11-12.12.12. St_Klaus (red, Rampart, Mephala) def Rockmachine (blue, Necropolis, random, Galthran) 143 2sm4d(3)
We didn't take restarts for some reason.
111 – nothing special, collecting resources, building elves, 4 heroes, Kyrre arrived.
112 – turns out there's plenty of gold, Mephala takes the maxi crypt (artifact from Hypnosis), a scout hero breaks the prison -> + another scout hero; a swamp secondary mine with 10-19 Ogre Magi is scouted, the guard is beaten. Dendroids.
113 – territory scouting, resource collection. Isra arrived as the sixth hero, though later there wasn't much need for necromancy. Citadel.
114 – secondary mine in the swamp is taken -> + tavern. Clearing the respawn, collecting resources. Pegasi.
115 – upgrade of elves, as there's a need to pass to the neighboring grass respawn guarded by 20-49 Griffins, ferrying troops from the castle.
116 – the Griffins are beaten, along the way a quest artifact guarded by 10-19 Wizards is scouted. Unicorns.
117 – Mephala frees Valeska from prison. Level 1. Valya captures a secondary castle, builds Archers in it. Already 8 heroes. A guardhouse is scouted, the only external dwelling in the whole game, I never took it. I start trading resources at the market with the aim of building the castle in the capital, but I simply can't make it within 6 minutes, as a result – 13456 in the Citadel.
121 – Selective clearing of neighboring respawns, upgrade of Unicorns, building the 1000 in the swamp, a tavern – in the castle. Decided to level Mephala on 20+ Earth Elementals. And they turned out to be very "+", even though they guarded just one mill. Almost got wiped, only 9 elves left.
122 – Resource collection. Upgrade of Centaurs. 1000 in the castle. A scout hero lights up the observation point, now I can watch the opponent's heroes moving from the underground to the secondary (castle) and back.
123 – Kyrre on 5 Unicorns takes a crypt, cleans up the remaining shooters from the respawn, collects chests, Mephala runs to the capital, where Mage Guild-1 is built. The scout heroes move chaotically, creating the illusion of some kind of chain. I put a Blacksmith in each secondary.
124 – I hide a scout hero in the castle, recruit Ivor from the tavern with 4 elves and 20+ Centaurs. The scout heroes move around: either to pick something up, or to transfer troops. Finally built the castle in the capital and + Mage Guild-1 in the castle.
125 – Another path leads towards the mud, a scout hero breaks the guard, I send Isra to check it out, I build a chain to the Wizards for the quest artifact. Mephala is at the tip of the attack, I decided to make her the main hero. Mage Guild-2 in the capital, City Hall in the castle.
126 – Mephala captures the artifact from the Wizards with considerable losses – 2 Unicorns and over a dozen Centaurs, breaks into the swamp secondary mine, next to it – a Seer's Hut, they give 15k experience for the artifact. Main hero – expert Leadership, Armorer, Wisdom, Water Magic, basic Archery, stats 5-7-4-2 with no artifacts at all. Build 1000 in the capital.
127 – First contact in the swamp with the opponent's scout. Main hero captures the Gnoll Flail from 50-99 thieves, breaks into the secondary castle. For some reason I built Dwarves in the capital. The scout heroes mostly transfer troops back and forth.
131 – I upgrade Pegasi, almost all are bought except Centaurs and Dwarves; I break the Basilisks guarding the lift to the underground in close proximity to the lift the opponent uses to run to his secondary. I take one last risk to power-level the main hero. The scout heroes ferry troops.
132 – In the underground there are 2 directions – south and east. I go south, a scout hero defeats 20+ Obsidian Gargoyles for the Shield +4, I find blue lurking Nagash with a dozen Zombies taken right there from an external dwelling. I can't reach him. Nearby is a guarded prison. I clear the guard. I build the upgrade for Archers in the castle.
133 – Nagash kills my scout hero, a Swordsman, and runs away. Whether I chased him, I don't remember. I free Sorsha from prison. Isra hangs around in the mud, doesn't get far – blocked by shooters, collects goodies. I upgrade Dwarves, buy them, transfer.
134 – I advance in the underground to the east. Mephala, Kyrre, and a scout hero. Mage Guild-3.
135 – I decided to first capture the opponent's secondary that's visible from the observation point, I exit towards his side with my main force from the subway. The opponent apparently placed a Darkness Veil in his main town, and with each turn in the underground – it's pitch black. I positioned scout heroes to prevent darkness. Market in the capital.
136 – My main hero captures the opponent's secondary castle, I power up on Pegasi. Built Mage Guild-1 to replenish mana. The scout heroes scout the road to the opponent's main castle. Fooling around started, I built a Miner's Guild for some reason ).
137 – An opponent's hero with seven black horses came by, killed one of my scouts. Or two. So the Necropolis castle is very close. The main hero takes a Hive for 8 Wyverns. Meanwhile Isra builds a Wyvern Nest in the swamp secondary to transfer it the next day.
141 – Everyone rushes together from all sides towards the underground. Mage Guild-4 in the capital. Just in case. With Frenzy and Prayer.
142 – Kyrre intercepts the troops brought by the scout heroes and catches up to Mephala, who is heading towards the opponent's castle.
143 – Mephala visits the Marletto Tower and with stats 9-13-5-3, 39 Grand Archers, 51 Grand Elves, 11 Unicorns, 12 Wyverns, 18 Pegasi, 16 Dendroids, 24 Dwarves and 30 mana attacks the castle, where Galthran with 4-5-3-3 (or 5-5-3-3) has 8 Cavaliers, about fifty Grand Zombies + single Vampires and Skeletons, 60 mana. Only the central castle tower was painfully spitting. Otherwise – no chance. Thanks for the game.
I didn't encounter a single external dwelling except Pikemen, and not a single Conservatory throughout the entire game.
