16.07.2010 WishmasteR (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Keyla (red, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) Jebus Cross, 215

Started without rests. Fast roads. The initial distribution was pleasing right away — directly under the Dragon Utopia castle and a hive hideout for 20-49 gold golems. But later it turns out that the respawn is small (for Jebus) and therefore rather poor. There are no more serious hideouts, only 2 gnolls. The 6 crypts (2 of which were pre-max), taken on the first day, helped a lot. Moreover, the heroes came as if hand-picked — Gosha, Gurni with a gun, Moner, Solmir :cool: I reached both secondary towns on the first day; there is 1 native one :smile20:
In the same rest town, I planned for hive — only put up a fort. At home, hydras barely appeared in the castle (had to trade). And I still didn't take the hive hideout (there was a +2+2 sword nearby)

At the start of the second day, GO candle — archangels :eek: I clear everything possible, including 2 hives (1 max) and Pandoras for 90 gnolls and 50 lizards, and the hive hideout. No cons.

On the third day, I finish clearing the respawn (afraid to go toward the archs :o ) and on turn 133 I enter the Dragon Utopia — a three-town one. It became my salvation. They gave me absolute insanity: shield to all, sandals to all, sword +6, armor +4+4, and an orb of fire :smile54: Tazar's stats are 20-20. On turn 134 I finally go to the archs — there are only 13 of them, with minimal losses... Further in the center of the Dragon Utopia is a minimum spawn and Pandoras for experience.

On the fourth day, I take a Pandora behind 3 crystals — entire level 5 :smile54: I sit to replenish mana (it's 150). The Miner is still at home. Somewhere around turn 144-145, I break through a double GO toward the reds, then seize their capital from a loser with growth. I become Tazar at the crossroads, send out scouts and see an unbroken block on the road above — I decide that the father is below. The respawn is about 2 times larger than mine :eek:
I head down, however, the Miner isn't there... but I discover an orb of earth :eek: Impl with the orb deals over 2K damage :cool: Meanwhile, I see that the Miner went off-road and settled in a secondary town...

At full speed, I run across the entire respawn and finally catch up to Shakti. I prepare to destroy 9 angels on the first turn... and realize that the Cloak of Denial is equipped :smile52: We played with saves over 2 days, so I completely forgot it existed :o Plus my mass slow was very effectively countered by mass haste :) But even then, Tazar has a huge advantage in one-on-one meat and stats; he wins.

Thanks for the game!

P.S. I know that playing like this on Jebus is perversion, but we are still inexperienced players... :o
