Shakti is a maniac. Especially when he gets 3 slots and a native hero.
Dungeon spawn wasn't great... But the roads are fast + a solid starting army. The side road leads to the surface exit and a secondary, but it's blocked by ГО - black dragons.
I go down, pick up the +1 HP ring, gradually wipe out everyone, run into a max-sized mummy stack, where I lose most of my Troglodytes. Even my tactical tricks didn't help much. I see 2 external dwellings of Eyes, but I go with mushrooms and upgraded Troglodytes instead)
Next - the native secondary, but again I'm locked inside the dungeon...
A mini-Naga Bank (Nagas fizzled twice, barely touched me).
I go through the dungeon, pick up a +3/3 artifact behind Wyvern Monarchs, beat a Crusader horde and a mini-conflux.
I emerge onto the surface, do some light scouting, then head into the treasure zone.
I gradually loot the treasure zone, taking Pandora's Boxes without much trouble with my army — they give 15,000 gold plus experience, and 30 Monks with 20 Royal Griffins.
What was nice — 4 (!) external horse dwellings. Plus 2 from teleports...
In total, after waiting a bit and building up the cavalry, I take the pre-max and medium Dragon Utopias. Useful drops were the Sphere of Inhibition, Boots of Speed, and Wings. I buy out the army and head to the opponent, still gathering cavalry along the way.
I let him combine his two armies, but with 42 cavalry and 27 Knights the outcome was sealed. Even in the castle.
Thanks to Drake for the game.
