Not a single Hive on a huge respawn covering nearly a third of the map (one Griffin Conservatory-1 right near the house). Tazar leveled up as best he could, but was in no hurry to fight, as there was no army power at all. Even the Griffin Conservatory wasn't taken. Gradually, at a distance of 3-4 days from the starting town, dwellings began to be discovered. The striking stacks were maturing from basilisks (two external dwellings) and lizardmen (two external dwellings). At home, 1-6 is built with a Castle; instead of a hydra, there's a Captain's quarters, because wood on the huge respawn was only found on day 115, and the nearest sawmill was blocked. From secondary towns, I could only take one – Castle. The second – Inferno – was very far away and blocked.
At the start of the second week, I gathered 4 consecutive Pandora's Boxes: 10k exp, 45 gr lizardmen, Water Magic, and 10k gold. And moved towards [ГО]. Taz's skillset is in order: Expert Earth, Tactics, Wisdom. Started leveling Offense, Air, Pathfinding. Only lacked Logistics.
On the way to [ГО], I snagged a tier-3 Dragon Utopia (gave up an angel, all the wasps and gnolls), the lizardmen and basilisks survived (didn't even take 6 ducks). Instantly +6 to all. Exited on day 125. [ГО] and the Guards in the center with the oils all fall without losses under the lizardmen and the basilisks' breath; almost immediately I take the Bracers, another box with 45 gr lizardmen (home center!), the Blue Cloak, Golden Bow, central town, Wings of Fortune. Based on the Tavern, army superiority and stats for Taz around 20-20-10-10, for the opponent 10-10-10-10.
At home, by the end of the 2nd week, Mage Guild level 4 in the village (Town Portal), hydras.
Was lacking spell books, Resurrection. Zec Clavius took one Dragon Utopia, and I was so impressed by the losses that I decided not to take more Dragon Utopias, but to move directly on the enemy. For some reason, I thought I was ahead. But Tazar should have cleared out all the Dragon Utopias until I found the Red Orb or the Cloak, or even the Black Orb.
133. 39 gr basilisks, 193 gr lizardmen. The rest is junk. Shakti showed up with the same stats he had – 10-10-10-10 – just put on something for spell power – it became 16. 5 Black Dragons. Armageddon and Implosion.
GG. Just great. :)
By the way, in an open field, the basilisks with Teleport would have pulled it off. They even managed to breathe once here – only one dragon survived. But Tazar didn't know how to cast Teleport over walls, which caused him to lose the first turn.
We are playing Jebus Cross with Ominous for the second time. For the second time, the one who was losing pulls through.
