Alex_R (red Dungeon Shakti, Shakti) def Stizko (blue Swamp Tazar, Tazar) 1-3-6 2sm4d(3)
Started with the first generation. Spawned in the underground, but I see the Griffin Conservatory, upgrade troglodytes and check - min stats :D I take it.
On day 3, Shakti level 8, everything drops, including 40 Grand Elves and 17 Minotaurs from a tomb with a Cyclops Tunic.... from money sources, only the Imp Hive and Gnoll Hive on 15, and I took secondary skills late, although it was 2 days from the capital to the nearest one, but by the second week I already had 3 secondary heroes and a miner headed to the treasure zone - I planned to clear everything with 250+ troglodytes, but during the split, the miner with a stack of troglodytes was covered in the tavern, and also upon entering the treasure zone on upgraded junk I lost all mana, as a result without Mass Slow I went through first, losing a few troglodytes on Necro Horses - and then even lost 90 units on 70+ upgraded Liches for a quest pendant :mad: the stupidest fight - they shot with direct arrow :(
Well, and then on 60+ Beholders I lost another half a hundred troglodytes, eventually leaving 20 Harpies and the remnants of troglodytes to clear out the small stuff, while I went home to refill mana, since I got all the land from one Pandora's Box, simultaneously built 4 floors in Inferno, and there's a Resurrection building and a town portal there :( ... first time I wasn't happy about that .... outran the castles - took the Griffin Conservatory for +3 Angels and a Cloak of +2 Speed, saw 2 Dragon Utopias but didn't get distracted - went after the opponent through 18 Black Dragons on my side and 11 Archangels +12 regular Angels on his, on 1-3-4 captured the empty capital, on 1-3-5 one tile short of reaching Tazar in the field, and on 1-3-6 I hit him in the Citadel of Conflux. Stats are similar, but I have more armies and magic.
Thanks for the game!
