He was playing Death, and I was playing Nature. I decided to focus on getting a quick lead by taking a second town in the Dungeon early on, on day two. On day three, I started producing vampires and focused on capturing the Oracle towns. By day seven, I had Devils. I didn't immediately start recruiting them; instead, I bought heroes. I decided to create two Chaos mages, one Sorcerer, and one Necromancer. My fast hero was leveling up well. I got the Gloves on day 13, and on day 14, I reached the third town, where the first Devil was already waiting. Then, I quickly moved to my first town, learned some spells, and started pushing into the Dungeon. Unfortunately, I lost one Devil to Golems because I was rushing and attacked without enough magic from my heroes. Luckily, the third Devil arrived just in time. After clearing the Dungeon, I emerged and headed clockwise, capturing a Mine and another Devil town. I continued to run around with three Devils. Somewhere in the beginning of the fourth week, I remembered about the Boots. I thought that if I didn't get the Boots, I would be running around chasing my opponent for a long time. That had happened before. I sent 4 vampires to an island and, in the process, captured the Bronze Oracle towns. Towards the end of the month, it was time to run around the trees, and my army was ready. Then, I stupidly lost another Devil. While digging for the Boots, I accidentally detached him from the army, and he was attacked. Oh well. I bought another one, but I didn't have enough money for anything else. I barely scraped together enough for some potions. I captured the first outpost on day 212. I spent a couple of days wandering around the desert. I waited for another batch of potions and armor for my heroes. I captured the second outpost on day 215. I didn't reach the town. My opponent took advantage of this and ran towards my territory. I saw his army: 5 heroes, levels 7-9, plus 3 Phoenixes. He stopped at the entrance to my territory. In one turn, I captured both towns on the surface, ran to the center, and used "City Portal" to teleport to my nearest town. On the next turn, the opponent visited a tree and a Seer, increasing his heroes' levels by 2. I left my castle and attacked. He retreated without the Phoenixes. I ran to his territory, encountered the Phoenixes, defeated them, and continued on. By that time, he had retaken his castles. I realized that I needed to somehow capture all his castles and attack so that he wouldn't have anywhere to run, otherwise, I would be chasing him for a long time. So, I ran through the entire Dungeon, captured a castle, and emerged on the other side. I was confident that he wouldn't capture that castle the next day because there was no one nearby. After waiting for my opponent's turn, I captured the remaining two castles and sent Phoenixes to all corners, hoping to find his army. And I did! I pounced on his army.
I can't describe his army exactly, but it was approximately like this:
General, level 11,
two Druids, level 12, Master,
Sorcerer, level 12, Master,
Ranger, level 12,
two Manticores.
My army:
Dark Priest, level 17, Grand Master of Death (Touch of Death)
Wizard, level 16, Grand Master of Order (Spell Steal, Hypnotize)
Wizard, level 16, Grand Master of Order (Spell Steal, Hypnotize)
Heretic, level 16, Grand Master of Chaos (Chain Lightning, Disintegrate)
Crusader, level 16
Ninja, level 16
3 Devils
The final battle was quick. Mass Spell Steal, Disintegrate, Touch of Death, Phantom, Chain Lightning.
Thanks for the game :)
