I'm just not sure you understood the TDD gameplay correctly. This is evidenced, for example, by some rather strange scout hero choices — both in the 1st and 3rd weeks.

Taking Fortress against double-Stronghold is a questionable decision; even without statistics it should have been clear that a slow castle, geared towards Dragon Fly Hives and Dragon Utopias, is not very strong on a tempo template without them. And the statistics highlight that — 2 wins in 9 games.

On 111 I see a Griffin Conservatory and freed Jabarqas from prison with exp scrolls and some land. The papa issue is resolved. On 117 angels in the fort, decided to play around archangels. But as further scouting showed, this Griffin Conservatory was the only one. ГО through a portal 20-49 fens.

Spent the entire second week messing around with stuff like retrieving scrolls from zombies in the swamp. Got the cash for archangels, but there's no mercury anywhere at all. Opponent has it really bad. By 127 he had banked over an hour of time. We saved.

After a brief discussion in AS, the opponent decided not to continue. There was a blowout to 0 on 113 and then weak development afterward.

Thanks for the game.

10.01.2014 Maretti (red, castle, caitlin, gunnar) def Twaryna (blue, ramp, ivor) TDD 127

Pretty rich map with one min con and no good dwells which allowed me to make demons plus aas. The time limit dictated the game and on 126 it ran out with 1800 mp left on gunnar. I made 30 plus demons that day and killed 2 blocks plus some stuff in the desert. Luckily Twaryna had even bigger time problems and next day I caught him in the desert town. I had bigger army and better stats so no doubt about the result. Thanks for playing.

Is there an actual draw or is it just fastest player finds easiest opponent asap? Anyway, at least I expect Stinger to be willing to add a bit to the time limit, so we can get some higher quality.

Yur, I wrote to you on ICQ, we already started with The Losers.

Round 4 of the losers.

Started a long time ago, played for a week, the saves got lost. Started over, but the opponent wasn't lucky. Thanks for the game!

It happened, thanks for the game.

01/13/2014 Maretti (red, ramp, kyrre, charna) def = Stinger = (blue, flux, lacus, monere) TDD 131

Played with 17 7 2 which worked fine. Went with necro and dbl build since I had 2 necro artifacts. Lacked some gold though so didn't get much army from the 2nd ramp town. Elf and tree dwell taken week 1. Broke 125 through lots of devils and horde mantis, but had no problems since I had 500 plus skeletons with advanced haste and slow. Opponent was already in the T-area but it was pretty empty. He attacked and we had a very close battle. He had huge stacks of castle army including 6 angels, 120 marks, and 145 halberdiers. My 50 grand skeletons started out getting bad morale, so I was in pretty deep trouble having only advanced air, but managed somehow to win it. Opponent ran and attacked again. Again I could win it. Now he went for a con while I took his dung town and built guild 2 and then went for his main town. He took the con that gave 2 angels but couldn't get back, so I could take his town at 131 and he gave up. Thanks for playing.
