Pit for LM (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) lose Magl (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor), Jebus Cross, 131.
We picked all restarts in turn. Starting in the swamp is still not very pleasant, but in the end the army turned out okay.
111 – there are 12 basilisks (not built), 40 gnolls, a ballista, and with Edric came 3 griffins and about a dozen pikemen. In front of the castle lies the Thunder Helmet behind fanatics. Tazar is currently running along the stat boosts. Above the castle is a hive and the Armor of Wonder.
112 – I open the lookout tower. There is a very convenient secondary hero near the GO, next to it is a Conservatory and a Pandora's Box, a hive, and an external dwelling of gorgons. On the respawn there are many minor stat artifacts (three swords alone), but no minor external dwellings. Also found a Utopia.
113 – I take the swamp secondary hero in the corner of the map, next to which is a hive and the Cloak of the Unjust, excellent. Tazar ate several chests, got some Earth Magic. In the crypt I got a +2 helmet.
114 – Tazar approaches the first hive.
115 – I build hydras and the hive guard (Silver Pegasi) dies without losses, the hive itself is also fine, I sacrificed pikemen and a couple of basilisks, the gnolls are almost all intact (+8 wyverns). But then I attack the Cerberi for the gorgon external dwelling, and there are 48 of them. In the end I had to sacrifice twenty gnolls, a shame. In the external dwelling itself I almost lose a wyvern due to stupidity, but morale activated just in time, dodged a bullet. Meanwhile, Coronius finds another wyvern external dwelling and two gorgon ones, though one is behind fanatics, not for the first week.
116 – Tazar breaks back home, takes the Armor of Wonder, captures a hive with 6 wyverns. I set up a chain for capturing external dwellings. We pause here, everything is basically fine, Mass Slow is almost ready, the army is sufficient, but the GO is not visible yet, and there isn't too much gold.
117 – Manticore lair with 6, wyvern and bull external dwellings are cleared. Build order – 1-7 in the citadel. It's already clear that gold will become a problem.
121 – I buy the spell book, take a hive with 8 wyverns, unexpectedly find a hydra external dwelling right next to my secondary hero.
122 – I learn Mass Slow, take the hydra external dwelling, capture a Rampart secondary town, split my forces there, grab the Conservatory with 3 Angels. Tazar got Artillery, bad.
123 – I fight GO made of bears, on the way – Sultans, I have to run through the desert. Lucky I got Pathfinding. +6 wyverns in the center.
124 – Pandora's Box with the entire level 4, Earth Spell Book, I boost my army in the hive.
125 - +4 wyverns, a prison with a fairly useless Charna, I'm almost out on the road.
126 – I sit down in the town, Dungeon.
127 – I double my mana, fight Rust Dragons, get 20000 experience from the Pandora's Box, finally get something for speed – Advanced Logistics. Picked up 4 more wyverns. Then I scouted the land, thought the opponent was far and unlikely to reach me, decided to power up.
131 – and that's when I got caught. A shame, it could have been an easy win. Ivor, seeing my stats, would have attacked anyway, and Tazar would have cast Anti-Magic on the wyverns, then spammed Armageddons, the path was only 240, but that would have been enough.
A noobish throw like that.
Thank you for the game.
