bmay (Necropolis, Vlad) defeated Oneman (Rampart, Mephala) on Spider 1-4-6
We started with a third attempt, but luckily, there were no dwelling of archers, but there were 1, 3, and 4, plus the well-known Orange-Sin (+1 vampire). During the exploration, I quickly cleared the starting area and broke through the portal to the adjacent area 1-1-5. There was snow and no roads; I spent a day there and realized that without logistics, there was nothing to be gained – I retreated. I ventured into the second portal – desert, but with roads and many treasure chests. I cleared treasure chests with vampires and archers; I was lucky the first time – in a chapel, I found the Crystal of Secret Knowledge and immediately the second time – Necropolis gave me logistics. Things became more interesting. But only until I saw elders with a magic orb and druids with cerberuses on the portals. I realized that I couldn't break through and retreated to the third, still unexplored, portal in my own zone.
With the Path of War and finding the Path, I rushed to the end of the zone and saw a portal with a guard in the form of elders with a fireball. But there was nothing else to do; the pace wouldn't allow me to go back. I attacked and managed, thanks to the fact that my hero was already level 27 and the crystal helped.
Behind the portal was a treasure. Not very rich, 3 dragon artifacts, a ring with +10 to initiative. For a week, I cleared the treasure with 350 skeletons and 47 unupgraded vampires, and at the same time, I upgraded Chaos and my hero to level 40. And then I was lucky for the third time – in a pyramid, I got the Summon Elementals spell, with which I defeated the mentor and got fire elementals. There I also found another stash of ghosts; on 1-4-1, I accumulated 160 ghosts. I was already going to break through, take all the meat, and go through the Gate of the Underworld. In the castle, I got the Summon Phoenix spell, and with it, I could break through any Gate of the Underworld. But I saw the Tome of Summoning.
Then it was simple – I broke through the portal from my treasure to the resource-rich opponent and in 2 days, I reached his castle.
There, Mephala was already waiting for me with purchased, but unupgraded, troops. I attacked, and at first, I thought I would do a hit-and-run (crystal with 960 damage), but the advantage was too great. The unkillable phoenix and 123 fire elementals quickly destroyed all the knight's troops, and the hero (1960 HP) nullified all the attacks of his troops.
Thank you, Oneman, for the game. It's a pity that I wasn't so lucky in this game. The rematch is on me.
I confirm.
We restarted twice. In the first game, bmay was crippled for a day.
In the second restart, I got the knight and Elaine... I found resources 1 and 3 (it turned out there was also 2)... everything would have been great, but on the 1st day, my internet went down, and I decided to use my restart right away.
As it turned out, in vain :)
I got Mephala (in the end, without machines and mass haste) + a guard at the gate, like water elementals + dwellings of archers were clearly more pleasant for the opponent :).
There was very little money, and the decision to break into the treasure was made only on the 4th week. Right in front of me, the enemy's hero appeared. On the 4th week, I got the knight and ran away with troops to clear the gnomes. Fortunately, I managed to transfer everything, and except for 6 horses and unupgraded griffins, I sat in the castle with a full supply of meat. But, considering that the opponent's hero level exceeded the sum of the stats of my Mephala, the phoenix could easily eat all the troops.
The situation was somehow unfavorable, but I think there were some chances if I hadn't been sitting around and had taken a risk.
bmay, thank you for the game :)
It's always nice to play with him; only my internet is annoying (I'm sure that a couple of gremlins are sitting on the wire, pulling it and laughing :))
С удовольствием поиграю в Героев5 по сетке с хорошим противником.
