On day 117, I surfaced, used stables to get a Necro secondary, clicked the Mage Guild to replenish mana. Picked up a couple of crypts along the way. Home has 1-3 with mushrooms.
121 - Shakti broke through his third adjacent zone via a portal.
122 - found a 2-4 Griffin Conservatory on the opponent's territory. Broke through to the same opponent from the other side with Brissa, took a Dragon Fly Hive for 4 wyverns.
123 - took out the purple opponent, then Shakti entered the Conservatory after checking it. Level 3, lost all wyverns, 120+ troglodytes, and 15 Evil Eyes.
124 - Conservatory is minimal.
125 - took a Dungeon town. Shakti got Air magic, Brissa got Intelligence.
126 - Brissa, with 3 angels, took a level 2 Conservatory. Built Mage Guild level 5 in Necro, got Earth Elemental. On level 4, I had Berserker and Resurrection.
127 - Dimension Door in Necro. Teleported Brissa there. Shakti runs to the green opponent. From artifacts in 2 weeks, only found +2 spell power.
132 - never made it to the green opponent; Brissa entered a snowy treasure zone, picked up Boots, a box of 40 Gargoyles, and a Dragon Fly Hive for 6.
133 - quest artifact and boxes for 5k experience and all Earth magic. Gave me Cure)
134 - another quest artifact, then Town Portal to the nearest one. Chained back to return quest artifacts, got 15 Master Mages and 20 Genies.
135 - returned to the snow, took a level 1 Dragon Utopia with a Red Orb and Cloak of Undead King (just right for a mage!). And an armor piece giving +1 to all stats. Still no stats.
136 - Shakti took with Dimension Door the Rampart town that was blocked by a treasure zone guard in the first week. There, I took a mini-Cyclops dwelling, a level 3 Conservatory, and an external dwelling of Green Dragons. Galthran clearly has better stats than mine + lots of gold; I realize the Dragon Utopia he took was also better than mine.
137 - took a Sword +2 Attack and Defense; before that, a chest gave a Shield +2. At least something. Then picked up a quest artifact and immediately turned it in, got 15k experience for Coronius, leveled up Earth magic (first Earth magic in the whole game! Still no Logistics on anyone). Brissa broke through to a prison in the treasure zone and took a Hive for 8 Wyverns.
141 - went through Dimension Door into the next treasure zone, there's a prison with Pikedram level 5 and Shackles of War. Then a max-Hive. Made a double-mana home for Shakti.
142 - picked up Golden Bow, Orb of Air, Helm +3 in the treasure zone, then a level 2 Dragon Utopia with Tome of Air and Tome of Fire. Town Portal with Brissa to the nearest one, Coronius picked up meat there and transferred it to Shakti; jumped with him into the same treasure zone and picked up Boots and a Sword +6.
142 blue - Galthran kills my Aine, who was standing on patrol near the passage to one of the opponents he killed.
143 - I place Caitlin at Aine's spot. Shakti took a Necklace +3 spell power and knowledge. Finally got Earth magic. I move Brissa to the other side near the opponent's adjacent zone.
143 blue - An enemy Elleazar cuts down Caitlin and casts Town Portal.
144 - Shakti took an experience box and a Hive for 6 Wyverns. Earth magic experience, Town Portaled home, placed an Artifact Merchant, sold scrolls and other junk for 22k, transferred the army to Brissa; she, with 2 Dimension Doors, takes a Stronghold town. Spent about 15k on heroes for scouting from there. Then Brissa crashes against nearby Gremlins, and I move the army away with Shakti via Town Portal. Place Ciele at Caitlin's spot.
144 blue - Galthran, with Dimension Door as his last step, reaches the town, captures it but can't sit inside.
145 - Coronius, via Dimension Door, transfers the army to Ciele, who wasn't killed; she, with Dimension Door, reaches the important blue Inferno (formerly brown). There are 2 heroes there, Luna with meat and Marusya inside; with the Red Orb, I kill both (they were basically zero anyway, but I didn't want to risk it). Ciele gets Earth magic, but it doesn't matter anymore.
I crash Brissa (upgraded) into the Inferno, take the army, and after 2 Dimension Doors, reclaim the Stronghold town. Check Gosha for Shackles, Orb, and mana amount; nothing, only 30 mana. I decide to change everything and attack with Brissa at around 200 mana. Shakti upgraded 12 Medusas, bought a Shield +4 and Ring of Speed. Brissa took the Arena with Fly and attacked.
Positioned in the corner, blocked the shooters. Immediately cast Mass Slow with Mass Curse on the angels; the shooters on the Efreeti. I got hit by 2 Meteors, painful, but the angels weren't hit. In the second round, I finished off the Efreeti with Lightning Bolt and killed the angels with my own.
Then just a few Implosions on the Pit Lords and 1 on the Demons; had the Shackles equipped. Very tough game, haven't seen such bad level-ups in a long time; not a single hero got Logistics in the entire game, and only on the 4th week did two heroes get Earth magic for the first time. Thanks for the game!
