CryptoNight (red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala) def AG(blue, Castle, Valeska, Tyrus) 2sm4d(3) 214
The start of the game turned out to be very drawn out — three restarts on each side, a technical restart in the middle due to water and a shipyard appearing out of nowhere near the opponent's castle, and at the end an eighth restart, this time mine — the only road was blocked by a horde of unicorns that blocked not only the path to the opponent, but also the path to a secondary, so I gladly used the right to a restart due to a block — because the heroes and the immediate surroundings of the castle were quite dismal.
So, we started playing for the last time, now definitively...
From the start, Tyrus appeared in the tavern, and I decided to level him — after all, horses are much more interesting than bows, and the starting tactics is a useful thing.
I conjured 23 archers and ran along the road towards the secondary... on the third day I broke through the path to the secondary from a pack of wood (16-17 pieces, I don't remember exactly), losing a few gremlins there, after which the next day I reached the secondary and, after taking out a couple of pegasi and dwarves with elves, captured it. At the same time, I built the guild and taught Tyrus various wisdoms — fortunately, the guild had both Haste and Slow. By the end of the first week, I built horses in the castle, since the stable was in the screen from the castle with a direct path and no guard... As a result of scouting, I also found two Griffin Conservatories and two Dragon Utopias, one of the Conservatories was poorly guarded but was uncertain (2-4), but the other was guarded by a horde of mighty gorgons, so I decided not to go there for now, and to break into the main castle and go the other way for the second secondary... There I found a path to the opponent, another Conservatory (this time a single one, which I took immediately) and a medusa hut right past the path.
Since I almost had no money by that time, and the only money-producing buildings besides the Dragon Utopias were one crypt and an imp dwelling, and I needed to pick up troops and somehow open the Conservatories/Dragon Utopias — I decided to break through to the medusas, scout them out, and run back — for the remaining Conservatories and Dragon Utopias. Then the opponent came running, but after looking with a scout hero at his army I decided I couldn't handle him yet, so I continued my plan and broke into the secondary. With the next growth, I took out the gorgon without problems and scouted a level-two Conservatory, then took a walk up for a third Conservatory, which turned out to be a level-three. I immediately checked the Dragon Utopia that was nearby — it turned out to be the maximum, which seemed like an impossible task; fortunately, I had time to run down to the second Dragon Utopia, which turned out to be the minimum and gave itself up without trouble... At the start of the fourth week, I finally built the Portal of Glory, took the maximum Dragon Utopia, and went into the treasure zone for the remaining Dragon Utopias and wyverns. There I also discovered an external dwelling of horses and angels, which I captured by the end of the month. Along the way, in Pandora's Boxes, I conjured another 20 mighty swords and 10 horses... after which I flew to the cyclops at the opponent's secondary and jumped into the castle. At this point I already had all the magic — three books except fire, and fire obtained from a Pandora's Box. In the castle, I built an upgraded Portal of Glory to upgrade at least some of the angels and guarantee first strike (I even had to sell dragon scale armor for the portal itself; upgrading all of them at once was out of the question). However, I made a mega-fail by sending all the angels and horses along with the scout hero to the stables and not buying a hero to bring them back to the castle... Just at that moment, the opponent decided to go on the attack, which turned out to be very timely on his part — the horses and angels went to the tavern almost in full force, and Tyrus with the meat ended up under siege. There were also several smaller fails in the battle, which caused me to lose :(
P.S. A question, what about Heroin? Will there be someone in his place, or are we left with a "trimmed" group? If not — then I've already played all my games.
