Great company.

Sold Tanta for 2500, bought a creature dwelling for 1900. On the first map I felt like surrendering because I played extremely sloppily. Took 111 on the last step as my native town, and then started making mistakes left and right. By the end of the week, my army consisted of 33 skeletons. I couldn't even break through 20-49 gr. Dwarves on an important adjacent zone. However, 121 turned everything around. One of the heroes in the tavern turned out to be Grigory, even if with just 1 skeleton – oh well :rolleyes:. Klavik took a max Dwarf Cottage, yielding 180+ skeletons, and I got some money. Then I sacrificed skeletons on archers, but the game was already simple. On the second map, I leveled up Gosha, captured the comp's Castle, scouted everything needed. 131 started with a Griffin Conservatory-3 next to stables. Then I went into a convenient treasure zone, where I gathered some ducks and in the first Dragon Utopia got a Cap + Armor. Also found a mega-bonus in the form of a prison with Alamar lvl 10, which let me take down Dragon Utopias without losses. 142 – the most crucial turn. I spent a long time calculating movement points on replays and through 2DD took Denis's capital with Gosha, where a fully upgraded mage guild was already built. Defeated Eshlinn with earth magic, gathered army across the map, made archers, fully utilizing the artifact machine. Another mistake here – both Gosha and Eshlinn ran out of movement points exactly to 0 in the castle. Had to spend the night with Gosha in the garrison and Eshlinn at the gate. My stats (thanks to artifacts) and army were stronger, and I also had a cloak against high magic, but still, taking a fight with a lvl 4 hero was nerve-wracking. Got lucky, thankfully Dan revealed the only exit road from the one-way portal and couldn't reach me to attack. Next turn, Gosha gained 1000+ mana (Intelligence) in a dungeon and became completely unkillable, leading to surrender. Dan played significantly better here – pure luck on my side, I didn't even plan to build a mage guild, everything just fell into my lap. Ashamed of such victories. Thanks for the game!
