"King of the Hill"

7.7.2013: twaryna (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Bishop (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) Jebus Cross 134

On the respawn there was a bit little meat: an external dwelling of hydras, lizardmen, basilisks, and bulls + 1 Dragon Fly Hive for 8 wyverns + there was little gold. But in return, they placed КЗ and a 5 lvl hat + 2 Dragon Utopias. I took КЗ on 121, the next day I took the second Dragon Utopia with the loss of almost everything except the hydras. They gave a hat +10 and boots +2 all. I make 300 mana with Taz in the dungeon and run to ГО. I upgrade 6 hydras. I break through on 123. In the center I pick up a chalice, a flail, and a shield +3. On 124 I take a Griffin Conservatory for 3 angels, I take the central castle, but from the external dwellings it's clear that the treasure zone is native to the opponent. On 125 at home I pick up a 5 lvl hat and a Dragon Utopia. Tazar takes a necklace +3+3 in the center and then a necklace +3 all and a Dragon Utopia. Not quite enough time to Town Portal home for mana. Then I slowly start to devour the dungeon's respawn. There I take a Griffin Conservatory, a Dragon Utopia, and clear several hives. On 127 I try to reach the reds' capital with Tazar, but I'm 400 mp short. On 131 I gather all the strength and build a stable in the castle. And on 132 I just take the opponent's main. Then a bit more strength and soon Kyrre attacks Tazar in the castle and dies. Thanks for the game!

We picked all the rest, and off we went. Not a bad starting army; on the 2nd day with the buyout in the town and from the external dwelling of elves 46+ Centaur guards, 30 dwarves and 20 elves, plus a +1 speed lying on the road — absolute beauty. On 113 I upgrade the elves, but it's not clear where to go next; I checked a Griffin Conservatory (2) and I see another one, a strong one; I was already about to run to the second one, but one of the scouts finds a unique dwelling, so we run there. There we also find another Centaur dwelling, the Bible, and a stable; we just hit level 10, visit a +2 to all; in parallel, we transfer to another corner of the respawn; he captures the native Tuesday; we build a fort and elves there. Recon checks ГО, a horde of greater dreads. In the main, uniques are in the Citadel. Kyrre on 117 stands at the stable, leveled up like a freak of course, not a single elemental skill was given. On 113 I plan to exit, having picked up 2 Griffin Conservatories, as well as a sword +12-3 spotted near ГО. The Thieves' Guild shows updated info on the opponent — his parameters have grown and there are greater hydras in the army, which clearly indicates a Dragon Utopia on the respawn. On 113 I don't have enough gold to buy out; I stand before ГО on 4 angels, having grabbed a gladius and the legacy. The day I'm pulling up 90 Centaur guards, 58 grand elves, 10 war unicorns, 60 greater dwarves, 6 dendroids
:smile13: On the exit, right behind the mountain I see a red orb; along the road past the lots of Centaur captives I take КВ and run along the road to a Pandora's Box for a pack of archers; it gives 10 unicorns. Then another box for experience and a green dragon dwelling; then I run into a dragon wasteland. I run back towards the red orb; it turns out there's a Rampart town there. I see a bunch of boxes and unique dwellings, Dragon Fly Hives, and the first Dragon Utopia :) . The opponent is not yet visible; I plan to collect all the unicorn dwellings, 3 hives, and a Griffin Conservatory, but then unexpectedly on 127 Tazar runs out and is about 5 steps short of reaching the main. 131 Kyrre takes 2 Dragon Fly Hives (minimal :smile21:) and trots on foot back home. I buy out; I get 35 war unicorns, 80+ grand elves, 3 angels, 8 griffins + dendroids and dwarves; Tazar has 6 angels, 6 chaos hydras, 35 greater dwarves + lizardmen and flies. Kyrre has the red orb and enough points to attack, but by the rules I cannot attack with growth on 131, so I stand in the town. Tazar, scratching his head, casts Town Portal, which is annoying because we have neither Town Portal nor earth :smile05: . I run into the treasure zone to take a Dragon Utopia, hives, and boxes; Tazar finally reaches my main on the next turn and stands there. His angel stack has grown, and hydra stack too. Meanwhile, I take boxes that give 3 gold dragons; griffins are already 27; in the Dragon Utopia a shield +4 to all and handcuffs; on the next turn I plan to jump into the treasure zone where I see Dragon Fly Hives, 2 boxes, boots +2 to all. But then I look into the tavern, which shows that the main force is not with Tazar, but with the scout hero; I take a look and see a hero in the town and another hero nearby, presumably avoiding with a Dimension Door. I got there and it's a total fail — Tazar stands in the town, all the army in the garrison, he himself on 2 flies, and nearby a scout with a bunch of flies and chaff. No Town Portal, no escape; I attack and the battle is lost.
Thanks for the game!

P.S. Pardon the spelling, was writing from a tablet.
