So it happened, we took a restart, no objective resets were given and off we went... On the respawn there were 5 external dwellings of caps, one of mages - I already sense an ambush, scouting showed there are no Griffin Conservatories at all. Alright, we push through thorns - I grabbed all 5 blue external dwellings, gathered the army, first reclaimed the mages' external dwelling from a horde of golems (a good horde it was, nice chunk of experience:)), in the pile I took Fior because Pathfinding was given right away. Adding a couple of freshly built nagas, I broke a horde of demons for a Pandora's box +10k experience, fat - papa with Earth and Tactics, which is the most important thing for a cap carrier on SoD (immunity to morale of swiftoids in the first round):D I broke the guard of a clue and spent the night in it. 121 - 5 nagas, golems and gargoyles destroy a Hive in no time, then a second, third... all small, I even felt a bit sorry leaving papa for the last Hive - I broke it in the Dungeon, gave the army to Ciele, she into the Hive, and there it's max... well stocked up on fat, harpies and golems were just devoured completely. Nothing left to do on the respawn (Dragon Utopia for backup), papa leveled up Earth, grabbed Archery and rushed to the center... And there it's either a pack of Arch Devils, or a stack of Giants. I don't have enough cover for the Arch Devils (golems and gargoyles have already passed), I go for the hometown Castle guys in helmets, of course with an upgrade - a whole 5 of them. I cursed them out properly, but broke them, sacrificing a pack of mages, a few Vives and 1 naga. I emerged into the center but I'm uneasy, mana is low, any moment Kir might come (Rampart is easier with Breach), but no guests and the center is successfully cleared. By the end of week 2 though I only grabbed Inferno, a gold mine and a bag +1000. 131 - I bring up the meat, take the КЗ from a good stack of green Drakes (Tactics saves the day), with its help I practically break Dragon Utopias with caps, first a mini one - Admiral's Hat, then a tier three (it was bloody, spell power a bit low for a good Resurrection and Vives slashed significantly) - two helmets +4\4 and +12. From Pandora's boxes they give either experience, or a bit of meat (just enough for the home Dragon Utopia - wings), in the end from meat I only have a stack of caps, and from three Dragon Utopias I got a Ring of the Magi, assembled the Admiral's Hat and it dumped Legion parts... So I cleared out the center, as you do:rolleyes: Papa dashes around the center like crazy (saw all parts of Armor of the Damned and a Chupa-chups), barely managed to grab everything and claim 3 external Devil dwellings with a build in Inferno, from the home Dragon Utopia I just upgraded them and only reclaimed the last helmet for the Armor when Kirya pops out, grabs Inferno, and even manages to take the sword +12 with Dimension Door. I take Inferno back, build a Castle, equip Armor of the Damned and Chupa... The elf's stats are 2.5-3 times higher (this is without Dragon Utopias... the hat, the sword and everything were the serious artifacts), 16 Angels, 14 Drakes - I feel I can't pull it off, and that's what happened, morale and luck avoided caps and devils, by the time the Drakes stormed the Castle I only managed to halve them, then the Angels showed up and even breaking the catapult didn't help, too much meat (2 external Dragon dwellings and 4 Griffin Conservatories with Castle rebuilding are much stronger anyway:D), and gathering the army was pointless - Kir with Dimension Door would catch me anywhere (there were also Shackles of War).
