I started building the tower at the end of the first week, but first got Dimension Door on the 5th try. 3 Griffin Conservatories minimum, but I see a treasure zone on the sands and there are Boots and +5 All. After getting Dimension Door, I took the enemy's Castle and jumped into the treasure zone. Just then, the opponent rushed in - first took the Tower village (Mage Guild in Conflux), then the Castle. With my last scraps, after 4-5 tries I finally get Town Portal and start to fight back, fortunately my stats are higher and the opponent is afraid of me, so I started taking back towns, having only fast Indra and Grindan. At one point I reach the enemy's Tower, where there is a Mage Guild, because I need Battle Magic and Fly. But there, Miriam with a full purse sits in the garrison. From magic I only have Ceasefire and all Fire (Expert Fire). There are 18 Behemoths, while I mostly have other units (36 Dragons, 24 Cyclopes, 8 Behemoths). Elementary Anti-Magic counters me. I decide to attack regardless, because a delay might not be in my favor. I attack - stats there have increased (around 20) and become equal to mine. Wait - there's Protection from Earth :smile52: In response, I give Protection from Fire and on the second round I cast Armageddon for 720 (Expert Resistance there). Then I get Slayer, Implosion. At one point, I have a bit more meat left, which is enough through Haste to finish off with Armageddon by a hair :smile20:
P.S. The post-mortem showed that Zhenya rebuilt the mage guild level 3 this turn and didn't get Anti-Magic :confused:
I thank the gods of randomness and Evgeny for the game!
Thanks for the game.
