Thanks for the game.

Gave up slow roads, at 113 it's clear the starting respawn is garbage, but Nelka grabbed earth and tactics, there are logs in the booth, decided not to take rest. Made a hard mistake, gotta admit. Broke through the passage into the metro, Solmyr with 4 air went to paint necro. Grabbed the log in the booth, knocked down a block of lizards and got offense. In total, by 115 all the must-have is already assembled :rolleyes:

Didn't dare hit the pack of gr. basilisks for the passage onto the grass with a scout, because the cover is very thin, a couple of morals and our song is over, took the helm +3 behind the golems. No money on the necro-respawn either, painted secondary, a stack of skeletons and with them plus air units convinced 32 boars for a chest, nagas are in question. But there's a Dragon Utopia. By 116 the army had withered so much that the experience on the grass from a horde of dwarves for the passage into the underground treasure zone turned out to be a nontrivial fight, had to finish off about 20 in melee. Below there are eyes, but the hive behind the magma is immediately visible, for the hostess's note. On 117 painted a castle, there are 2 more Dragon Utopias :eek: Barely squeezed nagas into the fort, 5 heroes, 2 ruples for buying out.

2 days bumming around on the grass, robbing crypts, taking bread from old folks and children :smile10:. Galtran showed up in the tavern, but I wouldn't trade this Nella for anyone, I buy him out on the necro-respawn to fill up some skeletons. Turns out there are 3-4 guards besides the Dragon Utopia, so didn't manage to fill much. Only on 123 got caps, nagas and gremlins, gargoyles, convinced 75 bearded guys to share their gold, filled up some much-needed experience. On 124 through the well Nella runs into the treasure zone to that hive behind the magma, since there's nothing to do on the grass either, the army robs a couple of crypts, found 2 naga banks in the backwoods, but with such power I'm afraid to even peek with a scout, let alone attack.

125 got crossbowmen and spears, since there's no one besides nagas to stuff into the hive, grabbed 8 wyverns, upgraded oil. Then I see the Sword of All, behind an extremely inconvenient guard - magic elements. It says lotsa, but there's also Arms of Legion and I believe without checking that there are 40++ of them. The treasure zone, by the way, is tiny as hell, nothing else in it. On 127 I decide to take the prison, since I haven't scraped together enough for an 8th hero yet. There's Vidomina with expert necromancy, I knock down the monks from the rage pit and fight my way home with my oil, leaving the sweet sword behind. Vidomina paints the gold mine (+30 bones) and ramps up on it. Rion with advanced air controls blue movement, ГО pits and guests can be expected any day now, plus Gunya is in the folders. Built the castle at home.

131 Vidomina takes the rage pit for 200 (+50), gives up the power +100 bones and quits, crossbowmen and spears go to Rion to kill scouts for money, the rest to Solmyr, he takes the naga bank on the snow and goes home - naga upgrade, transfer to Nella, she takes the dwarves for 100 and through the well runs through the necro-respawn into the treasure zone, through which the road to the 3rd secondary goes.

132 I take the skeletons from Galtran, total 2 hundred, could stuff them into a Dragon Utopia too, but I can confidently take only 1-2, and pulling КЗ or a 5th-level hat out of the first small Dragon Utopia, as practice shows, my skill doesn't allow. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I lacked the power to take down a tier-3 on the third week. Swallowing tears, I run past the Dragon Utopia that will soon ruin me, into the treasure zone. Behind a pack of bone dragons I take a Pandora's box for fire (basic wisdom) and immediately a block for the Tome of Fire from a pack of white dragons. Cursed loudly, but attacked: halved the skeletons and golems. Well, I think, now I'm gonna get pumped!

But on 133 Rion sends a dispatch that blue shields suspiciously looming near the ГО, giving up the castle equals GG, I break for home, bought out completely, wait with bread and salt, have armageddon in reserve for 300+, maybe it'll pull through. On his turn Gunnar arrives: 2 angels, 20 thunderbirds, 6 grey bears :smile21:, but he won't attack, because with his hand this is practically the only chance to pour the party, too bad :smile26:.

Diligently cut down blue scouts so they don't scout my Dragon Utopias, Gunnar both kills and scouts manually, plenty of turns for that. I'm in no rush - one treasure zone is supposedly cleared, there's nothing in the second, can only take Dragon Utopias from 141, only Rion is on the march; sit admiring the view from the tower window. On 136 Gunnar freezes in the snows and heads into the underground, 137 takes a secondary and a Dragon Utopia and immediately shows wings, this is just not serious.

141 - break Nella, the chain drags the army to the castle in hopes of 2 Dragon Utopias, took the tower. 142 - take the minimum, they take back the castle, a scout hero with 10 mihas attacks my Rion. He, not being a fool, manages to say "asta la vista baby" to one bear before the others can put him out. 143 - Dragon Utopia tier 3, gladius, teapot, boots of levitation, 10 nagas and shooters left, I throw in the white flag.
Thanks for the game.

P.S. Oh, so many letters came out!
