On the first day, two native heroes; Alkyn appeared, I see an external dwelling of basilisks — need to play. Alkyn immediately reached level 3, though he lost 3 out of 4 basilisks to Bron, bought Gundula on top of that. Three paths: ГО, a horde of flies, and a stack of crusaders — no choice here, I'll rush. Gave up on Alkyn, leveling Gundula. On day 7, the native secondary town was taken. Week result: Gundula level 6, got Logistics and Ballistics, home has Behemoths with Citadel, secondary town empty, external dwelling of basilisks, two external dwellings of flies. Start of week 2 — battle for money, need a lot for two native towns, found 2 more external dwellings of Gnolls.. On day 123 I saw a passage to blue through an adjacent zone, decided to pay a visit. Along the way I grabbed a Cape of +2 Speed from under Ogres, on day 126 I see Tyris with a horde of pokemon and Wyverns, hmm not worth messing with her — I open the Dwarf dwelling at the opponent's respawn and save up money for ransom. In battle I got 4 horses and small change, and that's how I ransomed myself with a loss of Lizardmen and Flies. Week result: Gundula level 10, home unchanged, secondary town — Flies. Desperate lack of money, on week 3 battles for money and only for money :) Few heroes, everything is slow, but I formed a strike stack of 40 Dragonflies and everything breaks through fine. On the other edge of my territory, Dessah arrived with meat from the secondary town and 3 external dwellings of Gnolls, crushing crypts and other small stuff. Week result: Gundula level 12, home has Behemoths with Castle, secondary town — Basilisks and Citadel, secondary Inferno town. Money became a bit easier, bought some purses, mama is leveling :) Day 144, conservatory for 3 Angels, gave them to Alkyn and sent him to clear the Inferno surroundings, Gundula breaks into the native secondary town (nearby Boots) and the army is in her hands the next day. Day 146, mama with Boots and on Flies is aiming for a Utopia, unclear if I'll reach it though... On day 147 she reaches it and takes a tier-3 at the cost of 120 Gnolls and half the Dragonflies (no Wyverns at all, Behemoths not upgraded because there's no money :rolleyes:). It drops 40k gold (that's what I went for), a Chalice +6 to all stats and a Collar +3 to all stats, not bad. In 2 days I spent all the money on army and Capitol, captured a Pandora's Box with 45 Gorgons, an external dwelling of Behemoths, and decided to visit again. Gundula with Logistics and Boots timed it and on day 217 she took the blue capital, then sped up there and waits for the Stable for 1 day. Day 221, I set up chains from the secondary town to mama, all artifacts equipped (was hiding them before, only Boots on), day 222 army delivery and the Necro secondary town is captured, Tyris without towns. Air scouting reveals 2 heroes near Necropolis, I march there with all my power. Day 224, Pandora's Box on all water behind a group of Gorgons, and on day 225 I reach Tyris, battle:
Gundula level 20, 29-18-23-197 mana, expert Attack, Wisdom, Artillery, Logistics, Air, Earth, Tactics. Army: 153 Gorgons, 73 Gnolls, 28 Basilisks, 36 Behemoths, 8 Wyverns, 76 Flies, 77 Dragonflies. Cape of +2 Speed, Morale Negator.
Tyris level 22, 20-13-5-10, expert Leadership, Tactics, Archery, Pathfinding, Ballistics, Water, and Luck. Army: 3 Archangels, 15 Zealots, 20 Wyverns, 55 Marksmen, 30 Crusaders, and 11 Champions. Book of Earth, Golden Bow.
Right away I take a Blast for 500 damage to the Flies, in response Mass Slow and everyone waits, Gorgons take out the Marksmen. Zealots chipped a bit off the Gorgons, Archangels resurrect the Marksmen, they immediately die from the Flies, all the brethren push forward. On the second round, Blindness on the Archangels and together we take down the Wyverns and Crusaders. After a couple of rounds, Tyris' troops were exhausted. Thanks for the game.
