Richard vs Loops

[Loops]

Game 2:
Richard (Human)
Loops (Human)
Map (Gold Mountain)

Richard and I rematched today. He went with a mix of monks and a prophet for expansion, and on this map it worked much better than my two prophet approach. He managed to convert the neutral corner city on my side of the map while I fell back on drawing a short-term income advantage from the mines in the middle. Most of the game played out with him having a 5 to 3 city advantage while I operated with a unit advantage and offset some of his extra income from the mines. At one point he tagged my mining prophet with two monks and a paladin, but the following round I was able to decimate his fighting forces. By the time he had to leave, he was down to one turn's worth of production in units, and I was about to start converting a couple of his cities.

All in all a very fun game - strategically quite different from our previous matchup. Hope to see you again later!
