It was an interesting game.
Roads are slow, in one direction (presumably blocked by a guard) blocked by pegasi guarding a Dragon Utopia, there is an off-road exit onto grass and a descent into the underground. On the first week I took a mini Dwarf Cottage, external dwelling of ogres and cyclopes, and cleared the dungeon in the underground. Gunnisson runs around various stat boosters intensively. Home: levels 1-5 in the Castle, in the dungeon - a portal.
On the second week I regretted spending on the Castle, because there is no money for buying creatures and none is expected. There are no gold-producing buildings whatsoever, and gold is scattered rather sparsely. I go into the underground treasure zone next to the dungeon, buying a spellbook along the way and taking a mini Dragon Fly Hive. In the treasure zone - a chest for 10,000 XP (guarded by nearly 100 dendroids along with a cartographer - I barely killed them, losing my ballista), a +4 hat, a +5 cuirass. Still no money. Gunnisson is already fairly well leveled, but the opponent's primary skill from the first week is still showing. I clear the dungeon, double my mana, and go to the other wing of the treasure zone. There is another chest for 10,000 XP, 2 Dragon Fly Hives of 8 each. And then Vale shows up, having broken through the pegasi. I can't teleport home, so I clear the dungeon, build the second level of the Mage Guild - there is Bolt, excellent. Vale takes my capital on turn 137 with about 80 Marksmen, and Ivan suggests I surrender :). But we don't give up so easily! :smile19: I go to retake the capital, picking up another Dragon Fly Hive of 8 along the way. I position myself near the Castle, while Ivan brings up all the growth he could buy and attacks himself.
I had in reserve Bolt for 300 and 90 mana. From troops: 25 Swifts, 30 Ogres, 9 Cyclopes, 6 Griffin Birds, and chaff.
Ivan had nearly 100 Marksmen, about 50 Griffins, 15 Monks, about 20 Swordsmen, nearly 100 Pikemen, and 3 Cavaliers. In terms of stats, I was noticeably superior.
On the very first turn, the Marksmen get hit with a Bolt to the head, but in return (with two consecutive lucky strikes) they take down almost 10 of my Swifts :). And then everything went smoothly: the ballista works, the Bolt mows them down, and Ivan, frustrated, surrenders.
After the game, on edge, he starts accusing me that this is unrealistic and something is fishy. He even demanded daily saves, but after watching them, he seemed to calm down. I know myself how frustrating it can be to lose what seemed like a winning game, but in such moments it's better not to get heated, but to work on your mistakes.
Thanks for the game!
