10.07.2012 Juristis (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def HellLighT (red, Rampart, Ivor, Kyrre) Jebus Cross 142
Opponent used both resurrections, I did not use mine.
111 - 2 stacks for Shakti, 3 for Adgit, 2 external dwellings of eyes lit up, cloak +2 speed and a hive for 20-49 king cyclopes. Many stat boosters.
112 - saw another medusa dwelling and a dungeon village. Nothing else particularly interesting, but was hoping to see something later.
113 - couldn't hold back laughter, another helmet +6 to all stats on the respawn. Took the village, bought a spellbook, took the eye dwelling, upgraded Troglodytes. Control - a horde of manticores.
114 - Kalhom maxi-crypt, killed 7 Troglodytes (can't properly take crypts on necro ground). Medusa dwelling, armor +1 to all stats, 3 mercenary camps (+1 to attack). Eye upgrade.
115 - prison with Ignissa level 10, then broke through 28 gr vampires along the road for a library. And to top it off, lost another dozen Troglodytes in the maxi-crypt by placing them in the center.
116 - medusa dwelling for 8, another crypt, prison with Melody level 5, castle village, defeated Shakti.
117 - Galtran took a second eye dwelling, Shakti took the cloak +2 speed, then advanced earth magic on zombies. Originally planned to hit the control on 122, but apparently won't have time to level up enough. Home 1-4 in Citadel + portal, secondary has portal.
121 - exchanged resources at markets, upgraded medusas, took the helmet with Shakti (had almost 100 eyes, lost 18 Troglodytes), and shield +3 with Yog.
122 - upgraded harpies, kill 23 gr cyclopes, take a hive for 6 Wyverns. Exp from off and logs, advanced tactics and earth magic. 1009 exp to level, damn it...
123 - Shakti gets defeated in the dungeon near the control and runs for a chest, it has 500 exp, but that damned tactics gets leveled up. I decide to hit the control without oil, since it's already come to that. Ignissa takes a maxi-hive and a sword +2-2.
124 - shield +5 with Das, defeating 2 noobs around the control, then I break through, with stats 19-19 the cats fell surprisingly easily, if I'd known, I'd have broken through the previous turn. They give armor, couldn't refuse. Immediately pack of gr hydras for shield +12, then with oil 35 bears for a hive, Pandora's Box and necklace +3 to all stats. The Pandora's Box had exp.
125 - cast double mana, which I forgot last turn. Hive for 8 Wyverns. Pandora's Box with exp for Ignissa, earth spell book for Gretchin.
126 - behind the devils I take wings + Dragon Utopia, mini Dragon Utopia, gives air spell book. Immediately Dimension Door to the home Dragon Utopia, it's a level 2 one, Titan's Plate and +1k gold. Town Portal home - Deesa runs to the spotted Griffin Conservatory, conservatories as many as 2, but behind the blue tent. Sadness. They cut down Ignissa.
127 - Shakti takes a hive for 6 Wyverns in the center, armor +4-4. Das reaches the opponent's central tower, I take it. I return the army to Shakti, cut down 5 of the opponent's heroes in one turn.
131 - visited 2 libraries with the main hero, scouted that Kyrre ran to the citadel-respawn, there is a blocked swamp on the way to it.
I don't remember much after that, it was late night. Griffon Conservatory wars, I took the central swamp, visited another 2 libraries, took 2 small hives, 3 Griffin Conservatories, including the home ones behind the blue tent. Took the opponent's main, dungeon on a neutral respawn, there's also a dragon dwelling there.
On 142, during the mop-up, I caught Kalid with an army on the citadel-respawn, after that the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game!
I confirm, oh that Juristis, I warned him that with his luck in fun games, he'd cry later in tournaments! Karma is a thing. I got 2 blocked respawns, a small piece of grass zone about 1/7 of the total map area was revealed, pleased by 2 external elf dwellings, a decent amount of crypts/medusa dwellings/2 maxi-gnomish dwellings, a dragon dwelling and wyvern dwelling, and that was the end of the good stuff. Neither Kyrre nor Ivor got earth magic, specifically for the control I had to urgently level up a zero-level Labetha, in the end with 60 elves, 2 dragons, 9 wyverns and imps on day 123, I barely managed to deal with 60 gr unicorns with attack 4 (shield +3+3). But the treasure zone met me with open arms as always: 2 hives, a blocked road to a tower with 20-49 bone dragons (there was no question of even fighting them, since after the control I also had to break through a block of 80 monks with griffins, after which only 3 unicorns and 1 dragon remained). I wasted almost 2 extra turns going cross-country to take it. The only nice thing was the Sword of Justice for gr behemoths, but even then I had to send Labetha home to replenish mana. Meanwhile, the opponent had more and better artifacts on his respawn than I had in the treasure zone, and at the exit, it was basically Aladdin's treasure chest. I tried to find luck on the citadel-respawn, but there from 3 Dragon Utopias I got nothing useful except for control, but I already had all the air spells from the Pandora's Box. After my main force was caught with full control, I decided there was no point in struggling, because even after gaining stats I wouldn't match that crazy Shakti, and in army strength, not even close. Thanks for the game.
