He gives out chocolate in the form of mephala at the start, elf pits and stables near the castle, a halberdier in the tavern, and an artifact for speed. On the second day, I run away with my hero, but I miscalculated and didn't have time to pick up the army. Let's restart, because he was spotted in the tavern :) But the opponent also had a great start..
New game. Again, they give an artifact for speed, which is good. I buy Kairi for about 6. On the 2nd day, I have 8 heroes, because of the ship. 2 of them are level 350. I scout for elf pits, run towards them. I'm missing one mana for slow, so I run around, and attack the next day. I cast slow, he gets morale, and destroys all my imps :) At home, I have 1-6 without 3 in the citadel. The elf pits are already quite good on the 2nd day. I scout for a consultant 2. Go home for mana. I buy it. I lose about one unit at a time, and a lot of ogres. They don't let me log. But I have an offensive and an armorer. The stats are already good. I fend off groups of mercury with angels, hoping to get devils. On day 126-7, I buy 15, 20 gnomes, and go to the necropolis. I set up camp in front of the naked. I'm missing 3k and 2 mercury. I exchange them at the market, luckily I have a lot of resources. 1-7 are placed in the castle.
On day 131, I enter the naked, without even scouting beforehand. Level 6. Angels with good defense are great at absorbing damage, I kill them with minor losses. With the money from there, I buy growth, chain, and a mummy, and head towards the opponent. I scout for a grand gargoyle for the first time in the game. I buy a rampart, but I'm missing one turn to set it up. Then Valeska attacks. 6-8-1-7 (10) against my 5-15-6-4 (40). Valeska skillfully blocks 46 grand gargoyles with tactics. I was very lucky that the opponent didn't have mass slow. I reach with my infantry, the unique unit blinds the pit, the devil gets stuck in the roots in a forward position and can't die, because it's a one-way attack. The situation would be bad if it weren't for the death ripple, which I took in the sanctuary. I destroy my devil, "wake up" the pit. I barely break through to the grand gargoyle, the angel gets morale at just the right time. I win by a hair. Thanks for the game!
