Wic (blue, Stronghold, Tyraxor) def LeBron (red, Rampart, Ivor) @ 8mm6, 142
Having spent 21 restarts, we began.
111 Weak spawn - no external dwellings visible, money situation is also poor. Right next to the castle there's a Stadium and Academy, I boost Attack and run along the path.
112 A scout hero breaks through to the neighboring respawn, sees an elevator behind a nomad dwelling - like a village, returns the army back, the main hero runs along another path.
113 I run into the comp's respawn (Necro), see an external dwelling of peasants - sehr gut. But the road is blocked by a dwelling of gremlin bulls guarding a Dragon Utopia :(.
114 I take a one-Griffin Conservatory by the road.
Somewhere around here I saw red cockroaches. I go on the attack, hoping for Expert Tactics with Offense and an Angel. The red chain goes off in the opposite direction, taking all the troops away.
Don't really feel like chasing it - who knows how far distance-wise. I found a bypass around a horde of Energy Elementals blocking one of the roads and came out to a one-way monolith. Ended up reaching the comp-Stronghold on day 121, getting its growth. At home, birds in the Citadel, the comp has them too, Tyraxor with Advanced Logistics. Life is looking up...
On the 2nd week, I ran around the road system, collecting gold and leveling up. Captured the comp's Necro (non-native), near it took a two-Griffin Conservatory.
A scout hero who came to explore the red's territory runs into his empty castle :). Bought Dwarves, Dendroids, and Centaurs and holed up in defense. A bunch of Angels and Wyverns with +1 speed came to storm it, 5 Wyverns remained under the castle walls.
I'm preparing to take that Dragon Utopia behind the bulls on day 131. Money problems, not much got added to the build queue, only found an external dwelling of wolves on the comp's respawn.
131 visited the Library, but didn't quite reach the Dragon Utopia.
132 I take the Dragon Utopia - Tome of Water, Wings, Titan's Cap, Dragon Scale Shield. Level-up gave Water. Everything's perfect. I take the native Necro comp's castle, beat the Stronghold.
133 I see from the lookout how Ivor runs from above over it and enters a teleporter. I think about jumping over the cliffs and attacking. The opponent scares me with a Golden Bow. I have Mass Haste, but I remember the Angels had +1 speed, meaning the opponent might be able to block the Elves.
I run through the cliffs towards the red's main base, capturing the red's village and killing a few scout heroes along the way.
134 I take Rampart, run further along the path. I arrive at his village zone. I'm a couple of tiles short of reaching it. I forget to take the Wolves out of the reserve stack :). Lucky.
135 I take the Conflux village, with a Dragon Utopia revealed by the screen to its left-upper side, which I had spotted back in week 1 from the other side. I jump there, take it - Tome of Fire, Cuirass, Dragon Scale Breastplate, and Boots of Speed. I build a Mage Guild in the village.
Somewhere around here, a scout hero reached the opponent's native comp's castle - Stronghold, and it's not that far from my main base. I mull over the option of taking it before the start of the week...
136 I portal back to the village, build the University, buy Fire. I run down to the Cape of Speed, also revealed through the fog back in week 1. I get 30 Water Elementals from a Pandora's Box - a nice feast.
137 Near the Cape there turned out to be a Dragon Utopia - a minor one for Titan's Shield. A level-up advances Fire, I portal back to the Stronghold where Ivor had been lurking. Scary, but since the opponent complains that he's not getting tomes, only stats, I didn't stress it. I trade resources and build Haste in both castles.
141 I buy everything in the castle, jump down to the stable, then Town Portal to the native castle, buy everything there too, run down to the Griffin Conservatory and the opponent's Stronghold.
On his turn, Ivor jumps over the cliffs and takes one of the Strongholds. Lots of Angels, but the rest is mediocre.
142 I take the Conservatory (a two-Griffin one), jump to his Stronghold, picking up the Speed Gloves along the way and leveling Water to Expert. There's unclaimed growth there, I have full control and a significant advantage in movement points. The opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game!
