05/02/14 Svetogor (Blue, Castle, Caitlin, Nimbus) def. Spinhead (Red, Swamp, Bron, Tazar) 142 6LM10a 127

After the first restart, we decided to play. I got a decent starting location, had enough money to build up, and recruited two Griffin Knights early on. I took one in the first week, left a Swordsman ambush behind the Archers, secured the road to the underground with some decent guards, and chose Nimbus as my main hero. I skipped through 5 upgrade levels focusing on defense and leveled up Nimbus's Necromancy and Logistics skills. I built up my Castle nicely, but I lingered too long at the starting location and the treasure. I reached ramp level 126, killed two of his heroes, and immediately took the ramp to the Citadel. I left Nimbus there with a small army. In my Castle, I had 10 Griffin Knights, 6 Swordsmen, and 35 Pikemen. I didn't buy much, saving for construction. I also didn't take the 120+ Skeletons with Nimbus to the Citadel, leaving them nearby on my carrier hero... that was a mistake, I should have taken them. I could have also built Stables there and bought a couple of horses, but I didn't do that either. I passed the turn.... then the computer attacked, and I defended easily. But then Tazar appeared and attacked. Nimbus had 3 6 6 3 (30) 16 Marksmen, 4 Swordsmen, 14 Pikemen, 7 Griffin Knights, 5 Boars, and 11 Bones. Tazar had 3 11 3 1 (8) 1 Griffin, 8 Wraiths, 10 Vassals, and 12 Lizards... it wasn't enough. The Archer, who was attacking for 70 HP, and the Citadel's Tower carried the day. I protected the Archers and managed to win. Tazar, with only 15 Marksmen left, typed "gg" and thanked me for the game!
