Started the day before yesterday, the opponent took 111, then my power went out, so the game was postponed; finished it today.
Nice start, Gosh with 3 stacks, a lot of meat came in, a Stable under the town, 150 skeletons on 112, immediately got Offense. Broke the Dragon Fly Hive for 100+ Centaurs, farmed a few kills at the end of the fight, and took one hit from a full stack. Ah well. Hive 50+, not going in.
113 - external market, got Earth. Broke the Greater Basilisks for a Pandora's Box, broke it poorly, -20 skeles. Got 50 zombies. Over half the respawn turned out to be quite inconveniently placed, across rough terrain, and one of the villages is blocked. Scouted the GO, Titans and Greater Minotaurs, choose whichever.
114 - took a secondary Dungeon, replenishing mana. Found a Griffin Conservatory not far from the road, tier 3-4. Sandro took a +4 Shield and bypassed the second secondary, the Citadel.
115 - set Gosh on the Dragon Fly Hive, nothing else interesting.
116 - attacked it, +8 Wyverns. Then a Ring of Speed for 80 Harpies, a prison with someone, and another Hive with 8 Wyverns for a hundred Orcs. 200 skeletons.
117 - attacked Sandro's Faction Dwelling, just a mini. Realize Gosh is out of mana again because I didn't think to set up the Whirlpool right away. Went back for double mana, running to the Conservatory.
121 - have 300 bones, broke the Conservatory, tier 3.
122 - crashed Gosh into the Stable and ran to the GO. Took a +5 Helm. Pyr breaks the far Hives, the first one for 45 Monks with Griffin Statue, killed a Wyvern. The Hive is max, gave up 20 zombies. Got Armor.
123 - last Hive, of 6 Wyverns, for a horde of Eyes, no losses here. Then for some reason attacked Crellion's Genies for a Pandora, and carelessly attacked Angels. Took 201 damage in return... Idiot? Idiot. Empty Pandora.
Attacked the GO, misjudged a tile at one point, a full stack of Minotaurs crashed into the skeles. Total -66. But got Pathfinding. Same turn, prison with Rion level 10, +5 Shield, +10 Spellpower, a Pandora for 25 Greater Demons. Fought horribly, wasted all mana, so didn't go to the opponent.
124 - took the Inferno center. Built a Tavern instead of the Mage Guild)) As always) But revealed a bunch of goodies near the town, though surrounded by Black Dragons)
125 - broke through 9 Black Dragons for Wings and a +5 Club. Then took a double Dragon Utopia, got a Chalice, Ring of Life, and Boots of 15% Resistance. Nothing to fight to level up, and need to refill mana. Pyr takes a Pandora for 10k gold and hits a triple Dragon Utopia, gave Sandals, Water Book, and a Red Orb. But the skeleton stack is heavily thinned, only 200 left. Stayed in the Red Orb because I scouted one of the opponent's heroes at the GO.
126 - Kyrre breaks the GO, but doesn't reach me. Bring up 65 skeletons and attack her with Gosh, no mana but with a Red Orb, she surrenders. Thanks for the game!
There was one last rest left, I didn't take it, although I could have risked it since the layout was mediocre. At the start, 10 Elves and a hero with a Ballista, nothing particularly tasty, a few Pandora Boxes, a couple of hives, and an external Dragon dwelling, could have been worse. On 117 I took the external Dragon dwelling, the guard was only 25 Grands and Dragons in the fort. On the second day I scouted almost the entire respawn, but didn't find a single Griffin Conservatory, in short nothing that would help take the home Dragon Utopia and upgrade the dragons; I took a Pandora for 20 Dendroids for 20 Scorpicores and a couple more Pandoras. On 126 I broke the GO with Nagas and was 1 tile short of reaching Pyr with the army, but the stats were a tier higher and he had the Red Orb, plus there was money for ransom, so I had no chance anyway.
Thanks for the game!
