09.06.13 Juristis (blue, random, Rampart, Mephala, Ellesar) def MuLLIyTa (red, random, Castle, Sir Mullich, Ciele), Skirmish 200%, 136
Heavy first week, got 2 native heroes, but no elves, and not many centaurs either. 5 treasure chests only gave 4.5k gold, so I spent the whole week running around with 4 heroes. Upgraded the centaurs, took the Necro secondary hero and all mines except the gold ones. At home, 1-3 in the Citadel. Ellesar with Earth magic.
121 - again 2 native heroes arrive, this time one of them with 6 elves. Mephala broke the minimal Dwarf Cottage, Ellesar the gold mine.
122 - via the view spell, I had already spotted one of the treasure zones and the opponent’s Necro secondary hero back in week 1. The treasure zone was Inferno along the road, but the interesting thing in it was 2 hives for Efreeti and Greater Birds, plus a quest artifact for 100+ Magogs. Decided that I couldn’t clear something like that yet and went off-road. Broke through a horde of Vampires for a portal, and on the other side there were red flags and a Tower town was visible. Fortunately, on the other side the guard was 50-99 Fire Elementals. Decided to keep going, meeting Ciele right at the start clearly did not bode well.
123 - broke through 24 Greater Demons for an off-road exit into the third treasure zone.
Then I cleared this treasury (turned out to be a swamp one). Took a Pandora’s box with 60 Lizardmen and a hive with 6 Wyverns behind a hundred Orcs. On 125 or 126, Ciele broke through the Fire Elementals and ran to my secondary hero. I decided to ignore her and continued clearing the treasure zone.
131 - managed to take the growth out from under Ciele’s nose from the main town and transport it into the treasure zone via the road. While the Elementalist was taking my towns, I finished clearing the swamp treasure zone (in addition to the 60 regular Lizardmen, I took another 3 Pandora’s boxes with 45 Greater each, a hive with 6 Wyverns, an external Wyvern dwelling, and 60 Greater Gnolls). Then, with spoons and losses, I broke through to meet my own growth and defeated Ellesar in the Inferno treasure zone.
On 135, Ciele showed up there as well. I took 2 mini-hives and sat down to refill mana in the town. On my turn, the red player attacked, got hit in the face with Oil and a volley of Grand Elves with Lizardmen, after which the stack of Marksmen was gone. GG, thanks for the game!
