The Crusade (autumn, winter 2013-14)

31.01.2014 SVAROG (red, Conflux, Monere, Monere) def Pyre (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) JC 145
We started before New Year I think; after the break, I see a decent Monere near the ГО (100 Wizards), I have a decent stack of ducks — 26 units, 4 birds — but no mass magic. On turn 123, I break the ГО with the loss of all birds, a couple of Wyverns and a lot of fodder. In the center, I grabbed several Pandora's Boxes (for 4 Hydras and all air with Expert Wisdom). I see Galthran, but contact isn't made; instead he heads to the adjacent respawn. The center is small, Dragon Utopia, 2 external Hydra dwellings — all taken. With Dimension Door and Fly, I caught up with Gosha, crashed in with Mass Haste, then received two counterattacks; 4 Hydras and about 8 Wyverns remained. Galthran flees. Then a long struggle; I took the Dragon Utopia, and on turn 145 — Fireball; I had Explosion, so no chance. Thanks for the game.
