PReDS (red, barbarian, Crag, Crag) def SEM 56 (blue, swamp, Vistat, Vistan), 2sm4d(3), 147.
Started after 2 rests from blue. Start very scarce: Crag has a dozen and a half goblins and that's it. I cast Scouting, see a passage to a dirt path leading to a secondary hero behind many gargoyles, not far from it a passage to a treasure zone on native ground and immediately an angel external dwelling in it, the swamp secondary is guarded by many elves - bad, there's a Dragon Utopia on a respawn - good, an ogre external dwelling behind the mages - again not great. After buying the native hero, building wolves, the army is 40+ goblins and a dozen and a half hounds + a machinegun from Arlash. I decide: if I break through the gargoyles on 111 - I play, if not - a rest. I didn't buy a second hero with an army because the road was blocked by many flies and with non-native troops I wouldn't have reached the gargoyles over the rocks. The gargoyles' morale was decent; at one point 30+ goblins remained against three stacks of 8 gargoyles, my hope in the machinegun paid off - the gargoyles attacked it, the goblins skipped next to it and waited until 5-6 were left in the stack, then finished them off. I crawled out with 20+ goblins. Secondary hero - Necromancer; on the first turn with birds and the machinegun I beat off what I could: in the secondary there's a guild with a book for Crag, a market; at home a market, +1000 and 1-3,5,7 in the citadel. Crag level 3, took Earth magic. Lousy, but blue still has 1 castle.
On 121 I loot a couple of mills, bears kill flies on the road, there are a couple more chests there, Marusya grabs a Log. Crag takes a gnome dwelling for 20 with many. Then I broke through a passage to the sandy treasure zone, sent a scout hero there for reconnaissance, with Crag took the angel external dwelling and discovered that the main part was blocked by many Efreeti. By the end of the second day I explored the corner I got, there's a Dragon Fly Hive, killed some golems for some junk, took an Imp dwelling for 200 and a fight - when I attacked, I thought maybe I should surrender right away :) : 7 Rocs, 2 Harpies and a machinegun, Crag with advanced Armorer, mana for one spell with basic Earth magic against 90+ Nomads. Lost 5 Rocs and the machinegun - Crag got a Log! On 131 I take a Dragon Fly Hive for 8. I'm going after many Efreeti already, since the scout in the sandbox didn't reveal anything interesting, with 2 bears, 1+1 dog, 2 angels, 1+1 dog, 2 bears, no mana. Managed to save the angels, only one bear survived. In the mercenary camp there are some losers. But in the next one, behind the dogs - 3 Rocs. Finally I get out of this gorge and see Dragon Fly Hives, Dragon Fly Hives, Dragon Fly Hives and 2 Dragon Utopias. Took a few Dragon Fly Hives, a quest artifact for a horde of Medusas (Seer 2 hexes from the starting point, right on the road), a couple of preserves and rushed home - time to take the Dragon Utopias, 0 mana, and Marik just captured the +4 Hat and there's a spring near the castle. Also built +1 Attack, turned in the artifact - 20K exp. With expert Logistics I ran fast enough. On 141 take +2 to All Stats and another Dragon Fly Hive behind a crowd of Genies, +2 Attack/Defense for Gorgons - the first stat artifacts. 142 - Dragon Fly Hive, Shackles of War, overnight at a Dragon Utopia. 143 with brought many Ogres I go into the Dragon Utopia: 5 angels, almost 30 Wyverns, 12 many Ogres, single goblins. Level 3 - for 8 Ogres and singles got +6 to All Stats, Sphere of Vulnerability (just right for the 2 remaining ones), Book of Fire (expert Fire). Next max-level one, with +6 to All Stats and Sphere I lose the remaining Ogres and singles - Hat of the Fifth, +5 to All Stats, Sphere of Inhibition and junk. The last Dragon Utopia in the treasure zone - some nonsense and Flight to the Dragon Utopia on the respawn (got Air in the last slot, but only basic), noticed blue's movements near the GO. On my 145 blue hits a double GO and takes the starting one, killing the weekly growth there - lots of meat, no stats. 146 - I take the Dragon Utopia on the respawn with a +12 Hat and Dimension Door to the well to refill mana (I already drank from the spring on both sides). Vistan attacks Crag, slows everyone down, I buy peace since I was overnighting in +6 to All Stats without the Hat of the Fifth - hard to take down 37 many Bulls by hand. Vistan runs toward the swamp secondary, kills the scout hero with Gnolls and turns toward the Library. On 147 Marik with expert Logistics takes the starting castle guarded by Rosik with 1+1+1+1 flies, losing the dogs. Crag is bought out in the swamp castle, takes 17 many Basilisks there with a tent, visits the Library himself, and I attack with the Sphere of Vulnerability equipped (turns out there was even a resistance artifact), Hat of the Fifth, I still don't equip the Shackles of War. In the first round I messed up by sending an Imp into many Wyverns instead of the Bulls, of which there were 37 (double build and external dwelling). They barely dealt damage, but their ability crushed me. Stats more than double and Imp almost 2000 stronger won.
Thanks for the game.
