24.11.2013 The_ (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar) def shpilenger (blue, Necropolis, Galthran) JC 124.

Not a bad draw. I collected 30 Dragon Flies from respawn, and thanks to the secondary skills of Dungeon and the external dwelling of dragons, I ended up with 6 dragons by week 2. At home, I ate a couple of boxes for experience with Gunnar, leveled up nicely — Earth, Armor, Pathfinding, Air, Wisdom. Also, for 80+ Ogre Magi, they gave 15 Minotaurs, which I built in the Fort, plus the Mage Guild and Whirlpool. On day 122, I fly into a treasure zone with 3300 MP+, take a tier-2 Griffin Conservatory, Sphere of Osmium, break through 30+ Arch Angels with the Guardian Spirit for a Dragon Fly Hive and a Pandora's Box — they give 3 Etins and 8 more Wyverns. Then two more Pandora's Boxes for Giants, good without Guardian Spirit — all Fire Magic and 8 Naga Queens. In a prison, I free Nagash, with Expert Diplomacy, and retrain him to Armageddon. On day 123, I see the opponent's scout hero and Galthran nearby a Dragon Utopia. I equip Nagash with the Sphere of Osmium and attack. Armageddon lands for 570 damage, then Gunnar attacks with Mass Haste, and the opponent's army shrinks further. There’s a ransom, but not home — to the central Castle, and from there he runs off to take the Dragon Utopia! His stats naturally grow, but he has 0 mana, practically no troops either; Galthran ransoms back home on 7 dragons, sees Gunnar take a Pandora's Box and wings. On his turn, Blue surrenders.

Thanks for the game!
PS: We played on a chess timer of 40+8+1, very comfortable timer; we never had less than 25 minutes at the start of a turn, it seems.
