We picked all the restarts and started double on double. Though I only got my Castle Hero on the 3rd week :) There seems to be money at the respawn, moreover 2 Dragon Utopias at respawn :) I'm slowly building up, rushing Crag Hack along the road.
And then surprises started pouring in one after another. 1 passage to the center was generated through a 1-way portal, and the 2nd passage through a normal portal is blocked by Grandmasters, also cutting me off from the enemy hero. I have absolutely nothing to kill the Grandmasters with, so I Recall at home on day 115 and go to clear various chests, on day 117 I upgrade horses in the Citadel, stand Crag Hack again at the split, and Caitlin at the level-2 Griffin Conservatory.
Day 121: No external stables, so I upgrade the horses and pass everything down the chain to Caitlin, she takes a Pandora's Box for 5k gold and stands at the break point at the Griffin Conservatory. Crag approached a Pandora's Box at respawn for 50+ Ice Demons. Day 122, with the loss of a horse and a bit of meat, I get +2 Angels and Crag sacrifices the remaining 4 horses on 90 Ice Demons. They give 10k XP, with the existing artillery I take Air, Wisdom, Earth, Defense. Then Crag rushes as fast as he can on 2 Angels to kill the enemy hero, and the rest of the meat returns to the vast respawn to earn money. At the enemy's respawn I find a Conservatory 2-4, the road is extremely long and blocked by 20+ Wizards at an external dwelling of horses :( Not losing heart, I turn Crag back on foot to the Conservatory, break the bug in it - 2nd level. +2 Angels with the loss of everything except 22 Archers, the Wizards fall, Crag runs further, and the road never ends :) I see another Conservatory 2-4, I don't go in with naked Angels. On day 127 I just barely fail to reach the castle, at home I build Angels in the Citadel, and that's where we saved.
Day 131: I completely messed up my plans after the save and botched the 1st turn completely - I lost an Angel to Naga Guards, then another one in a level-2 Conservatory, and wasted all the meat bought at the enemy's castle. In the end I was left with the same 4 naked Angels, and I didn't even have enough money to buy back Crag at home, a very harsh -morale penalty. But I seemed to recover, built a chain to home on day 132, sent Crag on an Angel to the Dragon Utopia at respawn, the army went to finish off another level-1 Conservatory at home. In the end I have 7 Angels, 6 horses, and everything else dies on the 1st attempt in the Dragon Utopia, Dragon Utopia level 3, I don't dare go in, Recall home and run to the 2nd Dragon Utopia at respawn. I reach it on day 135 - it's a small one :smile20: Barely scraping by, I take level 2, giving away absolutely everything except the Angels and 1 Swordsman, but they give royally - +5 All, DD, Orb of Air. I immediately Recall home to refill 140 mana for Expert Air with Dimension Door from a book. Day 136: Crag takes the Max Cyclops-dwelling, I make Archers and jump to the 2nd Dragon Utopia, the rest of the army pulls the chain to the central village. Day 137 I take level 3 - Red Orb, Gold Watch, Wings :smile20: I have money to buy back, I boldly Recall to the center and with the Red Orb I run on Archers to kill the enemy heroes. At home I built a Castle.
Day 141: I take the Necro enemy hero, stretch towards the swamp. On the opponent's turn, Clavius runs out with 500 Skeletons and 2 Unicorns, breaks the chain and captures the village, passes everything to Inteus, and almost reaches the watchtower that reveals all my treasure zone. Day 142 I turn the army around, retake the village, send Crag there and massacre those Skeletons with Archers. Well, since I came, I jump into the treasure zone after a level-1 Dragon Utopia, which gave nothing except money and a pendant of +3+3 Luck and Morale :) Right next to it lies a Pandora's Box for 10+ Bears, looking suspiciously like all Earth Magic :D But I was wrong, it was all level 4 :) I ran around for a couple more days, pushed through the enemy's direction, took the swamp and the corner Conflux village. On day 145 I sent Brissa to take the opponent's corner Necro village in 2 Dimension Doors, and on day 146 I reach one of the opponent's Dungeons from there with Crag, and a surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!
