One for all and all for one - 2

RF&P vs Pirates
Round 1
28.01.2014 .DiGGeR. (red, random, Swamp, Tazar\Wystan) draw RaiseTheDead (blue, random, Inferno, Pyre) 2sm4d(3) 133

In principle, a good layout. External dwellings of basilisks, lizardmen, and gnolls. But across three respawns, only one Dragon Fly Hive and one Griffin Conservatory. Without mass slow, it was hard to approach the Griffin Conservatory; death knights were guarding a shield +4, cyclopes, +1 level, resources, and the Griffin Conservatory itself. We postponed the game and started the second one, which had tournament significance. And when we resumed, after a couple of moves, we decided to settle for a draw.

Round 2
28.01.2014 .DiGGeR. (red, random, Inferno, Zydar, Deys\Gunnar) def RaiseTheDead (blue, random, Conflux, Ciele, unknown) 2sm4d(3) 223

I had to spend all the restarts, but after that, incredibly good layouts followed.
Up to day 114, everything was bleak, even though on the respawn there were two Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Utopia, and two boxes behind the sharpshooters and 50+ wolves, an external dwelling of imps and gogs.
ГО 20+ groups of nagas shifted, roads are slow, the adjacent zone is guarded by 20+ groups of orcs.
Almost no army; 13 gogs and 80 imps would hardly break through the passage.
I wait for efreet and open a chest hoping that Deys will get a tactics advance.
That's what happened. 40 dead imps clear the path to the ramp gate.
The respawn turned out quite rich, and on 12456 I enter the Citadel without issues, along with +2 wood in the ramp. The only downside was a lack of money to take the three Griffin Conservatories, which seemed quite large.
By day 125 I buy meat and go into the two-way. Sultan, almost all the wood, dwarves fell in the Griffin Conservatory. The second two-way with expert curse was easier. Boxes with 5k gold and 10k exp.
On the third, Marusya came and, with two angels, went through the Dragon Fly Hive into the treasure zone. Revealed gladius and two Dragon Fly Hives. Meanwhile, Deys was breaking hives in the treasure zone on the rocks, picking up boxes for exp and gold, and on day 141, with 30 ducks, goes into the Dragon Utopia. Tome of Air, flail, resistance boots.
By the end of the 4th week, he takes the second Dragon Utopia with various junk and claims the Sword of Justice from the trolls. :)
He splits and on day 211 takes the third Dragon Utopia with a teapot, wings, and a black orb, jumps into the treasure zone toward the Dragon Fly Hives.
It was visible from the overview, but I looked late, engrossed in the Dragon Utopia and hives. Gunnar was going to hit ГО, which he successfully broke through and captured the main.
I collect two Dragon Fly Hives and build chains toward Rampart.
The opponent runs away and stops by the pegasi, leaving 7 faeries in Inferno.
I take back the main with "spoons" and take a box of 50 dwarves.
I couldn't turn dwarves into demons no matter what. I jump to the rocks and run into the treasure zone for adventures.
And then in the tavern I find Gunnar with all his equipment and shackles, which most likely doomed him. I pass the artifacts to Deys.
The opponent apparently didn't notice that I told him about Gunnar.
I find КЗ in the treasure zone and, after replenishing mana for Deys, Zydar, and Gunnar, I prepare to break in.
The opponent surrenders. Apparently, he was looking for Gunnar in the tavern.
The opponent's mistake brought victory. If Gunnar had immediately gone to Rampart, I would most likely have lost. Although I had the stat advantage at the time of breaking Gunnar, those 6 Griffin Conservatories on Conflux's native respawn really surprised me after the game.
Thank you for the interesting games.
