The generator screwed...ed the game for both, but the opponent's nerves gave out first.
After resets, I get nice red lions on the road, the second road clearly leads to a secondary hero in the corner. There are 2 Hives. I ran around aimlessly, in building I went through Swordsmen, discovering a stack of Horses, a dungeon, and with low gold I go for Horses.
On 115 I finally broke through those 7 Scorpions and got out, thankfully Valya has Tactics.
After that, there were only swears - ГО in 3 copies, all as if chosen: Gr. Bears, over 100 Cyclopes, and up to fifty Giants with a decent chance of a Gr stack. Valya has Earth Magic, and although I didn't think of leveling her, I started eyeing up the Bears around 123.
Not meant to be...
Week 2 I build Mage Guild in all 3 - no Slow in any of the 3 castles, nor in scrolls or shrines... I tried buying/merging heroes hoping for some Gundula/Grindan... And besides, the untimely morale of Whips from the start killed 15 Marksmen.. In short, I was in shock. I still find the Griffin Conservatory, but already on tilt I forget to turn off Autobattle. The enemy could have fought worse :D, but Viva, 9 Monks and 6 Swordsmen are lost. Noobs were getting ready to take a couple more Hives when news of the surrender came. The opponent broke through ГО with just 9 gold, probably lost a lot, hit strong guards, got stuck, and surrendered (IMHO very premature, and unfortunately, for the full picture I don't know his remaining troops after breaking through ГО).
Regarding the communication in ICQ (via a Polish-Russian translator, which in my opinion is much easier), I have a very good impression, so with pleasure:
Dziękuje za grę
