A very difficult and interesting game.
The randomizer suggested Rampart vs Rampart; for a few coins, I sold my color - we begin.
The opponent chose his rests and gave me a mini console on the way and an external dwelling of elves + convenient passages to the computers - I decided to play. In the first [week], I painted all the computers; by the start of the second, I finished off the remains, homes are unified in the citadel, elf buyout.
In the second, I broke 2 consoles (1+3), reclaimed a cloak +2 speed, bought a book, and entered the treasure zone. Broke about 20 ducks, boots, +2 HP, something else. Homes are Castle, Mephala with log, tactics, air.
The most interesting part begins from the third week. Somewhere around 132-133, I break a quadruple ГО (there was a short road to the opponent's ГО through the basement), but I can't reach the opponent's castle - everything is cut off by mountains. Ivor appeared with an army, and I have almost no mana - I get crushed and am passed back as losers, running through the stable into another treasure zone. On 137, Ivor takes my capital via DD :smile27:, and I'm in deep trouble, small army, but there is a book of fire and Dragon Utopia nearby - I break the range +5 to all, reclaimed a golden bow; in the box, they gave 60 lizards - just right for my secondary swamp [town].
I teleport to the necropolis, visited the stable there, replenished mana, put on everything possible - I wait. The opponent bought out my growth and galloped back to his own. He repeated the same trick at the end of the 4th week where I almost got him in the castle - short by 2 cells. But I don't lose heart; I build up a little swamp and Inferno with 2 external dwellings of demons. In another corner treasure zone, I collect vials of life, already visited the second university, freed Broh lvl 20! Dragon Utopia, some other tasty things - life is improving.
Ivor had constant superiority in troops, but in terms of parameters, he only caught up with me by the end of the game. From the start of the second month, Ivor ran away via DD to loot the last treasure zone, while I take almost all his castles. Upon returning, he takes his capital back and settles in it; with momentum and wings, I reach him:
The battle turned out to be prolonged, but I had 500++ mana, 45% resist, earth and air buffs, which actually decided it.
Thanks for the game! It was very interesting!
Well, if Ivor had been dressed like in the screenshot, it would have been easier)), in reality, the sword from the alliance was in the backpack; in its place, a +6 sword accidentally ended up after a series of fast transfers, and I didn't notice, immediately -9 to significant parameters. I consciously didn't put on resist boots; instead, there were speedboots since I didn't really believe in an attack, and well, perhaps it was worth putting on armor, the lag in strength really told. I played the finale completely foolishly, started hiding out hoping for grands, but in vain; I should have tried to get into full contact as soon as possible, it seemed like it should be winnable here.
Thanks for the game.
