M-200% No. 6

21.12.2012 LSM (red, random, Tower, Theodorus, Alagar) def twaryna (blue, random, Dungeon, Gunnar, Galtran) 2sm2s, 134
Opp takes rest 111, I take rest 112. Started.
111 Two heroes, Alagar in the tavern. Secondary is herbs. Got art "no morale" - good. I like the layout.
112 I buy Alagar. Clearing a path to the secondary - barb. Speed boots lie behind the gargoyle lot - very good. I take the secondary, upgrade the Gremlin homes.
113 I pick up the boots. Offered intelligence - I take it. Gathering resources and gold.
114 I scout the lookout point at the secondary. The passage to the opp's main is guarded by a horde of upgraded Eyes and right there is the exit to the opp's treasure zone - a stack of Genies.
115 I take the Crypt and then comes the loss of losses. I accidentally attack the Genie stack and naturally get my ass kicked and flee. The prospects are like the balloon from the joke.
116-117 Gathering gold and ultimately 123 in the castle. Decided to build a castle instead of Mages. Because of the hero's wipe, I couldn't build the Mages.
At respawn there are two Gremlin external dwellings (both painted), a Dwarf Cottage, a couple of Naga Banks, 4 Mills, and as many as 3 external Markets. Opp scouts with Galtran - the balloon's prospects are getting closer and closer.
121 I take two attacks for Alagar.
122 I take the Dwarf Cottage, get Earth. Basically, there's nothing left to lose in the game, I take a Scholar - OMG, Logistics :)
123 I go into the treasure zone with a Gold Mine. I take a hat +2, a morale art. I refuse Air because I need to have time to expert Earth for the Nagas and Logistics. Alagar is being leveled for Knowledge - I don't like this.
124 I take the Medusa dwelling, advance Earth. I head to the Gold Mine.
125 I take the Gold Mine.
126 I'm standing at a Pandora's Box behind a lot of upgraded Dendroids.
127 In the Pandora's Box is 5K experience - they expert Earth, advance Logistics. I get smashed by Minotaurs and go to a Naga Bank. At home 123456 in the castle.
131 Naga Bank - 2 with Gargoyles each. Second Naga Bank - 4 with Gargoyles each. Expert Logistics, Advanced Intelligence.
132 I stand on the Genies at the passage to the opp's main. I pretend that I'm going to break through the Eye and take his castle, while actually I want to go into his treasure zone, replenish mana in the Well, take the Arena and the Artifact Market, because I have nothing for stats at all.
The decision was not easy. The chance of getting caught up in a massacre was high, but I decided I had to take the risk, otherwise it would be really bad against Galtran.
As expected, the opp breaks through the horde of Eyes and attacks me. No Angels, no Scorpicore, no Cape of Speed, no Shackles - from the army: 220 Skeletons, 10 Minotaurs, 11 Harpies, 38 upgraded Eyes, and 16 Medusas. I hit with Ice Bolt for 200 and buy back. The opp's stats are slightly lower than mine, mana is also a bit lower, but he has one Speed.
133 I buy back at the secondary. I dump all resources, upgrade Nagas. I take Sorcery, pull the army from around the corner and attack.
We exchange magic, my Bolt hits a little harder than the opp's Bolt, and besides, he's under Oil. Eventually, the opp buys back with 60 Skeletons, 5 Medusas, and 19 Eyes, leaving me no Mages or Gremlins.
134 I burn the opp's empty central castle. I sit in it and gg.
Thanks for the game.
