SEM_56 (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Hermit (red, Tower, Solmir, Solmir) 2sm4d(3), 225!!
The opponent took all the rests; I only took 113 and we started. Bron arrived in the tavern with 5 basilisks; the lands aren't large, but they are rich. Tazar gets log and land; result of the week, 1-6 in the castle..
121-127 a couple of crypts, art +4 attack, fighting through a hundred undead to get to the grass, but there's a block of dragonflies; I didn't place hydras...
131-137 secondary Dungeon and Castle, treasure and 4 hives are revealed, but they are quite scattered. Placed hydras; the opponent is pushing hard on spells and knowledge..
141-147 took 3 hives, a couple of Pandoras, art +5 defense..
211-217 average utopia, only the gladius and sphere of immunity removal were useful, plus 2 more hives..
221-225 2 more utopias, a couple of Pandoras, book of earth. Teleport to the capital, upgrade wyverns, hit the GO 232 thunderbirds and I'm 3 cells short of the opponent's capital...
In FF used Hermit's cloak, arts +2 speed, magic resistance 10%, mass low, haste. Killed 7 titans, 14 nags, 54 mages, 204 caps, 2 golems, 2 djinns and 19 gargoyles. The opponent's lightning removed 11 wyverns at a time; as a result, lost 45 wyverns, 62 dragonflies, 85 lizards, victory. Thanks for the game!!
I confirm. Everything happened exactly like that. Now my view of the game. I took two restarts, although I didn't start taking them first. I took the 113th because the ore mine was inaccessible... due to the terrain. The 111th because many liches wouldn't let me leave the castle. After that, again with difficulty, but I still found the mine quickly, and discovered the sawmill on the very first move. Hurray, it seems it's playable. Solmir, bogged down in the snows, captures the parapet and the mages' tower, then in the second week I overlooked something and only built the capitol on Friday; money is very scarce, among warriors I could only build the tower of magi, there are no djinns, nags, or titans. In general, in the second week, I messed up with the market and as a result ended up with no resources at all. Stripped bare in my own city... In the third week, Ein arrived; gathering as many as possible—master gremlins, non-upgraded magi, a bunch of non-upgraded gargoyles and golems—I fight through boars and zombies to a fork: one road to the Dungeon, the other to a grass respawn, but it seemed to me that the opponent was already on the grass, so after killing the silver pegasi I went into the Dungeon, and on the way to the secondary Dungeon, I noticed a passage to the underground treasury. Money is scarce, but I captured the Dungeon; then I built a tavern, prefecture, GM1, and a mana vortex in it. While I was building all this, Solmir was hanging around the city, visiting cultural sites and breaking resource guards; then he visited the mana vortex, Anka gave him some more non-upgraded gremlins, non-upgraded magi and now upgraded gargoyles, taught them some first-level spells, and he with his chain rushed into the underground treasury. With difficulty, I managed to build an Altar of Wishes, a Golden Pavilion, and even a Cloud Temple on the third week! There are almost no money-generating buildings, money as always is very scarce, even despite the capitol. There are no utopias in the treasury, but there are many Pandoras and some other artifacts lying around. Solmir is becoming a decent mage, but the money situation is terrible and nothing can be done—there are no utopias. I did find and capture a gold mine, though. Anka is also trying to collect even meager crumbs of resources and money. In general, throughout the game, I took only two crypts and two dwarf treasuries because there was nothing else... On the other hand, I found some decent artifacts: Dragon Tooth Crown +4 Knowledge and CS and Dragon Shield +3 attack and defense. In the fourth week, by some miracle, I managed to upgrade both djinns and nags. Solmir leaves the treasury and stands before the grass respawn, intending to attack the city and take the opponent by surprise. From the tower, I send him some more army. Next move, I'm ready to capture the opponent's city. I hit the respawn guards, reach the city and see that the opponent isn't even at this respawn... I capture the Rampart. Gathering a tiny army for Anka so she could fend off small resources and money, I level up Solmir and visit various buildings providing primary skills. Built a treasury in the Rampart. Eh, if the opponent hadn't attacked before the third week of the second month, then maybe there would be enough money to hire everyone!.. Solmir pushes through to the grass respawn (this is definitely towards Sem) and this apparently gives Tazar a reason to stand before the GO and prepare for an attack, and it's only Friday. Tazar breaks the GO and goes to the city. For the final battle, I upgraded the Cloud Temple and managed to hire all titans, nags, two djinns, almost all already upgraded magi, many golems and gargoyles, and many gremlins too. Built GM5, but only flight and dimension door are there. Solmir has almost 900 mana points, Tazar has 47, but a huge superiority in troops. I wanted to cast chain lightning, but he had the cloak of negation, but even without that, the chance of winning was almost 100%. I just needed to immediately destroy the catapult with a regular lightning bolt and titans, and further, Tazar certainly had a great advantage in army, but with the army that was behind the walls, I could break both wyverns and dragonflies without any problem (lightning dealt more than 700 damage), then finish off the lizards with shooters and lightning, and Tazar would stand with his cow-like hydras and basilisks under the walls until he didn't have enough money to surrender. And then, with the money he would pay me, I would hire everyone and then we would play. The cloak of negation would have been very useful here because teleport and earthquake are already third-level spells. But I rushed and thoughtlessly let the cows and hydras break through the walls. With their morale, they laid everyone there. And by the way, the mines didn't work. Next time I won't rush and will think everything through!
Thanks for the game!
