Only one secondary town was distributed — the Dungeon, which I painted by the end of the 1st week. Lakussa leveled up quite well, getting expert tactics and archery, and grabbing basic logistics. There was a monk cache under the capital, which I painted at the cost of 1 champ((. In the Dungeon, I placed a summoning portal. At home, horses were built with the Stronghold.
Near the Dungeon, 3 hives were compactly located, which I quickly broke at the start of the 2nd week (only 16 vivs :mad: ). I plan to dive into the basement treasure zone, but on their turn, Miner breaks through from an adjacent area with 1-4 angels. I break into a square to meet them. At their own risk, Miner crashes into my scout using advanced tactics. Lakussa, in turn, breaks back into the Dungeon toward the treasure zone. On night 127, I stay before the hive in the underground treasure zone. At home, I placed griffins and monks in the Castle. At the start of the 3rd week, I quickly run through the treasure zone — it turned out to be small and poor; useful things were 2 hives and +2 speed. I break toward the remaining treasure zone in the snows. Lakussa had 2 health rings; I really wanted to find the final component for the phial :cool: In the treasure zone, a shield+4 and sword+6 were found. On night 137, I stay before the Dragon Utopia. At home, I could have placed angels, but there was absolutely no money left for buying on 141.... decided not to place them. At the start of the 4th week, I break the Dragon Utopia(1) — nothing useful except boots... A 2nd Dragon Utopia is spotted; I head toward it. Everything is quite compact, but in the snows without pathfinding, I got stuck for a long time :mad:
Took 2 more Dragon Utopias (1st and 2nd): club+5, water book, fire book, breastplate+4, and red orb. Really counted on getting control, but no luck.... Lakussa fights into the Dungeon, planning to use off-road travel to reach the last remaining available treasure zone, although there was no certainty that Miner hadn't already scavenged it... I held onto the angels until the last moment, anticipating a possible assault on my capital, and that's exactly what happened.. On their turn, Miner takes my capital, leaving me without growth for the next week. Moreover, they had built a Castle up to horses with caches of swordsmen and horses. DD is spotted, and it becomes truly sad.... I decide to try the only chance: a battle behind the Dungeon walls with the red orb. In the Dungeon, I place a castle; meanwhile, I managed to grab one hive in the corner of the max respawn :smile02: , totaling 41 vivs. I enter the garrison and wait... Miner, of course, arrived and attacked:
Shakti's army:
2 angels, 11 scorpicons, 36 champs, 45 crusaders, 168 troglodytes, 57 archers, and 41 evil eyes + explosion for 2200+ damage
Lakussa's army:
11 champs, 41 vivs, 33 royal griffins/harpies, 8 swordsmen, 17 beholders, 78 archers, and 41 monks + red orb
The calculation paid off!!! Miner ran out of money and had to capitulate, failing to break through the castle walls, where my monks and archers were shooting very viciously....
Thanks for the intense battle!!!
It happened! I messed up — didn't realize the trick that the opposing hero was just sitting in the castle waiting for death — in the end, the red orb decided it all — I was simply shot down — and the catapult just wouldn't hit the gates(((
I could have just stalled for time with control — and then just settled it with one meat-wave, but that's not manly;) :p
My own fault — shouldn't have stormed it — in the field, 36 champs would have decided the matter
but still
HUGE THANKS TO IGOR FOR THE GAME!!!:)
