scorp (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti/Gunnar) def numOne (red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 136
I used all my restarts. Respawned in the underground and scouted it without the view spell almost in one turn (nothing tasty there). On turn 113 I took the Conflux secondary. On turn 114 I saw a Griffin Conservatory, but couldn't check it. Turn 117: week 1, day 6 without the Citadel on day 5. On turn 121 I took the Conservatory, it turned out to have 1 Angel. Turn 122 I broke into the Treasury and cleared the guard of a grave, got a shield +3/+3 att/def. and immediately left from there (my army was still too small to roam the Treasury). I cleared a Pandora's Box with 50-99 Grand Elves, thought about who to take it with — I had Shakti (lvl 9, 6341, with expert Tactics and basic Logistics) and Gunnar (lvl 1) — both without spell books. I took Gunnar, it turned out to be 5k XP — he immediately got expert Logistics and they gave me Offense. On turn 126 I push through the wasteland from my spawn as I thought towards the Treasury (there was a Hive, in the end it was just one) — it turned out to be a secondary town and the road led to my opponent. Turn 127: home castle without day 5. On turn 132, Shakti comes out of the underground metro and runs to the empty capital — he falls a couple of tiles short, steps off the road and lets Gunnar (who was behind Shakti) pass ahead — he took the army, garrisoned the castle, and still had moves left (I didn't miscalculate who to give the Pandora to). Next turn, Shakti took the Hive with 4 Wyverns (thanks for that) and returned the army to Gunnar. There were 2 roads, he chose the snowy secondary town because it had been recently captured, but didn't reach the castle.
They attacked me:
Gunnar lvl 6, 7735: 1 Angel, 8 Scorpiders, 33 Evil Eyes, 7 Medusas, 150+ upgraded Troglodytes and a Ballista.
Dessa 4478 (Lightning Bolt dealt 225 damage): 2 Angels, 8 Behemoths, 1 Thunderbird, 4 Birds and 1+1+15 Gargoyles
We fought until Dessa ran out of mana. I had 1 Scorpid, 13 Evil Eyes, 7 Medusas, and 110+ upgraded Troglodytes left — my opponent had 7 Behemoths and 15 Gargoyles — he surrendered.
I captured the castle and immediately left, I brought the remaining unredeemed army from my own castle and bought a few in his capital. A turn later (on turn 135), Dessa flew past towards the Mana Amplifier (which was empty) and attacked Gunnar, who hadn't reached the castle, but had transferred his army and artifacts to Shakti.
And on turn 136, the final fight against Dessa:
Shakti lvl 12, 10 7 7 3: 1 Scorpid (to remove the retaliation), 35 upgraded Wolves, 27 upgraded Harpies, 150+ upgraded Troglodytes, 12 Ogre Mages, 13 Evil Eyes, and 13 Medusas.
Dessa: 7 Behemoths, 50 Skeletons, 20 Zombies, and Gargoyles.
After my first three units, 4 Bears remained.
Thanks for the game!
P.S.: by the way, my opponent had an external Behemoth dwelling and a Dragon Utopia, so I arrived just in time.
