"An old horse never spoils a furrow":p
Haven't played for almost a year (work-family-long business trips), but now all the trips are over, the reports are filed, and I can return to my favorite game:) Came to the forum today, wow, so many new faces, and with one of them I started my first battle in a year on the good old smka;)
We started without restarts, the draw was decent, the 2nd hero brought 5 elves, the guards, it seems, were all treaders, so we play on.
111 - 4 heroes, Ivor broke through to the adjacent grassland by killing ghosts, also grabbed a cape for spell duration (it helped a LOT later)
112 - and here it becomes clear that on respawn there is a severe shortage of free cash, it just doesn't lie around:( , I take a secondary Conflux and almost reach the crypt, I see an external dwelling of firebirds, behind a horde of royal griffins and a piece of canned goods - noted, scout heroes are intensely searching for free capital, but almost everywhere the paths to it are blocked by small pests of levels 1 and 2, so on day 2 I'm forced to build a market - there's no money for anything else:smile27:
113 - I take the crypt, Ivor breaks into his home castle and gets ready to go to the metro, scout heroes finally start bringing in profit and bring cash for an elf upgrade, 5 heroes
114 - Ivor broke into the metro and gets earth magic:smile44: , immediately a plan forms in my head to expert it, find slow somewhere and take that bird dwelling on day 117
115 - I take the necro secondary, build a guild in Conflux and hurray:smile44: , got slow! Ivor intensely levels earth magic, even refusing armor, but another 1.5k exp needed for expert. At the secondary hero I see an entrance to a portal behind centaurs, well, we'll try to farm exp on the treasure zone guards
116 - earth expert achieved, Ivor fights into Conflux, at home I build silver pegasus for first turn.
117 - I go to take the firebirds, easily beat 63 royal griffins (the cape +3 spell duration helped a lot, since Ivor has only 1 knowledge and 3 spell power) and only after breaking through I remember that firebirds have speed not 10-11, as I thought, but 15!!!!!, so they'll reach my elves and that's game over for my whole army:smile35: , I urgently attack the nearby centaurs, hoping for tactics, but I'm some 30 points short of the next level:smile11: . In the end, Ivor is level 8 with 4-5-3-1, expert in Attack, Archery, and Earth.
I won't describe everything in detail, on week 2 I took 2 canned goods, totaling 6 angels, a Hive with 8 Wyverns, an external dwelling of firebirds, resulting in Ivor level 13 with 8-8-5-1, the opponent recaptured my necro secondary, but didn't go into the treasure zone, so the plan was to buy up on week 3 and go to him.
On week 3, a scout hero takes the empty necro secondary, Ivor fights there, I decided to first visit the treasure zone anyway, because the opponent's stats weren't much lower, and army unknown, I killed 90 liches for a pandora's box with 10k and a library and 35 black horses also for 10k, and then Shakhter appeared with a weak army - the strongest stack was 6 cats, I attacked him and there was no fireball, the opponent surrendered.:smile02:
Thanks for the game;)
