We picked Random and started. I spawned underground, Shakti with two stacks, no external dwellings in sight, but a very convenient road network. On the third day, Shakti breaks through to the surface, there's a stable right away, and a brown Conflux flag is already visible. While I was putting the brown player in his place, a purple player appeared, pointing the way to another Conflux, which also turned out to be nearby. So by the end of the week, we have a double Conflux. :)
On the second week I was busy looking for money, but since most of it was drunk away on the first week, the birds didn't come up, but there is a Psychic elemental external dwelling with a portal, the future looked pretty attractive, all that's left is to buy it all up.
The third week started with two Medusa hives, which allowed me to buy everything and clear two Griffin Conservatories 2+3. Then I gathered Dragon Fly Hives and chests: behind 101 elves it was empty (entire 3rd level), behind 20+ ducks 10k experience. 20+ medusas gave 80 gr. imps. Shakti is leveling perfectly, ready to rob Dragon Utopias, but they're nowhere to be seen. :( A screw-up on one of the days with construction prevented me from building birds in the second Castle. :smile35: A third Conflux was found - green, and also not far, but through a winding gut and at the end a block of 20+ Wyverns for an Ogre's Club.
Fourth week. Still no sign of blue... Scouting shows a party in the corner of the map. Maneuvers to expand territory. Shakti runs to another Griffin Conservatory and on the sixth day stumbles upon a Dragon Utopia!:smile03: Ignatius with 6 Phoenixes and a meatshield makes a desperate raid to break through the Wyverns for the club (lost 2 birds) and capture the third Conflux.:smile17: We are growing our meat.
Fifth week started with capturing the Dragon Utopia! Not maximum, Shakti bravely goes in without weekly growth – a tier three! I lose an Angel, they give a Chalice, a Collar of +3 all, Bracers.:smile44: Then two more Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Fly Hive. Then the timer ticked, I somehow thought 9 seconds were left (but actually it was a minute), frantically drop the shooters onto the noob and enter the Dragon Fly Hive with the noob... so on auto-combat he didn't lose a single Storm Elemental, didn't even have all the meat eaten (Dragon Fly Hive was a two-stacker), the noob got a Log...:smile40: Blue is somewhere nearby, Vidomina is visible in the tavern with impressive magic stats – I have a bad feeling. Blue captures the nearest village to them and makes a large-scale recon raid deep into the kingdom. I gather all my forces into a fist, and Shakti returns the village, puts on the Bracers and sits in defense. Vidomina attacks hoping to kill everyone with Implosion, but there isn't enough meat there – GG.
Thanks for the game!
Well, when it's not going, it's not going - unpleasant losses plagued me literally from the second week. A recovered scroll of Implosion helped even things out - now I have something to take Dragon Utopias with (Mage Guild 5 is on the way). But even that didn't come without losing an Angel (. Ah well. They gave Wings, money for Archangels, and Vidomina with 2 Dimension Doors slowly gets rolling.
I kill the Castle-Comp (the only one), build Angels there and make sure the opponent doesn't get it. Life seems to be improving, but... after 5(!) Dragon Utopias Vidomina's Attack/Defense is 9/13. This is epic (but they gave 2 red orbs and other junk). In short, it was pointless to attack Shakti in the Castle (I could have just hoarded resources, there was no sign of control from the opponent, nor any serious Conflux construction), but even in the finale I could have pulled it off, if I hadn't done stupid things like defending with Archangels in the first round due to a misclick :).
Thanks for the game!
