Group D Glhf (Blue, Orc, Jabarkas, Valeska) def Player_ (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Sir Mullich) 2sm4d(3) 125 slow roads.
We took 3 resp together on 111.
111. Jabarkas arrives with 4 orcs. In the tavern, 2 native heroes: Gretchin (20+ goblins) and Deesa (+4 orcs). I build orcs. 5 heroes.
112. I see a prison behind dwarves (near the horde). In the prison is Valya level 5, expert leadership, expert archery. Two dwarf dwellings are revealed on the resp. I build wolves.
113. I take an observatory deeper in the resp. I see an external dwelling of birds, a prison behind demons, a roadless passage to a grassy secondary (guarded by a group of dendroid soldiers). Also an exit into a portal behind a crowd of evil eyes. On the other side, a passage to the snows behind a crowd of dendroids.
114. I take the prison. Alagar level 1. I plan next turn to take the bird external dwelling with Jabarkas level 3.
115. I take the bird external dwelling, transfer the troops through chains to Valeska to break through the crowd of dendroids into the snows. I break through the snow, take the observatory—I see a block-crowd of upgraded ogres (behind an artifact of +3 morale +3 luck). I estimate there are about 50 of them and decide not to take them, instead going the other way. There's a prison nearby on the snows.
116. I take the prison—Tourist level 1. I realize I'm stuck on building behemoths.
117. I finally abandon any thoughts of building behemoths in the first week. I build a guild. In the castle, I have 1-5 except ogres under the castle.
121. I take the dwarf dwelling, transfer birds for an upgrade, and set up chains to break through the green secondary via the roadless path.
122. I break through the green secondary and aim to go into the portal.
123. I take the human secondary. Next turn, I plan to take the dwarf dwelling and exit through the portal.
124. I take the dwarf dwelling. I break through the portal (30 evil eyes). On the other side, I see Shakti. I position myself on the other side of the portal with a speed boost of 15 upgraded birds.
125. I buy up all troops, break through the guard on the other side of the portal. I see Sir Mullich on angels—I attack—1 angel flees. To the left is the opponent's hero with an army; I attack—15 upgraded birds, 24 hobgoblins, 26 dogs, 25 orcs, and a few hobgoblins (Valeska, 5-5-4-2) vs 100+ upgraded troglodytes, 7 minotaurs, 8 eyes, and some miscellaneous units. I kill the troglodytes, kill the minotaurs; the opponent writes GG.
Thanks for the game!
Confirmed
Over 2 weeks in the game, I scouted only one Griffin Conservatory and that's it. A couple of crypts at the home base don't count. The passages to two secondaries were guarded by 20 sharpshooters and 20 mages. With expert tactics and manticores, I could have pushed through without issue, but unfortunately I had no place to level my hero on the resp. I barely managed to get to the third secondary via the roadless path, where I found the Griffin Conservatory on turn 123, after which I died peacefully.
Thanks for the game.
