Outlaw 3!

Sold the Castle and color for 5600; it was nice to start as a Shaktar with such a good deal :)

On day 1, I got 2 secondary towns, on day 117, I gathered a bunch of ifrits and teleported them. Shaktar was leveling up like a god: logistics, diplomacy, earth magic. On day 121, I had Mass Slow and 50 mana, I took almost without losses a tier 3 consultant, on the next turn I took a max-level consultant, a chest for experience, which I used to level up diplomacy, 15 master genies, and 40 gargoyles from Pandora. I got another Castle and boots with a ring of speed.
I reached the snow treasure, and there was a well-developed Ryland with group uniques and a lot of resources; the opponent surrendered.

Thank you for the game!

In the first week, I was constantly ahead of my opponent, both in the number of towns and in the strength of the army (thanks to the color and fort) until day 121 (until the first tier 3 consultant for Shaktar). On day 122, I took 10+ bears for cartography and great artifact. Ryland was leveling up mediocrely; on the second day, he joined 17 snipers and 12 group vasas. He tried to get to the treasure near the Castle and the Volcano, even took a passfight for the snow, although the guards there were tough, and then Shaktar came, and that was the end.

Is it worth paying for Ryland against Shaktar on Anarchy, and how much? Maybe it was worth giving up the color to choose the rest; blue still has an advantage.

But Shaktar (156 troglodytes) on day 111 with 3k experience, logistics, and diplomacy is already a game-ender.

Thank you for the game! Good luck in the future!

Thanks to Koste for the tournament. I usually play Anarchy, but I played a couple of games, and it was fun.
