We started without rests, got lucky right away, in the tavern Gunnar and Grendain, everyone including Shak with 3 stacks, and a 4th hero with another +350, Ain. Under the town a Troglodyte dwelling and a sword 2-2 behind the Magogs, took it immediately.
First week I broke through to the brown player, but was stopped by a block of 50+ Elves behind a Dragon Fly Hive. Besides that, I scouted 2 more Dragon Fly Hives, but all had tough guards. Took a Dwarf Cottage 20, ran around the arenas, captured the Shackles, Shakti 9-9, with Defense and Earth magic. Built 1-4 in the Citadel with mushrooms, +1000. Lost a few units, 7 Eyes and some Troglodytes.
On the second week I started gradually clearing the goodies. Took a while to level up Shakti's Earth magic and buy the spell book, which cost me a couple of turns of tempo. Used Grendain to take the Cape of +2 Speed (-27 Troglodytes), then Shak with Slow killed 42 Greater Basilisks for the Sandals of the Saint and a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns. Scouted the Air spell book behind 20+ Sultans, but was afraid to attack immediately. Then I broke through the Elves, a Dragon Fly Hive with 4 Wyverns, killed the brown player with Mirlanda, and then a meeting with Tanya on 127, she shaved my scout hero.
I was choosing between the Air spell book and the opponent, decided Scorpiona would be more interesting, and went to visit her. Killed a few scout heroes, on 131 brought reinforcements and took a Stronghold village and a Castle with a Fort (apparently a computer one). On the next turn Tanya loses a small squad of Marksmen and Pikemen against my Grendain with 3 Medusas and surrenders. Thanks for the game!
