group B. 28.07.2013 Lem (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Black2185 (red, Inferno, Pyr, Aenain), 2SM4d(3), 133
I took one rest, my opponent took all of his.
At the start 22 lizardmen, the respawn is very rich: chests, three crypts, and various small things. Around the respawn it's all snow. I break a path to the secondary area through the wolves, take a crypt there, and then there's a block, with an entrance to the underground. I decided to break through to another secondary area. That's also snow. I captured a tower, gathered a bunch of gold, and started thinking about which underground to go to, but my opponent decided for me and came out of the first exit. I get beaten, buy troops, and run to him, but I didn't quite make it; he attacked me instead. I had Tazar with 3 9 3 2, he had Aenain with archery at 90, and in the end either I underestimated the mage or overestimated Tazar, but after losing all the wyverns and most of the lizardmen, I had to buy back. My opponent headed towards my castle (131). I bought a decent amount of troops and killed a scout hero in his chain. Black decides not to attack, but to run to a caravan, and on the next turn I attack him myself. I backed into a corner and started enduring the archery while slowly whittling down his army. He had little mana, so I eked out a win. My opponent fled, and within two turns I reached his main, having taken a well in advance, just in case. He had no heroes left, and there was a handful of broken gogs sitting in his Citadel.
Thanks for the game.
