I just enjoy watching Tvariny's streams.

Since most of the SoD players completed their matches ahead of schedule, ...

Draw for the 5th round:

herowly(Dungeon, Gunnar) def Aiwe(Tower, Nella) Diamind 123
He caught me off guard at 123, lucky guy, judging by the lack of a report and he's still lazy =))

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Thanks for the game!

We were 10 seconds short of reaching 132, which would have allowed us to summon Broghild when we had the advantage. He escaped and gathered an alliance.
Thanks for the game.

What about the grid/results?

Thanks for the game!

Dad is going crazy, if only he wrote reports with such passion :D

He should write reports with the same enthusiasm :D

Laziness is stronger.

Not much to write about, didn't go necromancy in the first week because I was hoping for something better and put the birds in the fort.
In the second week I started necromancy since there was nothing else left, and got a gift from the computer in the form of the Necromancy Amplifier, and on day 127 I also found the Necromancer's Cloak.
In the first days of the 3rd week, I buy everything available and take out 20+ gr units for the quest artifact and grab a minimal with a 4/4 crown :(
No time to be upset, in the necro town the Mage Guild gave me Chain Lightning, Armageddon, and Implosion, I gather these and kill 60 gr Rocs for the Wings.
That's when the miner showed up with insane stats and also a serious army.
And with Shackles of War too, not for hit-and-run with shooters.
My stats are about 2.5 times lower, army is 3 birds and 300 skeletons, but the miner doesn't come my way and gives me time. I turn in the quest artifact for 20k exp, grab the entire level 5 in a Pandora's Box.
In the fourth week I go after Dragon Utopias I find with just skeletons.
I also got Dead Man's Boots and the Speed Cloak, and slowly started collecting Dragon Fly Hives. On day 147, almost 700 skeletons.
In another Dragon Utopia I got a Sphere of Permanence and see the remaining 2 parts of the Angel of Death Tower.
On day 214, I capture the computer's Castle and take one part, and I'm near the other with 1150 skeletons.
On day 215, I take the last part of the artifact and also looted OPA in a necro village. I sit in the ramp, refilling mana and also picking up Centaurs for the Transformer. 1350 skeletons.
On day 216, I take everything to the Transformer, reclaim my Conflux from the computer (the computer took it from the blue player and also a couple of towns). Army: 1 Angel, 48 Dragon Flies, 1534+ unit points of skeletons. Went to refill mana in Inferno at the Graz' above, the next turn I planned to upgrade and place the Angel of Death Tower, but I was attacked.
In the second round, I realized I had no chance here and surrendered.
The battle ended with all my Dragon Flies and Angel against 3 birds with higher speed and whatever else was hit by Chain Lightning, not ideal of course, but oh well.
On day 217, upgrade skeletons, assemble the Angel of Death Tower, place Angels in the Castle, and buy them out.
Also got 3 Dragon Flies and 14 Grand Elves. I camp in my treasure zone in the necro town to grab the Conflux on the first day, but the sneaky computer stole it back.
But on my turn, the miner pops out and sits in the Conflux himself; naturally, he needs it too.
On day 221, I buy a couple more heroes and an army for the Transformer, donate all resources just in case, and attack the Conflux.
There, over 5 weeks, nobody bothered to build a Castle, only the Citadel was there :D

My army: 1 Angel, 1+1+1 Dragon Flies, 14 Grand Elves, and about 1700 gr skeletons, all with the Angel of Death Tower and the Red Sphere, +3 speed and +1 HP.
The miner had an army: 11 Angels, 1+40 gr Dragon Flies, 20 Minotaurs, 50 Troglodytes, 16 gr Medusas, 30 gr Wights. His battle stats were about +10 compared to mine.
I immediately covered the catapult in the first round, but the opponent didn't even target it. It slowly smashed everything to pieces, and the skeletons started doing their job. They would take out a stack with Wait and retreat back, thankfully the speed allowed it (speed was 8, and the Angels had 6). I left the Angels and Dragon Flies for last since they wouldn't take them out in one hit, but they didn't cause much trouble either.
Thanks for the game!

I don't quite understand the movement of both sides on turn 216: one has all the components of Armageddon's Blade and the Chupacabra spends the night without them, while the other, having manacles, attacks without them.

I don't quite understand the moves of both sides on turn 216: one has all the components of Armageddon's Blade and sleeps peacefully without them, while the other, having shackles, attacks without them.

Doesn't it bother you that, despite having shackles and vastly superior stats and an army, Shakter disappeared for two weeks and let the enemy gain ground? :D

I don't quite understand why both sides had 216 moves: one with all the components of Armageddon's Blade and the other without them, and the other, having handcuffs, attacks without them.

Probably because it was 6 AM :D
Although the idea was not to destroy Armageddon's Blade too early, otherwise they could have played for a very long time, but instead, he would have destroyed any castle nearby soon.
