We played on a timer 30+8+1. As Conflux, I was short on time starting from week 3, despite having full control and a bunch of jumping heroes. I wasted a lot of timer in week 1 when I was killing various dwarf cottages and such.
We got everything including by blocks as well. At first glance, the respawn seemed very poor. 2 hives for dragonflies, Griffin Conservatory 3-4, Dwarf Cottage (15), Dragon Utopia (which turned out to be max stats). It wasn't clear what to do in the first days at all. On day 113, after a couple of chests, Grindan has oil and goes into the Dwarf Cottage. The damage from air elementals with fairies was just pathetic, the dwarves resisted my oil :D, got morale and did all sorts of nasty things. He got out with around 7 air elementals and no mana. We found another 2 hives and a couple of boxes, well at least something. Then until day 117, I was busy with useful things like taking secondary towns, mills, green creatures, resources, and I also took a box for the entire 2nd level. I burned an external dwelling of phoenixes with a box for 100+ griffins, but only managed to take it on day 121. Having 3 towns allowed me to quickly gather everything — I got 6 birds, about 25 ducks, 3 angels. Through an external tavern at GO (regular monsters), I hit him on day 123 without problems, and right after that, a box for 3 titans. From watching, it was clear that the center was literally split into 2 parts, and along the way I was given 3 out of 4 respawns. With a bit of a struggle at the start, I ate everything (without offense/defense/tactics, various red dragons hit very hard). But after finding KZ and the Dragon Utopia with an Air book, eating 3/4 became just a matter of timer. I built archers, leveled up several heroes, imps to 6k, etc. At the end, I attacked the opponent in the castle, where a huge mana advantage decided the game.
Thanks for the game!
I confirm, I stalled as usual, got out on day 126 and had many small mistakes, which affected the long game.
Thanks for the game!
