PReDS (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def SAG (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran), 134, Jebus Cross.
We agreed on 2 days of restarts. In the first generation, one of the roads is blocked by 10-19 Necro horsies guarding a Pandora's Box, right hero Stracker, Shakti has 3 stacks, Harpies are not built. I build a guild, no Bless((, I attack, there are 6 of them, 2 with upgraded ones, thanks to the moat across the field everything goes well initially: I take out 3 stacks, the upgraded ones are held by Zombies at the edge of the moat, I should take out another one in round 4, and the last one flees around the moat. Then the Troglodytes get disheartened twice in a row and as a result, less than a hundred remain, the Pandora's Box has 20 gr. Medusas, but no external dwellings are visible, no money either, so a restart.
Second draw - 2 stacks, Lorelei as the second hero, Trogs less than a hundred, Harpies not built, but I immediately reveal an external dwelling of Medusas, 2 Dwarf Cottages, a Griffin Conservatory, Shakhti on the pillar immediately takes Defense. I decide to play, I don't upgrade Trogs - I plan to go for Medusas in the castle with a summon. On 112 I take Medusas, and while chatting with someone I hit the full stack of Medusas with Harpies instead of waiting, and only 3 out of 16 remain. Trogs around 70, an external dwelling nearby, but I don't touch it. On 113 a Dwarf Cottage of 15 in a stack with upgraded ones, then a max loot of rags for a Pandora's Box for 5K experience: Shakti has Log and Air. Lorelei runs along a long road to scout secondary skills, thank God it's without blocks that definitely need to be broken through - she scouts Weakness, just right against Necro. Solmyr on 114 with 4 Medusas and a Harpy heads towards the GO and discovers there after a couple of days an orc of Wyverns on the road or an orc of gr. Nagas slightly to the side, to choose. Shakti takes a Pandora's Box with 80 Trogs from gr. Vaskas, gets Barbarian secondary skill, buys a book there (immediately gives Haste) and breaks through home to pick up a single Griffin Conservatory with upgraded ones (turned out to be the only one on the respawn). Taking it, he runs to take the gold mine on the road behind the Grands, and the rest of the meat is chained to Lorelei to take the native town, which is guarded by first Eyes, Medusas, and Trogs (I think). Shakti, having taken the mine, stays the night at the Stable, next to which is a Pandora's Box behind an orc of Swords. I was off by 1 tile and Lorelei doesn't manage to take a secondary town on 117: there wouldn't be enough gold for the portal, but even building a Tavern would have given tempo. On 121 Shakti with 1 Angel, 12 Medusas, and single Harpies hits 6 of 12 with upgraded Swords for 10K experience, takes a mini Dwarf Cottage, and positions for splitting into the secondary town, which Lorelei finally takes because it has +6 to everything behind a stack of Wyvern Monarchs, a Well, a Sword + behind Diamond Golems next to the Well. On 122 all this is taken, for a Shield +6 behind gr. Liches a bit to the side I skip - GO will fall anyway. Near the GO, something guards a stack of Efreets, but Solmyr scouts a bunch of junk there. On 124 Wyverns with upgraded ones die, I thought for a long time about who to upgrade - Medusas or Trogs, even consulted with Stinger, but despite his advice, I still upgraded Trogs, deciding to win by hit points, and for the Mets to manage with speed 6, the decision was also influenced by having a Ring +1 to health. In the center, I freeze at a fork in thought, but Solmyr, who was keeping watch on standby, immediately scouts a Cap of the Fifth for 5-9 Giants along one of the roads, a Dragon Fly Hive nearby behind Unicorns. Shakti beats the ponies, Solmyr takes the Dragon Fly Hive (the first in the game, only found 1 on the respawn and gave up on it), scouting +3 to everything behind gr. Nagas a bit to the side, Shakti takes the Cap from the Giants, finally experts Air, with Fly beats the Nagas, takes the Necklace, casts Dimension Door to the Tree and the Gauntlets behind Swords. The next day the Wings are taken with a Pandora's Box for 10K experience - both go to Solmyr, who also scouts a Lookout Tower and from it, it's visible that the center is not bad at all. Shakti sits in the castle to replenish mana, having eaten an empty Pandora's Box beforehand. Around there are 2 Dragon Utopias, 3 Dragon Fly Hives in a heap, next to one of them +4 to everything. Everything is gathered by 132 and from the Stables we fly towards the blue player, who flashed on the periphery, took 2 Pandora's Boxes and ran back. On 133 Shakti sits in the second central castle, killing another 2 GO along the way and thanks to expert Scouting (which I took despite Vova's groans) sees on an adjacent Inferno respawn 2 Griffin Conservatories, the GO in a cell from the castle entrance. On 134 Hydras die, Moner, who was on split duty, takes 4 Angels from the Griffin Conservatory (now 5 of them!!), Shakti, upon viewing, determines the position of the Necro castle and with the help of Dimension Door catches Gosh there without an army, which didn't manage to return from taking the Dragon Utopia. Although it wouldn't have helped either.
Thanks for the game.
