“Summer 2013” experimental season. Online ranked games (reports, discussions).

06/17/2013 Gomunguls (Red, random, Inferno, Pyra, Moandar) def. Pit for LM (Blue, random, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) balance, 1.2.3

After one restart, the game started. The initial setup seemed decent – the castle had a couple of treasure chests, a couple of crypts, and a couple of piles of gold. I immediately took my secondary town. There were no roads to the second town, though. Oh well, I played on, maybe it wasn't a mistake. By the middle of the week, I made my way through the wilderness to the lava fields. There, I found a group of lizards guarding Pandora. I attacked, knowing it would be 5k experience, but it turned out there were a lot of them – over 40, half of them upgraded. We defeated them, but that opened up the gold mine. Next, I cleared the second passage, the one leading to the stone resource, again with lizards, now upgraded. I attacked with 2 Vivs and some single units. It turned out there were a lot of them again, 30, and one of the Vivs was killed. On day 117, I took the barbarian town. I built up to level 1-3, and 6 in the citadel.
On day 121, I captured a cloak that gave +2+2 magic resistance, and Tazar took over the well. On day 122, I gathered everything I could, replenished my mana, bought a book, and cleared the portal to the center. The overview showed me where to go. The opponent seemed quite far away… However, Moandar can cover half the map through the wilderness. It became clear that I wouldn't make it to the treasure in time. I grabbed Pandora for 5k experience and attacked, not really expecting much. Tazar is well-leveled, but I didn't have any arguments against the archer on level 70 :mad:. I don't have enough troops…
Thank you for the game.
