Tiamath (blue,Dung,Gunnar,Gunnar) def Britvo4ka (red,ramp,Ivor,Ivor) Jebus 127
Two restarts 113 my and 111 Britvo4ka.
Good start with Shak in tavern + 3xtrogs, marketplace 4 steps from town, 2 firebirds in refugee and stables + advence log for Gunnar day 1. On first look starting zone was average 1x 1-6 lev dwells (two 4 level), 3 hives and 1 tope, but ther were 2 boxes with army 15 upg minos and 30 upg harpies and 1 with exp 5k. Gunnar get all need it skills (earth,off,path from hut). Road to desert was pretty nice - 1 whole Gunnars move with stables, lake and weel. In first week collected all dwells, boxes, 1-6 + POS without citadel and decide/preper for break in 122 with full move (i saw drag dwell in Britv area which he didnt take it yet and thanks to thiefs guild i already know he had some other drag dwell - green in day 5). In 122 with 2 birds, 11 mantis, 27 minos, 100 trogs, 22 eyes, 30 hags and 20 medusas kill horde efrees, then 100 upg monks with +4+4 armor, 9 gold drags for box with exp, shield +4 and 4 angels in cons. Thanks to viev earth and viev air i had some viev on map and Britv moves. In 125 after take some stuff from middle - gladius, sentinels shield, saint shoos, red orb, air orb and air book - i decide to clean whole desert before Britv entrance. I also count on catch his main without army or scout with army. Thanks to Gunnars long move i get judgment sword, lion shield, angel wings, titans armor and two 20-30 level heroes. After spent 2/3 Gunnars move i get to Britv zone guard and behinde him Ivor with 7 Gold drags and 3 splited angels. I decide to attack. Ther was another option - retreat for arts which gives me Angelic. With stats 17 31 and red orb against 13-12 ther was little chance to lose (maybe some luck with morale - he had +3m and +2 luck). Till this moment i had 4 angels, 3 hydras, 19 minos, 1+6 scorpicors, 20 eyes and 20 medusas. Britv rebuy with 3 golds, i lost 3 angels 5 minos and 1 scorpicore. In 126 i take with scout lefted main town, kill some scouts from Britv and after secure area i back to middle desert to collect stuff for angelic, life elixir, build up desert fortress for hydras (3 dwells taked)
and collect wiws from hives. In 127 Britv kill my scout but he didnt retake his main town. I was gonna transport army ( 30 wiws colected) and attack him but he give up. He still had 7 golds and some other stuff but ther was no chance to won in this point. Concluding i make the best thing i could - fast break. 1 day later and Britv would have comparable stats (+5 and +4 all, +12 spell power) angel wings, wizard hut and whole army (11 goldies!!!). Would be very hard to beat him. I had not bad start but Britvs starting zone was great - 4 drag dwells (two just 1 day from main town), 2 uni dwells, 1 elves, 4 conses with 10+angels, some hives and 3 topes. If i saw correctly he finished first week with 3 drag dwells and 1-7 in town!!!.
Thx for good game.
P.S. My long moves was effect of great move Gunnar, not so strong army (just 1 power stack) and use 10-12 heroes each turn. Still 90% of time were battles.
