We prayed and off we go.
Week 1:
two roads, one leads to a double Dragon Utopia (DU) with 50-99 dragons and 1-4 fairy dragons, with an exit to lava nearby for 10-19 crosses and 10-19 goats in shirts, no free elves came my way, so I don't particularly show off against anyone, a bit northwest, behind the forest, a Griffin Conservatory is visible, money is so-so, from caches only 2 dwarves, which I took, and 1 pegasus + chest +3, 2 piles of resources for 10-19 efreets.
the second road led to the underground, where I took a secondary Inferno - there was nothing special there, except that right by the underground there was an exit to an underground guard zone for 50-99 gr. dwarves, next to them 20-49 dragons for a box.
By the end of the week, scout heroes, clearing all visible gold, found another Griffin Conservatory near the first one, which they checked - a Throne without a gr. stack, and right next to it an exit to a grass adjacent zone.
Kyrre leveled up poorly in week 1 - I didn't take Water and had to, took Intelligence, but with 70 mana and a chest +2 power, her spell power became = 6;
at home, cavalry in the Castle.
Week 2:
I take Kyrre home for the Griffin Conservatories, scouts pick up all the goods they see to buy.
Kyrre reaches the Griffin Conservatory she first saw back on day 111 on the opponent's turn, I camp at it, Coronius brings Mama 16 dwarves and Bless;
Griffin Conservatory number 3 went fine with a loss of 5 wood and a bit over a dozen dwarves, I immediately run to the second Griffin Conservatory - number 2, the loot is transferred to a scout hero - Gretchin, who clears the gr. pegasi for passage into the grass zone, where a Naga Bank, Well, and Arena are flagged.
Kyrre takes the Naga Bank, visits the Well and Arena, Gretchin scouts further territory - spots a Griffin Conservatory and "over the hills and far away" sees a red Rampart - wonderful - I need to visit the reds.
Gretchin attacks the Griffin Conservatory - disappointing, minimum roll, even though he was already quite well-leveled, Kyrre runs north and stops on the road;
I don't go to the reds' town, because I don't know what's there and, for sure, the main hero is already sitting at home behind walls, since my movements are visible - on the way to the road, Kyrre killed a red scout hero. So I run to take an empty Rampart - along the road I see that very close to the road there is an exit to a guard zone on rocky terrain - there are 50-99 pits for resources, a Dispel scroll, and a +1 speed ring. Kyrre takes the Rampart, discovering a cache of elves, Centaurs, and unicorns along the way - all under a red flag, but that's no trouble. We camp in the Rampart.
We collect all the caches with Kyrre, because the scout heroes simply can't keep up with her - we take 2 unrecruited cavalry from a cache, see a dug underground passage - we enter it - see a red scout hero there, camp in the underground to block the exit.
We build chains for transporting growth, Kyrre stands in front of the guard zone - red dragon is banned, so we're not particularly scared.
Week 3:
transport of loot from both Ramparts, as much as money allows with full trade, Pegasi in armor finally reach Mama. We break the pits, Gretchin with Passfarts runs to scout the guard zone - flagged are 100-249 ogres for a Spyglass, 50-99 rocs for +2 to hit points and a Dragon Fly Hive.
The next day I eat all of this, but lose an Angel on the rocs, because a gr. stack of 19 of them hit the Angels + a Lightning Bolt for 190 damage. Right nearby in the guard zone, reds appear, Gretchin killed Sraker but was forced to die a hero's death at the hands of Cuthbert with 6+6 gogs, because earlier I had to ransom Coronius with part of the army, so to avoid overwriting him, I had to sacrifice Gretchin.
Torgrim helps Kyrre scout the guard zone, but due to the terrain penalty, it doesn't happen too quickly.
On day 134 I missed the opponent's turn, then I see Valeska standing where Cuthbert was, and in the tavern, Cuthbert is shown as the strongest with increased parameters - the conclusion is clear - the loot and artifacts are on Cuthbert, who is eating something in the guard zone - I run after him.
I discover Cuthbert, having just taken a Griffin Conservatory, nearby the edge of another one for 50-99 gr. eyes and a Dragon Fly Hive for 50-99 storms is visible - unfortunately, due to the terrain penalty, I don't have time to take either that or the other, nor to attack Cuthbert - he has 5-9 Angels, 10-19 dragons, 5-9 cavalry, 20-49 marksmen, 5-9 Grands, and some small fry, combat stats around 10 each, roughly like mine, but in magic he's a wreck, Knowledge 8, and KS =1, especially considering that Cuthbert killed Grechka with 2 stacks of 6 gogs each - there's a very high chance he was just hired or from a prison, meaning he might not have a spell book, which greatly and very much strengthens my position.
Next turn, unexpectedly for me, Cuthbert takes both the Griffin Conservatory and the Dragon Fly Hive (unexpected because the distance was considerable), and I thought that 50-99 storms and 50-99 gr. eyes and the flies in the hive should have seriously mauled the marksmen, but on my turn the same 20-49 marksmen are visible, and well, what pleased me was again 5-9 Angels, but what slightly upset me was 20-49 dragons.
Kyrre is 2k experience short for a level-up - there's a chance to get Expert Water, I attack 50-99 royal griffins - there are only 50 of them - disappointing. There's nothing else to do - Kyrre can't reach anything except Cuthbert, especially since at the very top for 20-49 efreet sultans there's a Shield +4 to All - I can't give that up, so I attack
Kyrre - 10 13 7 6(90) - 5 Angels, 14 dwarves, 6 dragons, 50 gr. Centaurs, 51 Grands, 1+2 gr. Pegasi
Cuthbert - 11 13 1 8(30) - 6 Angels, 20 dragons, 25+1+1 marksmen, 7 Grands, 6 cavalry
In tactics, I block the Grands, after a few waits I cast Slow on the Angels, the Grands kill the marksmen in 2 volleys, the reds all march forward, but the Grands under Haste act even before the reds' Angels, so they shoot them all down. GG.
1-0
Thanks for the game!
