Cunning Dragon - Scoundrels
Second game
28.01.2014 Mizrael (red, Tower, Aine, Neela) def rebellious (blue, Inferno, Octavia, Octavia) 6lm10a 146
My opponent used all their restarts, I still had one left, so I decided to play Tower against Inferno. I got Neela, the refuge gave me 2 Naga Queens, and there was an external dwelling for Gremlins. I managed to break through to the blue computer on week 1, and there was an external dwelling for Unicorns, and I managed to build them with the Citadel. On week 2, I found the Gauntlets and 2 Dragon Fly Hives in the same place, totaling 19 Wyverns and a dozen Basilisks by week 2. I focused on leveling Neela, with Aine and Astral getting scraps. Aine picked up Air magic, perfect with a Dimension Door scroll. By the end of week 2, I built the Mage Guild, which had Town Portal and Implosion, so the DD scroll could be used. I came up with a plan to take both Dragon Utopias on week 3 and then visit my opponent, especially since his Conflux was already revealed by the View Air spell. I decided to take the Dragon Utopia in the Underground first, because the one on the grass was risky — there were Gold and Green Dragons there, and they were more numerous than the Black and Red ones. The Dragon Utopia was three stacks, I didn't rush in immediately, I brought more meat — sacrificed almost all my Peasants, lost a few Unicorns, but got the Wings and a few stat boosts. In the second Dragon Utopia, there was a Level 5 Hat and a Red Orb, so Aine prepared to jump to my opponent after leveling up Air magic. In the end, I managed to take the Conflux before the end of the week, and immediately used Town Portal to bring Neela there for defense with the Power of the Dragon Father. Then came a flurry of portal jumps, tracking half of my opponent's topography. Aine acted as a navigator with an Air View scroll, and the DD scroll was passed around to anyone who had enough mana to use it. Even Crag Hack from the prison with Air magic got to use it. I captured almost all of the blue towns, drove Octavia out of the swamp, and took the village. After checking all the portals, I realized my opponent was somewhere out of their reach; the blue heroes were hanging out in the bottom-right corner of the map. I figured they had jumped there via a one-way portal, blocked the exit, and flew Neela over there. Octavia broke through to the village, where a Genie had camped for the night, and my opponent decided to surrender. Thanks for the game.
