OUTLAW (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, Castle, Valeska, Gurnisson), 2SM4d(3),221
111-112 visited the stable, revealed an external dwelling of horses with weak guards, captured the external dwelling of elves and was planning to break through to the secondary town on the crystal mines. But the next turn I find out that the guard has moved into the swamp and simultaneously blocks the passage to the treasure zone in the swamp (many groups of dragonflies) – brutal!!!
I redeploy the horses towards the capital. 4 heroes are more than enough thanks to the stable.. Upgrade the elves, head to the external dwelling of horses. Enough gold at the native respawn, development is standard building order. The 3rd slot grants Earth Magic – already great... I recruit horses and silver pegasi, break open the external dwelling of horses and recruit. I fight 20-49 ogres guarding 2 artifacts – I lose all the screening units and one horse.
A scout found a Slow scroll!!! Broke through to the secondary Tower town, having leveled Earth to Expert. At home I only built the Citadel, leaving gold for recruitment on 121. On 121 I take the Tower and walk home on foot, I'm too stingy to spend gold on dividing the army... Upgrade pegasi to silver and Kyrre, already at level 1 silver, rushes to the stable. I break the block on the crystal mines. Capture the Citadel, buy the spell book, cast Scuttle Boat and see 2 hives nearby behind the mountains not far... I give the army away for capturing 2 Dwarf Cottages, while I rush on the silver pegasus to the stable. At home – Castle with 1.000 gold
At the start of the 3rd month, I break through to the Griffin Conservatory(4) – even though I had mass Slow, the harpies periodically got morale, pecking to death everyone they could reach. Next, to the 2 hives, which on approach turned out to be 3!!! with 20+ Wyverns. Scouts revealed a Dragon Utopia not far from the Citadel, I decide to try it with Kyrre – maybe a level 1 or 2. Turns out to be level 2 – I take it on 137 – it gave +3 All Stats, Cape of Speed +2, Golden Ball!!! With the main hero I fight at the Citadel, visit the Well of Wishes and position myself in front of neutrals for splitting in the snow. From there I go to the underground treasury and on 142 I stand at a level 1-2 Dragon Utopia. On 143 I take it (level 1) – there's a Sword +12 and a Helm +5. Pandora's Box for all Air Magic!!
In the same treasury – several hives, at the marketplace I bought +10% to archery to add to my existing Bow +5%, Helm +6 All Stats for a horde of cyclopes and finally!!!! the last component for the Sniper's Bow – Feathers +15% !!!!!!!!!
A couple more hives. Kyrre – level 20 with stats 32-20-16-15. On 147, Gurnisson breaks through ГО with a group of Archers. I decide to abandon the capital and visit the 3rd treasury in the swamps above my respawn, from there I could always Dimension Door home, especially with Expert Pathfinding... 2 more Libraries and several hives... I take 2 Dragon Utopias (maxi and mini) – they give Wings, Boots of +2 All Stats, Fire Magic spell book, Cuirass +10, Shield +4... I also found Shackles of War... Pasha meanwhile was rampaging on my territory, sleeping in my former capital. He massed nearly 60 Wyverns, spending the night on 217 behind the mountain above his respawn, scouting ahead with Angels/Pegasi. Apparently Gurnisson got tired of inaction and decided to go to the Library, splitting his army into Tower on 221 and sleeping in the snow – that's what did him in..... Kyrre, level 23 with Expert Pathfinding, Wings and Dimension Door, of course could reach Gurnisson. On my turn I attack:
Kyrre lvl 23 (39-27-28-19) + Sniper's Bow +2 Speed + Golden Ball + Shackles of War
3 Angels, 21 War Unicorns, 58 Wyverns, 66 Grand Elves, 4 Silver Pegasi, 5 Dendroid Soldiers
Gurnisson lvl 21 (27-15-7-10) + Anti-Morale + Necklace of Reckoning
14 Archers, 21 Champions, 100 Marksmen, 30 Crusaders, 20+ Monks, 40+ Grand Elves and 18 Wyverns
In the first round, I Sanctuary my own Grand Elves, who with their double shot dealt almost 2000 damage. I took out all of the opponent's shooters along with the Ballista, then finished off the infantry. Then we reloaded to replay the fight where the Archers took out my Grand Elves in the first round, and again Kyrre won due to superior raw stats and a horde of Wyverns...
Thanks to Pasha for a magnificent battle!!!! :smile54: :smile54: :smile54:
