"Battleship" TOURNAMENT - reports and summaries.

Noom (red, Orcs, Arghat) defeated GL (blue, Dwarves, Svea/Karl) 221, sun. The game turned out to be very long. The initial resource distribution was 2-3-5, and from the start, he focused on Arghat. His development was somewhat flawed – he didn't get either a tent, a ballista, or a catapult by level 22. Instead of defense, he grabbed offense – there was no prospect of attacking the treasure castle, so he decided to drive the Dwarf back to his castle and, in the third week, jumped into his gold mine. After the encounter, the Dwarf gave up all his bears and elders, and I gave up half of my executioners and all my centaurs and half of my women. The Dwarf fled, returned with mana – there was no chance of killing the chaotic Svea with the remaining troops and a spell of 16+, so I bought my way out. I jumped in a second time with an increase in troops and caught the opponent off guard – I took the castle. But immediately after, I had to flee back home because Svea had grown in spell power, and I still had all my unredeemed troops at home. In the end, I bought out the Dwarf's troops. There was then a long break for the New Year, and we only got together to finish the game in February. I immediately offered the opponent a draw because, in principle, I considered my position to be at least as good, but it would have taken a long time to force the Dwarf out of the castle. The opponent decided to continue playing and lost around the sixth week. I didn't allow an autosave. Thank you for the game.
