On the first day, I picked two native heroes: Adela (with Bless) and archers (built and bought) around 30, and pokemons were immediately about 50-60. I went into Imp-inhabited areas with 30 of them, then killed about 50 golems (Griffin Conservatory guards - also blocking the passage), and the next battle was Crypts - maxed out and mana at 0 - that's where they buried me, or rather my entire army :smile16: THAT'S IT, no money, no army, no restarts for me - I was hoping for Pavel's restart at 113 (but didn't get it) - wanted to concede after receiving the turn on day 4, but I don't know what happened, I kept playing. 115: Bought 4 Swordsmen and 6 Griffins and 1+1 pokemon and went to take revenge on 3 Vampires, 8 Witches, 20 Skeletons and 20 Halberdiers - lost 1+1 pikeman, 1 Swordsman and 1 Griffin - got $5000, air seemed to get into my lungs. Then I buy 2 more Griffins and with 3 Swordsmen and 7 Griffins kill 55 Hobgoblins (shooters) and pick up an external Griffin dwelling behind them - things are easier now. Then 33 Orcs (here they scratched me more seriously) and a second external Griffin dwelling. 117: 1-6 without 5 at the Fort +2 external Chicken dwellings, finally inserted Cavalry and the army on 4 heroes: 1 Zombie, 15+1 Griffins and 1 Swordsman. 123: secondary Conflux. 127: 1-6 at the Castle + another external Monk dwelling. 132: secondary Elven. On 133, I (Adela 6244: 4+3 Cavalry) get attacked by Tazar 6824: 20 Wyverns, 8 Minotaurs, 30+ Lizardmen, Zombies and Dragon Flies - I had to lose 3 Cavalry to buy peace (I only took one Wyvern with me, the second archer shot was resisted). Immediately I buy off at the nearest secondary town - kill a scout hero and stand next to Tazar with 1+1+1+1 Cavalry (I didn't attack because of hit-and-run), Tazar doesn't attack and captures the secondary town. I have no choice but to attack the Stronghold and buy peace, then immediately buy at the capital and hit the Griffin Conservatory for 2 Angels. Tazar rushes at me, I run home and speed up. On 137, Tazar doesn't attack but opens a Pandora's Box for 20-49 upgraded Liches and heads to the chain from his native Castle - I can't delay. On 141, I attack him:
Adela 6 3 4 4: 2 Angels, 67 Royal Griffins, 16 Monks, 27 Crossbowmen, 5 Cavalry, 13 Swordsmen, 50+ pokemons
Tazar 6 9 2 4: 19 Wyverns, 8 Minotaurs, 35 Lizardmen, 13 Dragon Flies, 112+1+1 Zombies
My losses: pokemons, archers - against his 15 Wyverns and 80 Zombies - he bought peace
Reinforcements are brought to me and I ran to his respawn, but then changed my mind. Dived into a portal at his respawn; he was exiting almost to my secondary town (Conflux). There I took a Griffin Conservatory for 3 Angels and wanted to insert them at home. On 146, Pavel conceded victory to me.
Thanks for the cinematic thriller and horror, and of course for our game!
