17.10.13. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Fiur, Fiur) def The_ (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Gunnar), Jebus, 123.
Everything went smoothly. Didn't take any restarts, my opponent used their 111+111 and we were off.
On 111 I scouted two Pandora's Boxes (goblin and mage groups), a Dragon Utopia, and an incredible pile of artifacts - a +3+3 shield, +5 helmet, boots, gloves + Spirit of Oppression + +3 armor. The guards everywhere were tough, though, and I didn't see any hives yet. I decided to see what would happen next and didn't restart, even though I had only 5 heroes. Oh, and the Air dwelling was already built, which was nice.
112 - scouted two Obelisks and a Griffin Conservatory, also a +6 sword and Sphere of the Elements. There's a convenient stable, 8 heroes. Decent. The Pandora's Box with goblins gave Fairies. But there's nothing to fight, everything is very powerful and tough.
113 - took a Tower town. Found an external market nearby. Also spotted the edge of another Obelisk (could actually make out one more).
114 - took the Sphere of the Elements from trolls and flagged a second town. Deep inside found another Pandora's Box and an Obelisk guarded by 50+ Demon groups. And on the road found a +6 all stats helm behind 20+ Horses.
115 - scouted the area. Found something I could kill - an Obelisk guarded by 20+ Cerberi. Heading there with Fiur.
116 - built Birds, sat on the Obelisk.
117 - +6 Wyverns, took the stable. Took gloves, Spirit and Armor from 50 Elf groups, took boots from 20+ Monks. Built Birds in the Citadel. External dwellings - one Air and two Fairy.
121 - bought creatures, +3+3 shield, army moved to Fiur. The Griffin Conservatory turned out to be minimal, unfortunately. Rushed home and forgot to buy a spell book. And forgot to leave artifacts in the chain :)
122 - fighting 50 Ogre Magi without artifacts wasn't very pleasant, but it worked out. +6 Wyverns. Army moved to another Obelisk, a Pandora's Box for 2nd level, another 6 Wyverns. Returned to Fiur. The Pandora's Box with Mages gave 20 Magma Elementals, so I upgraded them in the town as well. Camped near the opponent's GO. Cyel took the +6 all stats helm.
123 - last Obelisks, +12+6 Wyverns, +6 sword. Really messed up by donating all resources and forgetting I had no spell book, but I wanted to buy it in the central town right next to the GO. Managed somehow. The GO with 30+ Ghost Dragons fell fairly easily, took the town, the Pandora with 30+ Giants was a bit tougher but worked out. Got 3 Gold Dragons. Killed defenders for the Library, visited it. Then - a hundred Minotaurs for a Pandora with 25 Elf groups, and another Library.
Stats are decent now - 26-15-15-12, excellent leveling - Attack, Tactics, Logistics, Defense, Earth. And the army is fine - 25 Elves, 30 Magmas, 36 Wyverns, 3 Golds, 140 Fairies, an Angel, and 5 Birds. I was basically near the opponent's GO, and with 3500 movement points, finishing him off would probably have been easy.
However, he couldn't handle his own GO with 100+ Cyclops - a really bad respawn.
Thanks for the game!
