First week - from the Castle there are many paths, even more than needed for sm. GO on rough terrain. It's clear that one of the passages leads to the opponent (and so it was, Kyrre from his Castle to my Castle, through the gates it's one turn's run). The opponent also had an external dwelling of Elves, as it turned out later. I quickly break through a secondary - native Dungeon, nothing interesting around, I defeat Shakti, run to the other side - another secondary Rampart.
Second week, I find a Griffin Conservatory, on Rampart territory. I plan to take it, I have +4 chain, +5 shield +1+1+1+1 armor. Shakti has Advanced Earth. I have 160 Troglodytes, 21 Evil Eyes, 5 cats, Harpies. But then Kyrre pops out - I realize I won't make it back to the Castle, I decide to take the Griffin Conservatory, then recapture the main. Kyrre kills the scout hero guarding the Castle without problems and uses the Dungeon's benefits - whirlpool, built GM2, clears my respawn and immediately returns to the Castle. Meanwhile, the Griffin Conservatory breaks, it's a max roll with Archangels, no options, I have to fight. 15 minutes of struggle with the winged ones and their lack of morale bring 4 Angels, with the loss of 60 Troglodytes, 2 cats, all Evil Eyes, all Harpies. Plus the scout hero brings news that in another part of the Rampart's respawn, there is another Griffin Conservatory, I have to choose, either try to break through home by the end of the week, but there seems to be no army and Kyrre has settled there tightly, or run to take that Griffin Conservatory, especially since Shakti has leveled Earth. I choose the second option, the Griffin Conservatory unfortunately is a min roll. So I spit on my Castle and run underground to the treasure zone.
Third week, the treasure zone is very stingy with meat - only 10 ducks, but there is a Book of Earth - there it is! Having fully run through this treasure zone, I run to the opponent's respawn, there's another Griffin Conservatory - again a min roll. I manage to eat the Library, already in another treasure zone, and fly home to refill mana. While Shakti was running through the treasure zone, a fierce struggle for the main was underway, mage heroes scout heroes stormed the home Castle, but the Stryker resisted practically everything with his 5% :). In the end, I still manage to reclaim the Castle on 136. Kyrre at this time somewhere in another treasure zone, judging by air viewing.
Fourth week, I see Kyrre returning home, his army hasn't increased, nor his stats. Kyrre settles in the Castle, I bring Shakti into range, firstly to block the underground gates for Kyrre so he can't reclaim the main again, and secondly to attack myself. Kyrre doesn't run anywhere from the Castle. Then a plan is born, to attack with single Angels, blow up a couple of stacks and buyback, and then finish off. But the assault on the Castle went so briskly that 6 Angels, combined with implosion and resurrection, kill Kyrre right in the Castle, with all the meat.
Thanks for the interesting game.
The spawn seemed not bad at first glance, though Sir Ufretin spoiled the start, the external dwelling of Elves behind the capes visible a couple of crypts. But further it turned out more interesting. I took the external dwelling of Elves with the loss of one Elf. Then I took a Dungeon secondary, on the breakthrough I left all the meat, which was not much anyway, and one Elf. As a result, I ended up sitting in the Dungeon with only Grand Elves. Then a small cleanup of the respawn, since the road to the other side was blocked for now. On the first week I built uniques in the Citadel, Elves in the Dungeon.
On the second week two Dwarf Cottages, I broke through to the blocked side, discovered that GO is on rough terrain. Since I didn't see anything promising, I decided to go for a rush. I captured the opponent's capital, but didn't finish them off, since Kyrre has almost zero stats, Shakti's stats were already looking not bad. After game analysis, together with the opponent we came to the conclusion that of course my only chance was to try to finish them off. But in the game you think differently than after the game )). As a result, I idled in the opponent's capital with Kyrre for a couple of days, until the end of the third week, while Shakti in the meantime successfully took a max Griffin Conservatory on the grass with Bless.
On the third week I don't really know what to do, since there are no Hive Conservatories at all. Over three respawns, I didn't find the exit to the treasure zone from the Dungeon, from Conflux there is a teleport. Kyrre broke through home and rushed into the teleport, it turned out to be Sand, Sand is not an option, zero stats, not a single artifact for parameters the whole game )). As a result, I somehow found an exit to the basement in the corner of Conflux, broke through there, and there the treasure zone was nothing special and a winding passage a couple of days of idle time. Meanwhile, a well-fed Shakti is already moving towards me by the end of the third week. I decide to break through home, even though completely naked, but at least not to give away the growth (which might also have been pointless). After the breakthrough, I partially bought units and sit at home, absolutely nothing else to do. Shakti in the treasure zone successfully, as it turned out later, took the Book of Earth from behind the Minotaurs, which easily allowed killing Kyrre in the Castle with 7 Angels ), with implosions and resurrection.
The generator disappointed a bit of course, but I'm also partly to blame, well, and the opponent played quite well, albeit not without luck )
Thanks for the game and good luck in future battles !!!!!!
