14.09.13. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Ignissa, Grindan), shameonyou (brown, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran) def MaxGor (green, Castle, Valeska, Ciel), SVAROG (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Gundula), jebus, 123.
This time, it went very well. From the start - two native heroes, one of them is weak, but it's okay - right next to the castle there are 3 air mines. I quickly took them, bought them, and built a crypt for 2500 - a difference of 6 heroes.
On turn 112, I take a second Inferno town. Grindan is recruited, and he gets Pandora - second level of magic, not good. 4 Hive locations and 3 more bonus air mines have been scouted! The plan is clear - to upgrade and attack the Guardian (if it's not a melee unit).
On turn 113, I captured another air mine, revealed a scouting spell - a Shield of Lion's Courage is found! A freebie. On the same day, a well-placed prison allowed me to take a second town. I moved Grindan there, visited the stables, put on a +3 helmet, ate Pandora for 5k experience, and went back to the capital to replenish mana.
On turn 114, I moved towards the Guardian. In the meantime, I captured more air mines, found a +5 mace and a +3+3 amulet. I also took the shield.
On turn 115, I took Pandora from the Guardian for 30 fish, and positioned myself next to a group of creatures.
On turn 116, I had to spend 12500 on a pendant for the first speed. As a result, there were big money problems later. I defeated the creatures, they had low morale, ate several fish and almost all of the light units. In the treasure, there was a road block of 20+ green dragons. It's not good to go around through the desert, so I'm going to the green town :). There's a Guardian there - Ifrits, it fell easily, I ran to the capital, changed the town's faction - but I didn't have enough mana to settle. All because of the fish...
On his turn, Max takes the town back and settles in defense. What can I do - I need to replenish mana - I attack. There are 12 vivs, an angel, and some minor units, Ciel with a powerful ranged attack. I cast air protection, then a 400+ lightning bolt, mass haste, in general, everything went easily, I only lost a dozen storms. The greens surrender.
On turn 121, with full mana and a built stable, I run back to the desert. The browns are already here, so, seeing titans in the army, I suggested that the Necropolis players kill the Rampart and not attack my heroes, and they agreed. I took 4 Hive locations, but only got 18 vivs. Aine took the central tower and saw a very good treasure - a level 5 artifact, a book of earth, a chalice, Pandora... Meanwhile, the browns break through the Guardian on the grass and kill the elves (Gundula fled, the troops died).
On turn 122, I took the last Hive location - I got 12 vivs. Then I attack the dragons. There are a lot of them. They killed many, gave 10 naga and a level 30 mage hero with a log. I captured another prison, moved Grindan to the tower, and approached the level 5 artifact after Pandora gave 20k experience, which gave intelligence and scouting to the already existing air and water skills.
On turn 123, I took the book of earth and the chalice, doubled the mana to 800+, I have parameters, I have an army, I have magic. Here, the opponents finished dealing with each other. The blues are defeated.
Thank you all for the game.
Yeah. The resource location turned out to be much worse than the others - only 1 Hive and that's it, but I got 4 prisons, even though two of them had 2 swamp heroes, including a Gervaulf with 10 gnolls :D. On turn 111, I found a chest with 5k experience - immediately got Necropolis experience + offensive bonus. I didn't recruit for a couple of days and took secondaries. On turn 114, I found a chest with 15k experience for 30 + iron golems. I got air, a log, but no haste. I put a grandmaster in the secondary town, bought the Book of Taz'ar, and retrained haste. The Guardian is a pit. On turn 115, I positioned myself close to the Guardian with full movement and a stable. On turn 116, I defeated 60 pits (300 bones), but for some reason they were stacked in 6 stacks, as a result, even the fast bones didn't deal with them very quickly - minus 100+ units. Then I go and see a chest behind a horde of trolls - I saw this from scouting earlier in the game, and I thought there would definitely be giants, or at least queen nagas. I killed the trolls and got 3 titans :cool:. Then a hundred wooden units :eek: for the prison. It was difficult to kill them, because there were 200 bones, and they only dealt 7 damage + there was a guard, and the titans kept getting low morale. And when all the stacks were defeated, 25 units got low morale and the bones attacked for 2 rounds (there was no dispel or healing), as a result, another 60 were lost :(. From the prison, I got a good Nimbus, level 30, with experience, a log, and air skills, and also twice the native stats. I retrained lightning bolt for the Nimbus. I decide to switch to him, because the main hero has almost no mana, and the Nimbus has 10 lightning bolts of 350. On the next turn, Pit offers an alliance, there was no choice - his stats are 3 times higher, even though we started at the same time. Well, then I defeated the blue Guardian, there's Gundula on an angel - my first turn, but the titans have low morale, as a result, Gundula casts Armageddon for 180 :D and runs away. I reach the army on the flank. I kill them. Then I finished it off in the town. Thanks everyone for the game!
