Dreamcatcher (Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Vitalic (Tower, Nela, Luna) 1-2-5, 2sm4d(3)
Unfavorable map generation; I only had one path, and it wasn't a good one, leading through rough terrain. I managed to reach a secondary grassy area, collected some resources, but didn't make it to a castle. By the end of the week, due to a lack of mercury, I couldn't build Gorgons, but I did manage to build Hydras and a Stronghold.
I mentally prepared for a quick encounter. It happened in the second week; Luna visited – 2-0-7-3, 148 Golems, 3 Nagas + some minor units, Tazar 3-7-1-1, 1 Angel, 2 Hydras, 5 Imps, 3 Minotaurs, and the rest. After a Haste spell on the Angel and an attack on the Golems, my opponent conceded.
Thanks for the game!
It happened; I played without restarts, and it was a mistake. On day 111, I pushed through to reach 49 Fire Elementals with an upgraded stack and 17 Imps; the morale-boosting creatures consumed a lot. On day 112, I revealed the map and realized I had rushed; two hidden Golem stacks could have helped me achieve everything without losses. I thought I could manage, but a severe lack of money and the absence of a mine did their damage. On day 124, I pushed through from the Underground to the Swamp, saw a +4 attack artifact lying there, and decided it wasn't my opponent's territory. But after taking my turn, I realized I was in trouble; there were 3 Necropolises, 3 Medusa Archers, and a Naga bank right next to the road – easy pickings. I couldn't escape from the Swamp... There were two other good options, but it wasn't meant to be.
Thanks for the game.
PS, sorry – I let the team down:smile35:
