Newbies vs Maniacs
first round
Seemed like a good draw, got Galthran, air elementals built, have an external market, lots of roads...but many ranged guards, in the end didn't necro anything and only built birds in the fort, at the start of the second week we could already fight the opponent but both went to other sides, 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, aside from going to visit the opponent, I decided to play off-road and at that same moment the scout hero finds an entrance to the treasure zone, the previous treasure zone revealed by scouting was empty. I rush into the treasure zone, it's on sand but I immediately find a Dragon Utopia in which I get the Air spell book, with Dimension Door I rush into another treasure zone, there's another Dragon Utopia with the Earth spell book, I consider 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 another revealed Dragon Utopia, because I doubted I was going exactly where his army was, as a result I gave him a day and he grew a lot in stats. The plan changed, I started to pressure his towns, on 147 I see him leaving the treasure zone, I run up to him and see that I have very little mana but his stats and army scare me, what if he has the Orb of the Firmament then I would lose since I decided to attack with Shackles of War. I attacked anyway and won purely due to mana, if there was the Orb of the Firmament or even the Magic Resistance Cloak I would have lost.
Thanks for the game.
