First week, good start, external dwelling of cats, Pandora's Box with 10k gold (probably as compensation for an absolutely moneyless respawn). But out of greed, I lose two cats, first one to snipers, and then another to goblins. I capture a Necropolis secondary town.
Second week: nothing to catch at the Necropolis secondary towns yet, very small and immediately a treasure zone, I run upward through a portal, there's a Castle secondary town, the respawn is also empty, 3 crypts, Sphere of Fire, that's all I managed to scavenge. At this time, I see the opponent exit not far from the Necropolis secondary town through a gate and run into the treasure zone, I start moving the miner to defense, the army there looks imposing, up to 10 Angels, and some appetite. Meanwhile, I have about 11 cats, Troglodytes, and assorted small units.
Third week: the opponent, apparently, gets defeated and returns the army along the chain, the encounter is postponed, I run into the central treasure zone, first up is a triple Dragon Utopia — can't take it without losses, and considering that the opponent is nearby all the time, every unit counts, so I only take the +5 shield and a Dragon Fly Hive with 6 Wyverns, and then Crag Hack shows up, though his army hasn't increased, except for 16 Wyverns. Crag Hack runs through the gate to my main, I bring Shakti back (has expert Armorer, Earth Magic), stats are almost even, I have slightly higher defense, and more than 7 spell power. With a boost, I have a shooter at 185. But a wild fail happens, the chain doesn't work out, as a result, 18 Medusas and 6 Evil Eyes don't reach Shakti, I have to attack hoping to cut down at least something, but I just waste this army to zero without killing anything of the opponent's. One consolation is that he has a second spell power, so there won't be strong shooters. I attack with Shakti, with 200 Troglodytes, 36 Evil Eyes, 6 Wyverns, 18 Manticores, 35 Harpies, some singles; his army is 2 stacks of 8 Wyverns each, 2 stacks of 7 Magma Elementals each, 6 Angels. Shakti has a Pendant of +1 Speed + Earth specialty, I cast Mass Slow, Crag Hack also has Mass Earth, but the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. Thanks for granting a humanitarian restart in the situation where Shakti had two stacks, and Lorelei in the tavern, and the only way out of the town.
