wowa (necro, Goshany) def Felix (Conflux, random, Dessa) 141, эсэмка
The top gave me good spawns, Goshany had 3 stacks, next to the castle there was an external dwelling of skeletons
I upgraded them and we went along the 1st road – I ran to the opponent's Castle secondary town, capturing external dwellings of vampires and liches along the way
We didn't advance Necromancy at all – first we raised Armor, then we were offered Logistics and Tactics – I couldn't refuse)))))
Then I turned around and here's the 1st fiasco: I skirted around a horde of fire elementals guarding the artifact and the obelisk – but on the way back I couldn't be bothered to skirt around them, so I spent a long time estimating the number, but I decided there were 70, maximum 80 of them – 120 upgraded Goshany skeletons + a pack of basic ones + liches from the external dwelling would manage on their own land! But it was not to be: 7 stacks of 14 each and – the worst part – with an upgraded one((( Its single unit with 5 health removed the retaliation from the stack that was then attacked – as a result, the forty skeletons were left 1 on 1 with an untouched stack of fire elementals! And even though the terrain allowed striking after waiting, the 1st time we dealt minimum damage and as a result the main skeleton ended up in the tavern :(
I buy out the vampires at home, break through a bunch of sulfur and go with the liches by another road – by the end of the week through stables I grab the secondary town with a Rampart, at home the liches are in the Citadel without the upgrades
On week 2 I slowly ramp up – I got 4 secondary heroes, I grab another Rampart, take a couple of roadside hives and dive into the treasure zone underground, Necromancy finally expert :)
At home I have horses and upgrades in the Castle
On week 3 I start slowly farming the underground treasure zone from the stables, but the battles are tough – and basic Haste is clearly more useful there than the Word with unupgraded Earth Magic, but I have little mana
Near one of the hives I found gloves for expert Logistics, I was half a day short of reaching the Dragon Utopia (Goshany never saw it, Fiona scouted it later) but then from the Conflux respawn Dessa attacks the Castle secondary town – stats are modest, so I teleport home and intercept :)
Dessa runs ahead, levels up on neutrals but doesn't attack my Castle secondary town (from the scout view we spotted Goshany advancing) but returns through a portal to his side
I beat a horde of ice elementals for a Pandora's Box (experience) and run towards the red player, finally replenishing my mana at a well – 4 taverns reveal the blue player's army power and Goshany's higher stats :) next turn they all grow by another 2, and here we are at the red's respawn
At night a weak hero runs past – and even though I knew the red capital was in a different direction, I chase him, thinking that Dessa had already fled to that steppe and this was a delivery of backup gold for him – well, I spent the night on the opponent's unconquered Griffin Conservatory, which added 3 angels to the necro army :) but then behind me Dessa runs into my territory again, killing a weak hero with vampires and liches from external dwellings
On my turn I'm one tile short of reaching her – but the opponent, frightened by the length of Galthran's movement range, returns on turn 141 and sits in the capital, buying up all the birds and shooters along with the fire elementals, and on the remaining butterflies (actually the stable effect ended on turn 141 and I couldn't reach him, though the growth would have carried me, and then I would have merged anyway)))
And so FF: 3 angels, 19 griffins, 4 horses, 80 upgraded skeletons and fifty basic ones, 26 vampires and lots of liches with Animation and 60 mana, SP8, battle stats also higher – against 10 griffins, about 50 storm elementals, thirty water elementals and fire elementals plus small pixies in the castle...
In principle there were no problems, even despite the mouse slip when I struck the wrong spot and the birds didn't burn their own – Goshany had Ballistics and the 1st cast ;) while the horses and skeletons were smoking outside, the unretaliating vampires under Shield, who were being zapped by lightning and hit periodically by hands, were being Animated, and the number of shooters and birds in the castle gradually decreased – when there were 5 birds left, the red player decided not to continue the battle
GG, thanks to the opponent for the game))))
