Favorites, to battle! - 6 - The Battle of Favorites! - 6

30.10.13. Aiwe (red, Tower, Nila) def The_(blue, Dungeon, Shakti), mininosta , 216

It was very tough at the beginning—the treasure zone on the snow had some bad luck, but then I got going.

We pushed and pushed; closer to the 2nd month, I started looking for the opponent since the tavern showed an advantage in one-unit count, and I followed him via views. Eventually, I entered 2 Dragon Utopias where I finished collecting the Haven; on the next turn, the opponent runs right up to me, and on my turn, I attack.

I had a strong stack of wyverns and a good one of demons + fodder; the opponent had slightly more wyverns and 15 fire birds. I was nervous because on the first try, paralysis from scorpicors hit the wyverns, and then poison hit the demons, but in the end, thanks to the Haven, Nila's passive, and a larger amount of fodder, I win.

Thanks for the game!

P.S. FizMig says that scorpicors cannot cause paralysis with a red orb; is that an error there or maybe some kind of bug XD?

I don't even know what to say, I seemed to move around reasonably well, although the second week was hard because in the treasure zone 4 guards in a row completely blocked the road—fanatics, cyclops, liches, snipers—they bit me pretty badly. I think about 15 ducks + all the healing.

For several games in a row now, I haven't wanted to collect anything—not elixirs, not AOTD, not Haven; after about 8 Dragon Utopias and treasure zones + artifact merchants + black market, I found nothing for speed, neither for the hero nor for the creatures. The demons there had 13 or 14 speed; it goes without saying for other creatures, as even gremlins moved before my stacks. A glimmer of hope appeared when the cats' passive triggered on the wyverns, but in vain; even though poison triggered on my wyverns too, prayer + light speed, seasoned with a red orb, left no hope for a happy ending.

The game somewhat reminded me of playing as a beginner in terms of dynamics, only in reverse—for every argument I had, the opponent had one of his own.

p.s. Later I'll attach a screenshot (if laziness doesn't win), showing what they give in a max Dragon Utopia: captain's hat, boots of levitation, book of water, a hat +4+4 to magic; now I understand how people who have never been on the water develop seasickness ;)

Thanks for the game, a good victory!
