Pyre (red, Swamp, Tazar) def Lexmaster (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Sandro) 127, Speed-2
Gave up the external dwelling of gnolls and wyverns; the sawmill turned out to be far away and blocked, so I built only the bare minimum. Set up a mage guild and wyverns in the main Castle, and did the same in the secondary, but in the Stronghold. Explored one neighboring zone, but it was empty — no dwelling or hives.
On the second week, I ran to another neighboring zone where a dwelling was visible in the fog of war. While I was moving, my opponent caught me off guard, broke through the ГО, and took my main town. But I still managed to capture the dwelling, which unfortunately turned out to be a mini. Transferred troops via chain to the secondary Swamp town and moved Tazar there. Sat for a couple of days thinking what to do; the opponent was holed up tight in the Castle and didn't want to come out. He had Spell Power 8 against my 4. Initially, I thought about sitting back and building up to GM2, but then I decided to rush his respawn; Tazar has Expert Logistics and Earth Magic, and Main Tactics. I run there, but he catches up to me. I have 54 Greater Basilisks, 70 Gnolls, 10 Greater Wyverns, 1 Angel, 23 Greater Serpents. My opponent has about 60 Centaurs, 40 Greater Golems, 18 Dendroid Soldiers, 48 Elves, and about 15 of my Serpents.
After the Fireball I come out with 24 Basilisks and 40 Gnolls.
Then came the chasing; I captured his native towns in one turn. At this point, he left my main town. I took advantage of that, transferred the army via chain, used Labetha from the secondary town to reach my main town, and moved Tazar there.
Later there was another battle where Labetha took out the remaining 2 Wyverns on 7 Dwarves. After that, he surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
