group "G" 30.06.2013 The_ (red, necromancy, random, Charney, Charney, Luna, Striker) def amigo-sasha (blue, Rampart, Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 211.

We each took two towns.
Charney appeared, which was already nice, I scouted two home Griffin Conservatories, I have Luna - so I play. As it turned out later, there were only two roads (to the ГО and to a secondary town (Conflux)), and I never found the second secondary town until the end of the game. In the end, zero gold, no money to buy troops, Charney's expert Necromancy only leveled up towards the end of the second week, so for the first two weeks I was running around and grieving, hoping that the secondary towns were far apart and there would be no early encounter. In two weeks, I managed to place horses in the Citadel on the first week; I simply didn't have the money for a marketplace. Luna was very helpful at the start, burning everything in her path, but as a downside - I couldn't raise many undead. On the second week, I only built the Castle and barely bought horses and liches.

On the third week, things picked up a lot, I already had a cape, I went into the treasure zone, took 5 Dragon Fly Hives there, freed Striker level 10 from a prison, Charney ate two Pandora's Boxes for 15k experience each, great leveling, Earth, Attack, Armor, Air; too bad I never got Logistics until the end of the game (Resistance and Artillery messed things up a bit). 5 Impiatz [Onager?], in the end from a measly 200 bones I got 700. I took a Dragon Utopia, then a second one - Captain's Hat, stat boosters, Boots of Levitation; useful stuff included 80k gold, Shield +4, Plate Armor +12, Tome of Air; overall not amazing, but acceptable. The home treasure zone was generous, I found a dragon dwelling and placed them in the Castle, finally remembered about the home Griffin Conservatories, cleared them, doubled my mana, collected conservatory troops 3+3. My army was 6 dragons, 6 angels, 36 ducks, nearly 30 liches, 16 horses, 1k skeletons, a chain of almost 2k.

On 147, Ivor breaks through the double ГО, comes to me underground and meets Charney with all my might - he decides to run back. The entire army goes to the castle via chain, Ivor stays on 7 pegasi, with all the artifacts; Chain Lightning and angels split in groups of 2 kill Ivor, taking all the loot (among the goodies: Shield +12, Hat +6 all stats); Ivor couldn't escape because I had a Cloak of +2 Speed. Charney heads towards the opponent's castle, stops a couple of cells short and runs to a well to replenish mana. By some miracle, Ivor rises from the dead :), albeit without artifacts now.
Opponent decides not to hole up in the castle and attacks on his turn, albeit completely unsuccessfully. Surrender follows.

I confirm :smile51:

The town was ideal: 2 Dragon Utopias, plenty of day. I took a secondary castle on the 1st week, lucky (Rampart), immediately built Elves in both castles, everything went smoothly, I got carried away and didn't leave my area, even though I knew I should find the opponent faster with my setup (Greed ruined me)...:D Opponent's Tome of Air decided the game, with Spellpower +30, although the army was a bit weak =) almost 2nd month, less than 1000 skeletons. Well, winners aren't judged :D :smile51:
Thanks for the game. Opponent's password 77
