11.6.2013: twaryna (blue, random, Stronghold, Gird, Crag) def wowa (red, random, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) Big Nostalgia 226

that's exactly how it was!
postponed twice, and both times upon resumption I changed my decision about further routes in favor of a more lose one, for which I blame only myself)))):
on turn 131, instead of, after taking the Griffin Conservatory and collecting the hives, building a chain of 10 heroes to buy out from the external tavern in the swamp with diving into the teleport, I went to finish off a dead-end Conflux town, the road to which was blocked on week 2 by a lot of Sultans
as a result, the opponent, after depriving me of a stack of ducks, bought himself out on the map and devoured a corner of the basement, where there was still a Dungeon town, the whirlpool of which was desperately missed in the late game :smile05:
the 2nd time, on turn 211, having 100 mana and Implosion with an Earth Sphere, I wanted to jump through the wells straight at Crag to my main (given to him specially before that to lure him))) but as we continued, I decided to try my luck in Dragon Utopias to somehow compensate for the glaring deficit in combat parameters and, most importantly, in Knowledge, so necessary for the final (if I had been blue, I would have met Crag in the town immediately after getting Implosion — this goes to the question of color advantage))) and as a result I devoured about 5 or 6 utopias, but they only gave something decent at the very end, when Crag had acquired the Red Orb, which is undeniable(((
there was also a moment when I stole the blue utopia right from under their nose in the center, I could have attacked right away with first speed, and if not win, then at least trade blows, I had enough mana for a couple of Implosions dealing 3K damage each))))
but in the end a natural outcome — the map was rich and the blues found everything they needed, and by the end Crag’s parameters were still 10-15 higher, except for SP, which was useless against the orb

GG, huge thanks to my opponent for the game in particular and for popularizing Heroes in general! :smile20: and good luck in the final part of the tournament :)
