Пандора
Auto-translated
Today, the game between Pandora and ZYbr concluded. The final battle ended with Pandora's victory.
The game was played on the "Equilibris" version, on the Battle in the Dungeon map, with a Master difficulty level.
The game lasted 4 months, 1 week, and 3 days.
Pandora - Might (Barbarian),
ZYbr - Death (Undead)
My starting hero was the Barbarian, Kuusinen, whom I later leveled up to Warlord level 21 (+10 to melee attack). He also had many other skills:
- Warfare, Melee Combat, Ranged Combat, Magic Resistance - Grandmaster (i.e., Level V);
- Scouting and Stealth - Advanced (Level II);
- Diplomacy and Mining - Advanced, Treasure Hunting - Basic (Level I);
- Tactics - Basic.
On the 30th day, I hired a female Barbarian to accompany my macho hero, so we'd have something to do during breaks while traveling. I leveled up Lania to General level 19 (army morale +1):
- Warfare, Melee Combat, Magic Resistance - Grandmaster (i.e., Level V);
- Tactics - Expert (Level III), Attack - Basic, Defense and Leadership - Advanced.
In the very end, there was also Lord Paul, level 6 :smile52:
ZYbr had a total of 4 heroes:
- two lords, levels 7 and 9;
- Battle Mage (Order + Warfare), level 20, Voron;
- Lich, level 19, Antikainen (also his starting hero).
Well, what can I say... Surprisingly, the Barbarians won not by numbers :smile42: Throughout the game, ZYbr had more troops than me, and in the end, he also had more wealth (unsurprisingly, with two lords). I managed to capture the second castle much faster than my opponent, but I hesitated for a long time before deciding to rebuild it. However, the course of the game dictated its reconstruction. And despite having two castles, I couldn't match the number of troops.
In the final battle, the following forces met:
- on my side: two of my heroes, 37 Thunderbirds, 46 Cyclops, 131 Harpies, 254 Centaurs, and 693 Berserkers;
- on the opponent's side: two heroes, 18 Bone Dragons, 1 Devil, 61 Vampires, 332 Ghosts, and 1,453 Skeletons (all Imps were converted into Skeletons).
My victory was helped by Lania's well-developed Tactics and some good artifacts. :smile49:
In conclusion, I want to say THANK YOU to ZYbr for a good and long game. It was challenging... we had problems with time and connection, but we overcame them.
P.S. Regarding the game with Arandor. I spent TOO much time, effort, and bandwidth on this game... so I don't intend to leave it unfinished. In general, we agreed on the next Saturday (since he couldn't today), and here is the time when I can play:
weekends (any time), weekdays before 11 am, and from 8:30 pm to 1:00 am
