13.02.12 Messiah (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Vatya (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 146
First round: +5k +5k experience, opponent restart on 112.
The second one surprised me: immediately in the city overview, 2 external dragon dwellings, one troglodyte dwelling, and 1 manticore dwelling. Ran around, nearby there are 2 more Dragon Fly Hives. Turned out not to be simple. The first Hive had weak guards (ogres), but it was a max Hive; the dragon guards were liches 10+ or monks 20+ also guarding boots, and all of this on the road.
Went for the liches, turned out to be under 20, lost my army. Had to wait for more troops. By 117 only took 1 dragon; in town I had tiers 1-4 and a portal (medusas). Picked up useless Diplomacy and then Ballistics from a scholar ((..
On the second week I took the 2nd external dragon dwelling and scouted the direction: 2 Dragon Utopias, nagas, banks, Griffin Conservatories 3+3 Hives 8, and another 2 ext. dragon dwellings.. With heavy losses I gradually cleared all of this and after the growth of +10 black dragons I broke through to the center through those same dragons. Managed to grab my piece of the center just in time; Kyrre had already been running around there for a week.
Thanks for the game!
From the start, Ivor in the tavern plus native, but only with Centaurs. Below the town, an external dragon dwelling guarded by 20+ green minotaurs. A Pandora's box revealed, guarded by 10-19 trolls, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a Dragon Utopia. I decided to continue, as the layout seemed okay. But that turned out to be practically everything. For useful things, there was one external dwelling each for the rest, and a Griffin Conservatory guarded by troglodytes (turned out to be a tier 2 dwelling). I decided to build dragons in the fort, but for some reason I upgraded the archers, and the dragons were no longer buildable, and the castle couldn't finish in time. Kyrre was level 2 by 117 :eek: somehow I had more work for Ivor. GO double 25 angels + 4 Ruby, no agility armor, I don't go for the second one.
On 131 I burst into the center and almost immediately ran into blocks of 50-99 bears and 50-99 green cows :smile45: still no agility armor... Had to hit-and-run, low mana, so I portaled home 3 times to replenish.
In short, we crawled around the center until both had stats 30+ (I took 7 Dragon Utopias, opponent apparently 6). I attacked Shakhter in the castle, and there were 15 black dragons there, a surprise... An explosion of 4K doesn't kill geese and dragons in one go. In the end, exchanging explosions led to me being left with 10 green efreets + 3 arch devils, while the opponent had some junk but more stacks. Just enough to escape and tomorrow wipe out all that junk with a cape or orb.
Manacles... epic fail... Zeke level 30 took the main town, but out of some stupidity I left it (it was already 5 or 6 AM), and in the end the main hero recaptured the horses, Shakhter portaled there. GG...
