28.02.2015 Kamnerub (red, random, Castle, random, Cuthbert, Ciele) draw Night Troll (blue, random, Tower, random, Daremyth) 2SM2c M-U 200%, 132.

Used my restarts. Opponent still had 2. No choice, I play what I'm dealt. And I'm dealt well.
Stables right next to my Castle, the scouting view reveals almost the entire respawn + a piece of the neighboring zone (opponent's secondary). Gold collected by the end of the first week is 10k+.
I take the blonde as my main, Ciele the sweetheart. :smile36:

I only have one road, and it leads to something like a GO made of Dendroid Soldiers. I break through off-road (snow), Ciele is offered "Pathfinding". In the treasure zone there are two Beehives, but guarded by strong shooters. So we beat 2 Pandoras (giving 5000exp and 50 Pikemen). We beat a Ring +1 Attack and Defense, Sword +3 Attack. A Gold Mine. To avoid circling back home, I break through the Wizards from the other end of the treasure zone - one turn away from my Castle. They spank me, and I take the Auto. :smile21:

By the way, on all these shooter guards (~40 Magogs, ~19 Monks, ~90 Orc Chiefs, ~19 Wizards) I lost a lot of army, including 2 Cavaliers and 10 Swordsmen, 10 Griffins, 50 Pikemen. After taking over the Wizards, I have about 50 Pikemen and ~35 Marksmen.

I see that the opponent is about to hit the Dendroid guard on the road towards me, so Ciele holes up in the Castle. The opponent attacks with ~180 Master Gremlins, ~12 Mages, ~25 Stone Gargoyles, ~15 Iron Golems, Lightning for 160 and lots of mana. We drag the fight using Anti-Magic learned from a Shrine. :smile16:

Then there are a couple more attacks from the opponent, with mutual throwing of Lightning and Arrows for 160-230 damage, Anti-Magic on Ciele saves the day again.
The opponent surrenders, sensing the power of Anti-Magic. :smile47:

Since I took the Auto, the result is a draw. Thanks for the interesting game!
