Man, we sure ate like kings with Scorp :eek: I spawned up top, Necro down below. Fast roads, but only one)) to the secondary. Went there, found a native and an external Evil Eye dwelling nearby. Very little gold, placed native Medusas in the fort, in the secondary Evil Eyes + portals in both castles and took the external Evil Eye dwelling. On 121 started with max Dwarf Cottages, then a conservatory for 2 Angels, then went to rush the Necromancers with 90 Troglodytes, 2 Angels, and 72 Evil Eyes. Captured the main castle, then the native secondary, horrified by the large number of empty conservatories on Necro respawns (4 of them:eek: ). Gosha nowhere to be seen, found the only exit off-road where he could have gone — into a sand treasure zone. From the lookout I see 2 Dragon Utopias and a couple of Pandora's Boxes. Didn't build anything in the castles in the second. Break into my own secondary and go take the lit-up conservatory for 3 Angels, then the Hive for 8 Wyverns, an artifact for +2 to health, and on 133 I take a Dragon Utopia-three. Got a Book of Earth, Shield of Tual, and a Sack of Gold. Never got Logistics till the end of the game :(, but at least stables near the native. Took one more Tower castle. On the third built only citadels in both castles. On week 4 took 2 more mini Dragon Utopias (Helm of Tual, Wings), Necklace +3/+3 Spell/Mana. On week 4 managed to build Minotaurs in the castle in both castles, because on week 1 I was spending all resources down to zero. Was pleased with the stack of Evil Eyes, which already consisted of 180 units, which I upgraded on 141. Found another Dragon Utopia-three in the snow (Kettle, Cuirass, and Red Ball). Shakti's stats became just insane, explosion hit for 4200. Scorp was also scaring someone there with the Red Ball, so at night I'd take off the Cuirass at first, then I stopped caring, because what if they catch me with artifacts and bracers unequipped. Anyway, I captured Misha's last castle and sat there with all my might, on 215 Gosha attacks:
Gosha 19-16-12-1200 mana:eek:, 1+10 Angels, 51 Wyverns, 1+1+1+950 Skeletons.
Shakti 26-25-33-447 mana, 23 Demons, 167 Evil Eyes, 262 Troglodytes, 3 Angels, 18 Minotaurs, 29 Medusas, 66 Harpies. First turn the Wyvern stack died, second turn fewer than two hundred Skeletons remained, then Angels, and in round 4 Gosha dropped 4 sacks of artifacts and GG. The Necromancer had Expert Resistance, but it never triggered.
Thanks for the game!
