SM spell vs Дядя Сэм
27.04.2014 Aya (red, Necropolis, Clavius) + Lim4 (brown, Citadel, Gretchin) def marajan (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) + Iamsamstan (green, Rampart, Ivor) Teamwork 116
111 As soon as the map was created, Aya wrote that he had Stracker))) But we didn't lose heart, since everything else was going well. I have Gretchin with three stacks, in the tavern Cragg + a Dungeon hero with 30+ Troglodytes and Harpies. Aya has Torosar with a bunch of Gremlins. Necro got Haste and Slow. There's an external market by the path. Over our turns we spotted 4 Griffin Conservatories that don't need megachains. Checked one of them -> 3-4 with Ghost Dragons. Aya has two boxes on respawn behind Troglodytes and Devils. The Necro castle was built in front of the Wheel of Fortune monument for spell power and the experience stone) On the grass adjacent zone we scouted an artifact +all morale/luck:cool: I bought my heroes from Aya and, leaving them one Wolf and one Harpy each, dumping everything else into the castle garrison, acted like an AI ally: picked up resources, blocked paths (not critically), and painted Aya's mines:D With Gretchin, having built and bought Roches, I rushed towards the reds)
112 From Дядя Сэм's side there was also no restart, and it became clear they were playing. Actually, I planned to give Gretchin's troops to the captain and go about my carefree gathering and scouting business, periodically being smart in ICQ)) But Sasha took the boxes (experience for the Scout + 80 Skeletons by Clavius) and gave me back everything except the Gobs, with instructions to take the club +5 with 10-17 Trolls :smile32: He sent two+ thousand for the bears, though:) I do the dirty work of taking the club. In my panic I lost more Skeletons than the captain later did on GO)) I set up a Bear, buy the Scout with it and run to take a secondary. I buy Luna, give her a Gob and run to the chests above the Conservatories. I check the second Conservatory - also 3-4 with Ghost Dragons.
113 Aya captures the artifact +all morale/luck, builds a chain to take his double Conservatory, Dragon dwellings, and a box behind Elves. I take a secondary Conflux, the last artifact needed for the well:) and pass it to the captain's Scout. With Luna I take chests for experience, advance Fire, and capture the ring of life behind Gnolls. I barely fail to reach the central empty Tower castle with Gretchin.
114 Aya takes the double Conservatory, a Dragon dwelling, a box for experience with the Scout, and with Clavius the triple Conservatory. I build a Mage Guild in my main, learn Haste with Synca, and take the triple Conservatory. With Jellar and a Bear and Air Elementals/Fairies I capture a box for 20 Stone Golems:cool:
115 Aya picks up the fourth and last Conservatory - total 11 Angels. He takes the last castle in the adjacent zone and it turns out that GO is next to it and consists of Ghost Dragons. He changes plans and breaks into it immediately instead of the Tower, fights GO, captures in the Castle a Helm +12 Knowledge (just right for our well), and sends Scouts there.
116 He scouts the opponents' air not far away. He delivers the Golem to Clavius, sells an artifact for 15k gold, then fights a box of Psychos for 15k gold, then takes a Dragon Utopia (and just before he said to send him money :smile52: but seeing the Dragon Utopia, he probably changed his mind)) ). The Dragon Utopia was a 1 with non-preferred artifacts (they wanted spells, but got a Shield +12, a Cloak for +3 rounds of magic + I don't remember what). Less than three minutes remain on the timer:eek: I see he's going for the opponents. I try to talk him out of it, advise going for the Library, since there's almost no time left, they still have to fight GO and nothing is clear after that. And Sam even sent some mysterious smile through the tab on his turn))) But the captain knows best, he smashed everything, caught them off guard. Phew.
Thanks for the game. Good luck to the guys!!!
Well now I'll write how it all happened))). So on 111 we have Shakter with 1 stack and Ivor with 9 Elves +3 on a Mef + from Дядя Марат Labeta in the tavern, who immediately experts Earth on the chests, 2 Dragon Fly Hives as well, no Conservatories in sight, I scatter on my turn, find nothing interesting, but damn it just had to happen that Ivor reached the lookout))) and he spots a Castle and a Conservatory 3-4 with Ghost Dragons, we decided to play, you never know what he'll surrender later). On day 2 we gather the Castle and double dungeon with a Cat dwelling, on 113 I use a Scout to break the maximum Dragon Fly Hive) I lost all the meat there, but survived, then Labeta runs to take a Conservatory and camps there, Shakter takes a box for 10k experience, chains are working, Wyverns are being culled, on 116 we plan to break those Bears. In general everything was going according to plan! And then, what do you think, at the end of 114 into our conversation with Marat on Skype, a certain Artyom, known on the portal as Palach, butts in and starts telling us how bad things are for him on the Spider with Defiant, and that the AI took away all his dungeons and how unhappy he is and so on) at first I didn't pay attention) but, jumping ahead, I'll say that later I remembered how on 114 I addressed Alexander, aka Aya, with a request to give me a trance, to see how he breaks GO, for which I received from Masha as many as 3 no less mysterious smiles, and a call from Palach on top of that) thus, the cunning Alexander decided to lull our vigilance. As a result, we fell for this provocation and lost concentration, started laughing and trolling this Palach, instead of playing our own game properly! :smile26: It got to the point that Marat even forgot to build up, in the end on our 115 we built up to break GO, but got Clavius, who not only broke it, but also caught Shakter on the spread and took out our treasury as well, and generally outplayed us!
In general, despite all the above, I, and Marat too I think, want to thank Sasha and Masha for the game, and wish them further luck!
P.S. We await our opponents in the lower bracket:smile14:
In general, the whiny Palach won, and we didn't, but we're not upset :P
