2.04.10. Pit for LM (blue, Stronghold, Kreg, Galtran) def LeBron (red, Tower, Nila, Nila), 2sm4d(3), 221.
I'm slowly learning how to rush and play long games. We restarted and started a game that would last for 1 day.
111 - there's a stash of birds, wolves, and Galtran, so I shouldn't take the restart too seriously. 112 - one secondary mine underground, the other - grass, very good, although there is no money at all. 114 - the passage to the grass is guarded by the living dead, which is great. There's a prison visible there. 115 - in the prison is Fiur, who takes a mini-crypt. I get expert necromancy. There's a conservatory and a stable on the road, a hive in the depths, but I never took it by the end of the game. 116 - secondary mine, Castle, mini-crypt. 117 - a stash of birds by Krelion with heavy losses (almost 40 gogs in the guard). Galtran - at the stable, 50 skeletons gathered, birds and orcs built in the Stronghold.
121 - there's no money to buy anything, let alone build, so I'm walking to the second secondary mine. Conservatory 3-4, it's not clear how to take the second one - there are no troops or magic. 122 - Vistan takes the Dungeon, next to it - an observation tower. 123 - I see 2 good ways to get to the treasury and Pandora for iron golems. I take it - there are harpies, 45 of them. On level 6, I decide to take wisdom instead of air (I see several Pandoras, there's nothing to upgrade, and it's not a fact that I'll get wisdom soon, and there's no rush anyway). 124 - a group of harpies, gathering skeletons. 125 - I run to the naga bank. 126 - a good fight in the bank, level 4, I only lost a few wolves and harpies. There's finally a lot of money. 127 - monsters in the castle, 164 skeletons.
131 - a warehouse of imps, orb of air, I rush to the stable and conservatory. 132 - +3 angels. 133 - mana doubling and to the treasury. For a horde of energy elementals in Pandora, they somehow only gave level 1 magic... On the black market, I found a ring of speed and a necromancer's cloak, but there's no money yet. 134 - in Pandora, for a horde of air elementals, they give all fire. Why do I need it? I took a chain +4 and a gold mine. Galtran somehow grabbed shooting... But they also gave attack. 135 - in Pandora, for a horde of demons, I get level 3 magic, which is already not bad. By reviving the dead and using most of the mana, I kill the guard of Utopia without losses, which consists of 25 monsters, in Pandora I get 25 hellhounds, I take the minimum Utopia, losing an angel. They give a watchman's shield, 2 pieces of legion, and a very valuable glyph of valor. Pandora is 15000, and the naga bank is 8000. I start building the Castle, I buy artifacts. 137 - the first hive, immediately maximum, helmet +3, boots of swiftness. Now I can finally move normally (I didn't get logistics). 309 skeletons.
141 - building, stable, I run to Utopia on the dirt. 142 - an excellent Utopia level 3: book of air, titan armor, and sandals of the saints. 143 - DD to the boots of the dead. Now I can gather 100-200 skeletons per day. 144 - +8 wyverns, a vial of blood. I found 2 conservatories, Pandora, a ring of life, a black market in one place. 145 - both minimums... the black market has junk... well, at least in Pandora there are 80 skeletons. In total, there are 737 with 9 HP each. I put the angels. 146 - I rush to the capital and attack through GO. 147 - I took the Tower, I looked around.
211 - month of the centaur, not bad. Stable, doubled mana, I go to the treasury. Along the way, +100 skeletons. 212 - +200 skeletons, +4 wyverns. 213 - +150 skeletons, +16 wyverns, Utopia level 3 with a book of earth, TP to the capital. Nila took the Tower back and flew to me with 6 birds. 213 - it's clear that there's magic there, I need to kill in the first round. But there's little time, I miscalculated and attacked with the wrong army: 3+4 archangels + skeletons, just in case something goes wrong. And it went wrong. The plan was to kill 4 birds with chain lightning, and finish off the rest with archangels. But there are war machines, and there was just not enough magic power (the last bird had about 6 HP left). I should have thought about self-preservation and attacked with 7 archangels in one stack and anti-magic. As a result, they all killed with Armageddon, and the skeletons were also hit by an explosion. After the buyout, Nila intended to continue the success with 2 birds + fire elementals. 214 - that won't work. I have a red orb left at the entrance to the very first treasury, Galtran took it and brought it, and Tunar easily drives Nila away with it. 215 - Gelar takes the Tower, Galtran portals there and takes the Conflux. Nila goes to the dirt treasury, where there is nothing left except a library, a golden bow, and one hive. 216 - I go to the last opponent's city - the swamp, to upgrade my wyverns. But that's where it all ended - I still had 1000+ skeletons + 40 wyverns + my native troops, which I practically didn't lose since the beginning of the game. And the red orb never forgot to put on.
Thank you for the game.
