Truly a god-tier game ... :)
Played Full-TE by RP rules with restrictions on the use of control. Used a modified Jebus with native villages.
Since a dispute regarding Gosha was already starting in the topic, we did without the same-faction hero; I gave Kobra a necromancer and took a barbarian for myself.
It seems all restarts were chosen, the distribution is average, no external dwellings are visible right away, but there is money, no blocks, and that's the main thing. Because the goal is behemoths in 3 castles, and external dwellings of behemoths are also welcome.
112 took the first village, immediately put a fort in it, grabbed a Pandora for cash — sehr gut.
113 placed birds in the village, bought everything up, shifted the chain to the opposite end of the respawn, took the second village, and also put a fort there immediately. Right next to it is a ГО — unupgraded hydras, sehr gut, we'll break them on 121.
114 placed birds there too, bought everything out and passed it back to the "papa" via the main hub, upgrading wolves and gobs there. Papa breaks a genie bottle for Pandora — 35 gr. orcs. The "loh" spots an external dwelling of behemoths.
115 I run to the same external dwelling, breaking through a +3/3 pendant and a +5 hat along the way, while the loh took the gloves.
116 the lohs recover the cash — max. dwarf-dwelling, min. medusa-dwelling, pass everything to papa and he breaks an external dwelling and a Pandora next to it — exp. Papa already has water, earth, and armor, absolutely class. The loh finds a second one slightly further from the first external dwelling; there will be many behemoths ...
117 papa takes the second external dwelling and crashes into the first village where the guild is being built (not enough resources for a 3rd behemoth-dwelling). Haste on the first floor, Word on the second; I sit down to replenish mana, and in one of the previous days, I also put in +1 attack. The loh with an army cleans up the territory for cash.
Build-up of the week — behemoths with orcs in the main hub and second village, birds in the fort in the first; there's a huge amount of money lying around, but 8 heroes are barely enough for the chains, there are almost no collectors, and as a result, the same is true for the money.
Also didn't take about 5 hives on the respawn because they were scattered not very conveniently; I would have had to hit them with lohs and then somehow drag them across rocks onto the road. Decided that the game wasn't worth the candle.
121 the loh finds a water book and a Dragon Utopia on the respawn, but it takes 2 days of travel to reach them, and I cannot afford such luxury against a necromancer.
Rebuilding the first floor — there is bless and stone skin; building a tavern in the second village, crash papa there, a long chain brings growth including external dwellings. Here I realized I messed up by putting orcs in the village — should have upgraded dogs to buy more of them on 121. But 12 behemoths are inspiring ...
Break the ГО, max out Earth. Break through the prison — there is a decent level Rashka and a +3 shield. Tyras's moves are almost gone, so Rashka takes the army, scouts slightly and sees the blue loh and Gosha next to him (he broke the ГО on 116). Advance pathfight allows reaching both.
Gosha has 8 weaves and 30 vamps. Combat stats are roughly equal, but Gosha has a book with haste and shield. I was close to losing; wolves dealt too little damage to shielded vamps, and hits only landed every other time — under haste they maneuvered skillfully, dodging behemoths and healing on the rest. In the end, Kobra got tired of this, and I started pressing him, forcing him to maneuver more instead of attacking. Plus there was a chance for morale or luck, so he decided not to continue resisting.
Kobra was let down by the fact that he didn't equip the +12 shield; with it, the vamps would likely have pulled through. And he didn't expect a red-rush, forgetting that in RP rules it is not forbidden. Moreover, he had an option to come to me on 117 and take the village, he had enough moves, but he deviated into the wilderness to collect artifacts and hives.
Thanks for the game !
