It turned out Osric and this other guy (I can't remember his name) appeared. Beforehand, FatSmurf said that he wanted to try out invisibility, so he was going to try and win with just invisible mages and Blizzard. I said that I was going to win with air power only. We played Garden of War, I was yellow, FatSmurf was White, Osric was Red, and the other guy was purple.
So we are building up happily when all of a sudden the other guy drops. Leaving me, FatSmurf, and Osric. FatSmurf decided at that point to just hang out and watch. So he built 10 flying machines and setup cameras everywhere, just like TV. haha.
At this point, I have started about 4 Dragon roosts and am pumping out the Dragons. I had a couple zepplins flying around and noticed that Osric really didn't have too much. He had a couple of towers and some ground troops, but nothing that would stop a huge attack of Dragons. So I started sending them in.
After he repelled my first assault, he sent a zeppelin over my base and probably noticed that I had 0 guys and 4 Dragon roosts. Next thing I noticed, he has started pumping out archers and is making lots of towers.
Well...for the time being all those towers and archers were enough to protect his normal base, but he was short on gold. So I noticed he was trying to expand to blue. Well...as everyone knows, you can't really build and upgrade towers when you are getting attacked by a ton of Dragons...so his base eventually went down.
FatSmurf at this point is telling me all about how he is slaughtering his own guys. I guess he was having a lot of fun killing himself. I had told him to kill off all of purple's buildings, but I guess that wasn't enough fun for him.
After I killed Osric's 2nd base, I guess he decided to pump out some Death Knights with death and decay. That was a problem, because the game had a decent amount of lag, which means when he Death and Decays my Dragons, it takes forever to move them out of the way. So he ended up killing more Dragons than usual.
But I had the advantage, I had control of extra mines. I had expanded to the mine below me and had mines going in the center too. So even though Dragons are ridiculously expensive, I had enough money to keep my 4 roosts going full blast.
At this point, I saw that Osric was trying to expand to black. He already had a town hall, some barracks, about 3 or 4 archers, and some peons mining. But no towers, I guess he was short on resources or something. Well...I sent over about 15 dragons and took care of that. I know Dragons are pretty sucky, but 15 of them can do a lot of damage really fast. It was pretty funny seeing his town hall almost entirely surrounded by Dragons blasting away.
Well...after that, it pretty much boiled down to cleanup. He didn't have any resources, and after a bit of trouble, I hunted down his last couple Death Knights. Then I sent in masses of Dragons to finally kill off his guard towers. Osric kept asking who I was, but I decided to keep him happily in the dark.
To this day, he doesn't know. I'll give him a hint. No...neither of us was Shlonglor. :)
