Start without built archers. Castle has stables :smile54: and off we go... By W1D1D7 - horses at home in the citadel, in the Stronghold secondary - monks in the fort, +1.000. Valya took the 3rd slot for Pathfinding and found gloves. On the secondary respawn, found a Griffin Conservatory (2-4) and a metro to the underground treasure zone. On the second day, took a Hive (4) and entered the underground treasure zone, took a Pandora's Box with 10,000 experience from a horde of demons - immediately gave Earth Magic and we experted it :smile54: , found nothing else useful and transferred the army to take the Inferno secondary, also broke through a passage to the treasure zone on the swamp there. On the Inferno respawn, sparked a view reveal from which I saw part of a snowy treasure zone nearby. At home - Castle with griffins, in the Citadel - citadel :D . On the 3rd day, I take 2 Griffin Conservatories (4+4), a Hive (8), break the guard of a Dragon Utopia, a Hive (4), a scout reveals a second Dragon Utopia nearby. I take the Shackles for the future :smile04: After Earth Magic skill, Valeska, like a well-bred girl, learned Attack and Logistics. On W2D1D2, a Dragon Utopia (2) falls - gave a Chalice, КВ, ring +1/+1 att/def, Navigator's Necklace. On W2D1D3 - second Dragon Utopia (2) - gave junk((( - bag of gold, chain +4, crystal growth, Vampire's Cloak. W2D1D4 - Hive (4), library, sword +6. The day before, on the Stronghold secondary, Tazik appeared with a clear intention to take my secondary. On W2D1D5, I lose the secondary, I myself go deep into the explored treasure zone, although!!!!! I should have intercepted Tazik near the capital, because Valya's stats were almost 2 times higher + Chain Lightning for 650 HP and a shooter with 300+ HP. On W2D1D6, I lose the capital, I myself found a helmet +12 knowledge, a bit more wisps, and crashed in Inferno to replenish mana and try to intercept Tazar. On W2D1D7, Tazik crashes into his own domain, and my chain didn't deliver the army to the main hero by just 2 tiles, because of which I can't reach one tile to my capital :mad: On W3D1D1, I recapture my capital from my own growth. Tazik, of course, went to the snowy treasure zone. I rush through the bushes and go there myself. On W3D1D3, Tazik's stats jump by 9 all, I loot trees, which, to my great fury, are all 4 wisps each. Valya, with expert Logistics with Pathfinding and with gloves and boots, rushed like a whirlwind, but didn't find Tazik, who at that time was already speeding up before the GO towards my capital... Collected boosts for Air and Earth (Explosion became about 2300 HP), collected 2 angel external dwellings, the 3rd was already privatized by Tazik. On W3D1D6, Tazik breaks through the GO and is 2 steps from the capital. W3D1D7 - I lose the capital again, I myself pick up +2 to speed and stay the night at an angel external dwelling.
On W4D2D1, Tazik crashes back to his side, I collect angel growth from the external dwellings, a scout finds an untouched Dragon Utopia. W4D2D2 - Tazik rushes to my last town, I take a Dragon Utopia (1) - sword +2/+2, shield +3/+3, Boots of Polarity, Shield +2. W4D2D3 Tazik is one day's travel from my Inferno, I sneak through the bushes to his Stronghold secondary. On W4D2D4, I am left without towns, on my turn I double my mana and stay the night in front of the enemy Stronghold. On his turn, Tazarych crashes and attacks:
Tazar lvl 22 (16-22-18-15/150) + Morale Negator. Expert: Defense, Logistics, Wisdom, Pathfinding, Tactics, Earth Magic, Ballistics, Scholar
4 Angels, 7 Hydras, 51 Waspworts, 30 Mighty Gorgons, 37 Greater Basilisks, 89 Greater Lizards, 18 Greater Flies
Valya lvl 21 (23-26-16-15/399) + Boots of Polarity +2 to speed. Expert: Leadership, Archery, Pathfinding, Earth Magic, Attack, Logistics, Wisdom, Basic Ballistics
13 Angels, 12 Champions, 38 Waspworts, 25 Crusaders, 25 Greater Demons, 2 Magi, 28 Archers.
Tazik advances his main stacks with Tactics, I move first and see a magic restriction to level 3 - I cast Mass Slow, Magi cast Mass Bless, in response Pasha speeds up his Waspworts and the brawl begins...
We exchanged archers (mine 600+, Pasha's - 370), in the second round Pasha also cast Mass Slow and that's where my +2 to speed came in handy. My Resistance (15%) never triggered. After about 6 rounds, Magi cast Mass Haste, Pasha tried to flee with the remnants, but here - the Shackles. Anyway, I somehow finished off the swamp army!!!
Thank you Pasha for the most interesting game :smile54:
