Newbies vs Maniacs
First Round
Seems like I got a decent roll, Galthran showed up, air buildings are constructed, there's an external marketplace, plenty of roads... but lots of ranged guards, in the end I didn't necromancy much and only built birds in the fort, at the start of the second week we could already fight the opponent, but both of us went off in other directions, I took a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and two Griffin Conservatories for 6 angels. At the start of the third week, I ran out of roads, and with no choice but to visit the opponent, I decided to play through the wasteland, and at that same moment my scout hero found an entrance to a treasure zone. The previous treasure zone that was revealed by scouting was empty. I rush into the treasure zone, it's on sand, but I immediately find a Dragon Utopia where I get the Air Spell Book, using Dimension Door I rush into another treasure zone, there's another Dragon Utopia with the Earth Spell Book there, I think about ambushing the opponent in his treasure zone and move towards him. But on the turn I was supposed to ambush him, I get distracted by yet another revealed Dragon Utopia, because I doubted that I was going to where his army actually was, as a result I gave him a day and he grew a lot in his stats. The plan changed, I started taking his towns from him, on 147 I see him coming out of the treasure zone, I approach him and see that I have very little mana, but his stats and army are frightening, and what if he has the Red Orb, then I'll lose since I decided to attack with Shackles of War. Nevertheless, I attacked and won solely because of mana; if there had been a Red Orb or even the Cloak of Magic Resistance, I would have lost.
Thanks for the game.
