22.01.2013 Mizrael (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Oelm (red, Castle, Caitlin, Ivor) 8mm6a 132
We took a restart and got a layout with a Griffin Conservatory near Castle. On the first day, a Pandora's Box behind a pack of wolves gives 60 gr. Troglodytes! On the second day, the Conservatory is a two-spot, gave Harpies and just a few Troglodytes; behind a pack of Monks, Angels without losses get another 80 Troglodytes. There's a View Earth scroll, and Shakti got Earth magic — I'm charging down the road to scout paths to the opponent. I broke through several paths, advanced the Earth magic, and started estimating which way to go based on the mines. Everything pointed to heading into the snow — I broke through there, grabbed a Conflux village, and on day 7 I hit the Dungeon civ's respawn. On 121, I successfully farmed it, the growth went to me, I scouted around, assessed his army, and left Shakti on Angels in the Castle. The civ attacked with 1 Harpie (thinking the Castle was empty) and leveled Shakti's Earth magic, while the hero with the army just ran back and forth aimlessly. I passed the cash to a scout, killed the last hero, Shakti carried the cash further and crashed into a Conflux behind a Pandora's Box with Ice Elementals. Then Catherine showed up and chased off Clavius. Shakti hits the Ice Elementals, I decide to take the Pandora's Box with the scout — it gave 20 Air Elementals, and with all the cash, pops heads toward the opponent, farming Catherine along the way. The Castle turned out to be very close, there was no guard, I took it and went on to look for Ivor. However, the stats look decent, there are good external dwellings visible at the respawn (Pokemons + Archers), and farming him in the Castle might be problematic; additionally, Alamar opens up some view and spots a whole Griffin Conservatory at the opponent's respawn. I immediately decided to scrap the visit and instead went for the Conservatory. The Conservatory is a three-spot, and on 131, with a charge and Stables, Shakti rushes into the treasure zone, where a convenient Dragon Fly Hive, a Pandora's Box, a Collar of +3 Morale/Luck, and a Dragon Utopia are visible — everything can be collected in one day. However, Ivor comes to meet me with all his cash: 5 Angels, 2 Giants, 100+ Pokemons, 49 Arbalists, and 5 Horses. Shakti thought it over... bought what he could and attacked: 5 Angels, 200+ Troglodytes, 49 Evil Eyes, 32 Air Elementals, 10 Minotaurs, 10 Enchanters, and a batch of gr. Harpies. The opponent's Angels hit hard with Wait, but he only had 30 mana, while Shakti doubled to 100 and there was constant recasting of Haste into Slow. When Ivor's mana was almost gone, he went all-in: Haste on the Pokemons and an attack into the Troglodytes, but he couldn't even halve them, and they with Bless almost wiped out the Pokemon stack. The Enchanters cast all sorts of junk (first round Air Shield, okay, but only the Archers lasted one round :), second round Mass Cure on full stacks :)), and in the end, the meat advantage made up for the stat deficit. Thanks for the game.
