(PReDS, red, Tower, Aine, Alkin) def d-neez (blue, Barbarian, Kragg, Kragg), Diamond, 145.
My opponent surprised me by choosing a Barbarian from the trio of Swamp - Barbarian - Tower. I thought about it and decided to practice with the Tower one more time. The distribution was great: either an impenetrable block or a one-sided advantage – I struggled with them throughout the game. Control at 4 minutes didn't go well with the constant need to plug unnecessary exits with scouts; moreover, one scout was on the computer’s territory, so I constantly had to buy more. As a result, I discovered 2 Dragon Utopias, an external dwelling for Angels, and boots after Pegasi (the second one already had 100+, because there were a lot of small items nearby). In the end, I took the first Dragon Utopia only at level 141, but there I immediately got КЗ to Expert Earth and +4 to everything. There are already many Castles and villages, so I quickly took two more Dragon Utopias, picked up +5 and +3 to everything in treasures, and started thinking about where the blue player is. Then I spotted his scout, and apparently due to lack of time, his starting Castle was empty, so my scout calmly ran into it. He killed a couple of scouts hanging around, revealed Kragg with a huge amount of resources, made sure that there was no Chuppy, and Alkin settled in the Castle. Kragg attacked; he has much more units, but much lower stats (there wasn't a single Dragon Utopia) - so despite mass haste and cloak of defiance, Alkin won.
Thank you for the game.
I confirm. I chose Barbarians because I was tired of playing as Swamp, and I have almost no experience with Tower.) The distribution was also good, except that I didn’t find a single Dragon Utopia during the entire game. :smile18: In the first week, I saw 3 cans, 4 clues, built bears in the Citadel, took Pandor on 60 wolves, and had an external market. In the second-third week, I collected clues, cans, and villages; fortunately, the computers weren't interfering at all. I accumulated a lot of native meat + 9 hives with 60 Vivs, 9 Angels from 4 cans, tactics + mass haste + cloak of defiance; I thought, "There is no one equal to me." :smile19: But in the fourth week, Alkin's stats suddenly jumped up, and the lack of meat did not prevent him from winning the final battle in my Castle. It would be different in the field, but Alkin with full control, Kragg would never catch up while the opponent ate away at the rest of the map, becoming stronger and stronger. gg, Thank you for the interesting game!
