I took one rest, 112 and off we went.
Week 1 – No Hounds. With Crag Hack, 6 orcs arrive + I build 7 = 13, playable. I discover that the wood mine is blocked by 50-99 Gremlin eyes behind a Pandora's Box, and the ore mine by 10-19 Demons. I think about taking 111, but I spot an external dwelling of monsters, so we play. The third hero to arrive is Gosha. The path to the secondary terrain (swamp) is guarded by 20-49 Hounds. On Day 113, I attack – there are 48 of them! I get through with heavy losses, further down the road is blocked by 20-49 Zombies. I attack and lose!!! There are 46 of them, and I have 13 orcs and a bit of cannon fodder. I type GG, but my opponent gives me the auto-continue, for which thank him. I replay the battles, and come out of them with 10 orcs and a couple of singles, capturing the swamp. Gosha experts Necromancy + I find a Cape in a wagon, I get Earth magic, Crag Hack gets Tactics, Archery + I find an artifact +10% to Archery, Earth magic, but I only learned Slow at the end of the game. First week – a complete failure, no wood or ore, by Day 115 only 1, 3, Citadel, and Capitol are built. With my last wood, I build 2 Marketplaces, on Day 116 – Hounds, on Day 117 – Harpies. Total: 1, 2, 3, 5 in the Citadel + Capitol. Disaster. I didn't take the external dwelling because I had no one to do it with. However, a lot of gold was stashed.
Week 2, plenty of gold, so I immediately buy growth + hire Grechkin with Goblins – I take the external dwelling of monsters, losing 2 singles. I put them in the castle, so at the start of the week I have 2 monsters and a combat-ready army. I capture the secondary town – Inferno, Naga Bank, max Medusa Hovel. In the castle: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7. Gosha makes Skeletons, but very slowly.
Week 3 – I take the Pandora's Box behind the Gremlin Eyes, which gives me 35 Orcs. I break into the treasure zone and start clearing it, I get a Sword +6, Shield +6, two Dragon Fly Hives +6, +12 Wyverns. No Oil, so skeletons which I was so frantically gathering take losses. Pandora's Box with 20 non-upgraded Vampires. On Day 137, I position Crag Hack on the attack start in the Dragon Utopia.
Week 4 – I chain-transfer the entire army (10 non-upgraded Monsters, 14 Wyverns, Skeletons somewhere around 150, 60 upgraded Orcs I don't take into the Dragon Utopia, a hundred Goblins, 20 Vampires). I take the Dragon Utopia – there's a Helm +6 to all stats. I lose almost all the Skeletons.
I break through the adjacent secondary territory towards the opponent, I position Crag Hack on the attack start. The opponent attacks, I retreat, and Gosha is behind with the entire army and artifacts.
I chain-transfer the entire army back to the castle, buy back Crag Hack, upgrade the Monsters, and position them on the attack start in front of the GO – 5-9 Faerie Dragons (turned out to be 6). On Day 143, I attack, losing 2 Monsters, 6 Wyverns, etc. I break through to the opponent's castle but fall short by a few moves, I never got Logistics for Crag Hack. Thorsar enters the castle and starts bombarding me with Implosions. He takes out 3 or 4 Harpies. I don't dare attack, I only have 9 spell points, and there are 500+ Marksmen, 5-9 Angels, 10-19 upgraded Nagas, 20-49 Mages. I decide to go capture a secondary town to replenish mana, I want to finish building the Mage Guild in Inferno, I had a scroll of Armageddon. But the opponent attacked himself. Final Battle: Crag Hack level 16, stats 23 21 10 9 (9 mana), 8 upgraded Monsters, 7 Wyverns, 57 upgraded Orcs, 98 upgraded Orcs. Siren level 12, stats 1 5 6 9 (87 mana), 8 Angels, 500+ Marksmen, 11 upgraded Nagas, 33 Mages, single Genies. Siren casts Mass Haste, protects the Marksmen. My turn – expert Oil, 8 Monsters attack the Angels – 5 of them die instantly. The opponent surrenders! Thanks for the game, and for the auto-continue! The tempo was very slow due to the lack of wood and ore; I thought for sure it was a lost game, but everything turned out well!
