23.12.2010 Neverminder (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Sevan_80 (Red, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) jebus cross 142
It didn't give anything. At all. Three external dwellings of Troglodytes, one of Harpies. No Dragon Utopias on the respawn. There are Pandora's Boxes and Hives, though. But that's it. There are no artifacts for might at all! Relics — Wings and Medal of Courage. ГО — Giants. I want to see if there are Titans there, so I sacrifice a scout — there are Titans. And there are a hell of a lot of Giants. I thought 20-25, but there are more than 30. A crazy thought occurs: kill a bunch of my troops on them to reduce the number to an acceptable level. Meanwhile, Shakti started taking Hives from day four to get to level two. 6+6. Then a Pandora's Box for upgraded Pegasi — 15k experience. Built dwellings 1-6 in the castle.
In the second week, more Hives and Pandora's Boxes (all for experience, I was incredibly unlucky in that regard), found Slow in a shrine with Expert Earth already learned, scouts keep dying against the Giants. In the end, after gathering 29 Wyverns and reducing the Giants to 15, I attack them on day 126. The Titans get morale and obliterate the Minotaurs, but for the most part it goes smoothly.
In the center, it again didn't give anything — Pandora's Boxes were only for experience and Hives. Well, at least there were Dragon Utopias here. Plus I grabbed the Medal of Vulnerability for the Black Dragons. Just right for the Dragon Utopias. Anyway, in the middle of the third week, I take 45 Wyverns and a chaff force of upgraded Harpies and Spearmen, and go into the first Dragon Utopia. I take any one, probably, but I run into a mini one. Mass Slow on the dragons (they must have been surprised), then Mass Shield just in case, in short, the Wyverns survived. The chaff naturally died, but that was the plan. Gave a Tunic of the Dead King and some junk. Then morale-boosted Minotaurs killed two Wyverns, I go with 43 Wyverns and a chaff force of a couple dozen Spearmen into a Dragon Utopia. A maxi one. Well, 6 Wyverns died, not critical. Gave a Shield of the Dead King, Books of Water and Air, Titan's Cuirass. Stats at the end of the third week became decent, Kyrre shows 21-15-2-4. Might stats are similar, but magic stats are laughable. I plan to hit Seva's ГО (Monks) on day 141 and go in with magic to kill.
However, after his day 141, Kyrre shows entirely different stats in the tavern: 22-29-13-15. I have 20-19-24-13. I lost the desire to go kill him :D I holed up in the central castle with Scorpicores, dumping my entire army into the garrison in case of an attack. On day 142, Seva hits the ГО and runs to my scouts. 12 Green Dragons, 29 Battle Unicorns, 71 upgraded Dwarves, 57 Grand Elves, 20 Dendroid Soldiers, something like 7 Wyverns — in short, a ton of meat. Clearly didn't do without external dwellings. But I see Kyrre only has 10 mana points and don't believe in my luck. The turn is passed to me, I attack. 37 Wyverns and some small fry, but with the Medal of Vulnerability, Medal of Courage, 300 mana points, Meteor Shower, Lightning Bolt, Expert Earth — no chance, of course. A Medusa also helped: left alone, after a Green Dragon's attack, she avenged her friends' deaths and petrified it for three rounds. The Dragon got morale but remained immobile. Then Mass Slow on everyone, Mass Shield, Meteors, Lightning Bolts. In short, magic saved me. I would have lost otherwise. Thanks, Seva, for a tense game!
