Hardcore (red, Rampart, Kyrre) def Felix (blue, Necro, Galthran) 1-2-6 2sm4d(3)
My opponent took all the rests, I did without them, we started.
I was born on a poor central respawn, but had as many as 18 Elves from the start, though there is no wood for an upgrade anywhere. On d1w1v1 I send out scouts to gather free stuff, Kyrre speeds up before the guard of the grass. On d1w1v2, wood is still not found, I go traveling with plain Elves, break through 15 Treants for access to the grass. Next, a block of 20 Eyed Monsters was taken down with morale, losing almost all Centaurs and a couple of Elves. I enter the Stables and on d1w1v3 capture my native secondary town, where I stay for the night. By this time I had found some wood and upgraded the Elves the next turn, plus bought them with all the meager gold. Until the end of the week, Kyrre runs around the secondary respawn earning gold and also upgraded the Elves' external dwelling. With the 3rd slot I got Tactics. Kyrre stays the night in the secondary town, I managed to build Horses at the Citadel in the secondary town using wood from there. I ended the week with the starting 4 heroes ). On d2w1v1 I buy the secondary Elves and break through a Gnome hut for 100 next to the secondary town. After the Stables and a speed boost before the horde of Energy elementals for the Pandora's Box. At home, I buy Elves and a couple of Horses with a scout, and use them to clear pre-max crypts and a couple of chests to buy Gnomes and wood in the secondary town for breaking through to blue. I'm playing on 4-minute turns in a severe time crunch. On d2w1v2, at the cost of 25 Centaurs, I take the Pandora's Box for 60 Blue skill points giving 10k experience. Kyrre is level 13, Expert in Basic skills, Tactics, Luck was forced on me, and Basic Wisdom was also forced on me. I speed boost before the Griffin Conservatory. d2w1v3 - I enter the Conservatory 3-4, combine the home army with the secondary one and take Conservatory 3. Lost 5 Dendroid Soldiers, 1 Horse, all Gnomes, and 10 Centaurs, but gained +3 Angels. In total we have 50 Elves, 60 Centaurs, 9 Dendroid Soldiers, 4 Horses, and 3 Angels. It's getting late, I decide not to drag it out and boost speed before entering the underground to the Necromancers. On d2w1v4 at the opponent's respawn, at the cost of 40 Mages, I take a Shield +3 and position myself a few hexes from the Necropolis. The opponent doesn't want to give up and decided to torment me a bit, and comes out with Gosha from my lower Barbarian secondary town and aims for the main one. I capture the Necropolis but lose it the next turn, but after driving off Gosha, I attack the Necropolis again and kill Gosha in the castle.
Thanks for the game.
