Spring 2014 season. Online ranked games (reports, discussions).

A large respawn spawned with winding roads, a triple Griffin Conservatory, 3 piles of wood, 1 of Pegasi, and 1 of Centaurs, and an external market. Luna also spawned. The opponent had Necropolis revealed. I scouted the respawn for 1 week, leveled Luna and Nila, whom I designated as mains, and also broke through to the Necropolis adjacent zone. In the 2nd week, I used Luna to burn all the guards on the neighboring zones (Unicorns, Nomads, Minotaurs), but unfortunately mispositioned her on 1 Pegasus, resulting in the opponent's unupgraded Harpy hero sending Luna into oblivion. Then the first major battle took place, where Aislynn bought back, losing his entire army, while I had about 15 Dendroid Guards and miscellaneous units left. I managed to win thanks to a single Haste; there was no Mass Magic. It was foolish to push without mana, having only Dendroid Guards in my army, so I retreated. In the 3rd week, with reinforcements, I took the triple Griffin Conservatory, broke through to a small swamp treasure zone, where the useful loot included Speed Gloves and a box of 45 Lizardmen. In the Castle of the treasure zone, I also upgraded and bought Lizardmen. Next, I pushed into the opponent's adjacent zone, where a quest Clover of Luck, a Dwarf Cottage, a chest, and a prison were visible. I took everything (in the chest was full level 2 spells, in the prison was native Jenova). Meanwhile, Aislynn portal'd into the Castle in that adjacent zone, and the second major battle took place:

Nila: 6 9 5 9 (76), 3 Angels, 7 Grand Elves, 62 upgraded Lizardmen, 26 upgraded Dendroid Guards, single Pegasi, 18 Centaurs, single Haste, 145-damage Lightning Bolt, Blind.

Aislynn: 8 4 6 6 (173), 3 Beholders, 180 Skeletons, 24 Zombies, 52 Troglodytes, 6 Medusas, 15 upgraded Harpies, 265-damage Armageddon, 250-damage Meteor Shower, Slow.

In the battle, I blundered in round 1 by casting Lightning Bolt into the Skeletons instead of finishing off the Harpies with it and getting the first turn for the Dendroid Guards under Haste, but I still managed to pull it off. With Meteor Shower and removing the retaliation, the Skeletons only killed 7 Dendroid Guards.

Thanks for the game.
