27.11.12 OUTLAW (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre/Gunnar) def Amiloo (blue, Inferno, Calh, Moandor), 8MM6a, 1-2-6
We started right away. As a continuation of my struggles with the internet, we played the 1st week with constant disconnects and maximum nerve-fraying... Because of that, I played the 1st week clumsily and unfocused. Nonetheless, Griffins were built in the castle, I took a Castle from my computer with 1K income and 1-4 building. I stayed there overnight with both daddies on 117. On 121 I set up stables and off we went. Kyrre by that time already had Expert Logistics, Gunner had Pathfinding. The start of the 2nd week was marked by continued disconnects and lag. I looted a Fly scroll while gathering wood (freebie, sir), a bit later — a Resurrection scroll. Kyrre has Earth magic. We took a break, during which the internet recovered, and we continued. I was planning to build a lookout tower, but after scouting the only Griffin Conservatory (tier 3), I decided not to lose momentum and take it. So — I dumped all accumulated resources on 2 markets, buying gold. Before that, I picked up a sword (+2/+2 att/def) from the wood and visited +1 defense. I assault the tier 3 — take it fairly easily, even though I have neither Offense nor Defense. I plan to push into the revealed center for the artifact +3/+3 power/knowledge, breaking the underground passage to my native treasure zone for scouting with Gunnar along the way. But on my turn, blues appeared in the center, taking the coveted artifact and revealing 20-49 demons and a horde of skeletons. The opponent for some reason levels up daddy (Moandor, although for most of the game I thought it would be the once-revealed Tazar), while the gold remains with zero-level Nimuss. I take curiosities at home for 8 vives. I burst into the center with Kyrre, picking up curiosities (8) along the way, and Gunnar, who took the army (3 angels, 1+1+14 vives, 5 unicorns, and 23 Grand Elves), first attacks Nimuss (1+1+1+1+1+160+ skeletons + 38 demons), and then gets to Moandor. Capitulation.
Post-mortem revealed that blues had 2 Dragon Utopias scouted (versus 1 for me) and decent room for active play — they came to the center in vain, where besides 1 Hive there was nothing.
Thanks for the game and patience!!
