Group B

Akella took 2 restarts, I did not take any.

On day 111 Tamika arrives and buys 5 heroes, Tamika advances Necro, I play. On the secondary towns there are guards that suit me perfectly - a horde of Castle archers and mages :cool:. So I raise Necro at the respawn on week 1, on day 116 I make a father's move: buy Centaurs, purchase Centaurs, buy out the hero, and then immediately sacrifice the Centaurs and the hero on 40 Dwarves for Spirit of Oppression and Gems :D

With Tamika I found and took the max Behemoth Hive on day 117, where I took some losses, but got +70 bones. Week result - Centaurs in the Citadel + 200 raised bones. At the start of week 2 I break through to the metro past 90 archers, losing a Centaur :smile34:, then comes the next father's move: I attack 120 rags with GS for Chain +4 and 2 Obelisks (why so many :confused:) and the remaining 2 Centaurs die, along with some bones and half of the Marksmen. They give Earth. I captured Necro, built a Mage Guild there - no Slow, fortunately I had a Haste scroll, but there's no point hunting in the treasure zone without it since the army is only bones. By the end of week 2 I broke into the treasure zone, but there are only ranged guards + a Dragon Utopia. I broke back home, built the Mage Guild - again no Slow. Already about 400 bones. At the start of week 3 I went to take a secondary town with Mages - there in Conflux they give a Mage Guild. I break back into Necro and return to the treasure zone. There I stall until the end of week 4, since there was no logistics or speed artifacts. I took a box at full 3rd and 5th level, a Hive of 28 Wyverns, a level 1 Dragon Utopia with Red Boots, a Sword +5 All for 130 Angel Priests (next father's move: I forget they make spells more expensive and lose 200 skeletons when I realize I don't have enough mana for Raise!). Not a single Griffin Conservatory was found on the map in a month.

At the start of week 5 I break home, build Archers and break the home Dragon Utopia - they give a Captain's Hat, a Book of Air (when I already have Control in General anyway) and a Book of Fire :rolleyes:. I didn't get an impressive stack of skeletons, since raising in the treasure zone didn't really work out, and there are barely any roads at respawns besides my own. Then I broke the Ghosts and took the main opponent's town, seeing through scouts that he was clearly stuck in the sand treasure zone for a long time.

Then I fly on Control to the opponent and catch Gurni without mana. My stats are higher (15 17 19 14), and army-wise: 600+ bones, 3 Archers, 28 Wyverns, 15 King Minotaurs, 8 Champions, 50 Marksmen, 30 Crusaders. The opponent has 8 Bears, 25 Thunderbirds, and about 50 Wyverns + no mana.

Thanks for the game!
