One for all and all for one - 2

12.01.2013. Group B. Arch in refuge - Scoundrels. game 2
Defiant (red, random, Tower, Aine, Tyraxor) def Sevan_80 (blue, random, Rampart, Melodia, Clancy) Jebus Cross 122

As a result of a series of restarts, I got a Castle with Mullich; my opponent seemed to be playing Rampart, but the respawns were connected by a bugged passage, and my opponent had no road to GO, so on 116 we started a new one. In the end, nobody had any restarts left, and the final layout turned out to be terrible: immediately one of the roads was completely blocked by a horde of Beholders; among the useful things on the respawn were found: 2 external dwellings of Genies, an external dwelling of Gremlins, an external dwelling of Mages, Pandora's Box for 10k gold and 5k exp, 1 Dragon Fly Hive, armor +1 all and a shield +6 behind a pack of Cyclopes. The only thing that pleased me was Tyraxor, whom I didn't spare any chests for; as a result, his skill set was top-tier — Offense, Tactics, Logistics, Earth Magic, Wisdom. GO, so to speak, finished it off: 2 stacks of 100-249 Cyclopes, Green Dragons, and Nagas, and it was clearly necessary to hit more than one GO. The result of week 1's building — Nagas in the Citadel. In the end, on 117 I gathered everything I needed, broke into the Castle with Tyraxor to replenish mana, used peasants to collect an army from cleared external dwellings, cleaned crypts, etc. On 121 I broke through the Beholder; along the cleared road there was nothing interesting either; I went along the stat boosters and experience stones, cleared a box for 60+ Wolf Raiders, which contained 80 Gremlins (already more fun, 200+ total), discovered another tasty box behind a horde of Mages. In the meantime, I was pulling peasants to GO for a Cyclops hit-and-run in case of a Grand Slam, when news of the surrender came: my opponent was punished by a pack of Arch Mages.
P.S. As it turned out, the box behind the horde of Mages contained all Earth Magic spells, but Tyraxor's Wisdom was basic :(

Thanks for the game!
