12.03.2014 Mizrael (red, Castle, Caitlin, Gurnisson) def KobRa_RR (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 8mm6a 237
We played in two long sessions :) At the respawn there was an external dwelling of swords (even more than one), gloves, Gurni arrived. Result of the first week - swords with an external dwelling in the Citadel. On the second week I broke through to the people, and there were two Griffin Conservatories with a uhlik. Total of 5 angels by week 2, found a Dragon Utopia and grabbed a couple of naga belts - angels in the castle. Third week - miniscule Dragon Utopia, gave junk. From the second Dragon Utopia also junk, the Mage Guild in the dungeon saved me: Town Portal and Fly under air from Gurni. From the taverns things are not good for the blues, I decided to visit right after upgrading the archangels, and what a distant visit it was... one-way portals, barely made it. Two Town Portal experts + Gurni himself with Earth made chains completely unnecessary, I took all the opponent's castles, but then he got clever and with Dimension Door took the swamp of the former computer. Then he twisted again and pried out the dungeon, but Gurni wasn't idle either - the keymaster gave the password to the Dragon Utopia, and there was a Book of Air. Essentially, immediately upon arrival in the dungeon, Shakti was attacked in the castle, followed by surrender. Thanks for the game.
The saga of how not to force-march on foot against archangels. The game dealt out the Sodovian bugged vomit as it is: ten keymasters with tents, a bunch of one-way portals leading to distant steppes, a Captain's Hat in the only Dragon Utopia, another 2 of my Dragon Utopias behind the damn keymasters, in 3 built-up obelisks NOTHING for control (the opponent was immediately given everything in the very first obelisk-dungeon). If it weren't for the tournament, I would have told everything to go to hell long ago! As it was, I spent a month digging around in a huge but empty treasure zone, becoming the happy owner of all sorts of repeating scrolls, like Armageddon, but nothing for control. Finally at the end of the 2nd month, I noticed the beloved outlines in the very farthest corner of that damned treasure zone, and they beckoned me strongly, because they gave me the Magic Hat, but naturally the precious time had already been lost - on the other side, everyone has Town Portal and Fly and even runs around on Phoenixes with the clear intention of Armageddoning me. In the end, I caught a couple of such smart guys, but I didn't have enough for more, because Mizrael made a control shot to the head, obtaining Dimension Door from my Dragon Utopia, which I basically expected from such a "game". My torments, by the way, began as early as day 111 - a horde of Cerberi right by the castle on the only road gave up the ghost; taught by Yvain, I didn't even think about a tech restart)
Thanks for the game! It's very unpleasant to lose like that due to the layout, offering no resistance; I played the whole game well, but against archangels without parameters and not having the ability to assemble a decent army (70 Minotaurs, 120 Eyes, 30 Manticores, 500 Troglodytes, 50 Wyrms, 8 Archangels, etc.) - there's nothing you can do. The main one was Hag.
Well, at least I took full revenge on poor Protoss for all my 33 misfortunes)
