We took one restart due to a dead block from the castle and started. The map distribution was terrible, with a powerful block on one road that took a long time to go around; the only interesting things were one Dragon Fly Hive, a Gladius, an "empty" Pandora's Box, and a Pandora's Box with 20 Vampires. There was absolutely nowhere to raise Necropolis, and nowhere to level Galthran either, but there was plenty of gold — dragons were built on the first week. I free Nagash from the prison at level 20, with Expert Wisdom, Intelligence, Logistics, Air Magic, and various junk — Ballistics, Learning, etc. I double my mana by 400 units and on day 123 I hit the Demon Hell with Archangels. My army was 300 Skeletons, 8 Wyverns, 2 Dragons, and 25 Vampires, plus some other junk. Stats were 20-2-10-10(400) which were very enjoyable, but that's how it turned out. Right behind the Archdevils, 9 Ghost Dragons were guarding the Book of Air Magic; I defeat them, take two hives off-road, and there I defeat Champions for the Wings — I already have Control, but still saving mana. From below, a scout hero spots two Dragon Utopias — I fly over! I kill 100 Dendroid Soldiers; for some reason I don't take the Blackshard of the Dead Knight, probably saving movement points, then a Pandora's Box behind 9 Chaos Hydras gives 15k experience — thanks, I leveled up Mysticism, and then the Dragon Fly Hive. Oh yes, by that time Sevan had already surrendered long ago, and zloi_romantik was rushing me to kill Ominous, but I was very concerned about Nagash's second defense — I decided to dive into the Dragon Utopias for artifacts. It was 4 AM, my head wasn't working, so I did something stupid, went in with an inadequate army composition and lost, while also making a huge mess with my battle tactics. 25 Wyverns were lost, but 300 Skeletons and a Dragon remained. Between zloi_romantik and Ominous there was apparently an epic Final Battle, and zloi_romantik tells me, "come on, finish him off already :smile19:", and I fly over from the growth, dealing massive Death Blow damage, to finish him off. Tazar pretended to be a hose in the far corner of the respawn, but I had Air Magic Scouting, and that didn't help him. Thank you all for the game!
