26.07.2014 Kilgor (Blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Tyraxor) def Juristis (Red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 8mm6a 146
Only one rest was left, the game gave a small respawn with a twisted road. There was only one road, the second zone was off-road, I can feel there will be money problems. But there are cons at the respawn + a huge starting army!
On day 115 I killed my AI opponent, on day 117 I barely stuffed the bears in the fort with full trade, left with 113 gold and 2 ore :D
On the second week I went to crawl in the center, around day 125 the opponent arrives and cuts off my respawn. Even though Tazar was out of mana, his 15 Lord Vampires commanded respect; I even took diplomacy + the Diplomat's Ring to buy myself off if needed and go home. I went into the treasure zone to eat hives + portalized an external dwelling of devils.
On the third week: 24 ducks + 3 angels.
On day 141 I caught up with Tazar in the treasure zone, there was a meteor shower and a buyout. Days 142-146 I took 2 cons 3+4. Already have 10 angels + angels will soon be built in the castle; I fired up the utopia. The opponent, seeing all this, types GG.
Thanks for the game.
After that I tried to hang on thanks to the hydras that spawned in the castle on the first week and Tazar's excellent growth (though without logistics, which also mattered a lot), but all (!) 5 taken hives turned out to be minimum size, there were no cons, and of the artifacts, only a shield +4 could be found. It's a shame to be eliminated after such a deal, but what can you do... Thanks for the game!
Also many thanks to the organizer for the tournament, it was engaging and positive! Great idea, keep it up!
