12.04.10. OUTLAW(red, Necropolis, Galthran, Tante/Gosha) def GoD(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2SM4d(3), 1-3-5
Threw into the underground, bones with a skeleton machine turned out to be 120+, also have re113, secondary skill spread 3 to 1 in my favor, 2 external horse dwellings, 2 external skeleton dwellings and max Griffin Conservatory....we play....All subsequent maneuvers were aimed at gathering resources to take the max in early month 2, so Goshan temporarily relinquished command in favor of Tante. On the first month I only captured a secondary mine with Conflux with minimal respawn, painted one of the external horse dwellings, home 1-4. At the start of month 2 with 300+ bones, 3 horses and maximum power stack, week 4 drops (- all power stack and horses). I break through to the other 2 secondary mines - both on rocks. By month 2 Shakhtyor was already in charge, who was left without any secondary mines at all :eek: , one road to the Griffin Conservatory, everything else off-road....Right next to the metro was the Griffin Conservatory, already unguarded, I dive in - empty(((. Next turn I go along the road, break 23 cyclops for a chest of 10K experience (-1 angel and nearly a hundred skeletons :mad: ) and on the last move I paint the enemy Stronghold, kill a couple of scouts, spend the night there. In tavern they say the opponent's army is stronger....I knew he had an external dwelling of Minotaurs, meaning there were quite a few of them already. I rush back to my native lands to replenish skeleton losses.
Shakhtyor force-marches and comes to me in the dungeon quite swiftly with expert logistics and stables (roads are fast). I return home, build a Citadel, wait for guests. Shakhtyor, having spotted my power stack, dives into a teleport and takes my Conflux, spends the night next to the library. On my turn I attack with 3 angels, 2 horses, 8 vampires, 400+ skeletons with singles. Shakhtyor with 4 angels, 6 efreet, 12-15 Minotaurs, nearly 120 Troglodytes with singles. In the first round each made an unforced error)), I rush into contact after hasting the skeletons, have mass shield and mass stone skin, but no slow((( . Opponent has a bolt for 200 damage and mass haste. After a bloody battle, Shakhtyor buys back with 1 angel, Goshan has 1 angel and 220+ skeletons left. On his turn Shakhtyor force-marches again, buying back in the Conflux and with 1 angel, air elementals and a power stack apparently from Troglodytes, storms the horsemen guarding the library, but unsuccessfully :smile04: Shakhtyor has to retreat and capitulate.
Thank you for the dynamic game!!
I had no restarts left, so I had to play with only one road to the Griffin Conservatory. True, the Griffin Conservatory right under the town and the external dwelling of Minotaurs tempted me - for some reason it didn't even cross my mind to ask for an additional restart)))
I dawdled for a couple of days with aimless wandering - and gave the opponent the chest for the cyclops, although I could have taken it right after the Griffin Conservatory...and then I couldn't catch Goshan right after that - and then later 400 skeletons were brought against my battered 110 Troglodytes))
In the first battle both played not great, but the skeletons decided it...but in my defense I can say that over 11 levels Shakhtyor's knowledge was only 1 - so even with the intelligence doubling it was only 20...no knowledge boosters, except one, but it was far away...if there had been more mana, there would have been very good chances of winning the first battle...but as it was...
yes after the loss there was a plan to visit the library, visit the well and attack "hot" Gosha again, who should have had little mana left after the first battle...but the horses morale and kill the angel...nothing further to do...and in principle it was hard to break them, since there were practically no troops...))
MANY THANKS FOR THE GAME!!!:smile13: :smile20: :smile54:
