Lopetos (Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def invisible (Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 226
It so happened that I won on maps I didn't like, but lost on my favorite map :(, and got crushed at that. Overall, I played terribly, I don't even feel like uploading the saves.
The plan for the game was extremely simple: on day 121, take two rust dragons for 10 black knights, and on day 127 attack the enemy's castle while collecting all the artifacts along the way. But as usual :), I attacked them on day 122, and on top of that the 10 knights were still too much for young Tazar, so I fled after killing 8 out of 10. I immediately rebought, finished them off with gnolls and magic, and went to the center through the Phoenixes. There were two hydra dwellings on the central island. You'd think — what more could you need for complete happiness — 6 hydras per week :eek: . No, I was still set on a rush. Oh well. I greedily eat all the goodies across all three islands with five heroes, while Tazar continued along the planned route. On the lower island, I found a shield +4 to all skills. And imagine how you can throw away such a seemingly unwinnable setup. Well, I know how :D . On day 134, I killed 3 black dragons and didn't make it 5 tiles to Kyrre, whose eyes were popping out in surprise. He immediately fled, then took his rust dragons and attacked me. I had a shooter on day 120, but zero mana :) After trading troops (I lost almost all of mine, Kyrre only a part) and killing one dragon each, I cowardly fled.
After that, I took both hydra dwellings and went visiting again the next week. On day 147, I attacked Lopetos's castle. That was my cardinal mistake, which cost me the game :smile15: . In that battle, I traded 5 hydras, 1 rust dragon, and the rest of my army for 1 rust dragon and some minor troops of the opponent. I could have retreated earlier, but I wanted to finish off the dragon. I finished it off to my own detriment. After that, I saw that Kyrre already had gold dragons and I wasn't playing anymore, just going through the motions, especially after he took both hydra dwellings from me. Then the opponent finished off what I hadn't, specifically I left both Pandora's Boxes for experience. The finale was purely a formality. Mass Slow and shooting on the spot. The opponent had 7 gold dragons, 13 unicorns, and the rest of the army, while I had 9 plain hydras and some chaff. Stats by then were roughly equal.
Thanks for the game. It turned out to be a very dynamic game.
P.S. Just think what 24 hydras a month could have done, despite the opponent's better development. Eh :mad:
Reluctantly, I'm uploading the saves. I'm ashamed of such a game. But nevertheless, Lopetos played well and developed better. Congratulations! :smile49:
