Group B, Pirates - Scumbags Game 1
10.10.2013 Stryfe (red, rnd, Conflux, Thunar, Vokial) def JustObserver (blue, rnd, Luna, Tyraxor), Mininostalgia, 142
I took 2 restarts, my opponent none - and I got a triple-flux with ramp, while my opponent got flux, dungeon, necro, and inferno. Under the town immediately stables, external market, I see ГО and decent roads to the comps. In the first week, I kill the comps, take a single griffin conservatory with Ciele and build birds in the fort. In the second week, I take artifacts for 8, gloves of speed, and Vokial goes into the treasure zone, where he collects artifacts for 12, boxes for 20 vampires, 35 ghosts, 2x15k gold, and releases Straker and Galtran from prisons (both level 10). Galtran takes an experience pandora and levels up wisdom, earth, and tactics. Meanwhile, Ciele runs to another treasure zone, takes a pandora for 15k gold for djinns there, but hits a block of 100+ fire elementals that she can't break. Regarding building: birds in the citadel and similarly in one of the secondary towns. In the tower village, I built mage guild-4, which gave town portal and chain lightning. On 131, I take a Dragon Utopia-3 with Vokial (blackshard, helm and shield of the titan, speed cloak)...on 132 - another Dragon Utopia (angel wings and charm +3+3 morale/luck). On 133, I hit the ГО from group of hydras and fairy dragons and enter the central treasure zone. There I take pandoras 2x35 fire elementals, a couple of imp altars for skeletons, and a cap for level 5 magic + I visit the green keymaster tent, behind which is a Dragon Utopia, which I take with Galtran (they give sword +5 all and titan's armor). Then in the center a couple more hives and I jump from there into an uncaptured village in the opponent's zone (dungeon), there I take boots +2 all and double my mana. In the tavern, I build mage guild-5 and they give dimension door and fly! The next day, Tyraxor shows up, I attack (he has the red orb and stats are roughly equal, but I have +3 speed and more troops), I kill several ducks and he buys himself out, and on the same turn I kill the leveled Luna and town portal home. Then the 4th week begins...I buy up the growth (ended up with 17 birds, nearly 50 ducks, 90 fire elementals, about 1000 skeletons and misc) and on 142 the finale again in the central treasure zone, where Tyraxor surrenders after round 1!
Thanks for the game!
Probably should have reested the two native comps, but I couldn't resist seeing Luna, 3 hives, a griffin conservatory, and +1 speed behind easy guards right along the road to the dungeon, which I eventually built up to a castle with a manticore portal, too bad the guys didn't survive until the finale... In the farthest and darkest corner of the swamp treasure zone, I got a book of air in the second week and ran with it and a mana well, but somehow it wasn't effective. Thanks for the game.
