I'll engage in necroposting:smile34:, especially since this resource doesn't penalize it with violation points:D ...
So, the return of the epic loser has happened, hooray, comrades:smile44: !
KostyaN aka KonstantOut (Swamp, Brogh, Brogh)lose Mee(Bear Town, Tyras, Tyras), Jebus Cross, Full VT, -2500 (3500 for Brogh - handicap for a noob IMHO:rolleyes: , and 1000 for color), 123
First time (seriously!) playing Brogh... liked it, damn it - almost collected all the classes for speed, almost:) .
I took 1 rest 112 (lost 1+1 ducks with a scout hero on 49 archers, didn't expect it would be maximum) - and off we go.
111. 5 heroes total, so far I only see a sword +5 all for gr. uniques, bastards blocking the road, at least you can go around them, that's good:rolleyes: , a box behind a horde of Cerberi, a couple of crypts and... that's it, the daddy with lizard upgrade leveled up on a large horde of zombies.
111. Opponent has 7 heroes, 3 Dragon Fly Hives visible, 2 external dwellings each of birds and bears, a Griffin Conservatory with a box behind Liches, an external market - not bad at all! The boss is already 4th with Defense and Air.
112. 7 heroes, found an external dwelling of Hydras, cows, 2 beehives along the path, a box behind blue Gremlins, Brogh caught Navigation under Explorer (for HoMM3 players I explain: the Explorer class gives +200/400/600 MP at basic/advanced/expert levels respectively; it's assembled from Scouting+Navigation, its easy assembly is one of the main reasons for choosing Brogh as a starting hero for Swamp, more precisely - his imbaness); however, the day is marred by a mega-unique battle in a crypt against 5 Fangs (you won't replicate it offline either - I assure you, friends!:smile27: ): not only did I position incorrectly somehow, but I also wanted to save 1 or both flies, as a result 2 flies are intact, but minus 20 Gnolls and 2 Lizardmen:smile44: even on Noobs in a group nobody has played like that for ages:D !
112. Found a 4th tree, took one + recaptured a second external dwelling of bears - in general, a boring correct game, nowhere near my noob fun:smile19: !
113. Recaptured the 1st tree (and spotted another +2 - total 4, but 1 is far away, inconvenient...), but didn't go for the 50-99, though I should have fought in the crypt - I would have traded 1-2 levels for ducks and boosted the tempo:mad: , freed Alagar lvl 10 with Centaurs and Dwarves for feeding, but never used his frosty shooting on 100+ right away - noob:cool: , in the army there's a remainder of 19 Lizardmen, 10 Gnolls and 2 ducks + flies; various goodies visible like a cap 5x behind Devils, a library on the road behind up to 100 Elves, +1 speed+junk behind from 50 Nomads - none of that was taken by the end of the game :smile35: - it's easier to break a wall with your head than to teach KostyaN to play HoMM; the daddy lvl 8 - the only "tempo" thing:) ...
113. Found the 3rd external dwelling of bears, another Griffin Conservatory and a Tome of Water behind Swords (for HoMM3 players: in VT Dimension Door is in Water, not in Air), little Tyras got Scouting at 5th levelup, 1st beehive on 4 gutted; as Mee told me after the game - if he knew there would be 3 external dwellings a bit earlier - he'd go for 4 Gray on 1st day and GO - 117...
114. The boss is wasting time waiting for 5 Wasps and Hydra for the Dragon Fly Hive, but gets Offense at lvl 9:smile02: ; 1 native tree is guarded by Lizardmen, and the cockroach on a fly only flew there and without a tome - not good, the passage to the second is blocked by an indecent number of Evil Eyes, they truly are evil - lined up on every junk and Wyvern dwelling, may their eyes pop out (and tentacles wither!);) ; GO - red cats, horde, medium quality, it gets better, but it gets waaaay worse, like Titans, Sultans, Faerie Dragons...
114. Another beehive destroyed, aiming for the next - routine:) .
115. The cunning cockroach, with the help of 15 trained puppies from the kennel, finally takes a secondary hero;) ; took 8 ducks - the slowpoke managed it:smile11:! broke from the starting position (VT expert Scouting:smile02: ) and I'm drooling over a box behind Cerberi near the main base, and also... "I'm building chains," no matter how funny that sounds in relation to KostyaN's game:D; ignoring a convenient external dwelling of cows - maybe one of the few correct decisions in the game that I'm not ashamed of:o .
115. Griffin Conservatory for 3 Angels taken, no idea which tree is explored and another taken, 1 Swamp secondary hero painted and 1 native at a yet unknown GO spotted; in the army 28 Wolves with a sword, 15 ducks, 45 Orcs from a box, 3 Imps and Angels each, some with a chevron, some still privates:rolleyes: .
116. I munch a Hydra dwelling off the road with a scout hero and with the daddy - ta-dam - an empty box:mad: ; I'm not taking the sword +5 all yet, probably correctly, anyway I'd lose ducks there, 10 is too few, on the 2nd there were like 18 - the Unicorns with the same speed as Brogh's Wyverns... I run to 2 beehives, and feverishly think - what to do next, how to break through GO sooner, how to buy the tome, how to take this sword, and also thoughts flash about how to build a super-mega-transcontinental CHAIN for the cap 5x - but I realize that all this is impossible simultaneously... without cheats:smile08:
116. Tyraksor near KV behind Swords, for some reason grabbed Fire at lvl 9:confused: , for Town Portal maybe (in VT it's in Fire), various external dwellings are being taken, GO Angels, there's a cuirass +4/4 behind Horses.
117. I gather Nebuchadnezzar (or whatever his name is?:confused: ) and NP-streniti (thanks to Positive - set an example!:smile03: ), take the sword, learn magic, max mana in the well, take the cap 5x, smash GO to hell and, passing like a hot knife through butter through the center, kill the shocked opponent... EEEEhh - dreams, dreams:rolleyes:!.. I take another 8 Wyverns with Broghild and +8 with a scout hero (losing a couple on the guard and in the hive itself:smile18: ), there's a thought to take a Pandora's box for 10-19 gr. ducks, but it's kind of scary to go in with simple ones (as it turned out - correctly, again it was magic:p); Hydras in the castle, and money is running out:( ...
117. Another Griffin Conservatory, mini; Imps in the castle (their growth +5! +8 if with external dwellings:eek: ) - nothing else interesting, and yeah, money is scarce too.
121. I take a vial +2 HP immediately with a scout hero, with the daddy I fight into the main base, realize there's no mercury for duck upgrade, and nowhere to pick it up:smile11: ! by hook or by crook through trade at the only market and a loan from the bank, I still upgrade as much as I can - I beat the notorious Rampart horses and position myself not far from GO, no time for the tome, and no money for an extra 2 setup breaks +2000 for the guild - absolutely none:smile27: .
121. The leader at GO too, on Angels, only the lack of money slowed the tempo, I assume; artifacts fit well into the stats, though not like my +5 all:) .
122. I burst in, without losses of ducks/Hydras, and that's something, I manage to drool over various Dragon Utopias behind Titans and prisons with junk on top for under 50 Gray(:eek:!) and take 1 Hydra dwelling - the center is native:smile43: ! but I can't even afford to buy that poor Hydra:D :D , I see a ring to go with my vial +2 HP for a set, and I camp near it with 5 Hydras and singles of gr. Wyverns with 24 main ones.
122. The Ural tough guy sweeps everything in his path, brings the number of ducks to 33, pumps the whole army god knows how! there's 60+ Black Wolves and Orcs alone worth, not to mention 10 simple bears:smile10: :smile19: !...
123. ...and all this rabble with a leader surpassing mine in stats finds the sleeping main Lizard; he dies in his sleep, God forbid such a dream:eek: !
In short, Good Game. Thanks everyone for your patience: both for playing, and for reading THIS:) !
I rate my game with a correction for 1.5-2 years of HoMM hiatus - a solid four... with a minus:o . Main complaints against myself: the battle in the crypt on 112, crooked chains, not buying the tome and not taking the cap 5x and the library, with correct play I suspect GO would have been broken even on 117 with my setup, and - incorrect financial planning at the end of 1st/beginning of 2nd. Something like that...
