Nagan-4
Auto-translated
The game was played in advance, while waiting for the group tournaments to end.
Vitalic (s, Rampart, Kirry, Gunnar) def Nagan -4 (k, Dungeon, Shakti), 223.
Started on the very first try. Lucky to be born up top. In week 1, Shakti went out to wipe out everything within reach; as a result, a neutral Inferno was taken, the territory with the Dragon Utopia was spotted, and manticores were built with a Castle. Took a hive for 6 wyverns. Level 6 Shakti.
In the second week, Shakti looted boots of speed, a hat +4 to mana, gathered wyverns, and somewhere around 133 clashed with the enemy Gunnar near a contested Conflux.
Both had fairly strong armies, but not fully bought out. Besides native troops, Gunnar had an angel and 22 wyverns; Shakti had 20 wyverns. A long battle, much of what was accumulated through hard, grueling labor perished.
Gunnar retreated with 2 wyverns, 4 elves, and 11 lizardmen. Shakti was left with 4 manticores, 19 medusas, about a hundred red troglodytes, and a dozen harpies. I wanted to gather all forces and launch a counterattack, but two circumstances stopped me: first, the elves' dwarves and dendroids had not been in battle, so the "meat" was quite thick. The second circumstance was Gunnar's resist; a couple of lightnings were reflected in battle, making it difficult to pick off those same dwarves with magic. Spitting on the matter, Shakti left to level up in new territories.
The game entered the stage of "...who will be the first to get control of the map..."
Built the magic tower in the Dungeon to the max, only a kettle among useful things.
Over two weeks, gathered wyverns, broke two utopias; in the third one, found a hat +4 to mana and spell power, armor +4 to attack and defense, boots +15% magic resistance. In Dragon Utopia 1 – a helmet (+10 to mana, -2 to spell power). Pandoras gave junk, except for the last one, where I received all earth magic.
It would have been nothing, but Gunnar took a sword +5 to all stats and a hat with fifth-level magic from his single Dragon Utopia, meaning he got fly and dimension door. Then he cleared up the map and started taking red cities.
There was nothing that could be done about it. I thought about looking for something useful or running around, but it was pointless. In the middle of the week, Gunnar took the last red city, caught Shakti, and forced a final battle.
Level 21 Shakti (17-13-14-12). Expert logistics, attack, defense, tactics, air, earth, wisdom, advanced intelligence, 180 mana.
29 wyverns, 47 beholders, 27 medusas, 27 harpies, 3 manticores, 38 gogs, 149 red troglodytes.
Level 23 Gunnar (23-18-21-13). Almost the same as mine, only expert resistance and fire instead of air and intelligence. 34 wyverns, 21 silver pegasi, 31 dendroids, 11 combat unicorns, 80 white centaurs.
On the very first move, Gunnar used explosion on the wyverns for 1800 hits; Shakti's counter-explosion for 1300 (also on wyverns) was resisted. After a couple of rounds of battle, Shakti was killed. 7 hours of gameplay.
Many thanks for the game!
