25.04.2013 Roger-ua (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Rockmachine (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3),232.
Surrendered without external dwellings, having revealed the enemy's hydra external dwelling in the first few days. In the first week, I built 12345 in the castle. On day 117, I took a secondary Conflux, on the same day the enemy went behind my lines, killing the scout hero and breaking the chain with a beefier army. I stayed in the secondary, built a Stronghold, bought all the fairies and air elementals. The enemy, having gotten their growth, went to my respawn. I bought what I could in the capital and left a scout hero for defense behind the castle walls. Crag Hack cleared a Sword +2,+2, took an external dwelling of psychos which were used to strengthen. Crag Hack's stats became 12 6 1 1, against 1 6 1 2, but there was little meat for a breakthrough. Finding myself in such a situation for the first time, I didn't know what to do next. Crag Hack gathered and cleared resources, looking for another road to return to the native respawn. Tazar did not attack the capital. He left after capturing my secondary Conflux at the start of week 3. By the end of week 2, I had 3 heroes, the enemy had 2. In week 3, I built Behemoths. Realizing the futility of Crag Hack staying far from the capital, I broke through with losses of 20+ Horned Demons for a Vial of +2 Life and crashed into neutrals on the way home. In week 5, Tazar's stats sharply increased, and the enemy started asking if it was possible to use the Speaker's Hat without building the guild. Having bought all the troops, Crag Hack ran into the treasure zone to seek his chances. In the underground treasure zone, he immediately revealed a Dragon Utopia. After clearing it, he got a Pendant of +6 to all stats and a Shield of +4 to all stats. Crag Hack's stats became higher than Tazar's; the lack of mana and the possible Speaker's Hat were concerning. But the 7-day counter was already ticking, as Tazar took the last secondary. Having gathered 2 Hives for 18 Wyverns and visited the Library, it was time to return. Tazar probably ran off for an artifact. Crag Hack managed to return to the native capital at the end of week 6, having upgraded the remaining 3 Behemoths and replenished mana. In week 7, Tazar arrived and attacked the capital. The final battle took place: Crag Hack 29 20 17 16 (5 Hydras, 18 Wyverns, 19 Birds, 38 Ogres, 70 Orc Chiefs, 108 Wolf Riders, 93 Goblins, tent) 160 mana vs Tazar 25 17 11 10 (36 Wyverns, 20 Mighty Gorgons, 40 Greater Basiliks, 77 Greater Serpent Flies, 81 Gnolls, Fly, tent, ballista) 100 mana. Tazar cast Explosion on the Birds (825 — I now noticed that the +4,+4 hat was probably not equipped, as for an expert it should be 1125), then cast General Haste, the Barbarians charged into attack. Casting Blind on the Flies in the second round, the Barbarians continued the slaughter — Tazar had almost no troops left. Tazar fled, and the enemy surrendered. Replaying the battle by blocking my troops yielded the same result, but the fight was more (with more mana for Tazar, the result could have been different) equal.
Thanks for the game.
