"Battleship" TOURNAMENT - reports and summaries.

JonnyP (Mage, Nura) lost to moo_ir (Human, Iris) in week 8, using the Sun template.
They played with scouts at levels 2, 4, and 6; the opponent restarted the first game. They didn't allow a resurrection and couldn't break into the treasure room, but one mini-treasure room was enough to gather gold for an army and train troops to a minimum level. The combat stats were 28-20 against 10-24. Retribution and high morale did their job.
The opponent played unconventionally, using summons and darkness... the Phoenix for 38 spell points hit hard, but was killed by Vengeance.

+. I wanted to rush to the Human's territory in weeks 3-4, but he got too comfortable. :) I ran around collecting gold for a week, and then I ended up in the opponent's gold mine, and the nearest portal wasn't close either. I gave up, spent another week in the main treasure room, another week in an empty treasure room, then used a secondary hero to get to the opponent's treasure room - and then another 'couple of weeks'.... In general, in the opponent's main treasure room, something crazy happened :smile13: - just under 50 units took 8 Titans under a shield with 1300 damage. The rest of the troops just crumbled :(
There was no Darkness - instead, there was a Tome of Magic, but there were machines :) and no mentor in either treasure room...
