17.05.13 KobRa (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def ~no1_knows_me~ (red, Conflux, rdm, Ignissa, Monere) on sm at 133

3 hours wasted restarting, already starting to feel sick, because under current rules, a restart on encounter can be done almost every game if desired (Alex and Redwhite in Odessa spent 7 hours "having fun" that way :D )
Finally started, right under the castle an external dwelling of Evil Eyes!! though only 60 Troglodytes and with Lorelei 5 Harpies, but nothing, we play, no restarts after all..but no money either. AT ALL. Took 2 castles on first week, one native, the other Conflux. Ideal leveling, though Monere is better overall. Built 1-4 in main + portal, in secondary 1-3, also took an external dwelling of Medusas, + almost reached a second external dwelling of Evil Eyes. Built the portal with the Dwarf dwelling taken on day 15. No more available money buildings, crypts don't generate in the Underground in SOD. On second week traded everything again from 3 marketplaces, broke through up into the snow, and right into my treasure zone. Took 2 Wyvern dwellings there on day 16! 6 Wyverns in total, have Griffin Conservatory, but behind Fairies, so basically don't have it. Turned around and ran towards the other treasure zone. Not much better there, another +12 Wyverns and 1 Angel. Meanwhile, my main gets taken on 131 - not a redraw I think, because all the growth perished on GO) And then they start chasing me, in 2 turns into the final castle, where Angelic Alliance and Cloak +2, picked up exactly one turn earlier, decided the outcome. Thanks for the game! Rushed due to time constraints, but interesting.

That was a thing.

didn't play for a month, and skill is dropping...

Got wrecked completely, also had a restart on encounter at 115...
In the end, it turned out okay...
Week 1: In the tavern two natives, have Monere and Ciele :rolleyes: Take crypts, at the respawn you can see Dragon Fly Hive and Griffin Conservatory, passage to the snow blocked by 50+ marks, don't feel like messing with them, run the other way. There, 3 more crypts, painted external dwellings of Air and Fish, broke through to the Dungeon secondary, where another Griffin Conservatory is visible (3-4 like the home one) and two Dragon Utopias, Monere at 117 just beat 2 treasure chests from Gnolls and the birds were exactly enough for gold :smile13:
Week 2: "Astrologers declared the week of losses" Monere took a minimal Naga bracelet and with 4 birds, 4 Zealots, 40+ Air Elementals and a singleton went at 50-99 Vampires for a box (was somehow sure there were 60 of them...) 90+ Vampires with Haste :smile51: autobattle says "say goodbye"... 0 mana, a bloody melee for 5 minutes and Monya comes out with 2 birds and 25 Air :( in the box 15k experience - whatever they stuffed into Monica, Mysticism, and Learning, and Navigation... just WTF... ended up with Experience for Air, Wisdom, Artillery, Logistics, and Offense... rushed home to drink mana from the well and also shake the Wyvern tree. It's max, well that's more fun +12 Wyverns. Run to the second tree, beat the guard, but could only get in with the weak hero => autobattle offered to lose 15 Air, I refused and lost 2 remaining birds :smile22: they targeted only them every round... sad... Then the situation got better, Monya with Boots of Speed took the Griffin Conservatory without issue +3 Angels, near home the third Griffin Conservatory to take either with Grindey or Ciele with stats 0-0, I felt sorry for my zoo, so I recalled Monere home and he again without issue took the Griffin Conservatory another +3 Angels, also picked up Ballistics :smile04: . Meanwhile, fought with weak heroes a bit, opened the Observatory, blues are jumping from portal to portal. At the end of the week came a choice: try to pop a GO in the underground from 20-49 Bone Dragons and a surprise from the other side, or look for a mini Dragon Utopia among the two near the Dungeon. Time was late, wanted to finish quickly, so chose GO :smile11:
Week 3: 6 Angels, 24 Wyverns, 4 birds 15 Air Elementals and Fairies with Haste and Bless beat 35 Dragons with loss of Air. On the other side 20-49 Green Dragons, go at them with Fish for feeding, but Haste went straight on the birds :( in the end they minus'd me 3 birds and 6 Wyverns, the bastards didn't want to bite the feeding, guess they don't like Fish. Rush the blues and enter an almost empty castle, having previously left the weak hero 1 bird from growth, so there wouldn't be a red-rush :) Anyway started taking blue castles, saw Shakti crawl into the underground into a treasure zone, chasing him on his heels - dangerous, stats almost equal, army strength blue, but don't want to drag it out. And so I catch up to Shakti, but Golden Bow, +2 speed, and terrain that allowed sealing off 44 Evil Eyes and 20 Wyverns, decided the outcome...
thanks for the game, good luck further!!!
