ГО not on the road.
Week 1 - Horses in the castle, external dwelling of elves, native secondary.
Week 2 - Dungeon secondary, dwarf dwelling, minimum cons. Another external dwelling of elves on the native respawn. Passage to the swamp secondary is broken through, but my scout gets killed there by blue. That secondary is adjacent, and it could have been rushed, but somehow it didn't work out :), by silent agreement we decided to grind until we were numb. I really wanted to level Tactics first so that my elves wouldn't be blocked in battle, but it wasn't meant to be - luck with skills wasn't on my side in this game.
Week 3 - I learn Slow for my Expert Earth. Cons level three, library, minimal hives, crypt. Two treasure zones are not fully explored. The first is in the underground, adjacent to my dungeon secondary. There's a Sword of Justice, Necklace of Dragon Teeth, and 2 libraries. The second is also in the underground, but the entrance is from the Rampart secondary's respawn, I lit it up from the dungeon respawn with a torch; there's a Speaker's Cap right at the entrance. There were also red and white orbs of interest lying around, but I never got around to them.
Week 4 - I farmed the first treasure zone, while Shakti reached it, but a hundred Snipers guarding a hives and the Ring of the Wayfarer blocked the passage there. Next to them lay a Titan's Gladius; at that time, the Miner's parameters were decent - Attack/Defense around 12/20. Given these parameters and the fact that the Sword of Justice was with me, not Shakti, it's obvious the Titan's Gladius would have been no hindrance to him, but I, deciding I was already megacool, left everything for blue and didn't fight the Snipers. Next, I take cons level two and the Dragon Cliffs on the Rampart respawn and run towards the blue cap.
Week 5 - The cap is taken. Still no Tactics, there are many elves and Implosion for 1650 (with Spell Power 18), but Shakti is also growing in parameters and has already been caught using Fly (or wings) and Town Portal - I don't remember exactly when he was spotted, maybe earlier. There's also an earth treasure zone, unexplored - I go there. From the artifacts there, I only took the Cape +10% to magic resistance, and even that I forgot to pass after we took a break. In that same treasure zone there were 3 hives, a library, and there was a Dragon Utopia as well, but the path to it was blocked by a border guard, for which I didn't have the key. :(
Week 6 - Return home. Shakti seemed luckier in his travels, he attacked Ivor in the capital. As for who had the better chances, I'll refrain from evaluating. I think the opponent's main mistake was casting Resurrection once instead of Implosion and changing artifacts before the battle. My Implosion was for 1875, and the Miner's for 1912 (with Spell Power 13). Slightly more than half of the Dwarves survived, about the same number of Centaurs and Pegasi. Ivor wins nonetheless, thanks for the game.
