Started in the underground, but in the tavern there were two native heroes along with Gunnar, and the native secondary hero with an external dwelling of minotaurs and an eye :smile03: Not enough money, though, and no income buildings in sight, except for one naga bank. End of the first week - minotaurs in the native town without a citadel, Troglodyte growth in the secondary, the minotaur external dwelling was taken, summoning portals were built in both towns. Gunnar was given Earth, then an attack, so the folder was determined. Only did was search everywhere for money, because with buying out minotaurs there was a catastrophic shortage. On day 121, I took a naga bank with 15 nagas, broke through to the lava, nothing interesting there, so I returned and ran to the horde of earth elementals guarding a pandora's box, then to a treasury along the way. Before that, I took down a sword +2 attack/defense behind a horde of gogs and broke through to the Inferno secondary through a horde of lizardmen - tactics rule. Found nothing in the treasury - only captured a gold mine, took a couple of pandora's boxes for experience. On the second week, I built a town and manticores in the native town and an eye in the secondary. I don't take any more external dwellings because I'm gathering a powerful stack of minotaurs. On the lava, Valessa appears, defeats a guard of resources and gets wiped out, doesn't collect the resources. I release Tant 10th level from prison with 50 mana and a bow. He treacherously collected the resources Valessa had cleared and moved down. He was immediately chased away by a mage. But I managed to reveal a small part of the map and understood why I wasn't allowed in there. On the third week, I blundered and out of inertia took an external dwelling of devils, and on day 141 there were imps in one portal :( But it's okay, because on day 141 I already had 49 minotaurs, Mass Slow, and 100+ Troglodytes, didn't buy the rest. At the start of the fourth week, I study level 4 magic in the town, and Gunnar goes to another treasury. I want to build level 5 (have a Dimension Door scroll), but no gems. Malekith 10th level with 7 spells on 7 harpies was sent to the lava towards the opponent. He was chased away again, but he did kill one mage. I start to suspect there's a lot of good stuff there, that's why they're so stubbornly not letting me in :) Meanwhile, Gunnar with half a hundred minotaurs was tearing apart everything he saw. Attacked a horde of ancient vampires, the mouse twitched and 100+ Troglodytes remained in the thick of the vampires and were instantly torn apart :mad: A chest gave 20k experience, but I wanted magic. Oh well. Went on: collected 25 titans, chests gave 30 witches, 20 liches, 8 ancient vampires. I start to worry about my morale. The pendant of courage helped a lot - the minotaurs had neutral morale, and the rest were negative. Found the spirit of anguish - just right against Valessa's hyper-morale. On the 4th week, built dragons in the native town, installed manticores in the secondary (still didn't have enough gems for minotaurs). Broke into the town, doubled mana, broke through the GO (angels + dragon phantoms) and went on the attack. At the first fork, I went the right way following landmarks, at the second fork I started thinking, since the scouts were far behind. But there was a lot of time until the end of the week, and I revealed a breastplate +4 to spellpower. Went to take it and saw Valessa's town. I saw there were 1-4 angels and attacked without hesitation. I have advanced Ballistics and the gates fell on the first try. Val casts Mass Haste and everyone runs out of the town (18 unicorns, 4 angels, 20 crusaders), 110 archers kill a few minotaurs, 20 enchanters shoot at their own. Then Mass Slow from my side, in the second round I cast Mass Haste and 50+ minotaurs, 110 evil eyes, the remaining 15 wyverns wipe out almost all of Valessa's army. The remnants were finished off in the third round.
Thanks for the game! 2 Dungeons is awesome.
