Jebus Cross - 4

24.06.2014 darkello (Blue, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def The_ (Red, Castle, Caitlin, Shakti) Jebus Cross 125

We picked all restarts.
In the end, an unreal chocolate draw comes in, unlike my opponent — I have Caitlin with two stacks and my second hero also with two! If I had known darkello only had one stack of skeletons, I would have started celebrating back on day 111. On the first day, I find an Archer external dwelling, a couple of crypts, and there’s a Horse external dwelling in front of the Castle! Granted, the guard is 19 Trolls, but it’s there! From 111-114 I ran around collecting resources, opened almost all the respawn, except for the road block leading to GO.

Shakti, whom I decided to level, by this time had already taken one crypt, +1 Attack for 1000 gold, and broke through the Royal Griffins for a +1 HP ring. And then, in a dark corner, another chest is found! Well, that’s it! — Party time! Since there were no more upgrades or crypts, Shakti runs to the chest, and I’m already rubbing my hands — the game is in the bag.

The chest was guarded by 90+ Mummies, and for some reason 30 Pikemen + 30 Marksmen couldn’t take it in one go, but I killed 59 Mummies, and what does that mean? — Right, they’ll fall on the second try for sure, the main thing is the start has been made. Meanwhile, the noobs run into the darkest corners of the respawn, bravely collecting resources so that the Angels can join our mighty army (30 Gremlins + 4 Swordsmen), and lo and behold, on day 117, an Angel arrives at Shakti. Not only that, but in the darkest corner of the respawn, another chest was found! Guarded by 50-99 Skeletons — “This is my revenge,” thought Shakti. I take it with absolutely no losses, and the prize is 60 Pikemen. Combined with the Pikemen external dwelling and a full buy+upgrade, I end up with 120 Halberdiers — yo-ho-ho. I decide not to rush yet; Shakti is level 4 — of course that’s more than enough, but the draw is already chocolate, so why hurry? I go to finish off the chest guarded by Mummies. With two Angels, those scoundrels certainly couldn’t hold out, and there it is — the chest, the prize, a gift worthy of the generosity of kings and emperors — 20, not just any, but the most genuine Royal Griffins. I completely relax; there’s plenty of cash, and it’s time to break through the block leading to GO.
The block fell without a problem, and then a noob brings news: “Boss, a Conservatory has been discovered, quantity one, send backup!” And right then, a voice from the scout sent a week earlier: “I see a Serpent Fly tree, awaiting further instructions, target is under surveillance.”
After such news, I spent about 5 minutes of the timer doing happy dances around the apartment, until the neighbors started banging on the radiator and threatening to call the medics. But I didn’t even pay attention to them; what can you expect? They’ve probably never gotten such chocolate draws — that’s why they’re angry.

I decide to act methodically — can’t make a mistake — I move toward the Hive first, but on the way I spot a chest guarded by 50-99 upgraded Demons. “Here’s my chance to level up properly,” thought Shakti, level 5. Ha, how I underestimated my luck — in that chest were 25 Swordsmen!!! With a full population of all creatures, even taking a Conservatory isn’t scary. The valiant troops rush on Royal Griffins towards their fate, while Shakti approaches the Manticores to discuss the matter of them quietly leaving before the boys return and rough them up.

Galtran found Shakti during this conversation, accidentally brushing him with his cloak as he flew by, and Shakti somehow died — apparently from joy and an excess of emotions.

Thanks for the game.
