Started with first generation. Spawned in the underground, but I see a Griffin Conservatory, so I upgrade troglodytes and check - minimum requirement :D I take it.
On day 3, Shakti of level 8 drops everything: 40 grand elves and 17 bulls for a tomb containing Cyclops' Tunic.... From the money ones, only the Imp Hovel and Dwarf Cottage for 15, and I took secondary skills late, although the nearest one was 2 days from the capital, but by the second week I already had 3 secondary heroes and the scout headed to the treasure zone — I planned to clear everything with 250+ troglodytes, but during the split, the scout got covered along with a stack of troglodytes in the tavern, and also upon entering the treasure zone on upgraded rags, I lost all mana; result: without Mass Slow, I first went through a bit, losing troglodytes on Necro Horses — and then even lost 90 of them on 70+ upgraded Liches for a quest amulet :mad: the stupidest fight — they shot with direct arrow :(
Well, and then on 60+ Roc birds, I lost another half-hundred troglodytes, leaving 20 harpies and the remnants of troglodytes to clear out the small fry, while I headed home to refill mana, because one Pandora's Box gave me all the land; simultaneously, I rebuilt 4 floors in Inferno, and there's a rebirth fountain and a town portal there :( ... the first time I was not happy about such a thing.... I outflanked the castles — took the Griffin Conservatory for +3 angels and a cloak for +2 speed; saw 2 Dragon Utopias but didn't get distracted — I went at the opponent through 18 black dragons on my side and 11 archangels +12 regular angels on his; on 1-3-4, the capital was taken empty; on 1-3-5, I was one tile short of reaching Tazar in the field; and on 1-3-6, I beat him in the citadel of Conflux. Stats were similar, but I had more armies and magic.
Thanks for the game!
