The restart didn't go very well; Stas guessed well while everything was normal for me.
Only 1 road was distributed, ГО across the wilderness; the only road led to 10-19 Pit Fiends with a Grand Stack, who were only 1/3 of a move away. I broke through, took the Castle secondary and the Archer external dwelling. There are absolutely no money buildings on the home territory; on the Castle secondary—3 Crypts (Mini and Pre-mini). Put Bulls and Viv in the Stronghold overall. Few prospects, but there are 2 Griffin Conservatories on the Castle secondary, an entrance to the Metro for Archers, which I didn't risk going for in week 1.
In the second week—broke through Elves and Harpies for the Metro entrance, but 20-49 Necro-Dragons blocked the road further; I return, clear a path into the Snowy Treasury, go as Tazar to take Pandora's box at the home respawn, behind up to 50 Trolls, I take it, it's empty. I move further since there is nowhere else to go for now, collected some Gold from piles there, broke through up to 100 Fire Elementals for experience, but they stubbornly won't upgrade Earth. Stopped there at a Griffin Conservatory for 2-4 Angels.
In the third week—I take the Griffin Conservatory on 3, then I take the Griffin Conservatory on 3 and another on 3 on the Castle secondary; finally, Expert Earth is granted, but there is no Mana left. In perspective, Loshok found a Dragon Utopia in the Tower Treasury, but here, as expected, Orrin arrives at our general Castle secondary; I attack, they have about 17 Monks, 12 Champs and some small fry; those damn Monks used their morale and because of that, in the end, I had to lose 2 Angels, but managed to kill almost everyone. I head toward the Castle, then Stas capitulates.
Thanks for the game!
Yes-yes, that's exactly how it was. The map certainly wasn't very pleasing in terms of money structures ..... there were no griffin hatcheries on my territory at all ((( stables were there but far away ...
Mutual thanks for the game.
