"Crusade" Tournament (Spring 2014)

The first 10 days or so of the game were pretty boring — I farmed resources, killed a green Inferno computer opponent, built up my town, scouted, and so on. Tazu got junk at levels 2-3; I chose Learning, but then the skill rolls went smoothly — Earth Magic, Offense, and Logistics in a row. In the middle of the second week, I went overland into one of the central treasure zones, grabbed a Dragon Fly Hive with 6 Wyverns, found nothing else, and then went overland into the second central zone — also underground, on lava. There I killed 96 Greater Demons for a chest with 17k experience, then found several beehives and a Griffin Conservatory (mini), plus a Dragon Utopia. I planned to gather everything I had scouted and break the Dragon Utopia on day 132, but the scout hero couldn't handle 20+ Greater Minotaurs for a Dragon Fly Hive in a snowy adjacent zone without Wyverns — I lost the growth +65 Lizardmen +11 Snipers. I had to wait another 2 days, upgraded my Wyverns, and took the Dragon Utopia only on day 134. But I did buy a spell book for Tazu by finally reaching the central Tower town. The Dragon Utopia gave me the Book of Water, +2 spell power, a necklace with +3 spell power and knowledge, and a shield with +12.
I continued scouting; by the end of the week, I grabbed the doubled resource (pink swamp). The next week, I found 2 more Dragon Utopias — one in the inner treasure zone of the computers, and one in my own inner zone. The first turned out to be a mini with a Titan's Cuirass, but the second was a double with a Blue Cap. However, there was no Air Magic; I took Water Magic in the last slot. With Dimension Door and Fly, I took the purple Rampart. Soon I caught a poorly positioned Gretchin, cut down 8 Angels with Imps and 20 birds with Monarchs, and then a buyout followed.
I built 3 guilds, including the Tower guild, but no one gave me Town Portal. I took another 2 Dragon Utopias — one was complete garbage with a Black Sphere, the other gave stats: the Sword of Justice, Necklace of Grace, and another shield with +12. I also collected a Griffin Conservatory up to 10 Angels. With boots, a stable, and expert Logistics, Tazar ran great with Angels and Monarchs at 3600 movement points.
On day 215, I caught and killed the opponent's growth in his underground adjacent zone, and there I also grabbed a maxi-Griffin Conservatory and a Cyclops stockpile with 8. The next turn, I went into his corner and finally took a chest with the entire 4th level.
Day 216 — the opponent reclaims the former blue computer's Stronghold with the help of Gretchin, which I had taken from him earlier. Crag crashes in there and jumps for something into the territory of my Rampart (the former purple one).
Day 216, my turn — with Town Portal, I gather the army from 2 swamps: 69 Monarchs, 16 Greater Bulls, 75 Greater Lizardmen, 185 Greater Gnolls, a few Serpent Flies, and 14 Angels. Taz has 43 defense, mana below 100, but Crag has only 27 mana.
Crag has 8 Beholders, 40+ Ogres, and 26 Wyverns.
Round 1 — I cast Mass Prayer and with +2 speed, I slam Angels into the Wyverns (-23 of them) and Monarchs into the Beholders (-the entire stack). The opponent writes "thanks for the game" and throws a farewell Armageddon with a boost, after which I have 8 Angels and 50 Wyverns left. Thanks!
