The respawn in the Dungeon is not large, but two external dwellings of Troglodytes ease the situation. I break through to the monolith, losing about 40 Troglodytes (against a horde of greater water elementals). I take a Barbarian secondary town, dreaming of Behemoths))), but due to a lack of money, I build 1-6 in my home town without Minotaurs in the Citadel. I find a Sword +2/2. On 1.2.6., I sit in my home town to rest with 170 Troglodytes. On day 127, I plan to build Behemoths in the Citadel of my secondary town; I've saved up gold and crystals. Suddenly, Valeska pays me a visit in the Dungeon and is a couple of turns short of reaching me. With a secondary hero with 47 mana points and a Lightning Bolt dealing 90 damage, I attack with 6 single Harpies and 1 Dog, destroying 17 of Val's Archers. Then Shakti enters the battle. After a bit of mutual skirmishing, Val flees with 13 Archers, 2 Cavaliers, 43 Pikemen, and 1 Swordsman. I am left with 4 Manticores, 109 greater Troglodytes, 15 Evil Eyes, and 10 Medusas. I pursue her, capturing a neutral secondary town along the way. On day 133, I transport 7 greater Thunderbirds and am ready to bring in more troops, when news arrives of Val's surrender!
Thanks for the game!
