A difficult game. Slow roads, respawn is okay, there is some free stuff, a couple of crypts, a couple of external dwellings - lizards for 20+ elves and basilisks for fakes, 2 roads to secondary towns, one of which is native. Everything was going hard, but in the end the game worked out.
Week 1: 6 heroes, took the external dwellings at the respawn, there were many losses and money was tight. By the end of the week, Tazar level 4 with Air Magic and Pathfinding. Also, Jeddite helped a lot with the archery from the magic hero. Army by day 117 - 18 upgraded lizards and 4 basilisks (ducks not recruited at home). At home, basilisks and ducks in the Citadel plus a thousand gold.
Week 2: took the native secondary town, Bron came, Tazar visited a couple of Arenas, got Offense, 7 heroes, I break into the treasure zone, send out scouts. By the end of the week, the town is upgraded at home, in the secondary town ducks have a Fort, Taz level 7.
Week 3: on day 131 I take the secondary Dungeon in the underground. On day 133 I enter the native treasure zone in the swamp. Very little army due to losses and a complete lack of Dragon Fly Hives and Conservatories. Need to find something to hold onto - just then a hundred Golems drop for the Library. I get level 10 from them and visit the Library - it's a bit easier now. The treasure zone is simply mega-generous! If I had the army, I'd vacuum it in a couple of days, but the army is too small, so I have to carefully clear it out. Killed creatures for the Cape +2. Gigants for the Sword +2+2 and Shield +5. Psychos for the Wyvern external dwelling. Recaptured a couple of quest artifacts. 4 Dragon Utopias are revealed! I prepare to take them in week 4. Checked three Dragon Utopias - all tier 3. By the end of the week Taz level 14, got Wisdom and Tactics.
Week 4: with difficulty, carefully I start taking Dragon Utopias. By the middle of the week I collect Dragon Utopias + the Amulet +3 Morale and Luck. Gives Sword +5 All, Hat +12, Coat +4+4, Shield +12, Hat 5 level, Teapot. Also took one Wyvern external dwelling and one Hydra dwelling. Put the Hydras in the town. Then into the scouted treasure zone - there are Boots, Flask +2 HP (also bought Ring +1 HP in the shop in the Dungeon), a Red Ball, and the only Dragon Fly Hive in the game, and it's the smallest one). By the end of the week Taz level 21, got Archery and First Aid.
Week 5: buy everything, upgrade everything and run to the treasure zone towards the opponent. Along the way I take another Ring +1 HP. On day 213, the final battle in the treasure zone. Stats are roughly equal, but Tazar is still fiercer and has an advantage in meat shields. As a result, bRitvo4kA kills my stack of Serpents, a few Gnolls and Basilisks. I take out 23 War Unicorns, 5 Angels, 5 Ducks, and Orcs with Ogres. A surrender follows. I have a full stack of 44 Monarchs, 6 Chaos Hydras, 100+ Lizards, plus a fierce growth. There are 45 Ducks and a couple of Bears left. We postpone, and then the concession comes.
Thank you for the game!
