07.11.13 Sanin (Red, Tower, Nila) def zoog (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) Diamond 143


In the first week, I captured four villages and a castle, with Naga dwellings in the castle. Three Griffin Conservatories and a couple of tasty slow guards were revealed. Nila with the Log of Attack and high Attack.

On day 121, I cleared a Pandora's Box with 35 gr. Gargoyles, bought all the Grems (barely scraped together almost 80), Mages, and six Nagas; built the Blacksmith, bought a War Machine, and attacked 99 gr. Ogres the same turn. The opponent, watching this from scouting range, wished me luck. Well, with luck, morale, decent terrain, and mana spent on Slow, I managed to break through, losing three Grems and five Gargoyles. Behind them was the Collar of the [Alliance of Light] and a Pandora's Box for 5k experience. Nila kept being offered Water Magic, which she would eventually have to take and which would greatly help in the endgame.
Then I cleared some Crypts for the Dragon Fly Hive dropping six Wyverns, upgraded the Nagas, and went on to take the Griffin Conservatories. At the end of the week, I claimed a Sword of +5 All Stats and a Golden Bow, another Pandora's with Gr. Gargoyles, and the maximum Dragon Fly Hives. Nila now had Water Magic, Ice Bolt from Alagar, and Prayer from Loynis.

On the third week, I took the Papal Dragon Utopia with Boots of Levitation, Necklace of Ocean Guidance, a Bag of Gold, and the Blackshard of the Dead Knight.
On day 133, Ivor stood within reach; stats and army were comparable. I wanted to attack but couldn't resist grabbing the Shield of +5 and the nearby Library, and in the end, I didn't have enough movement points to attack. The opponent checked with a scout hero, turned around, and fled back through the portal he came from. I sent scout heroes there; there was a conveniently located Tavern through which I could reach the enemy's capital, but that wasn't with Nila anymore. Nila herself settled in the orange conflux; I built a University there and bought Earth Magic. I planned to level her on the Tree of Knowledge the next turn so I could properly use Resurrection, learned from Jedite. But Ivor attacked the same turn. He had 45 Elves, 50+ Wyverns, 3 Angels, and some miscellaneous units. I had 7 Angels, 11 Wyverns, 82 Gr. Gargoyles, 8 Gr. Nagas, etc. The opponent used the Cloak of Abdication, so I couldn't cast Prayer. With Towers and Bolt, I took out the Elves immediately; then came Mass Weakness, the opponent cast Mass Slow, I cast Mass Cure and went on the offensive. In the end, the opponent surrendered on two Wyverns, leaving me with 28 Gr. Golems. By the way, if not for the Ice Bolt dealing 490 damage, Ivor would hardly have killed anything of Nila's...
Then there was some running around; I took the opponent's capital, got 30 Gr. Harpies from a quest, and decided to clear the green dungeon—there were unrecruited Manticores and Harpies, an external dwelling of Beholders, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives along the way—in short, I could start snowballing. At home, I finally built Giants.
On day 137, the opponent took the Rampart.

On day 142, I recruited and upgraded all the Harpies and Beholders; at home—Grems, Mages, Nagas, and Golems (which totalled 44) + 12 Wyverns, and all this army, through a long chain of villages and the aforementioned Tavern, reached the Rampart. I recruited Nila there and caught Ivor while he was running, but he escaped using Tactics. However, the enemy army was left somewhere in a treasure zone on scout heroes.
The next turn, I got a View of the area, saw a lot of tasty things still unclaimed, but managed to reach Astral with the main army, after which the opponent conceded.
Thanks for the game!
