GG, thanks for the game! After the resets, 8mm6a rolled, blue had excellent roads, but literally on day 3, I got attacked by 40 Necropolis wolves with a Citadel upgrade, the creatures split into 2 stacks, my main hero immediately retreated, used Sorrow, and took out minus thirty Trolls. And then the divine sucking began. An army of 30 Troglodytes and 7 Evil Eyes went to fight. The computer still captured the Castle by the end of the week, and left a Necropolis hero there with a small army in the Citadel. The computer, a rare bastard, split the Elves into single units and killed the Necropolis hero on a sliver, leaving 8 Dwarf Cottages. I lost a ton of tempo and all the Troglodytes on that, in the end by week 1 day 7 I had only 6 Evil Eyes left from the army. Luckily, I found a quest artifact guarded by 19 Harpies and 50 Centaurs. On the second week, a Miner arrived; after fully buying out, I had a choice — try to dive into a level 3-4 Griffin Conservatory without Oil with 120 Troglodytes, 70 Centaurs, 10 Elves, and 20 Evil Eyes, or dive into the center. I chose the second option, and there were two block guards, Monks and 100 Flies. I turned around and decided to dive into a Treasury; if I more or less broke through the Demons, on the other side there were 10+ Sultans. Nothing to be done, the daddies went to collect Dwarf Cottages deep in the computer's respawn. On day 1 month 2 week 1, a level 3 Griffin Conservatory dropped, then I went to the center to break the blocks, finding a level 2 Griffin Conservatory and 4 Dragon Fly Hives there, all comfortably cleared; by this time I already had a level 5 Mage Guild in the Rampart, but neither Dimension Door nor Town Portal showed up. I threw forces into rebuilding, map scouting, and collecting meaty objects. After the 3rd attempt, I rebuilt the Resurrection spell (Town Portal still wasn't granted), and in the middle of week 4 I went to take Dragon Utopias on the computer's respawn. From a level 3 and a max, I only got Wings and 4 Angel Feathers from two artifacts. At that moment, the opponent with superior stats and a huge stack of Skeletons went on the attack; I had to give him my main town and all cities except one, and retreat to a corner Treasury, where I found another level 1 Griffin Conservatory and a max Dragon Utopia with 10 Angel Feathers and a Helm of the Alabaster. The opponent flies in to crush me, but got scared and Town Portaled away; I pushed back the Rampart, planning to recapture all cities at once, but didn't have enough timer. I see the opponent sitting in my main town, and I got tired of running back and forth, so I decided to attack myself with 35% resistance; unfortunately, not a single Spell Scroll with Implosion dropped. 160 mana against 400, and his Spell Power is 34 against my 17. And there are 1200 Skeletons. The battles were even. Well, I could have kept running, jumping, and hopping — retaking cities back and forth, leveling my Necromancers and Necromancing with the Cape, but I didn't feel like it; I decided to trust in resistance, but it was still suicide. However, the resistance procced nicely — in round 1 on half the stacks, in round 2 on 4 out of 4 :D If Spell Power had been equal with Implosion, I might have crushed it.
The final was unpleasant, but the army decided it. Thanks for the game!
