21.08.2013 Akella (red, rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def RaiseTheDead (blue, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 8mm6a 113.

I played as if on autopilot. I immediately went to visit the computer. I didn't even pay attention to the starting hero, and that was a mistake. The miner on native soil wiped out my entire army — both the duck-billed critters, and the lizards, and the gnolls.

24.08.2013 Akella (red, conflux, random Aenain, Aislinn) lose RaiseTheDead (blue, castle, Caitlin, Dace) 8mm6a 125.

I found a quick passage to my opponent. It was hard to miss, since the generator was stingy with roads. As for my army, I had 3 angels from two conservatories, 5 cavalry, and about 60 archers. My opponent had 5 birds, 23 air elementals, and a hundred skeletons. Aislinn's mana was only enough for one slow, and on top of that, the birds got anti-morale in the first round. No real chance, in my opinion.

26.08.2013 Akella (red, rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) lose RaiseTheDead (blue, necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) Jebus Cross 127.

I got a very good start. Within sight there were 6 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 conservatories, 2 external dwellings for cavalry, 2 libraries, a shield giving +3 attack and defense, two artifacts giving +1 to speed. The main difficulty was not knowing what to tackle first — the hives were either max or near-max, conservatories were levels 3-4. Before leaving, I took 4 hives, a level 4 conservatory, both external cavalry dwellings, all the useful artifacts, and visited one library. I also made one serious mistake. I overcomplicated the chains — I had to buy two more heroes to make everything click. As a result, I had no money left to split up for Galthran. A whole day wasted, and because of that I couldn't grab the second conservatory, more hives, or visit another library. In the end, I went out on day 123 with 31 ducks, 4 angels, 15 grand cavaliers, and two hundred skeletons. I was very lucky that my opponent wasn't in a hurry and only broke through the ГО on day 126. By then, the entire center had naturally been cleared.

Thank you for the games!
