23.10.2013. Oldboy (Red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) lose Heroin_HP (Blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), Balance, 125
Post-mortem revealed the game was winnable. I threw it myself by playing arcade-style.
Heroin, nonetheless, played well and was ready for my arrival.
We played without rests. Kyrre came with 5 elves and decent artifacts — a ring for attack and defense. I lost a bit of tempo right before the secondary; on 113 a block of 9 snipers grew from a scroll, luckily I already had Kyrre with tactics, so I built pegasi and broke through without issues. At the respawn, a near-max skeleton, naga bank 3 never took it, a stable near the castle, close GO of 80 pits with GS. Broke through on 115 into the adjacent zone along the road; there, with horses, a 20 dwarf nest with GS fell, not bad gold for growth, and I scouted the Griffin Conservatory, checked with a scout hero — a duo — and took the dungeon. On 122 I doubled to 60 mana, have slow, haste; Earth was actually primary, but I took the Griffin Conservatory more or less without losses with 5 horses and 22 elves, gave away the dwarves, and had 2 planks left. On 123 I broke the GO — elves rule, pity I barely didn't level Earth to GO in time. In the center I immediately caught a mini Dragon Fly Hive and two artifacts: a +3 strength jacket and a +2 attack/defense sword. I was heading to the Treasury, but the opponent showed up above the dungeon and went for the castle. I replenished mana in the center again to 60, crushed Kyrre, and attacked Dessa; Kyrre's attack and defense parameters were significantly higher, more mana, and more troops too — in short, I cast Slow GG. Thanks for the game! Good luck further!!!
