Tournament NP vs LM.
07.07.13. numOne (red, Tower, Aen, Clavius) def Rockmachine (blue, Barb, Crag Hack, Crag Hack), 2sm4d(3), 142
Normal spawns along the roads, but first ran into a sniper block right next to the Conflux secondary, then broke through in another direction with 35 stacks of flies into the underground with the loss of all the cover and 10 gremlins, but didn't dare push further. Ended up not capturing any secondary towns, but gold-wise it was okay — Nagas were built in the Citadel and there's Clavius with Earth Magic for the future. A scout hero with 70 gremlins and a mage ran to take the Conflux via a detour, picking up some gold along the way (he was never destined to return — the path was blocked and soon he encountered enemy troops there).
On the second day, I immediately upgraded the Nagas and went to fight with them. Broke through to the dirt — found Boots of Speed right away, several stat boosters, a couple of crypts, a Naga Bank. Then I jumped into the underground — there was a Dungeon which I had taken a turn earlier, and I went into the treasure zone.
On the 3rd day, in the treasure zone — 5 Hives totalling 28 Wyverns, all the water from a Pandora's Box, a couple more Pandora's Boxes for gold and experience. Boots of Speed and Pendant of Necromancy. I go into the Dragon Utopia (3-tier) — got Captain's Hat, Water Magic book, and a Red Ball :), plus a Morale/Luck pendant — at least thanks for that.
At the start of the 4th day, I upgraded 5 Giants and go to the opponent. Crag was just looting my Conflux. I attack Crag with the singleton Angel and birds, he surrenders.
Thanks for the game!
Thanks for the game!) Initially, all the guards were strong, the exit to the secondary was guarded by up to 100 lizardmen, I didn't risk attacking them. In the end, I went to the grass, reached the Conflux, killed the opponent's scout hero with gremlins. Then I went to the road leading to the opponent's Castle but didn't go there. I took 1 Griffin Conservatory with a singleton and wanted to take a second one. But I hesitated for several turns, unsure, because I didn't know how many griffins were there. In the end, I took it — there turned out to be 2 of them, and then NumOne approached with the main army. So I left all the fast units in the main army to try to escape — the opponent's army was good, but not gigantic. I had 2500 gold, and they demanded 3200 to preserve the army with 1 Angel and birds. I put everyone on wait to get someone killed and escape, but I was unlucky with morale and the opponent killed me before I could take my turn) and I decided to surrender:)
