From the beautiful and mysterious forests of Rampart we move to lands where rivers of lava flow - to the lands of Inferno.

Week 1
Gogs not built. I hire Gervulf and immediately see Tazar in the tavern (he becomes the main hero). With the lookout tower I notice that the respawn is small, the guards of the secondary are Gr. Dwarves. The secondary town turned out to be Conflux, rich in everything (many Crypts, Treasury Vaults, 2 Earth dwellings, 2 Air, 1 Water, 1 Fire Elemental dwellings + a dwelling of Elves). I decide to build Conflux on the second week, but for now I barely buy Efreeti and put them in the citadel along with Pit Lords. Tazar wasn't very lucky - upon leveling up he was offered either Eagle Eye or Ballistics. I chose the latter.

Week 2
I buy all the Efreeti and transfer them to Tazar as quickly as possible. Total scouting for gold is underway. Tazar also helps - he clears treasure chests, cleans Crypts. Fire and Earth Elementals join the army. Unexpectedly, Gunnar enters an adjacent territory, breaks through the guards and engages Golden Golems, which beat him:
"... Scouts reported to me that the swamp creatures invaded our territory but could not withstand the strike of the Dwarven Treasury guards. Excellent! Now the swamp beasts will no longer bother us! We will gather legions of hellish warriors and plunge the world into chaos..."
After this, the opponent chose not to continue the game and surrendered.

leosnow, thanks for the game! Too bad it ended so quickly...

I confirm. For resets we chose 2 at 111, there was still one left, I wanted to take it, but the external Wyvern dwelling under the town taken on day 1 did its job. Broke on money, 4 heroes for about five days. The captured Conflux territory is practically empty, except for wood behind many Wyvern Monks. I spotted the running opponent. On the second week at 123 after buying the Wyverns I moved toward the Griffin Conservatory, on the way I was heavily mauled by many Harpy Hags (I played the battle terribly, one wrong move at the start left me without Gnolls and I lost 3 Wasps) and many Rogues cut me up considerably. I don't know what I was hoping for, and instead of the group of Storm Elementals guarding the Griffin Conservatory I attack many Golden Golems, 5 golems and two Wyverns remained, the second with 1 HP, I decide not to retreat (for some reason I was lucky with "many" the whole game, it wasn't just many, but very many, nearly all neutrals had stacks around 45. Post-game analysis showed it was the right decision, time was working for him and I would have just wasted his time... Maybe I should have restarted at the beginning of week 1, or at the beginning of week 2 run to the far corner for Conflux, past many Water Elementals onto the mud, but I didn't have money to buy heroes, let alone for splitting, and I also needed someone to place in the chain.
Thanks to my opponent for the game. Good luck in the future.
As for my own play, I am not satisfied except for the first two days, taking the external Wyvern dwelling, and the move to the secondary. We will train! :smile17:
