19.04.2011 Sevensan (Blue, Necro, Sandro, Galtran/ Straker/ Sandro) Def R55Max (Red, Conflux, Random, Ainain Moner / Grindan) 8mm6a 145

Soooo. Well, the main part was yesterday. We got up around one in the afternoon :rolleyes: and started playing.

Uncle Max picked all the restarts, I still have 2.

111 Right away around the Castle there are 3 Griffin Conservatories. Definitely not restarting, even though the tavern gave me a bit of a bad hair deal with Straker having 8 zombies in his army. I have 19 zombies and 38 skeletons :( And almost no money, only 4 heroes :( Checked the first Griffin Conservatory and it's a level 1.
112 In the Mage Guild, besides stone skin, there's absooolutely nothing...
113 Seeing the financial crisis, lack of army, and the need to clear many blocks in the adjacent zone, I took the external dwelling of peasants and built the Skeleton Transformer.
114 Lost a couple of days going the wrong way on the respawn and only now approached the teleporter. Got 70 bones, it's livable...
117 Experted a couple of Necromancies, and on the blocks I lost half the skeletons, ending the week with 41... :( Straker grabbed Earth, and another external dwelling of peasants is visible. (+50 per week is very good). With trading down to zero, I somehow wedged in Knights... The situation looks dire ))) On the second week, I have to take the Griffin Conservatories, but there's not really anything to do it with ))

121 Took a look in the tavern and there's Galtran with three stacks ))) That's when I realized everything would be fine )))
122 2 Knights, 170 bones. I take the level 1 Griffin Conservatory. Next, a Crypt and a Medusa Den for 8.
123 Checked nearby - 3/4 with Ghost Dragons. Chained and took another level 1 in the adjacent zone. Knocked out some treasure chests. Galtran grabbed !Logistics! and !Earth!
124 +1 Angel. That makes 3.
125 Broke through the 24th grade of Rocs and Orcs and finally got Sandro with Expert Earth! Took him to claim 3-4 with Ghost Dragons. Headed towards the computer's movement, and there's another Griffin Conservatory.
126 Took Griffin Conservatory +3 with Straker. Then chained another +3 with Sandro, so that's 9 Angels. Burned 2 Dragon Utopias - I'll take the third one.
127 Destroyed the computer... though not happy about the Capitol. Knocked out the Cape of Speed +2.

131 Starting to sweep up the bones on three fronts.
132 Positioned Straker by the Dragon Utopia.
134 I see Grindan hitting 1-4 Faerie Dragons for a Pandora's Box and clues, and heading my way! 20+ Wivs, 5+ Angels, 5+ Phoenixes, plus a loaded army... In a hurry, I fight everyone... A very tough turn with 10 battles, and chaining from two treasure zones. At the end, I managed to pass everything and take the Dragon Utopia and a neutral town in the treasure zone. The Dragon Utopia is a triple - gave good stats, plus the Sphere of Inhibition!
135 Grindan has already run to my Necropolis, and I took another Griffin Conservatory +3 in the treasure zone, increasing my feathery ones to 12.:cool: I hastily put together a chain to yet another Dragon Utopia. Galtran was supposed to come and he would take the Library + Dragon Utopia.
136 Grin took my Necropolis, scouted, and... Stopped at the teleporter! That's it... The chain is broken. I sacrifice Galtran and attack. The Sphere of Inhibition is equipped, and in terms of army and stats, I'm twice as strong + the double speed decided it. I kill everything. After that, until 145 I gathered 1300 bones, then Max came and lost in the Dragon Utopia. Thanks for the game!

133 28 Wyvern. Scouting the map I saw a large treasure zone near Conflux, went there - didn't miss (screenshots 1,2). On the third [week] I grabbed a bunch of Pandora's boxes there for experience, magic, and cash.

24.04.2011 Sevensan (Red, Castle, Valya, Nagash) Def R55Max (Blue, Inferno, Marius, Galtran) Mini-nostal'gia 212

111 Stables under the castle and an external market. 25 archers. Isra and another necromancer arrived.
114 - All 3 comps killed. Conflux, Barbarian, Dungeon! Found a scroll to raise undead.
117 Phoenixes + chuds summoned. Nagash level 1. 0 bones.

121 Went into Barbarian treasure zone. There I ate Pandora's boxes for experience, Griffin Conservatory +2, cape of +2 speed. Took 4 beehives.
127 Castle phoenixes + Castle chuds.

133 28 Wyverns. Scouting the map, I saw a big treasure zone near Conflux, went there - didn't miscalculate (screenshots 1,2). On the third turn I took a bunch of Pandora's boxes there for experience, magic, gold.
136 With 16 chuds I take a Pandora... And there's the whole Earth magic! Great. I have expert Earth/Air. Everything falls without losses after that.
137 First Dragon Utopia. Gave junk, but I got Angels.

141 On the fourth turn I ate 5 Dragon Utopias, about 7-8 beehives. Took Necropolis secondary. Collected 90 Wyverns, 1600 bones.
145 In the last Pandora the entire 5th level! Finally control.
147 Took Max's main castle.

211 Took his Rampart and Swamp from him. Surrender follows. Thanks for the game.

Hey Andryukha, pull yourself together! What's wrong with you :smile12:
Put up a fight against the experts :smile19: 12 people believe in you ;)

Blue Inferno))) doesn't sound appealing... you're not doing a great job, Max, this is the final, not some random match...

We didn't argue. Right after the defeat, I suggested playing with the same factions, and that's it. It doesn't sound appealing to many because people don't play as Inferno, but some might disagree.
