A tough start in the dungeon... Broke through to my secondary town, but the passage to the village itself is blocked by up to 99 marks at the entrance to the treasure zone portal. Placed the liches and killed the marks, but about 50 skeletons survived without the liches... The second passage is blocked by up to 99 Gr. Serpents. Wait until the start of the second week; in the capital, liches are in the citadel; in the secondary, I think I placed vampires.
On the second week, I broke through to the surface; it turned out to be a swamp. Nothing much to do there - all the respawn is cut up by mountains; from the lookout point, a Griffin Conservatory can be seen far away. Transferred everyone to my native respawn to take the Griffin Conservatory - a pair came in quite handy :)
With the angels, I went to the first treasure zone - it turned out to be shared with the opponent, since I saw glimpses of his heroes near my entrance. An early encounter is not in our plans, so I proceed forward cautiously, sending a scout first. I took a couple of hives; in the warrior mausoleum, they gave +2 speed:smile12:
On the third week, we're clearing the treasure zone; in the distance are a hive, a box, and a dragon utopia from a dungeon - decided not to go there, but to return to the start of the treasure zone - to the level 5 hat for a horde of necro horses. I did everything right - because the next turn Tazar appears with a medium army and kills my horse. We take the blue cap with the loss of one angel; after that, there's basically nothing to do in the treasure zone - we leave. Blue takes the hive and realizes there's nothing more to do here either. I decide to check the second treasure zone through a portal, and it turned out to be much tastier. ;)
On the fourth week, I'm hanging out there. I took a box for level 3 magic, a hive; Aslyn took 2 libraries and grew a bit in stats. Not sure how I lost the last angel against a flock of titans, even though everything was easy to take there. :confused: The second necromancer also leveled up, but his skills were just terrible; I had to learn Wisdom, Eagle Eye, and Intelligence. Although he also visited the libraries. For the phoenixes, the second necromancer took an experience box with the loss of 150 skeletons :( Finally found a Dragon Utopia - Aslyn takes it and gets a Water spell book... upgraded to Expert Water (had to take it). I captured 2 Devil dwellings and took the Cloak of Abdication. In the second Dragon Utopia, they gave a Fire spell book, Titan's Armor, and the Red Orb - almost certainly the opponent doesn't have the other orb and cloak yet, so the finale will almost certainly be with magic. I'm counting on that, since Tazar has insane stats, especially defense. The problem is that we have almost no stat artifacts... :mad: Meanwhile, our capital is taken.
On week 5, I transfer everyone to the swamp; Aslyn restores mana - a measly 150 points. With Fly, I cross over the mountains and take a trio of Griffin Conservatories; moving through the swamp is tough - but thankfully I have Advanced Pathfinding, Expert Logistics, and boots. I run off-road into the last treasure zone; a Dragon Utopia there gave Titan's Helm and armor +4 attack/defense. I also beat a couple of hives there. With the helm, I can stock up on a fair amount of mana - but where to find a well? I have every kind of magic, but no Town Portal:( There's a well right by the last necro secondary town. I defend this secondary by all means, because brazen Ayn killed all my horses with her magic there. But she got payback; with an Armageddon for 650, I sent her into oblivion. I'm thinking where to send Aslyn; I notice some rocks - and there I find springs and wells. I Town Portal there; from the lookout, I spot a Barbarian village, and Tazar is in it... and not a single well around. I run far into the opponent's treasure zone on grass, where I can see unclaimed objects. I hope Tazar doesn't have Logistics - but the next turn, he catches up. In the final battle, the plan was to buy my way out and, after replenishing mana, beat the opponent - but apparently I spent the money somewhere. Tazar, with his morale and luck, killed all the skeletons for almost every stack. Too bad... if I had had mana, I could have won...
Thanks for the game!
P.S. By losing this match, I'm knocked out of the tournament, to my wife's unspeakable joy:smile05:
