29.01.2013 SVAROG (Red, Conflux, Ciele, Ciele) def JustObserver (Blue, Castle, Caitlin, Gelar) 123 2sm4d(3)
We sketched out a quick message; from the towns left: Castle, Conflux, Citadel. Opponent chose Castle, I took Conflux.
At first, I got two weak random drops, then Blue got three weak drops. And on one drop there were three external dwellings of Air Elementals almost right next to the Castle.
111 - I had 1 rest left, Ciele arrives with 4 Air Elementals, and they are built; 10 total from the start. I spread out with 5 heroes, see a Pandora's Box for 50+ Halflings, but blocked by 10+ Medusas on the way to the second week (grass). Money seems to be given out fine, I see useless external dwellings of Ice Elementals, Fire Elementals. Ciele gets Earth Magic right away. I see only one Mercury - that's bad. The respawn is not big. I decide not to test my luck and play on.
112-113 I clear resources, money, Shield +2. 7 heroes. There is an external dwelling of Birds for 100+ Green Dragons.
114- When breaking through the Medusas and Halflings, 5 Air Elementals fell on the battlefield.
115- I take the Pandora's Box for 5000 gold, very good, just as I hoped. 4 heroes are scouring the secondary area in search of Mercury and money! No Mercury! Need 4 more.
116- I take the Castle, build markets in both towns, Ciele gets Intelligence. Almost next to the Castle is a portal with a presumed exit into the treasure zone. Dragon Fly Hive for 50+ Grand Elves.
117- I destroy the Medusa dwelling on 4. I trade resources for Mercury, since I didn't find the precious Mercury flask. I build Birds and buy them out.
121- From a mini-gnome hovel, 3 Water Mills, and trading the remaining resources, I hire a hero and buy 2 Birds and 1 Berserker. I break through the portal guard for 10+ Diamond Golems. There is a Pandora's Box and a Shield +6 for 50+ Royal Griffins, and 2 Pandora's Boxes for 10+ Red Dragons.
122- I break through 50+ Grand Elves for the Dragon Fly Hive - it's maxed out. I came out of there with 4 Birds and 12 Wyverns. Immediately 85 Royal Griffins, in the Pandora's Box 80 Troglodytes. There is a path to Blue's respawn.
123- I head towards Blue, on the way there is a Well. I stop 2 hexes away from Gelar.
Ciele: 1 7 5 4 (120) 4 Birds 12 Wyverns 80 Troglodytes 8 Air Elementals 33 Pixies.
Gelar attacks and immediately resigns. He writes GG. Thanks for the game.
