invisible (red, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Lost Paradise (blue, necro, Galthran, Galthran) 2sm4d(3) 213

There was such a game. At the start, I lost many skeletons, but I took the liches, which I also lost due to the wolves' morale. Because of this, I slowed down a bit in development. Secondary town Castle, a thousand, homes — horses with Iliches in the citadel and a thousand. By the second week, I scraped together enough for 9 Iliches and took the harpy hovel, then I bought knights and took the medusa dwelling and captured the external dragon dwelling, but there were very few skeletons — just over a hundred. A Dragon Utopia was already scouted on the secondary respawn, and I needed to capture it somehow, so I went to gather bones... along the way, I took a minimal consulate, finally broke through 20-49 ice elementals to the secondary swamp, and sent a scout there who ran into a block of harpies. On the second — dragons in the Castle and 2000, on 131 — the Capitol, which I built in vain this time... Goshka got beaten in the main area and went to the consulate area on the secondary, where there were 2 arenas and an artifact — Resist 10%. Time was around 135 — Red was charging at me from the swamp; I thought maybe I could go straight into the Dragon Utopia and then defend, but I wouldn't make it in time in that case, so I decided to stick to the plan — after all, the enemy had 9 angels, and I only had 300+ skeletons. The consulate was minimal again, and the Dragon Utopia gave junk. :smile05: On the 4th, I recaptured my Capitol and pushed further with Goshka into the treasure zone — either go underground (which I somehow wanted to do :rolleyes: ) or go right. But after scouting the metro with a scout, it turned out there was a teleporter from somewhere on Red's territory, and they were already roaming around there in herds :mad: — if I had known that Shakti was sitting in a Dragon Utopia, afraid to take it, I would have probably come, but you can't know such things... I had to go to another treasure zone, which at first glance didn't look very good... and so it turned out — not a single Dragon Utopia and junk artifacts... But I didn't run around there for long. Shakti, who had taken the maximum consulate, grew in stats and got all of level 5, after which he immediately caught Goshka while I was split-moving. Now I dug around in the saves a bit and realized that on the 4th week I started wasting turns, the reason being an unexpected guest who came with beer and stupid advice about the game. The beer and "strategy discussions" eventually relaxed me. :smile27:
Thanks for the game!
