Map: "Plains of Despair"
Lu41k played as Nature (blue color)
LeSHiJ-MaX played as Chaos (red color)
During the game, I bet on the speed of building Wizards (which turned out to be quite successful). On the 7th day of the first week, the "Dragon Cave" was already built, which was facilitated by the Thief's ability :rolleyes:. By the end of the seventh day, Lu41k had built the "Griffin Roost". However, I was only able to buy it on the 6th day of the second week. Lu41k, in my opinion, was unsure how to deal with the treasure chests and didn't touch them yet. In this game, I wanted to try playing with two Wizards, and since I was given a Thief at the beginning, I had to spend a few days and money on the second mage. In the end, I didn't like the experiment because I didn't have a fighter, only Wizards, and I didn't have time to upgrade their "Martial Arts" skill, which almost cost me the main hero in the decisive battle in the early stages. The map had guarded one-way portals leading to the enemy territory (one for each player); I had a Thief guarding the exit, and Lu41k had a Fairy.
When I accumulated 5 Wizards, I decided to attack the guard of my portal. I almost lost the Wizards because the neutral hero had very interesting artifacts: Great Mage's Crown, War Shackles, Guardian Robe, Dragon Armor, Staff of Power, and the most interesting and dangerous artifact for me, the "Ring of Great Negation." If the neutral hero had attacked my Wizards instead of my heroes, I could have lost 3 or even all of them (and the shackles wouldn't have even allowed the heroes to escape :D). It's a pity that after killing the neutral, I only got "Dragon Armor" from the artifacts :(.
Then, with my main heroes, I took my second city, and I positioned the groups of Thieves (who passed by the Fairy guarding the exit) so that I could defeat all the Fairies standing in important places in one turn. While doing this, I scouted the area and saw that Lu41k's main heroes were on the other side of the river. I didn't delay and went on the offensive. First, I defeated the Fairies, then I captured the city with the Phoenixes and Mantis that were bought there, but without any heroes :rolleyes:.
Next, I encountered the main army. Lu41k had "Theritos" - a level 8 general, and "Vianna" - a level 8 druid. I had 2 "Fire Elementals" - level 12, Fiona, and Leshy :D, and as I wrote above, I almost lost my main heroine, "Fiona," right away. If Lu41k had managed to bring an army from the castle, I would have lost with only 5 Wizards.
P.S. Thank you, Lu41k, for the interesting and educational game :smile20:.
Nature is indeed a powerful faction:smile10: :smile43:
