28.01.2013 ~no1_knows_me~ (red, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) draw shpilenger (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 1-3-2
Week 1
Shakti with three stacks, near the main there are two Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Fly Hive, a shield behind the trees +3\3, a battle axe behind the gnolls +2... also there is a Dragon Utopia nearby. Took a secondary Castle. Captured an external dwelling of medusas and a portal home. The medusa dwelling fell on day 8, then took a mini Griffin Conservatory, aimed for the +3\3 shield, homes 1-2-3-4 in Citadel plus portal and rings.
Week 2
I take the shield, the Dragon Fly Hive on 6 Wyverns, break back home and run to the strong Griffin Conservatory. I go in without scouting (have mass Haste) - it has 2 angels. Virtually no losses... then I see Kyrre beating on 123 :eek: ГО (50-99 upgraded minotaurs)... ГО fell, but Kyrre ran back (probably to replenish mana) because if she had pushed further, Shakti would have crushed her... I thought about going somewhere in the treasure zone, but ГО is broken through, so I go to the opponent. Blue is being tricky, then Kyrre attacks with 80 mana, Oil and Archery at 80... 16 elves, 3 unicorns, 6 Efreeti, 15 upgraded Liches, Centaurs and Pegasi... stats slightly higher on Shakti, but 15 mana, while I have 3 angels, 146 Troglodytes, 17 upgraded Harpies, 21 Medusas, 6 Wyverns and a couple of Harpies. I approach with everything. I get Oil, but overall not too worried, with 2 Hastes everything should fall - and then I make a fatal mistake :smile33: - for some reason I cast Shield on the angels in the second round, but the Pegasi's cost was increased, and I didn't casually check my mana reserves, as a result I got Oil and 15 Liches just ran around, shooting and throwing Oil and Arrow... in the end mana ran out and the opponent bought his army back, leaving me with 15 Medusas and 50+ Troglodytes...
then we ran around a bit more, traded castles and agreed on a draw :smile01:
thanks for the game, now I'll always be vigilant :smile04:
