The balance was rich as never before, not a single treasure chest on respawn, a couple of piles of gold. There's a Griffin Conservatory and stables. Gurni arrived with a ballista, Monere, Kyrre, under the castle there's a hut with Air magic, visited it immediately.
On day 112, Monere took the native village and transferred troops to Tyraxor, who pushed through with 30 wolves past the hell hounds (-2 wolves from blunt damage) and sat in the Rampart village.
113 — hitting 95 dwarves on the grass for a Pandora's box + crypt. -1 wolf, 6 goblins and a ballista. In the Pandora's box: 50 centaurs. We take 2 crypts, next turn a warrior's tomb behind vampires, there's an imba artifact, a Spyglass.
115 — Shield +4, Tyrax expert in Attack, Tactics, Air Magic.
I was thinking about what to build, bears in the Citadel or ogres in the Castle. I discovered there's no wood for ogres, decided to go with bears after all. Built a Prefecture, and realized the wood was lying right next to it. Oh well. On day 117, with a trade, I build bears.
Second week, Tyraxor got a Ballistics tent. I chose the second option. Built a Mage Guild in Rampart, got Haste, excellent. Josephine took the third crypt, the last income structure I saw. At least there's 3k income.
123 — Griffin Conservatory trio by Tyraxor, in the Conservatory I stupidly mispositioned and lost all the orcs. Also lost 5 wolves, a bird, and 35 centaurs, acceptable for 3 angels.
125 — hitting a crowd of minotaurs and a hundred ghosts, I approach the Necro fort, on the way a Pandora's box with 5k gold. I scouted Air Magic, opponent seems far away. I leave 6 birds and 2 angels on Monere. Then we saved.
126 — we continue, and Monere is attacked immediately, I lose 4 birds right away, in return I lose 8 crossbowmen, having sped up the angel. I ransom. Mephala can't quite reach the town.
FB — delivery of goblins, ransom of Monere, we attack, fortunately Mephala has no Tactics. FB in classic style, Tactics + Mass Haste, -2 angels and 50 pikemen in the first round, in return we killed an angel and a bear, opponent didn't use magic, was without a spell book. In the second round, the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game!
