"Newcomer-2013. Winter"

In group D, not a single game has been played. Gentlemen, you were all so eager to join the tournament, and what do I see now? If you don't want to play — I'm waiting for private messages on ICQ, I have plenty of people for replacements.

It hasn't even been a week,

Week 1

Vistan in the tavern with 3 stacks + a few archers from the Castle, roads lead in all directions from the Castle, one of them leads to a secondary swamp, I plan to power-stack lizard troops. Further scouting reveals another swamp secondary (and in the end, all three turned out to be swamp), so I decide not to build up the Castle at all.

At the first swamp respawn from the spawn point, I see 2 conservatories and both exits to the treasure zone, I put flies on speed, upgrade the lizards and build wyverns in the citadel. Running to the second swamp takes longer, so I end up building wyverns there too, not many goodies.

Week 2

I check the nearest conservatory — it's a double, I gather all troops — 8 wyverns, 50 lizards (never upgraded), 30 marksmen, 50 pikemen and I go in. Naturally, I get beaten like a little girl there, only expert armor allows a few marksmen, 20 lizards, and 40 pikemen to survive. Disappointed, I go to hit the second conservatory with upgraded lizards and the remains of the pikemen, I enter carelessly — it turns out to be a double too, only 2 angels survive. Vistan with expert pathfinding goes to break the treasure zone on rocks and immediately sacrifices one angel for a bag of gold.

Week 3

Vistan runs around the rocks with 3 angels and tries to freeload something, until he runs into a couple of beehives, growth arrives, the hives are collected, total wyverns 18, the gold mine is captured, building of angels at home begins + a third swamp secondary is found (missed capturing it by a couple of steps). Vistan with expert logistics and attack starts power-leveling.

Week 4

I enter the Inferno treasure zone, where I'm immediately met by 100+ storm elementals for a pandora (20 crusaders) and 50+ griffins for a +6 shield. Reinforcements arrive, and then — an external dwelling of angels, a beehive (6), pandoras for experience guarded by gorgons and genies, 20 fanatics for cyclopes, a single conservatory, 4th level magic and a library for Rust Dragons, a sword of justice for titans, a couple more experience pandoras with experience guards, and finally a level 2 Dragon Utopia with a red orb and a book of fire, a book of air guarded by archangels, and an external dwelling of angels in the very corner. Everywhere ducks in the citadel, angels in the Castle, income 5700, time to upgrade archangels.

Week 5

By 214 I finish doing everything written above. Then, I gather all the power in the Castle (6 archangels, 4 angels, 38 ducks, and about 50 gnolls for meat, everything else sits in the Castle and doesn't understand why it's even needed in this game) and using fly, I head into the treasure zone where the opponent is roaming. I kill a scout hero, take a beehive, hit the maximum Dragon Utopia (helm and necklace +9 to everything), and set off to finish upgrading the archangels. The opponent sees all this and realizes the hopelessness of his position, types gg and leaves. Thanks for the game.
