SM spell def ПроБель
08/25/2013 Ayauhteotl (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) + Lim4 (brown, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def rebellious (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) + Stizko (green, Citadel, Crag Hack, Crag Hack), Teamwork, 122

Yes, it turned out to be an interesting game. We were planning to go for 121, but Tazar spent 3 turns buying a spellbook. :D Standing at the Gate on 121 was nerve-wracking.

Well, and one cannot fail to note the exceptional insight of the opponents.

Unfortunately, it's an undeserved compliment. I think that truly insightful players would have definitely gone for the rush, suspecting 5 conscripts from the opponents and imagining how many archers they could get.

As for the colors... if everyone goes for 121, the advantage of red boils down to the fact that it can take away some of the bonuses from blue. And at the same time, it can put itself at a disadvantage. Plus, red has more difficulties with mana regeneration.
If we talk specifically about our game, the color didn't matter much. You, being blue, had Valeska with excellent stats, and she was rushing for 122. This was a huge risk; without Valeska's rush, Tazar would have had serious problems.
