The roads are slow, the guards on the secondary's respawn are decent (as usual for me lately), so I break through to the secondary
only in the 2nd week.
First week - 1,2,4,6 in the Citadel, no external dwellings found.
Second week - native secondary (as it turned out, the blue's secondary was also native, but had been there from the first week), I see 2
Griffin Conservatories, tier-3 units, few archers - waiting for the 3rd week. Found an external dwelling of Swordsmen (Sorsha specializes in them).
Of the money buildings, only a couple of crypts were found (though with scouting of poorly placed loot, I managed to collect quite a bit).
Third - I take the Griffin Conservatories almost without losses, break through to the capital, run toward the opponent, build a chain to transfer troops on day 141. I find out that day 141 won't work; for such an operation, 10 heroes are needed (buy Swordsmen in the external dwelling, pass by the secondary - stock up there, then a very long journey to the capital, and the roads are slow, and from the capital - further - to the passage through the adjacent swamp respawn). In short, only on day 142 do I enter Ivor's respawn with the entire army (but I was afraid they'd get me on day 141). I must say, I wasn't planning to attack the opponent's "home" with the army in the capital; the parameters were roughly equal, the army was also equal for now, but I couldn't allow them to buy out everything from the two native castles, go to the treasure zone, and earn money and parameters there, etc. I was sure that buying out everything without that wouldn't be possible; the opponent's economy was weaker. I intended to "make myself at home" on their respawn, break their chains, take the external dwellings, visit upgrade structures, but then on day 142, the blue side attacks - as it turned out, Loi managed to buy out almost everyone.
FB:
Ivor (10-10-3-6 expert Earth, offense and archery + art 15%) 3 Angels, 3 Green Dragons, 13 Unicorns, 22 Wyverns, 61 Grand Elves, 28 Silver Pegasi, 24 Dwarves.
Sorsha (8-7-6-9 expert offense, armor, air, leadership) 7 Angels, 13 Champions, 43 Crusaders, 93 Marksmen, 136 Pikemen.
Ivor's first turn - mass Slow and cover of the Grand Elves, who take out on a direct shot 3 Angels, 6-7 Champions or 21 Crusaders (I checked later), shot at the Marksmen (-50 units), my turn - expert Haste (as a result, 3 stacks reach across the entire field - 7 Angels, 13 Champions, 43 Crusaders), the defense is breached, the Grand Elves are blocked. Basically, that's it, though morale helped of course, but then I tried to replay it - and even without morale, I would have won easily. Thoughts out loud - if the opponent had had Tactics, and instead of Pegasi, Wood Elves had been bought and there were more Dwarves (24 is not serious), the result could have been different; breaking through the double defense would not have been possible right away, and in the meantime, the elves would have been doing their dirty work.
Thanks for the game.
