Started rather sluggishly; managed to level necromancy early, but lost skeletons to fast units and shooters. By the end of the week, horses in the stronghold. At the start of the second week, brought in 5 horses, took a secondary tower; roads are fast, but the run was far - spent a lot of time. Along the way, 2 nagabanks 3-4 and 2-3, and consa 3-4. Discovered 2 underground treasure zones, broke through 4 guards, 2 of which were monks, 1 was elves, 1 was vampires. Monks misfired once, heavy skeleton losses, -1 horse due to stupidity... In the end, didn't go for the banks - went to another part of the map to breed skeletons; have an amulet of the necromancer with me. Sent the horses into the treasure zones, but both immediately hit blocks - 10-20 ghost dragons and 5-10 black dragons. By the start of week 3, things are quite grim. I'm moving around hitting various small fry; no need for a large army yet, so I calmly build a capitol. By my count, my opponent has at least 1 secondary respawn - grass-type; worrisome thoughts arise about my own secondary and an imminent invasion :confused: (turned out to be 3 grass-type spawns, one of them with a native secondary). By the end of week 4, finally gathered for the treasure zone. With me: 10 grand cavaliers, 19 grand liches, 800 skeletons, and so on... Found nothing worthwhile in the treasure zone, except a box with 8 grand cavaliers. Need to go to another one. On the way, popped into the tower, learned teleport (later learned water magic with it as the last skill). Just as I entered the treasure zone, Grisha attacked the GO the following turn. His army isn't very impressive, but his spell power is 27 :eek: . The treasure zone turned out to have 3 utopias, one of which was the maximum. In total, I collected Sword of Justice, Tome + Sphere of Air, Necklace +3 to all, Titan's Cuirass, Helm of the Seer; skeletons already over 1200, have expert water magic. Grindan himself ran to me near the utopias, and after visiting the last one, I attacked. My stats had seriously increased, and I mowed down practically his entire army with two chain lightning spells. My opponent also cast one chain lightning on the death knights; in the second round, he cast resurrection on the shooters, didn't retreat, and accepted death in the third round.
Thanks for the game.
