Auto-translated
24.02.12. Pit for LM (blue, random Castle, random Edric, War) def GoD (red, random Dungeon, random Lorelei, Isra), Speed-1, 125.
The starting heroes were dealt well ).
We started on the second attempt after my restart - my native secondary turned out to be blocked by GO - a horde of Evil Eyes. For the first few days I tried rather unsuccessfully to set up the stream, so the game didn't go too well, I made several mistakes.
111 - 8 heroes, plenty of gold, external dwellings of archers and pikemen, an external stable and a beehive. One of my favorite heroes arrived - Wystan. The only bad thing is that the opponent has a native dwelling.
112 - The empty native secondary is flagged, bows are bought, 31 total. Wystan on the barbarian respawn, I kill Gurnisson.
113 - I take the barbarian, find a path to the Rampart through wasteland. At the turn transition, the evil computers kill two heroes. Gold is quite tight, I put down two thousand.
114 - Purple is finished, Orange Ivor is sent to the tavern. I lost a bit of army doing this.
115 - Wystan captured a Cloak +2+2 for magic, a crypt is taken.
116 - Another crypt, Griffin Conservatory scouted, but it's far and he won't make it. Wystan leveled up perfectly - Attack, Logistics, Earth.
117 - Nila takes a Shield +4, I capture the beehive, 4-6, Wystan stands at the stable near GO, planning to fight on 121. Builds - Griffins in the Citadel and Cavaliers in the Citadel. No gold to buy, but there's somewhere to get it.
121 - I build 4 marketplaces, exchange resources, buy the army from the secondary (except Griffins), archers from the capital, and attack Dwarf Cottage 20. With the proceeds I buy more Cavaliers, Swordsmen, and Pikemen, take a beehive for 4 Wyverns, fight GO (75 Nomads), take the Rampart, buy a spell book. Then I fight 80+ Diamond Golems, get an Air spell book and a level 20 War with intermediate skills (Logistics and Armor are pleasing, but Tent and Catapult are disappointing, plus the native Navigation isn't entirely successful). But still, she's a mage of sorts, 80 mana, with a spell book and Chain Lightning on 400+, she's more promising than Wystan.
122 - I take a beehive for 8 Wyverns and a Helm +5.
123 - I take a Pandora's Box for 15 Greater Cyclopes, freeing a decent level 30 Tunar from prison. I sit down to replenish mana in the second central town.
124 - Tunar is routed - but that's good, he'll be the one to take the Conservatory. With Expert Earth, Slow, archers, and Cyclopes, the horde of gold and the Conservatory three fall without the slightest effort. From the Pandora's Box I get 35 upgraded Wolves. I cast Dimension Door and attack Isra:
War (2, 10, 10, 15 (125)), Expert Wisdom, Navigation, Logistics, Ballistics, Water, Tent, Armor, 15 Greater Cyclopes, 60 archers, 18 Swordsmen, 12 Wyverns, 35 Wolves, 5 Champions, 3 Angels, Air spell book; Isra (12, 19, 5, 6 (12)), Advanced Necromancy, Earth, Air, Expert Attack, Armor, and Ranged, Basic Logistics and Mysticism, 1+48 Greater Harpies, 4 Wyverns, 256 Skeletons, 121 Troglodytes, 30 Greater Medusas, 45 Greater Evil Eyes, +1 morale, +3 health, bow for +5 ranged attack.
The fight was very tough, and if she had full mana, it would have been the end for me, because the Skeletons under Haste were killing almost any stack in one go. But as it was, Haste only lasted for 2 rounds, and then the slowed undead with speed 3 were no longer dangerous.
I first cast Chain Lightning on the archers, but it wasn't particularly effective. In response, the Skeletons Hasted and ran forward. I got very lucky with the terrain - where my archers stood was something like a pocket with a narrow one-hex passage from above and a two-hex passage from below. So the Skeletons didn't reach them. In the second round I Slowed the Skeletons, they Hasted, killing almost all the Swordsmen. Meanwhile, everyone piled onto the Harpies, but the Harpies went down very hard. In the third round, Slow went off again, now without the possibility to Haste. The Swordsmen were gone, the archers were gone, the Harpies were gone.
Then I cast another Chain Lightning at the shooters, ran away from the Skeletons. In the next round I cast Mass Bless and piled onto the Troglodytes. They went down with difficulty, I lost an Angel and the Wolves.
The next target was the remaining Medusas and Evil Eyes. I finished them off with difficulty using the army and archery, losing many troops. Then the Cyclopes shot at the Skeletons with impunity until 150 remained, Isra bought them off. I had 13 Cyclopes, 7 Wyverns, and 3 Champions left, with 30 mana.
After the battle with Dimension Door and the remnants of the army, my chances were probably better, but the opponent made a mistake somewhere himself and decided to concede.
Thank you for the game.
