"Not a step back!" Albert@s (tan, Tower, Iona, Pikudram) + Wlk777 (red, Barbarian, Tyraxor) def ""KostoWar" wariator (green, Rampart, Mephala)+ KostyaN (blue, Dungeon, Shakti), Jebus Cross 125
Definitely the hardest and most bitter loss in my life! Truly "the guy was on his way to success...":D .
Couldn't resurrect again, and how could you resurrect something like this:confused: ? A bunch of great heroes (even if fighters), like Alkin, Fiona (lvl 1 from a prison with dogs for a speed boost), Gundula, Crag Hack, a very convenient stable, 2 beehives, a Minotaur external dwelling, a +6 shield visible. Romych also had a fat score: beehives, 60 centaurs from a chest, some other stuff... Only the complete absence of Pandora's Boxes (absolutely none!) and prisons, and also artifacts, gave me vague concerns. I'm writing for myself overall - that'll be more correct, Roma will chime in anyway;) .
On 112, I carefully took 2 beehives (not like last time - head-on:D , but already with some fattening from the treehouse-tower + eyeballs, the first one with Alkin because of Armor, all according to the canons and precepts of the fathers:cool: ). 11 wyverns (in the 2nd one, taken by Gundula, 1 quicksand was eaten, but knowing about possible moral penalties from overkill and to save timer - I didn't object). Dunno why, in the absence of artifacts with magic and boxes, I decided on Gundula for the kingdom (well, overall the hero is more than decent...) and changed my mind about taking the Manticore external dwelling - because the scout ran into a Gog... on the Dragon external dwelling!:smile03:
On 113, I cleared the red external dwelling, but was a couple of steps short of entering, oh well, but I found 2 more convenient beehives!!:eek: and I sense the Dragon Utopia is not far, there were even options (depending on what the Dragon Utopia was) - to hit it on 114 with 20+ wyverns. Gundula lvl 5 with advanced Earth. On 114, an external dwelling drops with the loss of 4-5 single caps and a cart (just a fattening one:) ). And 2 beehives - total 21 wyverns, not great... (if only I knew that not far in a nook there was a 5th beehive, even if mini...:rolleyes: ). But the scouted Dragon Utopia killed me:smile11: - the RNG responsible for Dragon Utopias "loves" me! A horde of Wizards! Roma sends 8-9k, nice:) . No room to retreat, knowing the opponents' skill...
115-116 - I leveled up Earth magic to 4 on Naga (1 wyvern got killed:( ) and sat down to replenish mana - with a cap of +4, I got a whole 70. Frantically building guilds everywhere, nothing useful! In the far treehouse there's a shield and leather, but while I'd be fighting back and forth there, the center would already be eaten up!:smile35: In the secondary town near the Dragon Utopia - only Haste, Arrow, Lightning (didn't get Slow on the 2nd:mad: ), I knew there would be losses, but what to do... But not like this! I thought for a long time about how to split the stacks before the fight (I wanted 10+10 Wyverns and 1+1 or 2 Dragons), I decided on 8 Medusas (forgot about the portal on the 2nd, took their external dwelling), 20 Wyverns as one stack under Haste (speed 1st) and 1+1 Dragons, and gargoyles for some reason - and they screwed me!:mad: In the critically important 2nd round, the 20 Wyverns get demoralized!:smile35: :mad: :smile11: And then GG, and, it must be said, those guys are something else! In the 1st round, 3 stacks of 10-11 on a curved arrow took out a whole Dragon of mine!:eek: :smile11: I retreated when 2 Wyverns were left, and they still had almost 30... I haven't really had such an epic fail since 2008, for all my noobness!:o Probably, I should have waited for 4 Dragons on 121 and gone out more or less thoughtfully (maybe the 5th beehive would have been found, and I could have leveled up the mama a bit, and pried out the small shield from the respawn labyrinths - that +6 shield, as it turned out, was not at all meant for our heroic chains, you'd need a qualified proctologist to extract it, the generator twisted the path to it so much!:D ).
After that, I dumped everything to zero on 3 markets - repaid my debt to my partner + 20-25k extra:) . 4 unified external dwellings were nice, but there were losses here and there - and the Dragon Utopia was pretty weak for a "BT", overall no stats, no magic, no cash for either of us... And then - cosmic parameters, especially "KS" - almost 30, and most importantly, they ate the juiciest corner of the treasure zone right before our eyes. We decided not to drag it out.
Thank you all! Roma, sorry for letting you down...
