Pit for LM (brown, Rampart, Kyri, Kyri), Iamsamstan (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def Shameonyou (green, Necropolis, Galtran, Galtran), c0nn3c71nkK.ppL (red, Conflux, random Erdamon, Grindan), Jebus, 124.
Castle fell to be picked first. Necro, flux, ramp - basically, didn't matter, but decided to take ramp - it might be slightly easier to break into the center on the first turn.
In the end, the layout turned out to be quite average - one Pandora, 2 hives, and a dragon cache on the respawn. Also a utopia, though it's not entirely clear how to get it. GO - bone dragons with GS, quite unpleasant.
111 - good spread with 8 heroes, revealed almost the entire respawn, as well as part of the center with wings, Pandoras, Utopias, Sword of Justice... But all of that was through mountains via dead-end wilderness. 4 elves entered, and I pulled Melody from the prison - another 4 elves + a decent stack of centaurs was gathered. Also quite lucky with parameter artifacts - helmet +5, shield +4, armor +1 for all and a ring for attack-defense from the crypt. Took one gold mine.
112 - mage with 4 gogs clears the swamp village, Kyri takes a couple of imp warehouses, a couple of boosters. Dragon cache found, which is where I'm heading. Meanwhile, Jeditt captures the second gold mine and moves toward the second village. On the way, an angel is visited at the refugee camp.
113 - Tower village taken, a Pandora was captured on the way for 34 gr. by gargoyles. Army returns to Kyri - the dragon cache is ours.
114 - thinking for a long time about what to do. According to the calculator, the Pandora had either 10k gold, or level 4, or pegasi. I felt like it could be 10k exp... Nevertheless, I decided to trust the program. This is what saves me :). The Pandora turns out to be experience, and Jeditt gets expert earth and advanced intelligence. Now taking the utopia on 121 becomes simply elementary. Accordingly, I decide to build up the dragons and not rush into the center on the first turn.
115 - Kyri runs to the far hive, Jeditt - along the boosters.
116 - the hive turns out to have 8 wivs; thanks to expert armor and decent parameters, enters without losses. Kyri splits home to refill mana - helmet +5 is already captured.
117 - Jeditt takes the second hive; with resurrection for centaurs, he also enters without losses - also 8. They give expert intelligence - on 121 there will be 200 mana, more than enough for the utopia. And Kyri stands on the angel at the GO.
121 - the utopia turns out to be level 3, gave about 120 mana and two level 1s there. They give a good deal - earth book and sword +5 for all, as well as a water sphere, which also pleased me - Kyri's ice bolt started hitting for 400+, explosion - for 900+, but the second spell is very expensive in mana - only 10 knowledge after all... Jeditt portals to the village to refill mana, the army goes to Kyri, who breaks through 3*7 dragons and comes out into the desert. There are immediately speed boots and a golden bow. The turn was spent aimlessly - cleared a hive, realized that entering there with 7 stacks of dragons and elves is bad, and entering with 50+ mages for the titan cuirass is also somehow bad, basically just running back and forth.
122 - on the opponents' turn I realize I played wrong - spotted a helmet +6 for all behind ghosts near the cuirass. Fortunately, no one took it. Rion captured the handcuffs, Tunar took the hive, which luckily turned out to be maximum, now with the correct army I take the cuirass, reach the helmet, take it, and decide to portal home to refill mana. And it wouldn't hurt to upgrade the dragons.
123 - Here green Galtran enters the center, followed by blue Gurnisson. After a long and hard battle, the greens capitulate. Well, I decided that since the blues defeated the greens, they should proceed to the next round :). Ran to crush the reds. With 3500+ moves, this turned out to be not so difficult.
124 - Kyri takes one central city, Tunar on a dragon - the second one, the tower, from where everything is visible from the overview. Grindan is far, but you can't run from Kyri. I attack with handcuffs - there are only 36 wivs of anything serious, but 29 die immediately from the explosion. GG.
Thank you all for the game!
Confirmed!
Should have killed the green one myself :D
Thanks for the game)
