This was my first time playing this template (as was my opponent's). It immediately sparked considerable interest. How do you get 3 successful heroes onto 111 from three towns?)
This question was pondered over the course of 10+ restarts..)
Anyway, the map turned out to be quite interesting... I'll describe briefly:
Valeska starts from Castle with 20 marks. Shakti sluggishly runs around his own respawn due to a shooting blocker. Rampart is weak overall... 7 elves ran off somewhere into the underground... At the end of the week, Valeska takes my opponent's Conflux. Only level 1 there. But the town has very important strategic significance. Because it connects the opponent's main, my Castle, and the Dungeon.. Shakti takes the minotaurs' nook. 1,2,3,4,5,6 in the Dungeon's Citadel. In Castle, cavalry in the Citadel. But the opponent takes my Rampart on 117 and already has 2 birds... It becomes clear that 5 birds will tear me to pieces... And then around 122, the turning point. Shakti breaks through to Valeska. Gives her 14 minotaurs, 5 manticores, an eye, and a duz. And all of this heads straight for Gunnar, who was standing with 5 birds, 1 angel, 13 air elementals, and 2 psychos. Anyway, the opponent was without a spell book, and the hasted minotaurs tore the birds apart. As a result, Gunnar flees with 1 bird. Consequently, I calmly clear the entire top of the map for 2 weeks... spending 10k gold per day. Valeska with 3400 MP picked up the Breastplate of the Cursed. And on 141, the opponent came to my main. Art + power led by the Angel of Death won.
Many thanks for an interesting game!
Overall, there were some cool skirmishes during the game... near the swamp village in the underground, it was real action... My Rampart guy with elves was running from an enraged guy with a Tower army.. and accidentally took the gnolls' nook... then persistently tried to lure the opponent so he would capture it...)) but that only happened at the end of the 3rd week )
