Well, and I did everything to make the VOD victorious :p ;)
but on a serious note...
on the 1st map, I struggled due to lack of gold and a decent amount of ore...despite having 2 Dwarf Cottages - lvl 10 and 15...I broke into the native secondary town with Tyraxor, who arrived on day 111, but out of principle I played as Gandon=)
in the end, I lost 6 wolves on the ice tiles, and then there was a block of Marksmen beyond - screw that...I found a Mithril cache, but behind 100-249 gr. of Pikemen, which, although guarding another pile of resources, there were just too damn many of them...
also spotted 3 Griffin Conservatories - 1 with 50-99 gr. of Pegasi + another Hive right nearby...
At first, I got Water Magic, then finally at level 6, Earth Magic - I leveled it for a long time...I didn't go for the 3rd Conservatory on the 2nd map - I didn't buy all the troops due to lack of cash, no Slow spell...barely broke through 130 Pikemen and took the cache - the wolves, which had already taken significant losses on the 1st map, were almost melting away on the 2nd as well...
then I broke through the Silver Pegasi - Conservatory 1, Hive, got Slow, Conservatory 3...
and then Crag shows up...
Tactics and the Vivi flyover against the Bears decided it...with 7 Mana, of course Crag played Russian roulette, but he got a blank - I had neither Tactics nor Speed artifacts...and if little Crag didn't have it, things would have turned out differently - even 28 Vivi wouldn't have saved him=) - I also had 6 Mithril and 4 Angels, and 40 Mana)))
the dumbest thing - that I didn't scout the Grass secondary town, where right behind a block stood a max Hive, and the 12 Ducks from it would have decided the Final Battle either way...Crag took them faster, which is why he won...
overall, Andryukha is awesome!!!;) :smile02: :smile30:
