Well, we finally slogged through this long-suffering game—"slogged" is exactly the word, I can't think of another. First, one opponent unexpectedly vanished and reappeared only after some time, then a second one faded into oblivion, and for the last 3 turns (almost 4 hours), his timer just ticked away while the heroes stood still:smile04: :smile20:
Regarding the game—we took a rest and went for it. I have a decent respawn with 4 convenient hives, 1 confluence, 1 Dragon Utopia, but of the external dwellings only horses + stable, and money is tight—I decide to play through them. A few moves from the Castle, my partner's only road is blocked by grey geese, but on the plus side, they are guarding a Teapot:smile12:. Above there is a bird external dwelling, 2 confluences, 1 hive, 2 Dragon Utopias + an external market, which was very helpful:)
In the end, on turn 1 I have horses in the citadel, took a mini-hive and horse external dwelling; the Trong confluence wasn't useful. Clavius is standing before another 2 hives, but most importantly, the Town Portal scroll was captured. Both of us have earth magic, so from 115 in the secondary Tower, the Mage Guild is urgently being built;) . The greens have bears in the castle, took confluence 1; Kreg is preparing to hit ducks for the teapot on 121.
At the start of the second [week], GM4 is finished. I cleared the hives—only 28 ducks total, confluence 2, Town Portal to my partner, and we started taking Dragon Utopias. 2 were purely Sodovian—captain's hat, resistance necklace, a couple of cloaks, bags of gold, and other junk, but in the 3rd we got КВ and КЗ:smile20:
On 125 I hit my ГО; the castle is right under it. I send in the fools and see that the opponents are still just sitting on their respawns. Roma Town Portals there, takes the army and artifacts, takes another castle in the treasure zone and stays there. On 126 I plan to Town Portal there and go hit the swamp, luckily ГО is nearby. My partner hits the reds on his turn, but then Albertti asked to save for 5 min (he wanted to switch to another PC); we saved and waited long and unsuccessfully for leosnow to enter the game, but he never did. As it turned out, he hadn't been at his computer since 122, and brown was simply killing the timer:smile51:
Since this isn't the first time we've lost a huge amount of time because of opponents, they admitted defeat; moreover, a later reveal showed that neither had anything to oppose us with. An army of ducks, grey bears, archangels + implanter at 1700 left no chance even if they had somehow managed to unite by some miracle:rolleyes:
Thanks for the game and don't do this again:smile29: :D
