Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Lider1 (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 2.4.4.
On the first week - Unicorns in Castle, native secondary skill, took 2 Centaur external dwellings.
On the second week - took the Dragon external dwelling.
On the third week - upgraded the Dragons, took the level-2 Griffin Conservatory. Had a choice between taking Tactics or Earth Magic, leaned towards Tactics, and Earth Magic was never offered again.
On the fourth week - secondary skill Tower, towards the end of the week approached the Dragon Utopia, planning to take it on the next turn, but Valeska arrived from the side of ГО with 10-19 Angels, 50-99 Cavaliers, and the rest small creatures. Had to disband.
Valeska did not storm it, and I was in no hurry to attack a stack of Angels either.
On the fifth week, I finally managed to take that Minimal Dragon Utopia (Tome of Earth Magic and everything). Apparently Valeska was also hurrying to it, as she turned out to be nearby. I attack. 17 Angels with mass Shield and Stone Skin forced me to buy peace with 15 Green Dragons, etc. Bought peace with 70+ Elves and 7 Green Dragons, leaving the opponent with 9 Angels and small creatures.
On the sixth week, I took the opponent's almost empty Main Castle, bought the growth there, and attack the approaching Valeska again. Managed to kill 3 of Valeska's Angels, then she buys peace with 10 Angels and small creatures. With the money gained, I upgrade the Dragons (15), go to the Minimal Dragon Utopia at the Tower secondary, take it (All-powerful Helm). Disband home, buy the army, go to the Tavern.
I have - 19 Gold Dragons, 12 War Horns, 140+ Elves, 4 Angels, 130+ Dwarves, etc.
The opponent has - 16 Angels, 10 Champions. 60+ Marksmen, 13 Monks, etc.
Implosion and the Gold Dragons decided it.
Thanks to the opponent for an interesting game!
I got a late start. Wanted to have Marksmen built immediately in the castle. The respawn turned out to be unusually small and poor, but there were 2 external dwellings - one of Monks and Swordsmen. For the first time, I didn't build either the Citadel or the Cavaliers in the castle on the first week. If Pasha had known how badly I was doing, he would have come on the second. On the first week, I break through the upgraded Dwarves and take the Tower secondary. On the second, I revealed an Angel external dwelling :smile44:. In principle, it gave me a little time to live + another external dwelling of Swordsmen. Finally built Cavaliers in the castle with Monks. On the third, I take an external dwelling and two Griffin Conservatories, level 1 and 3, also a Naga Bank. I collect money for a Snowflake, and build Angels in the castle. On the 4th, I take another Conservatory +3 on my native respawn. And I prepare to break through the ГО. Then Ivor pops up from a monolith and kills my scout hero. There is a Dragon Utopia not far away. I break through the ГО towards Pasha (3 crystals) and reveal his native castle. Was 7 tiles short. On the next turn, I see Ivor already in the castle. And I immediately turn back ;) on the way home, I take a Naga Bank, a Crypt, and a Medusa Factory. At home, I buy additional troops and prepare to go take the Dragon Utopia, but Ivor beat me to it. I was already thinking of surrendering. Red attacked, and lo and behold, he retreated for money. With that money, I bought more troops and decided to try to take the Dragon Utopia in the treasury. On the way, I took 2 Beehives, also a Shield +6. I moved a few days away from the castle, and again see an attack, Ivor with only Pegasi - on the run. No point in returning home, as I wouldn't have made it back to the castle. I reach the Dragon Utopia - it's a max one, scary) - gave a Shield +4, Hourglass, Tome of Air Magic, and Pendant of Divine. :smile44: I plan to use the town portal to spend the night in the castle and recapture my native castle, but I'm 2 tiles short :smile21: (end of week). I wanted to go to his Tavern, closer to the Capitol, through my respawn and the well. But I'm 3 tiles short. Ivor pops up on the second day and attacks. I decided to buy peace. In general, we stalled for a long time, I managed to take a Conservatory for 3 Angels, recapture my castle, take a Beehive, but Pasha upgraded his Gold Dragons and came to the Tavern, where he killed me at home in the castle.
Thanks for the game and the experience.
