20.05.13 Toganash (Red, Inferno, Calh) def Vatya (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti) 2sm4d(3), 143
Respawn turned out not bad (I realized this on 112 when I saw Dragon Utopias and Dwarf Cottages with Medusa Cottages). Near the castle, behind a horde of grand elves, an orc's club and a frozen dragon's eye. This pleased me, because for Calh the 2lvl tactic was viable and with Efreeti I could break through them already in the first week (too bad they covered 1/3 of the respawn, where there were 2 external demon dwellings), especially since there was a level-1 Griffin Conservatory below, which I planned to take on the first. Papa had 36 Gogs and nearly 60 Imps. I broke through the secondary Rampart, took the external Dendroids, and decided to build Dendroids in the Rampart to make it easier to take the Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Utopias in the future, of which there were as many as 2 nearby on my respawn +1 in the Rampart.
I didn't scout the other road towards ГО or the second secondary, intending to send Moandor, hired from the tavern, there with a possible future Angel to cut skeletons, since there were many small guards in the form of a horde of Demons, hundreds of Imps, etc. But it all collapsed when I decided to run into the 30 Dwarf Cottage with a main stack using Calh before the Griffin Conservatory. The army had 36 Gogs, 56 Imps, 4 Demons, and singles. During the fight, I blundered twice at the most inopportune moments, when the Dwarves also got morale. In the end, I first sacrificed all the Demons to escape with the Gogs, tried to split with 4 Demons, until the Dwarves got morale again. In the end, 26 Gogs fought until the shots ran out and melee began. In the end, 19 Dwarves survived, Calh retreated. All plans collapsed, I lost about 3 days of tempo. On 121, after selling everything and buying 4 Efreeti, I take the Dwarf Cottage for 7500, upgrade Elves in the Rampart, pull all the meat from there, ultimately take the Griffin Conservatory and cut the Demons. Too bad I couldn't level Necro; I thought to give him Elves. I broke the external Efreeti dwelling for 11 horsemen of the main stack, took the level-4 Griffin Conservatory, already had 40+ Demons, could think about the Dragon Utopia in the 3rd week. On the 3rd, I decided not to rush until I accumulated nearly 80 Demons, broke the level-3 Dragon Utopia on 137. On 141, I took the 2nd Dragon Utopia, level 1. Neither gave anything. Not a single artifact for primary skills.
On 142, Opp runs to me through ГО with 8 Fairy Dragons and 30+ Firebirds, giving himself a good beating. In the 3rd Dragon Utopia, again nothing but the Book of Air, but my stats are higher than Opp's; I gave him the castle, having first moved everything out. In the end, on 143 I catch him on the road with a superior army of 5 Angels, 19 Efreeti, 100+ Demons.
Thanks for the game.
On 121, I cleared both secondaries (nothing but the Griffin Conservatory was there) and the question arose: where to go? There was enough gold for a full buyout and upgrade of Cats. There was an option to go at Opp or head into the treasure zone. I chose the latter, which I later regretted bitterly and repeatedly, because the treasure zone turned out to be rotten... Only 3 mini-riddles. There was also a Dragon Utopia there, but nothing to take it with in the second week (it later turned out to be a max one with insignificant artifacts).
On the third week, after a full buyout, I decide to clear the next treasure zone, which turned out to be more than completely underwhelming. I only got 1 Pandora's Box for 10k gold (of which I already had 25-30k). In the end, I wasted 2 weeks for 18 Wyverns :smile51: Nowhere left to go, so I charged through ГО toward Opp. ГО damaged me significantly, but I had no chance even without that. From artifacts, only gloves on 142. NOTHING for stats from 2 treasure zones!!!!!!
In the final, I cast Mass Slow on Opp hoping for 2 stacks of shooters, but in response comes Mass Haste and gg.
