KostyaN (blue, Dungeon, Gunnar, Gunnar) def Geroinya (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 221.

I decided to see what Dungeon can do without a Miner:) . The game dragged on, so I'll describe it week by week.

Week 1: spawned at the top, ran around with 5 heroes just building up to 111 for the Town Hall:o , because for the first half of the week I thought everything was blocked off and easy money was nowhere to be seen, and the second half I was saving up to buy on week 2, seeing a decent build already:) ; the good stuff: Stables:smile13: , external market, the only native external dwelling - Troglodytes:D , 2 Dragon Utopias on the respawn, a couple of Crypts (which I decided not to touch on week 1, so as not to lose Troglodytes, since I had enough for everything and didn't really need extra heroes yet), captured +1 to all stats from 100 Hobgoblins, killed 20+ Witches with a upgraded stack on mud, but overall the week was so-so, and Gunnar ended up a total loser:( and didn't break through to secondary skills; built Cata... ugh - Cats:D in the Citadel with upgraded Troglodytes.

Week 2: upgraded Harpies, bought in, calmly took all the Crypts (2 out of 3 with Vampires:p ) - loads of money, for me (already 2 money heroes +350 on top;) ), took the max native tree at 125 for 35-40 trees, where Troglodytes were badly mauled due to incorrect positioning or splitting, whatever you call it:confused: : I split 150+ into 2 stacks, but probably should have kept it as 1 - could have wiped out the stack of Flies in one go:mad: , only 92 left - but the rest intact, even 21 Evil Eyes:), took both secondary towns (Inferno and Rampart) in one day by chain, also invested money into them, back home added Manticores and Castle with upgrades for tiers 1-4, Gunnar shot up compared to the turtle pace of week 1: level 10, starting skill slots - Expert, Defense and Fire (took it because I had both Curse and Haste in the spellbook:cool: ) - Advanced, Air - basic, 9-10-6-8.

Week 3: lost a bit of pace: either rushed into the wrong corner of the underground looking for the treasure zone, or entered the treasure zone without doubling mana and Stables, had to fight my way out, also took out the native Naga Bank 4*5 with upgrades, started slowly leveling Grinya on Medusas and Harpies, Dad finally took Wisdom, but overall slowed down a lot - a passive week for me, just like week 1:smile30: (didn't touch the Dragon Utopias - simply didn't have any convincing damage-dealing stack, and didn't want to lose troops for a lottery of Captain's Hats and Purses:) , besides, my opponent allowed me to play like that:o ... ). Back home, built the Capitol and Dragons.

Week 4: took the only 2 trees found by all scouts by this time:( , total of 20 ducks:mad: ; the treasure zone, the further the more interesting, experienced the power of Mass Curse fully - IMHO more powerful than Mass Shield:eek: :smile08: , too bad there were lots of Necro Knights, on which this miraculous spell doesn't work - they were the only ones that required thinking:rolleyes: , by the end of the week I decided to stop pretending to be a noob and simply took the undefended piles with what I had (including 49 Evil Eyes) - a tier 3 treasure, very lucky - Sword of Ruin, Book of Air and Water (though I'd already learned all Water spells from a chest), lost a few Troglodytes and about 8-9 Manticores, couldn't be bothered hauling the junk:D , and then the minimal treasure for Shield+5 and Helm:smile08: , the game became boring. Ideal skill progression: also got Offense and Earth, nothing extra, maybe would have swapped something for Archery:) .

Month 2: immediately sent Grinya with Grand Elves, Medusas, Harpies, and Rampart's Centaurs on scouting, then brought Dad in, Grinya captured Valya's helper's capital losing half the Grand Elves and a few Harpies, then Dad maxed Offense at two Wonder Trees near the humans, level 21 and 22 I think, also found a Beehive and a Library in the nearby swamps, just as Valya's main arrived with fat stacks, but thankfully no Archangels, I attacked on the last tile after visiting those wonderful objects and simply killed the red main heroine with 2 Chain Lightnings at 900 damage from basic Air (even without the Helm:) ) and 5 Implosions, losing 1 Evil Eye.

Thanks, Sveta, for the game! Gunnar with Stables is cheating:D .
