OUTLAW (blue, Castle, Valeska, Clavius) def Volland (red, Tower, Eine, Crag Hack/Galtran), 2SM4d(3), 1-3-3
I had to take the first rest on 112 along one road in the GO, the second was a blank. My opponent took one re.
Here we start with speed roads, archers are built, a necro in the tavern)). 4 steps from the capital there's a teleport, half a move away there's a metro to the opponent's adjacent zone and the GO is half a move away(((, everything is so critical...
I broke through to a secondary on the grass, where a Dragon Utopia and an external dwelling of unicorns are immediately revealed, nearby there's a Pandora's Box for 20-49 energies, few archers — I leave the chest for the 2nd week. The Rampart was unguarded, I scouted it. 3 crypts and all mini and pre-mini((. No Dwarf Cottages or Nagas visible((.
I broke through the metro to the lava towards the opponent's Inferno, sent a scout there. Then I broke through a teleport to the swamps, but was half a move short of claiming it. Week's result — horses with griffins and a citadel in the capital, 2 Griffin Conservatories revealed on secondaries, a library not far from the capital.
Clavius with expert necromancy and attack, basic logistics spends the night in the capital.
My opponent is also doing well, was actually keeping pace better than me — he claimed 2 external dwellings of gremlins, has nagas with a citadel at home, a Castle secondary, and Crag was just a step short of claiming the Inferno. Also had a Pandora's Box and a library near the Castle, 4 Dwarf Cottages, several Medusa dwellings.
121 — Valla claims the Swamp, clears the Imp dwelling, gives up the army, I buy what I can afford and clear the GG Pandora's Box for 10K experience, pick up Earth and Archery as skills.
Then I advance towards the Griffin Conservatory on the grass while accumulating bones, and there the generator kindly provided a stable where I upgraded the horses. Mid-week, the opponent reveals Gosha in the tavern with superior stats, I almost fell off my chair)). The Conservatory turned out to be a minimum((, I leave it to the scouts, and prepare to break through to the swamps to the 2nd Conservatory.
The scouts pick up 1 angel, the entire squad chains to the swamps, where the GG spends the night on an angel in front of the Conservatory with already expert Mass Slow. The Conservatory is mini again, I felt like breaking something on the table(((
End of the 2nd week: in the capital 1-6 with a castle, 3 external dwellings of Centaurs and an external dwelling of unicorns claimed, Clavius spends the night near the capital on 2 angels.
The opponent didn't waste time either. Seeing my necro in the tavern, he also started leveling a second Gosha. He cleared 3 Dwarf Cottages, a +3/+3 shield, also churned out a horde of skeletons and ended the week searching for the treasure zone, advancing towards the metro from his Inferno to my capital (the generator just placed the entrance to the treasure zone near this metro).
On 131, Clavius breaks through the library via the capital, the scouts deliver a +4 cap. My plan was to break through into the Rampart, where behind a horde of ice elementals there was a +3/+3 necklace for magic pairs.
But on 132, red flags appeared near the metro. On his turn, Clavius sits in the capital to replenish mana and hold the defense, builds +2 to morale during the siege.
On 133, Gosha emerges from the metro and spends the night on a +1000 experience rock next to my capital. On my turn, I check his strength and whether he has logistics with a scout. He has no morale artifacts, in his army besides his own there are skeletons and 20+ greater demons, so morale is terrible, only enough mana for one cast.
I upgrade the griffins, buy a ballista and with 100 mana points attack Goshan. With expert logistics, I hide the archers and monks. I cast Mass Slow for the first shot of the shooting units at a decent stack of gremlins, then I receive Mass Haste in return, but several of the opponent's stacks skip their turn due to anti-morale.
In the second round, Mass Slow again and shooting the crawling snow brethren. Then Mass Shield and more shooting. Goshan's skeletons never landed a hit, and when it came time to shoot the nagas, the opponent capitulated.
Thanks for the game!!!
P/S: I wrote for both, knowing Volland's reticence.
