Juristis (red, Castle, Valeska, Tazar),def Cryptonight (blue, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala), 225, 2sm4d3.
Start was normal, fast roads, a Dragon Fly Hive above the castle, a Dragon Utopia further away, Tazar came in as 6th hero, an external market and an external dwelling of arbalesters were found. Things got worse from here, no stables found at respawn, no external dwellings either, blockers for secondary skills were 20-49 storm elementals and 50-99 lizardmen. Third secondary hero went off-road through the swamp deep into the respawn. Not many income buildings, 2 crypts and medusa hives. Took the crypts on week 1, knocked down some resources, Tazar with Offense, horses built at the citadel.
Second week, I attack the Dragon Fly Hive guard, 20+ pit fiends, but I realize I can't take it. I go with Tazar to the secondary hero, at the castle I upgrade the horses, with 5 champions everything breaks through without problems. Secondary Inferno hero is underground, next to him a Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory are found, immediately taken, Dragon Fly Hive was minimal, Griffin Conservatory a level 2. The home medusa hive is taken by chain, the girls decided to have some moral fun, in the end in the very first round the spearmen and archers are stoned, and the horse has 12 hp. The horse only got a mild fright, managed to keep it alive. I set a goal to get Angels at least without a Castle. For the remaining couple of days I used everyone I could to break through any available resources, the external market works full time, and the Angels are indeed built. Tazar, in addition to Offense, has Wisdom, Attack, Earth, and Logistics.
Third week, 2 passes into the treasure zone are broken through, in one of them a Dragon Fly Hive shines, a +5 club, a +3 necklace to all stats. I portal home for the stables, take the max Dragon Fly Hive, back to the treasure zone. I have oil. For the first time I scout Tazar in the tavern. Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns, the club, the necklace, boots with +15 resistance, I scout a Cloak of Undead King and a Dragon Fly Hive with lots of stuff guarded by 20-49 firebirds, nothing else tasty, no Dragon Utopias, need gold. With difficulty I build the Castle. I stupidly lose a scout hero's Angels to Liches, positioned incorrectly.
Fourth week, I portal home, take a Dragon Utopia, but it's minimal, gives a +12 Helm and a +2 hp vial. Back to the treasure zone, grab the Cloak, then a book of Water, still no Dragon Utopias, still need gold. I go into the second treasure zone, take another Dragon Fly Hive, an Orb of Water, and on day 147 I see a Dragon Fly Hive plus a Lion's Shield of Courage behind a group of black dragons.
Month 2, opponent not seen yet, tavern stats not higher than mine. I attack the dragons with reinforcements, but misclicked beforehand, thanks auto. I take the Dragon Fly Hive, again max level, 40 Wyverns, I exit the treasure zone to the surface and right under my nose a Griffin Conservatory. Max level! Take it and sit in Necromancy, thinking about where to find gold for Archangels, scout heroes are farming gold on a new secondary. I remove the chain from the treasure zone, pass through to the opponent from the secondary, beat the GO (30 green dragons with high morale) and take his main. Mephala appears in the first treasure zone I cleared. I finally gather enough gold and res for Archangels, upgrade. I see Mephala has Dimension Door, but the Cloak keeps hope alive, my stats are slightly higher, and Archangels inspire optimism.
22x Mephala returns and takes the main, meanwhile I finish clearing the second treasure zone (another 2 Dragon Fly Hives) and go into the third, there's another Dragon Fly Hive, an external dwelling of horses, Shackles of War and eureka! Finally a Dragon Utopia! But Mephala, ignoring the scout heroes (which decided it), heads toward my main, stopping a day's march away on day 223. She has 12 Angels (lucky with Griffin Conservatories). If not for them, I would have stayed to hit the Dragon Utopia. But the chain came together, and I didn't want to give the opponent Archangels. From the other end of the map I portal Tazar home, the army comes to him, we wait for the opponent's attack. He predictably fears and runs. I upgrade the Crusaders and go on the attack, the Cloak predictably decided it, with roughly equal stats and an army advantage (13 Archangels, 58 Wyverns, 183 Arbalesters, 28 Monks, 40 Crusaders and 23 Champions vs 12 Angels, 7 green dragons, 25 Wyverns, 80 Elves and 19 Unicorns) the finale went without a chance for Mephala. Thanks for the game)
At the beginning of month 2 the opponent took my main - but I decided to run into the second treasure zone for a Dragon Utopia (had very little gold and wanted to upgrade dragons)
But the treasure zone was already taken by the opponent(((I turned around, took back my main and rushed to the opponent hoping for Explosion (I barely built a level 5 Mage Guild by mining resources from 2 markets) but there was a Cloak of Inhibition - the finale was a one-sided game((((Thx for the game!
