[2x2 Tournament] Double Up [SoD]

zloi_romantik (Blue, Castle, Vala, Clavius) + wariator (Green, Citadel, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def albertti0 (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) + leosnow (Brown, Fortress, Bron, Bron) Jebus 126
We finally finished this long-suffering game, and finished is exactly the right word, I can't find a better one. First one opponent suddenly disappeared and only reappeared after a while, then the second vanished into thin air, and for the last 3 turns (almost 4 hours) his timer just ticked down while the heroes stood still :smile04: :smile20:
About the game - we took the rest and went. I had a decent respawn with 4 convenient hives, 1 Griffin Conservatory, 1 Dragon Utopia, but from external dwellings only horses + a stable, and not much gold - I decided to play through them. My partner, a few moves from the castle, had the only road blocked by Gremlin geese, but they also guarded a Grail :smile12: . Above there was an external dwelling of birds, 2 Griffin Conservatories and 1 hive, 2 Dragon Utopias + an external market, which helped a lot :)
As a result, by day 1 I had horses in the Citadel, a mini-hive and an external dwelling of horses taken, the Griffin Conservatory was strong - didn't go in. Clavius is standing in front of 2 more hives, but importantly, the Town Portal scroll was captured. Both have Earth magic, so on 115 in a secondary Tower town, a Mage Guild is urgently being built ;) . The Green player has bears in the castle, 1 Griffin Conservatory taken, Crag Hack is preparing to hit the ducks for the Grail on 121.
At the start of the second week, Mage Guild 4 is built. I cleared the hives - total of 28 ducks, Griffin Conservatory 2, Town Portal to my partner, and we started taking Dragon Utopias. The first 2 were purely SoD-style - Captain's Hat, Pendant of Resistance, a couple of Cloaks, sacks of gold and other junk, but in the 3rd we got KZ and KV :smile20:
On 125 I hit my GO, right under it was a castle. I send the horses and see that the opponents are still sitting on their respawns. Roma Town Portals there, takes the army and artifacts, captures another castle in the treasure zone and stays there. On 126 I plan to Town Portal there and go hit the Fortress, luckily the GO is not far. My partner attacks the Red player on his turn, but then Albertti asked to save for 5 minutes (he wanted to switch to another computer). We saved and waited a long time unsuccessfully for leosnow to join the game, but we never did. As it turned out, from 122 onwards he wasn't at the computer, and the Brown player was just burning his timer :smile51:
Since this isn't the first time we've lost a lot of time because of opponents, they admitted defeat. Moreover, a post-mortem showed that neither of them had anything to oppose. The army of ducks, aged bears, Archangels + Implosion at 1700 left no chance even if they had miraculously managed to unite :rolleyes:
Thanks for the game and please don't do this again :smile29: :D
