17.12.2013 Defiant (red, Castle, Cailtlin, Crag Hack) lose Yostairs (blue, Conflux, Grindan, Luna(?) ) Jebus Cross 116
A lucky draft, we got rolling right away (no restarts). Crag came in, though at level 2 after Expert Offense he was offered Ballistics or Intelligence. Near the castle: stables and a Griffin Conservatory (2-4). On 111 built a Mage Guild (Haste, Shield). On 112 ignited a bunch of hives and an external dwelling of angels behind diamonds. On 113 with an army of 47 Pikemen, 4 Swordsmen, and singles took the first treasure site with 4 Vivs. On 114 moved Crag home, picked up a level 15 Dwarf, stopped to break into a prison behind Hobgoblins. On 115 got Mephala level 1 from prison, built angels. On 116 took a treasure site with 6 Vivs, an external dwelling of angels behind diamonds, but lost all the fodder; ultimately Crag went into a level 4 Nagash dwelling with 10 Vivs and 2 angels for no good reason. Result: -1 angel and 5 Vivs. Then, per plan, Ivor was supposed to take another treasure site; I decided not to give up on it, since there were simply no other options. The treasure site turned out to have 8 Vivs; autobattle offered a trade of my 5 Vivs for 8 from the hive, but for some reason I refused, decided to tough it out, resulting in snake morale and a loss. I figured since things turned out this way, I needed to finish the game, because time is very tight now, and if I continued, it could drag on a long time. (There were options to continue: on week 2 +3 angels + a Throne Conservatory + several unvisited hives).
Thanks for the game.
