Group A, Avengers vs USW, game 1 (1-0)
03.12.13 Piterius (red, Necro, Vokial, Vokial) def wowa (blue, Flux, Luna, Luna), 8mm6a, 234
We played in several sessions, I don't remember much. One thing is clear: you cannot let a game against a Necro drag on. AotD didn't help at all in the finale.
Thanks for the game!
let it drag on -- but what other choice was there? incredibly long roads, nothing useful found at first to use Luna's signature tricks :( and with what, pray tell, should I go to the opponent if he gets even more resources while I'm running toward him? :) hopes for control and map maneuvers were futile almost until the end of the match -- the towers gave absolutely nothing, and the Dragon Utopia wasn't visible even when I was long ready to take them! I took the first one found with a dummy without a book as late as 211, I think (!!!) this dummy -- Deis -- remained passivated until the end of the match, getting a book only in the 2nd month :D Dimension Door was given 3 turns before the finale, and that's in a village built more out of desperation -- the reds played guerrilla nearby on the 3rd week, and then bolted back through the mountains)) having finally gotten jumps, I rushed into demonizing, and in 2 turns raised 200+ with an elite, but the meat for the goats quickly ran out
the Necro, however, has sky-high stats, a terrifying amount of meat, the map is stripped bare; wherever I jump -- on hives and Dragon Utopia there are signs saying "Vokial was here" :D
and although in such timeframes, red simply had to carry a red orb or at least a cloak, but I had neither, and what if it's over there?.... :confused: that's why I went all-in with ghostly chances -- hoping for mass-birth+black ball+AotD
it didn't work out, obviously)))
гг, thanks for a difficult, long and educational match -- you shouldn't even play as Luna against Necro on XL if there aren't any cons piled up near your home :cool:
