Vitalik took both restarts, while I took none. We started - roads were slow, but gold and resources were decent; I scouted 2 external air elemental dwellings, so I decided to play. On the first day, 6 heroes scattered in all directions. The respawn was big, about a quarter of the map, so there was plenty of room to run. I scouted two Griffin Conservatories and one Hive, as well as a Shield +4 and a Cloak +2/2 Attack/Knowledge. By the end of the week, gold quickly ran out, and it turned out I couldn't build Phoenixes :(, and I had already set my heart on them. Oh well, I built a Citadel instead, along with Psychic Elementals. I never left the respawn during the week; all 7 heroes were level 1, except for Ciele, who was a whopping level 2 :). On day 121, Nila, with a few Sprites and 34 Storm Elementals, started grinding hard: she took the Cloak +2/2, captured a Dwarf Cottage with 75 Dwarves, and got Earth magic :smile20:. Then she broke into the underground, scouted a minimal Griffin Conservatory there :smile23:, but with an upgraded stack; since it was underground, she didn't get first strike and Storm Elementals couldn't dominate. I took secondary Necromancy, replenished mana there, and took a minimal Dwarf Cottage nearby. Hooray, Earth is already Expert, and Slow is available. I built Phoenixes for first strike, brought them up, took the Conservatory, and transferred troops to Ciele in another part of the respawn, who was just waiting for it - she broke through the Masters of the Sword guarding the entrance to the secondary zone, and judging by the external dwelling of Earth Elementals, my home zone too :). She gave an Angel to Halon, who went to capture it, while she herself went to take the Shield behind the wood. Meanwhile, Nila retreated to her home castle, replenished mana, and ran to the second Conservatory and the Hive. While she was running there, Ciele transferred troops and artifacts to her via chain. On day 131, Nila fought through an Orc horde guarding a Pandora's Box with 5k experience (gave Logistics, which was immediately Expert), took an Imp dwelling, defeated an Orc Medusa horde, took a weak Conservatory, a Hive with 6 Wyverns, visited the Stable, and retreated back to the castle. The chain returned to her, having earned a bit more gold along the way. Ciele ran to reinforce Halon, who, having bought 12 Air Elementals, a few Sprites, and an Angel, took a couple of Crypts; Ciele took another one. Meanwhile, Nila stood near the Dwarf Cottage waiting for the troops to return. A Pathfinder in the underground found a Rogue den and carefully watched how things were going for Blue: their army power was lower - already pleasing. Gelare and Tamika ran back and forth, visiting mills and bringing Air Elementals from the external dwellings. Finally, the troops were with Nila; she defeated the max Dwarf Cottage, took the third Conservatory (a level 2 one) on day 135, and began to think: should she hit the ГО (Scorpicores, and besides, it was out of the way) or go to the adjacent Barbarian secondary zone controlled by Blue? I chose the latter, because with the rough terrain I probably wouldn't make it by the end of the third week (a good choice, since it would have taken a week to run from the ГО to Ignissa's main castle). My income was already around 4500; I didn't build a Capitol because I felt a clash was coming soon. Meanwhile, Halon found another Conservatory, but I decided I'd take it only if they forced me back, as I didn't want to lose momentum. I broke through the Marksmen, scouted the area, and saw the Blue castle, which I reached on day 137. I had 68 Storm Elementals, 6 Birds, 6 Angels, 9 Psychic Elementals, 25 Ice Elementals, and a few Sprites. I immediately spotted the edge of a Blue flag, bought Mulich (dismissing Halon beforehand - it was a pity, but he had served his purpose), gave him part of the army so he could kill Blue's scout... But then Vitalik surrendered. Near that scout stood Ignissa with 3 Birds, while all of Vitalik's Psychic Elementals and Storm Elementals had been devoured by Black Dragons and Archangels, on which he was losing anyway.
Thanks for the game!
