Start with building archers, but there are only 20 of them. I have Tazar, I wanted to put him in the shooters, but the resource struggle required Valeska's bonuses, who stayed in the main army after all, even though towards the end of the game Tazar was much more needed. 2 paths, one to the GO, and one to the Town Portal with mages. Farming a huge respawn on the first native week and building Cavaliers in the castle. Plan for week 2 - Angels in the castle, since there is an external dwelling for them. The secondary town turned out to be Dungeon and I already regret having colored the external dwelling of pikemen. With Dungeon, scouting reveals corners of 2 Dragon Utopias in other caves. The generator was somehow crooked and it turned out that at the exit of the teleport to the underground Dungeon along the road, there was its own exit from a cave into the swamp, the path through which led to another Dungeon, whose respawn my hero was farming off-road. In total, having lost one Cavalier due to the terrain against Obsidian Gargoyles, I have 7 Angels by week 3 +2 Angels from the Griffin Conservatory. The swamp terrain, scanned by scouting, shines like treasure, there wasn't even a dead Gnoll. My heroes barely manage to scout a whole 6 Dragon Utopias!
I can't resist and at the start of week 3 with stats 5-7 I dive into the first - a level 2 or level 3 (I don't remember). I come out with only 9 Angels, while 100+ Pikemen, 8 Champions, and the rest of the crew all perished there - reward is a Shield +4 all, Fire book, and money for a new population of Angels. The thought of Armageddon on such a massive stack of Angels was just delightful. I wait out the end of the week, luckily I had Expert Pathfinding and I look for Dragon Fly Hives, to have a second attacking stack for the Dragon Utopia. In week 4, with better stats and 13 Angels, I break into 2 max-level Utopias. Meanwhile, I see the opponent in the cave grabbing +2 Speed and moving toward the Utopia. I send a scout there, who steals the artifact +3 Morale/Luck from right under Kyrre's nose, who had just taken it from the second Utopia's guardians. I finish off the 4th Utopia and now have almost the entire Angelic Alliance set except for the Sandals of the Saint, the Air, Fire, and Earth spell books. However, my expert skills were Air and Water - Earth magic wasn't offered even once all game. But I managed to use Town Portal somehow. It was late, and we decided to fight - I didn't want to waste time on 2 more Utopias (though 2-3 days would've been plenty) and I didn't even upgrade the Archers, since I also had the Thunder Helmet and Titan's Cuirass + the Whirlpool in the Dungeon. The opponent also had 2 Dungeons, but my Bolt could only do 900 damage. We met in battle - and it started - I use Expertise and mass Haste - I chop a bit, but there's just a sea of troops. The survivors from among the shooting Medusas, Basilisks, and Giants break through and take out a couple of Angels. I think - well, time to boom, or else Armageddon won't be in my favor - the mouse played me a trick - double-clicked and I cast Land Mines :smile11:. The Angels get hit by a Bolt - also Magic Power 16 and with Sorcery, but the shooter's element was probably Air. Round 3 - hehe - Recanter's Cloak :(. Bolt on the Elves, but still a decent amount of meatshields, and I only have 4 Angels and a few Archers - I surrender - need to upgrade. I set up chains for supply from external dwellings and Dungeons, take 2 Pandora's Boxes on the native resp for 25k Gold out of boredom by the end of the week - that's where the money was. But after the Utopias, gold was no issue. Kyrre herself, without waiting for a new population, came with a meat shield from 2 Dungeons (Basilisks and Medusas), unnoticeably removed the Recanter's Cloak, and attacks. But this time I have 8 Archers. They shot a Chain Lightning, which served as the signal for the slaughter. I still wanted to show off Armageddon and cast Anti-Magic on the Archers, completely forgetting that without the Earth skill the desired effect wouldn't be there. I get messed up by Chain Lightning again. Well, at that point Valeska's patience finally ran out - she also massacred almost all of blue's troops with Chain Lightning, while the Archangels hit the Harpies. Anyway, because of the late hour, we both messed up at the end, but with such Utopias I think with proper play from both sides - the result wouldn't have changed.
Thanks for the game!
