On the first map, there is only one crypt for 2500, little gold, the knights in the stronghold barely got built, secondary skill is swamp, with levels 1-3 in it. On the second map, I reclaim gold from the dwarf huts and medusa huts. I could have even built angels in the castle, but I didn’t, in order to buy all the growth, since I scouted as many as 4 conservatories. The Rampart secondary skill was obtained. On turn 131, I buy everything and over the week sequentially take 4 conservatories (1+4+1+3) and a shield +3 atk/def for 46 gr with medusas. Meanwhile, Valya was defeated twice in castles, because the conservatories were scattered across three respawns. In the maximum difficulty, I ultimately had to leave 3 champions.:smile39: On turn 142, I take a tier-3 naga bank, buy all the growth except for monks, and become Valya on a speed boost at the swamp respawn, where I get up to 50 nomads and ghosts for a passage to the opponent’s main respawn. Then I go visiting with 12 angels and all the growth except monks :smile13: and stop mid-move from the capital. The opponent surrenders because most of the growth hasn’t been purchased. :smile15:
Thanks to my opponent for the game.
P.S. I wonder, am I the only one who levels Valya so much that, time and again, I just don’t get any earth magic at all?!!! :smile32: :smile18: I even had to take water magic at level 10 — just so I could get expert blessing. :smile43:
