21.01.2014 Grizvald (Red, Castle, Valeska, Vokial) def sartrik (Blue, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Jabarkas) 2sm4d(3) 133

There was only one restart left, if memory serves. Across all resets, wolves were never built even once.

Starting artifact gives +5% archery bow; in the tavern — Jabarkas. I rub my hands together, place orcs, and get a stack of 19 shooters. Successful and all is well. On the very first day I see two Dragon Fly Hives — one behind the Wyvern, the second behind the cow pens.

I spread out along the roads; exits to the adjacent zone are blocked by 50-99 orcs on one side, 50-99 wolves on the other side. Naturally, both are on swamp. CE — black dragons. I try to get to a secondary via rough terrain, which is also on swamp. In a wagon near the castle I find a +4 shield, and drag it to Jabarkas. Along the way, not having scouted the wolves on the road, on day 114 I attack them and lose -> Griz offers an auto; after some thought and head-scratching, I take it. I experience severe stone issues; the Griffins are only built on day 115. I break through to the adjacent zone on day 116, capture a nearby prison; in the prison is a level 1 dip. The opponent has Vokial and Erdamon lit up everywhere. The week ends just horribly — Griffins in the fort, a thousand standing around, didn't make it to the adjacent zone — the road is of Jebus_Cross quality.

In the first days of the new week I'm still wandering through rough terrain toward the town, build Bear houses, Castle; on day 124 I take the external orc dwelling, on day 125 I break through the road. Around that time I spot the opponent for the first time, but just briefly. I find a Griffin Conservatory, but it's too far to march — I head toward the Dragon Fly Hives and plan to go to another adjacent zone — there the exit to the treasure zone was visible almost immediately, but here I somehow didn't find it.

I decide "not to take risks" and not to lose again, and only take the Dragon Fly Hives on day 131 (successful, I know). I set up the Papal 4th speed near the Hives, establish chains for army transport + Griffin upgrade from Jabarkas. The Hives are taken, a Naga Bank with 10 Nagas is taken, Jabarkas runs to the adjacent zone. On day 133 it turns out there's no passage through the rough terrain — blocked by a +1 attack guard. I grab a +2/+2 sword and prepare to fight the orcs. The opponent breaks through CE on day 135.

I think about rushing to the FB or something — no chance of winning either way — there are 5-9 Angels, 10-19 horses, and a bunch of bone piles. I broke through to the adjacent zone, saw a Dragon Fly Hive (minimum stats) and decided "screw it, I'll get into the treasure zone, then surrender."

The opponent took the main town, killed the horses, all good. In the treasure zone I find the best artifact in the world:



I capture it and drag it to the opponent as a gift.

GG, WP, thanks for the game. I'm not playing Jabarkas through orcs anymore
