15.01.2012 group F In0k (red, Dungeon, Shakti/Shakti) def Memphis (blue, Stronghold, Crag/Crag) 2SM4d(3), 133
took rest 111
111 spawned in the underground, roads are fast, found no mines, right under the castle a portal with ГО (blocks the passage with an external dwelling of Troglodytes—can't see further), Shakti with 3 stacks (total 150 units gathered, upgraded), broke through to the swamp secondary area via the portal, first guard was Crusaders—lost the fat stack, second were Dendroid 3 stacks, 2 just wouldn't split, and the last one on morale—15 Troglodytes did it—decided to play.
112 Pandora's Box behind wolves—gave 5k gold, checked the Griffin Conservatory—minimum level, Shakti at level 4 got Earth magic, on the secondary area 1 passage blocked by archers, I go through the second—wood mine, broke through a double-blocked passage to the respawn behind the Grail. Demons and Grail. Wraiths, left 125 Troglodytes, but found ore, passage to the underground secondary blocked by Greater Basilisks 20-49 (guarding maps)—turned out to be Necropolis (never took it), second underground gate guarded by 20-49 Mages.
113 no fights, led Shakti to the stat boosters, castle on the swamp secondary blocked by 20-49 Arch Liches guarding a Pandora's Box and fire pit, prospects bleak.
114 Mage Guild gave Slow, sent Shakti to respawn mana, found the native mines on the main via rough terrain.
116 took the Griffin Conservatory and Naga Bank on minimum level with loss of single units
122 broke through the swamp to the revealed Griffin Conservatory, took it—again minimum level, nearby 2 Dwarf Cottages—regretted the time, swamp will eat at least 2 movement turns, I run Shakti to the portal, luckily the road is close + speed boost on Angel, but no gold to recruit, no gold at all, only hope—Pandora's Box on the main behind Trolls and another Naga Bank. (later I realized I should have taken both Dwarf Cottages and split up >.<)
125 I capture Boots of Speed near the guard between the swamp and the opponent's main (on the fast road), guard is weak, opponent with 1 castle sits like me, don't know what to think. Captured it, army relayed to Shakti, with them I hit 23 Trolls on the main—gave 20 Sea Serpents, a scout hero in the depth of the starting respawn found a Griffin Conservatory (broke through to the external dwelling of Troglodytes behind ГО)—I decide to take it.. hoping for a 4
126 I capture with Shakti the Naga Bank on the main—again minimum level (man I'm lucky, minimums everywhere) I speed boost to the Griffin Conservatory—planning to split up in the main by 131
127 I capture with the scout hero a Dwarf Cottage—again minimum level, brrr—what to recruit in the castle I have no idea—only enough gold to recruit a hero—I see a pile of gold and a chest + resource exchange—that's it, especially since the opponent took a castle, he has more heroes (I have 6), the scout hero ran near the treasure zone adjacent to the swamp, revealed 2 Dragon Fly Hives—1 behind Golems, the second with a Pandora's Box behind a bunch of Greater Psychos (and there are many of them), if it were something else instead of Psychos maybe I'd have rushed, but without Oil I decided not to throw the game.
131 Griffin Conservatory—two, I realize I messed up—transferring the Boots with artifacts to the scout hero, who was capturing the Dwarf Cottage—to split up I lacked 200 movement points, oh well, at least I'll have something to recruit with, I speed boost on Angel and Boots, there's a Well on the way.
132 I capture the chest and 2 piles of Gems behind Serpents on the swamp—every penny counts, but another brain fart. All Angels on Shakti, no slots), as a result I lose 10 Troglodytes and 2 Harpies, and the chest for a thousand, I recruit and go forward.
133 I break through the guard—see a blue external dwelling of Goblins, I realize I'm going there—another five steps along the road deep into the respawn, I pass the turn.
The opponent merges the army, takes a stat booster with Crag and attacks (in his castle he had unrecruited weekly growth of Wolves from a couple of weeks and a weekly Goblins).
I won the battle easily, Expert Earth, Slow, Shield, even ran to the Tower for Bless, but it didn't come to that, the opponent didn't get magic in skills, and Anti-Magic somehow didn't work very well at all, only cast Dispel a couple of times.
Thanks for the game, I really thought that on 133 with one castle, no external dwellings and portal, continuous blocks and minimum levels it's unreal to pull off)
Shakti
Crag
battle
That's how it was.
On the first week I didn't build creatures, lacked crystals, no way. Then I realized I could have taken them from the Dwarf Cottage, it was right under the castle, forgot that crystals are part of the reward. On 113 I reached the guard on the secondary area – 10-19 Medusas. Got scared – turned to clear the respawn. At the start of the second week I needed to break through the guard on the secondary area on the road (Medusas), but I decided to go to the secondary area via rough terrain (the guard was weaker and I'd have made it in the first week). There was swamp – got bogged down, lost pace. And also in the second week I was afraid to go into the conserves, and very much in vain. As I checked later they were still easily taken. In short, lacking... :smile13: experience :)
Thanks to the opponent for the game and good luck in the following matches :)
