As always, I spend all my rest, opponent does too, we started.
The roads are average, starting hero Luna, albeit with only fairies. Right at the castle exit, a block of 20+ dogs for a ring +1+1.
111 - the dogs are broken through by Luna without losses. Around the castle are solid mountains, only one road leading away from the center, which isn't very encouraging. Little gold, only enough for 3 heroes and a building. I crack the chest to hire another hero, but no luck, a dove of luck. It's even strange how unlucky a "lucky" artifact can be. Above the castle I see a ring+1 speed behind halberdiers, but I decide to leave it for later. Behind the mountains, a bird nest sticks out; how to get there is unclear for now.
112 - I run to a road fork, see a tavern, not bad, at least we'll speed up a bit. No gold, barely enough for a building and a hero. I want to buy another hero from the external tavern, yeah, right. I take the chest - artifact+10% eagle.
113 - gathered a bit of gold, buy 2 scouts from the external tavern, send them exploring. The scout took an empty secondary dungeon, Luna entered +1 attack and ran along the path; need to slowly move towards the center, otherwise we're grazing in a corner. Not enough for an 8th hero; in the chest is an amulet of mana. Nothing good in sight yet.
114 - I look over my heroes, realize the entire bet is on Luna; no one fits the main role. Luna 1-1-4-4 with Scholar, basic Fire and Earth, but no Mage Guild. I run further along the path; a fork: one way 50+ harpies for a pandora's box, the other way 50-99 gargoyles for +1 all, a chest, and a medusa nest. Can bypass all, but in an arc. The situation is complicated by Luna having no mana and unskilled Fire Magic.
115 - I ride past the harpies, take a max crypt, see a camp behind the gargoyles. Also see a Dragon Fly Hive and a chain+4 behind 20+ cows. Can't handle the Dragon Fly Hive now, but need to take the camp. Luna has enough mana for one cast of Wall; I think about taking 2 chests for experience and maybe breaking the harpies for the pandora if Fire Magic levels up.
116 - in the camp are 3 Pit Fiend; I hire them, they'll come in handy. I take the chest, bow+5%. The second one - min. Hmph, "leveled up Fire Magic" they call it. I position Luna at the harpies, build a chain from the castle.
117 - I bring up birds and crazies, attack the harpies, got 30 Water Elementals. Not bad. I attack the gargoyles, there are 90 of them, they bit hard. Fire Magic still isn't leveling. I decide to eat the chest for experience... get a Magic Cloak. And why do I always naively expect gold/experience? I find the path to the bird nest but don't reach it, will take it with a scout on 121.
121 - I bring up the growth, take the chain and max Dragon Fly Hive with a scout, take the bird nest with another scout, Luna runs along the path. Lucky we found a well.
122 - I clear the pandora's box behind 100+ harpies with a scout, but there's experience inside. Army to Luna, she continues along the path. I break the cyclops for a pandora, got 10k experience, finally Fire Magic leveled up. And got First Aid. Earth is also expert, have Shield and Skin, but still haven't found the Mage Guild. Finally see the center - rogues and giants, but fortunately need to fight only one of them.
123 - Efreeti in the camp. I buy them, bring to Luna. Stats 7-4-11-8, attack the rogues with 2 efreeti and 1 giant. There are 75 of them, and they have Magic Mirror. The stack doesn't even die from 3 Walls. A bit of a sketchy fight; I kill 40 rogues, spend two hours thinking where to place walls, but 1 efreeti remains with 50 HP; I decide not to risk it and retreat. Without Luna, there would be no chance for sure.
I rebuy at home and sit to refill mana. Finish off the center with a zero-level scout; we got beaten very unpleasantly, but at least managed to save all the birds. I see nothing good in the Center, golden golems for a pandora's box stand on the road.
124 - plan is to find the Center castle and rebuy Luna there. I attack the golems, inside the pandora 35 wolves. I run further along the path, and... hit the opponent's center. 50+ efreeti that block me from most of the center and all the castles. And above I see his second guard zone - green dragons, and if he breaks them, he gets access to the Center, while I have no idea what to do; there's nothing to fight the efreeti with. Next to the guard zone I see a secondary town of Tower, in which Mephala is resting. Sadness. I give a reverse order to scouts, otherwise I'd get caught. At home, I slowly build the Mage Guild. With Luna, I take the artifact +1 speed and park for creature farming at the goblins.
The opponent moves - brings army to Mephala and attacks the efreeti, not the dragons. Breaks them and rides a bit along the road in my direction.
125 - I fly a scout into his secondary town, check Mephala - the army isn't that scary; I rebuy Luna, run into +1 attack, attack.
Luna 7-4-12-(85), 6 birds, 7 wyverns, 20 water elementals, 35 wolves, 1-1-35 giant.
Mephala 6-12-2-(30), 2 dragons, 18 wyverns, 5 rogues, 1-1-1-1 pegasus.
There's no mass magic there, and thanks to Lightning Bolt for 310 I drag the fight, 5 birds survive.
Thank you for the game.
