19.05.2012 Nolife(red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Kluka(blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 8mm6a 135
Confirmed.
On 111 forgot to disable quick, instantly -20 Centaur (gr. pixies), thx for auto.
In the regular battle lost 4 Centaur and squeezed out from 4 Castle Archers.
On 112 took an external dwelling of Elves.
One road to the center, there are 2 teleports behind 6000 guard and some junk with 12500.
114. See the enemy’s castle, but the road is blocked by 20-49 Energy Elementals by the beehive. Going towards the corner town.
Enemy runs out to meet me.
115. Killed 2 of the enemy’s heroes. Enemy retaliated by hiring another one and locked himself in the Citadel. Bastard.
116. Lured the enemy out of the Citadel by placing Kyrre with an army in a narrow spot behind a scout without an army. Enemy takes the bait, kills the scout. Next day I kill the enemy without losses.
I set GM1 at the enemy.
Home 1-5 except 2 in the Citadel + 1000, enemy has 1-4 in the Citadel.
121. Opponent appears with 130+ gr. Troglodytes and 18 Evil Eyes, kills my scout. I’m left with 2 heroes :) The fleeing scout blocked the hero with the army :(
I retreat to a corner looking for gold.
122. Sold all resources on the market and built a castle at home for defense against Shakti.
Shakti doesn’t risk storming the fortifications and blocks the narrow passage so I can’t combine my army.
125. And a bit of cheekiness :) Kyrre with a running start and stables dashes through the teleport Shakti came from, and kills the opponent’s scout.
126. Kyrre is met by 2 Cats + 10 Medusas + a group of Wolves. I kill 1 Cat and a Medusa, buyback. Shakti runs into the portal.
No money to buy back Kyrre, I skip the turn.
127. Buy back Kyrre, refill mana at the well and run to the center (stand in Shakti’s reach). Hoping he won’t attack on 131, but wants to attack with the weekly growth. Meanwhile I’ll have time to flee somewhere to the computer. Army - 30 Grand Elves, 8 Pegasi, 5 gr. Centaurs :-)
And that’s exactly what happens - on 131 Kyrre takes the central town, and on 132 the first fight with Orange.
133. With the remainder of 16 Grand Elves (out of 27) + 1 Pegasus I storm Orange’s castle (there are Roc nests and a Capitol!)
After that there were 2 options:
1) either Kyrre breaks through home and defends the castle (had Ice Bolt with 5KS at base Water, well, stats similar to Shakti)
buyback with the army from Orange would be impossible due to lack of money
2) or, conversely, the Grand Elves would need to be bought back from the opponent’s scout, and then Kyrre could have made it, for example, with Barbarian growth on 141 to take the Griffin Conservatory.
The problem in this case - all resources are sold on the market, no heroes; unclear how soon Shakti will come.
Instead, I sat with a scout in the castle, hoping to tie up the Angel with wood and manage to shoot it down with the retreated Grand Elves - but, alas, there were 2 Angels :(
Thanks for the game!
