Mizrael (Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def Ahivog (red, Castle, Valeska, Tyris) Balance 143
We took a restart, it gave a small underground area, but there is an external dwelling of skeletons and a native secondary is visible nearby, just need to beat a pack of liches. On day 1, Gosha clears the external dwelling of skeletons, I build magic, and he stays home for the night (starting artifact +2 knowledge). On day 2, with Haste and a chow-down in the form of Centaurs from the third hero, I crush the liches + the secondary, there magic again and replenish. Day 3 + another native secondary through a portal behind a pack of Greater Basilisks. Day 6 + yet another! native secondary. Week result: 4 Necropolises, mostly liches + rags in the Citadel.
121 came a Bog-dweller with flies - beautiful, we speed up.
123 Inferno secondary behind a lot of Cerberi through a portal.
126 broke through 40+ Gold Golems at yet another portal, but on the other side a lot of Greater Cyclopes awaited me... forget it. Week result - scraped together enough for Knights, a really poor template, from money buildings only Dwarf Cottage at 10 per stack, saved only by the compact arrangement of castles via teleports.
131 Gosha breaks through the last unexplored patch of territory for 75 Marks (losses 21 skeletons, brought back the same amount :)).
132 Griffin Conservatory for 1 Angel and several Metro areas within reach, definitely broke through somewhere :)
133 broke through a horde of Ice demons onto grass and sent a scout - found Conflux and Necro with forts.
134 Necro-fort captured (the teleport behind the Cyclopes led to it).
135 Conflux taken, Gosha prepares to break through a Metro onto another patch of grass.
136 a scout finally found a passage to a zone with a bunch of artifacts, previously revealed by View Air, Gosha breaks through the Metro, while heading towards the artifacts.
137 Griffin Conservatory found, Papa heads there with all his might (risky to speed up, already week 3, though the opponent still has only 1 castle).
141 View reveals no one nearby - I speed up Papa before the Conservatory, and the scout with his might hits an artifact +4 attack.
142 +2 Angels, Papa is sped up a day's march from the Inferno secondary.
143 secondary taken, Papa hunkers down there with all his might - a passage to the reds very close behind a lot of Crash beetles. But news arrives of a wipe in the max-level Conservatory by the opponent. Thanks for the game.
