We restarted a lot due to crashes on my 1st turn; in the end we took restart: me 113, opponent 111.
I opened the view, dragons are slow, gold is lying around, and off we went... I ran out first scout hero forgetting to upgrade the Centaurs... for the first time in all generations of this game and actually in my last few starts as Rampart I didn't upgrade the Centaurs on day one, messed up buying troops and was a bit short for a 4th hero. I took the experience monolith and the mage hut — there was artifact there. On day 2 I upgraded Elves. Well, I sent half the scout heroes through artifact and experience, 2 came out with advanced artifact. I found a Pandora's Box on the way with 5000 gold for 12 Storms, by day 5 I had 9 heroes, 2 with 350, 2 with 250, and 1 with 125 gold :). I also ignored Nielka and bought Dimer. Took the native secondary, bought a spell book there, and by day 7 I had 1-3 Fort, and at home of course 1-6 in Castle (without Dwarves). Too bad there were no caches at all.
Ivor aimed at the lot of Grand Elves guarding the Boots of Speed, and Gherulf ended his turn at the minimal Griffin Conservatory with 2 Unicorns, 12 Grand Elves, 40 Centaurs, 1 Pokemon, and 4 Dwarves — didn't take it. On 121 I didn't dare attack again with that army — I brought from the castle 4 Unicorns, 9 Grand Elves, and some Centaurs — we killed 4 Grand Elves and some chaff, but the chain couldn't pass either the Angel or the army to Ivor — he stood a turn near the Elves.
122 I take the Crypt, Boots, and Medusa generator. I revealed a broken underground passage near the secondary and a Dragon Fly Hive; on the way there, another Dragon Fly Hive — I decide to go there (kind of a rush). Dragon Fly Hives at 6 and 8, a max Imp cache, and 2 more Crypts.
I dive into the basement — Blue's was scary to go to the capital — I decided to break chains and take secondaries.
I took a Conflux secondary without a fight and there I took the entire 4th floor from 12 Bone Dragons, but what do I need it for? Magic 2, Knowledge 1 :( no mana... no magic skills. I bought Earth and Air in Conflux in the last slots and ran back towards Blue's capital, and a scout hero reveals that in the capital there are 4 Cats, a lot of upgraded Harpies, Troglodytes, or a lot or a horde, and a bunch of regular Medusas, and no Beholder, Arlakh and Deys.
But who knew :( in short, on the next turn Shakter was already there too, but not all troops, as in the snow at another secondary another hero was spotted with more troops.
I dive in with boosted Ivor — it's enough :) I decide to hit the castle without magic using what I bring.
1 Angel, 6 Unicorns, 14 Wyverns, 30+ Grand Elves, 13 Silver Pegasi, 70+ Captain Centaurs.
At home still 4 Unicorns, 14+7 Elves, 15+6 Wood Elf Pegasi, and some Centaurs and Dwarves, but I didn't push resources in, since I already built 3 floors in the secondary.
I kill Deys and Arlakh and attack Shakti: 4 Cats, 12 Medusas, 49 Troglodytes, 24 Harpy Hags, and 5 Air Elementals.
Combat parameters are almost equal — but he has 5 Spell Power and 8 Knowledge, 80 mana — he also controls the towers and casts Mass Slow. I cast Haste on the Wyverns in response, and they can't reach, in the first round only approach, Elves exchange fire with Medusas.
In the second round, magic arrow and towers hit the Wyvern (-3).
I kill 42 Troglodytes with the Wyvern, cast Haste on the Angel and finish off the Troglodytes with the Elf — so the Angel fly in and block the Medusa — luck was with the Angel — 2 Medusas left. Pegasi took out the Air Elementals... opponent left the game.
Thanks for the game!
