Blacpoint (red, Dungeon, Shakty) def Javdet (blue, Rampart, Kurre) 135 2sm4d(3)
Started after a couple of restarts. There's an external dwelling of Minotaurs under the castle. In the tavern is Carna, who at level 3 took expert Necromancy. Farmed the external dwelling, collected some skeletons. Since I didn't manage to build the Portal of Summoning, I took 2 external Troglodyte dwellings. Found a minimal Conservatory, defeated the Griffins, and Carna rode on an Angel to collect skeletons. At home, 1-5 in the Citadel. On the second week, I took a secondary hero Conf (via off-road movement with Carna on the Angel) and the Rampart with the Miner. But I was immediately kicked out of the conflict, had no money to buy peace, so the Angel is lost((((( The Rampart's respawn resembles a carpet path, narrow, and on it only a single speck of dust... I beat an artifact +2/2 Attack/Knowledge from Mummies there and rushed back home since there was nothing to do there. At home, I built a Mage Guild level 2, a Mana Vortex, and Cats. My opponent takes the minimal Hive on his starting area. On the third, I somehow bought out all the Minotaurs and Troglodytes and head to the neighboring grassy respawn via off-road. Immediately on my starting respawn, I find a Blessing, itching to go into the home Utopia, but I decided to delay. I push through the grass, realize that the blue player has been active here for a while, but I don't quite reach the castle, and next to it I see a Pandora's Box for a few Bone Dragons. I pass the turn, the blue player immediately moves to that secondary and takes the Pandora themselves, my main hero hides in the castle. The Miner is a couple of moves short of reaching the Stronghold, but the Lich is excellent, and I decide to scout the situation with him. The Lich still has mana for 2 bolts, 135 damage each. I weakened his Grand Elves. I don't see any super troops there, though a fat stack of more than 30 Golems is concerning. I position with Poison on the +1 Attack booster and pass the turn. The blue player brings in reinforcements and attacks themselves. In the end, my Bolt + Blind turned the fight in favor of the red player.
Thanks for the game.
