22.07.2013 StRatte (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar) Def Akella (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Deesa) 213 Diamond
Week 1 - started off great, got Gunnar, captured 2 villages and a Conflux computer, built GM2 and 1000 there and nothing else, bought myself a spell book and hunkered down to replenish mana.
Week 2 - on day one took a level 1 Griffin Conservatory near the Conflux. With the Angel things took off. Captured another 3 villages and came to the Rampart computer, stood at 127 not far from its castle and set birds to fort in the Conflux.
Week 3 - took the computer's Rampart, kept collecting goodies, took another 3 Griffin Conservatories. At 137 I stood before 2 Dragon Utopias.
Week 4 - bring in reinforcements, take another 1 Griffin Conservatory before the Dragon Utopia, first Dragon Utopia was level 2 - gave a Red Orb, nothing else worthwhile really. The second turned out to be level 5! ooh lost all the meat and 8 birds there!! only 8 Angels left, but got some nice loot: Sword +5 to all, Shield +12 -3, Helm +12 -3, and Legs +2 to all. At 143 I take the Hat for all level 5, at 144 Necklace +3+3 morale luck. At 146 I ran the wrong way and took the computer's Tower, at 147 I returned and sat in the opponent's Castle.
Week 5 - scouted around with pawns - explored everything. Ran around with Gunnar, gathered army, got double mana and at 213 didn't quite reach Deesa. The opponent attacked himself, had little army, level 5 magic + vastly superior stats gave the opponent no chance to resist!))
GG WP, thanks for the game, it was interesting to try a new template for me!)
