Another epic game. There were a ton of restarts. They banned all my good starts. As usual, basically)
111. Slow roads, wolves are not built. Crag Hack kills dwarves (or golems, I don't remember) for an experience stone. I take and advance artillery... I see an exit to the swamp secondary zone via a road behind Royal Griffins and a nice chunk of experience in the form of 50+ dwarves and another experience stone nearby - Crag Hack goes there. 5 heroes.
112. Crag Hack goes to the experience... 6 heroes.
113. Dilemma: build Griffins or upgrade wolves. I decided to upgrade wolves. Crag Hack breaks through the dwarves, takes the experience stone and gets right next to another passage to the swamp secondary zone across non-road terrain with 50+ dwarves. There's a Gnoll, Loh is preparing to break into the secondary zone. Crag Hack gets Earth magic.
114. Crag Hack killed the dwarves, maxed out Attack. Inham on the Gnoll breaks into the secondary zone. Crag Hack goes along the road, 2 exits to the secondary zone have already been scouted, both on roads (meaning the opponent has only 1 road, which is good). Though one of the guards is 20+ Grand Elves. There's a Stables, an experience stone, and a Griffin Conservatory. I build Griffins.
115. Inham finds a Castle, but the guard is a couple of Wasps( There are a couple of mage huts, I hope to find shooters and break through. Crag Hack runs to the Stables. I build a Market. Little money.
116. In one of the mage huts, Inham finds shooters) I prepare to bring him an upgraded Goblin to be sure to break through the Wasps. Crag Hack visits the experience stone, advances Earth magic, visits the Stables, and prepares to fight 10+ Pit Fiends (guard of the grass secondary zone). Loh checks the Conservatory - it's Throng. I build Bears.
117. Inham beautifully takes the swamp secondary zone. I exchange money for a Bear. I buy him out, Crag Hack breaks through to the Elven secondary zone. I don't build anything, no money.
121. Christian appears in the Tavern (7th hero). Finally, Crag Hack will get a Ballista! Crag Hack kills a small creature stack, maxes Earth magic, approaches the Stables, the secondary zone is already visible. Korbac goes to scout the swamp respawn.
122. Crag Hack takes the Elven secondary zone through the Stables. I build a Mage Guild, Slow is there! I top up to 20 mana) Crag Hack maxed Artillery. Korbac scouts the swamp secondary zone. There's some decent free stuff and no blockers.
123. Crag Hack takes the pre-minor Dragon Fly Hive, gets Archery... Crag Hack runs to the home Griffin Conservatory. Grechka with meat clears the zone.
124. Christian checks the Conservatory - level 2. Crag Hack runs, meanwhile breaking through the guard of the underground treasure zone, advances Archery. Grechka finds a Crypt and a Dragon Fly Hive. At home, I build Orcs.
125. Crag Hack approaches the Conservatory. Grechka clears a creature stack and approaches the Hive. At home, I build a Stronghold. In the swamp - a thousand. I bought Dessa, she carries Wolves.
126. Grechka kills about a hundred Wolves - the Hive guard. They take away a Ballista( But overall, it's fine. I take the pre-minor Dragon Fly Hive. The troops return and Crag Hack takes the Conservatory. Next, I break through Elves (guard of the 3rd secondary zone). Crag Hack gets Air magic. At home, I build Ogres.
127. Crag Hack takes a creature stack, doesn't quite reach the Conflux secondary zone and turns around. Expert Archery. At home, I build a Castle.
131. Dessa takes a secondary zone, the 8th hero is hired. Crag Hack approaches the Stables.
132. The previously broken treasure zone is scouted a bit - nothing interesting found. Crag Hack, via the Stables, heads to the second treasure zone in the Elven zone on mud terrain.
133. Griffins are upgraded, a delivery is made. Crag Hack enters the treasure zone.
134. Pre-major Dragon Fly Hive, 20+ Horses for a ring +1 HP. I see a Water spell book guarded by Arch Devils and Pandora's Box with 100+ Snipers. Crag Hack has Advanced Air magic.
135. Major Dragon Fly Hive. Crag Hack maxes Air magic, prepares to fight the Snipers. Dessa went to clear the Conflux zone: artifact +1 Luck behind Wood stacks, a creature stack.
136. Broke through the Snipers - got all Water spells, no Wisdom) Shield +3+3, Crag Hack got Leadership...
137. Pandora's Box with 50+ Birds. Gave 15 Mighty Liches. Crag Hack got Tactics.
141. Pre-major Dragon Fly Hive.
142. Pre-minor Dragon Fly Hive. Crag Hack advanced Leadership. Dessa continues eating the Conflux respawn.
143. Gold Mine. Pandora's Box for 10k gold guarded by 50 Genies. Pendant +3 Luck and Morale guarded by 50+ Vampire Lords, Level-up tree (expert Leadership). Dwarf Cottage.
144. Cap +3. Refugee Camp. The treasure zone is fully scouted, no utopias( Crag Hack breaks into the Elven secondary zone, tops up mana. A chain is being built to transport troops.
145. Zubin also takes Boots +2 all stats in the treasure zone. With Dessa, the entrance to another treasure zone on Conflux is scouted - the opponent is visible there. Crag Hack runs through the Stables to a hut with Wisdom
146. Tazar's stats show 15-18, my kingdom's army power is higher. The opponent's unit shows upgraded Serpents, meaning the Angels are lost. I decide to fight the other player the next day. Though I could have gone into the swamp treasure zone and upgraded the Serpents. Crag Hack breaks through home and gets positioned for a strike.
147. Bear upgrade. Fight against 50+ Magogs without problems. Advanced Tactics. I don't quite reach the Castle.
211. I kill Loh and attack Loh in the Castle. He counterattacks my army. Kills single Angels, single Birds, 15 Orcs, and a Beholder. I equip the Fire book and the Cap +4 Knowledge and Spells. I attack the Castle... And there's Tazar 22-29-18-19... 47 upgraded Serpents. I have Crag Hack 18-11-11-12 (55 mana). My army: 25 Orcs, 15 Liches, 11+1 Bird, 5 Bears, 46 Wyverns, 60 Wolves. A long tense battle, which I miraculously win because the opponent for some reason charged into attack. In the final, I dealt 580 damage with my army. I had 3 Serpents survive. I seized and bought the growth, and GG followed. Thanks for the game!
ps. it's fun playing without dungeons and utopias against 2 Cow dungeons with a portal to the Dungeon, several utopias that give a level 5 Cap, a Cauldron, Sword of Justice, Tome of Fire, etc. :D
