Satyre (blue, Swamp, Bronhild, Das) def MeFi (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) Jebus Cross 127
It all started with unexpected news - we have no connect in SoD. Just NONE at all and that's it.. simply nothing :confused: On the other hand, in VT everything is just super smooth: wonderful ping, no crashes or freezes.. We decided to play VT under SoD rules with some caveats (fast roads, without morale and GS) + due to a decent bonus for vivs from Brogh, I demanded 3k compensation. :)
We took a couple of restarts (Satyre seems like all, I had 1; I remember my doubts clearly..); on the first day, some good heroes came to help Ivor, there was even a Luna, whom I wanted to use everywhere and ownwhere, but long chains were more important and she often sat idle :(
The layout for caches/artifacts was smooth: 3 uniques + fights; +6 attack, +3/+3 magic, +1 and +2 speed, handcuffs and some other small things.
Secondaries - both dungeons, but the second one was taken on 126. Rogues came to the first, a dragon to the second :)
By 115 I spotted 4-5 hives + 2 Dragon Utopia. In total there were 3 Dragon Utopia at the respawn and 6-7 hives. The respawn was tasty even by Jebus Cross standards...
These are all pluses, which fade in the light of 3 huge minuses:
- Ivor just couldn't get logistics, just NO WAY.. reached level 12, but logistics were still not offered.. Otherwise, the build was decent: starting + armor, scouting, water (experted after Dragon Utopia, but didn't get Water Mastery).
- The respawn was very stretched out and roads went in wild zig-zags.
- ГО turned out to be 5 days away (at 2400mp); without gloves/logistics/boots I had no chance of leaving the respawn earlier than Satyre. Even considering the long roads at his respawn - for him ГО was closer by a day or two, it seems.
The ГО itself was easy (Luna broke through without mana - forgot to remove the lollipop - with 6 attack) ~ 40 hydras with GS, lost maybe 1 horse.
After breaking through ГО, I saw Brogh on the move in front of my respawn. I decided not to return the army with Luna to the limit, but to hit Brogh with handcuffs and a red ball, since +3 speed for angels gives me (well, in theory) the first turn if he has no speed artifacts.
In the end, Brogh is killed, I happily run back, thinking that nobody will catch me, and with the growth of rogues/dragons/taking the remaining ducks.. plus I imagined many other interesting things, already built up greens in the Castle, was getting money/resources for golds in 2 days.. And Ivor with 21 spell power and 300+ mana could have caused some havoc .. :smile08:
Anyway, while I was making plans, Satyre through simple manipulations takes the Dragon Utopia, transfers the army to the front line, Das gets smashed during scouting, breaks through a road block of 50-99 cyclops, and on the very last cell (:eek: ) reaches Luna with the army/artifacts (Ivor had +3/+3 and +5all left for mana)... :smile24: It was fatal that Das was level 20 with attack/tactics parameters 17-17 and his own handcuffs. I took my pair off Luna, leaving only the lollipop in case of magical tricks. I couldn't survive the advantage in stats/meat and the impossibility of buying them off :smile32:
ГГ, Thanks for the game! :)
