26.12.2012 Ayauhteotl (Blue, Citadel, Sorug, Ayn) def Redwhait HP (Red, Castle, Christian, Jellar) Skirmish 135
Opponent used 1 resp, I had nothing left, we started.
Week 1 - Ayn and Gundula arrive. I quickly break through with them into the secondary town, take it, meanwhile the scout runs around collecting resources for the respawn. I upgrade goblins and wolves, take 3 resource mines (except mercury, as per tradition). I run into the might upgrade building, think for a long time about whether to attack the gold mine behind 20+ vampires or not. I decide not to attack. I enter the lookout tower, see that there's a passage behind 20+ demons to the lava, and a bit further a passage behind 20+ vampires to the grass, where Inferno is and 2 Dragon Fly Hives are visible. On 1-1-7 I get 1-2-5 in the fort, and the scout very opportunely finds the wolf nest.
Week 2 - I hire a hero, bring troops to Gundula, so that's 50 upgraded wolves and 70 upgraded goblins (not enough for birds), take the gold mine behind the vampires (28 with haste), move the troops to Ayn, break through both passages into the zones. Demons ~40, almost without losses, but the vampires are almost maxed with haste, leaving 35 wolves and 35 goblins. Ayn learns Air. I take Inferno, build Mage Guild-1 there, restore mana. I break through the prison and the artifact +1 Attack behind 30 basilisks, they give me Kalt lvl 5. Fakes are very fitting. I enter the lookout tower, in the zone on the right (behind 20+ Fire Elementals) I see Mullich. I build Mage Guild-2, there's Lightning Bolt. I hit 90 rags for the Dragon Fly Hives, but there's up to 100 there. I don't go in, bring up 5 upgraded birds, hit 40 Fire Elementals with haste, ride to the opponent. I build nothing except the Mage Guild, save up money. I send Gundula forward for scouting with 1-stacks of fakes. Brissa with 1-stacks of Gremlins attacks Gundula, but miscalculates somewhat, runs away. Then another scout attacks, now Gundula runs away. I ride the main hero to the opponent's castle. Gradually I pull up scouts with magic and build a chain for delivery. The opponent places blocks on the road using scouts with 1-stacks and magic; it turns out he has Ice Bolt, and the scouts kill birds with it in one hit. I don't have much mana anyway, spend archers to preserve more birds. I kill 2 heroes, lose 2 birds.
Week 3 - 10k gold, I'm in no hurry with the delivery, build Mage Guild-3 in Inferno, there's Fireball. I see the opponent's castle with the main hero, there's Jellar with 20+ Arbalests, 20+ Pikemen and 1-stacks and a Citadel. I realize I can't handle it, mana for 2 Lightning Bolts (200 damage). I don't attack the castle, kill 2 more of his scouts with my scout and Ayn. Jellar attacks himself.
Ayn 1-0-6-7(16), Air expertise, Lightning Bolt. 3 1-stacks of birds, 2 stacks of 15 wolves, 2 stacks of 3 fairies.
Jellar 0-0-4-5(50), Water expertise, Ice Bolt, Ring of Cold. 20 Arbalests, 38 Pikemen, 1-stacks of Pikemen.
I kill the Arbalests with Lightning Bolt, all forward. The opponent nearly destroys 1 stack of wolves with Ice Bolt, and corners the Pikemen. On turn 2, I kill 20 Pikemen with Lightning Bolt, and kill almost all the 1-stacks, but the 2nd stack of wolves didn't reach, and predictably got hit by Ice Bolt. I realize that with 3 birds, 6 fairies, and 2 wolves there's nothing to catch here without mana, so I surrender. I buy back in Inferno, build Mage Guild-4. Of course, Fire Shield and Executioner. But now I have Fireball. I bring up troops, attack the castle again. I have 6 birds (3 stacks of 2), 30 wolves, 40 goblins, and fakes. I fly the birds forward, wait with the rest. The opponent kills 2 birds with Ice Bolt, and as expected, corners himself directly into 2 Fireballs.
As it turned out, the opponent miscalculated a bit and lost to a Pandora's Box at the start of week 2.
Thank you for the game.
