In week 1 everything went great — I flagged an external dwelling of Minotaurs, 3 stacks came to Shakti, set a portal, bought from the dwelling and the portal — on day 114 I went to kill the computer — had to endure arrow fire on 20 Troglodytes — but the computer seemed to give up without problems))) Afterwards I ran around the computer's respawn and my own, forgot I had Minotaurs and took a Gnoll external dwelling just to avoid the penalty :smile35: Had to take 2 more Troglodyte external dwellings)))
In week 2, I got busy, brought Minotaurs, and with a Light of Blessing first took the max Griffin Conservatory, then the near-max (both with a griffin stack on days 122 and 123 respectively) and flagged a Dragon Utopia on the respawn — with 7 Angels it fell, and on the 2nd one without issues — Shakti leveled up perfectly — Logistics, Earth Magic) Then I broke into the corner treasure zone (native) — flagged a Dragon and Minotaur external dwelling there (when I was about to go bust — and didn't manage to clear it on time — but on day 127 I still cleared it with a scout hero) Took the beehive in the treasure zone(6), the Dragon external dwelling, and busted Shakti home, made double mana and went to the Utopia. On day 126 the second Utopia was taken. Gave Boots +2 All, Captain's Hat, Helm +3, and Cloak of Resistance :( Didn't place Dragons — didn't have enough Sulfur — Manticores were built in the castle —
In week 3 I started with the stable — with a scout hero I captured the castle in the Dungeon treasure zone, busted there, took 3 beehives there (30 total) + Wyverns in the computer's fort on week 2 — that made 34 (but didn't buy 4 Wyverns) On day 132 I bust back home, replenish mana (scout hero ate double), upgrade 29 Minotaurs and move toward the flickering red scout hero, killing him with a Spy.
On day 134 I catch up to Wystan with a scout hero — and attack with Shakti
FB was very interesting and long:
My army: Shakti expertise Offense, Logistics, Tactics and Earth Magic, 2 levels Defense, 1 level Fire Magic and 1 level Air Magic 13 11 6 8(80), Army — 3 Chaos Hydras, 30 Wyverns, 29 gr Minotaurs, 22 Troglodytes, 16 gr Medusae, 7 Angels and a Harpy
Wystan — expertise Earth Magic, Defense, Tactics, Logistics and Archery 10 14 8 9(75). Army — 51 gr Lizardmen, 23 ungr Basilisks, 6 ungr Gorgons, 37 Wyverns, 4 Angels, 3-3 Wasps.
Round 1, mass Waits, at the end of the round Tanya casts Mass Slow — Wyverns resist :smile03: I also cast a Slow in response and get 1st move next round, Wyverns and Angels fly closer, Hydras burn through 2 Gorgons and 4 Basilisks;)
Round 2 — I cast Haste on Angels, Hydras remove retaliation from Wyverns, and Angels and Wyverns attack the right flank on Tanya's Wyverns — only 21 Wyverns remain, and I lose 2 Hydras. Then in retaliation her forces pile onto my Angels, casting Haste on Tanya's Angels — killing 3 of my Angels, 29 Minotaurs crawl into attack range;)
Round 3 Tanya's Angels Wait with 15 speed, and Tanya casts Slow (this time no resist on Wyverns), but the next turn still goes to my Angels) They almost hit-for-hit cut down 4 Gorgons and open a path for the Minotaurs, who with Haste charge into the Archers — dealing -38 on the attack. And then the Minotaurs started destroying everything — dealing -8 Wyverns on the attack and so on))) Basilisks petrified my Angels, and Tanya's Wyverns hit with Luck against mine — but even that wasn't enough :D The Minotaurs proved who's boss here)))
Thank you Tanya for an interesting game — good luck in the future;)
P.S. saves will be a bit later
