"Battleship" TOURNAMENT - reports and summaries.

yaughen (red, Orcs, Shak) defeated alex_nv (blue, elves, Ilfina), 3d2n2m, Spider, dwellings 2,2,5.

Moved quickly, leaking meat little by little; got the tent only by level 15. On the third week, he was in his own treasure zone. So-so: two Dragon Utopia, Temple from artifacts, shield against berserkers, a couple of dragon ones. At the beginning of the fifth week, he was in the enemy treasure zone. Two Dragon Utopia, two Temples, ring +20 init, cloak of deathshadow+ring of sinners, pendant of mastery. Final battle in the elf's castle. Level 30 Shak, educated, against level 22 Ilfina (Sasha's game didn't go well from the very start). Gobs reflected a boulder with Ilfina's spell 1 and took down a catapult. But the orcs moved often, and after the bows and druids were wiped out, Alex surrendered.
Thanks for the game. Good luck in the tournament.

P.S. Sasha, sorry if I offended you in any way. ;)

Everything is fine, it's clear that the commander of the Stronghold forces got a bit carried away by such happiness, but it's forgivable :)

About the game: besides the worst possible layout for dwellings, I also messed up one building on the first week and was left without dragons on the 2nd. But it turned out that even with a castle, there was a lack of resources. Also, on the second week in the middle mess, the second hero Erin vanished into oblivion. All this already slowed down development, and then Earls stood at the entrance to the resource zone. There was nowhere to maneuver; I stalled for a week and finally broke through the Earls and elven archers at the exit with reinforcements. Woke up in the resource zone among the sands without logistics, and it was already the 5th week (the orc entered my treasure zone). Only started recovering on the 6th week with resurrection, broke through ГО, when the orc arrived. I was one day short of reaching the market, which was only in the resource zone (didn't see any Factory machines at all), to exchange a bunch of resources for money, as well as learn the ring of cold. In battle, the gobs didn't reflect the ice shard, and that's how I intentionally destroyed the catapult. The gobs only halved the damage, but it wasn't important because of the deadly cold. And Shak turned out to have horde rage. And the absence of the ring made it impossible to take down the ballista. And without druids, what chaos :( Was 4 levels short of bdp.

p.s.: I hope this game took all the misfortunes of the tournament with it
