04.10.2013 Juristis (blue, random, Castle, Christian, Tiraxsor) def =Stinger= (red, random, Stronghold, Yog, Gundula) 8mm6a 132
Fast roads, I decided to play because of the scouting view that revealed external dwellings of spearmen, archers, and griffins, as well as an external marketplace and several Dwarf Cottages. On the first, I took a company Citadel, cleared the external dwellings of spearmen and marksmen, a level 15 Dwarf Cottage, a couple of crypts, and armor +1 to all stats. Tirax with wisdom, at home cavalry in the Citadel.
On the second, a mini Dragon Fly Hive, manticore lairs level 8 and mini, a box of 5k experience, earth magic expertise, a level 3 naga bank.
With 4 Dragon Utopias I broke through to the center via Shiiva, took a swamp village there, and was killed the next day by Gundula who had arrived. Meanwhile, with Tiraxsor I went to my corner treasure zone, taking a mini Dwarf Cottage and a level 4 naga guard on the way. In the treasure zone, a +4 shield and a level 2 Griffin Conservatory. At the same time, Gundula ran at me (127) and stopped a day's travel from my main. I hire angels, break into Tirax's main, the army returns via the chain, and I attack Gundula:
FB:
Gundula 9-8-5, 80 mana. 4 angels, 2 bears, 1+7 birds, 95 hobgoblins, 2+2 dire wolves, basic tactics.
Tiraxsor 16-13-2, 33 mana. 3 angels, 46 marksmen, 10 swordsmen, 60 spearmen, 1 wolf, 6 griffins, 5 champions, expert tactics, cloak +3 spell effect.
In round 1, we exchanged oil, I volleyed the angels. In round 2, I took a lightning bolt for -13 marksmen, I kill 1 angel with marksmen, then haste the birds, -5 birds. Stinger hits my angels with his own, killed 1, lost 1 from the retaliation. In round 3, I fly the angels back, Artyom kills 2 birds with lightning and resurrects. Total: -1 angel, 2 birds, and 13 marksmen for me, -2 angels, 5 birds, and 10k for Stinger. I also recruit Krelyon from the tavern for the fifth angel.
Next turn, I buy up, take the central village, and kill a computer hero. In the portal behind him, I see a Dragon Utopia. I plan to buy more meat and take it in a turn, but Artyom throws himself away like a noob into a max Griffin Conservatory and surrenders. Thanks for the game!
