We decided to play a mirror match. Vidomina came in; I ran her around to the SP-boosting buildings, got Earth magic right away, and was already an Expert by week 1, day 16. Too bad that in two Mage Guilds I didn't get Slow, but I found it in a Shrine and passed it via Ein. I got Boots of Speed for 50 gold Zombies on the dirt terrain.
Week 2, day 1 I started at the Stables, then took the Gold Mine for 23 silver Pegasi and went into the adjacent zone. I did some Necromancy there, got 200 Skeletons, captured another Necromancy village where I found a double Griffin Conservatory with a grown stack, but due to morale I lost 20 Archers and 40 Skeletons. Then I went on the offensive. I broke through 60 grown Earth Elementals for a passage to the opponent; a weak hero took a Swamp village, but the main hero was 20 MP short of capturing the Necromancy village and stopped at a crossroads. On his turn, Ciele attacks.
There are 25 grown Lizards and 15 regulars, 50 Skeletons, 50 grown Gnolls, 150 regular Gnolls, 4 Basiliks, 2 grown Dragon Flies. Mana is 23, Spell Power = 6
I have 2 Angels, 1+1 grown Dragon Flies, 13 Lizards, 3 Basiliks, 220 Skeletons, 40 Gnolls. Mana is 21, I think, Spell Power = 9
We shot each other with archers and ballistae. At one point I cast Haste on the Skeletons and charged into the Gnolls, taking out a hundred of them. Then I finished off the remnants. There were 40 Gnolls under Mass Haste against 150 Hasted Skeletons and 1 Angel. I ran after the Gnolls but couldn't catch them. Due to my higher Spell Power, my Haste lasted a couple of rounds longer; neither side had any mana left. The Red player surrenders.
Thanks for the game!
