Epic game! Starting with 70 Centaurs, I thought things looked good. Opened the overview and see mountains on my native resp... lots of mountains that cut off a big chunk of the resp. Okay, I think I'll break through to a secondary town and with such a starting army I'll get rolling. I immediately take a barbarian secondary town, and there... just the Cordilleras )) On both resps, sawmills are cut off, unreachable, and there is a complete lack of road network. The first week was spent searching for and securing resources; I miraculously built upgrades in the Citadel.
In the second week I broke through the mountain pass guards, sent scout heroes there to gather resources. I broke into the treasure zone, but right there a stack of Efreet is guarding the Griffin Conservatory and won't let me through. Very little gold, never built the Castle.
In the third week I clear out a huge and poor treasure zone. Only 16 Dragons and 3 Angels. On the secondary hero I spot a Griffin Conservatory (level 1) and a Dragon Fly Hive. Opponent has a double secondary town. Sad.
In the fourth week I cleaned up the resp with a secondary hero: Sword +2 all, Shield +6, Dragon Fly Hive. Checked the Dragon Utopia, turned out to be level 4. With 22 Dragons, 12 upgraded units, 3 Angels, and a small army stack I didn't dare attack. Prepared to take it with reinforcements.
In the fifth week I immediately take the Dragon Utopia, got a Necklace +3 all, Shield +4 all, and Wings. Big advantage in stats, especially magic. Running around gathering resources for a level 5 Mage Guild, and on the 7th day I go on a rush visit, hoping to take the capital. Far away, didn't make it. In the Mage Guild, the only interesting spell is Meteor Shower. Opponent meanwhile is rustling around in the treasure zone and his combat stats are catching up.
Then I took the capital and caught a scout hero who was trying to run off with the growth, and a positional war began on the Opponent's resp. Found a booster for Earth magic)) Took the opponent's underground secondary town. There were many feints; in the end I approached the last Castle of the reds just to hunt scout heroes. I killed a couple and see a big army in the Castle. Also a scout hero is stationed in the Castle; I thought Tazar was in the garrison, so I'll kill this scout hero and run back. Was afraid to storm the Castle. But as it turned out, this scout hero was stationed in the Castle on the rush with the main army. Tazar simply didn't make it in time )) Unexpected FB:
Kyrre 17-22-15-15(230): 22 gr Dragons, 21 upgraded units, 41 gr Basilisks, 3 Angels, 81 gr Elves, 31 ser Pegasi and Serpents.
Adjutant 6-4-4-1 (10): 67 gr Dragons, 13 Hydras, 31 gr Gorgons, 14 Gorgons, 100 Lizardmen, 21 gr Basilisks and Serpents.
Opponent, in the second round, having grouped around the Lizardmen and taken a Meteor Shower for 712, wrote gg.
Thanks for the game!
I confirm=) it turned out to be an interesting game. I had half the map as native Swamp, 2 native Castles. I thought that was pretty good. I developed quite well, had a lot of troops in both towns, but unfortunately I didn't see a Dragon Utopia, so I had no gold to buy back the armies. In the end, when the opponent ran over and captured my capital, our forces were roughly equal. But what decided everything was that he had Angel Wings, plus Kyrre who could move very far, so in the positional war he slowly started to win. When I decided to defend my secondary town, the opponent unexpectedly left, and I rushed with Tazar into the treasure zone to clear Dragon Fly Hives and gain an advantage. But he unexpectedly returned, and with Tazar I couldn't make it back in time to defend the town. Everything was decided in 1 turn: I transferred the whole army into the town to a scout hero, and arranged it so the opponent would think Tazar was in the town and wouldn't attack, but he decided to attack anyway, but he killed the scout hero no questions asked. But Tazar he might not have been able to kill) roughly an even game, where unfortunately everything was decided by the Angel Wings.
