KostyaN (Castle, Alagar, Alagar/Dace) def Wishmaster (Inferno, Carna, Nymus), Elves be damned! 223 (4000+500)
Week 1: Carna shows up, starting Necropolis, Inferno, and Rampart. At first I was glad to see a bunch of small guards like a Pixie horde near the Necropolis, but remembered in time that there's no Necromancy in WT :D Nymus is in the tavern, I decide to level her and build up Inferno expecting to get a stack of Pit Fiends and a larger stack of less fiendish Demons :) By the end of the week I break through to a secondary Conflux, where I see a tier-3 Griffin Conservatory. Nymus is only level 3, mostly running around stat boosters, of which there are plenty. There's also a promising Ciele with basic Earth on the Necro's respawn, who for some reason went off to gather resources... There's also an external dwelling of Liches, but behind a pack of Sharpshooters. Buildup: Efreeti in the castle (+external dwelling of Gogs), Liches in the Citadel (+external dwellings of Skeletons and Zombies), Dendroids in the Fort.
On the second week I desperately try to buy up (after that buildup I started having some financial issues), by day 122 I manage more or less - I upgrade Pit Fiends, take on a horde of Air Elementals and behind them a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 (2 Pit Fiends died :( - lack of armor shows). I check the Griffin Conservatory - tier 2, on day 124 I take it - fought terribly, lost an Efreet, a Pit Fiend, and 3 Wyverns, I think - almost like an auto-battle :rolleyes: There are 2 external Pixie dwellings - decent meat for Demons :) Then I kill a horde of Greater Demons without losses for a Necklace of +1 Speed and a Flail +4, also 20+ Genies for a Helm +6, and again run around stat boosters. Meanwhile, through that same pack of Sharpshooters, Alagar reaches my Necro and takes it, preventing me from properly looting the respawn :)
On the third week I break through to the opponent's Castle, take it, replenishing my mana, then take a built Barbarian secondary, while simultaneously chopping down Demons on various leftover neutrals :) In all this I lose track of Dace's raid on my main town... Nymus, broken in Conflux, lacks a few steps to retake the lightly guarded Inferno on the second turn... Dace arrives, and the next day an epic battle ensues, in which I made quite a few blunders :o I decide to keep fighting though, buy back in Rampart, where Dendroids are in the Citadel, on the neighboring secondary I see a Griffin Conservatory, and on the outskirts of the respawn - an external Elf dwelling and Boots of Resist :) By the end of the week I build units in the castle.
At the start of the fourth week I take a tier-3 Conservatory, then the boots, upgrade nearly everyone, and set off on a long journey... A portal from the Inferno secondary leads to the opponent's barely built Rampart. And then - the most boring part of the game... I run along a very long road that should lead to my native Inferno through another secondary; there's practically nothing to take, just stat boosters and gold, never saw a dwelling for the whole game; I spend a few more days trying to climb out of the underground by wasteland to the coveted castle :D Meanwhile, the opponent isn't idle, resulting in such a FB :)
Thanks for the interesting game!
