Second week killed the swamp comp, ran to the center, there's a Dragon Fly Hive there, on the swamp's respawn also a Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory, and another Dragon Fly Hive at home. Aislin with Earth, Log(?), and Attack. Built Dragons in the Castle and painted the external dwelling.
Third week we took the Dragon Fly Hives, revealed a Dragon Utopia, found a path to it. Over 600 Skeletons already, killed another swamp comp, on its respawn also a Griffin Conservatory. Aislin already with Intelligence and Defense.
141 I take the Dragon Utopia with Ducks and Skeletons, they give royally: КЗ, Shield and Sword +All, and a Morale-Luck pendant.
On 142 I moved Aislin towards the library with a couple of Dragons, the scout hero with artifacts and power went towards the Cyclops Den, and in the central town for some reason I left Elves and Skeletons. Well, and here of course Deesa came and killed the Skeletons and Elves. However, no one started hitting the scout with power, especially since with artifacts his stats were comparable to Deesa's.
143 I take the town back, Deesa is standing on an Angel next to it. I saw that it was Basic Tactics there, so I attacked with Das, having previously specifically upgraded the Pegasi, since I still didn't have Angels. But after killing the Skeletons there was a level-up and Tactics advanced. Only Deesa didn't buy peace, but started the battle for some reason, and was killed. Aislin reaches Solmir with power, he casts Chain Lightning and buys peace.
Then I collected a few Conservatories, Hives, an uninteresting Dragon Utopia, and at home in Mage Guild level 5, Implosion.
On the fifth week Dragon upgrade and forward - to attack. 215 with Shackles of War caught a fairly well-leveled Luna, but further the opponent with control cautiously hid Solmir and Grindan behind mountains. Managed to take one swamp town, but then I didn't have enough movement to TP into it and on 222 I lost it. Tamika went on a hike for scrolls, but there was nothing good in those scrolls. Aislin got Air in the last slot, perfect leveling.
On 223 I positioned Aislin so as to unexpectedly meet uninvited guests, the plan worked: both Grindan and Solmir stood within reach. I saw Solmir first, but he was standing very inconveniently in the swamp behind the mountains, I could only reach him through a hero from the prison probably, and I decided not to touch him for now. I went further along the road the other way and from a lookout point saw Grindan. Well, I couldn't miss such a chance, although I didn't have all the power with me, of course. But 900+ mana and a stat advantage inspired optimism.
Aislin 21 20 26 949 exp Attack, Advanced Defense, not fully leveled Air
Grindan 14 10 22 586 exp Attack, not fully leveled Air, Black Shard, +1 Speed
My units naturally hit harder, due to which more stacks survived, the opponent spent his casts on Implosion on the Dragons. By the fourth round, when the surrender came, the situation was as follows: Centaurs were standing on the corpse of Arch(ers?), Unicorns, on the corpse of Wyverns, the corpse of Angels was lying on top of the corpses of Wolves and Gorgons, and the Dragons were either getting up on the corpse of Manticores, or this would happen in the near future. I planned to cast Protection from Earth so that more Wyverns would rise from Resurrection than died from the explosion, then secure it with Anti-Magic and gradually take down the poop summoned by the opponent.
Thanks for the interesting game.
