OUTLAW (blue, Castle, Tirith, Tirith) vs XLocked (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor), 2-2-3, 2sm4d(3)
In the first week I spawned 7 heroes, cleared 3 crypts, privatized the secondary Rampart, stuck elves with a citadel there, at home — cavalry in the citadel + 1 external dwelling each of griffins and archers. Tirith took Learning as her 3rd skill, but it turned out useless afterwards since I couldn't level her up to Expert. In the second week I sent a weak hero with the first week's army to the adjacent Conflux respawn to clear out goodies, while Tirith brought champions and went to the second adjacent Stronghold respawn. No quick passes were found, had to go around the perimeter, wasting time.
The result of the 2nd week: a castle in the home town with griffins, rogues in Rampart with a citadel.
In the 3rd week I finally reached Stronghold. There, near Stronghold, I breached the metro guard and sent a weak hero. In the home respawn and near Rampart there are almost no money buildings, I was afraid to go further with the first week's squad on the Conflux respawn, since the reds' army could show up there at any moment. Roads are very slow, terrain is rugged, Tirith is constantly on speed boost. At the start of each week I had to keep visiting the stables, losing a couple of days, just to have some mobility. No money to buy the army, so I started building income in towns. I found a passage to the treasure zone in the snow, but Tirith had neither Logistics nor Pathfinding, so I decided not to get stuck in the snowdrifts, especially since the weak hero scouted a Golden Bow in the underground. Turning the cavalry around and galloping for the bow. Never found the Utopia. Built a Capitol and a Magistrate, things got a bit easier. Brought the Uruguayan national team from 2 castles, took the bow from the trolls, and slowly advanced to the block on the opponent's respawn, which was half revealed through scouts. On the 5th week, the entire necessary army from 2 castles is bought out and carefully transferred to the main hero. The main hero is at the block on speed boost, next turn I fly into the opponent's empty castle. There's a partially unbought army from the previous week + new growth. I buy out here too, scouts scatter in search of red flags. Another 1.5 weeks were spent hunting down Ivor. And at Inferno, the reds' last refuge, Ivor laid down his arms.
Thanks for the game
