13.09.2013 Defiant (blue, inferno, Nymus, Nymus) lose Dima Surmay (red, stronghold, Gundula, Gundula) JC 141
Both spent all their restarts, and in the end I got stuck with blue Inferno, which I've never played on Jebus Cross before. Right next to the castle there was a block of 50-99 hobbits. Without thinking too much, I took a screenshot and sent it to Dima asking for a tech restart, but then I thought it over myself, and others later pointed out that such a block is not grounds for a restart. What to do, I decided to break through it, lost 6 gogs, 10 imps, and some fodder (there were 61 hobbits). After breaking through, over the next couple of days it turned out the layout wasn't bad: I revealed 2 external dwellings of efreets and pits behind easy guards, as well as 3 Dragon Fly Hives; on top of that, Ciele came in. The only thing bothering me was the lack of money buildings around. On day 114 I built efreets, on day 115 pits, took their external dwelling with Ciele, and a Pandora's Box of 100 imps. The rest of the game would better suit titles like "How I Tried to Make a Stack of Efreets" or "How Much Fire Can They Keep Pushing on Me". Nymus leveled up terribly; right away it offered Resistance or Fire Magic, I had to take Resist; next level it offered Artillery, then Fire Magic again, then Leadership — in short, a nightmare. Then part of the story about the efreets: according to my calculations, by week 2 with the Citadel there should have been 14 of them. And that's where I had bad luck and failed everywhere I could: When breaking through the first Dragon Fly Hive against 6 Wyverns, the dragonflies jumped on the efreets and ate one of them. Then I passed the chain to weaklings and lost another efreet to 17 mages guarding a Dragon Fly Hive (they stacked into 1 stack), and yet another efreet in the same Dragon Fly Hive by the same pattern and buried it (the dragonflies just wouldn't eat the imps, even though I split them into 2 stacks so they wouldn't fear retaliation). And the third Dragon Fly Hive turned out to be a max one, where they ate absolutely everything :D, except for 8 Wyverns. And after that, I was one move point short of the second external dwelling of efreets on day 117 :D And then it also turned out I missed one day of building, and the efreets would only be available at the Citadel :D In short, a real hell. In the end, on day 121 I finally take that ill-fated external dwelling, a Dwarf Cottage for buying up, set up to split into a secondary hero, near which 2 Griffin Conservatories were revealed. This secondary hero was 4 days' travel from the castle, so the chains were crooked and nothing worked out. On day 123 I take a Griffin Conservatory — a triple with Grandmasters without magic, lost 4 efreets (will you leave them alone already!), also beat a Crown of +4 Knowledge, set up to split into the secondary hero. On day 124 I split into the secondary hero, take another Griffin Conservatory (a single one), and I'm a couple of move points short of sitting in the castle to replenish mana (classic). On day 125 with 5 efreets, 20 ducks, 4 angels, and fodder, I break a Dragon Utopia (15 Black Dragons) with laughable stats of 5 6, come out of there with 7 ducks and 4 angels, then take a Dragon Fly Hive of 6 Wyverns and hit a Dragon Utopia of the Inferno spawn (120+ Greater Liches), and next to it lies a Clover Field guarded by a horde of Greater Djinns. What to do — I go for it. I miraculously micromanaged them, spent all my mana, came out with 3 angels, stats still laughable, something like 7 6 7 7, split back home to replenish mana, meanwhile I find another Griffin Conservatory, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a Sword of +3 on the native spawn. With the help of a strategic tavern and a Clover Field, I break all this, max out the growth and on week 3 I charge at the Inferno spawn, because my part of the wasteland was simply cosmic: a Dragon Utopia with Boots of Levitation guarded by a horde of Sultans, and cool stuff like a Cartographer + Sanctuary + Scroll + SPHERE OF FIRE (probably a combo with the Fire Magic they kept pushing on me another 2 times) guarded by a lot of Green Dragons. When breaking the Greater Liches with growth, on top of everything I misclicked while advancing the Wyverns forward one tile on Tactics, and in the end the computer pulled off some nonsense, moved the angels who knows where, threw a Meteor Shower at the Liches, etc. In short, came out with 3 angels and 10 Wyverns, there was a harsh morale penalty, I almost wanted to write GG, but pulled myself together, took a Griffin Conservatory double at the Inferno spawn, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, a Library, but stats of 14 10, 5 angels and 24 ducks on day 141 is still laughable. Predictably, Gundula appeared with 20 cyclopes and 29 attack, who, by the way, came out to the center later, and I decided not to drag it out.
Thanks for the game!
