11.11.2012 HellLighT(Red, Necro, Galthran) def R55max(Blue, Castle, Tyris) jebus 147

Long game in 2 sessions, don't remember how many resets we cleared, writing from memory because saves are on another computer, Gosha with 2 stacks, an external drake dwelling nearby, convenient Dragon Fly Hives near the road, a couple of blocks and boots +15% necro for ogres...
Started fairly tempo-wise, but as always not without mistakes, I scouted 2 Dragon Utopias, but decided that getting out was paramount, especially against Castle, 123-4 already there, cleared +6 all, center — Citadel's, started eating whatever I could, opponent wasn't planning to come out... made a serious mistake — since I let Castle sit back on respawn due to lack of magic and control, I should have eaten everything near him, which I didn't do, including leaving a Dragon Utopia. The opponent only got out by the end of the week, but already with Archangels, and went to the neighboring respawn, and also jumped back through a neighboring passage to his own respawn oO. In short, without gaining much advantage except stats, I decided not to push, which I regretted later, wondering how his stats were growing from Dragon Utopias alone. I also went to the remaining Citadel respawn, luckily had plenty of Necros, started necroing on all possible fronts, finding another +10 cloak. The seemingly poor Stronghold respawn eventually fed me three Dragon Utopias (along with what was gathered, an Angel Alliance assembled) and tons of meat for skeletons (which I collected about 1500 in a week), so that the opponent, who showed 20+ Archangels by week 1 day 4, started losing army weight even in the tavern. I found 2 Dimension Door scrolls, built 5 Mage Guilds, and through a wall chained the army back to main, where the opponent had already advanced toward me from the seized center. Got caught out badly, tested him for Hit-and-Run, the Sphere was equipped, put on Bracers and AA +2 speed cloak, and with 2000+ upgraded skeletons got 13 speed on Galthran and native terrain, placed them opposite the Archangels, which moved before the buff took effect, then after removing retaliation struck with a stack of 80 Wyverns and skeletons, leaving only 8 out of a stack of 27 Archangels. Besides those, the opponent had nearly 70 Wyverns and very little meat. Assessing the situation, he surrenders... thanks for the game
