Started in Dungeon. Near the castle, I found a stash of Gogs and Demons; there were also 2 more stashes of Imps, but they were very far away. The beginning was difficult: I didn't have enough money. Also, the only path led to a 6000-value passage with multiple guards. By the end of the week, I broke through, captured a swamp village. Built Ifrits in the citadel. At the beginning of the second week, I jumped into a teleport to the Inferno lands on the surface, broke through the prison, and reached a fork in the road without guards (around day 123). I realized that Blue had been here, so I ran further and didn't quite make it to Blue's castle village in one move.
Kirr attacks. Stats: 4 8. 2 dragons, 5 unicorns, 10 pegasi, 16 elves, 20 centaurs. Expert tactics, ranged attack.
Arlash 12 8. 28 Gogs, 5 Ifrits, 16 Demons, 5 Air Elementals, 15 Sprites, 3 Pit Hags, 3 Imps, ballista. Expert attack.
No one has magic.
Due to a misclick (I accidentally pressed the spacebar on the Ifrits), the battle ends in a draw: I eliminate the dragons, pegasi, and unicorns, and buy off with 1 Ifrit and 8 Demons. Kirr retreats into the darkness.
I go all-in: I capture the castle, exchange for nothing at 3 markets, buy back Arlash and Ain (who had just been defeated) with mana and a ranged attack. Ain and her army chase after Kirr, catching up on the last move. After casting a spell on the elves, the opponent realizes that I have enough mana for everyone and buys off, after killing an Ifrit. On the next turn, he captures the castle, buys back Kirr, and finally kills Arlash (my main hero). Then he runs to my capital, but is defeated during the siege and flees.
I wanted to finish him off, but I chose the wrong direction three times, and then it was too late...
The result of the first two weeks of the game: I have no resources or money, no main hero, but a lot of troops in the castle and five heroes. Blue: has only one hero (Kirr), no troops, and no money.
This was the most interesting part =)
After that, the game turned into a grind and a war of attrition.
On day 217, the opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game! =)
See you! =)
Another aspect is that I took the 2nd level mine (142), but it turned out to be completely useless...
Thanks for the game
