First round: 00W-00L

23.09.2013 Dima Surmay (blue, random, Rampart, Coronius, Nila) def Akella (red, random, Stronghold, Yog, Dessa) 8mm6a, 144

At 111 I scouted the respawn with a reveal; there were 2 cons in the corner nearby and an artifact not far away. I decided to play, even though one of the two roads was blocked. Nila quickly got Earth Magic and reached expert on the first week. I captured the brown player's castle and received slow, then gave the castle back. At 121 I took both cons; they turned out to be minimums, and later I lost an angel through a blunder while killing the brown player. On the second week, I decided to build up the guild, and among the useful things I got resurrection; at the end of the second week, I found another 2 cons and an artifact. At the start of the third, I take them with +5 angels, and immediately got very lucky finding a Dragon Utopia—a minimum one with resurrection without losses, and an air book dropped; by this time I was already an air expert. By taking detours through upgrades, hives, cons, and Dragon Utopias, I headed toward the opponent. Before the finale, I was two moves short of taking another Dragon Utopia; the opponent takes it, gets a blue cap and something for spell power, but his army remained weak, and there is no escaping me now—he attacks and loses.

Thanks for the game.
