Opponent took all the rests, I didn't take any, although on the last one I even wanted to take it on 113. The only thing that stopped me was that I spotted 2 Griffin Conservatories at the respawn. And a Conflux secondary town 1.5 days away. Naturally, it was taken on 112. Besides the road to ГО, there was another secondary town in the metro costing 50-99 lizardmen. I didn't particularly want to lose my archers, so I started scouting the territory.
The scouting was encouraging, I revealed another Griffin Conservatory. On 121 I take the 2 Griffin Conservatory minimums, the loch smashed against the thrones. Only a tier-two building, sad... Total from 3 Conservatories only 4 angels.
I spent a long time trying to figure out whether Conflux was my secondary or adjacent. Once I figured it out, I took another Castle secondary town with my loch via a winding path through rough terrain. I forgot to take the army there and upgrade the archers, for which I paid the price by losing it a couple of days later.
Well, no big deal; the tavern says that besides mine, the opponent has only one secondary town. I go underground to avoid trouble. Everything there is pristine!!! I'm in shock!!! Meanwhile, Kyrre is crawling into the adjacent treasure zone. Everything is grim there, no oil, just pure scouting...
I spotted earth elementals and gold ones, and was just about to give them a beating when I see the opponent attacking ГО with rubies!!:eek: Well, I turn back, buy wood at home and upgrade my dwarves so magic doesn't thin them out too much. Mullich in the tavern, at least some joy, maybe I'll have to do some running...
The opponent attacks with a laughable army. Under 20 minotaurs and about 30 medusas. Looks like he lost at ГО. A crooked catapult and I get out almost without losses. Although I would have defended there in half a beat.
