I think I should just win the tournament if I manage to win this match!

Goldstein day 5

Things are getting interesting.

Yesterday I captured berlin, and today my new frog took
one of O'Brian's towers on his island. Gave me a pretty good view.

The presence of frogs is most annoying....

We look forward to the Frost Witch

Goldstein day 7

Moving closer to O'Briens capitol.

Spotted O'Briens floating hero and his group of fighters to the north of my nomad village. Wonder what he will do next.

Goldstein day 8

The frost witch gave me some solid ice to pass over to O'Briens capitol. O brien himself was holding his position even though he must have seen the end coming.
All my offensive troops could join the battle, so the outcome was unquestionable. O brien was defeated.

Very poor performance by me, and great job Costa!

Good luck for the rest of the tournament.

What? Already??

This was an exciting game to follow, but I guess this map is quite... straight to the point!
Anyway, congratulations to both, in particular to the winner Costa!

Thanks. I was hoping for a quick win. I was expecting to meet O'Briens offensive troops on the way, but he took the sea way in the north of the map. My way was shorter, and there was not much defenderes left in the capitol.
Funny map. Quick and a lot of randomness. Leaving a lot of the strategy to be decided during the turn.

Swolte, that's a great question:

Firstly, I'd like to note that I anticipate a better showing in my remaining two matches....in particular, I have a goal of lasting more than 10 turns!

Regarding this map, I took a circular path toward Costa, he took a straight path towards me. Straight is faster! I've aways struggled with straight lines....
