Hardcore+ (blue, Dungeon, Shachti) def Hermit (red, Tower, Solmyr, Rissa) 2-3-5 8mm6
We started without restarts. Spawned on dirt with 110 Troglodytes, basically did nothing for the first 2 weeks due to the impossibility of executing the setup, on week 1 killed a swamp computer and cleared 3 external Gnoll huts, Medusa homes in the Stronghold, no money or resources, lost almost all Troglodytes on tough neutrals, broke through into the underground, only objects are a Griffin Conservatory in the intermediate sands 3-4 that I can't take at the start of week 2. Along the way another Griffin Conservatory 2-4, nothing to take it with, we run further bring all the spawn and kill the blocker fork 85 Trees for a useless quest artifact with the loss of everyone except Troglodytes and Eyes, by the end of the week we also kill a Tower computer and a Necromancer in the Tower — Mages in the Stronghold, the Necromancer has Liches in the Castle, at home 1-6 in the Castle. On week 3 we finally started playing, split into the main, take a Dragon Fly Hive 8 and Chain+4, take the Griffin Conservatory 3-based on sand, then split into the Tavern and take another 2-based in the underground and a Dragon Fly Hive 8 for 15 Dragon Flies + external Manticores and Minotaurs, took the native town, Speed Cloak from a lich on Angels, no speed running items so we look with horror that it's already the start of week 4 and the tempo is hopelessly lost, but there are prospects so I'm not too upset, split into the Tavern and run to the only Dragon Utopia at the entrance to the treasure zone, bring spawn and break it on day 142, turned out to be a max roll lost 1 Angel and some of the rest, gave +6+3+2 all and a Bag, split into the Tavern again and take the max Griffin Conservatory in the snows then dive further along the road into the underground, very long road, along the way take a Dragon Utopia 1-based for Shield +12 and a max Dragon Fly Hive, by the end of the week finally reached the town, from there based on vision dive down find another Dragon Utopia 3-based gave Wings another Teapot and Shield +4 all, see Armor on the map, for the Alliance only the Sword is missing, run around the treasure zone break another Dragon Utopia gave Books of Air, Water and Shackles, meanwhile in the main and the Tavern built 4 Mage Guilds and finally found Town Portal to Expert Earth with Dimension Door, portal to the town leave the army there and split into the main to learn Town Portal and double mana, meanwhile the starting red's small force takes my towns. Meanwhile Goshka whom I bought back on week 3 but he sat in the Castle due to lack of slots churns out Skeletons from neutrals with Necro Army and takes a Dragon Fly Hive and Griffin Conservatory 2-based. Week 2 of month 2 arrives, I decide to gather everyone into a fist, kill the starting red's force with small artifacts on Mass Haste with Town Portal to the Castle, bring all the small units including a bunch of Peasants from hideouts in castles and do Mass Town Portal and convert all levels 1-3 into Skeletons resulting in a good stack of 1200 grand Skeletons. Level my 60 Dragon Flies and dive into the underground where I take another Dragon Utopia with nothing, then 2 more in the sands also give nothing worthwhile, take another Griffin Conservatory 2-based, Angels already 14 and open a Pandora's Box that gives 330 Peasants, have to dismiss 10 Necro Horses, at the start of week 3 again convert everyone into Skeletons resulting in 2400, do Town Portal to the swamp and run to take back my Dungeon where reds have been sitting for 3 turns awaiting the finale. The plan is clear — break the Catapult and thus neutralize the Skeletons, didn't even look for Earthquake since the rest of the power was enough to win the fight, but it's not enough — the army and stats are trash and also a Mage hero, in short the finale is one-sided — Lightning for 1400+stats+morale+luck, plus a Cloak of Denial bought on week 4 did its job. Screenshots won't insert. Rissa had 12 Angels 12 Gray Bears 300 Gremlins 30 Birds 21 Nagas 40 Grand Dragon Flies 50 Archmages.
Thanks for the game.
