Due to the game being replayed, I am deleting the previous report.
I had wanted to play as Barbarian for a long time, but somehow they never let me :). I had almost no experience playing as them, and as a result, I didn't pick up the level 1 Griffin Conservatory on the first week, because I had lost some of the necessary troops on a horde of Centaurs before that. A bunch of small mistakes throughout the game — either I didn't have time to exchange resources and build the Stronghold (not enough time), or I couldn't fight properly.
And the "richness" of the respawn is striking for the second time. On 3 respawns (2 Confluxes), not a single monetary building that can be taken on the first week. The Medusa dwelling was there for a crowd, but who knew it was 20.
The hero leveled well, but I decided to take Resistance at level 3, because at level 5 they might have fobbed off some junk spell. Therefore, I only upgraded Earth Magic around level 12. The plan was to rush the Dragon Utopia in the grassy treasure zone, and then go to the sands; a Dragon Utopia was visible there, but I only started doing that on day 141, and Invisible had already come to visit (he took the first Dragon Utopia on day 133 :smile42: and then one or two more), and in general, his cash flow was chocolate from the start. + a double build (third time in a row, by the way).
I was banking on two Confluxes, plus 2 external dwellings of Water Elementals. With the right tempo, I could have put up a fight, but as it was, GG.
Notable in the game was the battle of Water Elementals (41 units) and Angel + Pixies against 14 Hydras, 2 of which were upgraded (without Expert Magic, Spellpower 2). The Water Elementals under Bless dealt 351! I came out with the loss of 4 Water Elementals (one lost stupidly on the last turn).
Thanks for the game!
