The Elemental of the God, demons (Jeza) defeated $an4es, priests (Brand), sun 247
a late game, stage 1, round 3
Jeza, starting with a city of Succubi, decided to play aggressively. Only Dwelling 3. The elongated map with mountains in the center didn't stop him.
First, he built a Maggild with an arrow, then a pit. Machines with a tent arrived quickly, so he had to build a forge on turn 116. The passage city was sandy, the mining city was his own. He went for the passage city, but the mining city remained unconquered.
He didn't risk playing Chaos, as he wouldn't have been able to arrive that early. He broke through to the gold mine late, where he found Dwelling of Draconians from Arkat. He broke through to the secondary city, where he found Dwelling of Priests from Arkat. The opponent found Dwelling of Berserkers.
He captured the Elven city, and as usual, he took Dryads (he never bought Devils). Zoltan, after capturing the Ancients, summoned 3 Liches with resurrection, and Jeza already had a Black Dragon. He continued with Valkyries, Liches, and Imps. He lost half of his Valkyries to Graveyard Dryads, but 1 survived and healed another 20 with Elven regeneration.
In the Maggild, he found a Berserker, took 4 Dark units with the base, and was satisfied. But Brand was advancing. He took his secondary city. He retreated to his own. There was snow and emptiness. A week later, he found a Utopia, took it like Dmitrik, then a Temple, maxed out. Huge thanks to Y11, who somehow told him what to do with the Temple. He took the Staff, cast Secrets of Light on the Mentor, and maxed out Light with Mass Bless. Resurrection appeared in the book.
Brand was approaching, so he teleported home, sold artifacts, put on shackles, and ran to meet him.
Grok with 1 Dragon, a Tome of Chaos, and SP 3 attacked first, died before his turn, but maybe he at least reduced some bonuses. Then Jeza.
Gnomes rushed into battle on the Rune of Energy, demons were summoned, Dryads raised SP to 32. The Staff and Berserker decided the battle. The brave Gnomes still perished on the land of demons.
Thanks for the game.
I confirm. It was all decided by that damn Staff:mad:, to hell with it:D. The first 2 weeks didn't go very well (Jeza was even slightly ahead in the tavern), but somehow I managed to gather enough money and resources, and at the beginning of the 3rd week, I finished building the Capitol and all the creatures in the castle, and started leveling up. Seeing that I was ahead of the opponent in leveling up, I decided to move towards him (after studying the Runes and Light spells). But apparently, I was looking for too long, and Jeza managed to clear out the secondary city, grab artifacts for initiative, and that decided the final battle (I had nothing for initiative at all:smile39:). Thanks for the game and the provided replays
