The second month of running around Jebus Cross was underway, all respawns had been explored, all Dragon Fly Hives taken, and almost all Dragon Utopias. Stats were roughly equal, although Goshanya's spell power was off the charts at 41. But they had Knight's Shield and 15 black dragons, as well as 27 Grand Nagas, 40 Wyverns, and 4 angels. I had 90 Wyverns, 10 angels (which upgraded to Archangels the next turn), 15 Grand Necro Dragons, and 300 skeletons.
We played to the point where the opponent captured my main, and I captured their main and all their villages. They also took the center from me, even though I had collected almost everything there. In short, we swapped respawns ))
But a direct encounter somehow never happened, due to early control on both sides. We jumped around castles, but neither dared to attack the other.
My mistake was that when I entered the center earlier (on day 122), I didn't leave a guard in the center castle. The opponent's scout hero captured it, and Shakti ate a couple of Dragon Utopias, since Shakti already had Town Portal. Of course, I quickly retook the center castle, and I should have gone after the opponent — I was ahead in meat and stats. But lacking experience, I decided to stay longer in the center, which allowed the opponent to develop intense activity on a neighboring respawn. And there I could no longer catch them. Well, in short, Shakti caught up in stats and meat, and we decided not to torture ourselves and agreed to a draw.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. Goshanya leveled up like a god, shame they got Water as the last slot instead of Air.
Confirmed. A tough cat-and-mouse game; I decided to play it out because of an easy Drake dwelling discovered on day 111, but then it turned out not so great — Shakta got Air instead of Earth, few Dragon Fly Hives and all mini ones; took a chest for 9 upgraded Necro Horses, and there was magic, meaning I didn't get anything (wanted 10K experience). In the end, I went to the respawn on day 22 with 22 wyverns and 6 drakes, 90 Necro Horses, and then 90 upgraded Efreets from 2 chests as a second respawn. All of this was survived by 5 drakes and 17 wyverns; luckily, 10 Nagas from a chest also dropped in. And somewhere the opponent, who got control earlier and had oil and a good army, of course didn't finish me off. At the point when we agreed to a draw, I managed to take the main from the center on a Bolt respawn. Immediately inserted wyverns under upgrade. The very next turn I was going to cast Armageddon under Knight's Shield. Post-game analysis showed that on the Bolt respawn, there was also the missing part for Angel of the Death and Griffin Conservatories 3+4 on the road. In general, at the moment of agreeing to the draw, I was already in a promising position — even without Angel of the Death, next turn another 6 Nagas upgraded and 40 Genies from 2 chests, and under Armageddon: 45 Monks, 80 Genies, 15 Chaos Dragons, 33 Naga Queens, 8 upgraded Cats, and 4 Angels. Could have tried to fight the opponent's 10 Archangels, 17 Bone Dragons, and 83 wyverns. But we decided not to tempt fate. A good game with mutual chances.
Thanks for the game!
