After a crushing defeat at the hands of the forces of darkness, Ivor fled to the bastion of Seiliedh. From the inhabitants, he learned that elementalists had settled in the north and begun to expand their territories. Without hesitation, Ivor began a northern campaign...

Week 1
Very good starting position (Elven and Centaur dwellings). On the second day (22 High Elves), I break through, as it turned out later, to my native secondary castle, visit 3 stones of experience (guarded by 83 Obsidian Gargoyles), and capture the secondary castle. Nearby is a portal to the dungeon. In the second castle, I also build Elves. In the first, I build Pegasi and gather money to buy back troops.

Week 2
I buy all the Elves and Centaurs. I take gloves, 2 hives (10 in total). I take 2 more artifacts (Armor +1 to all and Necklace of Swiftness), breaking through the Iron Golem horde. Then I went through the portal, took a Shield +3 and a Crown in the War Grave. By the end of the week, Ivor is level 13, Unicorns are built. The opponent's hero, Kairie, stands out.

Week 3
I buy all the Elves again (in total, there are 50+), visit the Dwarven Treasury, the Conservatory (+3), and the Medusa Lairs. The Tower is captured by scouts. I am gathering money and resources. By the end of the week, Ivor breaks through the guard to the adjacent zone (Dendroids) and thinks that in the 4th week he will make a march to the northern lands and win the campaign. By this time, he is already level 18, has the Amulet of Courage and other useful artifacts, but has no mana.

Week 4
On day 142, a grand battle took place. hunter98 severely punished me:
"... The armies were roughly equal in number. Suddenly, Firebirds fly to the archer squad and burn the unfortunate ones. Behind them, Storm Elementals and Medusas, who joined them, mercilessly shoot down our troops. We manage to deal with the terrible birds, and then we have to fight the Water Elementals, when there is practically no strength left. With a heavy heart, I gave the order to retreat..."
This was certainly a blow, but I did not give up (Ivor surpassed Kairie in parameters + the opponent also suffered large losses). With the remaining money, I bought Centaurs and Unicorns, gathered the remaining Elves from the scouts, and went first to the Conservatory (+2), and then to the portal - to clear the dungeons. By the end of the week, Ivor is level 20, has many artifacts (one of them is the Book of Water Magic), and 16,000 gold. Hope for victory has appeared.

Month 2 Week 1
Ivor continues to explore the dungeon, finds an Angel and Cavalier dwelling, a gold mine, Pandora's Boxes (mostly gold), and good artifacts. I see the opponent's main hero, who took the Dragon Utopia. I decided to take it too (for 30,000 gold, Angel Wings, Book of Earth Magic). Also, the army was replenished with 25 Wyverns.
On day 6, Kairie breaks through the guard and kills one of my scouts (almost reached the capital). Ivor quickly returns to the capital, receives reinforcements, and attacks:
"... Everyone stood up to defend their native city, even the Dendroids from the neighboring province expressed a desire to participate. Arriving at the place, the Elementals were already ready for battle and were waiting for our first strike. I ordered the archers to open fire on the Storm Elementals... They were brave guys..."
The second battle was won by me, but with great losses:
"... This time, our troops were better prepared. The best riders on pegasi gave their lives for our victory and gave the Dendroids and Wyverns the opportunity to do their job. The enemy fled, but this was not the end..."
At the end of the week, Ivor spends the night near the stables, level 22.

Month 2 Week 2
Ivor visits the stables and gathers reinforcements (by this time, 67 Dendroid soldiers have been recruited into the army). On the second day, Kairie attacks, this time using magic (in the second battle, there was a Sphere of Negation). And again, bloodshed:
"... Unexpectedly, we stumbled upon the troops of the Elementals. There were fewer of them, but their strong magic was felt. I cast the spell "Stone Skin". The Elementals slowed us down and began to bombard us. Lightning rained down on our heads with amazing accuracy. Cavaliers, Dendroids, and Wyverns avoided slowing down and rushed forward. Everyone fell, except for the Dendroids, who reached the enemy troops, pinned them to the ground, and destroyed entire squads of elementals..."
The opponent's lightning dealt more than 500 damage, but the number of Dendroids practically did not decrease; there was simply nothing to fight them with... The opponent fled, then returned with storm elementals (by that time, I also had Unicorns in my troops) and surrendered on the third day.

hunter98, thank you very much for the game! Many emotions and experiences!:smile20:
