03.02.2013 The_ (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def u2noob (red, Citadel, Crag Hack) JC 125 game 2 (2-0).

In this match, we used all the remaining restarts.

It turned out better than all the previous rolls (in terms of army meat), three stacks, native hero with Harpies, Xyron with three stacks. Immediately scouted a level 2 Griffin Conservatory with Archangels one day from the Castle, and decided to take it the next day; as it turned out, I rushed – I should have taken the external dwelling of Dragons first, which was guarded by 50-99 Griffins (there was also an artifact +1 speed and resources), but I had already set my mind on taking the Conservatory on 112 and couldn't adjust, even despite receiving new information :), a couple of bad morale rolls, plus the Troglodytes didn't deal good damage – result: minus 130 Troglodytes and all the growth. But I have two Angels, then scout heroes pick up the secondary resources, a Warrior's Tomb (Chain Mail +4), Shakti with 1 Angel takes the Crown +4 and sets out to break through the Griffins and take the external dwelling. I kill the Griffins without losses, then the Dragons got it too. Only one Dragon Fly Hive was scouted (as it turned out later), I build a chain to it, send Shakti ahead; I forgot to mention the skill development, and it was exactly what was needed – first Logistics, then Earth Magic. 2 Dragons, 2 Angels, with a small amount of growth, easily take the maximum Dragon Fly Hive. It's still unclear where the GO is; not only does the road from the Castle go in a loop, but it's already day 4 and the GO is still not in sight (even though a scout hero has been running that way since day 1, almost always on the road), despite the tiny respawn. Finally I reach the GO, there I scout the last "meat" object on the map – the external dwelling of Cats; I realize the starting area is completely revealed and there's nowhere else to get meat, so I take the external dwelling of Cats. By 115 the respawn was completely eaten (I found a Cloak +2 speed in a corner), I take Shakti to the stables in the corner of the map and break through into the secondary area (to buy a spell book, which I almost forgot to buy :)), from which it's two full turns to the GO (and Shakti has 2500 MP), almost along the road I take a Well, and on 117 I stop right at the GO (I thought for a long time about whom to fight on the way – the Faerie Dragons or the 50-99 upgraded Cyclopes, but those are off-road, an alternative to the GO).
On 121, after trading on both markets down to zero, barely buying everything (ONE Crypt on the entire respawn, there were no more monetary objects at all), with full speed bonuses I fly into the Faerie Dragons; 15 speed on the Angels helped (even though Shakti is only level 8, not a single Pandora's Box on the respawn). By casting Oil, I managed to kill two Dragons with a morale boost; the remaining two preferred to cast Ring of Cold on the Troglodytes and Lightning Bolt on the Harpies (thank you very much to them), and the next turn I finish them off.
In the center, immediately a Necklace +3 to all stats, a prison with Vokial level 20; two Dragon Utopias are scouted; the center is Barbarian-themed, so I need to devour it as quickly as possible. Then in the center I collected a couple more prisons, cleared several Pandora's Boxes (all for experience), took Sandals +2 to all stats, 2 Orbs – Air and Earth (the Earth Orb was guarded by Djinn, who first treacherously cast Fire Shield on themselves, and then Magic Mirror, which reflected two of Shakti's arrow shots into the Ducks (-3) and into the Cats (-3)). There is simply no meat; in 4 days in the center I didn't find a single Hive!! Didn't even see one, even though at least 60% of the center was scouted. A scout hero from a prison saw a Book of Earth Magic along the road behind 20-49 Angels; how to kill that with three Dragons, 2 Angels, 7 Ducks, and 8 Cats is not very clear.. And there are also Archangels there, but nothing to be done – I break through two or three scouts and attack; 11 Angels and 3 Archangels only ate 4 Cats – well, thank you for that. Shakti has exactly enough mana for one Town Portal, but there's no Castle in the center; the Castle is blocked by 20-49 Giants with Archangels, where I've already broken through three scouts, but there is Vokial with 120 mana and KZ + an Orb, who should be able to handle the enemies. The plan was to take the Castle, double the mana in the Dungeon, and return to the center. But the opponent probably didn't have a good game going; he thanks for the game and leaves it.

Thanks for the game and good luck further!

Overall, from a not-so-easy situation I managed to play quite decently; thank you to everyone who watched, supported, and didn't let me get discouraged;)
