Hardcore+(red, Inferno, Pyrr) def P.Alexei(blue, Stronghold, Tyraxor) 8mm6a 1-4-7
Decided to practice with demons, turned out as usual, started without restarts, decided not to drag it out and play with what I had, spawned in the underground at respawn with only a Dwarf Cottage and a Pandora, that's it. Broke through to the teleport and ran into a block of a hundred flies behind a Dragon Fly Hive, scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories behind a hundred Greater Dwarves, another one with three, barely placed 1-6 in the Stronghold. On the 2nd day, no gold at all, with exchanges only enough for 5 Efreeti, ran downhill off-road towards the end of the week, killed the Barbarian computer player, absolutely no gold, not even pitiful piles of gold in the castle, nothing increased, didn't buy anyone. On the 3rd day, teleported home and took the Dwarf Cottage with 20 by the castle, had enough with exchanges to buy up Efreeti and Greater Pit Lords, grabbed the Pandora behind a hundred ice elementals for 10k experience, ran downhill again, took another Pandora for a full 4th level behind 80 Medusas and for 20 Snipers behind 120 Chieftains, entered the treasure zone, shook down 2 Dragon Fly Hives 6+6 and a Helm +3, nothing else there, meanwhile Tyraxor showed up and passed through the flies, a weak army, a couple of Harpies and Bears running towards my capital, here I made a hard mistake, thought Town Portal to the city costs 12 mana but it turned out to be 16, no Earth Magic, so I have to run for 2 turns on foot since the whole chain is in the treasure zone, with exchanges I put Gogs and Demons in defense + stuck a Castle, Tyraxor doesn't reach by a few tiles, Pyrr returns but also doesn't reach a couple of tiles to Tyraxor, buy a Lich in the capital and chase him away with it, he buys back, break into the treasury near the capital through a hundred Greater Eyes and Hounds, on the 4th day I take 2 Griffin Conservatories 2+3 and run to the blue player who has one castle showing in the tavern, on turn 147 I kill Tyraxor holed up in the capital with 6 Angels 12 Harpies and chaff, I have 50 Demons 5 Angels 10 Efreeti 20 Snipers 10 Pit Lords 25 Hounds 12 Harpies and full 4th level, heroes are roughly equally leveled, in the end a fairly easy fight in a few rounds.
Thanks for the game.
