18.07.2012 Wladysha (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Егор Коробейников (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d3 133
advantage in troops, advantage in angels, advantage in archers + more MP in the final + more rounds + opponent's spell costs
here we go with the advantages.
117
Tazar level 6 (exp wasn't that needed, mass slow) I have 12346 in Castle
117 op Kyril level 6 12456 in Citadel
this despite the opponent having 2 native heroes and 19 elves 70 centaurs at 111
so I played week 1 worse, if at all, not by much.
I had a guy with 4 harpies and a block at the Castle of 18 elves, of which 1 is a GR stack, and he gets morale on turn 1, plus those 19 lizards in week 1.
(not breaking his 111 layout was never evaluated)
although op also lost his guard to archers.
also about the block on the secondary — I didn't know shooters had such low value, there were 94 of them. I broke them with Shoya using 6 ducks, 3 snakes, and 5 gnolls, lost 2 ducks at 121.
well, that's about the topic (if both hadn't been given mass slow and there were no native heroes with army)
at 121 op got Ivor with 10 elves, and the elf stack of 28 turns into 38 at 121. It should be 4+7+10+4=25. That's exactly 1.5 times more, and I made an estimate from above.
126 both get a Conservatory on
127 I still have 1, op has 3
127 Tazar level 14, Kyril level 13
132 I don't have time to merge the army, ask op to let me do it (I see at 131 there are 10-19 angels). Op refuses, but doesn't reach Tazar with Kyril's 4th haste.
then he said he kindly (!!!) let me merge armies, very nice. He said he didn't run to my respawn to kill Shoya with the army — if he had run there, 1st he wouldn't have caught her, 2nd Tazar would have gone into the treasure zone and in 2 weeks the game would have ended (I think it's machinas and 30 mana would have been enough to eat the treasure zone without problems).
133 I merge the army and op attacks. op had an artifact +3 spell turns.
advantage in archers (45 elves vs 55 lizards)
I decided the layout at 111 — the Conservatory was revealed, I decided to play + external dwelling of gnolls, op also had something revealed there.
hello 2 native heroes and a stack of 19 elves at 111 and 70 centaurs
hello at 121 Ivor with 10 elves
. — even Jebus doesn't have that, maybe in the center and only if lucky... and op had it on the main on a SM map. (7 wood piles in the 1st screen!)So I don't know how I could have won when at 127 I was going with angels and all the bought army on the secondary — I wasn't even scared....
well, I had a very good respawn. But the opponent, if you take everything together — starting armies, number of Conservatories — I think only 2 dwellings of elves or unicorns were missing, although even without that there were a lot of them. Earth magic at level 4 for Kyril — I don't know, no way it seems.
In any case, for every chocolate there's another chocolate, and 2 Conservatories on the main isn't the limit. (by the way, I had all the troops and 9 elves)
Added after 1 minute
and also if op hadn't taken Attack at level 3, Earth magic would have been expert already at 5-7 instead of 11. Although I would have taken Attack too, 100%
