Thank you for the game, experience and patience (there were disconnects and a break due to urgent circumstances).
I confirm. Such a large respawn generated for the first time, roughly 40-45% of the entire surface, no less, quite rich. Many Crypts, Dwarf Cottages and Medusa Storages, 2 external dwellings of Pikemen, 2 external dwellings of Archers, but in the first 2 weeks there were only 1 Pikemen and 1 Archers, the rest were far away, I later found Swordsmen too. That's where all the good stuff ends - overall just small fry... The road to the Dungeon as a secondary town was blocked by many Grands, so I changed my route and, taking 5-6 Crypts, 2 Dwarf Cottages and 2 Medusa Storages along the way, reached adjacent territories by week 3 - Swamp and Barbarian, from there I could go - either through the Swamp off-road to the Lava Treasury, or through the Hills to the Underground Treasury, or to ГО. I chose the second option, going completely blind, without scouting. The Treasury turned out to be very small - just a couple of boxes, a Dragon Utopia, a minimal Griffin Conservatory and mines. I take the Dragon Utopia on turn 211 - only the Cloak of Undeath turned out to be useful, the Speaker's Hat was completely useless. On turn 211 in the Castle I already have Archangels and 35k at my disposal after visiting the Dragon Utopia... I end the turn without recruiting troops :smile35:. After that, Miners run out of the Underground, cover a colossal distance, jump via teleporter to my Castle and manage to take it...
Valeska returns via the path where the Grands were, roughly there the first fight happened. Valeska turned out to be stronger in parameters and troops, in Shakti's army there were 2 Archangels, Shakti capitulated, appeared in my Castle, bought 40+ Griffins and brought 30-40 Eyes. The second fight turned out to be fatal for Valeska. Unfavorable terrain completely pinned down the Champions and most importantly - lack of mana, only enough for 1 mass Haste. The opponent casts mass Slow and doesn't give me any chances in the battle, nobody can catch up with either the Eyes or the Griffins, Miners finished off the Cavalry with Lightning, Valeska surrendered... On the 3rd time I thought about going to take the blue's capital by buying Swamp troops, but Shakti is already there waiting on his home turf... The reds surrendered... Thank you for the game!
