Through the eyes of Craig Hack.
I was sitting, drinking in a tavern. Then a girl named Luna comes up to me and asks, "Want to make some money?" Well, I love money, so I agreed. She explained that, this and that, she's a lousy warlord, but I'm so strong and famous... basically, she pawned her domain off on me. I took some stormtroopers and fairies, hired some helpers: one walking magma, priestess Adele, dwarf Ufretin, then I saved Gundul from the dungeon — anyway, we started inspecting the domain. On the third day, the magma took a barbarian fort, and I already decided that I hadn't refused Luna for nothing...
I'm walking through the underground, found a second exit, and there are blue elves!:mad: Hit, hit, and hit! Especially since I'd studied expert attack and defense and didn't forget to buy a magic book, though I spent half my mana. Anyway, I killed archer Yanova, and then old druid Elshar comes out at me. He brought an army that wasn't weak for the first week. We clashed quite a bit, but I had to bail from the fight:( While Elsh crawled home with 8 elves. Returning to my manor, I take various elementals: water and storm, then the native and beloved roc birds, well, and goblin infantry and cavalry, and I go to beat the blues' faces. But the blue ones aren't fools — they bought up the warriors and started sitting in their castle. I thought I'd tease them, so I went and looted the local crypts. An old acquaintance, Elshar, arrives, roasted me completely and beat me again, losing almost his entire army. But I had to run too. I return home and think: why the hell do I need this blue guy, there's nothing left to loot anyway, and I could lose a lot of warriors storming the castle... Anyway, I decided to make an alliance with him... to my misfortune, the benefit from him was inversely proportional to the initial amount of problems with him. Meanwhile, rumors reach me about the terrible death knight Clavius, who enslaved a whole angel and is actively stitching skeletons. I started pumping my strength: improved stats, found artifacts, studied logistics and pathfinding, but the trouble is, there's not much money for an army. In the end, I set off on an underground journey... looted some small things, beat some people, but learning that two of my castles had already been taken by the terrible enemy, I finally lost hope. Then I saw the enemy's house... luckily for my heart, I didn't see its guard... Well, anyway, I went to hit the house, but I was the one who got hit — I always knew you couldn't make an omelet with elementals!
In the end, I was 11-10-1-7, expert offense, defense, pathfinding, and advanced log:)

Overall, it was a fun run;)
Victory to Revan:)


Zybr(Mercenary)|Arandor(HW Lord)|Revan(Empire).

Holocron. Recording #1214.

Battle for HW.
Geographical location:
-The base was erected in the western tunnels. The territory is quite poor in resources, but well-positioned — it formed a kind of circle. It provided a good view and was inconspicuous to enemies.
-Both strategic goals were in the east. Two Counties were separated by mountains, however, they intersected in the lower city (controlled by red).

First week:
Everything is pretty lousy. All four elite soldiers (Vampires) were wiped out by the local population.
Conservatory spotted.
The entire army consisted of one battalion of infantry (50+), which suggested a collapse.
Second week:
Reinforcements received in the form of 6 Elite, already upgraded soldiers, a small detachment of infantry, and other resource-hogs. Took the conservatory. There we built our War Machine code-named "Angel" (:D).
Things started looking up; although resources were scarce, our ranks were constantly replenished with new infantry (mostly HW traitors who switched to our side).
Intelligence reported that two Lords had battered each other considerably — good news, this only plays into our hands.

Arandor, the sorrowful Lord
An exit from the lower city tunnels was found. An empty castle of Lord Arandor was spotted. It was taken as SUDDENLY as it was spotted. A new ruler was immediately sent to the city — Xi, a cruel tyrant. The entire population was enslaved, and strict laws were established. You couldn't even fart without permission. Recruited slaves: 38 centaurs, 22 dwarves. Also, "Dendroid" war machines were seized in the amount of 5 pieces.
The shipyard, located slightly further north, was under the blue flag, which suggested that Arandor and his Elite had fled. However, we didn't take the risk and gave him the opportunity to fly off the planet.

Next:
Mercenary Zybr was wandering the lower city, running wild. He was supposed to fulfill a contract given to Luna. Therefore, he set off to fight. He killed a couple of imperial agents without any trouble and took the city I had captured previously.

Descending into the western tunnels, I was attacked by a desperate red Agent. Trampled without discussion.
Another conservatory was taken. Four more "Angels" were produced. Stormtroopers are now nearly 600.
Red's capital and secondary city were taken.

After some time, Zybr made the move I expected — he attacked the main base. However, there was already a huge army there — enough to fight back.

The opponents surrendered. The Empire won. Hurrah-hurrah-hurrah :D

P.S. To be honest — this is my first victory :o
Overall — it was a great run (:
