Started quickly (only 1 restart), on day one found logistics in a hut, Pasis arrived, for some reason attacked a horde of fae dragons without upgraded archers, the creatures delayed us -8 archers. However, free logistics for everyone and fast roads lured us into the game (plus the artifact gave us a Bird of Luck - that's a plus already). On day two saw two Griffin Conservatories, an external stable - we're not playing for nothing! Only had to have Pasis stand in chains, but the wood mine is more important - he'll manage. Everyone gathers freebies, Pasis marches along the road to the secondary town. On day six an Elven castle is taken, immediately a tavern and another scout. Wanted to put 1000 halberdiers there the old-fashioned way, but decided that 14 elves are more needed. Week result: home has cavalry with citadel, secondary town has elves, Pasis level 6, 6-2-2-3 attack, ballista, logistics, archery, and wisdom. 121 - upgrade and purchase of elves, breaking into the medusa dwelling, Pasis hastened under a level 1 Griffin Conservatory, home has 1000 halberdiers. Killed an angel with just elves, archers, and pokemons, let there be losses, but the money instead of cavalry went to 1000 halberdiers in the secondary town and a new scout. 123 killed the guard of a fort on a hill, which was bypassed :) 124 Pasis hastened in front of a Naga Bank, a scout with a power artifact in hand from another secondary town (elementals). 125 minimal Naga Bank, secondary town (tavern and a scout from it immediately), Pasis aimed at the second Griffin Conservatory. Was ready to part with all shooters in case of a level 3 conservatory, didn't dare touch a level 4, but got a minimal one, all scouts aimed at one thing - Money!, castle on day 6, 13000 gold in pocket and three markets: angels are a go. On day 7 the army fought all over the respawn, result - angels were recruited even without trade, Pasis level 11 10-7-4-3 broke through a portal, it turned out to connect the respawns of secondary towns: not bad - emerged right under a Pandora's Box with a horde of fire elementals. 131 all angels from home are bought and given to Pasis, in the Pandora's Box is all level 3 magic, Pasis dives back into the portal - that way it's closer to the third Griffin Conservatory, secondary town - 1000 halberdiers. Following Pasis comes Loynis with a fly spell, the conservatory is at the junction of the respawns and there's a chance to send a scout to the opponent. 133 dived into the conservatory, licked his lips and emerged: 3-4... can be taken with just angels without losses, waiting for delivery. To not get bored, broke into the underground, there's a Pandora's Box with a horde of greater basilisks - that's probably rich... 5 angels and a slow creature crush the basilisks without problems, they give all fire spells (wisdom was enough for level 4). 136 with the loss of three crusaders and a few centaurs, the level 3 conservatory was taken, now have 8 angels, a scout with logistics, stable, and under fly managed to get to the red player's castle without roads, for which he was killed, but took a wyvern with him - fulfilled his duty to the end.
In parallel with Pasis, in another underground Orrin with all archers and cavalry cleared the treasure zone, raised three mines (sulfur, mercury, and gold) and got a Titan's Cuirass from a grave. By the end of the week Pasis is level 15 10-10-5-4, crashed into a tactic against efreeti and sits at home, waiting for mana and stable. 141 Pasis with 10 angels hits a level 3 conservatory next to the GO, chains are set up from everywhere to him. 142 battle with the GO (20-49 devils), the number 13 became fateful for the horned ones, only the stack of arch devils spoiled the picture, shaving off 2 cavalry immediately, the rest are slowed and killed by high-morale angels with special cruelty :) A scout with elves marches into the darkness and sees: the red player on the road, and a bit higher Tazar sits in a broken conservatory... Pasis tries to reach and is one turn short! But as soon as the scout moved off the road and boom! Pasis reached Tazik. The battle:
Pasis level 16 10-11-16-4, expert attack, artillery, logistics, earth magic, and tactics, advanced wisdom and archery. Army: 13 angels, 11 champions, 18 greater elves, 28 crusaders, almost a hundred pokemons.
Tazar level 14 12-8-8-4, expert armor, logistics, and earth magic, advanced wisdom and ballistics, tactics and resistance. Army: 3 angels, 3 hydras, 12 mighty gorgons in tomato, and 16 wyverns.
I wait for Tazar's cast, everyone huddles in the corner: mass slow and all the swamp brethren wait, I cast berserk on the wyverns and watch them tear into the angels, who couldn't stand such insolence and took down a couple, I press defend on everyone. The next round, the angels removed the retaliation from my units and the gorgons blew mightily - two of the winged ones choked on the gas, in response anti-magic on my angels, and the next round the swamp army dies. As Dream later admitted - he had no money for a buyout at all, he spent everything down to zero for the conservatory. Thanks for the game, Tazar leveled up nose-to-nose with Pasis the whole match, sometimes overtaking him in stats, which caused noticeable worry - what if we can't crush the tank. I got my adrenaline fix from the heart ;)
P.S. I uploaded the saves, for some reason files larger than a megabyte are not accepted by the server from me, so I split them into parts. I didn't include some saves as unnecessary (and it's easier for me, dial-up after all :rolleyes: ).
