Dubrovin Pavel (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def. OUTLAW (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 131 WT
In the first week, I blocked 20-49 Orcs, took the Sword Altar, and gained 5 Marks (totaling 25). I took a secondary Rampart, but realized that the Grand Order was about roadless terrain, so I didn't go for another secondary Fortress because I had things to do at home. I brought in some Horses, bought +2 Speed for 75 Water Elementals, lost a Horse and 4 Swords there, and took another Sword Altar. Now I have Horses in the Castle and +6 Marks thanks to Valeska's level 7.
In the second week, I took a Mini Hive, a Mini Medusa Lair, and went to the MaxiNagobank with a large stack, without magic, as I was short on money. Ivor was already heading towards the adjacent Rampart secondary. I lost a Horse, 3 Vipers, and about 8 Swords there, but the 12,000 gold allowed me to prepare for Ivor's arrival. I managed to buy a Golden Bow for under 50 gold with Vampires and settled in the Castle. Ivor attacks with 56 Elves, 3 Angels, a Unique unit, 12 Pegasi, 20+ Gnomes, Centaurs, and some Ancients. Since both of us have the Basic Tactics skill, and I'm holed up in the Garrison in a chaotic manner, 58 Marks don't end up in the Angels' zone of attack. I kill all the Elves, Ivor pays 12,000 gold as a ransom, and I go to the Treasury on the adjacent Rampart secondary. I manage to take a Mini Hive and a +5 Mace there. Ivor appears again with 5 Angels, I return from the Treasury, bring in some more Marks (totaling 70+), and attack. Ivor now has a more advanced Tactics skill, immediately sends 5 Angels, and destroys almost half of my army (42 remain). I wasn't even offered the Tactics skill, but they heavily boosted Earth magic. I cast Slow, and Ivor doesn't retreat.
Thanks, Igor, for the game!
We played without tax and bank, with creature sharing and the Amulet of Renown allowed...
Confirmed.
Thank you for the game!!
