25.01.12 ariputra (blue, random, Necropolis, Xi, Galthran) def HellLighT (red, random, Castle, Christian, Christian) 136 2sm4d(3)

We took restarts, GO through the wasteland, respawn is a small patch, the only road was blocked by ogre mages with a helmet +4 defense, two forks - metro 50-99 ogre centaurs and teleport 10-19 gr basilisks, barely scraped through via the teleport to the Conflux secondary, basilisks and ogre mages kept proccing insane morale, 2 vampires and 40+ skeletons left, saved 4 external skeleton dwellings and 3 crypts for 10k on Conflux, 1245 in the Citadel

On day 2, horses in Castle, on day 126 I accumulated some skeletons, went upstairs, and on day 127 took the red Conflux, just needed to power up and refill mana, on day 131 the growth arrived, 1 day's travel away I discovered the red capital with Christian and Masha, a nearby lookout revealed almost the entire respawn, naga guards, I killed them and lost a couple of horses, a few upgrading structures, not far from the red capital I took Inferno with built and relocated efreet, on the way to Inferno another naga guard and Dragon Fly Hive, on day 134 Christian (via fast roads) from his Castle almost ran to mine ) on day 135 we swapped capitals, on day 136 the surrender followed.

Thanks for the interesting game!

I confirm, the layout wasn't ideal, there was a restart left... but I fell for 3 artifacts by day 111 - ring+morale and luck, necklace+1 speed and boots, and also broke through the gargoyles to the Conflux secondary on turn 1. Then the beard begins, I break through to the Inferno secondary from the other side, the passage is blocked by 20-49 gr gargoyles - guarding the Dead Man's Shield, I attack - turns out 47 in 6 stacks, they chew up all my singles and eat the archers in one go, the spearmen pull through, but further on the road is blocked by gorgons from the Hive, going around the gorgons through 2 stacks of horde goblins costs me another 3 turns before taking Inferno. Result - no money, no dwellings, crypts on the outskirts, I barely built horses without a Citadel on day 117. By the second week I build chains, boost the economy, everything is heading toward Angels in Castle on day 127, and efreet in the Citadel, but on day 126 the opponent arrives and ruins all plans, I have to split up and sit in the Castle with growth 12456... sadness, opponent has 400+ skeletons, doesn't dare attack the Castle, Christian is very poorly leveled, low level, but with the speed boost from horses in boots and under the stable has +3 movement, tried to use the turn advantage, didn't help. Army is smaller, hero is weaker... surrendered. Thanks for the game.
