Probably in support of my efforts in past games to determine the winner based on more than one game, I was kindly offered to play until two wins. And the finalists are in no hurry to finish. I, of course, accepted the offer. And on top of that, a gift on the draw – Conflux!
...
Thanks for the fight! A mega game in terms of intensity!
1-1.
I confirm and congratulate you on a well-deserved victory!
Well, let's begin, I haven't played like this in a long time, probably since those showdowns in the Chaos League in the final stages against people like Canabis, Eric (Vam Rad) and Mikhail (MIzrael).
Used rests, not the first time for me ))
Second hero a necromancer with meteor shower and an external dwelling of Behemoths under the castle – already had plans on what to spend that meteor shower on, namely on the guard (up to 19 stacks of Dragon Flies)
Dragon Flies came with the hero, so I have Archers (with buyback it became 15), immediately [build] a Crypt with the necromancer to increase the number of Bones and if it turns out to be maximum + hope plus rain. Tazar with an army on a fast road, didn't reach the guard.
Bought 4 heroes, because all directions are covered, remaining 5.2k $, one secondary [skill] is Earth Magic (through a stack of Cerberi – not needed yet), Griffin Conservatory is there.
112 Tazar runs into 20-49 stacks of Archers (Marksmen) without even seeing what the guard is and what the secondary [skill] is (or even the Mage Guild might be there), and then came the moment to decide who to level – DESSA (I've refused a Logistics of this level many times, but not this time)
Build a Wyvern – because I don't want to take Bones into the Crypts (already few troops and also a morale penalty), I go into the max and pre-max Crypt with 2 Wyverns, 15 Archers and around 40 Skeletons (result: 11 Lizardmen, 2 Wyverns and 29 Skeletons intact = Earth/Air 2225), bought another hero and 6.2k remaining.
113 Another hero, Dessa saw the Mage Guild (this is the 3rd road out of 4), Dessa visits everything that gives + to parameters, even attacks faster ones (Air Elementals, which I try to avoid), all turns Dessa on fast travel on a Dragon Fly, remaining 9.5k
114 Scouts take the 4th road and run into 10-19 stacks of Demons in the Underground and see an external dwelling of Dragon Flies (behind Archers), destroy the Crypt, Dessa captures the Arena (+2 Attack 5225), another hero purchase and Behemoths built with buyback and transfer of the entire army to break through the block to the secondary zone (where Taz[ar] didn't get through)
115 Army on a scout (lvl 1) 8 Archers, 2 Wyverns, 3 Behemoths, 21 Skeletons and a tent break through up to 19 Gold Golems (for the Barbarian secondary zone) – immediately return the army and capture the external dwelling of Behemoths (Basilisks built and bought to help) no losses among Wyverns and Behemoths (the tent helped too – took an extra hit, the Wyvern was on the brink)
116 Dessa could have captured the guard of the Conservatory behind a stack of Gargoyles (but went through rough terrain +1 and +1 to Defense – calculating that on turn 121 she would be in the Conservatory), I break through with Taz[ar] a stack of Demons, and in the Underground 50-99 STACKS of Lizardmen – why such a gift??? :mad: , I have to return some army to capture the external dwelling of Dragon Flies (so that the stack of Lizardmen gets blocked in the 2nd round), remaining 4.5k
117 I buy out from the external dwelling of Dragon Flies and break the guard on the secondary zone – Dungeon, immediately enter the Dwarf Cottage near the castle 30 units with a stack of Elves (oh how good, we'll take it on the second [month]), the army returns to Dessa, she captures the guard of the Cons[ervatory] – alas, a penny
At home: 1-6 in the castle + external dwelling of Behemoths and Dragon Flies, in the Dungeon only the Tavern, remaining about 2k, Dessa 6426 (expert Attack, basic Earth)
121 Buy another scout, delivery of the small army, I pick up the Angel, leave Dessa 1 Angel and 1 Dragon Fly – break through with this through a stack of Cerberi to the Earth Magic secondary zone, there a Crypt, buy all Behemoths and Wyverns and transfer to Taz[ar] for the max Dwarf Cottage (gave Logistics and Earth)
122 Dessa captures the Prison, visits the Stable, transfers the army to the freed hero and ends the turn in the Dungeon (there she speeds up on a Dragon Fly and builds the Mage Guild), this scout captures the Human secondary zone and heads back to return the army, another scout with the second army (Behemoths/Wyverns/Archers) destroys the Medusa Pond
123 Picked up the Gauntlets near the Dungeon, killed about 50 stacks of Demons for part of the Legion (+2 to Behemoth growth), only 1 hero on reconnaissance ((, the rest in the chain – such were the long (fast!) roads
124 Scout with the entire army miraculously)) on the last cell reaches the Observation Tower (although on the previous turn he could have moved him closer/time ran out and Dessa didn't use a couple of cells): Conservatory, exit from the Underground, Naga Bank, Dessa with 1 Angel and a bunch of stacks of Dragon Flies cannot get the army, so she just goes to capture all the guards, I enter the Cons[ervatory] (again mini - 7457 (130 mana) we take) and take a position in the Naga Bank on the 2nd with a stack of Elves, could have destroyed it with what I had (but wanted to break [my skills] through it)
- opponent's turn: dives into the Underground which I just revealed and surfaces
not far from the secondary zone, the opponent has GG Grindan (mage) I need to go into battle (I decided so), even though fighting on Earth (( and no Haste
125 army transfer, skill breaking in this Naga Bank, buyback in the Dungeon, Mage Guild 2, and into attack:
pictures
I fought the battle at 2- , except for the last round where I left with 17 HP, I killed 2 Angels out of 2 for the opponent, 2 Phoenixes out of 4 the rest not important
126 Dessa on a Dragon Fly in front of the Barbarian secondary zone, no army )), Grindan circled around and left, the opponent's scout gave a [Wind]bird to my scout with 5 pennies of stacks of Dragon Flies and a Lightning Bolt for 85 !!!
127 Dessa receives 7 Evil Eyes and a bunch of common Dragon Flies to break through 50-99 Pokémon, took the secondary zone immediately build Birds, take the Cons[ervatory] and Medusa Pond (ore ran out and resources were already in the move)
131 Upgrade Birds and with 6 Thunderbirds and pennies of Goblins free a hero from under 5-9 Nagas (there expert Logistics), took the Medusa Pond
132 Scout captures everything tasty (concerning gold with the help of Birds) and finds out that the Cons[ervatory] is 2-4 (( (nothing yet), Dessa receives the army (already 4 Birds, 1 killed and 1 with the scout) into the castle more Goblins and break the Medusa Pond again, there I see an external dwelling of Hounds, a Dragon Utopia and a Dragon Fly Hive
133 Behind the Drag[on] Fly Hive +8 Wyverns (and that's having brought my own 4 from home, got 1 Wyvern killed in the Hive)
134 Dessa on a Bird (11 maximum speed for the turn) in front of the Cons[ervatory]
135 Cons[ervatory] +3 Angels, skill breaking in the Human secondary zone (there's also a Cons[ervatory]), immediately receive the army through 6 heroes, destroy the Naga Bank (seems like the 4th one – already doesn't matter which)
136 Dwarf Cottage and here I enter the Cons[ervatory] and it's MINI I'm in shock (almost 2 days through rough terrain, and the plan was Cons[ervatory] --> Dragon Utopia on Barbarian --> skill breaking at home --> speed boost before the Mage Guild --> capture the enemy capital on the first day)
137 Plan slightly failed by 1 day, oh well, it'll be without the Dragon Utopia, skill breaking, almost the entire turn for Dessa with Gauntlets and I still don't reach the Mage Guild (this goes to show how long the roads were)
141 Buy on pennies and + Market, 19 stacks of Phoenixes without Tactics – only got out with Angels (4 out of 4) and 7 Wyverns out of 15, (didn't take Behemoths 9 units), the scout gives what I didn't take to the Mage Guild (18 stacks of Hounds/9 Behemoths) and I take the opponent's town (we have 5 castles, cash 0, resources 0) – here's a serious mistake I can't buy a scout !!!
142 Need to buy out in the Barbarian castle, I transfer the army into the chain and myself break [my skills] against the second Mage Guild stack of Minotaur (I was hitting what stood on the road, would have hit them (100+) even without Slow (probably)) – no cash so I remain unbought, along the way scouts pick up Pandora's Box for 25 or 35 stacks of Wolves (I wouldn't take them to the Dragon Utopia anyway, asked for money in the Pandora – didn't give)
143 Dragon Utopia on 1st Day of the Week: I've never broken such a Dragon Utopia only +2 to Spell – the same feelings as Russia – Slovenia ...
what to do next the opponent only has 1 castle and it's like he's in the treasure zone (finally leveled Air), I decide to just take all the castles
144 Buy out in Conflux buy the opponent's army except the Birds (which were already bought long ago) and head for the secondary zone
opponent's turn, the scout takes his native castle (this was easy to do given how many external dwellings I saw) and then a portal by Grindan (not skill breaking, if I'm not mistaken during skill breaking the hero should appear on the map as a new hero and be marked with a white dot, and not his color (blue/red))
145 I transfer my army to Dessa, take back this castle, buy a scout and oh miracle on the path from the castle (for Dessa) a Dragon Utopia and in front of it Grindan
146 Fatal error ((, I myself attacked Grindan for death, while I could have left with 19 stacks of Behemoths 5 Phoenixes 4 Angels into 2 treasure zones, where in both there was something to outmaneuver the opponent
Thank you for the game!!!
P.S.: Michurin championships need to be revived :)
