CTPAHHuK (Nature) vs. Lee (Nature) Powerspot 134.
Expert, 8 min.
Equlibris 3.51.
We struggled for a long time trying to start the map on different difficulties and with different time limits, but we finally managed to play on Expert in 8 minutes.
The most interesting thing is that I almost managed to win. I gathered small creatures around the main dwelling and, after gaining momentum, defeated the Leprechauns and robbed the Nature bank. I passed the turn and started thinking about where to go next. In the nearest dwelling, Air Elementals were bustling, and Sunflowers were growing on the shrine. And I decided that I was too cool, I wouldn't take them, I would go straight to the second dwelling for Griffins, because there were many Griffins on the Griffin spawn, but few Sunflowers and Air Elementals. On the way, I decided to join the Harpies and... it didn't work. They beat up my wolves and sent them to the Griffins. Well, I bought a Griffin and thought that now I was really strong. I attacked the Harpies near the labyrinth, hoping to join them instead of the wolves, and... it didn't work. The Harpies were with Berserkers, and they left only 80 Leprechauns on the battlefield from my entire army. From the correspondence with my opponent, I understood that he was not doing well either. It was a real famine.
On the fourth day, I started by running to the Castle, where I declared destalinization and began to join small creatures scurrying around the main town. I constantly had to buy monsters from the dwellings and the Castle to maintain diplomatic relations. The turns were very fast. Lee also clicked on "pass turn" a minute after receiving it.
After joining the Leprechauns, Tigers, and Satyrs, I went to liberate the Griffins near the Thief Bank. With them, I went for the Air Elementals, which, however, never came in handy, and then - to liberate the Tigers near the 3rd Castle. The most interesting thing is that Lee was beating me in terms of army, and at that moment he already had a Grand Master runner, while mine only knew the advanced pathfinding skill.
On the gloves were Griffins, which I took with me, and I ran to the second Castle. Lee was ahead of me in this as well; he had already taken the second Castle. And in terms of army strength, I was only able to catch up with him on day 124. The same goes for the Castles.
On the third day, I bought a Life Mage, because I noticed the Tome of Life in the middle of the mountain on the first week. I didn't buy a fourth hero; I was planning to gather a lot of creatures.
Lee had much more serious plans for upgrading his heroes. His plan was "cool, insidious, cunning, and victorious" (c) Lee :D. In addition to the Heretic, he also upgraded a Chaos specialist and a Shaman with Tremor! Lee planned to catch my hero in the middle with the Shaman on the Sprite and harass me while he enriched himself.
In general, on day 131, I stepped into the middle of the Necropolis. The next day, I bought Elves from the external market. On day 133, I cleared the left mountain and almost reached the lower shrine, standing not far from it. Naive and unsuspecting, I passed the turn to my opponent, and Lee carried out his mischief - a Quicksand appeared on me from somewhere behind the mountains. Immediately, his hero ran up to me - he was one step short of attacking.
134. I attack.
My:
18 lvl Lord Commander with charm skill
17 lvl Bard 455 Nature with Nature book
14 lvl Paladin 555 with Life book
37 Griffins
2 Phoenixes
7 Manticores
209 Elves
His:
16 lvl Lord Commander
15 lvl Bard Master
10 lvl Heretic Chaos Expert
10 (!) Magic Dragons
2 Manticores
150 Elves
70 Imps.
Lee's evil plan did not succeed, and the battle was quick because he was in a hurry; he had urgent matters. In addition, I managed to block the Magic Dragons with Phoenixes.
After the battle, Lee wrote to me, "heal up while I come and finish you off." And I feel that the day will soon come when Lee will really finish me off on the spot. He made a great start in the early days, and he's playing Nature :eek:. I won because I knew the map better today.
