Decided to play a friendly game with Diman without any rules :smile51: all-random + bright colors, emphasizing the friendly atmosphere of the match. Dima picked 111 and off we went.
Got Shakti and a bonus artifact +1 speed. I notified about it and offered a restart. But got a refusal — so there must be something ;) Upgraded the Troglodytes and started easily smashing everything in my path. On day 113 visited the underground cartographer. Now I can see everything. Galthran and the native computer are revealed... But Shakti wandered too far looking for the cartographer. And then Ciele gives Intelligence in Scholar and Logistics next — mother of all stats!!! At the respawn there's an external dwelling of Medusas. Killed the native computer. On day 117 built Medusas in citadels in both castles + portals + external dwelling. By day 121 I have 46!! Medusas running rampant. The second week passed at some slow pace. Only took a Pandora's Box at the respawn (25 Evil Eyes) and leveled Logistics to Expert. I decide to build the guild — everything for resource searching. On the third week I finish construction: on the 4th floor Clone and Armageddon, and on the 5th — Dimension Door. Tons of mana!!! Too bad no Air. But I get Diplomacy!!! Killing everyone to get it to Expert faster. Meanwhile Shakti storms the computer's castle... But there's a cheater Solmyr, buffed with mana, and he smashes me to pieces :D The computer even hid him upstairs so I couldn't see :D But the map is revealed and I run the optimal route collecting Wyverns! I get Air!!! 4 Dimension Doors :smile44: From there it's simple. Run and gather. I fly to the Dragon Utopias. Galthran appears. I clean out the Dragon Utopias, a short connection, and I attack. My stats are lower, but I have the entire gentleman's set. :D The FF didn't last long, but it was fun. Poor Goshan couldn't hold up. The funny thing is that my entire army could be bought off for 27000. Just hilarious! Diplomacy FOREVER, so a draw! Thanks for the game, Dima, it was fun! ;)
