07/18/15 Armageddets (blue, Rampart, Kirr) loses to NightTroll (rare, Dungeon, Gunnar) 8mm6a 146
Starting with Kirr. In the tavern, Ivor appears. I decide to develop two heroes in parallel, and we'll see who becomes the main one. Kirr explores and advances in Earth magic. In the early turns, I take 2 Crypts on the starting area. I get a lot of gold. From the first turn, I get 7 heroes. The eighth one seemed not worthwhile at that moment. At the end of the first week, I find an Elven stash guarded by 53 upgraded Lizards, pass the army along the chain to Erdamon, advance him a couple of turns, giving him expert tactics, bring Unicorns and Dendroids, and break through the stash. But this stalled my development. And I didn't leave the starting area in time through the Fae gate. I find a Dragon stash and again turn back to stay on the starting area for another week to take the stash and the resource. On turn 125, I take the Dragon stash and a single resource. I see that the opponent has taken a second Castle, and I prepare to leave on the third week. I leave the starting area. I notice a computer-controlled hero and defeat it with Ivor. Then, I return the army to Kirr, and he takes a double resource and breaks through to the purple computer-controlled hero, capturing its Castle. One move was not enough to enter the Castle itself. And the opponent ambushed me, took a nearby Angel stash, and attacked Kirr. Since he got 2 Utopias, with the help of artifacts and attrition, he defeated me without a chance, although I had a larger army. A fair defeat. Thank you for the game.
