12.01.2014 Ominous1 (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Dima Surmay (blue, Necropolis, Clavius, Galthran), 8mm6a, 216

The first 3 weeks I was running around as a scout with 1700 movement points on long roads looking for something. Found a few Dragon Fly Hives and that was it. By the fourth week I built two guilds, got Dimension Door, and chances appeared. The scout used Dimension Door to jump over the mountains into some treasure zone where a Dragon Utopia was visible. I collected 2 Dragon Utopias there, Dragon Fly Hives, and a Griffin Conservatory, which gave me stats and control. At the start of month 2 I took another Dragon Utopia at the respawn of the pink player, which gave me a Spellbinder's Hat. The scout with good stats was showing as top 1 in power in the tavern, so I decided to catch the opponent with Shackles of War. On day 216 I trapped Galthran, in the final battle both had high-level magic, but Shakti had 400+ mana versus Galthran's 170, the opponent didn't have enough mana for Berserk/Blindness/Resurrection.
Thanks for the game.

12.01.2014 ProtosArchon (Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def shpilenger (Tower, Aine, Aislinn) 8mm6a, 1.4.4

Started with wolfs prebuild and observatory near town. First day i saw roc dwell, boots and cons in my area so i did not spend any restarts. But my map had little gold and i struggled wk1 with build. Managed to build only rocs with citadel but i took dwell and green was dungeon so i had POS as well.
Wk2 start i wanted to buy all army and take cons. But had not enough gold so i was forced to attack 20 naga bank with weak army and lost there all wolfs and 5 rocs. Next day i came near cons with 15 t-birds and remaining army but cons was full and i was forced to go back. I took boots and decided to go in another areas to gain strenght, but after i entered into middle opponent came with stronger army and cut my way back.
Wk3 i spent in search for cons/hives/utopias while opponent made strategic mistake and go for my town. He did not gained much strength by the end of week and that gave me a time to take 1st utopia. It was good with SOJ and bliss but no dd/fly/tp. Next day i saw Aislinn using fly so i surrender my army attacking purple and go back in another area for 2nd tope. That one was useless and i decided to go for 3rd utopia hoping to get fly/dd there. But opponent took it next turn and then made fatal mistake, leaving Aislinn with 4 t-birds only. I attacked and killed him next turn and opponent gave up. Thx for game.

I don't understand how anyone could get to the point of using Jebus. :)

I don't even know what you can use the Tower for here without taking damage against the Necropolis. By the way, it was quite possible to compete with the Ogre in this setup, with Titans and cursed armor against legions of skeletons.

Of course, it's not painless to play any faction, but Jebus is clearly the worst option. On other large maps, you can at least summon a lot of skeletons yourself. On small maps, try to kill the Necromancer early. But with Jebus, it's hard to say what you can expect.

Let's shake things up a bit among the participants.

Let's give these participants a little nudge.

I suggest punishing such people so that they won't do it again next time. I have nothing against specific people, but it seems some people enjoy it when the organizer sends them another message on ICQ and asks, "How are you doing?" The organizer apparently has plenty of time. So, a punishment for disrespecting the organizer. :smile06:
