"Новичок SUMMER-2013"

Denouement :)

20.11.2013 The_ (blue, Rampart, Kyrre) def Diabler (red, Conflux, random, tuned, dragon) 146, 8mm6a. (3-0)

We played this game with a break, I don't remember the respawns particularly, but considering my respawn, I most likely didn't have any :).

One road looped into the underground, part of the respawn was under a block of 20+ Medusas behind a box, stables in the very corner of the respawn, never visited them. Before the metro, I found an external dwelling of Centaurs, and underground already a Griffin Conservatory (2-4). Quickly running to the green computer (Inferno), I managed to collect a lot of gold from its respawn, resulting in Cavaliers in the Castle. Kyrre learned Earth Magic and Pathfinding, killed the computer on the first, moved closer to the center.

On the second, having purchased Cavaliers, I broke through into the adjacent zone, found a Shield +4, Armor +1 all, a Dwarf Cottage, a Madhouse, and a passage to another computer - again Inferno. After entering its starting location from the portal to the Castle, even Kyrre ran for two days. Captured the Castle only on day 125. The guild gave Oil, Kyrre leveled up Earth Magic. I build a chain to haul the meat (fortunately, the scout heroes were already on upgraded Pegasi, otherwise nothing would have worked out). I split back home to take the home box and the Griffin Conservatory.

Third week: during the process of hauling meat, I broke through one of the passages further into the center, where the opponent immediately appeared, but the main and army were not visible (who knew then that the dragon standing on the watchtower with Air Elementals and Pixies was the main). Killing one scout hero, Alagar scouted as much as he could, then met death himself so as not to block the main hero. We parted ways there for now, especially since Diemer found two more Griffin Conservatories and two Dragon Fly Hives in the starting zone of the green Inferno (the first captured computer). Kyrre easily breaks the Conservatory, it turned out to be a 2. Army: 10 Unicorns, 17 Dendroid Soldiers, 40+ Grand Elves, filler. I build chains for the Conservatories. The very first Conservatory, which Diemer takes (who, of course, wasn't passed the artifacts), turns out to be a max — the result is sad: loss of 1 Angel, 4 Cavaliers, all Dendroid Soldiers, 6 Grand Elves, all the filler. For the next Conservatory, Kyrre arrives. A 3, with Oil it falls without problems. I split back to the green Inferno, run to the center through another portal. Meanwhile, the scout heroes finish off two Dragon Fly Hives (here another questionable move: attacking with 8 Angels, stats 8-8, a scout hero lost 1 Angel in a max Dragon Fly Hive, although the Angels were split, why I was too lazy to give filler is unclear).

Again some crooked adjacent zone, teleport to teleport, but I find Gloves of Speed, and finally get to a normal treasure zone. I collect Dragon Flies there, bringing the count to 32, 8 Angels, enough filler — I need Dragon Utopias. And they are found, two of them. I free Galthaean from prison with Expert Scholar. In the green Inferno, I build Mage Guild level 4 (gives Town Portal), I retrain Kyrre to Resurrection. I attack the first Dragon Utopia — max, but Resurrection pulls through, I only lose the filler. It gives Armor +4+4, Wings of the Wind, a Water Book (under Expert Water Magic, I took a Monk back in the day :D), Boots of Speed +15%. With the Wings, I also eat the second Dragon Utopia — a 3, it gives Crystal Zone and a Red Orb. After such a successful day, per tradition, I dorked around and lost some units while clearing artifacts and Dragon Fly Hives. At the end of the week, I flew home to refill mana and, with Wings, attack the opponent (his respawn was literally just across the cliffs from my main).

Fourth week: imba Kyrre easily flies to the opponent's main. Army: 8 Angels, 40 Dragon Flies, 50 Grand Elves, 10 Unicorns, 50 Pegasi (two external dwellings of them were found after breaking the Medusa block), Centaur Captains. Stats aren't strong, something like 22-23-6-6. Next, I pursue the opponent, periodically getting distracted by the goodies he left behind. Picked up a Dragon Utopia — gave Crystal Cape. Couldn't resist, Dimension Doored into another zone, picked up a Conservatory, a Dragon Fly Hive. Meanwhile, Torossar, jumping into a portal, fell one movement point short of the Castle where the opponent was building Angels. On their turn, the red player surrendered, although the dragon had leveled up excellently, but there was too little meat — nothing to take Dragon Utopias with.

Thanks for the game!

And add it in! :smile44: :smile03: :smile49:
