Damn, I missed something amazing :(
HaMaS 1 - 0 Avengers, round one
12.09.2013 HellLighT (red, Flax, Ciel) def Piterius (blue, Necromancer, Galtran) mini-nostalgia 124
A rematch after the "King of the Hill" game took place, and the city distribution turned out to be quite similar... The initial setup was questionable; with 112, a good starting position, a stable, Ciel + Grindan, I decided to check the second turn. I took the companion Necromancer, and next to him was a large Pandora with 20+ Ogres, which almost certainly meant a high-level Pandora, as 10k experience fits into 15-19 Ogres. I was hoping for magic! I left Grindan with 25 fairies to attack Hitran with an arrow for 80, and I ran further to harass the AI. Luckily, there was a well nearby. But on the second attempt, the Ogres attacked about 6 times at the worst possible moment, and Grindan went to the afterlife... :smile21: :smile05:. I didn't mourn for long, but instead turned Ciel and ran straight towards them. I could have defeated them, but she gained advanced intelligence and defense, and as a result, her base wisdom remained low. On the way, I stopped at an experience stone, a stable, killed some minor units, and visited the altar. I sold a cart of ore and 2 small artifacts, which helped a lot, although wisdom only became advanced, but as it turned out, that was enough! I got all level 4 spells! :smile54: :smile03:. At that moment, I took the AI's tower with a built-in lookout, which showed me a key resource in the treasure of my last AI for 50+ Djinns (due to the +6 defense shield). The birds barely stood up with a nearly full trade from 3 markets! On 121, I start with a stable, move to the swamp on 122, and manage to kill the Djinns (which wasn't difficult with 3 birds and an Armageddon on 480) and immediately move to the main base, where the 4th bird was waiting to be upgraded. On 123, a lucky hero appeared from the prison, using Meteorite with 80 mana. After picking up the key resource, I immediately grabbed mini-hives (this treasure was depleted), passed everything back, and on the way to the swamp respawn, I took another relic for 8 Vipers, losing one of them. Ciel replenishes mana at the well and jumps to the castle respawn to the opponent (we had seen each other since the first week; lookouts were located near the walls between these respawns). There, I immediately grab a Pandora for 15 gray bears for 10k experience, grab advanced fire, which significantly strengthens the Armageddon, and with 4 birds, I proudly spend the night in the middle of the field. No one attacked, and I found Galtran, who had taken a tier 3 consulate and, with a rather impressive army of 6 Dread Knights, 3 Angels, 250 Skeletons, and the rest of the growth, decided to wait for me. After another jump, I had enough mana for 2 Armageddons and an arrow, which was more than enough to end the battle, during which none of the birds were damaged. Ciel flawless victory! :smile51:. As it turned out, this was the first consulate out of four (I was lucky :smile13:). Thank you for the game.
I wasn't expecting it; on the contrary, I understood that there was an Armageddon there 99%. I just didn't have enough mana after taking the first consulate to move to the crypt. There was a chain on the castle, where there were two more consulates. I don't know if it would have helped; it depended on their contents.
Thank you for the game!
