Game #591 | Jean vs Fist

lol Fist
Yeah, roamers killing a stack can be quite devastating on a game, and especially more so in a duel where you can't really make any mistake as the game won't last long.

Yeah it was an interesting match.

I went supergreedy on turn 10 or so splitting my forces to speed up and clear a site without scouting properly... and didn't see a stack of independents roaming around that attacked my weakened stack killing a hero and two other summoned units in the process

At that point I knew I had to try and be bold to recover but when we made contact I saw you had already made peace with 5 independents so your scounting was vastly superior... and then you didn't even gave me time to recover :'(

I'd fancy a rematch but maybe after summer, bit swamped with stuff to do atm and don't want to disappoint Hiliadan with a slow pace

And thanks for the game, been a blast!

Fistandantilus beats you for the most handsome Leader though, and with a big margin!

It was a very fast game with just one small fight so I'm not gonna make a huge report here.
The matchup was interesting cause we both were 1) archidruids 2) settled in the underground. We had to compete in 1) scouting the map, especially the surface which was full of interesting objects and resources 2) training tier-1 animals and evolving them 3) building a good economy. I guess we both didn't want an early confrontation so nothing really happened before turn 25. 

I got a very strong start with 2 druid-heroes and started to hunt down spiders in ruins and little serpents guarding nodes. I managed to befriend 2 spiders, summon 2 more and in the end I got 4 tier-3 spiders and 1 tier-4 serpent. Everything went perfect here.

Actually, in my opinion the key to this particular game was scouting. Here I managed to perform better than Fist.
Take a look at our relationship with main cities and dwellings of the map:




This gave me a huge advantage in the economy. 
In general, the situation in the UG was this:


I was slowly going to Fist through the south part of the map, I later spotted his leader here:


He killed my gryphon but at least I got the idea where he was - and rushed there will all the forces I had. At the same time his second army which he had been concealing very well from my scouts attacked my central UG dwelling (I wasn't prepared for it). It was a painful strike on my economy but later everything turned out to be very good cause this army couldn't defend Fist in his domain.

When I came there I managed to catch him with half of my forces and that was enough.

Match has been reported, please confirm!

Hey, it looks like I managed to come to your domain exactly when your 2 stacks led by heroes were far away in the center of the UG. I didn't know that actually, otherwise I would have tried to defend my dwelling in the center of the map. Your appearance there was a surprise for me. 
I was just heading to your empire with all main forces cause I considered them to be enough to at least have some good chances to win the "grand" battle. Was lucky. GG.
Do you want a rematch?

P.S. Hili, I'm a sportsman, I don't even drink alcohol  I'm only for the healthy way of living!
