yes, that's pretty much how it went)))
on 111 in the tower slow, Labetta arrived, there is a hive near the Castle, 2 external dwellings of griffins and 1 of archers, so I decided not to take the remaining restart, which I very quickly regretted
the respawn turned out to be tiny; in addition to what I saw, I eventually managed to scout another hive, and an external dwelling of peaks and griffins
but most importantly -- the respawn was poor, the lohs, while collecting money for angels, constantly hit dead ends and were forced to turn back
I didn't find the external market either; I built markets in captured villages, but neither on 115 nor on 116 were there any angels to speak of
on 117 Mephala finally waited for an angel and went to fight for the 2nd griffin external dwelling behind a pack of snipers (the 1st was taken by a loh behind a pack of mages)
and here the generator successfully solved the problem -- how 18 snipers can kill an angel belonging to Mephala who has a tent, health regen, and healing in her book! :eek: there were at least 4-5 morale checks there, I was especially pleased with the deciding one: the penultimate stack killed the blocking pikeman and hit the angel, and the last one, also blocked, ran up and finished him off by hand; the tent didn't have time to heal :( so neither this external dwelling nor the next was taken, trade in villages for hero redemption
the result of the week is nothing: 1.3-5.7 in the citadel, money at zero and no troops to take from anywhere except 2 hives
but I can try to at least break through the ГО made of upgraded pits))))

at the start of the 2nd, behind a pack of master jinns we take a box for 10K experience, got earth magic and passfind
from the Castle village Labetta brings 19 archers + more from an external dwelling, we place them in the main town and upgrade; lohs take 2 hives while Mephala runs to the ГО, where there are 2 pandoras on the way, hoping to max out earth magic, I gave up wisdom for this
in the 1st behind a horde of hellhounds there are 60 pokemons, in the 2nd -- behind Tronga's chief orcs -- another 10K experience, gave it to log
with oil and a cloak +3 to spell duration I managed to shoot down the ГО with no army, although the summoned demons did some damage
but further along the road are blocks like lots of red dragons; we turn off-road toward the Dragon Utopia and spend the night there on 127; everything is built in the Castle, I didn't build up the 2nd Castle village, I can't afford it anyway
on 131 with a shuttle I take the two-stack, army is small, I lose 1 angel out of 3
got an earth book and a necklace +3 to all
army from the loh in prison, I break back home for mana and at the same time to gain speed, luckily it's close from home to the treasure zone)) along the way I lit up the roads and realized that the generation is bugged, so there is some one-time health regen in the center, but where to get an army? upgrading 2 pitiful angels, but with the earth book fighting is more fun -- I kill the reds (there's a prison with loh-Rissa level 30 and a box for 15K money), the loh, thanks to meteors from the book, hits lots of chaos hydras for a shield +4 to all, then more prisons, sword of justice behind a horde of upgraded necro-horses, central city-tavern
I replenish there, and then Mephala sets out on her final journey -- beats someone for slippers +2 to all and breaks the exit from the center to the neutral respawn, sending another loh from prison in for scouting, maybe I'll find an army there))) but here I notice a cap of 5s, behind it is the Dragon Utopia, I spend the night before it
on someone else's turn, the overview built in the central city allowed me to notice movement; I see Dessa with part of the dungeon power
at the same time they break the 2nd bugged road from my respawn to the center and enemy loh-Daremiyth rolls in with fast units, just one cell short of the village
I wanted to reach Dessa through a couple of visible Dragon Utopias, teleport, and drive away the loh so that the blue boss wouldn't redeem himself in the village; I have nothing to meet him with army-wise
but next to Dessa turns out to be Shakhter himself with 1 stack from a horde of monarchs! we have blind, but no one to give the ballista to(( I decide, if possible, to blind via wait, and then smash the ballista with meteors on the next turn; there's a chance they won't give me another opportunity
but when I attacked, I noticed with horror that there was practically no mana left :D so indeed FF turned into a pure formality :cool:

ГГ, thanks to the opponent for the game :)
