dwelling. On the conflux computer's respawn, I cleared a dwarf dwelling-15, where I had a very tough time — I lost 1 drake and many gnolls there, and then captured the computer's castle. On my main, I also found a hydra dwelling, but it was guarded by 20-49 minotaurs, so I was afraid to go for it in the first week (I took it at the start of the second week). At home, I built hydras in the castle with 1000. I didn't make it to the other computers — the roads were very long, and I was mostly just gathering gold and resources.
On the second week, I captured the Boots of Speed, the witch hut gave logistics, and I ran all my scouts through it and the stables (Tazar already had it along with earth magic) and went to take the dungeon computer's castle and then the scouted Griffin Conservatory. This turned out to be a big mistake, because I had to take a long detour to its castle, and there was no short road back to the conservatory. So I basically lost a week of development. But at the same time, the found external market helped me build birds in the conflux's citadel, and in the dungeon, manticores and 2k were already built.
At the start of the third week, I finally took the conservatory, which turned out to be maximum-level, and through the stables I ran my main into the dungeon's treasure zone. There, I took a Dragon Fly Hive, 10k experience, and, most importantly, all the air elementals from a Pandora's Box! Plans changed — now I decided to jump straight from this treasure zone into the central zone to get there as early as possible, and I didn't really want to beat my own ГО — it was 5+ faerie dragons. In the end, I took a Dragon Utopia in the treasure with Boots of Speed as the useful item, a couple more hives, and portal-ed into the center when week 4 was already underway. But I didn't stay there alone for long, and soon ran into Jenova, who had managed to gather a decent number of demons — nearly 190. But I had to attack her anyway, especially since by this moment I also had a good army — 10 chaos hydras, 40 monarchs, 20 psychics, 9 birds, and 4 angels. In the end, I fled the battlefield with 1 hydra and archers, leaving my opponent with 12 demons. The next day, after replenishing mana, I bought everything I could (leaving only the first-level scout heroes for conversion into skeletons) and portal-ed onto the opponent's territory and attacked the castle, where Jenova was sitting with 1 centaur. All the artifacts were on her, and my opponent decided not to continue. 1-0
19.09.2012 Stryfe (blue, conflux, Monere, Neela) def theShevanesian (red, castle, Caitlin, Vidomina) panic, 124
I drew a decent pair for this template. From the start, Neela came, and I decided to make her my main. On the first week, I captured a secondary necropolis, an external air elemental dwelling, and built birds in the fort (though for that I had to clear almost all the gold piles that were in sight). On the respawn, I found a conservatory 2-4. I took it on day 123 with the loss of 2 psychics, water elementals, and a few air elementals (it turned out to be 3 angels). Then the scout heroes broke through to the next zone, where monks took out 1 of my birds. The next day, I met Vidomina there, who had 3 angels, 260+ skeletons, and various other small fry. I attacked, and the final battle was decided by morale (-2 for my opponent and +1 for me) and Neela's stats (+2+2 sword, +5 shield, and a +1+1 ring from the start). 2-0
Thanks for the games!
