Pros Delayed Adjeking's Large City Raided Glass Circle to delay Glass Dragon for a little bit Incredibly strong Economy
Cons Didnt get to that Glas Citadel in time Lost Elder Glass Dragon
T1-309 Tips You did everything almost flawlessly, but I think that you could have won this if you would have noticed that Glass Citadel earlier, and if you could have kept pressure on those Circles, and of course not losing a Elder Glass Dragon fully upgraded helps to stay in the game

Pros Spamming for you life Glass Prison saved you a few times in this game Very Strong Economy Evocation Spamming Ceasefire saved your Dragon
Cons Delayed Large City for a little bit Whirl Wind almost worked out for you
T1-309 Tips You played amazingly, I really had a hard time pointing out cons in this game, and the only ting that held you back from dominating earlier, was ATRF delayed your Large City, and he also raided your Circle of Glass. So maybe if this happens to you again, you can figure a way to get your opponent away from your Capital and any Circles that you may have.
Game Summary This game started almost symmetrical with every thing being built at exactly the same time (or close) to the opponent. So to change that, ATRF attacked Adjeking's capital, to delay that Large City, and with that delaying, ATRF supplied pressure, but Adjeking pushed through this and evened out the game. The most of this game was back and forth, with either army being crippled after each battle, and it was sorta hard to tell who was going to win until Elder Glass Dragons are fighting at ATRF's capital, and ATRF's Glass Dragon fell from the skies. This game was def. one of the best games I have watched!

Hey guys, this is my first post. I watched the game, and it was really intense, and I was hoping I could comment on it. I noticed that ATRF had his caravan going to a fallen refuge while adjking had his going to transmuter, which he aquired in around 4-5 minutes. He had it unmolested while ATRF didnt get his for another ten minutes or later. Thats 400 free minerals that could have tipped the scales. Also, adjking got shifting sands which made his glass dragon 425 and 1360, while ATRF's was 500 and 1600. All of his units were cheaper too. considering you both got dragons, and produced so many expensive units like golems and sand dragons, it seems like the upgrade is well worth it.
I dont think I could come close to beating either of you, but if you shift your caravans to resource neutrals, and get shifting sands early, potentially before your first sand dragons, that could be a game winner. You guys have been playing alot longer though, so if i'm crazy let me know.
well it seems like in a really close even game like that, its going to be difficult for one person to get the absolute upper hand, so when you invested in that, you eventually could just overwhelm him. In a game where both players are so good, like you two, the whole unit cost reduction, or switching caravan destinations seems to be a key. In your games in the tournament i noticed a simliar trend.
ya, you mean Alternative? Or is that someone else, atrf, I remember when you made a secret account, and I told you I thought it was you, you remember that? And like the next day, everyone found out? remember? But ya, atrf has played a LOT of games. a lot.
Heeh, you mean my mr. Synesthia account. Actually no one knew until I told because I got a RoTW. . Pretty sure I could have gone on forever without that account and not been found out, simply because I never played vinci before so no one could think, "thats how ruins plays vinci!" .
I actually have 3-4 fifty + game accounts now that i think about it . lol.
figured you might like that, hey atrf, not to be off topic, but your gonna have to show me a decent vinci mirror game (me vs. you), ive never played them, so ya. Man I remember reviewing this game. It was crazy, its all I thought about, was how people could play so perfectly.
