Dima Surmay
Auto-translated
First game: Spider. Started with 18 air creatures – thought it was good. But Dima had Galtran. He was always ahead in terms of tempo and power, and he got a couple of Great Wonders (including one in a tavern – they didn’t ban it), while Dima got Chain Lightning and Quicksilver, which decided the game.
Second game: 8x8. Everything was going well, but Dima got Gunnar with control.
Third game: Spider. Dima decided not to rush ramp (18 grand on turn 112). I decided not to rush either, because three roads were already taken. I scouted a lot, but there weren’t any good objects. At the end of the second week, I built a Great Wonder and found a teleport scroll. In the treasure at the end of the second week, I found 3 horse stashes. With one of the Necropolises, I almost reached the opponent's main city and used the teleport to attack Dima.
Third round.
I was already used to having good luck, but then something went wrong. Even though my opponent was playing Necropolis, I got a Necropolis hero right away, and two of the closest companions were also Necropolises, plus a lot of grand artifacts. I captured a Necropolis with a bonus at the end of the first week, but in the second week, the game went badly. I lost a hero with artifacts and 2 angels in a major battle against gnomes, and if I had taken single units, Vidar would have taken them without losses, but even without losing, I would have lost because my opponent was ahead in tempo. Thank you for the game.
