"Battleship" TOURNAMENT - reports and summaries.

Bolivar (mages, Jalib + Deleb) defeated MOO_IR (mages, Miv) on the Sun map, around week 7. Week 4+5 - a multi-dwelling strategy. And it was intense. All the guards were high-tier: mages and djinn, rakshasas and Storm Lords - all upgraded. I'm not going to give definitive advice, but taking such a strategy on week 1... The djinn cast Slow on my Storm Lords, the mages used Fist and Fireball, the upgraded rakshasa went to destroy the defending units, and the Storm Lords just retreated to the same Storm Lords. On week 1, you commit all your troops to take out ordinary mages and djinn... On day 2, I bought Jalib, and he managed to take that multi-dwelling by the end of the week, losing only half of his Storm Lords. All the gargoyles and the defending units were mostly wiped out. My opponent fared worse, although he had Nazir. Well, never mind, let's get back to the game. In the main city, I had regeneration, but failed to get resurrection or phoenix. In the intermediate and resource cities, there was grass; in the Monster Den, there was Orcish land; in the Treasure city, there was demonic land. I wasn't offered a Logue for the entire game, nor an attack skill. Luckily, I did get a defense skill, around level 20. I never managed to get a good luck skill, but Miv had a good luck skill and held out well in the final (although she didn't have an attack skill). The final battle took place in my Treasure city. My opponent jumped over the wall (by the way, why are the walls around the Treasure city so thick if there are holes in them that allow you to jump into the Treasure city in two turns? It's probably a bug). My opponent managed to destroy my Temple and take out some minor units. Jalib quickly ate the Utopia and, in the next turn, with shackles, both boots, and a stable, he reached Miv - after first moving all his troops to Jalib (Miv didn't have gargoyles, golems, or a full growth). But by that time, Jalib already had a stat advantage of +20, and he wasn't much weaker in attack and defense either. Towards the end of the final battle, Jalib started using mini-skills to replenish his troops, and my opponent surrendered. I also had a secondary city, but I didn't have time to build it up much, so it didn't have much impact on the final battle. But if the game had been prolonged, it would have certainly helped. And near the second city, there was a multi-dwelling with gargoyles. Yes, and I also had Deleb, level 22, with a Logue, Light, Mass Slow, Mass Haste, Battle Potion, and Offensive Spells, in addition to his special ability. But he only distinguished himself by earning money, although he was also preparing for the final battle. Thanks for the game.
