P.S. By the way, I almost forgot. For the future: to avoid prolonging the game, always play to win! If you offer a draw, it doesn't mean that your opponent will now play for a draw, as happened in the GoD-vs-twaryna game. This isn't a casual game; it's a serious match! You should sacrifice your King at any cost, and he should hold on at any cost (within the bounds of fair play, of course). And if you decide to offer a draw, let it be a sign of your nobility, not that your opponent now owes you something.

That's what I'm doing – taking care of you. And you're quite the rascal.

I intend to sit on the throne until my back aches and my buttocks go numb, so I am strongly against it. Even with a week to play, it's hard to play something else in parallel.

At least get up from it to go to the bathroom, otherwise you won't even have to defend it – after a week of you sitting there non-stop, no one will want to approach it, let alone try to take your place. :o

7.03.2013 Yostairs (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Crag Hack) def Amiloo (Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 6lm10a 134
Such a chocolate is practically impossible to lose, it seems to me.
On day 1 there wasn't much yet, Crag came, got Logistics right away, there's a Library near spawn, 2 roads, we play.
On day 2 I saw a Griffin Conservatory, checked it - level 1, excellent. Broke through to a zone with many forks and from the lookout I saw КЗ in the super treasure zone behind Firebirds, at that point I didn't yet imagine I could take it in week 2. Found another Griffin Conservatory (Troglodyte) in the same zone, broke through to the native brown computer and also found a Troglodyte Griffin Conservatory near him. Meanwhile the scout went into a one-way (passage to the neighboring fork zone without guards), collected and scouted everything possible. On week 1 I built 1-4 in the Citadel in both dungeons. I wanted to go with Crag to the Troglodyte Griffin Conservatory with Mass Haste on 121, but was 400 exp short of Expert Air, decided to go up to break something, and there was another Griffin Conservatory (level 1) and a Naga Bank. Decided to check the Troglodyte Griffin Conservatory with a scout - maximum, didn't risk going, went into the subway up, there almost immediately a Breastplate +5 and a Dragon Fly Hive behind 10-19 Nagas, we take it. The scouts didn't scout anything further, and there was nowhere else to go, so I decided to go into the super treasure zone. On day 2 of staying there I found 2 Naga Banks, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, 22 Unicorns, 2 Angels, 90 gr. Troglodytes and 28 gr. Eyes, finally decided with this to attack the birds, since I didn't want to come back here later. There turned out to be 18 birds, I broke them quite successfully, the Wyvern stack survived completely, only 1 Angel was lost. I take КЗ, the Dragon Fly Hive and TP home to take the Library. Built Manticores in the castle in both dungeons. On 131 I buy 11 Manticores, and take the Troglodyte Griffin Conservatories (3 and 4), meanwhile I see the opponent in a zone through the one-way that my scout scouted on week 1, on 131 he stands, as it seemed to me, in Crag's reachable zone. Crag reached the sped-up-on-Angel Ivor, but didn't reach the scout with the entire army by 1 cell, but I could stand so as to block the passage between the scout with the army and the rest of the chain. I didn't attack Ivor, because he could easily have had Tactics or + to speed, and he would have just bought himself off, so I stood with Crag, blocking the passage. Ivor crashes into me in Inferno, which was just captured by his scout with the army. I run to catch him, and on 134 the finale, the opponent from Tactics closed up right under my Meteor Shower, and after thinning out all the damage stacks by 400 with it, the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game!

11.03.2013 Yostairs (Blue, Conflux, Monere, Galthran) def Piterius (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 6lm10a, 146
I have Galthran, Air Elementals built, an external Pixie dwelling, starting artifact +1 HP, let's play.
On day 1 I stayed on my big respawn, necro'd a bit, collected some gold, built Birds in the Citadel, I have Boots.
On day 2 I was in a treasure zone, where I mostly necro'd as well, since there were almost no Hives and Cons, but there are 2 Dragon Utopias.
On day 3 I broke into a super treasure zone, took 2 Dragon Utopias, went to my first 2 Dragon Utopias, took them as well, and on turn 137 with Dimension Door I take one of the opponent's dungeons.
Galthran didn't have Town Portal and Air (1 Dimension Door), while the opponent has Shakti with 2 Dimension Doors, chasing him was almost pointless, but I had an army advantage.
While I was taking the remaining towns with Galthran, Shakti killed my Luna and Monere, ending up with a couple of Angels. After a few more turns, the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game!

17.03.2013 Yostairs (Blue, Conflux, Luna, Luna) def Scorpiona (Red, Castle, Valeska, Neela) 8mm6a 135.
By the end of the week I went off-road to the center, took the center village, and 2 more Dragon Fly Hives (now 37 Dragon Flies). I see a portal further down the road with no guardians, go through it, and there Neela on an Angel is ramping up, and nearby Valeska with her whole army. 5 birds and a shooter with 121 damage kill the Angel, then surrender followed. Thanks for the game.
