Favorites in battle! - 5 The Battle of Favorites! - 5

18.12.12. numOne (red, Inferno, Calh, Gundula) def Piterius (blue, Castle, Valeska, Kirry), 2SM4d(3), 137.

Both were given 2 secondary towns; the opponent painted theirs on the first turn, I only the same-faction one. A block on the road prevented me from maneuvering properly, but I gained momentum on the second turn: plenty of money buildings, enhanced horn cutting, sword +6, 2 cons (3+2), several heroes leveling up at once; I slotted GM4, and Gundula happened to be running past — she learned Armageddon and Town Portal — awesome! I could have replenished mana and gone for ГО, but I somehow dawdled and chose the treasure zone in the basement — my own secondary town was there, by the way, already painted. I fought it hoping to buy back, but forgot that the tavern wasn't built there...:smile27:, had to buy back in the capital and on 127 catch +2 to CS in the castle and near it, once again positioning for a fight.
On 131 another cons 3, treasure zone, Hive on 8, box with 15k exp. Shiva, with exp scouting, spotted 2 Dragon Utopia and the university — I'm rushing there! Right then the opponent appears from the other side of the utopias. I take the 2-spot, got a sword +5 to all, red orb, position near the second one, but Kirya snatched it right from under my nose. I attack her, just fought and killed 2 angels, losing 3, Piterius buys back... University, Town Portal to the capital, replenish mana, move slightly to cut some more horns and take a Hive (4) aside; on 137 I'm near ГО with greater ifrits, opponent flies over ГО, attacks and catches Armageddon — ГГ.:smile51:

Thanks for the game!
Yes, that happened. Snatched a Dragon Utopia from under your nose — minimal, but with wings. Bought back for 17k:p. Then took another one, and on 137 went into the treasure zone of yet another, but then the opponent appeared near ГО with ifrits. Naively thought I was positioned for acceleration... even put on bracers)) which I paid for.
Kirry had boots and gloves on wings; perhaps I should have run around blowing up mosques, but after uncovering the map, I saw that it was given in one direction.
Thx for the game.
