October 24, 2015 PunkeR (red, citadel, Kregg, Kregg) def. Jewelmask (blue, castle, Valeska, Nela) Jebus Cross 117
Scouting on the first day didn't reveal anything significant, but I decided to play for resources because there were good roads, griffins near the castle guarded by iron golems, speed artifacts on Kregg, and built-up hounds. Towards the end of the week, I scouted a hidden bear lair, took Kregg, and revealed 3 Hive structures standing close together near the castle, but it was problematic to run across the ground to each one. I upgraded the griffins, but after the battles, only 2 remained. Near the most accessible Hive, there was a horde of lizards, and it felt risky to take it with two bears and a couple of griffins, so on turn 117, I ran Kregg to break through the golem horde guarding the griffins. After the battle, only one bear remained. However, theoretically, on turn 121 with the resource boost and griffins, I could have taken 3 Hives and continued. Unfortunately, on turn 117, my opponent surrendered in a hidden angel lair.
Thanks for the game!
p.s.
I miscalculated a bit; 10-19 black knights were guarding it, I thought there would be fewer, but there were 19, and there was also a cheap artifact lying around, probably from a quest... I broke through them, but there wasn't enough meat left for the angels, and I used more magic than planned, so I didn't finish off 36 HP and died a heroic death. :)
