In all my restarts, I had scouting near my town.
I checked the huge respawn, hoping for an external dwelling of minotaurs, but there were only harpies, so I decided to play through them. I had more gold (more heroes).
I collected money from chests, placed harpies and a portal on 117 — I needed to buy them from the external dwelling and the portal, so I didn't place the 2nd portal.
On 121, I buy the chain from the external dwelling, transport the harpies to my town, the main hero stops at the secondary hero, Harpies 61-65.
122 — I kill 13 ducks with Horde + stable. Going to the dwarf dwelling. A stack of 10 with Horde.
123 — I capture the Necropolis castle, decide to go to the center (the scouting was very strategic — in the center, Shoah took it).
124-7 — I take my main hero's OPA, and the spoon war begins.
OP, having 1 castle in the center zone, attacks me.
My hero: Septiena, level 7, 5 1 7, 56 MP, Earth 3, 63 gr harpies, 6 pit fiends, 14 imps, 5 hell hounds, 15 skeletons.
Grizvald: Moandor, level 9, 5 3 5, 30, 185 skeletons, 2 1 1 hell hounds, 2 cavaliers, 8 demons, and 30 gogs — Earth 3.
Round 1: we exchanged shots. (OP has School 3 — the question is which one...)
Round 2: the gates fall (he had 1st ballista), I use Oil + harpy strike — in response, Mass Mass.
Then I targeted skeletons with my shots + a harpy strike. When there were 84 skeletons, 4 demons, and 16 gogs with 1 hell hound left against my 5 pit fiends, 55 harpies, 15 skeletons, and 14 imps — Grizvald surrendered.
Thanks for the game.
